Devil shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 518 The power is like a broken bamboo!

Since Fultz came to the Lakers, he has not had such a fierce conflict with anyone.

Randall, Zubac and other players from last season didn't bother to quarrel with him, although Fultz sometimes had bad words when training in the team.

But after winning the championship last season, these Lakers players who stayed from last season have settled a lot.

They feel very sad that Li Feng cannot continue to be with the Lakers, even now this emotion is still there.

But in the new season, they always have a goal, and that is to strive for the Lakers to win two consecutive championships this season!

James, who came from the Cavaliers, cared more about young people.

The players of the Lakers have just come into contact with James, so they don't feel the dominant aura of his players.

Instead, he was moved by his extravagant spending.

LeBron is usually keen to give gifts.But Fultz believes that since he is this year's No. [-] pick, he should give himself some more expensive gifts no matter what!

So not only did he not thank James, but he also hated him for it.

Channing finally couldn't stand it anymore today. On the bench, in front of many teammates, he mercilessly gave Fultz angrily.

During this period, no player came up to speak for him, and no player came to persuade him to fight.

There is also a "happy" atmosphere around
This is also the first big setback Fultz has suffered with the Lakers.

Qian Ning's anger seemed to wake him up.

Veteran Channing is right, a team paid LeBron nearly $4000 million in salary in a single year! !
Let me ask, will the team pay more attention to Lao Zhan, or you, a rookie with only a few million dollars a year?

After the first half, the two sides tied at 58!
Brilliant performance by little Thomas!In the third quarter, Wharton let James go off the field to rest, and Thomas also went off the field at 4 minutes and 11 seconds.

The third quarter finally scored 89:78!There was a big cushion on LeBron's chair, and he just sat on it and watched the entire quarter quietly.

The back is very straight, as if a student is listening to the class seriously.

Walton accidentally saw LeBron in this state several times. This player is very strict with himself.

And when he came to the Lakers, he also set an example for many players here.

That is to train hard at ordinary times and compete seriously on the field!
Seeing Walton laughing and calling himself over, LeBron immediately stood up from the bench.

Then he walked over to communicate with Wharton.

James is like a replica of Li Feng, and he has a unique view of the game on the field.

Wharton also respects his opinion very much.

James: "Because the opponent has Li Feng on the court, their style of play is very flexible.

But in my opinion, the only thing on the field is whether you can score and whether you can defend your opponent.Apart from other aspects, these two points are relatively basic things. "

Wharton: "Yes."

Listening to what the little emperor said, Wharton obediently listened.

James: "Thomas can guarantee the flexibility of our team. In terms of interior defense, I think Zubac's defense is still good.

I watched a lot of his games last season. He was the Lakers' basket last season. "

Walton: "You mean? Let him play center?"

James: "Brook is still the center, and Zubac plays the fourth position."

Walton: "Hart scored, Thomas Jr. point guard!"

LeBron nodded directly, and the two wanted to go together.

The lineup for the 76ers in the fourth quarter is Embiid, Roberto, Kuzma, Li Feng and Simmons.

The time with Simmons is not short.

Coach Brown still feels that Simmons still has the potential to become a star player.

And Simmons has played extremely hard in recent games!
Mainly because he was "stared" by Kobe.
Kobe called again a week ago and asked about his recent training.

When Simmons proudly thought that the black mamba would praise him, there was silence for a few seconds, and then he dropped a few words impatiently.

"I advise you to go to the Development League. Maybe there, you can get the main position of the team."

After finishing speaking, before Simmons could react, he hung up the phone.

This directly led Simmons to do shooting drills that day, until 1:[-] in the morning.

With Kobe's training intensity back then, Simmons and most of today's players simply couldn't complete it.

Think about it, I guess some dare not think about it.

Kobe is looking forward to Simmons' performance very much. He feels that if Li Feng and Booker are talented shooting guards who don't need to be taught.

Then Russell, who has gone to the Nets at this time, and Simmons, who sometimes can't play as a substitute in the 76ers, belong to the kind of players who need a stick
You have to spur them on before they become stars and let them gradually get on the right track.

