Chapter 229: Team Fusion

After the team regrouped, the Lakers finished their first training session and immediately embarked on the road to the Detroit Pistons. The young people on the plane were excited about the next race.

The Detroit Pistons, after two generations of bad boys, entered a period of rebuilding. The early rebuilding was not smooth, not because the Pistons didn't have good players, but because their rebuilding strategy was a little off, which led to mistakes in the team's recruitment. Last season, the Pistons reorganized their roster and determined a lineup dominated by Andrew Drummond, supported by Jackson, Harris, Pope and Morris. Such a lineup puts the Pistons on the right path.

The Pistons currently sit in 10th place in the East and remain hopeful of a playoff season. So it's a great opportunity for them to move up the rankings by beating a team like the Lakers.

The Motor City is a bit smaller, and the atmosphere of the stadium here is not spectacular. However, it is a good thing for Zhao Wei and them, they can reduce the pressure of away and help everyone play.

As for the run-in of the lineup, Zhao Wei didn't think so.

Luke Wharton really sent Zhao Wei and LaVine as in training. The lineup of Ingram, Randle and Porzingis.

Such a lineup with an average height of more than two meters made people dumbfounded, and many veteran fans almost mistakenly thought that this was the Bucks, if it weren't for the reminder of a purple and gold jersey on their bodies.

Now, led by the Warriors, all the teams are starting to pick up the pace. Although the Pistons have a big center, they are not slow either. Jackson, who got the ball, immediately pushed forward quickly, but unfortunately his defender was LaVine. LaVine is faster than Jackson in terms of height and speed.

Looking at it this way, all the Pistons are lower in height than the opposing opponents, and if you have to say that the gap is the smallest, it is Randle and Morris. But Morris is not an interior power forward, so this height is not the same as Randle.

However, LaVine defended Jackson, and when Jackson blocked the pick-and-roll, Jackson was a little angry. Zhao Wei: They directly took the block and dismantle to replace them. The more Jackson blocked, the taller the person in front of him.

When Jackson realized that he wanted to find Laven, he found that he couldn't find LaVine anymore. Now in front of him was a yellow-skinned brat.

"You're the rookie who's been the best this year?" Jackson said with a hitch.

"Awesome? Don't dare to be," Zhao Wei smiled and said lightly.

"Young people need to be measured. Back then, we were the Thunder Four, and we were much worse than you and us in terms of talent. Jackson said, with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Are you going to catch up with me?" Zhao Wei was taken aback and looked at him like a fool, "Thunder Four Less? Do your teammates know how much you miss the original Thunder? Do you want to leave the Pistons? ”

Jackson didn't expect Zhao Wei, who was looking very kind just now, to suddenly change his face, and he didn't react a little, but he didn't react, someone reacted.

He was stunned, a purple figure was like an electric snake, and there seemed to be a crackling sound in the air.

Jackson only felt empty in his hands, and when he turned around, he could only see Laven's back. However, at this moment, Zhao Wei saw the other side of the court, and the same purple figure rushed away.

The tall figure was not like words, but it was speeding forward at a speed that did not match its height.

LaVine dribbled the ball into the three-point line and suddenly threw it into the air. Porzingis catches it with both hands and bang!! Smashes the ball into the basket.

Click!! Until Porzingis hit the ground, the hoop was still hissing.

No one expected that the Lakers' first offense was two newcomers, and it was done in such a domineering way.

One shot, announcing their arrival, also announcing the arrival of the Lakers to Motor City. This night not only blew a long-immersed purple gold storm here, but also a young whirlwind.

Zhao Wei: Their speed is too fast. As long as the ball is not scored on the Pistons' side, no matter who gets the rebound on the Lakers' side, they have the ability to immediately advance the offense.

Even Porzingis got permission from Luke Wharton, and with the rebound, he could launch a counterattack directly.

After a quarter, the Pistons were almost beaten by Zhao Wei and them.

The Pistons simply can't keep up with the Lakers. Every time, a situation of more fights and fewer fights will be formed.

