Chapter 601: The opponent left a move
The first half of the game was a direct draw.
Both teams played very carefully in the second quarter! But apparently the Lakers are a bit more aggressive in the later stages.
Because LeBron stabilized the situation on the team. It's risky to do so because James can't play for long.
Although LeBron has just arrived with the Los Angeles Lakers this season, if he continues to be in Cleveland, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win another championship.
Because the East has also seen it this season, and the heroes are rising!
And the most important thing is that the management of the Cleveland Cavaliers has already reorganized, and after arriving at the Lakers, it will be a big test for Wharton.
Because the Lakers have so much to do this season!
LeBron has almost all-round strength! The projection is also very good, but his fitness is not as good as that of these young players now.
In addition, the Lakers have received a lot of new players this season, and it is also a big problem in terms of coordination.
! Los Angeles Lakers, at the end of the second quarter, Thomas Jr. hit a three-pointer!
The score is tied! Li Feng had already sat on the sidelines and rested for more than 2 minutes at this time.
In his previous life, neither López nor Thomas Jr. had been reused much.
Of course, James didn't come to Los Angeles, but the Lakers at that time were really not strong.
Wharton is in a dilemma and can't afford to bring the Lakers with a good roster. And then there's the continued slump.
The game in this life is very interesting, last season, Li Feng and Kobe Bryant teamed up to win the championship!
Since then, the people of the lake have been greatly boosted! Wharton's fame has also risen!
The Lakers' call for this season is very high! Whether it is the Los Angeles Lakers management, the media and fans, they all hope that the Lakers can win two consecutive championships under the leadership of James!
Davis's side is pretty much done talking about it now! The Pelicans taunted the Lakers in various ways at first, but after playing last season, it took so long to negotiate the players.
On the New Orleans Pelicans management side, they can't keep dragging on the Lakers' side with Vice President Magic Johnson all the time.
ridiculed the Lakers because the Los Angeles Lakers were the bottom team in the league at the time.
And the delay with the other party is because the Pelicans management is hesitating.
Davis is now recognized as the league's top center, and he is also a phenomenal big center!
It's the same as the Nets, but when you Lopez is at the level of the elite blue-collar class.
Some players are in peak condition as soon as they enter the league, such as Davis.
The Pelicans are reluctant to trade the thick eyebrows away......
Even two times this season when I had a bad break with the Lakers management, it was because of this.
The Lakers also took the time and mental preparation to come, no matter how the Pelicans talked to them like this, why they couldn't negotiate, how they talked back, the Lakers took it!
The goal is to get the top center Davis!
They all know what kind of chemistry will happen if they recruit a phenomenal big man and be with James, who is still very capable of playing!
And what Coach Wharton has to do is to win the championship right away this season!
You can basically get one more next season! In this way, Wharton's career can be said to have ushered in a peak!
After joining the position of head coach, he directly led the Lakers to win three consecutive championships!
It's exciting to think about! At half-time, when all the players went back to rest, Wharton sat on the bench in a daze.
He was looking at the O'Brien Cup not far from the sidelines.
They got one last season and he's going to get another one this season!
......
Brown: "On the Lakers' side, many players' fitness has declined!
Our two teams are actually about the same in terms of overall combat strength!
The Warriors can use the three-point rain style to directly let us be eliminated in the Finals.
But the Lakers beat them for us!
What you have to do is try to tie the score with the Lakers in the third quarter. Our two teams want to open the score right away, and now no one can do it......"
Brown, the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, did not say that the physical fitness of their team's players has also declined significantly.
What's more, the Lakers' ability to control the court is getting stronger and stronger in tonight's game!
If the opponent plays steadily, they can quickly win this game!
This is something that Brown didn't dare to say, so he was indirectly comforting his players from another angle.
Not to mention that the effect is not bad~
Soon the halftime was over, and the Lakers' lineup for the third quarter was Lopez, Zubac, James, Thomas Jr. and Ingram.
When Lao Yingge came on the field, the fans at the scene immediately cheered.
Although this is the home of the Philadelphia 76ers, Andre Ingram's events this season are very inspiring!
After playing basketball in the Development League for ten years, I finally have the opportunity to come to the NBA to play a few games, and whether it is the NBDL or here, Lao Yingge's level is not bad!
The players on the Philadelphia 76ers' side are Ilyasova, Booker, Simmons, Ball and McConnell!
LeBron, the Lakers, was not worried about the game, so he communicated with Wharton and continued to play.
On the Philadelphia side, Embiid and Li Feng stood on the sidelines, and it was Simmons and McConnell who led the team at this time!
Simmons averaged 16.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in the regular season this season!!
After crazy pre-season training and Kobe Bryant's phone supervision, Simmons worked hard to shoot!
Simmons, who is very active in grabbing rebounds, has good passing ability, breaks through, and has a good level of fast passing and dunking, and has also improved qualitatively in scoring!
Philadelphia 76ers management is also planning to keep him with the team next season.
Embiid: "Simmons play me well in the third quarter!" Be sure to keep the score under control! ”
Li Feng: "Rebounding is still the key, pay more attention"
Simmons looked at the bench amid the cheers of the fans at this time and nodded to his two good brothers.
After coming to the league, Simmons was very optimistic about the outside world, but he was immediately very unstable because of his performance on the court.
There are also frequent injuries that have been brought directly to the bottom.
At that time, Simmons was also confident, and he was confident that he would play immediately after returning from injury.
But in the NBA, it's not that if you want to play well, you will definitely get good data.
