Chapter 1359 9 wins and 1 loss
The preseason continues.
Chen Feng and Yu Qian's swings were very stable. Although they were unable to make any breakthrough this summer, Chen Feng was still only at the double S level, and Yu Qian was only at the single S level, but the two became more mature.
After all, they have reached a state that many people will never reach in their lifetime, and it is very difficult to make a breakthrough. However, after all, they are still young. Even if they do not make breakthroughs in technology, their personal mental state and ability will improve with time and training.
As for Xiao Meng, he has just entered the NBA and is still in the stage when Yu Qian first entered the NBA, and is still working hard.
In the third preseason game, the Lakers play against the Mavericks.
There is no suspense in this game. The Lakers defeated the Mavericks by 16 points. Chen Feng and Yu Qian still played only three quarters. Chen Feng scored 16 points, 14 assists, Yu Qian scored 18 points and 3 rebounds.
Scott intends to train young players, so it’s not just Chen Feng and Yu Qian. However, old players don’t have much playing time, and more time is given to young players.
Xiao Meng is naturally a young player, so he got almost the most playing time in the team. He also scored 21 points in this game, plus 10 rebounds.
Although the preseason did not affect the regular season record, the Lakers' three-game winning streak is still in a state of excitement.
Chen Feng and Yu Qian only played in three quarters in these three games, and Shi Xiaomeng almost averaged 2o1o per game, as well as the other Lakers' swings. As long as someone who pays a little attention can feel the strength of the Lakers.
Ordinary fans may not have that deep feeling, nor will they carefully analyze the playing time, data, etc. of everyone in the team, but they are just as excited.
Some fans are full of expectations and look forward to the Lakers continuing their winning streak.
......
One day later, the Lakers flew to the away game to challenge the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers did not take it lightly in this game. All the players participated. Paul George also played very seriously and played against Yu Qian. The two of them competed with each other at the beginning of the game.
Paul George's strength is undoubtedly the one who can directly compete with James and Kobe and not lose the upper hand. This time, the match against Yu Qian naturally attracted a lot of people.
"Come on." George smiled slightly, as if he was casual.
"Well." Yu Qian nodded, not taking it lightly. Although George seemed casual, Yu Qian knew that it was just on the surface, not so casual as to be self-confidence. It was just a kind of casualness and calmness caused by inner self-confidence, which actually did not mean that he was being careless.
Whoosh!
Yu Qian started, the first step was very fast.
But George didn't react slowly, and he didn't take it lightly. He also knew that Yu Qian's first step was very fast, so he responded first, stepped back a little, and stuck his position.
Yu Qian raised his eyebrows, not surprised. He quickly turned around, broke through from the face frame and turned into a back basket, pushed George with his back, and then turned over and jumped.
Swish!
The ball enters.
"Good ball," George smiled, "I will give you one later."
"I'll wait." Yu Qian nodded. There was no anger between the two. After all, this was just a preseason. Some were excitement and fighting spirit to meet masters.
Turning around, George did give Yu Qian a back, and forced Yu Qian to beat him, and then suddenly started, pushing Yu Qian with his body and making a layup.
In the following game, the two of them faced each other continuously, and at the beginning they were one-on-one, and the fans in the audience were very excited.
Then the coach stopped doing it.
This is a preseason competition, it is a practice of tactics and a lineup test. It is all like one-on-one, and the game becomes a one-on-one challenge. How can you practice tactics?
So after the first quarter, Yu Qian and George reduced their singles and began to integrate more into the team, and the two teams also entered a normal showdown.
Chen Feng did not interfere with Yu Qian and George's matchup, and acted as a guard in the organization, always focusing on passing the ball, occasionally giving a cold arrow to give the opponent a three-pointer.
When the first quarter ended, the Lakers led the way.
In the subsequent games, Chen Feng, Yu Qian, and George of the Pacers did not play much time. The coaches on both sides were training, testing the lineup, and constantly rotating.
Such a game is actually just a little fight, and the core players of both sides will not go all out.
When the game ended, the score was 118:11o, the Lakers led by 10 points, won the Pacers at home, and won four consecutive preseason wins. Chen Feng scored 13 points, 15 assists, Yu Qian had 18 points, 4 rebounds, and Shi Xiaomeng still scored the highest in the team, with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
......
The game ended and the Lakers flew to Atlanta.
The next day, the Lakers faced the Hawks, and Xiao Meng also faced a test for him, and would face the league's top center Dwight Howard.
Xiao Meng was a little nervous before the game. When the game started, he officially faced Howard, Xiao Meng immediately encountered trouble. In terms of physical confrontation, he was at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Howard is experienced and does not fight with Xiao Meng. He rarely has one-on-one with him, but he nails Xiao Meng to death on the defensive end, making him very uncomfortable to play.
When the first quarter ended, the Lakers fell behind.
Seeing this, Scott did not make any changes and continued his previous style of play. Xiao Meng tried to change himself, but it was still ineffective and was at a disadvantage in the match against Howard.
"Coach, let Chen Feng and I come on." Yu Qian was anxious to see.
"No," Scott was not panicked and said calmly: "For Shi, he has been doing too well for this period of time. It may not be a bad thing for him to suffer some losses at this time."
Yu Qian was stunned and reacted, not saying anything more.
In fact, Chen Feng also realized that Xiao Meng had been doing too well recently.
From the summer league to signing with the Lakers, Xiao Meng's data is getting better and better in the preseason, and he plays more and more passionately on the court, but there are also some hidden dangers. In this case, he is prone to expanding his self-confidence and losing himself.
As Scott said, it may not be a bad thing to make him fail at this time, but may make him more calm.
In this game, Chen Feng and Yu Qian sat off the court for most of the time to rest, while Xiao Meng was completely suppressed by Howard and almost beaten. When the game ended, the Lakers lost the game with 16 points. Xiao Meng played 35 minutes in the game, but only scored 13 points and 6 rebounds.
When the game ended, Xiao Meng's face became ugly.
Scott chatted with him for a while before Xiaomeng slowly recovered. From his eyes, Chen Feng knew that Xiaomeng was more calm.
.........
The Lakers' preseason record turned into 4 wins and 1 loss.
However, after this game, the Lakers exploded again. Chen Feng and Yu Qian were still strong, and Xiao Meng became more stable. They won all the next five preseason games.
Chapter completed!
