Chapter 295 296. The Honeymoon Period

The next ten games can be seen as a series, an appetizer before the Christmas game.

The first to come to Staples to challenge was the Phoenix Suns. ESPN predicted before the game that the Suns, the bottom team in the league, had only a 17.3% chance of winning.
Devin Booker also returned from injury after missing two games. The Suns led by him had 1 win and 10 losses in away games. Facing the fiery enthusiasm of 2 Los Angeles fans, it may be difficult to parry.

But the game was not as predicted by the experts before the game. The Suns in the away game in the first quarter made a fantastic start, and soon got a huge lead of 25-8 with more points.

Wharton scratched his head anxiously. He might be scolded for losing to the Suns at home.

Fortunately, even if Kuzma stood up, relying on his consecutive scoring to stop the team from bleeding, the Suns led 31-21 by 10 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Suns returned to the bottom team with poor offense and defense. After Lin Feng came on the field, he led the bench to play a wave.

He scored 12 points in a single game to help the team quickly turn the situation around. The Lakers broke out in this quarter, and Hartfinson Beasley and others took turns to bomb from high altitude.

With 40 points in a single quarter, they beat the Suns by 25 points!
At the end of the first half, the Lakers quickly took a 61 lead 46-15!
After the start of the second half, Booker's shooting handicap once approached to ten points, but after that, the Suns never had a chance to close the point difference.

After Lin Feng made a tough breakthrough, he assigned it to Hart, who was ambushing on the bottom line. The latter scored two goals in the same position, extinguishing the hopes of the Suns.

Ayton's performance throughout the game was quite satisfactory. Since he is a center forward, there are not many opportunities to face Lin Feng. It will only happen when Lin Feng wants to stand alone.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 21 points, and the fourth quarter was completely reduced to garbage time. The coaches of both sides withdrew from the rotation and sent the third team.

Lin Feng clocked out after only 18 points in the game, and even played a game of throwing water bottles with Lao Zhan and the others on the bench.

Caruso played the entire fourth quarter and led the third team to widen the point difference by four points.

最终湖人120-96狂胜太阳，艾顿10分10贡献低配版两双，布克12分6助攻。

The sun's most eye-catching performance was Trevor Ariza, who scored a team-high 16 points. Apart from that, the sun had nothing to shine.

For the Lakers, Lin Feng scored 15 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds in a limited time. If the Suns hadn't given up resistance early, he could have exploded even more.

Kuzma scored a game-high 23 points with his outstanding performance in the first two quarters, followed by Lao Zhan with 22 points. Yingge, Beasley, and Big McGee all scored in double figures, and Caruso also scored 8 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the whole Lakers team was really nervous. Let the Suns play a 25-8 attack wave, which will make the whole league smile.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end, and the sun was taken down without bloodshed.

Director Long continued to be absent due to a broken hand, and Devin Booker on the Suns side was also injured in the third quarter.

This game allowed the Lakers to secure fifth place in the Western Conference, and their city rivals slipped to sixth after a loss.

Seeing that the top half is close at hand, the whole team is full of momentum.The team will continue to sit at home against the Spurs, and then fly to San Antonio to play Popovich's team.

As a result, one win and one loss, the two teams each defended their home courts and failed to let their opponents run wild in their own territory.

The Lakers first succeeded at home 121-113 without any risk. Three days later, they were led by Shuangde to score 133 points in San Antonio.

The Spurs' AT&T Arena is known as one of the league's four major home courts.

The Warriors Oracle Arena ranks first because the Warriors are so strong that no one can beat them.

The Nuggets and Jazz are due to the suffocation brought by the high altitude and the tenacious spirit of the two teams.

However, the Spurs can become the "devil F4" entirely because of their poor stadium hardware.

The Spurs are very unfriendly to the visiting team. In the 2014 Finals, James had cramps because the Spurs did not have air conditioning at home and there was no fan in the visiting team's locker room.

There are many strange things, such as the visiting team's bathroom without hot water, flies flying around in the locker room, and even a bat once ran into the arena.

In short, nine out of ten players don't want to come to the AT&T Arena once to play.

Lin Feng felt the same way. When they took a shower after the game, their whole team encountered the embarrassment of no hot water, and it took half an hour to fix it.

During this period, the Lakers players stared wide-eyed in the locker room. They were in a bad mood when they lost the game, and they were even more upset when there was no hot water.

Somebody swears a bad word, and the whole team swears one by one.

The away loss to the Spurs did not make him lose the fifth place in the Western Conference, and there is still a gap of one ball away from the fourth Thunder.

It is worth mentioning that under the outbreak of the bearded Harden, the Rockets, the bottom team in the league, won a wave of five consecutive victories, and rushed into the top eight in the Western Conference from the tail of the crane.

During this period, Harden averaged 32.8 points per game, his offensive power was terrifying, and he almost pulled the team ashore on his own.

The Lakers lost, and the good news is that Lin Feng narrowly overwhelmed Luka Doncic and was elected the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference in November.

The competition between the two for the best rookie has reached a fever pitch, and the Lone Ranger and the Lakers have stood up to express their strong support for their players.

The Lone Ranger believes that Doncic is a genius boy in Europe. He won the award and got soft hands. After coming to the NBA, he averaged 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. There is no doubt that such a result was selected!
Lin Feng's statistics are not as explosive as Doncic's, averaging 20.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, but Lin Feng now contributes up to 3.2 steals per game, is the well-deserved steal leader in the league, and is also in the top five in the block list.

These two data have reasons for the Lakers to call Lin Feng the best rookie.

When he was informed that he was selected as the Rookie of the Month, Lin Feng and his teammates were sitting in the locker room waiting for the hot water in the bathroom.

When the news came, everyone stood up and hugged him.Lao Zhan even forwarded the official NBA Twitter and commented: My little brother deserves it, he is the king of Los Angeles, and he is worthy of the name.

The Lakers locker room became more joyful, and everyone took out their mobile phones and began to forward Lao Zhan's message.

"LeBron, if you say this, some people will think that you have found a new target." Rondo said with a smile.

Lao Zhan spread his hands, "I can't satisfy everyone, I can only be ourselves."

Indeed, someone with malicious intentions left a message saying that Lao Zhan has a new thigh in his arms, and without Owen Love, the thirty-year-old man has found a new object to blame.

Lin Feng was having fun watching it. Some fans are just bored. They gossip all day long on the Internet and change their nicknames to be very specific.

It's also fun to watch them spray themselves sometimes.

After waiting for half an hour, the Lakers finally waited for the hot water, the locker room was full of joy, and then they went to the bathroom in groups with towels on.

Soon, it was steaming inside and laughter continued.
