With a completely different feel from the previous game, the Atlanta Hawks are not on the same level as the Bulls and Suns in front of them.

But what Wharton had anticipated was the first thing he had anticipated.

The opponent's performance made Wharton directly sober up.

At this time, they are not particularly strong against their teammates, except for Howard, but their head coach is very strong!

During the timeout, Wharton immediately adjusted the game style, and the main firepower attack point was placed on Kobe Bryant and Nick Young.

But the effect is still not ideal. It's as if Coach Budenholzer can see through everything Wharton thinks, which is terrifying.

......

Kobe: "Don't delay, hurry up and let Li Feng play!" ”

The first quarter ended at 27:18...... Bryant scored 12 points alone, and the rest of the team was basically limited by the Hawks.

The Hawks' side seems to be a big net, and no matter how the Lakers play, they can meet two or three people......

Clarkson feels that if he continues to play in this state this season, maybe he will be the next to be traded.

In the first quarter, he didn't score a point.

Wharton: "Li Feng replaces Kobe, and Clarkson continues to play on the court. The rest of the players remain the same"

Bryant: "??? ”

Wharton: "Kobe. There is a saying that may be ugly. But I still have to say, if you were to take over the Lakers, I would be more than willing to buy tickets to watch you play.

But the Lakers can't make the playoffs. We have to give the other players plenty of opportunities to work. ”

After saying that, Wharton tentatively patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder to express comfort.

After briefly talking to the players, Budenholzer couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Kobe Bryant actually go down.

He immediately ran to the assistant coach, took back the tactical board, and went back to the bench to get a pen and draw!

Clarkson: "Feel like you're pretty strong in the first two games?" ”

Seeing Li Feng replacing Kobe, Clarkson's heart was a little sour at this time.

It seems that Li Feng and Kobe Bryant are the Lakers who can replace each other at this time.

Li Feng: "Is it strong?" Just look at the two championship rings on my hand~ When I first came to the league, I had two rings, what do you say I have strength? ”

stunned Clarkson so much that he didn't speak for a long time, and Li Feng took the embarrassing value he gave and walked directly to the arena.

After seeing Li Feng playing, Black Mamba even became a little expectant.

Now, if there's anything that can convince him, it's for the Lakers.

He has been playing basketball here for 20 years, and whoever he is must have developed a deep affection for Los Angeles.

In the first two seasons, he and Scott had been arguing for two seasons over whether to play on their own or let their teammates play.

Is it really back to the Zen master Jackson's time? At that time, Coach Jackson had been persuading Kobe Bryant to behave selflessly on the court like Jordan.

However, Scott was not as convincing as a Zen master, and Coach Jackson didn't say much about Kobe Bryant back then.

But this season's Kobe Bryant had a conflict with Wharton, but he made concessions many times.

Judging from Wharton's usual performance and his mind, it is clear that Wharton really wants to lead the Lakers out of the haze.

And the new coach is coming, if Kobe Bryant doesn't want to see him, then it means that the head coach still has no real power.

Maybe in the game, everyone is more inclined to listen to Kobe than he is Wharton.

Li Feng: "When I was with the Bucks, I met the Hawks in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

This team is in a similar state of teamwork as the Spurs. Very good! You have to ask how we won that.

I don't know right now. But judging from that round of games, even the Bucks of that year had the possibility of winning against the Hawks, right? ”

Nick Young: "...... Li Feng, you don't go to give a speech. And then what? ”

Li Feng: "......"

At this time, only Li Feng of the Nick Young team responded to the words on the field, and the rest of the players felt that Li Feng was pretending.

It's like you've won a few championships......

Psychologically, some players of the Lakers still feel that they can't get over the hurdle of "Airborne Soldier" Li Feng.

Indeed, Li Feng's current honor made them jealous.

Li Feng: "We can't be tough with them!" You have to be patient in the game! ”

Nick Young: "They have the patience, we don't...... Because our strength simply doesn't allow it."

