Chapter 23: Brother Sun's Role

Summer League doesn't have pre-game and post-game press conferences in the group stage, Lakers players only have half an hour to wash after the game, and the locker room is soon handed over to the next team for the next game.

The Lakers beat the Spurs in their first game, and then they have to wait for the rest of the teams in the West to emerge, and those are the opponents they could face in the second round.

The next morning, all the teams with one win and one defeat began to draw their opponents again.

The biggest feature of the Swiss system is that it is relatively fair, the team that wins will only draw lots with the team that wins, even if you can win the game by luck at the beginning, but the opponent is getting stronger and stronger, and the lack of strength will be brushed down sooner or later, such a system can avoid upsets to the greatest extent.

The Lakers were lucky, and the second game was against the Jazz, who defeated the Mavericks.

It's hard to say whether the Jazz are strong or not, but the team they play in the Summer League is not very strong, and if they draw the SuperSonics or the Grizzlies, it is definitely a draw.

Summer League is the opposite of the regular season, and it can be said that the stronger the team in the regular season, the weaker the Summer League.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and the Lakers did things that year to win the championship and win the championship.

This year, there is another Zhao Dashao, which makes last year's runner-up not so weak in this year's summer league.

After a day off, the Lakers still had a game against the Jazz at McDome.

The media all think that the Jazz is not strong, Williams did not participate, Boozer did not participate, Oku did not participate, Kirilenko did not participate, how much combat power does such a Jazz have?

Zhao Dashao did not dare to underestimate the enemy, the Jazz has its own blocking and dismantling system and iron-blooded defense, these things have a natural advantage in the summer league where everyone can't play tactics.

He also knows that young Brewer, Millsap, Korver, Miles and others are not rookies, and this team is not easy to deal with.

But the Lakers players believed the media, so an unexpected defeat was no surprise.

The Jazz really didn't play any tactics, they just used an impregnable defense to beat the fluttering Lakers players back to their original shape, and then used their own blocking halo to defeat the Lakers' not tough defense.

Millsap showed impressive low singles and mid-range shots, Ronny Brewer's ferocious defense and breakaways hurt Ariza, and Korwall's erratic movement and brilliant three-pointers turned Vujacic into a younger brother.

But even so, the Lakers are not unable to beat each other, but they will not die unjustly at all.

Zhao Dashao's opponent Ronnie Price is not a great existence, but the Jazz's tough defense and fierce physical confrontation are the nemesis of all bells and whistles.

Zhao Dashao was always staggered after entering the restricted area today, and his breakthrough was greatly affected, with only 5 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in the first half, but there were 3 turnovers.

This time he finally experienced the intensity of the NBA game, and this Jazz team was much tougher than the Spurs.

No matter how well Zhao Dashao practiced at home, he had to adapt to this intensity when he came to the scene.

In the second half, Bernie made adjustments to the lineup, he placed Zhao Dashao in the second position, and then let Sun Ge and Farmar take turns to play the first position.

Such a change allowed Zhao Dashao to play to the advantage of his footwork, and the Lakers players also treated him like Kobe, setting up a lot of blocking and off-ball cover.

Only then did Zhao Dashao show his ability to read the defensive space, and used his excellent ability to wrap around the cover to score a lot of points, which once again made the Lakers coaching staff nod frequently.

I have to say that Zhao Dashao's on-the-spot adaptability is far beyond that of ordinary rookies.

In the second half, he was like an eel shuttling through the Jazz's muscle forest, not only can he see the needle, but he also drills holes, and this style of play is obviously the nemesis of the Jazz team.

In this way, Zhao Dashao looked a lot better in scoring data, scoring 21 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists in the whole game, and the number of turnovers was also controlled within 5 times.

But the Lakers still suffered a loss, and his penetration and drilling did make the Jazz defense very embarrassed, but the Lakers' entire interior line made Millsap and Brewer a sieve, and Korver and Myers also gave the Lakers a heavy blow on the outside, and the Lakers, who were stunned as soon as they came up, did not wake up until the end.

Zhao Dashao was unable to give a post-game interview this time, because the best of the game was Millsap, who scored 30 points and 15 rebounds.

The Lakers are 1-1, but the situation is not too bad.

Zhao Dashao even felt that it was good to sober up after losing, so that everyone really thought that the champion was coming.

After the first game, even he floated a little bit, which is not a good sign.

"It's windy!"

Westbrook's Thunder beat the Rockets tonight, becoming one of the few teams with two wins.

He didn't get the All-Match after the game either, as Durant also played in Summer League.

Wei Shao posted this new tweet on his Twitter, and you don't have to think about it to know who he is mocking.

Coincidentally, Beasley in the Eastern Conference also led the Heat to two wins, and in an interview with reporters after the game, he directly dissed Zhao Dashao, and said with a very provocative expression: "You think you can do it, but in fact, you are still far behind." ”

Zhao Dashao wasn't very embarrassed, didn't he just lose a game?

His data is not ugly, and even domestic fans don't have too many people spraying him!

After the game, he also deliberately checked the background data, such a big defeat only made him drop five or six honorary coins, the loss is acceptable, it seems that the domestic trolls have shown mercy to his subordinates, I don't know if it is the Chinese identity and Brother Sun's credit.

"I still want to thank Brother Sun! As long as he pads, I won't be the output firepower of the domestic troll, and I should really keep him with the Lakers in the first season. ”

Zhao Dashao quickly thought of the reason, Brother Sun's performance tonight was slightly warmer than the first game, but he still only had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and the number of mistakes was as high as 2, so he was once again hung up by domestic trolls, which is too critical.

The Lakers have one win and one loss, and the opponent in Game 3 will also be a team with the same record.

But the teams that have played each other will not meet again, so the Lakers drew a team that domestic fans are most familiar with, just lost to the supersonic Houston Rockets!

This is interesting, as soon as this draw came out, the Chinese fans immediately came to the spirit, and even many fans who did not plan to watch the summer league are now ready to watch this game.

Zhao Dashao is also familiar with the Rockets, which is the favorite team of Chinese fans, especially during the Yao Ming period, and no team can compare to the Rockets, even if the team's results are not good.

Da Yao, Maddie, Artey, Scola, Alston and others will certainly not play in summer league, but Aaron Brooks, Vaughan Weaver, Luthor Hyde, James White, Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes, these are those who will play in summer league.

The ability of these people is not bad in the summer league, and Hai Ye can even be regarded as a top center here.

Brooks and Landry aren't well-known yet, but they, like Millsap, will play in the next season or two.

Vaughan Weaver and Luthor Hyde are a little worse off, but they are also qualified bench players, and James White is a legendary god who can jump from the free throw line + change hands under the crotch to dunk.

Chinese fans are more interested in the fact that such a contest that is already full of highlights has also received Yao Ming's attention, CCTV specially invited Da Yao, who is preparing for the Olympic Games in China, as a guest, and Chinese fans naturally regarded this summer league as a playoffs.
