Patterson was puzzled, "What's the basis for what you're saying?" ”

"You can't just because you became a fan of the Chinese kid, and then start touting him without discipline!"

"He's just a rookie who hasn't proven himself yet!"

"Maybe he's another big parallel after Kwame Brown!"

Billy said, "For the sake of our friends for many years, I forgive you for your slander this time." ”

"You know, it's common sense not to speak ill of his idol in front of brainless fans!"

"Of course there is! As I've said before, Yi is able to play super without hindering his teammates' performance. Such star teammates who don't possess the ball will definitely have an unparalleled attraction to those All-Stars who want to win the championship together! ”

"Yi has such a trait, which makes him go faster than others on the road to winning the championship!"

"Wait!" Patterson hurriedly shouted to stop, "You just said that the Chinese kid is a star player, right?" ”

"Do you think you can become a star player by relying on the media hype? Don't say anything about his super talent to perfunctory me. Without the support of his performance on the field, how could a Chinese kid become a star player! ”

"Yi's talent is well known! Okay, since you say that, then I won't talk about talent," Billy pointed to the statistics in the first quarter, "but you see, isn't this Yi's on-court performance?" Do you say that such a statistic can't support Yi to become a star player? ”

"It was just a brief outburst of his!" Patterson's mouth was very stiff, "And there is a saying in China that doesn't say, 'Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year'?" ”

"If you look at the NBA players, who hasn't had their own highlights? This short section of time can't tell the story! ”

Billy said: "Okay, then you wait and see how Yi shocks your eyeballs next......"

The two commentators quarreled, but the game on the field became a little one-sided.

The Jazz's two main interior linemen, Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, were not on the court, and the Jazz looked extremely uncomfortable on both offensive and defensive ends, unable to play and defense.

The Jazz aren't known for their offense, they're the best defensive team in the league. However, the team's two interior defensive gates were unable to play, making the Jazz's defense extremely fragile and breaking like a piece of oiled paper.

After the Lakers broke through the outside defenders, the help and complement defense on the inside couldn't come up, or they didn't come in time. In the end, either the opponent is fouled and sent to the free throw line, or the opponent is sent to the basket.

Scott saw this situation and made the Lakers and a bunch of young people desperately rush in. His quick and timely on-the-spot reaction helped the team to keep the rhythm of the whole game and suppressed the Jazz in the first half!

At halftime, the Lakers led the Jazz by 16 points, 58:42.

Relying on the breakthroughs of young players such as Yi Feng and Clarkson, the Lakers played quite methodically in the first half.

The player can't score directly on the first break, so he quickly splits the ball to form a second or even third break, or he can shoot directly if there is an open space.

In the first half, the Lakers could be said to be the main outside, and the interior players hardly got many shots.

After Yi Feng scored 21 points in the first quarter, he didn't shoot much, and focused more on strategy and defense, scoring 25 points on 7-of-12 shooting in the half, and adding 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals; Jordan Clarkson had eight points and two assists and two rebounds. Most of their assists are obtained after attacking the inside and sharing the ball to the outside shot.

Bryant hit 3 of 8 shots and scored 11 points, as well as a half-high 5 assists, which was very efficient. And it seems that he is gradually transforming, from the main attacker to the assistant. Both from the number of shots and the number of assists, it speaks for itself.

In addition, Roy Hibbert had four points and five boards, and Julius Randle had eight points and seven boards.

The Lakers' two starting interior players didn't get many shots in the first half, and most of the points came from the rebounds when they actively fought for rebounds in the frontcourt.

Yi Feng and they will occasionally pass an assist directly into their arms, and at this time, they only need to dunk in the face of an empty basket. Randall, in particular, who moves faster, gets more opportunities than Hibbert, who seems to have added an aura of sluggishness.

Marcelo Hurtas came off the bench with 0 points and 3 assists, and his occasional flash of inspiration when passing, coupled with his long flowing hair, always reminds people of the former "Son of the Wind", MVP-level point guard Steve Nash.

Nance Jr. and Anthony Brown also got a chance to play in the first half, but they just went up to show their heads, and the stats were still zero.

――――――

Jazz locker room.

Head coach Quinn Snyder had a grim look on his face and didn't say a word, his eyes scanning back and forth over the silent Jazz players.

The head coach didn't scold, which made the Jazz players more uncomfortable. Because they don't know when the manager is going to go berserk, the unknown always gives the biggest fear.

