D'Antoni frowned.

Davis, why did he recover when he was playing the Lakers!

The Pelicans are ferocious on offense, and the Lakers are obviously a little overwhelmed.

The first quarter lasted until 9 minutes, and the two sides entered the rotation one after another.

The score was 26-13, and the Pelicans had taken a 13-point lead.

At this time, the lineup on the court, the Lakers side of the outside Ronnie Price and Jordan Clarkson, the inside Nick Young and Boozer, and the starting Chandler continued to stay on the court.

On the Pelicans' side, Jokic and Aminu are on the inside, and Ariza and Gordon are on the wings.

Because of Holiday injury, Dinwiddie, who had rarely played before, got a chance to play.

It is worth mentioning that the team's consultant Nash was also on the sidelines, and before Dinwiddie came on the court, Nash kept telling him something.

It can be seen that Nash really likes Dinwiddie.

Lakers offense.

Boozer plays the ball to Aminu in the low post and leans back after turning.

He leaned back widely, and the shot went over Aminu's fingertips.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes to the net.

Although he is 33 years old, his offensive firepower is still very strong.

On the Pelicans' offense, Dinwiddie gave the ball to Jokic after holding the ball across the halfcourt.

Jokic at the free-throw line organization.

Chandler kept playing against each other at this point, and the rest of the Lakers players were also following their own defenders.

The Pelicans are clearly guarding Jokic.

Jokic is getting better and better, and he is being studied more and more by opponents, and there are more targets on the court.

Halfway through the offensive time, there were no good opportunities on the court, and Jokic chose to attack Hill.

But Chandler's confrontation was no worse than him, the whole person was like an iron wall, and he turned to the basket and didn't have a good chance to shoot.

Just then, Dinwiddie motioned to Jokic from the outside to give the ball away.

Jokic knew he was unlikely to score and chose to give the ball away.

By this time, the offensive time was halfway over, and the rest of the Pelicans had pulled away, ready for Dinwiddie to play hard.

Dinwiddie, however, reached out and signaled to play a flank move.

This choice was unexpected, but Dinwiddie was the point guard, and the Pelicans' usual tactical literacy was not low, and his teammates still made tactical moves.

Jokic turned to Ariza for a pick-and-roll, and Gordon on the other side cut into the basket from a 45-degree angle from the three-point line.

However, this continuous tactic did not come out of the way.

The Lakers players on the court know that there is not much time left to attack, and when defending, they only need to limit the two receiving points of Ariza and Gordon.

And because there is not much time, the Pelicans' pick-and-roll and running are in a hurry, and the intention is too obvious.

Time was running out, and when this wave of offense was about to fail, Dinwiddie, who was holding the ball, suddenly pulled a three-pointer from the outside.

This came down very suddenly, and Price, who was defending Dinwiddie, was looking back at Gordon's cut-in position, and Dinwiddie just shot.

He reacted and pounced, but it was a little late.

And more importantly, Dinwiddie is a tall point guard, with a height of 1.98 meters, which is 10 centimeters taller than him.

The interference he can give is very limited.

In other words, the ball basically depends on Dinwiddie's own feel.

The ball swirls in the air and crosses an arc.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball went into the net.

A near-whistle-blowing three-pointer!

The Staples fans were agitated.

D'Antoni also reached out to support his forehead.

It looked like it was going to be defended in 24 seconds, but in the end it was thrown in by Dinwiddie for a three-pointer, which was a huge blow to the team's morale.

Nash, who was on the bench, stood up excitedly and walked to the sideline to applaud directly.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw Nash's reaction.

The ball just now seems to be a sudden cold arrow when Dinwiddie is about to arrive, but if you look closely enough, you will find that it is not so simple.

Jokic's response was blocked, and the singles didn't work out, with about 10 seconds left.

Dinwiddie really plays alone, and the Lakers concentrate on defense, and most of them will be defended.

But instead of doing that, he called for a tactic.

About 10 seconds is definitely not enough to play a tactic, but not being able to play does not mean that you can't play.

The point of that tactic is not to really want to play, but to attract the attention of the Lakers' defense and then create opportunities for him to shoot.

It's kind of playing psychological warfare.

A rookie, or a second-round show, really has to rely on himself, and it is impossible to make this kind of judgment and choice in a short period of time.

The only explanation is that Nash taught.

Of course, Dinwiddie himself was a fast learner.

Dinwiddie's career in history has not been smooth, with the Pistons and Bulls in the first two years, and he was cut twice in a row by the Bulls.

The rookie didn't play until the Nets met Kenny Atkinson in his third year.

But now that he's met Nash, it's like Maxima meeting Bole in advance.

This is also the NBA, or more importantly, life, how many stars in the NBA have become famous, and how many stars have not met everyone.

Strength is part of it, but opportunity is also a big part.

And it can be seen that Dinwiddie is clearly prepared.

Otherwise, even if he can use tactics to win a chance to shoot for himself, it will be useless if he can't shoot.

Boozer continued to play Aminu in the low post, and this time he used his experience to fool Aminu and turned to the basket to create Jokic's hitter.

After hitting both free throws, he came off the bench and scored four straight points.

Speaking of which, he still averaged 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game for the Bulls last season, and if he wasn't pardoned, he would still be a first-team starter.

Dinwiddie took the ball back to the frontcourt, and after glancing at the Lakers' defense, he motioned for Jokic to sink to the blue bottom, and then asked Aminu to mention the high pick-and-roll.

After dismantling, he misplaced himself on Boozer.

He motioned for Aminu to pull Price away, this time he was going to fight one.

Tang Tian turned his head to look at Nash again.

Dinwiddie hadn't played Boozer before, and Boozer's defensive leaks must have been told by Nash.

Boozer's defense has deteriorated so badly that the Bulls wouldn't have pardoned him at that offseason point.

Dinwiddie continued to change direction, and Boozer's center of gravity clearly wavered.

Seizing an opportunity, Dinwiddie went straight to Boozer and got to the basket.

Jokic sank to the basket early, and at this point completely stuck Chandler.

After Dinwiddie got past Boozer, he made a quick layup to put the ball in the basket.

He got five straight points on the court!

The Pelicans' lead is also 14 points!

Tang Tian doesn't know much about Dinwiddie, after all, the latter is only a starter-level player at the peak of history.

But now it seems that Dinwiddie has a high ball quotient, and with a top mentor like Nash, he will grow faster and have a higher ceiling.

That's probably why Nash was willing to give his heart and soul to Dinwiddie.