Russell has stopped answering Kobe's calls now, and he had a bad time with Coach Atkinson in the Nets.

And here, Simmons, the 2016 No. [-] pick with outstanding talent in Kobe's heart, still listens to him.

Whether it is Simmons' own talent, luck, or the support of the people around him, he is better than many players.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, Simmons, who learned that he was going to play in the fourth quarter, immediately warmed up on the sidelines.

His movements were very large, which attracted many fans on the sidelines.

the last week.

Simmons' training seems to be angry, and it seems to be self-torture! !

He first spent two days observing who in the team did the most shooting training, and found that Li Feng had the longest shooting training time so far.

Next is McConnell.

So he added three times the time of Li Feng's single-day training to himself every day to practice shooting!

Mid-range, obstacle jumper, pull-up jumper, three-pointer, ultra-long three-pointer
And these Brown coaches are all in their hearts.

If Simmons fails to achieve results this season, the team management will basically trade him away.

Because the team spent enough money on Simmons, but the effect was not obvious.

Even a lot of money can be said to be wasted.

James: "Thomas, you have to pay attention to the cooperation with our teammates. You have to trust our teammates.

I'm not necessarily your first pass pick, you know what I mean? "

Thomas: "Find the best spot to score, pass the ball out and get an assist.

The rhythm of the last quarter of the game is controlled by the two of us together! "

James: "By the way, brother! That's what it means!"

Iverson was a great player in the 90s!And last season, Thomas Jr. surpassed Allen Iverson in statistics on the side of the Celtics!

LeBron knows that sometimes there is not much comparison between the two.

Because times are different.

If Thomas was placed in the 90s, he might not be able to achieve what he is today.

But aside from these, Thomas Jr.'s personal ability is very good!
After being traded to Cleveland by Boston, Thomas, who was injured at the time, was directly abandoned by the Cavaliers.

Later, he was recruited by the Lakers.

During this period of time, Thomas' mentality fluctuated a lot, but now he is much calmer.

The leg injury also healed much faster than expected!

Simmons: "The combination of Zubac and Lopez?"

Li Feng: "It seems that we can't cooperate too much with our teammates under the basket.

This game is also suspended.It mainly depends on a few of us to score. You should try to pass as little as possible from Embiid. "

Seeing that Li Feng's expression suddenly became more serious, Li Feng's teammates who thought they could win the Lakers immediately after the third quarter also felt that it was difficult to handle.

The player Thomas Jr. is too tenacious!

For him on the field, his battle spirit seems to be able to affect all the teammates present!
At the beginning of the game, Li Feng went to the front court very carefully.

Thomas didn't make things difficult for him in the backcourt, but when Li Feng passed halftime, Thomas Jr. immediately started to make things difficult for him!
Li Feng immediately protect the basketball!
Kuzma rushed directly to receive a pass from Li Feng, and before LeBron had time to guard him, he passed the ball straight to Simmons.

The latter got up and hit the basket with 2 points from a long distance! !

Kobe: "Look. Simmons has been playing better recently.

Although he is far from meeting the requirements I set for him.But that might be Simmons trying too hard.

Since I didn't have much contact with him, I didn't speak too harshly to him.

If he's on the Lakers, I'm really going to go and coach him. "

Today, Kobe accidentally ran into his own defensive champion World Peace. The two said to Artest while watching the game in a small bar.

At this time, shouts for our team sounded from the sky above the Staples Arena!

Since LeBron came on the court in the fourth quarter, his face sank!

After Kobe, in James' eyes, there are not many so-called opponents anymore.

But in terms of scoring, Booker can be ignored because his team can't achieve results.

Leonard of the Raptors, Curry of the Warriors, and what James remembers in recent years is now Li Feng of the 76ers!

These later young people seem to be the top existence in this era!
James winked at Thomas, and Thomas Jr. passed to LeBron with two players double-teaming.

Kuzma ran a few steps, found that he couldn't prevent it, and ran back immediately~
He watched from the sidelines as James made contact with Embiid before Embiid picked up his third foul of the game.

