The Lakers' starting point guard is 6-foot-2 Johnson. Odom, when he saw the tall Haugist standing in the point guard position, was startled, he hadn't seen such a tall point guard for a long time!

Before jumping the ball, Odom took the initiative to go up and talk, "Hello newcomer, I haven't seen you before, is it this year's undrafted draft?" Which university? The Spurs are the best at low-ranking Taobao, it seems that you must have something outstanding! ”

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm here." Hougist didn't know how to start a small talk with someone, so he had to reply.

Hougist meant to be a Las Vegas native, but the summer league was held at UNLV's Thomas & Mark Arena, and Odom naturally assumed that Hoggist was a student at UNLV.

"You and Bennett are teammates! Can you secretly tell me if he gave David Stern any money? Why can he be the champion? I regret running last year! If I run this year, I guess I'll be the top winner! Odom sighed.

"I guess a lot of people throughout the Summer League think the same way as you! Thinking that he will be right every game

The inside player of the hand is so hard to target, I want to laugh! It seems that Bennett's election as the top pick really can't convince the public, so Hoggist is relieved.

Odom was a little surprised, "Is Bennett's popularity on the school team so bad?" None of his teammates look down on him? ”

"When I was in high school, Bennett was known as the No. 1 high school student in Nevada! I couldn't even get into Crazy March when I led a team in college, so I was embarrassed to run for a year? Hoggist said with disgust.

"Hahaha, you don't understand this! He will not run for election this year, and with his rookie level, it is estimated that he will get worse and worse! Maybe in another year, the main team of the school team will not be able to play, and if you run for election at that time, I'm afraid no one will even want the second round! Odom analyzed.

"Hahaha, what you said makes so much sense, I can't refute it!" The atmosphere between Hougist and Odom turned out to be very harmonious because of a Bennett.

The game began with the Lakers' 6-foot-11-inch tall white center Rennes. Kelly easily won the jump ball, he dialed the ball to Odom, Odom dribbled to the top of the arc, Kelly took the initiative to cover him, Horgist felt that he was tall and long-armed, even if he was behind it, he had time to interfere with Odom's shot, so he chose to bypass Kelly. Baines, on the other hand, didn't follow the defense, but just waited in the horn position to prevent Kelly from going down.

Unexpectedly, Odom actually stuffed the ball to Kelly at the moment of covering, Hougist didn't see this situation after going around, and ran a step with Odom only to find that he didn't have the ball in his hand, and Kelly, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc and was unguarded, didn't hesitate and threw a three-pointer with his hand.

“Shit！” Baines cursed in a low voice, and when he saw Kelly receiving the ball and making a quick shot, he knew that it was too late to pounce, so he turned around and went back to grab the board. It's a pity that Kelly didn't give face, and the first goal was easily hit.

"How can such a tall man shoot a three-pointer? Isn't it another big white soft? Haugist muttered to himself.

"God! How do you know his nickname? Odom asked in surprise as he stood beside Haugist.

"Uh...... UNLV has a white interior player who has the same style of play as him, and that's his nickname. ”

"Haha, do you think white players are all so soft?" Odom said half-jokingly.

"Shhhh Hougist chatted with Odom in a friendly manner while steadily dribbling to the frontcourt, Baines was already in easy position under the basket, and Hougist hoisted the ball high to Baines as soon as he raised his hand.

Hoggist was tall and lobbed the ball high, and Odom almost didn't see Haugist's pass, let alone interference.

Baines received the ball under the basket, dribbled back with force, Kelly flew directly out of the baseline, and Baines pulled it up directly with a heavy dunk.

"So don't say white people are soft......," Hougist whispered to Odom.

"It looks like the Kaihuang of my lake is going to suffer a little!" Odom shook his head and laughed.

"He shoots so much three-point, our 'Beowulf' is going to suffer!"

The Lakers attacked the frontcourt, Kelly went to the top of the arc to cover, this time Odom did not divide the ball, and broke through to the interior with cover, and Horgist bypassed Kelly and did not lose position.

Odom is also a short body type, and he is still relatively confident in his body, and he looks at Haugist's slender body and feels that he should not have a problem with him to go to the basket.

However, as soon as he came into contact with Odom, he found that he was blind, and Haugist was like a car with the engine turned off and the handbrake, and he was full of sluggishness when he moved.

Odom saw that there was no hope for a layup, and a back pass gave the ball to Kelly, who was still waiting at the top of the arc. This time Baines had an extra heart, he saw that Kelly was still walking out after covering it, so he didn't shrink the basket, and still stood at the free throw line to guard against Kelly, Kelly received the ball Baynes took a step up, although Kelly shot quickly, basically not interfered with Baynes, but the ball still grazed the bottom edge of the basket and the net from the front and slid out of the bottom line, Kelly threw an air ball.

The Lakers will run back very indifferently, which makes the Spurs a little confused.

"They're attacking too casually, aren't they? Cast three no-sticks and you're done? "The Lakers' tactics are so simple, the others haven't touched the ball in two rounds, you don't seem to have any opinions!" The crowd whispered.

"Your tactic is to let the center shoot threes on the outside, and the shooting percentage depends on the sky?" Hougist tried to trap Odom's words.

"Hehe, we have a lot of tactics! It can be said that it is ever-changing, so you can wait and see! Odom triumphantly ran back to the backcourt.

The Spurs' tactics are quite single, since Kelly can't defend against Baines, then Baines will continue to take advantage of Kelly alone. Kelly was pushed off the baseline again, allowing Baines to score easily under the basket.

The Lakers have no intention of making substitutions. Brown wanted to hurt each other with the Spurs, Kelly couldn't prevent Baines under the basket, and Baines couldn't prevent him from outside the three-point line.

