Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 450 Three consecutive customers

The 2017 playoffs will also start in mid-April. There is still one month to go, and the Lakers still have 25 games to play. After winning the Mavericks last night, the Lakers lead the Spurs by one game.

The warriors in front are far ahead, and the powerful enemies behind are chasing all the way. Yuan Qingshan looked at the schedule and realized that the second half of this year is really difficult to play.

The Lakers rested in Los Angeles for another day, and then embarked on a road trip, the Nets, the Nuggets, the Hawks, and the Hawks, and the Nuggets and the Hawks were still back-to-back.

Before leaving for the Nets, Jeff Green asked the team for leave to go to the Cleveland Clinic for an examination. His heart was a little uncomfortable.

The Lakers management is aware of this hidden danger of injury. Jeff Green, who was the first third-generation Thunder junior, had heart surgery and almost failed to survive the operating table. This hidden danger has followed him over the years and has also had a great impact on his sports career.

Yuan Qingshan set off to visit Jeff Green in the apartment he rented in Los Angeles. Jeff Green did not expect Yuan Qingshan to come to see him. He has always positioned himself as a mercenary. He will play when he can contribute to the team.

The neighborhood of Jeff Green's apartment is very secluded, and the windows on the second floor are facing the back wall of a church, so there is no view.

Yuan Qingshan and Jeff Green chatted for half an hour in front of the window, facing the gray wall.

Jeff Green told Yuan Qingshan that he didn't have a sense of belonging. Yuan Qingshan advised him to adjust his mentality and accept the inspection well. He will be a Laker for a day and Zijin for a lifetime.

Jeff Green was moved.

After coming out of Jeff Green's house, Yuan Qingshan rushed directly to the airport to join the team.

This time they were going to fly to the away game on Sky-[-]. They had nothing to say all the way, and it was already dark when they arrived at the away game. They changed to the hotel bus and went directly to the hotel to check in.

Walton asked the players not to leave the hotel at night. Brooklyn has not been peaceful recently, and no one is allowed to go out and cause trouble.

According to the usual practice, the main players such as Yuan Qingshan and Paul George are treated in a single room. Yuan Qingshan really has nothing to do in the room, so he can only let Gakki teleport from Los Angeles.

Gakki and Yuan Qingshan had had a very long-lasting close contact the night before, and now the two met again in the ambiguous atmosphere of the hotel, and naturally they had to burn their passion again.

The game was to be played the next day. Walton called the players together during the day, borrowed a conference room from the hotel, and talked about tactics.

After the victory over the Dallas Mavericks, the players' self-confidence was high, and they all felt that they didn't need to put on the appearance of facing the enemy when they played against the Nets.

The Nets have been so bad this year. Lopez and Jeremy Lin are the leading stars, which shows how poor the depth of the lineup is.

In this game, Wharton did not overuse Korver. After all, it is a consecutive game. The veteran's physical fitness still needs to be preserved, and injuries must be avoided at the same time.

The Lakers won another big victory. Yuan Qingshan played 40 minutes and scored a triple-double of 37 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He beat LeBron James and got the best statistics of the day.

唐斯拿到23分12篮板4助攻，保罗乔治18分3助攻3篮板，穆雷14分7助攻5篮板。

That same night, the Spurs lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in an upset, giving the Lakers a two-game lead over the Spurs.

After the Lakers were interviewed, they rushed to Denver non-stop.

The Nuggets are like a dark horse this season. At the beginning of the game, no one paid attention to them. As a result, at the end of the season, people found that they could actually enter the playoffs.

In this team, Yuan Qingshan paid more attention to only one person, Nikolajokic.

Jokic was only selected in the second round in 2014. He didn't play well at the beginning, but who knows that he has ushered in a big explosion recently.

To be honest, Jokic's sudden enlightenment made Yuan Qingshan wonder if he had any secrets like himself.

The fans of the Nuggets are more enthusiastic than the Mavericks and the Nets. This is an encouragement for the home team, but it is uncomfortable for the visiting team. The whole game not only has to compete with the opponent, but also with the opponent's fans.

Everyone in the Nuggets seems to be quite cold, including Jokic, and he didn't mean to say hello to his opponent.

The head referee for this game has a clean personality, announcing the start of the game directly without delay.

Jokic and Whiteside scrambled for the ball, but Whiteside's body was stronger after all, he swiped lightly, and the ball fell into Murray's hands.

The first attack was carried out by the Lakers.

Murray went to the front court and handed the ball to Yuan Qingshan obediently, but Yuan Qingshan's desire to attack tonight was not so strong, so he found a chance to pass Paul George an open three-pointer.

It's a pity that George's hands haven't warmed up yet, he missed a three-pointer, and Jokic got the rebound.

For the Nuggets, Mudiay was in charge of dribbling the ball across half court. Yuan Qingshan was not in a hurry to press down. He wanted to preserve his strength tonight and wait and see what happened.

Mudiay hands the ball to Jokic, who stands high, holds the ball high, and watches his teammates' opportunities carefully.

Coach McMalone blew his whistle, and Gallinari ran quickly. As soon as the opportunity appeared, Jokic passed the ball, and Gallinari made a three-pointer.

Going in this time, Jokic got an assist.

The fans cheered enthusiastically. Jokic's passing is always so wonderful. He is like a tower with a full view of the picture. No matter which teammate has an opportunity, he will pass the ball as soon as possible.

Yuan Qingshan went through the Nuggets' ball just now in his mind, and then he had to sigh with emotion that Jokic's pass was better than most point guards.

Return to the head and the Lakers attack again.

Yuan Qingshan dribbled the ball across the half. Mudiay was a bit like Seth Curry of the Mavericks. He was too physically disadvantaged to guard Yuan Qingshan at all.

McMalone changed Gallinari to defend, which was in line with Wharton's wishes. He hoped that Yuan Qingshan could consume a wave of Gallinari's physical strength. The Nuggets don't have too many shooters. If Gallinari, the most stable, is exhausted, Jokic alone cannot turn over.

As long as Gallinari came to defend, Yuan Qingshan would attack by himself. After two rounds, McMalone had to whistle again, the Nuggets switched defenses, and Yuan Qingshan was returned to Mudiay.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets did not find a way to limit Yuan Qingshan. Yuan Qingshan played 9 minutes and scored 12 points and 4 assists.

The enthusiasm of the Nuggets fans was extinguished by Yuan Qingshan's shots one by one. Some fans thought that it would be great if Yuan Qingshan was in the Nuggets.

Jokic didn't play at the beginning of the second quarter. He was big and heavy, so he had to be sparing. McMalone didn't dare to overdraw Jokic because of a regular season.

Losing the central axis, the Nuggets were completely divided by the Lakers' defense and had to fight on their own.

However, the Lakers' individual defensive ability is also extremely strong. In the first 6 minutes of the second quarter, the Nuggets only scored 8 points and were beaten by the Lakers in a 20-8 spurt.
