After the game, the news was flying all over the sky, but the Lakers hadn't ended their trip to the Eastern Conference. They flew non-stop to Brooklyn that night to play back-to-back away games against the Nets.

Although it is back-to-back, this game is the easiest one for the Lakers in the remaining schedule.

At this time, the Nets are still headed by Daluo, with Bo Yang and Jeremy Lin on the left and right. They are competing with the 76ers for the last place in the Eastern Conference.

Zheng Long scored 51 points in three quarters in a single game. He spent the game and led the team to finish the three quarters in advance, raising his scoring average to 29.8 points.

The 54th victory was easily won!
------

After a simple two-day rest, the Lakers ushered in their season rematch against the New York Knicks. This battle was more difficult than expected.

Derrick Rose broke out suddenly in this game, scoring a double-double of 36 points and 11 assists in the game, dragging the suspense of the game until the last moment.

And Zheng Long also staged a key confrontation with Melon Anthony in the last 2 minutes. In the end, the Lakers won 112-109.

When the game ended, Zheng Long once again experienced the "passion of fans in big cities", and the audience chanted MVP.

Zheng Long didn't expect his popularity in the Knicks to be so high. Look at the posture of these home fans, they can't wait to crowdfund Zheng Long to the Knicks!
And the Knicks fans really have this ability!
55th win!
This game also brought Zheng Long's scoring average to 29.9 points, and Westbrook seemed to feel the threat from Zheng Long behind him. In the past few days, the schedule has continued to explode, and his scoring average has increased by two points. 31.2 points.

In the post-match interview, Zheng Long was asked about competing for the scoring title in the season.

"Every scorer has a dream of scoring champion."

"Of course I am no exception."

"On the premise that the team wins, I will try my best to compete with Russell for the scoring title this season!"

For the first time, Zheng Long challenged Westbrook in public!
On the second day, after the Thunder game, the reporters who were willing to spread the word, of course, asked Westbrook about Zheng Long's interview yesterday.

Westbrook took a sip of water and said lightly, "I won't let him pass me."

Rise to the challenge!

Westbrook has always said what to say.

The media is boiling, two MVP candidates compete for the scoring title, shouting from the air, at the end of the regular season, is there anything more topical than this! ?
Zheng Long learned of Westbrook's response from Jokic's mouth.

The same is a faint smile.

"Why are you so excited, isn't Westbrook just like this?"

"Brother Long, for your scoring champion, I am willing to give everything. I can break Butler's leg for you!"

"?"

"In this way, he can continue to heal his injuries and won't steal your possession of the ball!"

"Are you sure this isn't public revenge? You stabbed your brother twice, and you stabbed your brother twice for the boss?"

"Hmph, I've been annoyed by him for a long time! Jimmy, when did you sit here!"

Butler, who had been sitting with his back to the two in a low-key manner, showed murderous eyes, and shook his fist, "Speak, fat man, how do you want to die!"

"Help, help, head coach!"

Jokic runs away in a flash, even faster than the counter fast break on the court.

Zheng Long suppressed a smile and asked Butler, "How are you? Can you play in the next game?"

Butler nodded and said, "Okay. I can fight now."

There was a brief silence between the two.

Compared with the eclectic atmosphere between Jokic and Zheng Long, Butler has always silently regarded Zheng Long as a goal and a competitor in his heart.

This kind of mentality also makes the atmosphere between the two slightly subtle, mutual respect and trust, but they treat each other very "politely".

"Long, are you really going to compete with Westbrook for the scoring title?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I see."

Butler didn't say much, but Zheng Long understood the weight of Butler's "OK", which means that Butler is willing to sacrifice some of his shots and statistics in the next schedule, so that Zheng Long can win every game. More points, to compete with Westbrook.

The vast majority of stars in the league, no matter how good and "close" they are with their teammates, can't make fun of their personal data.

Why is a star a star?Among other things, data is fundamental!
After all, this is a job, not a pure hobby!
Players who play for each team, before playing for the team, are actually playing for themselves. When the team wins, the players are of course rewarded, but if the team loses, as long as the players play their own performance and statistics, the same will not happen. affect your work.

