NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 350 Midfield Adjustment
The two teams fought back and forth, and no one could break the score.

The strength is between equals, and the offensive style of play is also very similar.

Every offense of the Suns is the evolution and superposition of pick-and-roll tactics.

If the Lakers are in control of the ball, they also like to play pick-and-rolls very much. After a dislocation is caused, James will kill the opponent.

In recent games, James has played off the ball more often, with Westbrook in charge, and the proportion of pick-and-rolls has decreased, but it still accounts for a large proportion.

There is not much difference in the style of play, it is equivalent to the middle lane against the sniper, and the comparison is who is more durable.

For 48 minutes, every minute and every second must maintain strong fighting spirit until the enemy collapses.

This is a protracted battle, a tough battle, and a contest of willpower.

At the end of the second quarter, both sides encountered bottlenecks in physical fitness, so they had to grit their teeth and hold on.

Usually at this time, the coaches are likely to be on rotation, but the more critical the game, the more cautious the two coaches will reduce the time spent on rotation.

The Lakers are basically starting Garmunch and Tucker, and they have no chance to attack Kaleidoscope Melon;
The Suns are similar, with a seven-man rotation, starting with Johnson and Shamet, and even Payne rarely plays.

Without physical strength as a guarantee, the scene in the second half was almost timeless, with iron strikes and frequent mistakes.

The substitutes of the two teams shook their heads as they sat off the court.

Is this playing?If it was me, I would have made them cry a long time ago.

The fans are no longer so passionate, and occasionally a few words of MVP are mixed in the drowsy sound effects of the live DJ, which seems a bit out of place.

In the TNT studio, O'Neill threw the plastic bag into the trash can after eating the biscuits, and said with a pun: "Trash should be thrown out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless disasters."

"Who is rubbish, isn't it talking about me?" Barkley laughed.

O'Neill shook his head straight: "Everyone on the field is rubbish. Isn't it embarrassing for them to play like this?"

It is rare for Smith to agree with O'Neal: "One claims to be the Lakers magician, and the other claims to be the best point guard in active service. The scene is completely out of control. Do you think they will be embarrassed?"

Barkley said with a smile: "As long as you are not embarrassed, others are the ones who are embarrassed."

He stood up and moved his body, walked to O'Neill, suddenly awakened the skills of his ancestors, and made a fake move of a monkey stealing a peach.

"Actually, I suggest that we turn off the screen and enter the intermission early."

O'Neal laughed and said, "I don't care, as long as you don't make such dangerous moves."

"Is it dangerous? I have a sense of proportion, can I not control the heat?"

"I'm not in danger, but you are." After O'Neill finished speaking, he got up and rushed towards Barkley.

Barkley is a nimble fat man, and with a dodge, he has disappeared from O'Neill's sight.

Between the two of them, the first half finally came to an end.

The players of the two teams breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were ashamed to see others, and quickly ran back to the locker room.

The Lakers fans waiting by the passage didn't even hit high fives, feeling mmp in their hearts.

Isn't it better to play the ball better and earn more money? What a bull.

It really doesn't matter if you play well, but if you make more money, it will make a big difference.

Laughing at the poor but not laughing at the prostitutes, this principle is common all over the world.

The fans scolded and scolded, after all, they bought tickets to come in, so they couldn't just walk away, so they had to focus on the beautiful cheerleaders.

Fortunately, the performances of the cheerleaders are much more reliable than the players, and they never disappoint.

Vogel cut to the chase.

"We won by 3 points, but I am not satisfied with our offense at all. Let's talk about how to play in the second half."

Compared with the first quarter, the offensive quality of the second quarter is indeed poor, and the scoring points are too concentrated.

Of the 25 points, James had 12 points, Thick Eyebrow had 10 points, and other players had 3 points.

The embarrassing thing is that these 3 points also came from Meng Hua who feinted.

Westbrook, Rivers, Monk and Tucker failed.

Westbrook took the lead in expressing his opinion: "I think LeBron is in excellent condition. I'm a little lazy. I just want to stand aside and watch him play well. I will adjust in the second half."

James thought to himself, if you want to adjust, then I am not playing without the ball, you should stand aside and watch.

With a 3-point lead at halftime and a 6-point lead at the end of the game, that's the best in the league. Isn't this a good result?
The team is leading, and James is playing high, he doesn't think there is any problem with the offense.

Let Meng Hua be the bait, and he kicks the enemy's ass in the back, isn't it good?

Rivers self-reflected: "There are a few balls, my running position overlaps with Meng Hua, I will rationalize my thinking later, don't be smoked by him."

Everyone laughed.

Meng Hua secretly slandered: "Your sister, you must have made a mistake, so don't drag me along."

The two are the most active in training and have the best relationship. Meng Hua is still a celebrity in front of the head coach. Of course Rivers loves him. Although this is self-criticism, he will be less likely to be scolded.

Being disgusted by Rivers, if the opponent hits him, he will definitely reply immediately, but for his teammates, he is willing to sacrifice.

In exchange for the improvement of team cohesion in the way of being ridiculed, this is really a good deal.

Compared with the Lakers, the Suns' scoring is relatively average, and one mountain looks higher than another. Monty is not very satisfied with this situation.

He asked Booker to stand up and want to win the Lakers away. Booker must go crazy, but he was tepid in the first half, and his desire to attack was not strong. He only scored 9 points.

For this score, if it was Claude, even if he scored the whole game, he would still be qualified.

But for Booker, this is a failure.

Listening to the head coach's teachings, Booker nodded from time to time, vowing to give the Lakers a good look in the second half and beat Rivers.

TNT celebrity is also analyzing the situation of the sun.

Both Barkley and Smith are positioned on Booker.

O'Neill believes that the problem lies with Ayton.

Ayton also scored 9 points, but as a center, what the team needs most is his defense, not scoring.

Ayton's defense obviously did not meet O'Neal's expectations, not even half.

It's not that Ayton is not good, but that O'Neal is too demanding.

In terms of defense, there are almost no centers in the league that he likes, including Gobert, the three-time best defensive player.

Before that, Gobert had a war of words with O'Neal on the Internet. Whether online or offline, he was not O'Neal's opponent at all.

Facing Gobert, O'Neal's IQ and EQ were crushed, as were his skills and eloquence, and his status and reputation in the league were also crushed.

Gobert was beaten to no backhand, like a time machine on the court.

Yang Yi and Wang Meng were also analyzing. The Lakers won by three points, but they were a little upset. They could only implicitly criticize Vogel for not using Meng Hua's strength.

There is one thing to say, Vogel used Meng Hua as a feint throughout the quarter, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.

But after making the tactic of letting Meng Hua feint, James showed his state on the court, taking whatever he wanted.

At this time, it is impossible for Vogel to adjust his tactics. He hopes that James can do a more balanced job, but James insists on firmly implementing his strategy.

After James's madness, thick eyebrows took over the scepter and continued to show off.

The score is not behind, Vogel has no reason to adjust his tactics first.
