Chapter 567. Chapter 567. "Bald Mamba" Caruso
As Harden missed a long three-pointer, the Rockets completely gave up the game.

D'Antoni called a timeout and replaced all starters.

At this time, there is still one and a half minutes before the end of the game, and the Lakers lead by [-] points.

Wharton also tacitly replaced the third point guard Caruso and Wagner and other young players to end the game.

After the All-Star Game, the Lakers had a surprise victory, and their opponent was the Houston Rockets, which means that their four kills this season made the Houstonians feel what despair is.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 121-103, and the Lakers continued to consolidate their top position.Thirteen consecutive victories, which also created the team's longest winning streak in the past ten years.

After that, the team will fly non-stop to New Orleans to play a home and away game against a team with Anthony Davis, with an away game against the Grizzlies.

Both opponents are playoff teams, but this is the situation where it is easy for the team to relax too much and lose the game.

In the first game against the Pelicans, LeBron was absent due to injury. This is the first time he has missed a game this season.

Stephenson was transferred to the starting lineup to replace Lao Zhan, perhaps because he was used to playing as a substitute. In this game, Finsen was completely out of shape and made frequent mistakes in the matchup with Holiday.

This also kept the Lakers passively beaten in the first half.Thick eyebrows show great power, one man guards the gate, invincible, and he plays well at the basket.

Lin Feng still led the bench lineup, but they encountered the slam dunk contest runner-up Diallo's sniper.

That kid has been in hot form since he came back from Charlotte, and the direct confrontation between the two slam dunk contest champions and runners-up has become one of the highlights of tonight.

Lin Feng is naturally in a crushing state, but the team still showed flaws when Lao Zhan was not on the court.

Pelicans No. 15 leader Holiday scored 5+18 at halftime, and his thick eyebrows were 12+[-], getting a double-double early.

For the Lakers, Lin Feng made his appearance at the end of the first quarter and scored 12 points from inside and outside shots, among which he got a big hat from thick eyebrows.

That guy is almost invincible at the basket, and McGee Howard can't stop him taking turns.

In the second half, Walton's change of formation didn't help. With Holiday's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Pelicans led by 16 points. In the end, the Lakers lost to the lottery-ranked New Orleans team away.

The unexpected end of the [-]-game winning streak in the Western Conference made the home fans cheer.

Lao Zhan, who was in a suit, accompanied the team to supervise the battle, and he could only swallow the bitter fruit of away defeat.

There is no doubt about the dominance of thick eyebrows at the basket. He scored a large double-double with 35 points and 18 rebounds.This guy was excited when he met the Lakers. He scored high in the first two games.

I don't know if this is the way to tell the Lakers' management that with me, you can ensure the championship!

Exchange of small change, sometimes there will be surprises.

Returning from New Orleans, the Lakers will fly to Memphis non-stop. Their opponents, the Grizzlies, are ranked second to last in the West. They have the meaning of competing for the "Zion Cup", but the Grizzlies have always been tough, even though Randolph is old. , Teacher Tony's retirement is no exception.

A few years ago, the Grizzlies were one of the teams that Western Conference teams least wanted to meet in the playoffs. Although they had no hope of winning the championship, they would inevitably lose a layer of skin when they met.

On the night of arriving in Memphis, Lao Pa brought good news that Anta Group's advertisement for "Saints" is basically ready, and it only needs to choose an auspicious day to start shooting.

It will be at least two weeks later, the recent schedule is very dense, and the time is tight.

Lao Zhan missed the second game. According to the management, he will rest for three rounds until he returns to the Milwaukee Bucks at home.

For the 34-year-old, taking this opportunity to rest for three games is also a good thing, even if the team loses all.

After all, it doesn't make much sense to rank first or second in the Western Conference. The most important thing is to keep everyone healthy.

In the away game against the Grizzlies, the Memphis people explained why they were called the "Grizzlies" very well. The perimeter defender Avery Bradley led the defense of Lin Feng and caused him a lot of trouble.

The two were once at war due to excessive defensive moves. They did restrain Lin Feng in the first half, but after the easy side battle, he figured out the routines of these guys, like a runaway horse, frequently used breakthroughs to kill insiders .

Valanciunas, who was transferred from the Raptors, was forced to rest because of four fouls.

And Bradley and Delon Wright, who were marking him, also began to show signs of decline.

Lin Feng used the cover of the big center to break through the basket at the top of the arc, making the Grizzlies' backup center Joakim Noah helpless.

It is worth mentioning that Parsons, the "tall, rich and handsome" of the league, made his debut tonight, holding a high contract of 2400 million US dollars, lingering among beautiful women every day, and his life is enviable.

Parsons made one of seven three-pointers. It was his "excellent performance" that opened up the situation for the Lakers, and a wave of flow took the game away in the third quarter.

I don't know what the purpose of the Grizzlies coach is. Knowing that Parsons is inefficient and let him play for 19 minutes, Japanese teenager Yuta Watanabe can only sit on the bench.

Moreover, Valanciunas, who played well, was put on the bench, and Noah, who had old arms and legs, was put on the court to top the inside line.

Luke Walton on the sidelines smiled. Both sides knew that the Grizzlies probably found that they were about to win the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference.

Finsen is probably the most skeptical player on the field. Two days ago, he was defended by Holiday in New Orleans, and he was suspicious of his life. Now he flew to Memphis, and another Holiday appeared, and he was also very strong.

What's more terrible is that he will face Holiday when he returns home after this game.

Finsen on the bench was expressionless, and continued to start at the third position tonight, still unable to escape "Holiday's fate".

Fortunately, the Grizzlies "protected themselves wisely" and suddenly collapsed in the second half, allowing the Lakers to play a 22-6 offensive wave and successfully accept the game.

Lin Feng thinks this is a wake-up call for the team that they need to find a better way to attack without LeBron.

In the past, Lin Feng himself played the role of the terminator, but now he has to stand up and share Rondo's organizational responsibilities.

To the comfort of Lakers fans, Caruso has become the highlight of the last two games. Since entering the rotation, he has averaged one dunk per game, and it is a particularly fierce one.

With a bald head and a not very strong body, it is easy for people to think of a programmer, but it is such a guy who has shown good perimeter defense and physical fitness.

In the past two games, Caruso has been second only to Lin Feng in the team's defensive efficiency inside and outside.This makes the coaching staff very happy, maybe they have begun to think about adding him to the regular rotation.

Lin Feng can play from the No. [-] position to the No. [-] position, and even play as a power forward. As a swingman, he is very likely to win the Rookie of the Year and be named the Best Sixth Man.

In short, Caruso became a windfall after Lao Zhan was injured.
