"On our side now, the defense is not bad, but on the offensive end, it is difficult to launch an effective attack as soon as the battle is completed." Wharton took the tactical board, squatted on the ground and looked at the soldiers: "Fortunately, the reeds are restrained by Wang Cheng, and their offensive power is halved, so we can bite the score." ”

"But then," Wharton said, looking up, solemnly, "we need more changes." ”

Assistant coach Brian Shaw nodded and added: "All in all, it's basically a five-to-five situation right now, and if we want to turn defeat into victory, we still need a decisive figure on the offensive end who can break the balance of power." ”

"There's a way." Wang Cheng, who had been drinking with his head down, suddenly raised his head, looked at the coach and said firmly: "Our three-point shot hasn't been opened yet, I am very sure of my empty three-pointer, and someone needs someone to pass the ball to me in time." ”

Wharton nodded when he heard this, Wang Cheng's thoughts coincided with his.

"Lonzo can pass the ball well, and I can ask Ingram to help you attract the defense, but it's also a gamble, can you do it, King?" Wharton asked earnestly.

In fact, Wang Cheng, as a rookie who hasn't even signed a contract, shouldn't have such a right to speak.

But from the beginning of the summer league, to that heads-up with Clarkson, to the team's joint practice and today's game... It seems that as long as Wang Cheng plays, no matter how difficult the situation is, it can be reversed.

Unconsciously, there is a faint consensus among the team: you can trust Wang Cheng.

At this time, everyone's eyes were locked on Wang Cheng, waiting for his response.

"Hmm." With the burden in front of him, Wang Cheng not only did not show timidity but a smile on his face.

"I'll try." The flat tone has an indescribable confidence.

"Beep~"

The timeout ends and the game continues.

At this time, the lineup sent by the Lakers is: Brother Ball, Wang Cheng, Yingge, Randle and Da Luo. On the Clippers' side: Reeds, Wesley Johnson, Harris, Gallinari and Jordan Jr.

The Lakers serve, and the ball dribbles over the half court to organize the offense.

"We can see that now Wang Cheng is the shooting guard, and this is the third position he plays in this game." Director Wang commented.

"In this game, Brother Cheng can be said to be a panacea in the backcourt, where to make up for it, my mother no longer has to worry about the Lakers' learning." Wang Zixing added.

At this time, Wang Cheng was facing Johnson, a sapper-type player who was known for his defense.

Following the tactics laid out at the timeout, Wang Cheng began to quickly intersperse his movements. At the same time, Randle and Da Luo on the inside also worked very hard to make off-ball blocks for Wang Cheng.

Maybe it was because the Kings hadn't shot much in the previous three quarters, and Johnson was a little slack on the Kings' defense.

After a few blocks, Wang Cheng cut in a V-shaped and shot out from a 45° angle on the left. And the moment he ran out of the space, Brother Qiu's pass arrived!

The quality of this pass is too high.

Lead people with the ball!

Wang Cheng barely had to make any adjustments, and immediately shot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"Huh~"

Hollow into the net! At 86:90, the Lakers trailed by 4 points.

"What?" Johnson looked at the basketball in surprise and turned his head to look at Wangcheng.

Rivers did tell him to pay attention to Wangcheng's three-point shooting when he assigned him defensive tasks before, but in his eyes, Wangcheng is just a rookie who started by defense, and it is very likely that the three-point will fail in this kind of high-intensity game. For example... He himself is a three-point king and a shooter with a dismal shooting percentage in official games.

"Well done!"

"Good shot!"

The Lakers bench was full of emotion.

Wang Cheng was not too excited after scoring the goal, and hurriedly beckoned his teammates to return to defense.

"Defend! Defend! ”

At this time, waves of cheering from Lakers fans came from the audience.

The Clippers attack.

After Gallinari on the inside got the ball, he faced Randle with a backward shot.

Randall immediately got closer, jumping off the block as hard as he could.

"It's out of shape, it's just barely throwing, it's good." Randle said to himself that he was happy with his defense.

The ball flies in a very flat arc towards the basket.

"Knock, knock, boom~"

After a few knocks to the basket, the ball luckily bounced into the basket.

"Huh? So it's all in... Damn it. Randall was a little deflated.

"Don't take it personally, you defended well just now, but he was just lucky." When Wang Cheng passed by, he saw a depressed Randall, stepped forward and patted him on the back, and said softly, "Just guard it down next time." ”

"Huh?" Randall suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Cheng's back, surprised in his heart: "This guy would say such a thing to me... The last time you said something similar to me, it was the boss..."

Randle couldn't help but remember that in his rookie year, the No. 24 he admired so much had comforted him like this. At this time, looking at the back of a similar height not far away, he actually found some overlapping shadows from it.

At this moment, Randle's fighting spirit was completely stimulated, and he rushed to the hinterland of the Clippers like a wild bull that had woken up.

Reverse running, blocking and dismantling... Running back, blocking and dismantling...

Wangcheng ran tirelessly until Johnson's defense showed a flaw.

Brother Qiu's pass came instantly, and Wang Cheng's shot was not hesitating!

If you want to reverse, three-point rain is definitely the best way for the Lakers, especially when the Kings can't output on the defensive end under the trick tactics.

"Huh~"

Three points again!
