Devil shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 438 First in the East and Ninth in the West (Chapter Three Merged)

This expression can be understood as a kind of shame for the current ranking.

Or an annoyance.

Such a situation was very common at the beginning of last season.But later everyone became numb.

The Lakers last season were too much for players who wanted to win, or fans who wanted to see the team win.

And now the Lakers seem to be returning to the embarrassing situation in the West.

And today they are facing the Celtics who have a "big feud" with the Lakers!
After years of adjustments, today's Celtics have once again returned to the top of the Eastern Conference!

The Lakers players were holding back their energy during the break.There is not much training before the game.

This makes them more powerful to fight for victory at this time!

I didn't have a choice before, and the fatigue after the intensive training has not been completely eliminated, so I have to drag my tired body to the game.

But it's different now. Under the condition of physical fitness, I just do some special training!

In this game, what Stevens asked the players more is to respond flexibly to the opponent's tactical play on the field.

Kobe is attacking alone, so it is not necessary to guard him too hard.

The opponent cooperates to shoot, and they can't just let them go!

Now Li Feng has three exclusive skill packs in his hands. Tonight, he uses the blue-pin Ginobili pack and two purple-pin skill packs about shooting.

One is a special McGrady shooting bag, and the other is bought.Purple Pinwall Attack Pack!

For Yaodao and Wall's skill packs, Li Feng considered foot movement, and Wall's finishing ability in the later stage!

In the All-Star Game, Li Feng played for the Western All-Star Team!

In the later period, Wall recovered the lagging points in the East several times! !

In the regular season, Wall's ability in this area is also very outstanding!

So Li Feng saw this model in the mall and bought it immediately.

Thomas: "If you can make a quick decision, never delay. With Kobe around, I always feel..."

Thomas Jr. didn't say the latter words, but the teammates around him more or less guessed what he wanted to say.

The teammates on the Celtics side didn't say anything, and everyone was focused on warming up.

Data assistant: "How sure do you think we are in this game?"

Upon hearing this, Wharton, who was quite serious just now, suddenly laughed.

Walton: "You shouldn't ask me this? You are the assistant coach of the team who focuses on statistics. What do you think?"

Data assistant: "This... I just asked casually.

The Celtics are, in many ways, superior to the teams they play against.

The cooperation of the players, the three-point shooting ability, their crazy running and the final total points per game are all very good. "

Walton: "I know. That's why they are still No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

but you know what i think "

The data assistant shook his head and did not speak.

Wharton: "I will definitely win the opponent!! I think you told me this problem, it should be a little lack of confidence.

It depends on how you look at the data. You usually perform very well, but in this game you underestimated the enemy, or you played because of a cold.

Let me ask, under such circumstances, can you still play the original data? "

Data assistant: "But."

Walton: "But the opponent didn't get sick and had diarrhea, did he?
I really made the players of our team very difficult in front of me.But if they don't practice that hard, they don't know how far they can play.

Our team may now have the best bench depth in recent years.

I'm not sure, but I'm content to have this lineup.

Since the team has been running in for several years, and I seem to be standing on the shoulders of the Lakers after many years of running in.Let's watch the game in peace~"

After speaking, Wharton patted the data assistant on the shoulder, and then handed the tactical board to another young assistant.

In this way, he stood side by side with the data assistant and watched.

The cheers from the fans at the scene were a little smaller just now.

The main players of the two teams have come to the field. The starting players for the Celtics tonight are Horford, Kelly, Crowder, Thomas and Bradley.

On the Lakers side are Zubac, Randall, Ingram, Li Feng and Nick Young.

As the referee threw the ball into the air, Zubac suddenly jumped up and got the basketball one step ahead!
Such a situation shocked Horford!
I remember the last time they played against each other, Zubac still looked like a wet child.

Look at him now!The muscles of both arms are obviously thickened!The sense of power and bounce is also better!

The key is that Zubac's eyes are extremely determined at this time!

The basketball bounced out during the fight, but immediately Zubac jumped up again after landing!

After landing, he protected the basketball. Seeing that he had no chance, Horford started running back with his teammates.

Coach Stevens glanced at Horford with some reproach.

Zubac is a freshman this year. It is conceivable that the Lakers let him play the main center. The Lakers do not have any outstanding center players.

Then the ball can't be taken down?
The fans at the scene suddenly screamed again at this time, because the camera was aimed at Kobe at this time.

Li Feng received the basketball, and then the fans' attention was focused on the Asian defender!
Under the strict defense of Thomas Jr., Li Feng finally passed the ball to Randall, and Ingram used his body as a cover!

