Flying to Los Angeles overnight, the players were in a tired state. Warm-up training is done closer to the game. In order to conserve energy for the back-to-back games in the evening, the Nets players basically went back to eat and rested.

Chen didn't feel anything, so he got off the plane after a good night's sleep, and went out to play not long after. Now it's the coach, and he has the final say~ Before the game with the Hornets, he also briefly chatted about the situation of the Lakers.

After almost a morning outside, Chen came back and started chatting with Anna. Seeing that the time was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I called the teaching assistants to come over, then put down the phone and took out the charger.

At the moment, the quality of the help in Brooklyn is good. On the night of the same day, they began to study how the Lakers should play, and then sent their plan to Chen's mailbox and went to sleep, and continued to sleep after arriving at the hotel the next day, waking up again at 10 a.m.

A few of them slept first, and then arrived at the hotel and started working for a few hours. The rest of the time...... The head coach didn't say anything, and several temporary assistant coaches had already left to supervise the players' training. So they didn't go over to supervise the players' training during this time period.

Chen felt that at this time, the players were playing a fierce game against the Hornets yesterday. Let them train for a little more time today, and it is estimated that the combat power will be greatly reduced at night. So I didn't ask them to train too much.

Only three temporary assistant coaches were allowed to supervise in advance, and the players did not need to be reminded if they had less than 10 minutes of training. Although they were still a little physically tired, the Nets players were still mentally relaxed and didn't feel too tired.

"I think it's better to have Russell and Jeremy Lin on the court at the beginning," Chen took a few chairs in the room and arranged them in a circle, sitting on one of the chairs himself. The teaching assistants were now looking in his direction. Communicate with colleagues around you from time to time.

"Chen, if you say this, we may fall into a more passive situation in the later stage. The current Lakers are very good in terms of player configuration in my opinion! Their new players are quite powerful, Thomas Jr., and Channing, the Lakers' forward line players are also relatively strong! In that case, let's not just start like this, we just need a player who can score well."

Chen nodded approvingly. These TAs should still be careful when they are in a meeting. Sometimes they really struggle for a problem or an idea. Chen learned what they looked like last season.

There have been two occasions this season when we almost got into a fight...... So now he tries to take care of the emotions of these colleagues.

"I don't think you're right! So you can guarantee that you won't be thrown into garbage time by the opponent in the previous matches?! What if Kobe Bryant and Nash come up together? Aren't we becoming more passive! Messina suddenly sat up straight and startled Chen Yinan......

"I don't think either of these ideas should be used. The bench Nick and Jefferson should be put on the court. Playing the guard position, we're going to see what the Lakers are like, didn't they lose a few games in the front," Jim said at this time.

"Didn't you speed up the team's entry into garbage time?!" Messina was in a bit of a hurry at this time, and he thought that the manager's arrangement was okay.

"Wait a minute...... Chen immediately raised his hand, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. They're waiting to see what the manager thinks.

"Yuduka, you said you can find a good score. Otherwise, if you look at it, the other side has done a good job in terms of organization, whether it is Ball or Thomas Jr. So my thinking is Russell doesn't go up and let Burke play the starting role in this game, what do you think? ”

The show stopped their discussion and avoided escalating their arguments. I also quickened my thinking. Both views can actually be done. Chen, however, prefers the former.

The Lakers aren't playing well right now, though. But it can also be seen in the video of the previous game. Wharton's mood during the game clearly didn't look good. So there is still some pressure on the team in this situation.

In a stressful situation, either the team will have chaos in the game, or they will be able to explode a few games right away! Chen's concern is the possibility of the latter. Therefore, the early lineup is too good, and there may indeed be a more passive situation later. Thinking that Lopez, who has been cultivated by the Nets for many years, joined the Lakers, it still makes him uncomfortable.

The Lakers have traded well in recent seasons! They were in that position last season and it should only be temporary!

After some time of discussion, Egyptian Diyus and Russell were finally replaced. Allen and Burke go first.

When I came to the Staples Center arena and saw the number of fans in the stadium, I was a little surprised! Today's game almost filled the crowd!

It's still quite attractive to think about the recent sports news trailer about this game! Although Thomas Jr. has played an average of more than 3 minutes less than during his time with the Cavaliers, he is more efficient than in Cleveland!

Since there are more excellent players in the Lakers now, and veterans have to be arranged, the players have almost been compressed to a certain extent in terms of time! In addition to being a little depressed, Wharton's mood is that he is a little anxious now, with such a lineup, if he can't play well, the team may really have to change coaches next season!

For the players in the team, their stats speak for themselves! Maybe some players rely on their teammates to feed them the ball to score good points. But when he goes to other teams, he can also arrange such teammates.

But it's not so easy for a two-way defender like Thomas Jr. to play well! First of all, the competition for defenders is not so weak for each team right now! Some are very competitive in the defender position.

And the reason why he ended up in the starting lineup with such height and substitute status in Boston is because his individual ability is really good! One has played an amazing result, and the other is an iron-blooded coach!

The Celtics, who had Thomas Jr. back then, still made people watch it more enthusiastic! And after being traded, it seems that he is not so optimistic. The team traded him away, and as a result, some fans thought that he chose to leave...... When leaving, some fans burned the Celtics jersey with Thomas Jr.'s number, and the voice in the media said it was unfair to Thomas Jr.

