Chapter 172: Downwind
The Lakers made adjustments, and the Pelicans made changes to their roster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, the team's bigwigs are all glass people, even if the playing time is not short, but the first half still let them rest for a while.
Zhu Holiday was substituted, after all, he had just returned from injury and couldn't let him play for too long at once. However, Anthony Davis is still on the court with several other main players playing.
Replacing Joholiday is Rookie Buddy Hield, who is also a top-pick this year.
Buddy Hield was known for his three-point shooting before entering the league and was known as Curry Jr.
came up to such a counterpoint, and it happened to be Zhao Wei and Badihilde. Zhao Wei's height has a lot of benefits. It's not that the Pelicans haven't discovered this disadvantage, but they have no choice but to keep someone on the court who can handle the ball and organize the offense.
"Did you find the basket?" As soon as the two met, Zhao Wei whispered in Buddy Hilde's ear.
"Would you like to try it?" Buddy Hild's face was a little ugly. In fact, it's not just him, but now in the current position, it can be said that except for Zhao Wei, a pervert, the rest of the rookies are still adapting to the rhythm of the NBA.
Buddy Hield has also failed to play the crazy shooting performance of his college days.
Lakers baseline serve.
Clarkson saw this opportunity and hung it up to Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei received the ball and squatted, and rushed forward, Badihild's center of gravity just moved, and he braked instantly.
The action was very neat, and he made a dry pull-up jump shot and hit a two-point shot steadily.
"Looks like you tasted it first." Zhao Wei smiled faintly at Buddy Hilde after scoring the goal, and his tone was indifferent and didn't take Buddy Hilde seriously at all.
Shout!!!
When the sound of the end of the first quarter of the game sounded, Zhao Wei and the other four people had already played a small climax of 11:4.
Buddy Hilde became a clay doll in front of Zhao Wei.
After Lucy's training, Zhao Wei is now doing movements, especially when he is moving, and his speed is significantly faster.
Zhao Wei continued to use the change of direction to turn around and shake Buddy Hield's defense, and Zhao Wei continued to break through the inside line to divide the ball.
The rest were given vacant seats.
Clarkson and Ingram hit mid-range shots in quick succession.
Ingram continued to face the opponent who was also a cut below him, and directly made an overhead pass to Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei came after receiving the ball and scored three points.
Buddy Hield couldn't get rid of Zhao Wei's kraft candy defense on the offensive end, and he couldn't prevent Zhao Wei's shooting on the defensive end.
Zhao Wei received the ball lightly, and Buddy Hield flew.
An acceleration came in, rushed to the inside line, and in the face of Anthony Davis's supplemental defense, Zhao Wei's body was stunned, and it was another point, and Anthony Davis flew out.
Take advantage of the time difference and score with easy throwing.
In three minutes, the substitute made a wave of force, and finally chased the difference to within ten points.
At this time, Gentry, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked a little ugly. It was easy for the main team to lead the score, but it was easier for the uncompetitive substitutes to lose the score, leading by 16 points in nine minutes.
But it took these guys three minutes to lose me seven points.
However, at the beginning of the second quarter, Gentry did not immediately change the lineup, but when the second quarter passed four and a half minutes, Gentry's face was completely black.
Because with Ingram hitting another three-pointer, the Lakers tied the score.
44 draws, the two sides returned to the same running line. Buddy Hield, who was kept clean by Zhao Wei in the first quarter and paid two fouls at the same time, did not play in the second quarter, but Antoine Moore, who replaced him, did not end well.
As soon as Zhao Wei received the ball and ran, even though his height was taller than the opponent, the opponent still couldn't catch up with his speed.
Only two consecutive changes of direction are needed, and if the right person can't keep up with his speed, Zhao Wei can easily break through.
This guy Ingram has played so many games before, and his performance is very average, which is not strictly speaking. But today I don't know if I also met a rookie with a high rank and wanted to prove myself. Today's hand feels quite good, the two are good friends, Zhao Wei naturally knows his shooting ability, and deliberately gave Ingram a few more balls.
Ingram hit the ball steadily.
Zhao Wei also put a few cold guns from time to time.
The efforts of the two rookies tied the score.
At the moment of the deuce, Gentry couldn't help but look at Buddy Hilde, who was sitting at the end of the bench on his side.
