Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 465

Rivers had no choice but to keep hypnotizing himself before the start of the second half, to build up his mind, as if he could find the Lakers' flaws as soon as the game opened.

Cheerleaders and actors warmed up, and the Staples Center has been very lively. Players from both sides walked into the field, and the cheers received by the Lakers were obviously higher.

Beverly completed the task assigned to him by Wharton very well in the first half, but he was also tortured enough. How could Paul be so easy to defend?

Yuan Qingshan walked with Beverly at the end of the line, he patted Beverly on the shoulder and asked, "How about it, can I help you in the second half?"

Beverly shook his head: "Don't look down on people, I will fight Chris to the last moment."

"Good job!" Yuan Qingshan felt that Beverly's attitude was very worthy of encouragement.

Beverly is the kind of personality that you can praise him, he can be happy all day, and he starts to chatter, looking high-spirited.

The whistle blew and the second half began.

The Lakers sent the strongest lineup, and the fans looked up at the big screen and cheered.

Rivers' heart is cold, and each of the five positions of the Lakers looks extremely difficult to deal with.

Yuan Qingshan and Paul have their own strengths and weaknesses. In terms of controlling the rhythm, Yuan Qingshan is less experienced than Paul, but in terms of personal attack, Yuan Qingshan has a stronger desire to attack than Paul.

Murray and JJ Redick, Redick's off-ball ability is at the top level, but Murray is better than him in other aspects, especially individual defense.

Paul George and Mbah a Moute, the results of the comparison are self-evident, Paul George crushed in all directions.

Towns is against Ryan Anderson, just like the small forward position, Towns crushes.

Whiteside and Jr. Jordan, in this group of comparisons, Jr. Jordan's defensive ability and rebounding ability are stronger than Whiteside who has just played his worth, but neither of them is a player with strong independent offense, which is slightly equal to none.

Rivers was worried, thinking over and over again, but couldn't think of a way to crack it anyway.

The only hope is that Paul can activate Jordan and win the Lakers through the cooperation of pancake master and pie eater.

The problem is, how can Jordan have such a big belly? There is no precedent for winning a game by eating cakes.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers were led by Yuan Qingshan. He raised the offensive tempo without hesitation. Four seconds after halftime, he aimed at Towns' position and raised his hand to make a high pass.

Towns catches and shoots, and Ryan Anderson has nothing to do with him, he can only watch him make the ball.

The ball was in the basket, Towns turned around gracefully, and raised his arms towards the golden piece in the auditorium. Of course, the Lakers fans responded immediately, and the Staples Center once again set off a frenzy.

Paul grabbed Ryan Anderson's skirt: "You have to stick to him, OK?"

Ryan Anderson nodded frequently.

Under the command of Paul, the Clippers scored a two-pointer in 22 seconds.

After returning, Yuan Qingshan handed the ball to Towns again. Towns ignored Ryan Anderson's defense and hit another long two-pointer.

Extremely chic!

"See it, see it, this is Karl-Anthony Towns' power!" Towns kept talking to the reporters on the sidelines.

Wharton yelled anxiously: "Stop showing off, go defend!"

Yuan Qingshan felt that it was nothing. Downs had been recuperating for nearly a month due to illness, and it was time for him to find confidence.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Lakers made substitutions and the second team played, Beverly, Korver, Nick Young, Channing Frye, Thackeray.

This lineup is full of offensive power. If it weren't for Jeff Green's inability to play due to injury, he could completely beat those tank teams.

The depth of the Clippers' lineup is a lot worse, and Rivers can't come up with a way to deal with it even if he wants to break his head.

No way, he can only keep Paul on the court.

It's a pity that it doesn't work much. The point guards in the second team are enough for Paul to drink a pot.

Walton's frequent substitutions caused O'Neal to be surprised again and again: "What's wrong with Walton? The main time was compressed in the first half, and a collective rotation was made in the second half. Didn't he pay too much attention to the first round? This is not very good."

Mark Jackson nodded: "The Lakers' formation today is indeed a bit chaotic. The coaching staff's thinking changed from time to time. It is estimated that they had a serious discussion during the intermission, and then overturned the first half arrangement."

O'Neill said: "Wharton Jr. is whimsical again."

Mark Jackson didn't speak up. When O'Neal was in charge of the league, Walton Jr. was still on the bench. Of course O'Neal has the qualifications to say that.

Walton Jr. is whimsical, but the Lakers have widened the point difference to 17 points. Rivers opened his mouth slightly and shook his head iconically.

When the game came to the fourth quarter, Paul began to fight alone, hitting Beverly three times in a row, the first two scored, and the third was fouled hard by Beverly.

Paul gritted his teeth and walked to the free throw line, and there were bursts of pain in his right elbow. Beverley was really merciless just now.

The first penalty was missed.

The fans let out cries of disappointment.

Second free throw, hit.

Paul walked back to the backcourt with small steps, the Lakers Channing Frye served from the bottom line, and Beverly got the ball and rushed to the Clippers backcourt with a sullen head.

Rivers prayed in his heart, Paul, don't go up and resist, if you hurt us, we won't have to fight in the next game.

As if hearing Rivers' voice, Paul skillfully avoided Beverly's edge, and then reached out to take the ball away the moment he dribbled the ball past him.

The Clippers launched a fast break, Paul flicked the ball forward, and Ryan Anderson finally made it once and made the second three-pointer of the game.

Point difference: 13.

Wharton called a timeout, and there were still 6 minutes before the end of the game. He felt unstable now, so he replaced Yuan Qingshan and Paul George on the field again.

The Lakers had the ball. After halftime, Yuan Qingshan wanted to pass the ball to Nick Young, but Paul predicted it in advance and snatched the ball from Nick Young's arms.

In a blink of an eye, Paul scored two steals. This time he did not pass to his teammates, but made a three-step basket by himself.

The score difference is 11.

Wharton's expression gradually became serious. He looked at the scoreboard and at the players on the field. He became nervous for no reason. Could it be possible that there will be a difference in a game that is sure to be sure?

The ball changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Channing Frye served from the bottom line, and Yuan Qingshan immediately increased his speed after receiving the ball, like a sharp knife piercing the Clippers' abdomen.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers started Yuan Qingshan's offensive performance.

Whether Paul or JJ Redick came to defend, they couldn't stop Yuan Qingshan from getting serious.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the Lakers won the first game without any risk, 98 to 83, and the point difference was finally fixed at 15 points.

Hearing the cheers from the audience, he should be excited, but Wharton just wants to lie on the floor and sleep now, he feels too tired.