Porzingis, this guy is the best at playing.

Zhao Wei advanced, Porzingis guy suddenly pulled out from the inside, and Randle's ability was enough for him to play inside.

Zhao Weiqiu immediately passed. Porzingis' height left the Pistons' defenders desperate.

Bell Bell Bell !!

Porzingis scored 15 points in the first quarter. The four three-pointers broke Porzingis' own record of hitting three-pointers in a single quarter. But such a game was clearly set up for Porzingis.

Zhuang Shen Drummond couldn't defend himself. What Zhao Wei and LaVine did was make the ball for Porzingis. Porzingisli made a sudden outside throw, which made Zhuang Shen scorched. By the time the Pistons reacted and started using Morris to defend Porzingis, it was too late. Porzingis' form is fully up. This guy is simply a pervert, who blocks and kills whoever is in the state.

After Zhao Wei broke through, Drummond defended very strictly. Drummond is the strongest interior player in the East.

He blocked almost all of Zhao Wei's shots. However, Zhao Wei was not worried. Zhao Wei threw it into the air so casually. On the other side, a tall figure descends from the sky and smashes the ball into the basket. Crushed Morris, who was about to be blocked, under him. A two-handed clasp.

The main force has the upper hand, and the Pistons' bench has the upper hand. The Lakers' original bench was the strongest in the league, although Williams was gone, but they added a veteran Ruhr Deng, and there were also Clarkson and Larry Nans and others.

Everyone at the scene was shocked. The Pistons were beaten by the Lakers and were powerless, and the person who caused such a person was the big tall man who was running on the court, Porzingis.

At the age of three and a half, the Pistons surrendered.

The Lakers ended up beating the Pistons by 20 points. The man behind this victory was Porzingis, who also set his own record this time, earning a career-high 45 points.

The remaining four starters, Zhao Wei scored 10 points and LaVine scored 6 points. Randall had eight points and Ingram had four points.

It's not a high stat, but with five starts combined, the Lakers are no longer the team that relies only on the bench. Although one game can't explain the situation, this is Zhao Wei's oath to the entire league. We're back.

There was really no problem with Porzingis' integration, although it was a big victory, but Zhao Wei still found a problem.

LaVine struggled a bit in this game, and except for a steal and an assist in the opening game, LaVine rarely showed anything.

LaVine was a point guard when he was with the Timberwolves. He's used to having the ball in his hands and the way he plays is that he needs to have the ball in his hands. On the Lakers, Zhao Wei is the point guard, and LaVine is the scoring guard.

Zhao Wei already occupied a lot of possession, and the Lakers could control the ball in several other positions, so the ball in LaVine's hands was almost negligible. LaVine struggled a bit throughout the game, receiving open shots a few times, but LaVine didn't make any shots. The six points earned are all earned through individual skill and strong play.

Just like the performance of the game, LaVine looked very depressed after the game, although he didn't say it, but everyone could see it, but this kind of thing needs to be adjusted by LaVine himself.

After playing the pistons, Zhao Wei and the others immediately began to fly back to Los Angeles. Next up there they will face a three-team challenge.

Porzingis continued his crazy performance, coming to the Lakers and completely liberating this guy.

Zhao Wei is also willing to make balls for him in order for them to better integrate into the team. After four games, Porzingis' average score in four games has reached 30 points. That's a terrifying statistic, considering that Porzingis is only in his second year, and his old rival Downs has not done it.

LaVine, who has been teammates with Downs, naturally knows how good that guy Downs is, but now he knows that this guy Porzingis is no worse than Downs.

Jokic of the Nuggets, Turner of the Pacers, and Powell of the Mavericks, all three were completely blown up by Porzingis.

Porzingis' attacking performance this season has been nothing short of insane. His shooting speed is very fast, and with that height, others can't block him at all, and it's even difficult to block his view. If he can't shoot, it can only be said that Porzingis himself did not aim.

