NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 140 Preparing for the Christmas War
Time flies, fast forward.

Since the Lakers won ten consecutive victories and Lin Feng got the hidden reward as he wished, the system did not send out any reminders.

This can't help but make Lin Feng wonder, triggering hidden rewards, is it random?

It is not always possible to obtain hidden rewards for ten consecutive victories.

This thing is like winning the lottery, it depends on character.

During this period of time, the Lakers have achieved another big winning streak.

He has played the Clippers, Jazz, Nets, Bucks, Pacers, Hornets, Eagles, Kings, Mavericks, including the second round of the Rockets.

This was another ten-game winning streak, and the system didn't reward Lin Feng any more.

Of course, there are points. Every time a victory is completed, the points will be credited to the account on time, which means that the hidden reward that Lin Feng was looking forward to is gone.

Now the timeline has come to December 2006, 12, and there are still five days before the Christmas carnival for the whole people.

On Christmas Day, the Lakers have a game and will go to Miami on the south coast of Florida to challenge the Heat away.

Tonight's game, the Lakers sit at home and face the Timberwolves.

The last time they played against the Timberwolves, the Lakers played away, but this time they are at the Staples Center.

The Lakers, who have won [-] consecutive victories, are unrivaled in the league. Not surprisingly, the tickets for this year's playoffs are well secured.

So Zen Master decided to arrange for Kobe and Lin Feng to rest in the game against the Timberwolves tonight.

He is going to 'train', so that the old fish Fisher, Smush Parker, and Aaron McGee, who have been sitting on the bench, get some playing time.

After asking Lin Feng and Kobe for their opinions, they said there was no problem.

After five days, head to Miami on the South Coast and focus on winning the Heat.

Every year, the ratings of Christmas Wars will be very high.

Americans attach great importance to Christmas, just like the Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival, which can be described as a national carnival.

In this kind of festival, everyone has nothing to do, chatting with family members, while sitting by the TV and watching football.

Rich people will also go to the scene to watch the battle in person.

The same is true for Huaxia, the NBA Christmas game, the ratings exploded, and the attention was extremely high.

The Zen master arranged for Kobe and Lin Feng to take a break from the game, and go to Miami to challenge the Heat in the next Christmas game, so that they can have more energy.

And Zen master knows Kobe, and against the Heat, Kobe will definitely go all out.

In this year, Miami did not have the Big Three, but it had a big shark.

This big shark was lucky. He won a championship ring in the first year of teaming up with Dwyane Wade on the South Coast.

Kobe saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

The Lin Ke combination will meet Wade and Shaquille O'Neal on Christmas. This will be a wonderful game!

That night, Lin Feng and Kobe appeared at Staples, but they did not wear jerseys, but in casual clothes.

Meeting Wolf King Garnett again, Lin Feng and Kobe chatted with him, and Wolf King was quite unhappy with Zen Master's decision to take a rest.

Why don't they take turns to rest early or late, but when the Lakers are playing against their Timberwolves, the Zen master arranges for Lin Feng and Kobe to take turns?
Does this look down on their Timberwolves?
Feeling that they are too weak, you can beat them easily without resorting to the main lineup?

Wolf King Garnett was very angry, and both Lin Feng and Kobe saw it.

This can't be blamed on Zen Master's decision to rest. In fact, the Timberwolves this year are indeed very weak.

Even if Lin Feng and Kobe don't play, and the substitute players perform well, it is possible to beat the Timberwolves.

Garnett got the ball in the opening game. He felt that the Zen master disrespected the Timberwolves, so from the beginning, the wolf king Garnett did his best on both offense and defense.

Once the Lakers were overwhelmed, the wolf king was angry, and there was no Lin Feng and Kobe to save the game. This game was a bit messed up.

After the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Lakers by 8 points under the leadership of Garnett.

Seeing this, the Lakers fans were not in a hurry or cursed at all, because they all knew that Lin Feng and Kobe took turns to rest tonight in order to prepare for the Christmas game five days later.

It's no big deal even if they lose this game. After all, the Lakers' record has already led the league. No team can achieve the first [-] consecutive victories.

It is reasonable to lose in the rotation. If you win without losing, there are only two possibilities to explain the problem.

The first is good luck, and the second is that the Timberwolves are so weak that they can't even beat the Lakers' bench players.

In fact, this possibility was killed by Wolf King Garnett.

He scored 11 points in the first quarter, and continued to work hard in the second quarter. At halftime, the Timberwolves had already led the Lakers by 12 points.

Sitting on the sidelines, Lin Feng and Kobe watched Garnett's brave performance with a smile.

"Lin, it seems that KG is very angry about our rest. He thinks this is Zen master's disrespect for him, so we will lose tonight's game!"

With a smile on his face, Kobe was not surprised that his team fell behind.

After all, Garnett is the king of the Wolves, an All-Star player, and a top power forward in the league.

Kobe and Lin Feng are not on the court. The Timberwolves still lose tonight, and Garnett will lose all his face.

What's more, the Zen master arranged for them to take turns to rest. This behavior has already angered the warlike wolf king.

Lin Feng smiled and replied: "Yes, we are afraid that we will lose this game. KG is indeed angry. Think in another way. If this kind of thing happens to us, we will also have a headache."

"Well, so let KG win tonight, and our energy is mainly focused on the next Christmas game! Shaq, I will beat you!"

Kobe's eyes were dark. Since parting ways with O'Neal, Kobe has been thinking about chasing the fourth championship and even the fifth championship all the time.

He wants to prove to the world that the Lakers are still a strong contender for the championship without O'Neal.

He wants to prove that Kobe Bryant is not inferior to Shaquille O'Neal.

Lin Feng looked at Kobe's dignified expression and knew that Kobe had to give full play to his strength against the Miami Heat in the Christmas game.

If the Christmas game is lost to the Heat, following Kobe's paranoid character, he will definitely explode in the locker room.

Soon, the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves was over.

The final outcome was as expected by Lin Feng and Kobe Bryant. The Timberwolves won, beating the Lakers with a big score of 105:91.

This is a hard-won victory for the Timberwolves, while the Lakers are just the opposite, an "invincible and lonely" active loss.

The Lakers lost, and the fans at the scene did not complain, and left Staples happily after watching the game.

Everyone understands that this is a victory that the Lakers gave to the Timberwolves. The fans are most concerned about the game between the Lakers and the Miami Heat five days later.

At the post-match press conference, the wolf king was very annoyed, even if he won, there was no joy on his face.

And Lin Feng and Kobe went home early to rest, preparing for the Christmas battle five days later!
