O'Neill couldn't help but laugh when he heard the two talking about bets, and when he saw Barkley suddenly become cautious.

Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at him blankly.

What's so funny?

Could it be that something embarrassing happened on the field?

They took a closer look at the field, it was still timeout, nothing was happening.

What the hell is going on?

Faced with the doubts of the two, O'Neill laughed more and more, and finally couldn't help but slap the table.

finally stopped laughing, and then he said, "Charles, I'm sorry for you!" If only I hadn't missed that game, you wouldn't kiss that damn ass! ”

Smith reacted immediately, and after O'Neal, he also began to laugh.

And Barkley, who was scarred by O'Neal, suddenly stinked in his face. Looking at these two nervous guys, his mood was gray.

If he wasn't commentating on the game at this time, he might have to find a corner and draw circles.

When Buckley secretly slandered himself, Smith, who had finally stopped laughing, provoked Barkley, "How's that, Charles, do you feel like your heart is burning with anger?" Do you want to take revenge on me? ”

"Come on, then come and bet with me!"

"So I asked you what the stakes were."

Barkley was not as excited as Smith had imagined in the face of provocation, and his eyes sparkled like a dangerous beast.

The so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope. Barkley suffered a blood loss on the bet, and when he heard the person who made him suffer said that he wanted to bet, he naturally had to be cautious.

And most importantly, he showed these cautions to the fullest in front of Smith.

Noticing Barkley's caution, Smith took it to heart. He decided to pit the other party again!

"Since you want to be ashamed, I'll give you this chance. How about we use that bet again? Whoever loses is going to kiss the ass of the donkey! ”

A flash of pain flashed in Barkley's eyes, and then it disappeared, replaced by a touch of madness.

"It's okay, but I think it's too simple and needs to be changed. Why don't we bet on winning or losing the game, but block the data of a certain person's whole game? ”

Smith looked at Barkley's expression and struggle, and his face was smug and felt like he had succeeded in a treacherous plan, "OK! I'm totally fine! Since that bet was on Yao's score, let's bet on Yi's score tonight! ”

"You set the scoring criteria."

Smith's generosity apparently stems from feeling that Barkley is at a disadvantage.

Barkley looked like a red-eyed gambler, "I think he definitely scored more than 29 points!" ”

Smith didn't think about it and said, "Then I'll block his score below 29 points!" ”

Huh, wait-

Smith seems to have realized that he had said something wrong!

He glared at Barkley and asked, "You said Yi could score 29 points tonight!" ”

Barkley didn't answer him, but O'Neal interjected, "That's right, that's what he said, and you also said that the Chinese kid didn't score 29 points tonight." ”

O'Neill said with a wicked grin.

When Smith heard this, he was struck by lightning.

He's been pitted!

I was pitted by this big fat man of Barkley!!

Barkley pretended to be red-eyed and crazy just now, but now he is smirking evilly, where is the gambler who loses his mind?

Smith had countless words that began with F in his mind, but he couldn't do anything about Barkley.

How can he regret what he said in front of the fans and in front of the national audience?

Even though he was already drowning in the tide of remorse at this time!

How can you not regret it!

Yi Feng is now the league's leading scorer!

Played 11 regular season games and averaged 34 points per game!

That's 5 points higher than the standard of 29 points!!

Not surprisingly, his bet will definitely lose.

What could happen?

This is the home court of the Lakers, and Yi Feng can't be blown a black whistle or sent out on the court.

And defending him is DeMar DeRozan, who has a good offense but not a strong defense, and can't stop Yi Feng's scoring......

Smith felt a little discouraged, and if he wasn't commentating on the game right now, he would have wanted to find a corner to cry silently.

The tide has turned!

Life is so wonderful, there is only a thin line between the pit and the pit.

Barkley and Smith formalized their bets and returned their attention to the game. Although Yi Feng is now averaging 34 points per game, he has also scored less than 20 points in the past. It seemed like Smith was losing money, but it wasn't. The decision is all up to Yi Feng.

