Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 452 Am I So Tall and Powerful?

At the end of the game, the Lakers won another victory.

The Lakers coaching staff was not too optimistic about the recent three-game winning streak at the beginning. They thought they could win the Nets and the Hawks.

The Eagles are not in very good shape, otherwise they would not have replaced Korver.

Trading away veterans who can contribute in the playoffs is a bit of a mess.

The Lakers flew directly from Denver to Atlanta. The players seized the time to rest on the plane. Yuan Qingshan was next to Murray, and Towns sat next to Whiteside.

The plane passed through the clouds and flew in the vast night sky, the wind was cold outside the window, and the cabin was quiet, except for Downs' slight snoring.

Atlanta is one of the centers of the American civil rights movement and the hometown of Martin Luther King, the leader of the civil rights movement.Opposite the Civil Rights Movement Museum in the southern part of the city is the Martin Luther King Memorial, which is a place Yuan Qingshan has always wanted to visit.

It's a pity that I can't go this time. Tomorrow night's game starts at 7 o'clock. He is too tired from back-to-back away games. He needs to take a good rest.

Yuan Qingshan was lying in the hotel, hesitating whether to exchange for a recovery potion from the system, but after thinking about it later, he decided to forget it, he wanted to reduce his dependence on the system.

In faraway Atlanta, Yuan Qingshan couldn't help calling gakki again.

When gakki appeared in the room, she was taken aback and asked Yuan Qingshan with wide eyes: "Master, isn't there a game tomorrow night? Do you still want..."

Yuan Qingshan said: "Where do you want to go, I just want you to accompany me."

Gakki smiled knowingly, and gently slipped into Yuan Qingshan's arms.

The next day, Atlanta was sunny.

The Lakers team went to the arena to train in advance, adapt to the venue, and warm up by the way.

Yuan Qingshan felt a little strange that no one from the Eagles came to train, and he asked Korver why.

Korver said that the Eagles have no energy now, and their energy has been broken by LeBron. This season, they only want to show off, hoping to get a high-level signing.

Yuan Qingshan expressed his understanding, saying that the competition in the west is fierce, but with LeBron in the east, it has basically cut off the way for other teams to enter the finals.

Yuan Qingshan asked Korver to take him around the arena. Phillips Arena is an irregular building, half of which is made of beige concrete and half of which is all glass. It looks very technological.

Korver told Yuan Qingshan some of his experience with the Eagles.

In 2011, the Hawks had four people who made the All-Star at the same time, center Al Horford, power forward Paul Millsap, point guard Jeff Teague and shooting guard Kyle Korver.

That year, the Eagles ranked first in the Eastern Conference with team basketball. People once thought that the Eastern Conference was about to change, but they were still defeated by LeBron James in the playoffs.

Since then, the Eagles have lost their souls, and the core players have also fallen apart. Only Paul Millsap was left as a four-star star, and his helpers were replaced by Bazemore and Dennis Schroder.

"Schroder may face you tonight." Korver guessed.

Yuan Qingshan was very interested in another matter: "What's the matter with the yellow hair on Schroeder's head?"

Korver: "Dyeing, it can't be a genetic mutation, haha."

Cold, Korver's rare joke was very cold, Yuan Qingshan had to smile perfunctorily.

Yuan Qingshan said: "Okay, tell me about him. My impression of him before was only that bunch of yellow hair."

Korver thought for a while and replied: "Constrained by his thin body and lack of stealing skills, although Schroeder has been working hard to defend subjectively, he has not performed well. Many teams create tactical dislocations to single him, which makes him very distressed."

Yuan Qingshan: "So I want to get a high score tonight?"

Korver smiled: "You should get the highest score in the season. When you play Schroeder, you have a misplaced halo."

Yuan Qingshan: "Am I so tall and mighty?"

Korver: "Not to mention strength, even in terms of speed, he can't compare to you."

Yuan Qingshan was surprised: "Hey, he is your old teammate, is it really good to sell teammates like this?"

Korver: "Who told him not to pay back the money he owes me?"

"Haha!" This time Yuan Qingshan was amused from the bottom of his heart.

The day is fleeting, and at 7 pm, the game starts on time.

The Lakers still have the old lineup: Whiteside, Towns, Paul George, Murray, Yuan Qingshan.

The Eagles are: Millsap, Ilyasova, Sefolosha, Bazemore, Schroeder.

Commentary seat.

Mark Jackson: "Jeff, I have a question."

Van Gundy adjusted Mike: "What?"

Mark Jackson: "Didn't the Lakers game be contracted by O'Neal and Barkley? Why did TNT arrange for us to explain tonight?"

Van Gundy: "Let's accept it when it's good, old partner, we also have to show up occasionally with the strong team."

Mark Jackson: "Excuse me, let's talk about this game. Do you think the Eagles have a chance to win?"

Van Gundy: "The Lakers have played two consecutive away games. They were still in Denver yesterday. The only reason for the Eagles to win is that the Lakers' fitness has declined too much."

Mark Jackson: "Looking at their starting lineup, the only thing I worry about is Murray. His physical fitness is slightly worse than that of his predecessors."

Van Gundy nodded: "Murray is a rookie, and he's not known for his durability, but don't forget, even if Murray's playing time is under control, the Lakers still have Kyle Korver, who was just traded from the Eagles."

Mark Jackson: "Yes, look at my brain, how can I forget this guy, how will he perform against the old owner Korver, we will wait and see."

Beep, the whistle sounded.

Whiteside and Millsap came to the middle circle.

"Are you ready?" the referee asked.

The two nodded at the same time, bent their knees, and got ready for the ball.

Whoosh, the basketball was thrown into the air, and the two jumped at the same time, but Millsap's speed was significantly slower than Whiteside's.

Yuan Qingshan successfully received the ball and quickly crossed the center line.

Sure enough, Schroeder is here to defend the Eagles.

Mark Jackson watched and shook his head: "Coach Budenholzer of the Eagles actually asked Schroeder to defend Yuan Qingshan, which is tantamount to sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth."

Van Gundy felt the same way, but thinking about it, the Eagles were also in a dilemma. They couldn't find a suitable candidate in the formation. It stands to reason that Sefolosha's individual defense ability is quite strong, but compared with Yuan Qingshan, his speed is too slow, and he will definitely be wiped out by others.

Moreover, you can't just leave Paul George empty in order to defend Yuan Qingshan. If Paul George is ruthless, he can kill people!