There was a big fire in my heart, why is it that he is also a rookie, and other people's people can shoulder the heavy responsibility of attacking, but they are just going up to play soy sauce.
Badihild also lost the opportunity to play again in this game.
Gentry immediately called a timeout, bringing on Anthony Davis and Jonathan at the same time.
Facing Zhu Holiday for the first time, Zhao Wei had already investigated all the players when he entered the NBA, and he naturally knew about Zhu Holiday's affairs and specialties, but after all, he had not really encountered it. After all, it has not been verified by actual combat, and it is impossible to talk about it without a trace of nervousness. However, Zhao Wei's heart was also a little excited. Being able to play with a master is the desire of everyone who aspires to become a master.
Zhu Holiday was drafted by the 76ers with the 17th pick in 2009, and since then Zhu has grown rapidly, especially in his crossover movement, which is accurate and fast.
Jonathan rose to fame with the 76ers and made the All-Star bench, but did not continue to play for the 76ers.
The 76ers began to make a big move, and Jrue Holiday was traded to the Pelicans in 2013 to partner Anthony Davis.
At the same time, Zhu Holdi also has a title, that is, a good man.
His wife, an ace player of the U.S. women's soccer team, was recently diagnosed with a head tumor, and he insisted on taking care of his wife until her surgery was successful, and he did not return to the game.
Zhu Holdi dribbled, and Zhao Wei forced up.
Zhao Wei was a little closer to Zhu Huodi.
Ju Holiday did not stop the ball and went straight to the bottom corner.
Zhao Wei was forced, the center of gravity was only slightly leaning outward, and Zhu Holiday suddenly turned back and forward, and slipped in with Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei was startled and chased after him quickly, but he still had to be a step slower, but his long arms could still have a little impact on Zhu Huodi.
At this time, out of the instinct of a point guard, Zhu Holiday saw that Jones on the outside was completely empty, and immediately passed it.
Thankfully, Jones didn't score.
Zhao Wei turned around and faced Zhu Holidayi's defense.
crossover!!
It's very fast, it's so tall, it's easy to do it in front of a small defender.
The three-point shot was a little stronger, and he didn't throw it.
The first time the two met, Zhao Wei did not have the upper hand, to be specific, Zhu Huodi still had a little upper hand.
Two minutes passed, and the score between the two sides was still 44 draws.
Zhao Wei and Zhu Huodi are both playing each other singles. The fight was beautiful, but no one was able to score first.
That's when the spoiler appeared.
Zhu Holiday once again used the constant change of direction in front of his body to find a little space for Zhao Wei's defense, but this time he did not choose to shoot.
Because the two have been fighting on their own before, the Lakers are a young team after all, lacking experience, and the attention at this time is on Zhao Wei's side.
No one noticed Solomon Hill slipping through the bottom line.
Zhu Holdi's ground-hitting pass, although Zhao Wei noticed it, but the ball speed was too fast, and Zhao Wei still didn't intercept it.
The moment Solomon Hill received the ball, Blake and Llarinance reacted, but it was too late.
Even though Larynans reacted quickly enough to pounce in time, he was fouled instead.
Penalty for both hands. 2+1!!!
The stalemate between the two sides was broken.
Zhao Wei is also cowardly, and a goal from the Pelicans seems to stimulate Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei received the ball and accelerated in.
Zhu Huodi followed very well, but Zhao Wei suddenly slowed down, and Zhu Huodi just slowed down.
Zhao Wei suddenly accelerated again, and a European step dodged Solomon Hill on the other side, and made a layup.
That's when Anthony Davis, the real boss of the Pelicans, joined the rest of the team and started playing.
Garroway received a return pass from Jjuholiday and hit a three-point shot.
Anthony Davis has a three-on-one inside, two plus one.
In one minute, Zhao Wei was instantly given a 6:0.
The Lakers, on the other hand, fell into a scoring drought all of a sudden, and the sound of iron continued.
Zhao Wei didn't know if it was in the confrontation with Zhu Huoledi, the physical exertion was a little too large, and the sound of iron was constantly beating.
Luke Wharton eventually replaced Zhao Wei.
Both sides are on their full lineup at this time.
The shooting percentage is still not high, but the Lakers are finally starting to score.
However, by the end of halftime, the Lakers were still beaten 12-9 again, with few three-pointers, but they still regained the lead back to 10 points.
