A big win is off to a good start for the Lakers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Although Zhao Wei was depressed, depressed about his own performance, he felt that he was very depressed and did not play the basketball he wanted. But overall I'm happy, after all, my team won, that's the most important thing, isn't it!

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to celebrate, as they will be challenged by the equally strong 76ers the next day. The 76ers have played in the Utah Summer League before, but unfortunately their results are not ideal. So in the Las Vegas Summer League that they played, they brought in a lot of quality players from their own team. All of the starters, with the exception of Ben Simmons, have one or two years of NBA experience. It seems that the 76ers are planning to show off their team form in the summer league to alleviate the bad reputation that the team has brought to the team after three consecutive years of undisciplined swinging.

"Hey, boys, the 76ers have brought in some veterans to improve the team, but that shows that they don't trust their newcomers enough, are you afraid of them?" Jesse excitedly encouraged his teammates.

"Don't be afraid." All the team members shouted together.

"OK, go kick them in the ass." With Jesse shouting, Zhao Wei and the five walked to the court.

Zhao Wei walked while looking at Ben Simmons, who was also walking to the court, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable, a little helpless and depressed, but at the same time he felt very funny and magical.

"I didn't expect to have a chance to fight you so soon, I don't know if you really have the strength you had in your dreams." Zhao Wei thought as he stared at Ben Simmons with his mouth shut.

Simmons also noticed that Zhao Wei was staring at him strangely at this time, and the strangest thing was that Zhao Wei was still pouting. Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Simmons' mind, and he took a step back and covered his chest with both hands.

Zhao Wei was stunned when he saw Simmons' movements, and then smiled helplessly and awkwardly and shifted his gaze, but his actions had already made Simmons pay attention to him.

"Looks like these guys really want to trample me under their feet. So let me see what you're capable of. Simmons smiled wickedly.

At the beginning of the game, the 76ers' defense was very active, No. 12 Mycom Nair and his teammate 39 Jerami Grant first pinched Ingram, although he fouled, but then Ben Simmons caused Nance Jr.'s mistake when he received the throw-in, forcing Russell to foul tactically and hindering the 76ers' counterattack.

It is said that since the 76ers got the top pick, the performance of the entire management is that the beggars who are wandering the streets have suddenly become nouveau riche, and they directly announced before the draft that they would choose Ben Simmons as the top pick. After being drafted, he directly said that he would let Ben Simmons, who is 2.08 meters tall, be the team's point guard. However, their assistant coach seemed to be more cautious, not handing over the ball completely to a newcomer, but instead letting Maicon Nair, who has a year of experience, control the ball in the opening game. McConnell suddenly jumped up and passed the ball to Grant who was ambushed in the bottom corner for two consecutive changes of direction, but unfortunately Grant did not throw in the open three-point opportunity.

Grant has two years of NBA experience, but he's not a good fit to play in a game like Summer League because he's a defensive player. He has a defensive level above the middle of the league, but unfortunately his offensive ability is simply too weak to be ignored.

The Lakers attacked, the ball was in Zhao Wei's hands, Zhao Wei used a block, and the opponent's timely change of defense did not give Zhao Wei a chance. Zhao Wei passed back to Russell, who was pulled to the three-point line after blocking and dismantling. Russell received the ball and threw it, but the rhythm was not well adjusted and the ball did not go in.

The rebound was picked up by Simmons. Immediately rush forward at full speed. It's like being in a no-man's land. In fact, Russell yelled at Simmons as soon as he picked up the rebound: "Press him." But Zhao Wei and the others didn't react.

Although Russell caught up in time, it was a pity that the height difference was too large and did not affect Simmons' vision. Simmons tossed the ball to the basket from the three-point line. Little Nance didn't even get ready when he felt someone fly behind him. Grant's best offensive technique, the aerial relay puts the ball in the basket.

In the next 4 minutes and 13 seconds of the game, the 76ers did the same as their first offensive defense in the opening game, and No. 12 McConnell on the offensive end dribbled the ball past half court and handed the ball to Simmons, and the offense was completely organized by Simmons. Simmons has also shown what makes it possible for him to be the top pick, and his broad vision puts the 76ers' offense in order. It's a pity that the offensive efficiency of the 76ers' side is too low, including Simmons' own basket that didn't score, and even the unguarded layup didn't score.