Suddenly, Quinn Snyder spoke, "I know, the absence of Rudy and Derek has made you very uncomfortable all of a sudden. Because in the past, you couldn't defend against the opposing players, but there was always Rudy and Derek behind your back to wipe your ass, and they were the last and strongest shield in our team. ”

"With them, the Jazz can have a complete defensive system."

"So, I don't blame you for the situation it is now. We conceded 58 points in the first half because the defensive system we relied on was severely weakened. ”

"And 58 points in the half is not normal for the Lakers. In the second half they will drop their percentage and then our chances will come. ”

'Rudy and Derek were sent off, which is something we don't want to see. But our Jazz team, it's not that we can't play without them! ”

Gordon Hayward whispered, "But there's really nothing we can do ......"

In the first half, because the Jazz interior line did not have a protective barrier, it was suddenly rushed by a rookie like Yi Feng, like entering a no-man's land! This made Jazz leader Gordon Hayward very faceless.

And he himself wants to defend Kobe Bryant, who suddenly appeared in the No. 3 position, and he can only sigh with joy for Yi Feng, who is making waves.

If Kobe Bryant is let go to flank Yi Feng, then Kobe will definitely not be polite to him. Although he is getting older, Kobe's ability to finish games is still there, and the killer's blood is still not cold.

And he was caught in the first game of the rookie in China, is it too much to give him face?

"Gordon," head coach Quinn Snyder said, "that Chinese kid is just a rookie, he's not as good as he looks, it's just because you guys have too many emotional ups and downs and you don't play your own strength, that's why we fell so far behind in the first half." ”

"So coach, what do you mean, we have to adjust our mentality?"

"That's right, Gordon is right!"

Jazz head coach Quinn Snyder nodded, "Let's all forget about the unhappiness of the first half, and don't worry anymore, even if we lose important comrades, we still have strong strength." The real game didn't start until the second half! ”

"Let the Lakers' rookies show us the strength of our Jazz!"

"Let's go ahead and win the game!"

Roar!

The Jazz players were lifted and their spirits began to rise.

"I'll make sure the opponent can't get another assist!"

Raul Neto clenched his fists and looked extremely solemn, as if he was taking an oath. He defended against Jordan Clarkson, the Lakers' starting point guard for the game. Clarkson was in the first half, under his defense, with three assists passed.

Alec Burks followed suit: "I'll teach that rookie a lesson and let him not score 10 points in the second half!" When he drives to the basket again, I'll give him a big hat and say 'Hey! Rookie, welcome to the NBA! ’”

Alec Burks' words immediately struck a chord with his teammates.

Everyone has come from the rookies, thinking back to the rookie season, who hasn't been taught a lesson by the old birds in the league?

And now that the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, they have also changed from rookies to old birds, from the educated party to the educated party!

Now there is a chance to teach rookies a lesson, as an old bird, how can you let it go?

And this rookie is still the champion show!

Although judging from the first half, the strength of this rookie is not ordinary, and it is not so easy to learn a lesson.

But as a veteran bird, I've been in the league for a few years, and what big-name stars haven't seen it? How could you be afraid of such a small champion show as Yi Feng?

Gordon Hayward was the first to support Alec Burks, "That's right, Alec, that's what you do!" As a rookie, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs, but that Chinese kid is too arrogant! We have to teach him how to behave! ”

Trevor Booker smirked, "Alec, you'll let him break through later, and defend his shot!" When he comes in, let's wrap him back and forth to make sure he becomes a sandwich biscuit! When he is surrounded by the time, won't he let us pinch and flatten it? ”

"Yes, be sure to give him a lesson that will last a lifetime! Dare to ride Rudy as soon as he comes up! ”

"It's too arrogant for him, it's really angry if you don't teach him a good lesson!"

……

The Jazz players responded one after another, and they all threatened to teach Yi Feng a good lesson.

Quinn Snyder smiled on the side, he knew that judging from the first half, Yi Feng's strength was very strong, and it was not his own players who wanted to educate him.

But as their manager, there's no way he's going to say something frustrating to discourage them.

And he just took a lot of time to boost his morale, how could he destroy the Great Wall.

These enthusiastic players, although they can't really teach that Chinese kid a lesson, they can't help but cause him trouble. The troubled Chinese kid can't help the team more, and in the end it may be an opportunity for the team to win.

Quinn Snyder thought to himself: Chinese boy, what are you going to do in the face of players like me who are like wolves and tigers?

Byron, your wonder soldier Chinese kid is being dragged down, can you still hold on to the lead? What else can you do?

Quinn Snyder pulled open the locker room door, the real game is only about to start now!

Lakers, are you ready?