When other teams wanted to wrap up Porzingis, the rest of the Lakers were able to step up and score at the right time. Zhao Wei's scoring average in four games has dropped to eight points per game.

LaVine was even lower, and LaVine even had only five points on the account. Raven's mood was a little low. He looked a little struggling. Every time the team attacked, LaVine felt like he was outside the team's system.

Thankfully, though, LaVine was comforted by the fact that the team had won all four of their games.

"Hey." After Zhao Wei finished playing with the Mavericks, he called out to LaVine, who had his head down.

"Hey." LaVine snorted in a depressed mood.

"You're playing well." Zhao Wei thought for a while and said.

LaVine didn't speak, his expression was a little complicated, and he looked at Zhao Wei for a while before saying, "Now I don't know if it's the right choice for me to come to the Lakers." ”

"Hey, bro, yes. This is the right choice. The team chose you because of your ability. You just haven't gotten used to it yet. Zhao Wei hurriedly comforted that it was dangerous when a player said such a thing, and his heart was shaken and he began to disbelieve himself.

"But, Porzingis?" Ravan said.

Knowing that this was the case, Zhao Wei smiled helplessly: "If he still needs to adapt to his height, we don't have to be teammates with him." ”

"Huh! Ha ha! Ravan was stunned and laughed, "You joke is so cold." ”

"Huh!" Zhao Wei was also stunned, and then said seriously, "We are brothers, blessed and shared hardships." ”

"Hmm. Blessings and hardships are shared with hardships. Lavinne paused and said seriously.

Luke Wharton has been training very intensively lately, and at its most intensive, it even reached the level of two exercises a day. And the content of training is the learning of tactics. This arrangement is designed to allow LaVine and Porzingis to adapt to the team more quickly.

LaVine also knows that every time he pulls Zhao Wei and Porzingis to accompany him to practice. But Zhao Wei suffered, and every time Zhao Wei went back, he was almost tired and paralyzed.

The team's four-game winning streak is naturally the happiest person to say is Jeanie Buss. After Jeanie Bass took the throne, she was questioned by others. Fortunately, the team immediately won four consecutive victories, which temporarily suppressed public opinion from the outside world. At the same time, it also made Jeanie Bass more curious about Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei didn't know these things, because he was still training with Laven and them. Because after the Lakers won four in a row, they welcomed their first strong opponent after being together. Trail Blazers.

However, at this time, if you want to say that the happiest team other than the Lakers, it is the Knicks.

James Dolan on the Knicks' side. The Knicks can be said to have brought it up with his own hands, and although last time he got something that he would never have gotten in his life, he sold Porzingis. He thought it was a free deal, but what he didn't expect was that although the Lakers took Porzingis, they didn't go too far and gave them Russell.

If the Knicks were to say what they had really lacked all along, it was guards. Although they got Rose this season, and Rose has played well so far, Rose has a history of injuries after all. Rose is more of a shooting guard than Russell, and the most important thing is that Rose is no longer young.

And lately, Ross and the team have had some minor frictions from time to time. This has affected the team's record to a certain extent. It's because Rose has no fear that the team doesn't dare to trade him, but now that Russell is here, it's different.

However, James Dolan is still a little worried, after all, there is still a boss Anthony on the Knicks' side. Anthony almost didn't beat Phil Jackson after hearing that the team was going to trade Porzingis.

However, all these worries were solved by one person. James Dolan almost ran to kiss Russell unhappily.

After Russell arrived at the Knicks, he was very low-key. He could have rested for two days before taking a team medical to join the team, but he did it on the same day and immediately trained with the team.

Russell's arrival pushed Rose to the point guard, which can be regarded as completely liberating Rose's offensive talent.

And Russell did not show the problems that the outside world questioned him, but looked very mature and steady. The most important thing is that after he came to the Knicks, he also averaged 20 points per game, along with six assists, helping the Knicks to four consecutive wins, and at the same time helping the team not only enter the top eight, but also rush to the sixth place in one fell swoop.
