Devil shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 517 Enrage the Veteran!

A game with James is always easy to play.

Although the teammates are not very good.But after the timeout, James still took the initiative to stand up.

20:13!Coach Walton's face was pulled down, and Fultz in the team also restrained a lot.

Although the current Lakers have returned to the star-studded state many years ago, coach Wharton has the right to decide who can play and who will not play.

Booker can't stop James at all, and no one on the team can stop him now.

And the Lakers now let LeBron attack by himself because they saw the opponent's flaws.

It works almost every time.

Bayless took the ball to the frontcourt after getting the ball, and then Li Feng received the pass.

LeBron immediately followed, and now the Lakers also know that Li Feng and Kuzma are the main players who can score.

As for Booker, giving him the ball basically doesn't score.

Bayless received a pass from Li Feng at this time, but Fultz immediately chased him.

Kuzma received the pass directly and was cut off by Channing while dribbling!

After halftime, LeBron, under the watchful eyes of the 76ers, easily rushed over and scored with a one-handed dunk!

Now this point of James has really become a problem for the 76ers.

But Li Feng also told his teammates.

Although the little emperor can score well, his time on the court is currently limited.

Unless Walton wants to keep playing four quarters with James.

This is an overkill for LeBron.So there is a high probability that such a thing will not happen.

And the Lakers gradually recovered the score.

Li Feng received the ball to the frontcourt again, and tonight he used the Zipin McGrady skill pack.

Compared with the orange skill pack in the last game against the Warriors, this pack's combat power is weaker.

But compared with the Lakers, who are not particularly good at scoring, it is still good.

After these two games, Li Feng will still focus on passing.Like at the beginning of the season.

Because now the cooling time of exclusive skill packs has been extended.

If he continues to shoot like this, he will hit iron frequently in the later stage.

Facing the double-teaming of the Lakers this time, James was picked and rolled outside.

Li Feng got up and hit a three-pointer!

Li Feng at this time, in the eyes of the Lakers, is equivalent to Curry of the Warriors!
As long as he thinks, the three-pointer is very easy to get!
23:15!The Lakers are still behind.

This is somewhat at odds with the idea of ​​them crushing their opponents from the start until the end of the game.

Not only inconsistent, at the beginning of the first quarter, if there is no James, the Lakers may have been beaten by the 76ers at this time.

LeBron still dribbled the ball across the half court. At this time, he began to consume a lot of physical energy in the first quarter of the game.

The Lakers have yet to get Davis of the Pelicans this season.

At the beginning of the season, the Pelicans suddenly repented, which brought the negotiations between the two sides to a sudden deadlock.

This time James missed a shot, and the 76ers, led by Kuzma's speed, immediately came to the frontcourt.

Then Fultz missed again.

Bayless made an easy three-pointer!Walton sighed again from the sidelines, and he turned to let Thomas start warming up.

Fultz panicked after seeing this scene.

The pressure on Walton this season is not small.

He has his own set of views on the team.

But the meaning of the management is to let him focus on training Fultz.Later Wharton also agreed.

But why doesn't Fultz look like a champion?

With the Lakers struggling hard, the first quarter of the game is finally over...

29:23!The Lakers did their best... Of the 23 points, LeBron scored 14 points alone...

Fans who like James are naturally overjoyed!
But LeBron knows that if he continues to play like this, the Lakers will not last long sooner or later!
There is a break at the end of the first quarter.

When Booker saw that he had finally finished the first quarter, he was about to cry when he went back.

Although his striker Booker has never been afraid of anyone in the league, there are still a few players who are very difficult to guard!

For example, Leonard of the Raptors, Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, and now James of the Lakers.

Although James is very old, his body is well maintained!

After such a game, Booker felt that he had exhausted his strength for nearly two games.

Brown smiled and said a few words to him after seeing it, and then asked Roberto to replace Booker, whose physical fitness had begun to decline.

Forward positions like them are basically defensive.

The preseason does not represent the strength of the two teams.Now the 76ers still have no way of knowing how powerful the Lakers are.

