With James, it's always easy to play.

Although the teammates are not very good. But after the timeout, James still took the initiative to step up.

20：13！ Coach Wharton's face was pulled down, and Foltz on the team also restrained a lot.

Although the current Lakers team is back to the star-studded state of many years ago, the decision on who can play and who will not is with Coach Wharton.

Booker can't stop James at all, and no one on the team can stop him now.

And now because the Lakers saw the flaws of the other party, they directly let LeBron attack alone.

It works almost every time.

Bayless got the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt, and then Li Feng received a pass.

LeBron immediately followed, and now the Lakers also know that the main ones who can score are Li Feng and Kuzma.

And Booker's point, giving him the ball basically can't get points.

Bayless received a pass from Li Feng at this time, but Fultz immediately chased after him.

Kuzma received a pass directly and was cut off by Channing while dribbling!

Then LeBron passed half court, and under the watchful eyes of the 76ers, he easily rushed over and scored with one hand!

Now James's point has really become a problem for the 76ers.

But Li Feng also told his teammates.

Although the little emperor is very good at scoring, his time on the field is now limited.

Unless Wharton wants to play the full four quarters with James all the time.

This is an overconsumption for LeBron. So there is a high probability that such a thing will not happen.

And the Lakers gradually chased the score back.

Li Feng received the ball to the front court again, and tonight he used the purple Maddie skill kit.

Compared to the Orange Skill Pack from the last game against the Warriors, this pack is a bit weaker.

But compared to the Lakers, who are not particularly good at scoring, it is still good.

After these two games, Li Feng still has to focus on passing. Like at the beginning of the season.

This is because the cooldown of exclusive skill packs has been extended.

If he throws like this again, he will strike iron frequently in the later stage.

In the face of the Lakers' bag this time, James was blocked and dismantled outside.

Li Feng got up directly and hit a three-point shot!

At this time, Li Feng, in the eyes of the Lakers, is equivalent to Curry of the Warriors!

As long as he wants, the three-point shot is very easy to get his hands on!

23:15！ The Lakers are still behind.

This is somewhat inconsistent with the idea that they crush their opponents from the beginning until the end of the game.

Not only is it inconsistent, but at the beginning of the first quarter, if there was no James, the Lakers would probably have been spent by the 76ers at this time.

LeBron still dribbled the ball across the half, and at this time, he began to consume a lot of physical energy in the first quarter of the game.

The Lakers have yet to get Davis from the Pelicans this season.

At the beginning of the season, the Pelicans abruptly reversed course, and negotiations between the two sides suddenly reached an impasse.

This time, James' shot missed, and the 76ers, led by Kuzma's speed, immediately came to the frontcourt.

Then Fultz missed again.

Bayless hits an easy three-point shot! Wharton sighed again on the sidelines, and he turned to let Thomas Jr. warm up.

Fultz was also a little panicked when he saw this scene.

The pressure on Wharton this season has not been small.

He has his own set of views on the team.

But what the management meant was to let him focus on developing Fultz. Later, Wharton agreed.

But why doesn't this Fultz look like a champion?

With the Lakers struggling, the first quarter of the game finally came to an end......

29：23！ The Lakers did their best...... Of the 23 points, LeBron scored 14 points alone......

Fans who like James are naturally so happy!

But LeBron knows that if he continues to play like this, the Lakers will not be able to last long sooner or later!

There was a break at the end of the first quarter.

Booker was about to cry when he saw that he had finally finished the first quarter.

Although he is not afraid of anyone in the league, there are still a few players who are very difficult to guard!

For example, Leonard of the Raptors, Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, and now James of the Lakers.

Although James is very old, he is so well maintained!

After such a quarter of the game, Booker felt that he had exhausted his strength to close to two quarters of the game.

Brown smiled and said a few words to him, and then asked Roportt to replace Booker, who was already starting to decline in fitness.

Strikers like them are basically defensive.

Pre-season is also not indicative of the strength of both teams. The 76ers still have no way of knowing how effective the Lakers will be.

Brown: "Watch out for the other team's coordination and LeBron's breakouts." James will have more breakouts in the early stage.

