Chapter 106: The Crazy Youth Army
The Lakers stared at the 76ers opposite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info Ingram received the ball and hit it twice with his back and hit back to Zubac at the free-throw line, who scored two points on a clean mid-range shot. Ingram's pass this time just gave Zubac a chance to face Grant, which can be regarded as Zubac's counterattack to Grant, and it is also the clarion call for the Lakers to officially start a counterattack.
Shout!!! But at this moment, Jesse's side made a move. He followed the pre-match steps and replaced his starter on time. Russell, Zubac, and Ingram were all replaced. Only left Zhao Wei and Xiao Nansi on the field with a group of substitutes to play. Zhao Wei had a rebellion against Jesse for the first time, although the rotation was correct, but he didn't notice that his substitution extinguished the momentum that the Lakers had just burned.
The game continued to start, and Zhao Wei did not give the ball to point guard Jabari Brown, who was substituted on the court. Zhao Wei began to control the ball himself, facing the defense of Stauskas, after Zhao Wei changed direction two times in a row, when he accelerated to the inside to attract defensive attention to himself, he suddenly slowed down and flicked his wrist, and the ball accurately passed to the ground from behind to the little Nance who was following him. Little Nance is a runner from in, after receiving the ball, bang two big strides, more than two meters away from the basket, little Nance soared into the sky, the ball was held high in the air by him like a round of scorching sun shining on the entire arena, the body stretched, every muscle remained tight and full of infinite strength. With an indomitable momentum, blast the ball into the basket.
Wow!!! The entire arena let out an exclamation of wonder at Nance Jr.'s dunk.
After Nance Jr. landed, his eyes sharply pointed at Zubac under the field. Zubac finally smiled.
After the 76ers failed to attack, Zhao Wei took over the ball again, accelerated the counterattack, and played the 76ers in a timely manner. Nance Jr. was 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the left side, and Zhao Wei made a direct pass to Nance Jr. just past the halfcourt.
Nance Jr. did not hesitate at all, and the rhythm of the action was perfect, and he scored three points with a knife in his hand. The score gap between the two sides was instantly chased to 10 points under the activity of Nance Jr.
At this time, the 76ers, who had just been beaten in an instant, came back to their senses. On the way to Simmons' breakthrough on the left, he followed his own breakthrough route and passed the ball to McConnell in the bottom corner on the right side, and McConnell hit the inside again, and when the Lakers' defense was all compressed, he lowered his head and drilled out and passed the ball to Stauskas, who had been waiting on the outside.
Stouskas's three-point shot is accurate, but since he entered the NBA, the shooter can control the ball, can break through, and the only unreliable thing is shooting. But when the god of luck is attached to you, none of this matters. When Stauskas took his shot, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time. 3+1.
The score was pulled back to 14 points again.
With a 14-point deficit, the Lakers ended the third quarter.
"Coach. In the fourth quarter, I wanted to play the whole quarter. As soon as Zhao Wei got off the field, he invited Jesse to fight.
Russell and a few others also stood up, and the battle intent in their eyes also showed that they had the same thoughts as Zhao Wei at this time.
"I'll talk about it later." When Zhao Wei first came over to invite the battle, Jesse was angry. At halftime, Zhao Wei vowed to defend Simmons, but Simmons was still a dragon in the third quarter, turning the Lakers' defense upside down. I wanted to scold Zhao Wei, but Russell and a few others all stood up like the trend, Jesse knew that with his current status, he could be Heng against Zhao Wei, but against Russell and Ingram, then he would not be able to eat and walk around. You must know that Russell was still regarded by the Lakers as the core of the team's future team last season when the video door was exposed.
"Coach." Zhao Wei said eagerly again.
"Sit down. Sit down for me, a few of you. "The mud bodhisattva is still a little hot, the tiger is not powerful, I am really a sick cat, Jesse shouted loudly, "The summer league is set up to train players, and the time is given to a few of you, how can other players play." Sit down honestly for me, and when I let you play, you will play, and if you don't want to play, sit down for me. ”
Although Zhao Wei returned to the bench. Hearing Jesse's words, he looked at him like an idiot. This guy really doesn't have a good brain, how could the Lakers hire such a coach, and even make him the chief assistant coach. Didn't these words deliberately split the team at the critical moment of the game!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jesse really did not send Zhao Wei and other five starters to the court. A bunch of bench players on the court against the 76ers' bench. But the 76ers have some NBA experience player Lu Awu. And on the Lakers' side, Brown is sitting off the court.