And the Cavaliers didn't play long and now come to the Los Angeles Lakers! What the Lakers need right now is a strong player! Little Thomas fits this perfectly!

One is Thomas Jr., who surpassed Iverson in data that year! One is Burke, who was found to have a similar answer in the recent season! The audience is looking forward to their meeting!

After a while, the players on both sides were already standing! The crowd is already cheering! The lineup on the Lakers' side is Lopez, Deng, Ingram, Kobe, Thomas Jr.! The Nets' starters tonight are Mozgov, Allen, Williamson, Burke and Jeremy Lin!

Some fans felt like Chen Yinan from Brooklyn had heard their hearts and let Trey play at this time!

When the game started, Lopez got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Kobe! The cheers from the scene immediately rose to a loud end! Although the team's final ranking in the regular season last season made him uncomfortable. But this season's Kobe Bryant still feels more satisfied!

For the arrival of Thomas Jr., Kobe Bryant also got along well with him. It's like when my sister-in-law came. Such a player is not very valuable, though. But their performance is already at star level!

You can leave him alone during the game! Thomas Jr. was a leader-level player when he was in the Green Shirts!!

Ingram was a little surprised after receiving Kobe's pass, but was directly interfered with when Williamson forced his shot! Thomas Jr. quickly rushed in to get the rebound, and after a feint, he shook Allen away and scored a jumper!

The Nets were a little surprised! He actually got a rebound right away and scored quickly in it! Williamson tees to Burke on the sidelines. The atmosphere at this time began to heat up!

Thomas Jr. didn't immediately go over to defend, he was waiting for him at the back! The two smaller players competed. Bryant to Jeremy Lin's side. Actually, now Tre is playing at shooting guard.

Facing the guy in front of him, Burke was also ignited! After a few moves, he still didn't get rid of little Thomas! Seeing that there was not much time, Burke forced his shot so that the opponent immediately received a foul! The basketball goes through a beautiful arc in the air and hits the board into the basket!

Little Thomas, who was already almost defended to his face, watched Burke stand by the free throw line with some disbelief, and successfully got 2+1 after hitting the ball! At this time, the Nets' bench was already boiling there!

Lopez came out to get a jump shot after the basketball, and Deng got the rebound and then passed it to him. Ingram hits a three-point shot after receiving the ball from Lopez on the outside! 5：3！

This game is now feeling the pressure on the Brooklyn side! Kobe Bryant hasn't made a move yet! Thomas, Ingram and Lopez are strong enough on the field, okay?!

Both sides are testing each other's game! After Williamson took over the basketball, Deng and Ingram immediately raised their vigilance! Facing the two of them, Williamson's shot in the air missed!

Ingram's words are still relatively thin. But Deng is fighting with the other party! There is no need for Williamson to fight this with the other party at this time. Besides, the time is not quite right, what are you fighting with him? Who gets hurt first?

Mozgov got a rebound. Allen takes his pass and dunks to score! 5：5！

Thomas Jr. slowly went to the frontcourt, and Kobe Bryant received the basketball after signaling.

"You, come here," Bryant said to Williamson, who was next to Ingram, as he dribbled the ball. Williamson is also quite interested in players like Kobe.

"I'll wait for you to come over~" Williamson said to the Black Mamba with a smile~ The surrounding atmosphere suddenly eased a lot. The expression on Bryant's face also relaxed a little. This guy is really like James said.

The relaxed expression only stayed on Kobe's face for a few seconds and then disappeared immediately! At this time, Lin was ready to defend, and Kobe Bryant sped up his speed and then took the position in the corner! Lin was directly passed because of the other party's rhythm! Allen saw it and came over to defend it, and after being directly shaken away by Kobe, he jumped directly to Williamson and scored 2 points into the net!

In full view of everyone, Kobe Bryant scored points on a jumper in front of Williamson after passing the two!! 7：5！ The audience began to shout at this time!

“MVP！ MVP！ Williamson's expression froze a little at this time. After obviously knowing the other party's intentions, he still didn't guard against him! The Lakers still have such a strong guy!

Kobe Bryant is now playing for the Lakers, so he naturally follows the coach's arrangement. What Walton meant was that players like Kobe and Nash wouldn't have played much of their playing time. More time will be reserved for young people.

Because if the younger generation doesn't play well, the team can't count on the veterans to fight with other teams on the field! And Kobe Bryant's job is more relaxed, he can create opportunities for his teammates on the court, or he can choose to attack by himself!

Lin carries the ball to the front court, and Trey sees Williamson running for this and immediately gets Lin's pass. Now Williamson stands up, and Burke directly uses his body to block Thomas Jr. and go in quickly to throw and score points! 7：7！

Strangely, Burke's goal was cheered on by someone at the scene, albeit not very loudly. The Lakers also got to know the new player right away. He's been pretty good in every game since he came to the Nets!

Kobe Bryant still held the ball to the frontcourt, and Lopez quickly ran to the bottom corner and took the basketball to hit a three-point shot! 10：7！ Now Lopez's three-point shooting is really getting more and more accurate! This season's three-point shooting rate has reached 39%!

Burke took Allen's serve to the frontcourt, and Williamson quickly got the basketball and went straight to Ingram!