Li Feng: "I'll organize the competition!" You're done catching the ball by then! ”

I knew that Li Feng had just asked Wharton to replace Ingram. Although Ingram's personal ability is not so strong, he can also play well with Li Feng.

And now on the field, only the black question mark seems to be friendly to him.

After seeing Howard, Li Feng immediately thought of his problem in the first quarter of the game. As a team, the Eagles have no problem playing fast break now.

But because Howard moves slowly, there will be a four-on-five situation right away.

If it weren't for the Hawks' players playing for a long time, then the Lakers' scoring space would have increased a lot at that time!

Basketball came to Nick Young, and sure enough, as Li Feng thought, suddenly Hardaway Jr. and Millsap were sandwiched, and the emoji would generally be on their own.

The basketball was immediately interfered with by Millsap!

Warcraft got the basketball and threw the ball directly to Kent!

Li Feng: "Clarkson, Luoer Deng, let's go back immediately!" ”

Suddenly shouted like this, Clarkson and Lore Deng involuntarily ran.

caught up with the speed of the Hawks, and only 3 people came back from the opponent's side, and the Lakers' blue beans also returned!

Schroder's state at this time was still at the pace of their fast-break play in the first quarter, and Randle saw that he was going to shoot a three-pointer and immediately rushed over.

Directly behind him came the blood cap!

Schroeder fell down in fright!

Li Feng picked up the basketball in the 3-second zone at this time and made a long pass directly to Nick Young.

The latter used his speed to pass the monster and go straight to the basket instead!

At this time, Coach Budenholzer had been watching from the sidelines for a long time. He saw Li Feng's reaction at this time and nodded vigorously.

Li Feng, this person, in the heart of the Eagles coach at this time, feels more and more terrible!

Warcraft came to the Hawks this season and brought a rock-solid under-the-basket defense to the team! But it also brought a flaw to the team.

It's a double-edged sword, and it's impossible to change the speed of superstar Howard right away.

Then it was only in the crucial games that the overall pace of the team slowed down for a while. Or just use fast fights to deal with opponents.

And Li Feng just discovered this flaw directly! And act quickly, with his pace of play against the Bucks and Warriors, the Hawks immediately fell into passivity.

Budenholzer was about to take a timeout.

Wharton looked over with some surprise.

Budenholzer: "The key to winning this game is to guard against Li Feng and Kobe."

Kobe Bryant can also ignore him if necessary. I've said this before.

You, you come here. The Lakers have seized our overall movement speed and are going to fight back here.

In a word! The game can be lost!! Li Feng must ...... Defend him.

And the Lakers now see that the awareness and strength of the interior players are not strong, so they don't need to care too much about this.

Just play at the same pace as before. Shan should slow down a little to play. Nick Young, the player......"

Wharton didn't expect Budenholzer to take a timeout so soon, and he ended up letting his players rest on the spot.

Then he stood on the bench and wondered what was going on.

It wasn't until he saw the Eagles' Mark and Humphries on the court that it seemed that the problem was here.

"Just now, Li Feng took advantage of Howard's failure to come back in time, and successfully broke the game with four hits and three in the half-court position......"

Wharton, who was thinking so in his heart, suddenly widened his eyes! He regretted that he didn't make player adjustments just now!

I didn't see this right away...... What a mistake!

Immediately, Wharton began to push back Budenholzer's thinking, and it should be said that the coach's vision for tactical research and player provocation is very poisonous......

At this time, the head coaches on both sides of the field focused their eyes on Li Feng.

Kobe: "What's wrong?" Don't let me go up and regret it? ”

Seeing Wharton's head shaking like a rattle there, Kobe quipped.

Wharton: "Mistake, man...... I can't take a timeout right now and fight with each other so often. In the end, we don't have some conditions to play with the Eagles and still lose."

The Lakers players who came back, seeing the Hawks' arrangement, also felt that the other party was planning not to fight with them in the first half.

Both Nick Young and Randle relaxed a lot. Only Li Feng, who was on the field, knew that Budenholzer had seen his thoughts......

Budenholzer: "What I feared happened. Look at the current Lakers, they want the superstar to have Kobe, and the Li Feng family who wants the successor to have combat power has also gotten it.