The body leans back slightly and makes a long-distance 2-pointer!
The scene immediately cheered for the Lakers' score!The Celtics felt that it was okay to start like this.

According to Stevens, the Lakers are indeed okay in the early stage.

But it was obvious that they couldn't keep up with them.

Crowder gets the basketball and sends it to Thomas Jr.

Facing Li Feng's defense, Thomas Jr. had no worries at all.

In the end, he passed Li Feng easily and scored a layup!

Randall at the basket didn't even give him a chance to react!
Thomas Jr. just went to the Lakers basket to test it out, and there was nothing that could stop them.

At this time, he was a little relieved.

This time Li Feng passed the ball to Nick Young after halftime, and the latter directly passed the ball to Ingram under the defense of Bradley.

The latter faced the very strong Claude!Pass the ball decisively!
Horford saw the basketball coming this time, and after catching the ball, Zubac turned around and dunked the ball desperately! !

After the dunk, Zubac beat his chest hard!
Horford: "Did I let you in too much?!"

Zubac: "I didn't ask you to let me go at the beginning? Just use it if you have anything! Is it possible that you are still afraid of you?!"

The young Zubac didn't look like a rookie at all, and he was very tough at the basket!

Because off the court, during training, Kobe also told him a lot about his mentality on the court.

Li Feng and Nick Young have also been teaching him how to handle the ball!
Mozgov, who was traded some time ago, is a big threat to Zubac's position at this time!

So Zubac is playing harder now!
At this time, Zubac's average data in the team is 9.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game!

And Mozgov's is 6.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists!

Compared with the two, the current Lakers still use Zubac to start more games and average time per game.

Mozgov is currently playing as a substitute for the Lakers, but it has to be said that he has strengthened the team's defensive capabilities inside.

At the scene of today's game, the first thing that caught people's eyes was the new Lakers center Zubac!

A defensive center.It's not easy being in the league.

It is difficult to play, unless it is valued by the team or you are particularly outstanding, you can say that you have a good development in the team.

But Zubac wants to understand one thing this season, if he wants to play well in the Lakers, he must have both offense and defense!
Although it is difficult for him.But he has to do it too.

Now when he saw Mozgov coming, he immediately felt more at ease.

If his average per game data this season was not as good as that of Mozgov, then who would the team choose as the Lakers' main center?
It's hard to say.

Mozgov is a player who has played in the league for 6 years!He just arrived!

Zubac can use slightly shorter average playing time than Mozgov at this time, and play better efficiency and statistics than him!
Naturally, he has gained a firm foothold in the Lakers!
The Celtics have now discovered that the Lakers are taking this game seriously.

So I started to be wary of the Lakers in front of me.

Thomas Jr.'s popularity seems to have reached its peak this season!

The most talked about is to compare him with Iverson.

It's shorter than the answer, but its data is higher than Iverson's!
Many years have passed without AI.Now there is another similar opponent in the rivers and lakes!

Compared with Burke who has "Iverson skin", Thomas Jr. has that ability!

In the shouts of the fans at the scene!Thomas Jr. took the ball to the frontcourt.

Even at the Staples Center, Thomas Jr.'s popularity has not diminished much.

Some fans even took out a photo of Iverson and Thomas Jr. waving in the air.

Unlike many stars, Thomas Jr. has the shadow of Iverson.

So fans who like him account for a part, and there are another batch of fans who liked Iverson before.

It can be said that the Celtics can play to this level, and Thomas Jr. accounts for a considerable proportion!

At this time, the Lakers' defense against Thomas Jr. has been strengthened a lot.

The corner of the little player's mouth raised slightly, his self-confidence is bursting this season!

Among the current players on the Lakers, no one is his opponent.

Even Li Feng can't do it!Maybe this is what it feels like to be a superstar on a team!

During the game, I often feel that there is no one who can fight!
And he really played very well in the game!After successfully attracting the attention of two Lakers players this time!

The basketball was then passed to Bradley, who got up and hit a three-pointer!
The Celtics are known for their fierceness in playing this season!
At the same time, the rhythm in the game is also very stable!There is output, the rhythm is good, and the defense is tough!
The Celtics almost meet all the conditions to become the top team in the Eastern Conference!
The Lakers immediately organize an offense!Ingram received the pass at halftime, and then Li Feng came to receive the ball, and he passed Thomas Jr.!

Li Feng is such a player, he always surprises his teammates, the media and the fans!

Even Horford became nervous, Li Feng made a gesture to pass the ball, and when Horford was about to steal the ball, he suddenly threw the ball!

