Chapter 199: A Man's Redemption (Part II)
"There's never a lack of fighting spirit. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The middle-aged man in the stands, who claimed to be a scout, added this sentence to his notebook.
Silence, no one on the supersonic bench spoke, neither did McMillan, the players lost confidence in victory, McMillan because he no longer had hope for them, in this strange depression, the main forces at the end of the break sat down silently, silently wiped the sweat that kept dripping with towels, silently unscrewed the lid of the sports drink, and silently poured a sip.
As the minutes ticked by, in the silence, McMillan began to deploy a rotational lineup. Despite the grim situation, the rest time of the main players must be guaranteed, and they just experienced a game yesterday, and physical strength is another problem that the supersonic team faces in addition to confidence.
This year's Lakers are not only much inferior to last year, but compared with other BA teams, except for Kobe, they really don't have any advantages, and even the newly joined Bobcats are more competitive than them.
Looking at their bench lineup, point guard Tyre Brown, just past the bench line, scoring guard Sasha Wijacic, this year's rookie, small forward Luke Wharton, the Lakers' strongest point on the bench, power forward Stanisray Medvedenko, the Ukrainian is still not consistent enough, center Valad Divac, the most famous one on the bench, but this is the fifth year of his BA career.
But it was this lineup that made the supersonic benches who added Antonio Daniels, the former No. 4 pick, Damion Wilkins, who was accurate in three-point shooting, and Jerome James, who was the main player in the original space-time meeting, fall into an embarrassing situation from the beginning......
Divac split the ball inside and Sasha Wijacic hit a three-pointer. Damion Wilkins received the ball and broke through, created Walker and Medvidenko, and the ball was stealed by Brown. Divac split the ball inside, and Walker broke through to cause James' rough foul and successfully hit 21. Wilkins shot the iron, James picked up the rebound, and the supplement encountered Divac, who had superb acting skills, and the offensive fouls were one by one, and the supersonic bench on the court turned on his back.
Morale, sometimes really not to be underestimated!
"Let me play, Nate."
Looking at the situation on the field, Chamberlain could no longer sit still, he got up from his chair and asked McMillan to fight. Now he can't ask others what to do, the only thing he can ask for is himself, and despite being very tired, he still forced himself to choose to continue fighting.
At that time, McMillan had no choice, and although he wanted to rest Chamberlain very much, no one wanted to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Less than a minute and a half into the fourth quarter, the Lakers managed to overtake the score, the SuperSonics requested a substitution, and Chamberlain came on to replace the useless Jerome James. Chamberlain came on the court, and the Lakers could not be indifferent, and Ukrainian Medvedenko came off the court next up, replacing him with our little prince of the nightclub, Odom.
"The two sides made substitutions, Zhang and Odom played at the same time, what do you say Odom will do this time, Doug?"
Oxlade-Chamberlain's appearance aroused the enthusiasm of Ross Barkley, who lacked interest in the game of the substitutes.
"Charles, don't underestimate the old man, Divac won't make Zhang as comfortable as the first three quarters, he will use his experience to tell the young man something."
Smith kindly reminded Barkley not to be so optimistic, the old monster who is dying of age, and restrain the talented milk tiger, such a scene has been staged more than once in the basketball career witnessed by Smith, just like O'Neal, holding up the strongest body in history, in his career, he always can't get over the twilight Olajuwon.
"Yes, Charles, I think Kenny is right, Divac will definitely teach that rookie some lessons and tell him that he still needs to wait."
Women sing with their husbands? Or is it a hot affair?
"No, to believe the intelligence of our Buckley family members, haven't you noticed that Zhang, like me, is able to stay calm in any situation?"
Barkley always doesn't mind revealing his strengths, perhaps because he hides them too deeply, and he has to dissect himself all the time. For example, when his teammate shot the winning ball, he calmly shook his teammate's shoulder frantically, causing his teammate to dislocate his shoulder when he almost suffocated......
"Well, calm Charles, are you going to say next: 'Chang will definitely defeat Divac, or we will bet?' Well, I think Doug would do the same, and whoever of you loses will kiss the ass of the donkey. โ
Smith, who had a serious face, waved his sleeves, did not take away a cloud, and neatly took himself out and sold others.
"Just wait for the old dreams to come back, Charles."
Well, there are still many honest people in this world. Smith didn't hesitate to dig the hole, and honest Doug didn't hesitate to jump.
After the substitution, it was the Lakers' ball, Divac was old after all, and the movement footsteps that no longer existed, so that he could not find a good opportunity to receive the ball under the entanglement of Chamberlain, Brown dribbled the ball over the half court and handed the basketball to Odom, the current boss on the court.
Turning over all the information that can be found in Radmanovich, removing all the meaningless dregs, a big man floating outside, has become all his adjectives.
Well, his eye defense made Odom hit the iron.
For Odom, Chamberlain was incomparably more intimidating, even than Duncan and Garnett, and the experience of being shaken down in the preseason was like a nightmare, often appearing in his midnight dreams, so after he broke through Radmanovic, he did not continue to go deep into the basket, but chose to shoot a jumper.
At this time, the disadvantage of Kobe Bryant's crazy scoring was reflected, and Odom, who did not have a chance to shoot in the entire third quarter, shot at such a close range.
The rebound was easily obtained by Chamberlain, and the aging Divac did not pose much of a threat to him. Chamberlain, who got the rebound, did not pass the ball to let his teammates break quickly, and the collective absence made him dare not have such extravagant hopes again.
Chamberlain held the basketball tightly in his arms, and the Lakers returned to defense, so he handed the basketball into Daniels' hands, and then escorted all the way until he was a step away from the three-point line, and then he turned around and cut inside.
Even when the main team was on the court, Chamberlain was the first choice to control the ball, and Daniels, as a substitute, of course, did not dare to assert himself, and a through ball sent the basketball to Chamberlain, who had just stepped into the free throw line.