And Wharton, who worked as an assistant coach for the Warriors last season, is also here. I guess tonight's game will be hard to win."

The players and assistant coaches around him habitually made expressions of "understanding".

Their coach is rarely smiling in the game. Basically, he will communicate all kinds of problems with the coaching staff immediately, and he is very strict with the players in his hands!

One day, he actually became the head coach of a team. Naturally, like Kidd and them, they want to get good results for their team right away~

Hardaway II received a pass from Schroder and immediately scored on a breakaway from Nick Young!

By the time the basketball landed in the basket, Humphries was already halfway through! Mark is not far behind!

At this point, the overall movement speed of the Eagles has returned! Li Feng asked for the ball, but Randle didn't give it, and Clarkson rushed over after receiving the ball.

The first three people...... Does this count as a neutral gear?

Clarkson thought so in his heart, and then rushed straight over! He hasn't scored since the game and is desperate to score!

Eventually, the round was ended with a Humphries block!

Schroder got the basketball directly in the frontcourt at this time and easily hit a three-point shot without defense!

This time, after Luo Er Deng served, after Li Feng got the ball, he was blocked by two Eagles players in the backcourt!

But at this point, the Lakers players all ran over. Li Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and only pass the half at 7 seconds!

Then near the touchline, three people defended Li Feng.

Clarkson and Randle gloated at Li Feng's state of being defended by three people.

Kobe Bryant: "Get out of here!" ”

Hearing the black mamba's voice, Clarkson directly trembled!

Then he ran over with his head down.

Nick Young was blocked by his opponent.

When Clarkson just ran over, Schroeder successfully cut off the ball in Li Feng's hand, and Hardaway II took the basketball and threw the ball out when Clarkson just ran two steps to this side!

Kent gets the basketball on the other side and scores a quick dunk score!

Kobe Bryant was so angry that he shook his arms at this time!

Landou and Clarkson looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Then the basketball went to Nick Young, and the Hawks acted like they didn't see him. In the end, the black man's pull-up jump shot hit the iron!

Li Feng looked at the opponent's defensive state, thinking that this was interesting and took special care of himself......

Not long after, under the Lakers' loose defense, Humphries hit a long-range 2-point hollow shot!

The difference suddenly stretched to 16 points! Wharton didn't sit on the bench for long before he got up again to watch the game.

In this game, the Lakers and the Hawks played and seemed to have no ability to parry at all.

Li Feng held the ball just over half the court, and was suddenly caught by the three-person bag!

Wharton: "One release and one guard!" Budenholzer is a great thing to do...... They left the Lakers with no way out. ”

This time, Clarkson ran over, took Li Feng's pass, and then immediately missed the jump shot, and Lore Deng directly made up the score!

Lore Deng just waved his fist happily, and when he looked back, he found that the opponent's center Mark had already passed half the court.

The Hawks played three out of five, and in the end Schroder hit another three!

At this point, the camera was focused on Walton, and some fans booed when they saw such a young Lakers coach.

If there are no surprises, the Lakers, under the coaching of Wharton, were directly destroyed by the Hawks in the second quarter of today's game.

Kobe: "It's understandable, it will be better to let me play more next time~"

Before Wharton could turn around, Bryant went over to learn from Wharton and patted him on the shoulder and said lightly.

Li Feng: "Run!" Run! ”

At this time, Li Feng's head is so big...... The reaction awareness of these teammates at this time can't keep up with the Eagles at all!

Still being trapped, this time Li Feng decisively passed the ball to the black question mark.

Nick Young hits a three-point shot with the Hawks unguarded!

At this time, Li Feng saw the emoji and felt that he could only put his hope on him!

The Eagles' offensive and defensive transitions are still very fast!

The Lakers can't defend their opponents right away. Under the opponent's continuous passing, Kent finally hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner!

The fans at the scene cheered enthusiastically at this time!!

The camera showed Budenholzer and saw that he still had a sad face......

At this point, you can only give the ball to the player on the front line.