In such a short period of time, Li Feng handled it as if he was instinctively moving very smoothly!

The fake action of splitting the ball, suddenly got up and adjusted, threw the ball, and hit the basket with a three-pointer! !

It is different from the previous games!

At the beginning of the Lakers today, the players were full of confidence, which made the Celtics feel uneasy!
Bradley threw the ball to Crowder in the backcourt.

Then Horford received the basketball, and Zubac interfered with his first jumper!
Horford, who immediately grabbed the rebound, succeeded in a violent dunk with both hands!

Zubac lost his footing and fell to the ground!
Horford: "This is the end of provocation!!"

Zubac: "Let's wait and see today!"

Two big, strong men spamming each other with nasty words on the field!

Kobe and Li Feng have been talking for a long time, and they start to talk to each other.

And Zubac, Kobe and Li Feng stayed for a long time, and learned to become tougher on the court!
If he isn't tough, opponents will keep scoring around him!
If he is not tough, rebounds will be grabbed by opponents one after another!
So Zubac must change his attitude!
There will always be players like this in a strong team.So why didn't he become such a person?

Zubac's personal defensive ability is good, and now he plays like this, all the advantages are shown!

Thomas Jr. held the ball across the half, this time his purpose was very clear!
That is to quickly break through with Li Feng!And he did!
The current Little Thomas seems to have become unstoppable!
He played the data of superstars!He has become a soul-level player in Boston's hearts!
The Celtics are now trying to overwhelm the Lakers in rhythm!
They can indeed do this in terms of combat power!
The camera was shown to the head coaches on both sides, and the other side was the handsome Niyan Emperor Stevens!
The Lakers are coach Wharton, who is popular in Los Angeles and handsome.

Obviously, for the Lakers this season, Walton has more chips in his hands.

Or these chips were activated by Wharton!
Nick Young got the basketball for the first time, and threw the ball less than 5 seconds after catching the ball, and finally the basketball flew out!
Horford hit the ball in the air!

Bradley picked up the basketball, and after Thomas Jr. caught the ball, he bypassed Ingram directly next to him!
Then he passed Li Feng. He seemed to be completely undisturbed by the Lakers' defense on the court, and finally hit a three-pointer without defense!

The point difference between the two teams was directly opened to 6 points!
The opponent's defender looks stronger!
Li Feng has a lot to do on the field now.

He can't completely attack by himself, and now Walton's arrangement is to let him organize the game.

Nick Young's ability to organize games is still limited.

As for Kobe, when to play and how much time to play after playing is a problem.

Ingram missed a three-pointer, and Randall got the ball and immediately hit a 2-pointer from close range!
13:9!I have to say that a fast-paced and stable team like the Celtics has indeed put a lot of pressure on many players on the Lakers side!

The basketball flew directly to Claude, and before Ingram could catch up, Kelly caught the ball and threw it to score points!
31:26!Kobe didn't chat in his seat, just watched the opponent's game quietly there.

Walton: "The opponent's internal defense ability is not low, so Russell, don't rush in rashly.

The opponent’s style of play is tough, and you may be blocked by the opponent immediately.”

Russell: "I know the coach. I shoot more from the outside"

Walton: "No, chances are usually given to teammates. You shoot less often."

Russell: "Yeah"

Wharton: "It's enough for Mozgov to defend well. Keep an eye on the opponent, pay attention to the position and be careful of being stuck.

I'll leave the rebound to you and Luol Deng! "

After Wharton signaled everyone to rest, Mozgov nodded and went on the court with his teammates shortly after.

Back from the second quarter, the Lakers trailed by 5 points in the first quarter.

The opponent's lineup remains unchanged, the Lakers' lineup is Mozgov, Luol Deng, Nance, Russell and Lu Wei!
It can be said that all five positions have been replaced!
At first glance, the Celtics did not expect that the Lakers would play like this.

At the beginning of the game, Russell held the ball for halftime. Today's game is the first game for the Lakers to enter the playoffs mode!
Russell's current average data per game has declined seriously!The main reason is that the average playing time per game is severely controlled by Wharton!

The data of 10.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists made him feel very uncomfortable in the Lakers!
Wharton let him play so early today, so naturally he will think more about the statistics!
He tried to break through twice, but was discovered by the other party.

Lu Wei got the basketball in the bottom corner, and then passed the ball to Nance Jr., whose jumper was directly interfered by Claude!

After the confrontation in the first quarter, Li Feng, who played for 12 minutes, seems to be fine now.

