Chapter 519 520. Shining on the East Coast

After the extra penalty hit, the Lakers have led the Celtics by 13 points.

It got bigger and bigger, but the Celtics didn't improve, and Stevens also had a headache.

Their offense still depends on Irving, but Irving has been entangled by the in-form Lin Feng and cannot escape.

Even if he receives the ball, he can't find a good way to attack, and can only rely on constant high screens to find shots.

Another strike!Big McGee gets the rebound.

Lao Zhan held the ball and counterattacked to the frontcourt. Lin Feng made a one-stop layup in the middle and scored two points!

After a timeout, Stevens' team has reached the brink of collapse, and neither offense nor defense can form a system.

Daniel Theis replaced the busy Horford, and his cousin Hayward replaced Tatum.

In fact, Tatum played well tonight. I don't know if the reason for being replaced has something to do with the bombardment of Irving.

In the rematch, Irving was almost intercepted by Lin Feng when he received the serve!
Rozier's casual pass gave Lin Feng enough time to predict the landing. If the arm was two centimeters longer, it would be another steal and counterattack.

Owen took advantage of him not standing up, holding the basketball and going to the basket to kill, and finally met Yingge with long arms. This time Yingge stood still and was not pushed away.

The ball was stopped in the paint area, and Irving had to hit back to Hayward at the top of the arc.

Hayward broke through the middle and encountered a double-team, and then distributed it to Theis, who was pulled to the outside. This guy has a good hand, and he can raise his hand, helping the Greens break the scoring shortage.

The home fans were facing collapse, and it was the substitute Daniel Theis who saved the team at the critical moment.

If it weren't for Aaron Baynes' left foot contusion, this guy basically wouldn't get a chance to play.

The 27-year-old Theis and the Lakers guy Wagner are fellow villagers. The two met in the national team and have a good relationship.

It's just that with Howard joining the team, Wagner's chances to play were few and far between, and he was ranked at the bottom of the fifth position, completely becoming a drinking fountain administrator.

However, this does not prevent him from being the most dynamic person on the Lakers bench, leading the team in double digits in the number of waving towels and high-fives with his teammates every game.

This three-pointer by Theis did not attract Wharton's attention, because although he has a certain shooting ability, he has very few outside shots this season and cannot be used as an observation sample.

But don't ignore every NBA player, even one who can't play a role like Theis.

The Lakers didn't have an offense on this side, and the top of the arc on the other side was emptied, and he raised his hand and made another clean three-pointer!

This guy scored six points in a row and forced the point difference to single digits.

Walton realized his carelessness, and immediately asked the players on the field to defend Tays with all their strength, and could not give him any chance to shoot.

The Lakers fell into a brief misfire stage, and even Lin Feng lost his aim.

There is Tays again, he dunks to the basket after receiving a ground pass from Irving!
Three offensive rounds scored eight points in a row, and the point difference instantly reached seven points!
Some Celtics fans didn't even realize what was going on, and their team was about to catch up with the point difference.

Tays was treated like a hero on the bench of the Celtics. In contrast, Irving looked a lot lonely, sitting on a chair drinking water alone, and only the veteran Wanamaker, who was unable to play, struck up a few words with him.

For the Lakers, Walton immediately made a tactical deployment, the whole team played zone defense, blocked the opponent's outside shooting opportunities, and put the opponent into the inside basket as much as possible.

McGee, Beasley and Lao Zhan, their average height has an advantage over the Celtics' lineup.

They also have Lin Feng who can block shots regardless of height difference, everything is not a problem.

Back in the game, they played a set of simple pass and cut cooperation, and Lao Zhan assisted Yingge to score a layup.

Changing offense, Tays, wearing No. 27 of the Green Army, is particularly active, and he has the meaning of acting as the team's main attacker.

Irving is also happy to hit the ball to his side, forming a 1V1 fifth-position singles under the basket.

In a state of excitement, Theis obviously forgot that the Lakers are the best defensive team in the league. His layup was slapped by Big McGee, which made him calm down a little.

At 3 minutes and 15 seconds, the Lakers are still leading by double digits, and the two teams are attacking and defending each other.

Lin Feng scored the 26th point of the game. He scored 8 points in the third quarter to help the team continue to lead!

Lao Zhan played the role of a "good teacher and helpful friend". Before the end of the three quarters, he had sent 10 assists and was two rebounds away from completing a triple-double.

After entering 2019, the 34-year-old Zhan has changed his style of play, connecting teams more often to create opportunities for his teammates instead of adopting a singles mode that is prone to injury.

This will undoubtedly prolong his career and reduce the probability of injury, which is a win-win for himself and the team.

In this way, Lin Feng played the role of finisher more time, and he and Yingge became the two players with the highest finishing efficiency of the Lakers.

Entering the new year, Yingge's average per game has also risen, with the score soaring from 18.3 to 21.7.

Lin Feng's scoring average also rose to 25.2 points, ranking No.11 in the league, behind Leonard.

The game entered the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, and Lin Feng once again penetrated the central axis of the Celtics, pulling the ball up under the iron-blooded defense of Tays.

86-71, the point difference returned to 15 points.

After two rounds, Lin Feng, who scored [-] points, took a rest to gather energy for the fourth quarter.

As early as two rounds ago, Stevens on the opposite side had withdrawn Irving.Judging from the first three quarters, "Uncle Drew" drove high and low, and his shooting percentage plummeted. He has only scored 15 points so far, of which free throws accounted for 6 points, which is less than half of Lin Feng who came up to match him from the bench.

The two sides replaced the rotation lineup, and Rondo led the second team to play the last few minutes.

Lao Zhan looked relaxed, enjoying the boos of the North Shore Garden Arena, and told Lin Feng that the boos would be very pleasant if he listened carefully.

Stars who are used to big scenes are different. Lin Feng hasn't cultivated to such a level, but he can temporarily block out these noises.

The home fans who chanted "Kill Los Angeles" also seemed to be a little discouraged, their team was completely suppressed on the field.

Perhaps since Smart was expelled, the game has ended.

As Hart hit an outside three-pointer, the timer was all red, and the Lakers continued to lead after the end of the third quarter.

They're going into the fourth quarter with a 15-point lead, which should be a good start.Because Wharton does not intend to replace several important players such as Lin Feng and Lao Zhan too early.

Only when you have money in your pocket can you not panic on the surface. In contrast, Stevens is really anxious. After Irving's misfire, the whole team fell into a downturn. Only role player Daniel Theis flashed a few rounds and let the Celtics People are still hanging on, so they won't be completely beaten.

Lin Feng was very relaxed. He scored 6 points. Although the number of assists stopped at [-] and it was difficult to complete a triple-double, he preferred to focus on scoring.

After all, assisting now is the private work of the thirty-year-old man and Long's guidance.
