Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 193 Record Company Plan
The Lakers relied on Kobe's three-pointers to keep the point difference within five points.

Stotts was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first quarter: "Did you only score 35 points against a team like the Lakers?"

The players didn't say anything, and the main players were sweating profusely. This kind of high-intensity offensive battle was the most exhausting.

"It's hateful that you let the Lakers score nearly 30 points. I really doubt that the Lakers team with O'Neal is playing tonight. Otherwise, how can you explain your incompetence on the defensive end?"

Stotts' words became more and more ugly, and several substitutes quietly observed Lillard's face.

Lillard raised his head and took a sip of his drink: "Attack, attack, must attack!"

Stotts nodded in satisfaction. His above remarks were not sincere. It would be too little to score 35 points in one quarter. He just wanted to arouse Lillard's fighting spirit in advance.

"What do you say?" Stotts turned his gaze to No. [-] star McCollum.

McCollum's temper is a little more stable than Lillard's, but he's already blushing.

"Okay, the timeout is up, go ahead and give them a good beating!" The coach slapped each player's buttocks.

A group of Blazers boys yelled and yelled to get back on the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, they still followed the opening tactic, trying to hand the ball to the backcourt double guns. Needless to say, Lillard, who felt hot, scored two more three-pointers. Even McCollum, after a quarter of time, had adapted to Kobe's defense and began to play the breakthrough throwing shot he was best at.

A few minutes later, the point difference was widened. Coach Scott scratched his head a little. The Blazers' shooting percentage did not drop as expected.

Why are these little guys so accurate tonight?

After Lillard scored another three-pointer, Scott called a timeout. This is Lillard's fourth three-pointer. You know, there is still more than half of the second quarter.

"Qingshan, can you hold on?" Coach Scott asked.

Yuan Qingshan didn't know how to answer. Physically speaking, there was no problem, and he was gradually adapting to Lillard's rhythm, but the feeling of helplessness facing Lillard did not decrease at all.

Lillard is a brand new challenge that Yuan Qingshan encountered after entering the league. He is different from Wall, Westbrook, and Irving.

You clearly knew that he was going to take a few shots, and the blockers were in place. They should not have been scored, but for some reason, they all went in.

"This guy's shooting percentage doesn't seem to be disturbed by the defense at all." Yuan Qingshan thought for a while and said helplessly.

Scott and Kobe nodded at the same time. Lillard is the kind of player who is good at playing fairy balls.

"Let me defend him." Kobe wiped his sweat, defending McCollum was enough for the veteran.

Coach Scott hesitated, Kobe's physical strength was impossible to keep an eye on Lillard for the entire game.

"There is no need to change the defense. Next, we will try to slow down the rhythm. Towns, it's time for you to play!"

Downs patted his thigh: "Coach, I'm just waiting for your words, but I'm so suffocated, let's see mine next!"

Back from the timeout, both Kobe and Yuan Qingshan were left on the bench, and they needed a good rest.

As soon as the Lakers came up and dug two inside lines, Plumlee was tall and powerful, and Whiteside was very uncomfortable to be defended by him. He gave up after trying two shots without shooting, and concentrated his offense on Towns.

Towns is going to face Aminu, a player with good height, wingspan and mobility in the paint, but tonight he is facing the No. [-] pick with explosive talent.

"The two little guys on your team are too arrogant, and it's the turn of this genius to perform!" Towns said to Aminu holding the ball.

Aminu was expressionless.

"Hey, didn't you hear me?" Downs was very dissatisfied with his dumb reaction.

"Ah? What did you just say?" It turned out that Aminu was too nervous to hear what Downs was talking about.

"Damn it, cheer me up, otherwise what's the point of me fighting?"

Downs roared, attacking in different ways, chasing back with 2 points, 2 points, and finally slowed down the rhythm of the game a little.

The Blazers replaced McCollum here, and his physical fitness is still slightly worse than Lillard Derby. After all, he was not a starter last season.

Lillard didn't like this kind of positional warfare very much. During an offensive break, he walked to the sidelines and complained to the coach: "Can't you speed up? It's like two iron balls are tied to my feet."

Stotts shook his head helplessly. He looked back at the bench. McCollum hadn't rested enough, and there were no more players in the lineup who were good at shooting.

The team has entered a regular interval. After all, no one can be crazy from the first second to the last second, of course, except for the Oklahoma guy.

Lillard tried to sort out the offense in the positional battle. Unfortunately, after entering the rotation, the success rate of others except him was too low. Plumlee and Aminu were completely locked by the Lakers Twin Towers.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers simply replaced Lillard. He averaged about 35 points per game, and the second half of the second quarter was his usual rest time.

"I didn't expect the Lakers to be quite difficult." McCollum handed Lillard a bottle of drink.

Lillard took it and took a sip: "It's nothing difficult to play, just keep shooting them to death in the second half."

McCollum opened his mouth in embarrassment. The Blazers shot almost 60% in the first half. Who gave Lillard such confidence?
During the intermission, Coach Scott tried his best to cheer up the players. Teams like the Trail Blazers rely on the indiscriminate bombing at the beginning. As long as they can survive, they can overtake when their shooting percentage drops. It is impossible for their shooting percentage to remain above 60% throughout the game.

The Lakers players shouted slogans to cheer them up. In fact, the team's confidence was recovered in the second half of the second quarter. The Blazers had no advantage in playing positional warfare.

During halftime, the Trail Blazers held a special event. The team even organized a small CD signing event for Lillard at the Moda Center.

The team management is also very satisfied. It seems that they are one step closer to keeping the new generation star whose contract has expired in Portland.

When the Lakers players returned to the field, the signing meeting had just ended. Towns asked a girl holding a CD if she was a fan or a fan. The girl proudly said that I am a Lillard fan!
"It's great to have fans. Should I release an album?" Downs rubbed his chin.

Nick Young said: "You should ask Artest about this, he has released an album."

Towns really discussed with Artest, and Artest talked about his music journey with pride.

Yuan Qingshan listened with great interest, and suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Gakki, do you think I should open another record company?"