In the past, at least Li Feng's physical fitness will decline significantly now.

But still in that state.But now Li Feng is just tired after playing two quarters in a row.

Kobe arranged a set of physical training methods for him during this time.

When the training intensity of the team came down, Li Feng felt that he had endless energy!

And the other players of the team are now on the field, and their control over the rhythm and their own performance has become better and better!
Physical fitness is indeed a very important factor in the competitive arena.

A very simple example, other players played three quarters in a row, nothing happened.

If you go up and play for 10 minutes, you will be exhausted.

At that time, your movements will definitely be out of shape, and you will not be able to control the scene.

The opponent will firmly grasp the rhythm of the live game and beat them hard!
From the time he had dinner with Coach Kidd at the beginning of the season, Walton has been preparing to consciously train the players during the regular season!
Looking at it now, the effect is remarkable!
In the constant fighting between the two teams, Nance Jr. got the basketball again after 21 seconds and hit a three-pointer!

Coach Stevens is waiting for the Lakers to get tired.

At that time, their team's original plan was to use the substitutes to play first, so there will be no problem at all.

Kobe can't guard against him, but the rest of the Lakers players can't play.

Wait for the main players from Boston to come back in the third quarter and win the Los Angeles Lakers in one go! !
But now Stevens thinks that he must hold his breath!

A little slow to react in pretending to arrange players himself.

In this way, the defensive psychology of the Lakers will be inadvertently reduced.

When Thomas Jr. gets the basketball, the players in the audience will cheer!

Although the voice is not loud, it shows Thomas Jr.'s influence in the league now!

Facing the double-teaming of Russell and Lu Wei!Little Thomas easily passed the two!

Then he passed Nance Jr. and hit a jumper next to Luol Deng!

At the home court of the Lakers, Thomas Jr.'s performance is very eye-catching!
At this time, the camera is shown to the black mamba again!

Kobe's expression was very calm. In the second quarter, he became more active.

Chatting with Li Feng briefly, Wharton went over to chat with him and Li Feng from time to time.

The Celtics players on the field, for some reason, felt the same sense of uneasiness as Thomas Jr. in today's game.

Although they have maintained the initiative until now.But that uneasy feeling has always been there!

Russell ran straight for Thomas Jr. and rushed over!
In the end, the basketball was assigned to Lu Wei, who faced Bradley very skillfully and used the rhythm to open up the space distance!

Then got up and hit a three-pointer!

After the shot, Coach Stevens took a few steps up and down the sidelines.

33:32!After the Lakers seem to change all positions, their combat power has not decreased much?
impossible
In the last game, the New Orleans Pelicans, a team with that kind of strength, won the Lakers.

There's no reason for the Lakers to play against them in this game. Will it be the stalemate like this?

Thomas Jr. clearly felt this. He passed the ball to Bradley this time, and the latter missed a three-pointer!
Kelly got the rebound and passed the ball to Crowder, who let Nance Jr. receive a foul and then made 2 free throws!
Kobe: "Boy, I'm going to play!!"

Thomas: "I've been waiting for you for a long time! Mr. Kobe~"

Talking about it, Thomas saw Kobe smiling, and he also made a gesture of paying tribute to Kobe~
At this time, Thomas Jr., who has become the leader of the team in the league, really wants to play against Kobe to see how good he is!
Dozens of games had passed since the last game. At that time, Kobe completely suppressed Thomas Jr.!
In this game, he wanted to see how far he was from Kobe!
The fans at the scene have long seen Kobe warming up on the sidelines!

The atmosphere is gradually heating up at this time!
Russell passed Bradley very seriously, and when he attracted the opponent's forward player to defend, he passed the ball!

Nance Jr. immediately made a mid-range jumper!

Thomas Jr. faced Russell, the player in front of him, but it was much easier than Li Feng!
Russell was almost knocked down by Thomas Jr.!The latter directly passed Nance Jr. here and then made a hollow jumper!
Thomas Jr.'s breakthrough, running casually in the Lakers penalty area like entering no one's land!

Russell is also a little anxious!In the matchup with Thomas Jr., he relied on Lu Wei's cover to score a three-pointer! !

37:37!Walton immediately applauded Russell from the sidelines!

Then the two coaches inadvertently looked at each other from the sidelines!
Wharton's desire to pause immediately withdrew.

This time Horford's jumper was interfered by Mozgov!After Luoer Deng got the ball, he threw it out!
Russell immediately received the ball and passed the ball straight to Lu Wei!

Seeing the Lakers score another three points, Stevens took the lead in asking for a timeout!