Brown: "Be careful of the opponent's cooperation, and LeBron's sudden points. James will have more sudden points in the early stage.

Try to defend as much as you can, the best you can do.If we can't let it go, we will delay it. "

Now their 76ers have some confidence.

In terms of scoring, it can somewhat compete with the Lakers.

In the second quarter, Saric and Roberto were replaced by the 76ers.

Fultz was unconvinced and replaced by Thomas Jr.

Randle stayed on the court, but played power forward instead, and Lopez played center.

Fultz: "I think Thomas' teammates were so good when he was with the Celtics.

This is how he created such a powerful image of combat power.Will it not work after seeing the Lakers? "

Qian Ning: "He didn't play much? How do you know he can't do it?

You averaged points per game in terms of statistics, and you have completely crushed him now, or crushed Iverson back then? "

Fultz: "...Then let's see."

After hearing the child say such ignorant words, Qian Ning asked him differently.

And he was looking at the so-called No. [-] scholar in front of him with a look of something.

Fultz: "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

Seen by veteran Channing, Fultz said with a guilty conscience.

Channing: "Before you talk big, you have to do it first, even like Thomas, who surpassed Iverson and was remembered by many fans.

Whatever he says I think has a lot of credibility.

But what's the use of what you said?Grandstanding here like a clown?

You may not be convinced yet, do you think you are the first brother of the Lakers in the future? "

Fultz: "What else?"

Channing: "Do you think if the Lakers treat you like a big brother, why would they offer James a 4-year, 1.5 million+ contract?
Who do you think is the head of the Lakers, compared to LeBron's current average contract of $700 million a year, who only earns $3800 million a year? "

Fultz: "Mine, no."

Channing: "Whose fault is it?!"

Fultz: "."

Channing: "Also. In Los Angeles, only Kobe has been able to appear as the main guard on this team for many years.

Thomas Jr. played data that surpassed Allen Iverson back then!His team doesn't want him yet.

What's more, you, a young player who just came to the Lakers, what capital do you have to talk about this? !
Is Jeremy Lin famous?Are you staying with the Lakers?

Is Clarkson playing well?Are you still in Los Angeles now?Is Li Feng good or not?He is no longer our opponent, and he has left the Lakers.

Boy, it's not that easy to gain a foothold in Los Angeles! "

Fultz's face was flushed by the words of veteran Channing, and he didn't dare to answer the next word.

Seeing Wharton looking at him with a smile, Fultz immediately lowered his head.

He kept thinking about how to refute this guy Channing, but he couldn't figure out how to refute a sentence.

The two teams were competing fiercely on the field, but there was a happy scene on the Lakers bench~
Fultz blushed on the sidelines. After a while, he got up and said a few words to Walton and left the field.

asked for leave.

Wharton: "Channing, what you just said was a bit harsh."

Coach Wharton, in a suit and leather shoes, still walked over with a smile.

Channing: "This era is very good. If it was the 90s, if he dared to speak like this, without some game data, he would basically bid farewell to the NBA.

Or one day he will be beaten by his teammates behind closed doors!
It is good for the Lakers to cultivate newcomers with veterans, but they do not cultivate arrogant young people.

Look at Kuzma, who was traded there from Philadelphia. The rookie scoring list has been stable in the top three positions.

As far as I know, this kid is a little obedient and scary. "

Hearing what Channing said, Wharton's heart sank.

Indeed, as veteran Channing said, Kuzma's strength was underestimated by the Lakers management.

Walton: "If Fultz is still in Philadelphia, I guess he has become better now."

Qian Ning: "You mean Li Feng?"

Wharton: "I don't know why. I always feel...we can't just let Li Feng go this season"

Channing: "Hearing what you said, I think so too. But I don't know if I should say something or not"

Wharton: "Tell me, I'll write it down if I think it's useful."

In the face of these experienced and steady old players, Walton's attitude will be much more polite.

Qian Ning: "It's not necessarily true. Just pretend I'm chatting.

When it comes to the playoffs, it still depends on who plays well in the regular season, and then let him play for a while.

