Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 561 This lineup is weird
auditorium.

"Coach, it was really dangerous just now. Kyrie Irving is just a little bit away from Murray's fingertips. As long as he is half a second later, Irving can interfere with Murray's shooting."

Tony Parker expresses his judgment to the coach, which is a habit within the Spurs. Whether watching the game live or watching a video, the players can exchange ideas with the coach at any time.

Popovich scratched his chin and said: "After the pick-and-roll, Bradley is farther away from Murray than Kyrie, so if you want to defend, it must be Kyrie."

Tony Parker: "It seems to be like this. From Yuan Qingshan and Murray's pick-and-roll, the positions of Kyrie and Bradley are determined."

"So!" Popovich's brain was spinning at high speed, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed: "Yuan Qingshan did it on purpose, and his purpose was to consume Kyrie Irving! Breaking pick-and-rolls and replenishing defenses, Kyrie Irving consumed a lot this round."

Danny Green, who was one seat away, murmured: "Consume Kyrie Irving? Isn't Yuan Qingshan's impact on him enough? The Lakers are going to let Murray join in?"

Popovich looked at Yuan Qingshan again and his eyes became deeper: "Listen to me, this is basketball. If we were to fight against the Cavaliers now, you should do the same. Grab the opponent's weakness and hit me hard, to the death!"

Tony Parker, Danny Green: "Got it, Coach!"

A little further away, Leonard, the fourth member of the Spurs spectator team, remained silent with a blank expression.

To be honest, he is not interested in these theories of the coach at all, because his attention has always been on LeBron James.

Half of the coach's words fell into his ears, "If we were to fight against the Cavaliers now", this assumption made Leonard's mind full of the situation of himself and LeBron James.

The simulated scenarios in his head became more and more intense, and Leonard's expression became more and more numb, and now he looked like a robot without facial expression programming.

Halfway through the second quarter, the two sides began to make frequent substitutions. The main players left the court to rest one after another, and the second team was replaced.

Lakers coach Wharton confidently came up with a full set of bench lineup: PG Beverly, SG Korver, SF Nick Young, PF Jeff Green, C Channing Frye.

O'Neal looked at the roster and then at the field: "The Lakers have a weird lineup."

Barkley: "These are all very marketable role players, and they are all veterans of the league. What do you think is strange?"

O'Neal: "After replacing all the main players, the Lakers' pure bench lineup is not like offense, nor is defense like defense."

When discussing techniques and tactics, Barkley was not so interested. While listening to his partner's comments, he read the comments on the official website.

To be honest, he was really worried that the Cavaliers fans would spray him too hard.

Mark Jackson, the former head coach, took over the conversation: "Shaq, I'm very interested in your topic, tell me what you think."

O'Neill: "Among these players, Beverly's defense is better than offense, Jeff Green is more mediocre, and the rest of them need someone on the field to contain them and create space for them. In this way, the main players will be off the field. Who will let them attract defense and double-teams?"

Mark Jackson: "In other words, the Lakers' bench lineup is weak in their ability to attack independently."

O'Neill: "Yes, I think Yuan Qingshan, Paul George and Towns should at least keep one on the court."

Mark Jackson nodded: "The Lakers have a lot of people who can be the core. If Jamal Murray is trained next year, the depth of the lineup will be terrifying."

Hearing Murray's name, Barkley suddenly became energetic: "I heard that the Lakers are going to trade Jamal Murray away, and Hassan Whiteside!"

O'Neill: "These rumors fill my Twitter screen every day, but before the fact, it's just rumors, but it's true that the free market this summer must be booming."

Barkley: "Didn't you hear that Jenny Buss is going to transfer her family assets to the Middle East, and the Lakers are no longer in her future plans."

O'Neal said casually: "Why, is he going to sell the Lakers? This is a cash cow."

Barkley: "Are you interested in taking Jenny Buss' offer?"

O'Neill thought it was just a joke, so he said casually: "If you want to recruit people into the group, you can still study it."

Barkley's expression became serious: "Are you serious? How about we buy the Lakers together?"

O'Neill's eyes lit up: "Okay, whoever breaks the appointment will kiss the donkey!"

Being exposed to scandal, Barkley laughed and slapped O'Neill.

That's the end of the topic, but O'Neill took out his mobile phone and secretly searched for news related to Jenny Buss.

Obviously, the news that Barkley uttered casually entered O'Neill's heart.

"Buy the Lakers? Just kidding, how could the Bass family sell it?" O'Neal said to himself.

There were 4 minutes left in the first half, and after all the substitutes were replaced, the Lakers' offense was in chaos, as some experts on the commentary platform said. This is a soulless lineup.

However, the Cavaliers failed to seize the opportunity to draw the score closer, because their bench lineup is not as good as the Lakers.

Coach Tyronn Lue stood on the sidelines and scratched his head. He was originally worried about what kind of tricks Wharton was playing, so he followed suit and replaced all his main players. As a result, he wasted a good opportunity to chase points.

LeBron James couldn't help being anxious seeing his teammates on the field restraining him, so he stood up and challenged the coach.

Tyronn Lue finally agreed after being stunned for three seconds, so after a dead ball, LeBron James re-entered the court.

The Lakers responded quickly, and Paul George replaced Nick Young.

Nick Young walked off the field expressionlessly, as if he had changed himself. He didn't let out a long breath until he sat on the bench.

Yuan Qingshan noticed these small movements, and it seemed that Nick Young remembered the horror of being dominated by those brutal small forwards in the league last season.

The Lakers also replaced Hassan Whiteside. Because the other main players on the opposite side did not play, Whiteside and Paul George can defend LeBron as much as they want. Paul George is in charge of the outside line and Whiteside is in charge of the inside line.

Drew's assistant coach is really worried about James' physical fitness this time: "Director Lu, such a person carrying it will consume too much for LeBron."

Tyronn Lue looked back at his bench, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and Bradley Beal were still panting heavily, especially Kyrie Irving, Tyronn Lue even felt his legs were shaking.

There is no way, the physical fitness of the three main players in my family has always been weak, and there is really no way to compare with a tough guy like Paul George.
