At halftime, Luke Wharton seemed to hear about Zhao Wei's fatigue and sleep, and came over to ask Zhao Wei if he didn't have to be on the scene in the second half, but Zhao Wei refused. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Luke Wharton came to him, Zhao Wei saw that Luke Wharton always had a smile on his face, and it was a smile from the heart, and he didn't look like the performance of a coach who was behind in the first half of the game.

Zhao Wei was curious, and at the same time thought a little ill-intentioned: "The team doesn't have any expectations for this season's results, so there is no pressure." You can be so calm, but I don't know if you can still perform like this after the pressure. ”

An idea to see the actual changes in Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei would never have thought of such an idea before.

Indeed, the Lakers have no expectations for this season's record, and a team in the first year of rebuilding can not make it to the Finals in one step, and the strength of every team in the West is not imaginary.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that few coaches will change. That is, this player started in the first half, so he was still the starting in the second half. Even if he plays badly, the coach will not replace him in the starting line-up of this game, which is an insult to a player. At most, I'll let you play first, and I'll replace you right away after a few minutes.

At the start of the second half, the starting line-ups of both sides remained the same as in the first half. It's not that any player on either team doesn't play well and doesn't deserve the starting position, on the contrary, every starter of both teams has played extremely well on the offensive end, even beyond his original level of strength.

The Lakers attacked first, and after D'Angelo Russell possessed the ball across half court, he gave the ball to Nick Young and passed it from the outside. From the right to the left, and Russell slipped to the left side of the line at the same time, 45 degrees to the ball to play back.

Eric Gordon is dead behind him, but D'Angelo Russell is a very smart player, he never comes hard, dribbles the ball, and when he finds that the Rockets' attention is focused on himself, he suddenly passes inside and outside to Nick Young on the perimeter.

Nick Young received the ball and dribbled it, adjusted his feel, and the ball dragged a little, but fortunately, it bounced in the basket a few times.

With a three-point shot, Nick Young, who had a poor hand in the game, finally made his second three-pointer and his only two athletic goals of the game.

However, he also successfully scored the score within 10 points. At this point, the Lakers trailed by nine points.

In the second half, Zhao Wei did not close his eyes again, he sat at the last place on the bench with his hands on his chest, the corners of his eyes were raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the light of interest in his eyes flickered. Luke Wharton's halftime praise for the Lakers was clearly not something the coaches they had approached would have done when they were behind, and they were clearly more energetic in the second half than in the first.

Back on the defensive end, no matter how Harden and Ryan Anderson play at the top of the arc, the Lakers' boys defend very well and don't eat their feints at all. In the end, Ryan Anderson tried to make a foul but failed, but had no choice but to hand it to Harden, who broke through the interior and gave it to Eric Gordon on the outside. Unfortunately, Eric Gordon was slow to shoot and was in violation of the 24-second rule.

24-second violation: In the NBA, the offensive time of each round is 24 seconds, and when the 24 seconds are completed, the ball is always in the hands of the offensive player, and if you don't shoot, then you will have a 24-second violation. The ball is handed to the other side.

One offense and one defense, the Lakers' boys are up. Back on the offensive end, Russell continued to use pick-and-roll breakaways to score Randle. Randle catches the ball and breaks through again. After a series of breakaways, Russell in the bottom corner was empty.

Easy mid-range throwing.

Back on the defensive end, the defense is more aggressive. Ruhrdeng disrupted Ariza's split ball.

At this time, the camera showed D'Antoni sitting on the sidelines, and D'Antoni buried his head deeply.

When he raised his head, although his face was flushed and smiling, the helplessness and dissatisfaction in the depths of his eyes were still captured by careful people.

However, D'Antoni did not ask for a timeout.

After a scramble under the basket, the Lakers defended the Rockets' offense twice in a row. Russell again used Mozgov to hit a difficult mid-range shot. His entire body was still sliding forward, and his upper body was already out of balance, at which point Russell showed off his good touch.

All of a sudden, the Lakers managed to chase the score to five points.

However, D'Antoni still did not ask for a timeout, but just got up and kept complaining next to the referee to put pressure on the referee.

He still showed a certain amount of trust in his team, and the Rockets are a mature team after all. Either way, they're a strong team to take the lead against the Lakers. The stars, including superstar James Harden, have a more mature roster that has been together for several years except for Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon and Ennis, who have just joined the team. The year before last, he also successfully reached the Western Conference Finals.