91:81！詹姆斯成功的打成2+1后，76人这边库兹玛三分刷筐而出，随后祖巴茨直接拿到篮板。

Thomas Jr. had passed halftime, and the basketball was thrown into his hands.

The Lakers are about to score another three points!
Before Li Feng could say that he wanted to slow down, Thomas Jr. suddenly changed his defensive target and cut off his basketball beside Simmons.

Hart hit the net with a three-pointer shortly after receiving the ball on the other side!

Brown immediately called for a timeout!
The Lakers fans at the scene cheered wildly.

James walked over and lowered his body to high-five Thomas Jr. to celebrate!
It's so awesome to cooperate with Thomas Jr.!
This is the first time Walton has used Thomas Jr. to organize a game this season.

He played more playing time today than in any previous game.

91:87!The point difference has shrunk from 11 points to 4 points!
Brown: "The opponent's rhythm control is better than ours, or is there any other reason?"

Li Feng: "We played too fast just now, and the opponent stepped up their defense. Now the opponent must strictly control the basket!

Our offensive space has been compressed a lot.”

Brown: "In terms of rhythm, Li Feng and Kuzma are the two of you to lead, and the scoring is mainly left to Simmons and Embiid.

We don’t have to fight with each other, we can suppress each other in coordination.”

The head coach's idea is similar to Li Feng's, but Li Feng's main idea is to slow down the pace.

Now he and Kuzma are controlling the field, and he will do it himself.

Back from the game, Thomas Jr. was very active.

He has been staring at Li Feng's side, and was almost intercepted by Thomas twice.

Eventually basketball came to Kuzma.

LeBron immediately went to defend, but Kuzma kept avoiding the little emperor.

The fans at the scene became excited when they saw this scene.Kuzma, who played very well this year, seems to be afraid to fight LeBron head-on~
But the little emperor knows that the player Kuzma is still very smart.

He kept shuttling in the frontcourt, Thomas Jr., and Hart didn't stop him.

In the end, relying on Roberto's body as a cover, Kuzma directly made a 2-pointer with a jumper!
Now, if they don't focus on offensive efficiency, the 76ers' advantage in the third quarter will be overtaken by the Lakers immediately!
Simmons and Li Feng said something, but Li Feng shook his head.

He wants to defend Thomas, but Li Feng thinks it is still very difficult for Simmons to defend him.

Thomas Jr. still handed it to himself, and then Thomas dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

After Lopez received his pass, Embiid scored with a very silky post-up single~
Then Simmons' jump shot was slapped by LeBron's bloody cap. After capping him, LeBron chased the basketball, dribbled the ball directly across the half court, and scored points with a tomahawk dunk without defense! !

93:91!The Lakers are still 2 points away from tying with the 76ers!
The camera is now on the 76ers bench.

It happened to capture the scene of many players standing up nervously on the bench.

Brown is still watching the game seriously from the sidelines.

Li Feng took the ball to the front court at this time, and under the defense of Thomas Jr., he finally made a straight jumper and hit a three-pointer!

Then Thomas passed halftime and was double-teamed by Simmons and Kuzma. After receiving his pass, LeBron rushed towards Embiid!

The latter wants to press James' dunk in the air! !
But it was immediately seen through by LeBron in the air!After an unbelievable hang in the air, LeBron turns around and throws the ball!
Embiid was passed directly, and the basketball also hit the rebound!

After the goal was scored, the fans immediately burst into cheers!
James' feeling of overwhelming all players in the game reappeared!

In the playoffs, the teams in the Eastern Conference met the Cavaliers with James back then, and that was the feeling.
Simmons quickly ran to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Li Feng under the defense of Hart.

The fans at the scene were in mixed feelings at this time. The super scorer of the Lakers last season was already the 76ers.

First, he passed the double-teaming of Hart and Thomas Jr., and then when his teammates blocked LeBron, Li Feng rushed directly to the basket and let Lopez receive a foul and then threw the ball into the basket!

The 76ers, who had little combat power last season, can't beat the Lakers now.