Try to defend as much as you can, and it is best to defend it. If we can't let go, we'll delay the later stage. ”

Now their 76ers team also has some confidence.

In terms of scoring, it can more or less compete with the Lakers.

In the second quarter of the game, Saric and Roporter were substituted on the 76ers' side.

Unconvinced, Fultz was replaced by Thomas Jr.

Randle remained on the court, but switched to playing power forward, with Lopes playing center.

Fultz: "I think Thomas was a great teammate when he was with the Celtics.

This is what created his image of such a powerful combat force. You can't do it after seeing the Lakers, right? ”

Qian Ning: "People don't play much games, do they?" How do you know that people can't?

Do you average points per game in terms of stats, and now you are crushing him across the board, or are you crushing Iverson back then? ”

Fultz: "...... Then let's take a look......"

When Channing heard the kid say such ignorant words, he asked him differently.

And with the eyes of what to look at, the so-called champion of this year in front of him.

Fultz: "You, why do you think of me like that?" ”

Being looked at by the veteran Channing, Fultz said with a little weakness.

Channing: "Before you say big things, you have to do it first, even like Thomas, beyond the situation where Iverson is remembered by many fans."

I think there's a lot of credibility to what he says.

But what's the use of what you're talking about? Sensationalize here like a clown?

You may still not be convinced, do you think you are the future Lakers brother? ”

Fultz: "Or else? ”

Channing: "Why do you think the Lakers would give James a 4-year 150 million+ contract if they treat you as a brother?"

Who do you think is the Lakers leader compared to LeBron's current average $3800+ $38 million+ contract a year? ”

Fultz: "I ...... That's not ......."

Channing: "Who's not?!" ”

Fultz: "......"

Channing: "And. In Los Angeles, only Kobe Bryant has been on the team for years as the main guard.

Thomas Jr. has surpassed Allen Iverson's stats back then! His team doesn't want him yet.

What's more, you're a young player who has just come to the Lakers, what capital do you have to talk about this?!

Is Jeremy Lin famous? Did you stay with the Lakers?

Is Clarkson playing well? Still in Los Angeles? Is Li Feng a cow or not? He's not our opponent now, he's leaving the Lakers.

Boy, it's not that easy to get a foothold in Los Angeles! ”

Fultz's face was flushed by what the veteran Channing said, and he didn't dare to answer a word later.

Seeing Wharton looking at him with a smile, Fultz immediately lowered his head.

He had been thinking about how to refute this guy Channing, but he couldn't figure out how to refute it.

The two teams were competing fiercely on the court, but there was a happy scene on the Lakers bench~

Fultz's face flushed from the sidelines, and after a while he got up and said a few words to Wharton before walking straight away.

I'm on leave.

Wharton: "Channing. What you just said is a bit harsh. ”

Coach Wharton, who was in a suit and leather shoes, still smiled at this time.

Qian Ning: "This era is very good. If it was the 90s, he would dare to talk like that, without some game data, he would basically say goodbye to the NBA.

Or be beaten up by your teammates one day!

The Lakers are now veterans who develop newcomers, which is good, but does not cultivate arrogant young people.

If you look at Kuzma, who was traded to Philadelphia, the rookie scoring list has been consistently in the top three.

As far as I know, this kid is a little scary. ”

Hearing Channing say this, Wharton's heart sank.

Indeed, as the veteran Channing said, Kuzma's strength was underestimated by the Lakers management.

Wharton: "If Fultz had been in Philadelphia, I guess he'd been better behaved by now." ”

Qian Ning: "You mean Li Feng?" ”

Wharton: "I don't know why. I always feel ...... We can't just let Li Feng go this season."

Qian Ning: "I think so when you say that, I think too." But I don't know what to say."

Wharton: "You say, I'll write it down if I think it's useful." ”

In the face of these experienced and steady veteran players, Wharton's attitude will be much more polite.

Channing: "Not necessarily. You can just let me gossip.

When it comes to the playoffs, it's still up to who usually plays well in the regular season, and then let him play for a while longer.