This team can't get along, or doesn't want to stay anymore, as long as there are enough data as support, they can go to work for the next team.

The star of a bad team averaging 25+5+5 per game will definitely earn more money and have a higher status than a strong team averaging 15 points per game.

Only the possession of the ball can bring these intuitive data, and the distribution of the possession of the ball is related to the personal interests of the players.

Zheng Long knew this clearly.

So I can better understand how valuable Butler can make such a statement.

it is more than words.

Zheng Long patted Butler on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You can win the scoring champion if you can. The most important thing is that this season, I want to win a championship with you."

"We're at Staples Center together, we're lifting the O'Brien Trophy together."

"Golden rain began to fall in the arena."

"Such a picture, I have dreamed many times in my dreams."

"We will definitely make this dream a reality."

Who is not confused after hearing this?Who is not confused!
Zheng Long's lifelike description made Butler fall into reverie, and the corners of his mouth couldn't restrain his crazily rising.

If someone else had said that to him, Butler would have slapped him on the wall long ago.

Warriors, Spurs, Cavaliers, Rockets this season. Which one is easy to mess with?

Well done dream!

But I can only keep dreaming.

But it was Zheng Long who was talking to him, and Butler had [-]% trust in this man!

He has been constantly refreshing his cognition.

Together with him in the playoffs to win the cosmic brave, win the Spurs. Since he said so, he will be able to bring himself to do it!
"What are you two laughing about here? So happy."

Jokic, who had just escaped, daringly slipped back again. Seeing Butler smiling idiotically there, he really couldn't restrain his curiosity.

Saw Jokic coming back.

The smile on Butler's face quickly faded, as cold as ice, "Come here for me, I'll tell you!"

Jokic, who was five meters away, refused with a full face.

"I don't! I'm afraid you'll beat me up."

"Come here, I will definitely not beat you."

"Really?"

Then, Butler suddenly accelerated forward with a stride, and it was too late for Jokic to react, and Butler had his throat locked.

"Let me catch it! Still trying to break my leg? I'm going to strangle you to death in the arena today!"

Strong man locks men!

"Brother Long, save me!!!"

Jokic's desperate cries echoed in the arena, and Zheng Long left this place of right and wrong silently.

2017 3 Month 17 Day.

After finishing the last road trip in the Eastern Conference this season, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles, and the airport was filled with countless fans who came to pick them up.

A sea of ​​yellow!

Devout Lakers fans are excited to welcome the returning Lakers!

截止目前，湖人剩余赛程16场，他们的战绩已经来到了59胜7负，而上赛季创造了73胜神话的勇士队同期的战绩是60胜6负。

The record of the Lakers has been infinitely close to that of the Warriors last season.

16勇士在常规赛剩余的16场比赛中输掉了3场比赛，如果湖人队能够将剩余16场比赛中的负场数控制在2场，这就意味着他们能追平勇士，1场之内就能够超越勇士！

Facing such a Lakers worth looking forward to, how can the fans not be excited.

Every next game of the Lakers will attract the attention of fans all over the world.

The first game the Lakers return to the West will be against the Portland Trail Blazers at home. The Portland Trail Blazers are definitely one of the teams with a very special status in NBA history.

In the last century, the Trail Blazers could be regarded as one of the powerhouses in the West. They also won the NBA championship in the 1976-1977 season.

Then, they reached the Finals in 90 and 92, losing to the Pistons at the time and the Bulls led by Jordan respectively.

Come on, come on, Joe Pork, he's coming again!
However, after entering 2000, the fans' impression of the Trail Blazers became the "veterinary team".

This statement is not groundless. After 2000, the Blazers once got two very talented players.

In 2007, they selected the best high school student in the United States with the No. [-] pick in [-], the first-generation emperor Greg Oden, known as the historical-level physical talent.

And the 2006th pick exchanged with the Timberwolves in 6, "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Roy.

The end result was that these two talented players were ruined by injuries.

