Chapter 506: 40 points of madness
At the end of the first quarter of the game, although the Lakers' bench lineup looked weaker than the opponent, the combination of various factors such as the overall cooperation still made the Lakers not only not chased by the opponent in these two minutes, but also continued to expand the score, so at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Pacers couldn't wait to replace the pickled peppers, and the Pacers were able to grasp a certain initiative when the pickled peppers were on the court, but he didn't expect it. That's when Wade stepped forward.
As soon as Pickled Pepper came up, he directly hit a mid-range dry pull-out jumper, but Wade's side led the benches to show no weakness, and when he turned around, he directly hit a pull-up jump shot near the free throw line, and then Pickled Pepper held the ball and forced a breakthrough through Clarkson, ready to go directly to a layup, but was finally interfered with by Larry Nance Jr., the basketball brushed out of the basket, and the rebound was also protected by Clarkson, and then the Lakers counterattacked, Wade immediately rushed to the opponent's restricted area with full power after receiving the pass, Although Miles Turner on the Pacers' side wanted to interfere, he was afraid of being fouled by Wade, so in the end he could only watch Wade pull the ball up.
Wade played with the benches for another two or three minutes, and the Pacers still couldn't catch up on the difference, and at this time, Ye Xuan and Gasol were almost rested and were replaced on the court. Ye Xuan, who was replaced again, also knew that the morale of the opposite side was about to collapse, and he only needed to add another dose of vinegar, and the Pacers this season should not have a chance to regain their strength, so Ye Xuan also turned on his scoring mode after being replaced in the second quarter.
came up to face Louis Williams and Gasol directly after a hand-to-hand cut after a pick-and-roll, easily hit a throw near the free throw line, and then passed the ball to Pickles Pepper after Luwe controlled the ball after half court and directly flew to break the ball, this break also directly helped Wade complete a fast-break dunk.
The momentum of the Pacers dropped another notch in an instant, and the offense began to make frequent mistakes, but the Lakers will not tell you this, and they will continue to bombard indiscriminately, in just 7 minutes, the second quarter of the game is not over, the difference between the two teams has been unconsciously expanded to 20 points, and the pickled pepper is also very tragic, although he got a high score of 24 points in the two quarters of the game, But the team's total of 36 points after scoring is a bit too miserable.
Ye Xuan's side was actually going to continue to score again, so that the Pacers knew how good they were, but they were replaced by Wharton Jr., thinking that he felt that he was 20 points ahead and wanted to give the opponent some face, Ye Xuan would not have any disputes with the coach because of this, so he had to watch from the sidelines. But Ye Xuan didn't expect that after he went down, Wade and Solomon Hill took over the game, first Hill received a pass on the outside and hit a three-pointer directly, and then Wade also contributed a steal, and he came to a dragon, which made the Pacers also a little dizzy, and in less than 30 seconds in these two rounds, the difference between the two teams jumped directly to 25 points.
The Pacers probably couldn't play anymore, so they handed over a timeout to replace the main players, and the Pacers also took advantage of the situation to replace Wade and Gasol and others, and replaced them with substitutes, and even Zubac got the opportunity to play. At the end of halftime, the Pacers scored only 42 points in the two quarters, while the Lakers scored 66 points, directly leading the opponent by 24 points.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, because there was still a full half of the game in this game, although Ye Xuan and the other three absolute main forces were not needed, the other role players still had to go up to play soy sauce, and the result was that this time it was in the arms of Solomon Hill, and the two of them bombarded the Pacers' basket again, and the Pacers had already surrendered in the third quarter, but they didn't expect that the opponent's substitute was like playing chicken blood. Continuing to defend and attack as seriously as playing the Finals instantly made the Pacers' benches even more flustered, and the result was naturally tragic.
In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers did not send a score-grabbing master such as Clarkson, but the Lakers still won the Pacers by 14 points in a single quarter, expanding the difference to 38 points, of course, this kind of performance Wharton also knew that he could not continue to let the two brothers continue to play in the fourth quarter of the game, otherwise it would leave a mouth for those reporters, so in the fourth quarter, he also replaced these two people, and the main forces were not on it, so he could only replace the elderly Ci Shiping with soy sauce.
To put it bluntly, in fact, the Lakers' lineup still lacks some roles that can help the absolute main players go up to play soy sauce after the main players turn the game into garbage time, which is probably the direction of the team's next personnel list supplement, this is actually quite simple, just recall two soy sauce roles from the NBDL, or directly sign one or two free agents.
In the fourth quarter, the game finally returned to normal garbage time, the soy sauce gate of the two teams played back and forth, and the point difference finally began to rise alternately, and it was no longer like the previous game, and it was still the Lakers who crushed the Pacers. At the end of the game, the Pacers, who had been shouting about striving for the championship before the start of the season, were directly slaughtered by the Lakers by 124:84 by 40 points.
After the game, the Staples Arena was also lively, and the fans not only did not leave the arena directly, but still loudly taunted the management of the Pacers, and if they were caught on camera, they would be even more energetic. Naturally, the reporters were happy to get the material, and they knew that the post-match coverage of the game must be very interesting.