Zhao Wei could only sit on the bench and watch the 76ers continue to expand their score advantage. After Luawu hit back-to-back inside shots, the Lakers' margin was extended to 20 points. And the game time is decreasing by the minute.
Jesse finally couldn't sit still, because he had already sneaked a sneak peek at Kupchak and Wharton in the seats behind him, and their faces were slowly darkening.
Zhao Wei and the other five were finally replaced at one time. The live media broadcast was also surprised by the Lakers' substitution, generally not garbage time will not appear in this kind of substitution, the substitution on the Lakers' side is obviously their main lineup, not on behalf of the Lakers to give up, start garbage time. Then there is only one statement, the coach is extremely dissatisfied with all the players on the field. However, there was no Zubac among the five people who came on the field, but Brown was replaced.
In this case, Nance Jr. became the No. 5 position, Ingram became the No. 4 position, and Zhao Wei was also pushed to the No. 3 position. In this way, after Simmons came on the court, it became the real confrontation between Zhao Wei and Simmons.
The coach of the 76ers came with the heart of an upstart, and when he saw the main force of the Lakers on the court, he didn't care at all and continued to let the bench squander.
But within a minute, his face turned green. He didn't expect the Lakers to chase points so quickly. There wasn't much tactical coordination, and with just two simple pick-and-rolls, Russell hit two three-pointers in quick succession. Brought the score back to 14 points.
The 76ers coach quickly changed his main lineup. It's a pity that the Lakers blew the horn of counterattack with Russell, and the momentum of the whole team rose.
Zhao Wei controlled the ball at the top of the arc and changed direction continuously, and suddenly accelerated past Simmons. Simmons reacted quickly and immediately chased after him, but Zhao Wei suddenly slowed down, and Simmons was unexpectedly bumped into Zhao Wei. He was blocked at this time, and Zhao Wei accelerated again, stopped his hand sharply, and scored two points.
Simmons was disdainful of Zhao Wei's provocation. Ready to teach Zhao Wei a lesson.
He wanted to teach Zhao Wei a lesson with the same action, so Simmons also continued to change direction in front of Zhao Wei to dribble, and suddenly changed his speed to break through to the right side, but at the moment when he changed direction, Zhao Wei also moved, like a cheetah, with a low center of gravity, boom..., with a hard foot, the sole of his shoe and the floor screamed, and he pressed the ball to the ground with one palm. At this time, Nance Jr. was already about to fall. Zhao Wei had an advantage over Simmons, who found out that he dropped the ball and turned to grab the ball, so he picked it up and threw it to the front court.
Nance Jr. received the ball and started directly, and it was a gliding dunk like the third quarter, although the strength this time was not as good as the last time, but the gliding distance was farther, and once again detonated the whole court. Nance Jr. is like the glue between the team and the spectators, holding the fans and the team together.
Simmons has a high ball IQ, and he's a very good guy for his emotional regulation. He quickly calmed down.
But once Simmons dribbled to the frontcourt, he found it difficult to get the ball out. Zhao Wei once again used the same method he used once on himself in the third quarter, completely emptying himself, a full two meters away from him. And the other four players of the Lakers are the remaining four players who are stalking the 76ers. They don't have the slightest chance to catch the ball.
Simmons failed to get the ball out of the way on several consecutive attempts. In desperation, Simmons prepared to attack on his own. The two-meter gap Zhao Wei gave him was enough for him to shoot easily, but he still chose to break through. An acceleration, Zhao Wei followed. Simmons hit the side of the rebound, and the whole person was level with the rebound.
That's when he was ready to go to the basket, his body twisted back, and the ball was switched from his left hand to his right hand, making the same awkward play as in the third quarter. The ball bounced out obediently as in the third quarter.
The Lakers grabbed the rebound and attacked again. Russell saw Zhao Wei's organizational skills during the trial, and handed the ball to Zhao Wei with confidence. Zhao Wei got the ball and rushed quickly, not giving the 76ers enough time to defend. With the help of Xiao Nance's blocking, Zhao Wei's position at the top of the arc changed direction continuously. Finally shook off Stauskas's defense and scored with a three-point shot.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Wei glanced back at Simmons, who had just run back, and smiled slightly. Simmons' offensive skills are really lacking in comparison to his playmaking ability. There aren't many techniques that can be used on offense, and a few attacks to the basket are monotonous breakthroughs followed by right-handed layups.
