Chapter 590. The Battle of the Enemy
The success of the Saints has made Lin Feng more and more famous, and even some people who don't pay much attention to basketball know his name.

On March 3, the Lakers ushered in their arch-enemy Celtics at Staples.

A full month ago, they won the game amid boos at the TD North Shore Garden Arena. Lin Feng's 35 points overshadowed Celtics leader Kyrie Irving.

Visiting Los Angeles a month later, all the young people of the Celtics held their breath, wanting to avenge their failure at home last time.

At present, the Celtics have surpassed the Pacers to climb to third place in the Eastern Conference rankings. They have won four wins and one loss in the last five games, and they are very energetic.

The Lakers defeated the Nuggets in the game three days ago and defeated their opponents in a strong dialogue. After losing to the Pelicans in early March, they won five consecutive victories and won the first place in the Western Conference.

However, the Warriors behind them are chasing very closely. After the matchup with the Celtics' old enemy, the Lakers will start their own Eastern road trip, and the Raptors and Bucks are staring at them.

Kyrie Irving set foot on the land of Los Angeles and faced LeBron again. I don't know how he will feel.

The bad news for the Lakers is that Yingge was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis after the game against the Nuggets and needed to take blood-thinning drugs for a long time to prevent potentially fatal blood clots.

This is bad news for the Lakers. Fortunately, Yingge's situation is much better than that of Chris Bosh, and his life will not be in danger for the time being.

Many athletes have experienced blood clots, such as Lao Zhan's former teammate Anderson Varejao.

The situation that worried Lin Feng still appeared. In the last life, Yingge had been recuperating for this disease for more than half a year, and she still couldn't escape it in this life.

The absence of all-star players is very frustrating for the Lakers who are aiming for the championship. Fortunately, they have a lot of players who can play, and their early record is impressive, so they will not plummet.

All members of the Lakers also expressed their best wishes to Yingge on social media, hoping that he will recover soon.

At the beginning of the season, the Lakers' four young players had already injured two generals. Fortunately, Lin Feng turned out to save the team.

At Staples tonight, many Lakers fans wore Yingge's No. 14 jersey and held up placards about him, which was very warm.

The Celtics went all out, and the guys in the green jerseys showed great adaptability.

Facing the full field of Lakers fans, Tatum and others looked relaxed.

With Yingge absent, Kuzma was promoted to the starting lineup to continue his lift career.

Kuzma and Tatum formed a friendship in the rookie game, and the two also said hello before the game.

"Smart Boy" Smart looked angry. He was very upset in the game a month ago. He was beaten by Lin Feng on the offensive and defensive ends. After the game, he complained on Twitter. He kept holding back tonight. Get angry.

Lao Zhan sprinkled magnesium powder iconically before the game, which has become his personal logo.

Lin Feng was jogging on the field. In the game against the Nuggets, he collided with Murray in a scramble and suffered a slight injury to his left shoulder. Fortunately, the problem was not serious and he was able to play tonight.

"Listen Gary, if you feel something is wrong with your shoulder, then we'll take you off right away. Brandon will probably be out for a long time, so we can't continue to take risks."

Before the start of the game, Coach Bichler has been evaluating Lin Feng's shoulder injury. In fact, he can skip this game, but that is not Lin Feng's character.
He likes to go all out in what he is willing to do and pass on the Lakers' Mamba spirit.

Lin Feng nodded, "I understand Coach."

In fact, besides him, Lao Zhan also had a slight strain in his groin.But tonight's game is about the honor of the Los Angeles people, and he has to play.

In the words of old Zhansai said to reporters before, "If it is Kobe Bryant, I think he will definitely play. This is no big deal for us."

Although Kobe retired, the Mamba spirit has been circulating in the Lakers, affecting everyone.

"LeBron James!"

The old man made his finale, and cheers resounded throughout the Staples Center.

Near the middle circle, McGee faced Horford.

The first attack belonged to the Celtics. Irving got the ball and slowly advanced.

Walton pushed Pope into the starting lineup and partnered with Rondo in the backcourt. This is one of the team's frequent lineups this season.

The opponents played with all players, Irving, Smart, Morris, Tatum and Horford.

Irving was very aggressive at the beginning. The game a month ago made him questioned. Now he urgently needs to prove his leadership ability.

The ball was given to Horford in the low post, and Irving took advantage of the trend to cut in!The right hand picked the basket and scored two points first.

Lin Feng on the sidelines could see that Owen held back a lot of energy, and he will definitely release it at Staples tonight.

Lao Zhan slowly crossed the half court and gave the ball to Big McGee at the free throw line.The latter leaned on Horford to find a confrontation, and then returned to Lao Zhan after realizing that he was not the same.

Outside the three-point line, Lao Zhan was unequivocal, lowered his head, and with a tremor of his upper body, he threw the ball freehand!

Strike the iron!

Kuzma, who returned to the starting lineup, rushed into the penalty area to grab a rebound, and then came out again to find Lao Zhan.

Unexpectedly, LeBron raised his hand and scored a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

This time the sound of iron striking was louder, and Lin Feng could hear it very clearly.

Kuzma looked at him in disbelief, while LeBron, who wasted the ball, trotted back calmly.

The Green Army's momentum was fierce, and Irving continued to hold the ball and advance.I don't know what happened to them in the locker room in the past month. Those young people who questioned Irving seemed to have figured it out, and they all listened hard to his instructions.

And there have been no rumors of questioning Irving's leadership recently. When the team keeps winning, all problems are no longer problems.

Irving hit the basket, squeezed Pope to the bottom position on the right, turned around and shot!
Missed, but Tatum flew to take off the rebound, and then assisted Smart dunked with both hands!
The Celtics started off well, and they have to enter the state earlier than the Lakers.

After successfully dunking, Smart slapped his chest angrily, showing his strong arms in front of the Lakers fans.

Lin Feng and Hart looked at each other and smiled.

"That guy is very competitive. It is said that after losing to us last month, he practiced hard on three-pointers and is planning to participate in next year's three-pointer contest."

Lin Feng jokingly said that in the previous fights, he had constant friction with Smart.By chance, the two "met" outside Staples today, ignoring each other like strangers.

In fact, they are strangers. Smart has a strong self-esteem and is unwilling to let a rookie do everything in front of him.

Start 0-4, familiar formula.

LeBron blew into his hand and handed the ball to Rondo.

The feint pass guided by Long accurately found McGee under the basket, allowing him to easily pick the basket and score.

The home team finally opened up, and [-] Lakers fans seized the opportunity to cheer.

But soon, Horford of the Celtics made a low hook into the basket with a soft touch.

2-6, the opponent played too smoothly, Wharton requested a timeout for adjustment.
