Chapter 393. 394. Bad Start
Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Neptune faced up to Big McGee, a direct contest between two big centers.

McGee, who returned from injury, hesitated for half a second. The basketball was slapped back to the Thunder halftime by Neptune. Westbrook was fierce as soon as he came up, holding the ball against Yingge and going straight to the basket!

Instead of going up directly, it was distributed to Adams who was keeping up. The latter formed a singles McGee, using his tonnage advantage to arch inward, and successfully fouled during the confrontation.

Big McGee received a foul at the beginning of the game. He explained to the referee with a sad face, but to no avail.

Off the court, Walton folded his hands on his chest, expressionless.The center position is a short board, facing Adams is indeed a huge challenge.

Made two free throws, it looks like Adams is in good shape tonight.

The live camera was shown to Lin Feng on the bench, which surprised him.He was talking and laughing with his little brother Wagner, but the sudden camera made him quickly restrain his smile and focus on the court.

Hart attacked with the ball, and Lao Zhan continued to delegate power to play off the ball. He would not come out to control the ball unless it was a last resort.

Josh Hart, last year's "veteran" team, was selected as the most improved player. In addition to his stable three-point shooting, his defensive ability has also improved significantly from last season.

This has a lot to do with Lin Feng. When Rondo was not injured, the two often played together in the second team. Coupled with the communication during training, Hart learned a lot about defensive prediction from Lin Feng.

At the beginning of the season, Hart will be the first choice for opponents to break through, but now those defenders need to weigh their abilities when breaking through Hart.

On the court, Kuzma received the ball and lobbed it to McGee inside.A replica of the opening goal, Big McGee hit Adams with a post-up single.

Neptune resisted with his own body, and Westbrook next to him was eager to try, ready to attack at any time.

McGee dribbled the ball to adjust the rhythm, and then took advantage of his footsteps to turn around and enter the basket lightly!

Adams was left behind, but immediately followed up and fanned McGee's fingertips out of bounds!

After completing the block, Adams slapped himself on the chest, and the home fans naturally booed.

As the Lakers' record improved, Staples' home atmosphere got better and better. The King's guy Fox once admitted that he was afraid of playing here.

The Lakers played the ball in the frontcourt. Yingge dribbled twice to find the rhythm after receiving the ball. He was facing Paul George!
It looks vaguely like a strong dialogue between Durant and George.

Yingge turned over and made a jumper, and George almost hit his face, so the ball naturally missed.

During the counterattack of the Thunder, Westbrook completed a one-stop layup. This guy was so fast that Lin Feng thought he might not be able to catch up.

At the beginning, the scouts of the Lakers re-evaluated Lin Feng and came to the template conclusion that it was Westbrook.

But at this time, Lin Feng has not grown to Westbrook's level, and there is still a certain gap with that guy!
Speaking of advantages, it is that Lin Feng has the unique "three-second prediction" in the world.

The Thunder's two successful defenses allowed them to start 4-0, and the Lakers seemed to be in a confusion of weak offense.

With Kuzma's three-pointer, the Thunder counterattacked again.

This time Westbrook did not go it alone but controlled the rhythm. Grant, who moved to the front of the paint area, attracted two double-teams and then made a jumper to George who was plugged in.

Dunk with both hands and get two more points!

The start was 6-0, and the Lakers' offense and defense were all blown up after two days of rest.

Wharton called a timeout early. He believed that if he continued to develop, he would fall behind by more than [-] points in the first quarter.

In Lin Feng's eyes, this is a routine operation. The Lakers started slowly, but once they entered their rhythm, almost no team could stop them.

"LeBron, you need to attack, give them a blow!"

Walton's play is simple, pass the ball to LeBron, and that's what other players do.

He is now beginning to develop in the direction of an iron coach. Walton needs to control the locker room and establish authority, even if the team has the league's No. 1 LeBron James.

But Wharton will always be labeled as "rushuai", this is his style.

Lao Zhan nodded with his hands on his hips, "Give me the ball, guys, and I'll tear their defense apart."

The domineering old Zhan pointed to Hart, "Josh, you stand in the corner, and I will pass the ball if you have a chance. And the rest of you, be ready to shoot at any time."

Wharton further deployed their positions on the field. They have at least three end points, so scoring is not a problem, but they encountered a problem of tacit understanding after the opening.

Lin Feng stood behind and witnessed the whole process. It was not time for him to play, so his expression was very relaxed.

Rondo was in a suit, and he was talking with McGee alone, perhaps it was the exchange of experience between the centers.

Returning to the field again, it is obvious that the mental state of the Lakers is different.It can be seen from Kuzma's face that the guy always writes his emotions on his face.

The Thunder Twins also had grim faces. They knew that the game had just begun. The Lakers were not a team that could be easily defeated. They were the best players in the league playing against the wind.

Westbrook gave George a high-five expressionlessly, Adams defended the basket, and began to get stuck with McGee.

Yingge held the ball across the half, and Lao Zhan caught the ball at the top of the arc and faced Paul George.

Staples cheered everywhere, this is a direct contest between the ace small forwards of the two teams!

Needless to say, all the Lakers bench stood up to create momentum for the team leader.

After receiving the ball, Lao Zhan habitually bent over to waste time, and did not start dribbling until the last ten seconds.

Everyone pulled out to the outside line, giving way to the open space under the basket.

"What do you think he will choose?" Finsen asked.

Lin Feng rubbed his forehead, "Three-pointers, this guy knows how to shoot three-pointers. After all, he is 34 years old, so it is impossible to use up his strength at the beginning of the game."

As soon as the words fell, LeBron took two steps back and took a breakthrough on the right!

George, who couldn't compete with his physique, could only raise one hand and follow into the basket.

Without any fancy moves, Lao Zhan carried George on his head and slapped his right hand on his head!

The audience was boiling, and the big central screen showed George's helpless face.LeBron had almost no extra movements, and directly used his body to crush in and dunk.

Lin Feng and Finsen, who thought he could shoot long three-pointers, smiled at each other.

"Don't try to understand that old guy, he always thinks he's 18 years old." Finsen shook his head.

Westbrook comforted his companions, it was just a ball.

2-6, the Lakers relied on Lao Zhan's dunk to get the first point of the game.

Walton on the sidelines showed a smile, this is the joy of being No.1 in the league.

Thunder coach Donovan didn't say anything, he believed in the ability of his players.

The game continued, George dribbled the ball on the left half of the court, and the audience booed.

Lin Feng couldn't imagine that if one day he returned to Staples as a visiting team player, it would be difficult for him to concentrate on such a situation.

But George seems to have been used to this kind of scene, from the Pacers to the Thunder, I am afraid that the boos received in Indiana are not much smaller than here.