Sure enough, Harden took the lead and immediately set an example. While the Lakers were celebrating and returning to the defense, he gave the ball directly from the backcourt to Eric Gordon, who was ambushed in the frontcourt.

Eric Gordon took a step past the chasing Nick Young, and a pull-up layup dodged Randle's block again. Score the ball! The margin returned to 7 points. And Harden added another assist.

At this time, Luke Wharton's eyebrows couldn't help frowning. In professional basketball, an overall team faces a team with superstars. They're usually going to kill someone else, and if this superstar scores, you can even score thirty, forty, or even fifty points on my head. Then I admit it. If you can cast me to death, then I will admit it. But it never allows you to score on your own and create scoring opportunities for your teammates. In this case, there is simply no possibility of victory for your side.

Luke Wharton's head was racing, thinking about strategy.

The game on the field is still going on. On the Lakers' side, Russell and Randle maintained a good momentum and were still able to score. On the court, Clarkson, who was only one of three shots in the first half, made a sudden appearance and made free throws to help the Lakers add points. However, Harden on the Rockets' side of the court is still like a god, completely dominating the rhythm on the court. Wanting to score is like picking up something, and trying to assist is like strolling around.

Breaking through head-on, the strong body pushed away Nick Young and scored a layup.

The head-on breakthrough made countless ZG fans feel sorry for Yi Jianlian. When he first played the Warriors, when Klay Thompson broke through to the inside, Yi Jianlian made up for the defense, but missed McGee behind him. Klay Thompson made a high throw, and McGee missed the frame.

This time, it was replaced by Harden's breakthrough, Mozgov made a supplementary defense, and the same action was made, and Capela, who received the air, smashed the ball into the basket.

With a fast-paced offense and few fouls, the third quarter was like water, with only 2 minutes and 47 seconds left.

Luke Wharton's brow furrowed even more. The Rockets, who have superstars, will definitely be a nightmare for the young Lakers if they still let Harden act like a fish in water in the fourth quarter.

"Zhao Wei!" Luke Wharton shouted.

Timeout on the field. Harden's eyes froze as he saw that World Peace, his rival on the Lakers' bench, had actually stood up.

He clearly remembered the elbow he had been beaten to the first time. Harden's heart is full of fire, ready to teach a lesson to the aging world peace.

But when Harden's momentum was brewing to the extreme, World Peace smiled at him proudly, turned around and high-fived a yellow-skinned kid behind him to encourage.

This kind of unspeakable anger suffocated Harden's chest and almost broke his breath. I also wondered in my heart: "Who is this yellow-skinned kid?" Didn't the Lakers' Yi Jianlian go back? ”

"Gotta put pressure on Harden on the offensive end." Luke Wharton whispered to Zhao Wei.

"It's been ready for a long time." The corners of Zhao Wei's mouth lifted and he smiled confidently.

Luke Wharton expressed satisfaction with Zhao Wei's self-confidence, although he did not have much hope for Zhao Wei as a rookie, but he can make a little contribution, that is, success. And facing Harden is a very good workout for Zhao Wei as a pitcher.

But he didn't expect what kind of surprise Zhao Wei would bring him after he played, and he was even a little reluctant to let Zhao Wei go.

With the broadcast of the live broadcast, Zhao Wei easily stepped on the venue he dreamed of conquering.

Zhao Wei looked up at the flags fluttering overhead. The corners of his mouth raised a touch of arc, and his eyes were as deep as a deep pool, shining with the color of a bewitching streamer.

Zhao Wei came on the court just in time for the Lakers' offensive round, and he replaced Russell. In this way, the point guard position is held by Clarkson, and Zhao Wei is at the point guard position. Although Harden put Zhao Wei's defense very big, there was no one in the two meters in front of Zhao Wei. But Zhao Wei didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball, and even gave Clarkson a look and signaled him not to give it to himself.

Clarkson burst to the inside and faced the defense of two interior players, twisted his body and scored the ball.

The Rockets, as always, sent the ball to Harden.

As soon as Harden turned around, he suddenly found that there was a person in front of him, and it turned out to be the yellow-skinned kid who had just been replaced.