Defensively, the 76ers showed toughness, but as the Lakers adjusted their form with the 76ers' defense, the 76ers' defense was a little more than tough. Because the referee's whistle will sound almost every round of the Lakers' offense. As long as the Lakers don't make mistakes under the 76ers' defense, then what awaits the Lakers is a foul. Because the 76ers don't care about the number of fouls at all, you have to know that the number of fouls per player in the summer league is 10. On the Lakers' side, especially Ingram, who was positive at the beginning, was taken care of by Grant, almost as long as Ingram received the ball, he was greeted by Grant's brutal physical confrontation, and even Ingram was fouled by Grant as soon as he received the ball in the backcourt. This kind of physical confrontation made Ingram very uncomfortable, and his thin body showed some disadvantages in confrontation. Even though Ingram was not afraid of physical confrontation and actively rushed to the inside to play, the effect was not good, and the opponent caused a mistake or missed the shot, or even was blocked.

Zhao Wei wanted to comfort Ingram, although he didn't have much chance in the opening period, but he was not yet subjected to strong physical confrontation. Defending him is also a third-grader, but No. 11 Nick Stauskas is a great three-point shooter, but defense is not his strong suit, and of course there are reminders from his former teammates. Let him help his other teammates defend against others. Yellow-skinned defenders like No. 10 are going to have no body, no speed. At best, you can be a pitcher. The person who gave him this advice was Ben Simmons, who had been to China before.

No. 10 is the jersey number decided by Zhao Wei. No. 8 and No. 24 were numbers that he would never have worn, so Zhao Wei chose No. 10. However, Zhao Wei saw that Ingram's mood was okay, and there was no low mood. Zhao Wei didn't say anything.

In this way, the 76ers led the Lakers by 5 points 6-1 when the Lakers called this timeout.

"Hey, hey, hey, the other party has made an attitude, do you want to run away? Remember that we are invincible. "Jesse wants to give the players a little bit of chicken blood and raise the mood of the players.

"We are invincible." It was Russell who took the initiative to stand up and gather everyone together and shouted.

"Invincible."

At the end of the timeout, the Lakers first used McConnell's defense to score a point in three seconds, and then Russell took the initiative to increase his aggression, attacked the inside, and passed to Nance Jr., who followed up head-on. Xiao Nance made a transition, and the moment he received the ball, he made a passing action, and gave it to Zhao Wei, who had been ambushed in the bottom left corner.

After Zhao Wei learned about the assistant coach's intentions in the last game, he has temporarily accepted the positioning given to him by the team. Because this team has been through a lot after Kobe Bryant's retirement. The gang had just come together, and the most important thing was to stick together to keep the team going, not just for personal desires.

Zhao Wei was completely in the empty position, after the last game, Zhao Wei has already adapted to the NBA's three-point line, just slightly adjusted, his hand was up and down, and Zhao Wei cleanly won the three points sent to his mouth.

The Lakers chased the score to 6:5.76 and the answer ball didn't score, but McConnell suddenly attacked, broke Russell, and countered for a layup.

Russell scolded in a low voice, and after receiving the ball, he made a slap on Zhao Wei's head. When Zhao Wei immediately raised the feint to ask for the ball, he suddenly blocked and completely blocked McConnell. McConnell could only watch feebly as Russell rushed inside to complete a one-handed slam. The Lakers' momentum was ignited with Russell's dunk and gradually found their form. However, Simmons' answer from the 76ers was no.

Simmons made a head-on breakaway, with a left-handed breakaway and a right-handed layup. Then there was another baseline break, and when he rushed to the basket, he did not choose to attack the basket, but with a flick of his wrist, he dexterously passed the ball to Lu Awu who cut in on the other side, and Lu Awu put the ball in the basket. The score was once again stretched to five points.

The Lakers were forced to request a timeout. Jesse is ready to lay out some tactics for the players.

