Chapter 293 294. We are the strongest
After this game, the Lakers tied the No.5 Clippers in the West. As long as the Clippers lose to the Bucks tomorrow night, the Lakers will be automatically promoted to fifth.

In the bathroom after the game, Kuzma straightened and shouted "Go Antetokounmpo!"
"I believe the Greeks will not give the Clippers a chance, because they want to maintain their lead over the Raptors." Kuzma analyzed.

Lin Feng smiled, "It's better to ask others than to ask ourselves. If we pin our hopes on the Bucks, then we can't go far."

His words were approved by Lao Zhan. In Lao Zhan's eyes, he never expects others to do something. Only going all out to defeat the opponent is the best way to solve the problem.

Playing the Suns two days later, the team with the worst record in the league, losing streak is commonplace for them.

No. 16.3 pick DeAndre Ayton averaged a double-double of 10.3+[-] per game. Lin Feng always believed that this guy was underestimated.

If it weren't for the Suns, who have unlimited firepower in Booker, I am afraid that Ayton, with his strong offensive ability, is expected to get an amazing score of 20+10 in his rookie season.

Ayton doesn't like to express himself, but he has extraordinary ability, otherwise the league wouldn't have positioned him as the No. [-] pick earlier.

Half a year ago, when people were still debating who was the No. [-] pick between Doncic and Bagley, no one questioned Ayton's status as the No. [-] pick.

At the press conference after the game, Lin Feng followed Walton and Lao Zhan to attend. Since Rondo was injured, the three of them have become frequent visitors to the interview booth.

At the beginning of the scene, Lin Feng made a fainting feint to entertain the public, which made everyone laugh.

After asking a few questions about the game, the reporter pointed the finger at Lin Feng. The battle between him and Doncic for the "best rookie" is naturally the center of public opinion.

As early as when the players went back to the locker room to take a shower, the Internet was blown up about this matter.

Of course, European fans prefer Luka Doncic, who they knew before. Those people think that Lin Feng pays too much attention to expressing himself, such as not laying up if he can dunk, celebrating hard after scoring, etc. You have to be a lot more humble.

There is an item of "self-expression" in American culture, so Lin Feng's approach has been recognized, especially by Los Angeles fans.

Spectators from the North American continent believe that Lin Feng is an outstanding representative of this year's young people. He is very entertaining to play and very showy off the court, which is very suitable for the appetite of Americans who love gossip.

In short, the "best rookie" competition will accompany the two for a whole season until the result is selected, and even then it cannot stop.

"Many people are now paying attention to the competition between you and Luca. As a party involved, how do you view this matter?" A reporter asked.

Lin Feng shrugged, "I think LeBron certainly didn't have such doubts back then, because neither Carmelo Anthony nor Darko Milicic could shake his status."

Hearing the praise for himself, Lao Zhan made a face and amused the audience again.

"Gary is good at chatting, he has always been like this." Old Zhan said with his eyes wide open.

Back to the topic, Lin Feng wants to give everyone an explanation after the joke.

"Luka is very good, it is an honor to compete with him. You and I both know that he has won championships in Europe, and now he has come to the NBA, and I was just lucky to catch the last bus in the draft."

After talking a lot, Lin Feng found that he seemed to be answering irrelevant questions.

"You ask me how I look at this matter? There is no doubt that I think I will be the best rookie, and I will also help the Lakers win the championship. This is the only goal, and the whole team is working hard for it."

"Michael Beasley, have you seen his performance on the court? This is the current Lakers, everyone is working hard."

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng nodded and moved the microphone away. The group of reporters was still full of ideas, because they didn't hear what they most wanted to hear.

But that's all there is to say, no matter who he faces, Lin Feng will tell them that the goal of the Lakers is to compete for the championship, defeat the five-star Warriors, and then start a new Lakers dynasty.

On the Lone Ranger side, Carlisle took all the responsibility. He thought his players played very well. He was biting the score in the first quarter, but the Lakers' bench lineup gave them a blow.

"I heard Terry Stotts talk about Gary Smith, he's a very talented young man, he used to kill the game in front of Lillard, this guy really opened my eyes tonight."

"I always think that my players are the best. Luca has won the European championship, and I believe he is still outstanding when he comes to the NBA."

The Dallas team is as humble as their owners, it's part of their team culture.

Back home that night, Lin Feng received a call from Ursula. She chose to stay at school tonight and did not go home because she was about to take a very important exam.

Although Ursula Watson is a rich girl, she still knows what she should do. Although her personality is quite different from other girls, she does not have the squeamishness of a rich family.

Lin Feng told her to concentrate on her studies, after all, Ursula is still very young.

Lin Feng felt like a young father, teaching his daughter homework.

"The day before Christmas Eve is my 16th birthday, so."

On the phone, Ursula was as gentle as a little sheep, and this time she hoped that Lin Feng would take the initiative to propose something.

Because Ursula knew Lin Feng's attitude towards her from the bottom of her heart, she knew that wishful thinking might not get anything in the end.

That night was just a continuation after the party, not a hit-and-miss.

At 16, Ursula has a mind of her own and is more mature than her peers.

She followed her upper-class parents to various occasions every day, and she understood what the world looked like from a very young age.

When she met Lin Feng at the party, Ursula's young girl's heart was pounding, but more than a month had passed, and Ursula thought it was time to do something.

"Ursula, if I...have time, then of course I will."

Lin Feng thought it was unusual this time.

Ursula on the other end of the phone said, "I'll give you the address before the birthday party, and I hope you can show up. Let's not talk, I have to go into the dormitory right away!"

Lin Feng understood what she meant, and paused on the phone, "Of course."

To be honest, Lin Feng was a little bit at a loss. Before the soul piercing, he was just an ordinary young man, but now he has to face many things that he has never encountered in his previous life.

For example, chatting with girls from upper-class families, which was absolutely impossible before.

Sierra Canyon High, a chubby figure looms in the dark hallway.

"Ursula Watson? I know it's you, you should stay in your room at this time!" The fat woman was the dormitory administrator.

Ursula rushed into the dormitory apologetically, then threw off the covers and jumped into bed.

Everything was calm, and on the other side of Los Angeles, the lights in the Staples Center were suddenly brightened, and the staff still had a lot to do after the game.