Simmons can also play the statistics of blue-collar forwards, but the inconsistency of his performance is still obvious.
Fortunately, he was noticed by Kobe Bryant this season...... Fortunately, the whole team has always supported him.
Fortunately, he met Li Feng.
This man who quickly changed the face of the whole team!
The Philadelphia 76ers' initial state of black miasma was changed by Li Feng little by little.
The teammates who once questioned Li Feng are now completely on Li Feng's side!
When LeBron saw Simmons running over, he immediately greeted him!
Ball soon received a pass from Simmons.
The Lakers now have a player like LeBron, so naturally everyone won't go to him right away.
Soon Booker got the basketball, Booker and Zubac were entangled for a long time, and finally got rid of Zubac, but when he made a jumper, he was taken down by LeBron behind him in the air!
The fans at the scene immediately let out an exclamation!
Immediately, little Thomas passed the half, and after receiving a direct pass from the little emperor, he passed the ball to Lao Yingge again.
The latter gets up and is a three-pointer!!
When Coach Brown saw this at this time, he was directly shocked into a cold sweat!
thought that Andre was just an ordinary player who was placed in the third team by the Lakers.
In the first two quarters of the game, Lao Yingge did not play.
It turns out that this is a move left by the opponent!
Coach Wharton is also worried that the Philadelphia 76ers will suppress them with three points!
And the team's three-point shot is very good, except for Thomas Jr.'s performance on the court, it belongs to the guard of Lao Yingge!
Simmons quickly sprinted across the halfcourt, this time because he was a certain distance from James.
So use your teammates' bodies to cover more, and jump up to the basket with three points!
Lopez got the rebound and passed to LeBron, and Simmons immediately went over to defend.
The latter easily passed Simmons, and then let Booker get a foul and deduct points angrily!
After James hit the ball, the difference has been stretched to 6 points!
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Simmons' forehead at this time.
Brown: "It's okay, it's okay to be 10 points behind, I'm only asking for one right now!"
Put the mentality right, lose and lose, but our rhythm can't be messed up. ”
Simmons passed by the manager, and Brown spoke quickly.
Then Ball went out for half and was defended by the old Yingge, and Simmons got the ball and saw that James had come.
Just let him get a foul!
2 of 3 free throws! The fans here in Philadelphia began to cheer for the team at this time!
Brown immediately clapped on the sidelines and told Simmons to just play like that!
The Lakers, on their side, still let James continue to play, while the Philadelphia 76ers replaced several key players.
In the third quarter, the two teams were actually watching which side had problems first.
Obviously, the Philadelphia 76ers can't parry the Lakers.
But neither side actually has much advantage, and LeBron plans to fight with his opponent today!
I don't think about physical fitness or anything, and Philadelphia has been waiting for an opportunity!
As long as they can hold back their opponents, the Philadelphia 76ers will be able to lead the Lakers in rhythm in this quarter!
Even if you are behind the score, as long as you are not too far behind, there is no problem!
Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball across the half court and threw it directly over Zubac.
And the old Yingge was already in the bottom corner, Zubac threw the basketball over, and Andre got up and hit three points again!
Embiid still felt visibly tired at this time, but the anxiety and exhaustion in his heart kept disturbing him.
The tired state is to let him go back to rest, and the anxiety makes him want to go to the game at this time!
! Old Yingge and James and Thomas Jr. high-fived in celebration, and the game seems to be going in a good direction!
LeBron peeked at the championship trophy not far away!
At this time, the Lakers are so close to the championship!
Bauer: "That's it! I attract the opponent's defense! Simmons and McConnell, you two are looking for a chance to score! ”
The two people next to him immediately nodded in agreement.
On the field at this time, they are still not in the rhythm of their own team, and Ball is also a little anxious now!
They fought for two quarters in this game! It can't just be destroyed in their hands!
Ball directly confronted Thomas Jr. and passed him directly!
The fans at the scene almost cheered when they saw this!
But just as Lonzo thought, LeBron immediately came over to make up for it, and Simmons received the ball and passed it to McConnell again.
The latter got up and hit the basket with three points!
The little emperor's expression was very serious at this time! Knowing that LeBron was going to attack alone, he still watched him score points with a tomahawk slam!
Then Ball went to the front court and passed Thomas Jr. again!
While protecting the basketball, Lonzo fought directly with Thomas!
In terms of confrontation, Bauer's physicality is still okay.
So Thomas Jr. couldn't stop Lonzo in both rounds.
This time, without waiting for James to come over, Ball directly threw a three-pointer himself!
! Coach Wharton was about to take a timeout.
Walked over directly and patted the old warbler on the back, and the young Ingram, Pope and Hart came to the game!
The Philadelphia 76ers brought on Saric on their side. James already felt that his physical fitness had dropped badly at this time.
Both teams are also going to start fighting at this time!
In the third quarter, we will see which team can pull away the lead!
Although the Lakers have been pressing the opponent in the third quarter, it is not impossible for the Philadelphia 76ers to overtake the opponent!
Lonzo defended Hart directly, but the basketball came to Pope.
The latter hit a three-point shot right away!
Saric soon received the basketball, hitting a 2-point shot in the entanglement with Zubac!
Then Brooke smashed a ball!
Simmons, who was in the front court, directly received a long pass from Lonzo!
After the timeout that Wharton had just asked, the two teams had no rhythm!
It's all in a crazy break! Simmons, who had already arrived in the frontcourt, looked back at the Lakers players.