"Russell, try to shoot as little as possible from the outside. Break through to the inside and then distribute the ball to the outside. Jesse said, pointing at Russell.

Back on the pitch, both sides made some substitutions. On the Lakers' side, Zhao Wei and Zubac were replaced, while the 76ers' side replaced Simmons.

Without Simmons, the 76ers are not as fluid on offense as they used to be. The Lakers maintained the chase with a three-point run from CBA killer Jabari Brown.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 14:13 and trailed by only one point.

In the first half of the second quarter, Jesse fielded an all-up bench lineup led by Anthony Brown, but Brown was not an offensive player and his shooting was always a problem. Although the 76ers also sent a bench lineup, they also had players with NBA experience on the bench. The two sides went back and forth, but overall the 76ers had the upper hand. Four minutes passed, and the Lakers trailed by six points at 21-15.

Jesse, who was very confident in the Lakers' lineup this time, chose to gradually change to the starter at this time, and the 76ers also replaced their starting five.

The two sides once again engaged in a tug-of-war, with the Lakers relying mainly on team offense and the 76ers relying on Ben Simmons' organization to attack.

Although Ingram finally opened the quarter, he only scored three points with free throws, and all of his shots were missed. So even with the three points, Ingram's mood at this time was a little low, and even a little annoyed. Compared to Simmons, although he is not very reliable in terms of shooting and scoring, his exquisite passing has won him a lot of praise.

Accelerating to break through, he can make a sharp stop and at the same time pass a good ball to the ground. On the counter-attack, he can pay good attention to his teammates in the open space outside the three-point line and pass the ball past.

"Brother." Zhao Wei saw that Ingram was in a low mood, and when Ingram made free throws, he wanted to come over and comfort Ingram, "I'll return it for you later." ”

"No, my own business, I'll have to come back." Ingram firmly refused, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

Zhao Wei returned to the three-point line and suddenly thought of something. Ah, he slapped himself on the forehead in frustration.

What I just said was really brainless. In this case, what Ingram needs is confidence, and behind what he just said just now is that Ingram can't beat the other party, and he stands up for him.

Such words are undoubtedly a contempt for a teenager like Ingram who has been named a genius since he was a child.

The match continued, and Zhao Wei did not have a chance to apologize to Ingram. The 76ers relied on Simmons' talent to stretch the score to five points at halftime.

30:25.

"Hey." In the tunnel of players, Zhao Wei shouted to Ingram.

"Hey." Ingram looked a little embarrassed when he saw Zhao Wei.

"Hey, bro, I'm sorry." Zhao Wei sincerely apologized.

"Hey, bro, it was my fault just now. I know you're well-intentioned. You know, I didn't mean that. Ingram said embarrassedly.

"I believe in you, we don't know how many difficulties we have faced before, we have all stepped through step by step. This is another challenge for us to climb the ladder, and I am sure you can make it through. Zhao Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you." Ingram held out his hand to Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei also held Ingram's hand, and the two bumped into their chests. smiled at each other.

In the locker room, Jesse paced back and forth, his eyebrows furrowed. He was thinking about how to restrain Simmons. Although they were only five points behind in the first half, they did not limit Simmons at all.

"Coach." Zhao Wei's voice interrupted Jesse's thoughts.

"What's the matter?" Jesse's tone was not very good.

"In the second half, I wanted to defend Simmons." Zhao Wei said firmly.

"Huh?" Jesse was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you want to defend Simmons?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Wei nodded seriously.

Jesse looked at Zhao Wei and thought that Zhao Wei's height of two meters was shorter than Simmons's two meters and eight, but in this case, Zhao Wei's pace might be faster, and it could be worth a try.

"Well, in the second half you keep an eye on Simmons. If he gets inside, switch guards and hand him to Nance Jr. ”

"Yes." Zhao Wei smiled slightly. This is a way to help his brother out of the predicament. Offensively, you break through on your own. I'm going to put the people you compare to death and make you feel as little stress as possible. As for himself being a rookie, Zhao Wei didn't think about it. Because the noun of the 28th pick means that he doesn't get much attention. (To be continued.) )