Especially Brandon Roy, at the end of the 2010 season, Roy suddenly suffered a torn meniscus injury, and during the hospital examination, it was discovered that Roy's knee injury had long been a sign, but the Trail Blazers team doctor It was not detected during the routine physical examination. Roy was detected by the opponent's team doctor when he participated in an away game. As soon as this happened, the Trail Blazers confirmed the title of veterinarian.

Because the Blazers did not seize the opportunity given by God, the Blazers naturally experienced a short period of loneliness, but luck always accompanies the Blazers.

Although they lost Oden and Roy, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, whom they selected in 12 and 13, have gradually grown into All-Star players, forming the "Trailblazers" , quickly led the Blazers back to the ranks of the playoffs.

And this season, even in the West where there are many strong players, the Blazers still temporarily achieved the eighth record in the West.

The battle for spots at the end of the season was brutal, and the intensity of some games was not even lower than that of the playoffs.

However, the Nuggets, who are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, are only one win away from them. If they lose another game, it means that they may fall out of the playoffs.

And happened to meet the Lakers again.

The outside media and fans are looking forward to the performance of the Blazers. They will definitely not choose to surrender, and the Lakers want to continue their winning streak and chase the regular season winning record. This game of the Blazers is another must for them. won.

A bloody battle is imminent!
And what's also interesting is that if the Trail Blazers finally stabilize the eighth place in the Western Conference, they will also meet the Lakers, who are ranked first in the Western Conference, in the first round of the playoffs.

It's like an early first-round warm-up before the playoffs.

------

At eight o'clock in the evening on March 3th, at the Staples Arena, the game has just begun.

Compared with the beginning of the season, the price of tickets at the end of the season doubled directly, but this did not stop the enthusiasm of Lakers fans to come to the scene to cheer for the home team.

For the Trail Blazers: Lillard and McCollum form a backcourt double shot, Harkless and Aminu double forward, and Mason Plumlee guards the basket.

In addition to the Blazers' double guns, the other three starters of the Blazers are all unknown blue-collar players.

This also proves in reverse how well the Blazers have played this season.

利拉德场均27.0分4.9篮板5.9助攻，而麦科勒姆场均则是23.0分3.6助攻3.6篮板，三分命中率高达42.1%。

Fans have the impression that Lillard is very good at three-pointers. In fact, compared to Lillard, McCollum is the most stable three-point shooter for the Trail Blazers.

On the Lakers side, after Butler's return, it is still the Lakers' starting five consisting of Oladipo, Zheng Long, Butler, Nance Jr., and Jokic.

The Lakers took the initiative. As the first game back home, Oladipo "sensibly" handed over the basketball to Zheng Long.

Listen to the cheers on these pitches.

Of course Oladipo knows that fans have spent several times the price of tickets, and they want to see who plays.

And Zheng Long, as the boss, should be the "first shot" by Zheng Long!
Zheng Long held the ball and strolled to the frontcourt, facing McCollum.

Although people always say that the Blazers have two guns, the absolute boss of the Blazers is Lillard. Among the few discussions left by the fans to the Blazers, 90.00% are given to Lillard.

Sometimes you even ignore that McCollum is a quasi-All-Star player who can average 20+ per game.

The reason is that compared to Lillard's pleasing style of play, McCollum is more like an honest man who works quietly.

The style of play is simple, and the court is also extremely low-key.

In the first two seasons after being selected by the Trail Blazers in 13, McCollum almost sat out the bench and won the few playing time averaging more than ten minutes per game.

But last season, he ushered in an explosion, and his scoring average soared from 6.8 points to 20.8 points per game. His scoring has increased so much, and his shooting percentage has also increased.

It also earned him Most Improved Player for the 2015-16 season.

But today, Zheng Long saw the answer from McCollum's eyes. Even facing himself, McCollum's eyes were full of determination and fighting spirit.

He really wants to win!

He really thinks he can win!
Originally, Zheng Long wanted to come to give lessons to Li Tutor today, but he didn't expect to take the lead, so he had to arrange for McCollum first.

Because I prefer the fearful eyes of the players!

Come on, little CJ!