Look at little Thomas now. "

Looking for Channing's finger, Wharton saw that under the leadership of Thomas Jr., the score had become 33:31!
Channing: "I don't need to say more about James, you know it. Thomas and Lopez Jr. have a lot of ideas for playing on the court.

The player Thomas Jr. is mentally tenacious.It can be said that it is similar to the answer, and it is worth cultivating.

You can give him more time on the court, and Brook, he is also the center of the Nets who has played for more than ten years. "

Walton: "Thomas and Lopez? I see. Thank you, I will try my best to let more substitute players play in the regular season"

Channing nodded when he heard this and stopped talking.His eyes were full of praise for the young head coach.

Fortunately, the coach of the Lakers is not bad.

Then Wharton began to observe little Thomas seriously.In the second quarter, under the leadership of Thomas, it came alive!
And the team's speed slowed down after Kuzma left the court. At this time, the rhythm of the Lakers was raised by Thomas Jr. again.

James doesn't care about these, any rhythm is fine.

Over the years, what lineup and tactics have you never seen?

Randall is a little bit strenuous, but Brook, a big man, runs all over the court like a guard, which is very impressive~
For a while, the 76ers really didn't know how to deal with it.

Although Lopez is not particularly strong against the basket, he is flexible.

Li Feng: "Slow down the pace, we can't play fast with them!"

So Li Feng's speed slowed down immediately, and Thomas Jr. discovered the situation in time.

He deliberately ran to Li Feng's side to interfere with him!
But Li Feng, who also knew Thomas' intentions, did not rush to pass the ball.

After a short entanglement between the two, Li Feng directly made a jumper, and then immediately threw the ball to Embiid in the air!

The latter directly confronted Brook forcibly, and finally made 2 free throws after fouling him!
After Thomas arrived on the court, the overall rhythm of the Lakers was different!

Thomas Jr., who received a serve from his teammate, faced Bayless after halftime.

A few fake moves suddenly stopped, Bayless was sent flying, and then hit Li Feng!
If he hadn't met Li Feng, Bayless might have been knocked down by Thomas just now!

How similar is this scene!

Then the fans at the scene gave out crazy cheers!
James was only slightly relieved at this time.Finally, part of his attention was diverted to Thomas.

After a little confusion, Thomas Jr. jumped up and hit a three-pointer! 35:34!

Now the 76ers are only 1 point ahead of the Lakers.

Outside the field, many fans and some TV commentators also discovered an interesting phenomenon.

That is, after many years, the leaders of the two teams seem to have changed.

The "OK combination" many years ago, the strong Shark and Kobe combined to face the particularly capable Iverson!
And now it's the 76ers' side, Embiid, who is very strong in confrontation, and Li Feng, who was hailed as having a lot of similarities with Kobe last season, and "Iverson's successor" Thomas are duel!
It seems that the main players of the two sides have switched~
Not long after Saric got the pass from Li Feng, he hit a line and scored 2 points!
Thomas Jr. took the ball to the front court, and LeBron made a three-pointer after receiving the pass from him!
37:37!Both sides draw!
The fans at the Staples Center cheered enthusiastically!

Li Feng got his teammate's serve at this time, signaling not to worry.

Then he went to the frontcourt to attract the Lakers' defensive attention.

In the end, the ball was passed to Embiid, Saric received the basketball again not far away, jumped up and hit a three-pointer!
Seeing that Saric's touch gradually recovered, Li Feng's heart also calmed down.

When the Lakers were gaining momentum, what Li Feng had to do was to entangle the opponent until the third quarter.

There is also a reason why Brown deliberately let Kuzma end early.

Coach Brown also told Li Feng just now that he will not play for too long in the second quarter.

That is, during LeBron's rest time, the 76ers can still attack the Lakers a few times!

Looking at the performance of the Lakers today, if Thomas has been on the court, it would be really difficult.

At this time, it depends on how the Lakers will arrange players to play in the later stage.

The Lakers have a good lineup this season, and Thomas Jr. may end up early.