Sure enough, at the press conference of this game, Pickle Pepper suddenly changed his usual restraint and began to make a lot of nonsense, while constantly throwing the pot to the team's top management, he also revealed various dissatisfaction with this team, and between his words he was ready to leave. This directly gave the media on the scene a piece of news, after all, the transfer of players of this level is not a joke, and it is likely to directly affect the pattern of the league, so the media are also happy now, after all, tomorrow's big news has come down again.
And the head coach of the Pacers is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, of course, it may be that Nate McMillan has some thoughts of retiring, so he also began to criticize Pritchard at the post-game press conference, anyway, he signed a two-year coaching contract with the Pacers, if the Pacers fire him, he can still lie down and receive a salary, and then he will not have to consume various brain cells in the Pacers to regulate their relationship, so he also directly broke the news that Pritchard interfered in the locker room, This not only made the Pacers' already unstable mood even more riotous, but also made the 'anti-Pricharde' sentiment of the Pacers fans more and more high.
Of course, after the Pacers' press conference ended, Ye Xuan did not forget to come out to make up for it, before the press conference began, Ye Xuan directly applied to be able to take Solomon Hill to the press conference together, and as a result, little Wharton was naturally willing to be an adult, although he was also afraid that Ye Xuan would make some trouble, but after thinking about it, Ye Xuan had not caused trouble because of his mouth before, so he was no longer worried.
I remember that Ye Xuan was also ruthless at the press conference, and the first thing he said directly was to thank Mr. Pritchard for giving me a new life, and the reporters on the scene were still thinking about how to write the manuscript of the pickled pepper and the things that Nate McMillan said just now, but Ye Xuan's side immediately didn't give them time to prepare, and it was a big bomb when they came up.
Then Ye Xuan also directly told what he had negotiated with Pricharde, Ye Xuan proved his strength with a 50+ super triple-double because of the news that the team was going to trade him, and he also got Pricharde's assurance afterwards that he would not restart his plan to trade himself, what was the result? As soon as he was injured, Prichard's trading plan was immediately restarted, and because many teams were unwilling to accept the previous price, he still rushed to promote himself, it seemed that Ye Xuan himself was like a dog skin plaster, and wanted to get rid of himself as soon as possible.
In fact, Ye Xuan was going to say these things after coming to the Lakers for the first game, but in the press conference after that game, he didn't have a clear idea, and it became a declaration that he wanted to lead the Lakers into a strong team, so the plan was delayed until this season when he played against the Pacers. This time, Ye Xuan is naturally not ready to give Pricharde any chance to turn around, all kinds of unfavorable evidence have proved that Pricharde is not a qualified general manager, although the owner of the team has never been in charge, but at this time, he should always be able to come out and deal with it, right?
After Ye Xuan sprayed Pritchard, it was Solomon Hill's turn, first of all, he naturally talked about why he was not able to successfully renew his contract when he was in the Pacers, and then talked about the fact that he was secretly suppressed by Pritchard after Ye Xuan left, including the reason why Pritchard finally fired Frank Vogel, and also said it together, now Pritchard really has no chance to reflexively, if it is just because of the trade of Ye Xuan, Then it can also be attributed to the fact that he pursued the interests in front of him, and finally miscalculated Ye Xuan's strength, but judging from the two things of firing Frank Vogel and choosing not to renew Solomon Hill, Pritchard is a complete abuse of power, and he has no brains to fool, and it is unlikely that this kind of person will find a similar job in the future, and now he is waiting for the boss of the Pacers to write a letter of dismissal and let him roll up and leave.
After solving the culprit that has always made Ye Xuan unhappy, the love-hate relationship between Ye Xuan and the Pacers came to an end, and the pickled pepper seemed to be to demonstrate to the top of the Pacers, so after the game, he did not go back to the hotel booked by the Pacers, but contacted Ye Xuan directly, and then went to Ye Xuan's house for one night. After all, Pickled Pepper is also one of the few players in the Pacers who has been in contact with him after he was traded, if it weren't for Pickled Pepper who was still the absolute core of the Pacers at that time, then Pickled Pepper, who had been saying good things about Ye Xuan, would not have been able to escape the fate of Solomon Hill.
And Ye Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility, after all, Pickled Pepper is from Los Angeles, if he can trick him into the Lakers, then won't he be able to worry a lot at that time? And among the team's two big contracts, Wade and Gasol are both two-season contracts, which should also be the last salary contract for the two of them, and their contracts for next season will also expire, when the team can sign Gasol and Wade with a lower salary, and then renew Ye Xuan's contract with the highest salary, and then operate it, maybe they can still deceive the pickled pepper into the team, then the Lakers will still be able to maintain a high level of competition in the next few years, and it is not a dream to win one or two championships.
While thinking that Ye Xuan also told Pickle Pepper directly about his thoughts, in fact, Pickle Pepper also wanted to return to Los Angeles to play at the beginning, and he was able to talk to Ye Xuan like this, also because everyone's idol is Kobe, and it can be seen from Pickle Pepper wearing the No. 24 jersey at the beginning, so Ye Xuan said this, Pickle Pepper also felt that it was feasible, but what he needed to face now was that he had nearly two years left on his contract, as well as various retention things like those fans of the Pacers, And two years is too far away, just like the agreement between Ye Xuan and Howard at the beginning, the time is too far away, even if it is determined now, various variables in the middle will still make things change, so the two of them can only briefly talk about this idea now, and then wait until two years later to decide.