Look at little Thomas now. ”

Looking for Channing's finger, Wharton saw at this time that under the leadership of Thomas Jr., the score had become 33:31!

Channing: "James, I don't need to say more, you know. This little Thomas and Lopez are both not short of ideas to play in the arena.

Thomas Jr. is a tenacious player. It can be said that it is similar to the answer, and it is worth cultivating.

You give him a little more time on the court, and Brooke, who's been a center for the Nets for more than a decade. ”

Wharton: "Thomas and López? I know. Thank you, I'm going to try to get as many substitutes as possible in the regular season."

Hearing this, Channing nodded and stopped talking. His eyes were full of praise for the young manager.

Fortunately, the coach of the Lakers is not bad.

Then Wharton began to observe Thomas Jr. carefully. The game in the second quarter, led by Thomas, came alive!

And the team's speed slowed down after Kuzma went off the court, and at this time, the pace of the Lakers was raised by Thomas Jr. a notch.

James doesn't care about that, any rhythm can be.

Over the years, what lineup and tactics has he not seen?

Randle struggled a little, but Brooke, a big man, ran all over the court like a defender with a lot of feeling~

For a while, the 76ers really didn't know how to respond.

Lopez isn't particularly good at the basket, but he's flexible.

Li Feng: "Slow down the tempo, we can't play fast with them!" ”

So Li Feng's side immediately slowed down, and little Thomas discovered such a situation in time.

He deliberately ran to Li Feng's side to interfere with him!

But Li Feng, who also knew Thomas's intentions, did not rush to pass the ball.

After a brief entanglement between the two, Li Feng directly made a dry pull-out jump shot, and immediately threw the ball to Embiid in the air!

The latter directly forced against Brooke, and finally made him foul and hit all 2 free throws!

After Thomas arrived on the court, the overall rhythm of the Lakers was different!

Thomas Jr., who received a serve from his teammate, played opposite Bayless after half-time.

A few feints suddenly stopped, Bayless was shaken away, and then crashed into Li Feng!

If he hadn't touched Li Feng, Bayless might have been shaken down by Thomas just now!

How similar this scene is!

Then the fans at the scene let out a crazy cheer!

James was only slightly relieved at this point. Finally, a part of the attention was distracted to Thomas.

After a little confusion, Thomas Jr. jumped straight up and hit a three-point shot! 35:34！

Now the 76ers are only 1 point more than the Lakers.

And outside the stadium, many fans, as well as some TV commentators, also found an interesting phenomenon.

That is, after many years, the leaders of the two teams seem to have changed.

In the "OK combination" many years ago, the strong Big Shark and Kobe Bryant team faced Iverson, who was particularly capable of playing!

And now on the 76ers' side, Embiid the Great, who has a very strong confrontation ability, and Li Feng, who is known as having a lot of similarities with Kobe Bryant last season, and Thomas, the "Iverson heir", have faced off!

It seems that the main players of both sides have switched sides~

Soon after Saric got Li Feng's pass, he hit a 2-point shot!

Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and LeBron hit a three-point shot after receiving his pass!

37:37！ The two sides are tied!

The fans at Staples Arena cheered enthusiastically!

Li Feng got the ball from his teammates at this time and signaled not to worry.

He then went to the frontcourt to draw the attention of the Lakers' defense.

In the end, the ball was passed to Embiid, and Saric received the basketball again not far away, and jumped directly to hit a three-point shot!

Seeing that Sarich's hand gradually recovered, Li Feng's heart also quieted down.

When the Lakers gained momentum, what Li Feng had to do was to entangle with the other party until the third quarter.

There's a reason why Brown deliberately let Kuzma off early.

Just now, Coach Brown also told Li Feng that he would not play too long in the second quarter of the game.

That is, during LeBron's rest, the 76ers can also surprise the Lakers a few times!

Looking at the Lakers' performance today, if Thomas has been on the court, it is really not easy.

At this time, it depends on how the Lakers will arrange players to play in the later stage.

The Lakers have a good lineup this season, and it is not unlikely that Thomas Jr. will leave the court early.