After coming back, the Lakers still maintained this kind of defense. However, Simmons chose to break through the middle this time, and after successfully squeezing Zhao Wei, it seemed that he was going to attack the basket, but after Nance Jr. couldn't make up for it, he pulled the ball back to his waist and stuffed it to Grant, who was more than ten centimeters away from him.
As Grant was about to get up, he suddenly noticed a hand reaching over his side. Zhao Wei made up for it in time and wanted to cut Grant's ball.
Grant lifted the ball for a while, avoiding Zhao Wei's cut ball, and then jumped. But he didn't notice that his meal just now had given little Nance time to prepare, and little Nance had already jumped up in the air waiting for Grant.
As soon as the Grant ball was exposed, he was slapped off the court by Nance Jr.
“nice!!!” Zubac jumped up from the bench, excitedly threw the towel in his hand, and shouted.
Russell still handed the ball to Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei still took advantage of Xiao Nansi's blocking and dismantling, and suddenly accelerated to the inside line. Nance Jr. cut to the inside, at this time, Grant should be defending Zhao Wei, but he held a grudge against the big hat he had just eaten, thinking that Zhao Wei would hit the ground to give Nance Jr. down, so he followed Nance Jr. away.
Zhao Wei grabbed it and passed it to Ingram, who was waiting outside. Ingram scored his first athletic score of the game with a long-range two-pointer.
After Holmes missed another basket, Ingram grabbed the rebound and pushed himself. He made a three-point stop and scored the ball, but unfortunately stepped on a little line and was awarded two points. However, with these two attacks, Ingram regained his confidence. In another attack, take the initiative to play singles. It was McConnell who defended him after seeing the switch. Zhao Wei decisively gave the ball.
Ingram took advantage of his height to hit a back-to-back jumper, and the ball bounced twice in the basket before it went in.
The Lakers managed to take advantage of a wave of high tide to chase the score to 1 point. And they took just five minutes. There are two minutes left in the game.
The 76ers called a timeout. Although a timeout was called, Zhao Wei looked at it, and it was Simmons who was arranging his teammates on the 76ers' side.
Zhao Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly. The 76ers just got a top pick, but their performance was too contemptible. They really became nouveau riche, and suddenly became rich, and they had no idea what to do with it. This kind of person is the saddest.
The atmosphere on the Lakers' side is not very good. The teammates were unhappy with Jesse's personnel transfer, and Jesse was dissatisfied with the players, believing that they had deliberately lost points in order to have such a comeback.
If Zhao Wei and the others knew what Jesse was thinking at this time, everyone would definitely scold.
, do you think our heads are made of muscles? We have the ability to beat our opponents to death with a stick, why should we fight back after our opponents beat us half to death!
"Zhao Wei, fight according to what you think in your heart." As he walked back to the court, Russell whispered to Zhao Wei.
After the timeout, the 76ers' mind calmed down first, and there was no panic when they were quickly chased down.
After Nance Jr. missed a mid-range shot, McConnell took the rebound and threw it directly to the frontcourt, and Simmons, who had already sprinted, received the ball and dunked directly. It can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.
When Zhao Wei controlled the ball, Simmons pressed up and pressed fiercely. Nance Jr. was just about to come up to cover, and Holmes followed. But he didn't leave with Xiao Nansi, but suddenly rushed towards Zhao Wei, and the two big ones with a height of more than 2.08 covered Zhao Wei at once. Zhao Wei couldn't see where his teammates were at all. The two were fiercely snatching Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei tried his best to protect the ball, but wanted to pass the ball out, but Simmons and the two didn't even give Zhao Wei a little space. Seeing that the time of five seconds was about to expire, Zhao Wei jumped up violently under the attack of the two, although it was not high, but it was enough for him to see his teammates. The ball was thrown by Zhao Wei with all his might.
Not enough power, Russell ran in the direction of the ball and received it with McConnell first. Russell turned his back against McConnell after a series of changes of direction, hitting twice in a row and turning around one later. Golden Rooster Independence, Nowitzki's classic signature move. Throw the ball in. The score is still one point off.