With the score tied at 18:19, the Lakers called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Lakers lineup remained unchanged, and on the Raptors' side, head coach Devin Casey replaced veteran Luis Scola with Bismarck Biyombo.

Since Scola left the Rockets, whether it was with the Suns, the Pacers, or the Raptors this year, his playing time has been greatly reduced. After all, he is a veteran in his thirties, and his physical condition is becoming more and more unable to keep up with the rhythm of young people.

In these dozen games for the Raptors, he has averaged just over 20 minutes per game. Although he occupies the position of starting fourth, it is a fake starter.

Biyombo is a Congolese native who was drafted by the Kings with the No. 7 pick in 2011 to enter the NBA.

He's got incredible reach, he's athletic, he's got great blocking, and he's a shock on the defensive end. And the timing and reaction of the block are very good, and it is an inside line that many breakers are unwilling to face.

His arm span is almost the longest in the NBA. WITH A HEIGHT OF ONLY 206CM, HE SUFFERS A LITTLE IN THE INNER LINE, BUT HIS ARM SPAN OF 234CM MAKES HIM LIKE A FISH IN WATER IN THE INNER LINE. Such a ratio of height to arm span is rare in history.

Although Biyombo has defense and rebounding, his offense is a mess, and even his free throw shooting rate is only about 50%. Why did Raptors head coach Casey replace him at this time? What exactly did he think?

I couldn't understand Casey's layout, but it didn't prevent Scott from appreciating his disciple's offensive performance.

Perhaps Kobe Bryant communicated with Scott, and Yi Feng did not receive the defensive task given by the head coach during the timeout. Instead, Scott let him play more with the ball.

At this time, Kobe Bryant no longer had much desire to attack, and Yi Feng naturally took over the team's offensive banner.

Holding the ball and facing DeRozan, the top scoring guard in the East, Yi Feng's heart was turbulent.

Although there are many stars in the league, there are not many stars in the scoring position. Today's NBA, from the small forward era in previous years, to the point guard era, and the era of the division guard is long gone.

In the current NBA, DeRozan can be said to be the top point guard in the world. But ten years ago, he was nowhere near the top.

Yi Feng sighed a lot of times, why he wasn't born 10 years earlier, so that he could catch up with the peak of super scoring guards such as Kobe. What a blessing it would be to be able to play against them at their peak!

However, this is just fantasy.

In today's league, it is not easy to find a decent opponent in the second position. Therefore, Yi Feng cherishes the counterpoint with DeRozan.

In the face of DeRozan's defense, Yi Feng lightly tried to move.

DeRozan was a little emotional, worthy of being Kobe's hand-picked successor, and he really had a bit of Kobe's charm when he used the tentative step.

And Yi Feng took advantage of the moment when DeRozan was stunned, and the tentative step directly became the first step of the breakthrough, and the powerful explosive power burst out at once, so that DeRozan, who was unable to react, was passed in one step.

DeRozan was one of the most physically fit players in the class of 2009. His speed, his explosiveness, his bounce, all at the top of the game.

Although he was broken through by Yi Feng because he was stunned, he did not watch his opponent score, but actively pursued the defense.

Since DeRozan entered the NBA, he has been improving, both offensively and defensively. Of course, he has improved a lot less on the defensive end than he has on offense. So his defense has always been criticized.

In fact, many people don't understand why DeRozan has such good physical fitness and is powerful on the offensive end, but has no presence on the defensive end.

It stands to reason that he should be a top wing defender!

In fact, defense is not only based on physical fitness, but also on defensive awareness and defensive willingness. DeRozan is criticized for his lack of concentration on the defensive end and his distraction.

As soon as his consciousness moved up, the opponent took the opportunity to break through his defense, and only after reacting did he hurriedly chase after him. At this time, they have lost their best defensive position.

Just like defending Yi Feng now, although DeRozan is chasing closely behind, he actually has extremely limited interference with Yi Feng.

Fortunately, this is a 5-on-5 basketball game, and if it is a one-on-one bullfight, then DeRozan is basically out of luck.

After DeRozan's loss in this link, the Raptors' defense did not collapse, and Biyombo, who had just come on the court, actively made up for it.