"Who are you?" Harden raised his eyebrows, seemingly inquiring, and his tone was more disdainful. Mocking Zhao Wei, I have never heard of the Lakers and players like you.

Zhao Wei looked at Harden with a smile, raised his eyebrows, narrowed his starry eyes slightly, showed a faint smile, and was confident and chic: "You will be scared soon." ”

"Oh." Harden dribbled lightly, he didn't expect an ordinary rookie player to dare to talk to a superstar like himself like this, "In that case, then let me weigh how many pounds and taels you have." ”

The reason why Harden did this was not only because of Zhao Wei's provocation against him, but also because of his own selfishness. Because of his time with the Rockets, Harden has more ZG players than most people in the league. I want to use Zhao Wei's strength to remotely estimate the Chinese rookie they selected this year.

The Chinese rookie has been a lot of toss with their Rockets this year, much to Harden's annoyance. In the end, in a fit of anger, he directly asked Morey to throw Beasley, who had successfully cultivated in ZG, to the Bucks. was able to stay in their training hall with a large number of people of his own as a matter of course, and almost delayed the start of Team Rocket's training camp.

Harden accelerated to the right with the dribble, and Zhao Wei followed closely beside him.

Harden's left arm to protect the ball was close to Zhao Wei at this time, and after Harden accelerated, he did not take advantage of the victory to chase and impact the inside, but made a sudden stop, and at this time he put a force on Zhao Wei's left arm.

Zhao Wei's face changed slightly, and he smiled with interest casually.

Just now, looking at this little fat man and beard from the audience, he seems to be covered in fat flesh, which is cute. Seeing that Nick Yang was easily knocked away by him, Zhao Wei thought that Nick Yang didn't know which beauty on the sidelines was distracted, but he didn't expect this little fat man to be really strong.

If it weren't for the recovery of his own strength, he might not be able to withstand the impact of his strength.

Zhao Wei returned to his defensive position.

Harden saw that Zhao Wei was fine, and he was able to return to the defensive position so quickly, and he didn't give himself a chance to shoot at all. I was also slightly surprised. As far as he knows, ZG players, especially defenders, don't have the physicality of him. Even Jeremy Lin, the yellow-skinned strongest guard he has come into contact with so far, doesn't have such power.

Even so, Harden still didn't raise Zhao Wei a little higher in his heart, after all, the most important thing here in the NBA is all kinds of people with outstanding physical talents.

Harden looked up slightly, saw that more than ten seconds had passed on the offensive time, and knew that he could not play anymore. The left hand will break through with an accelerated left hand.

At this time, Zhao Wei's defense seems to be a little slower, he and Harden are in the same straight position, in this way, Harden breaks through to the inside line and walks together, and he will definitely get rid of Zhao Wei's defense.

But when he got to the free throw line, Harden was just getting started, and suddenly found that there was a black wall in front of him.

Bang!

The violent impact prevented Harden from standing still and crouched on the ground. Shaking his head, Harden realized that it was "Big Black" Black standing in front of him.

No wonder he could hit himself, he could still stand there unharmed.

"Not bad." Zhao Wei gave Blake a thumbs up approvingly.

The score difference at this point is five points.

Shout!!!

The referee's whistle sounded just in time. Harden sat on the ground and waited for the referee to give him a free throw.

But the referee made a gesture, and Harden stood up, caught up with the referee's continuous muttering, and launched a verbal attack on the referee.

It turned out that the referee gave Harden an offensive foul without any hesitation.

World Peace stood up from the chair excitedly at this time, stretched out his palm to Zhao Wei, and high-fived Zhao Wei in celebration.

Back on the offensive end, Zhao Wei stayed outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. Although Harden's defense this time still gave Zhao Wei a distance of one meter, he had already noticed Zhao Wei. suffered a loss just now, although it was not caused by Zhao Wei, but without Zhao Wei's previous provocation, he would not be so reckless and wanted to hit the inside line, and hit Zhao Wei to give Zhao Wei some color and see. So Harden is still on Zhao Wei's head.

Zhao Wei looked at Harden, who was one meter away from him, with a smile.

"You'd better get closer." Zhao Wei reminded indifferently and kindly.

Harden's round eyes widened, which reminded Zhao Wei of a person: Zhang Fei.

Poof, I couldn't hold back, Zhao Wei laughed. (To be continued.) )
