Chapter 399: Great Headwind! (3/3)

Wharton: "Zubac, are you okay with the game now?" ”

Zubac: "I'm fine, the wound on my face has long since healed. Arms don't get in the way~"

Wharton: "Nance Jr. can pick up the pass properly.

But the center and the big front must not attack!! Good job you guys do! ”

As he spoke, Wharton looked at Lan Dou and Russell with a blaming gaze.

Bryant was then deployed to play at point guard, while Nick Young played at small forward.

The Eagles took the opportunity to replace Millsap with Ilyasova.

All of a sudden, the situation became unmanageable.

Coach Budenholzer didn't smile a single time the whole time.

It's just that there is a little less anxious look on his face.

The Hawks also changed their tactics from small-ball play to Princeton tactics after this timeout!

The speed of the whole team was slowed down a lot by Howard!

After Nick Young's three-point shot, the Hawks were all waiting for Howard to return.

The monster went to the front court to get the basketball, and then threw the ball to Ilyasova!

The latter immediately got up and scored a three-pointer!

Li Feng: "This Eagles, they don't even give our team a chance to take a breather!" ”

When the score stretched to 15 points, the Eagles once again strengthened their offensive capabilities!

This season, the Lakers have changed, and they have gone from bottom of the league to top eight in the West.

But it also has a lot of enemies because of this!

Quite a few teams want to beat the Lakers! Even if some teams are not strong in themselves.

Nance: "I feel like we're going into garbage time in the first quarter......"

Li Feng: "I'll cooperate with Kobe!" ”

With a look, Kobe Bryant immediately knew what to do. At this time, you can't rely on your teammates, and you need them, the two pillars of the Lakers, to score!

Kobe Bryant received a pass from Li Feng, and then scored points on a jumper from Schroder!

Randle and Russell were unusually quiet on the sidelines at this time.

I didn't dare to speak, and I didn't dare to look at Coach Wharton......

Then came the Hawks' various passes, and after Kent got the ball, he rushed to the basket and still didn't choose to go to the basket.

Bryant was in the air to get Guy Kent, but the latter passed to the outside, and Hardaway Jr. caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

But Howard who felt it from behind made up for the deduction and got points!

The game turned directly into 2 to 5! Double-row, ah, it's!

Li Feng and Kobe Bryant continued to cooperate to the frontcourt, and then Kobe's offense successfully attracted three defenders of the Hawks, and Li Feng pulled out to catch the ball and hit a three-point jumper!

26:10! The Lakers are still trailing by 16 points at this time! Wharton walked back and forth on the sidelines.

The fans at the scene were very hot at this time.

Some left the arena directly before the first quarter of the game was played.

......

33:21! Under the crazy chasing of Kobe and Li Feng, the final score difference changed from 16 points to 12 points.

But the big headwinds of this game have come true!

Wharton: "On the field, Nick Young has to listen to Li Feng's command. The second quarter of the game was organized by him.

If you don't do what I say. Immediately go down and sit with Russell and them! ”

Nick Young: "Li Feng passes, I score~"

Li Feng: "That's right"

Wharton: "Li Feng." The second quarter of the game is up to you!

Everyone defends! Be flexible! Adjust your defensive play flexibly, not to let you run around.

Find the rhythm of the defense and try your best! to find a way to curb the Hawks' offensive tempo......"

Back in the second quarter, the Hawks' lineup on this side was Millsap, Mark, Ilyasova, Schroder and Hardaway!

On the Lakers' side, in order, Lore Deng, Zubac, Nance , Li Feng and Nick Young!

Whether it's the Spurs or the Hawks, in the regular season, you can know the importance and lethality of team basketball!

Once their team is up and running on the field, they move freely, coordinate and pass the ball.

It's hard to chase it......

And the Lakers' defense is a weak environment.

Even if the team has started to train and fight for a while, facing this type of team is also a fist on cotton, and it is impossible to use it!

In the basketball arena, the beginning is a tailwind, and even a big tailwind game may not necessarily win.

The key is to see if the side of the headwind has the patience to slowly chase the score back!

There's a reason why Wharton is so serious about this game!

On the western side, there are currently three mountains here in the Lakers!

Warriors, Spurs and Clippers!

The Warriors' three-pointers are currently difficult to resist in the whole league! The Spurs' basketball is still very good! Relying on team basketball, they can finish second in the West!

And the Clippers have a full lineup! There's a combination, there's defense, there's rebounding. The three-point ability is getting stronger and stronger!

Not surprisingly, the Lakers will play two of the three teams in the playoffs!

Wharton thinks he has a certain ability to coach the team, but he is a newcomer in the league coaching world, how can he play with Popovich, who is a "kaleidoscope of league tactics"?

The more worried he was, the more Wharton felt he had to prepare for the Spurs in advance.

And the battle with the Hawks is a great opportunity to train the Lakers!

It's really difficult for other teams to play Spurs-like tactics!

Kobe Bryant had already begun to rest at this point.

Looking at the opponent's lineup at this time, Wharton knew that this Budenholzer really hadn't gone all out.

The Lakers will still have a hard time in the later games. As long as they want to win!

Li Feng: "It's mainly about scoring!" Keep an eye out for Lore Deng's side, too! ”

Lore Deng: "Wharton doesn't mean ......"

Li Feng: "You just pull it out, get to the three-point line and there is a gap." You've got a chance to score!

Defensively, you can even lighten the force! But the score has to come first! And the efficiency should be high! ”

At this time, the players present had no opinion. Who made him have such a good relationship with Wharton......

Li Feng changed Wharton's tactical arrangement more than once, and even more than ten times. Do people have an opinion?

Nick Young didn't think much about it, just don't delay him to score~

At the beginning of the game, Li Feng dribbled over the half, and Nance Jr. was immediately blocked by Ilyasova after getting the ball!

Nick Young appeared at this time to clear the siege for Nance Jr., and Li Feng then received a pass from the black man's question mark and hit a three-point shot!

33:24! Budenholzer just sat down, and immediately got up from the stool and stood up after seeing Li Feng's three points!

Schroeder rushed over quickly, Ilyasova got the basketball, and then the basketball passed to Millsap.

The latter confronted Zubac and Lohrdeng in the bag-and-hold defense, and finally allowed Zubac to receive a foul and hit all 2 free throws!

Although Howard has already gone off the break. But the players under the Eagles basket are still very strong!

If you play against a weak team, a lineup like the Eagles will be enough!

Li Feng: "To score." But we can't rush to score, we have to let the Eagles play at our pace! ”

Watching Li Feng keep talking to his teammates on the sidelines, Wharton's anxious heart just now calmed down a little.