That's exactly what Raptors head coach Casey intended.

Luis Scola is already a veteran, attacking with all his might in the first eight minutes of the first quarter, and his physical strength has been exhausted. If he is still on the court, then his offensive efficiency will inevitably decline.

It's better to replace Biyombo and strengthen the defensive ability of the inside.

The Lakers' offense is mostly launched with breakouts, and Biyombo is a top-tier movement among the big ones, which allows him to keep up with the small ones' breakthroughs.

Casey replaced him, and there was also the intention of letting him interfere with the Lakers' super offensive firepower on the outside.

Yi Feng accelerated in stride, and although Biyongbo pounced quickly, he couldn't completely block his route.

Turning around during the march, Yi Feng wiped Biyombo.

Among the interior players, Biyombo, who has the top agility attribute, was quickly bypassed by Yi Feng like a stake at this time.

Turning around Biyombo, Yi Feng faced the basket. After the jump, a light basket is released, and the basketball rolls obediently like a net bag.

Yi Feng's goal rewrote the score to 18:21, and the Lakers' lead came to 3 points.

As soon as Yi Feng's goal was scored, the reaction on the sidelines on the commentary bench immediately became intense.

Kenny Smith sighed, Barkley was elated, and O'Neill was a serious commentator, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

After the switch between offense and defense, the Raptors' offense was no longer initiated by the interior.

After Lowry advanced to the front court with the ball, he raised his right hand high and made a gesture, and after his teammates understood it, he began to run and practice the tactics that he had practiced countless times.

After a complex run of about 10 seconds, DeRozan got the opportunity to cut to the basket in the air.

Valanciunas, who was holding the ball in the high post, flicked the ball into the hands of DeRozan, who was cutting in the air.

After DeRozan got the ball, he was able to accelerate again! And with him almost facing an empty basket, it was already obvious what he was going to do next.

Yi Feng, who was chasing behind him, gave up the idea of chasing the hat and slowed down.

Although he defends well, he can't defend every attack. This kind of ball that I know I can't prevent, so I let him in, just to save some effort.

Moreover, in Kobe's mansion a few days ago, he had decided not to spend too much energy on defense for the rest of the season.

DeRozan took off on the white line of the reasonable collision zone, and after the body pulled back, after a short glide, the right hand that grabbed the ball suddenly buckled!

A gliding tomahawk clasp appears.

At 20:21, DeRozan helped the team to bite the score.

As Byron Scott paced on the sidelines and saw the Raptors' offense start to get complicated, he gradually understood the intentions of opposing head coach Devin Casey.

He thought to himself that if the focus of the attack was shifted to the perimeter, then Younas Valanciunas should be replaced soon.

Sure enough, after two more offensive rounds on each side, the Raptors replaced Valanciunas.

However, by this time, it was also rotation time, and Scott withdrew the main lineup.

The two sides played well off the bench, but the Lakers at home had the advantage, Marcelo Hurtas seemed to have a tendency to incarnate Nash tonight, with a terrifying horseback archery on the move, and the following steady and cautious passes became super bold tonight, with several unexpected balls.

Thanks to Hurtas's excellent play, by the time the main team returned in the second quarter, the Lakers' lead had reached 8 points.

At 32:40, the Raptors trailed away, and at this time, 4 minutes and 13 seconds had passed in the second quarter.

At this time, the Raptors changed the lineup, not all of the starting five at the beginning, but a mixed lineup composed of Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Patrick Patterson and Biyombo.

In fact, judging from the more than a dozen games played by the Raptors this season, their interior players, such as Scola, Valanciunas, Biyombo, Patterson and others, do not have a very clear distinction between the main force and the bench, and the playing time is about the same.

Maybe it's Devin Casey experimenting with his new tactics and new lineup, wanting to see who works better with whom.

On the contrary, the lineup on the Lakers' side is very fixed, the main force is the main force, and the bench is the substitute.

While it can be seen that Scott has done a lot of homework before the start of the season, he has also rejected some whimsical possibilities by setting the roster to death in this way. Some surprises won't come along. (To be continued.) )