Zhao Wei's shooting percentage in the first half was not bad, more than forty points, scored 7 points, and had two assists, and the rest of the statistics were gone. Compared to the performance of the last game, it is a lot worse.
Gentry received a report from the scouts on his side, and naturally reminded the Pelicans a lot before the game to pay attention to this yellow-skinned No. 10, but Zhao Wei's performance in the first half had to make them relax again.
I couldn't help but say in my heart: "The coach is a little too small, and a rookie is a rookie after all." ”
When Zhao Wei was replaced, he did feel the exhaustion of his physical strength. It's not that Zhao Wei's physical strength is not good enough to support such a game, it's just that the devil training with Lucy every day is too cruel, and after such a training, Zhao Wei feels that he has been stripped of a layer of skin every time, which is much more tiring than playing such a game.
"How?" Luke Wharton asked beside Zhao Wei.
"You're not worried about the scores. There's still time to care about me. Zhao Weiyan raised his head and said with a smile.
"I care that we are still 10 points behind. It's better to care about my beloved general, so that he can work harder for me even more. Luke Wharton laughed plainly.
"You're so straightforward." Zhao Wei glanced at him.
The two talked, not noticing the worry and concern on the face of Lucy, who was not far behind.
"Don't worry, my physical strength is fine." Zhao Wei comforted.
Luke Wharton smiled and walked away quickly.
Only then did Zhao Wei notice that Lucy had come to his side.
"Uh, why are you here?" Zhao Wei asked stupidly.
"In the course of the game, will there be a matter of me as a physical coach?" Lucy said angrily.
"Uh, hehe." Zhao Wei was stunned and smiled awkwardly.
"There are back-to-back games tomorrow, you pay attention to adjusting your physical strength, it's too tired." Lucy didn't say much, but explained, her tone indifferent but revealing concern.
Zhao Wei looked at the beautiful back helplessly, and sighed helplessly.
Back in the locker room, Luke Wharton was also depressed.
Compared to Anthony Davis, the Lakers' interior line is still too weak.
There is no one who wants Zhao Wei to be able to restrain Anthony Davis.
Luke Wharton anxiously paced back and forth.
"Bag clip." Zhao Wei whispered.
Luke Wharton's eyes lit up, but then dimmed. The bag is able to limit Anthony Davis, but it is bound to miss a person.
Luke Wharton looked at Zhao Wei pitifully.
"Look at what I'm doing, leave it to fate." Zhao Wei said helplessly.
"I'll go." Luke Wharton cursed.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers really used a bag clip on Anthony Davis, using Ruhr Deng and Mozgov to wrap Anthony Davis.
Although the first few offenses limited Anthony Davis, a star like Anthony Davis is not so easy to finish.
It didn't take long for Anthony Davis to find a way to hook the ball in two consecutive games against two defenders.
Fortunately, on the Lakers' side, Williams and Randle's mid-range shots helped the Lakers bite the score.
Both teams were not very efficient offensively, and after four minutes, both teams combined to get these eight points.
At the first official timeout, Gentry decisively made adjustments to the Pelicans' offense.
The Lakers were able to tie with the Pelicans at the beginning of the third quarter, compared to the first half, which was already good, Luke Walton did not make many adjustments, but just explained that he continued to maintain his current vitality and got the opportunity to make bold shots.
When the timeout returned, the Pelicans' adjustment was immediate.
Gentry shifted the Pelicans' offensive starting point from Anthony Davis to Johor Holiday. It was Ju Holiday who led the attack, while Anthony Davis was tasked with simplicity and brutality.
It is to rush to the frontcourt board when the offense misses.
As long as you grab the frontcourt board, then Anthony Davis under the basket can still get up even if you have two people to defend.
After this adjustment, the Pelicans' offensive efficiency has improved significantly, scoring the ball in two consecutive games.
Zhu Holiday's height and weight are significantly smaller than his own, and Williams still has a big advantage.
The mid-range shot was scored, and although he didn't make the second shot, Anthony Davis had a frontcourt board and scored strongly.
Fortunately, the Lakers' side felt good for a while, and they were able to bite the score and not be stretched, but the shooting was based on the feel after all. If the Lakers lose their touch all of a sudden, then the game will surely pass in one fell swoop. (To be continued.) )