"I'll just say Mike. Brown doesn't deserve to be a head coach! This tactic is nothing short of a disaster! Haugist muttered to himself.

In the end, Odom stopped playing pick-and-rolls with Kelly and gave the ball to small forward Devin. Ibanks, who himself pulled to the bottom corner, was trying to see how complicated Odom's kaleidoscopic tactics were, but saw Ibanks holding the ball at the top of the arc and Kelly doing a pick-and-roll coordination.

Haugist asked with a black line on his face, "This is what you said about complex and changeable tactics?" ”

"At least it's a little fancyr than your center's infinite singles, right?" Odom smirked.

Ibanks burst inside and headed against Malcolm. Thomas made a strong layup, but was blocked by Baynes in the back row with all his might. The ball flew to the top of the arc and fell into Kelly's hands again.

"I'll go, is he a basketball vacuum cleaner? Why do the balls keep flying into his hands! "Hoggist thought it was incredible. At the same time, Kelly, regardless of the feelings of his opponent or even his teammates, made a resolute shot again and hit this super open three-pointer.

Hougist shook his head helplessly, dribbled to the frontcourt, Baines seemed to be looking for physical contact with Kelly, and stuck his position under the basket early, with his back to the ball, Hoggist hit the ball to Baines, and Baines took advantage of the situation to prepare to hit Kelly's third.

But he didn't expect Kelly to play a trick, he took the initiative to put his face behind Baines, Baines elbowed, Kelly leaned back slightly, Baines's elbow slipped from the tip of his nose 1 centimeter away, and the wind blew his face painfully, Kelly treated his elbow

As he slid over, he fell sharply and fell on his back, rolling on the ground with his face covered.

The referee decisively blew for an offensive foul on Baynes, and the ball was returned to the Lakers.

Baines complained to the referee: "What? Are you blind? I didn't even run into him! ”

It may be that Baines was too aggressive, and his complaint was taken as a threat by the referee, who made up for a technical foul.

Baines wanted to say something more, but Haugist quickly grabbed him and dragged him to the sidelines. Coach Siafer requested a timely substitution and replaced Baynes with this year's undrafted black player Dwayne from USC. Dedmon.

Although Dedmon is 7 feet tall, he has excellent athleticism and physical talent is a little better than Baines, but the offensive and defensive ends, especially the offensive end, are too rough and still need to be polished. But his defense can at least be extended to near the three-point line, and defending Kelly is no problem.

Kelly hit a technical foul and the Lakers had a 7-4 lead.

"The free throws are quite stable, and it is rare for a center to be so stable after Yao Ming's free throws!" Hogist sighed.

After the free throw, the Lakers still had the ball, and Odom replied near the halfway line: "Kai Huang is a three-point shooter, and free throws are not a piece of cake." ”

After saying that, Odom gave the ball to the scoring guard again, and the Celtics selected Marshand, who was known as Kobe Bryant Jr. that year. Brooks, Brooks faced off against the undrafted O'Hughes from RMU (IL). Jeffers, Brooks is already an old fritter in the NBA, he has a lot of experience in playing this kind of game, he knows the mentality of many undrafted players to play summer league, and he wants to perform very hard, but he is cautious and afraid of even the slightest mistake, so the whole body will look very stiff, unless it is a particularly confident player will be a little relaxed.

Brooks kept changing hands under his crotch and dribbling forward, and Jeffers slid back to keep a distance of one step to prevent Brooks from breaking through, but Brooks advanced to 12 feet away from the basket and suddenly turned around with a large crotch, his back against Jeffers, and began to play back.

Jeffers held his left hand high and was ready to interfere with the shot, and his right hand hung down at his waist and ready to break the ball from behind. Brooks smiled lightly, "The defensive posture is very good, but it's not enough to defend me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Brooks collected the ball and turned around to shoot backwards and jumpers, Jeffers pounced directly to block it, but he fell on Brooks's time, Brooks closed the ball and turned around just pretending to lean back, but the pivotal foot did not leave the ground, seeing Jeffers jump as he expected, a short body let Jeffers go, took another step forward, and easily scored a layup with a low hand.

Brooks was relatively friendly, he didn't make up the knife after he succeeded, he turned his head and ran back without saying a word, and Hougist patted Jeffers on the shoulder and comforted: "Take it easy, don't be so nervous, don't be afraid to make mistakes to show your strengths!" ”

"Aren't you nervous?" Jeffers adjusted his breathing and said with difficulty.

"I was similar to you when I played the first game last year, and the brothers led by more than 20 points in the first half, and I started point guard in the second half, and the Spurs led a wave of the Heat to turn around."

"Then you're so much worse than me!" Jeffers's mind calmed down a lot.

"I'll go, I'm not here for you to find a balance! I still had 3 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound and 1 block in the first game! I'm trying to tell you, don't waste your energy, just relax and you'll find that the game is a lot easier than you think. ”

"Alright! Maybe I'm not as good as you after typing today! Jeffers laughed at himself, seemingly relieved.

Hoggist dribbled across the half court, thinking that Kelly was so soft, he could continue to make a fuss about him! Baines went down, or I'd give one a try?

Haugist asked Dedmon to come up to cover at the top of the arc, Dedmon was thick and had a large cover area, and could have blocked Odom solidly, but Odom was much more flexible than Haugist imagined, and he actually turned around Dedmon directly and reappeared on Horgist's side. Odom got rid of Dedmon's delay after circling around, and Kelly didn't switch defenses, defending Dedmon's down at the top of the arc.

Hoggist said in his heart that a block can't keep you, so you have to force me to do my best! Since you are flexible, I will let you fall on your flexibility! Kelly, if you dodge, this round will let you escape first!

Haugist dribbled the ball directly from his right hand to his left hand and made a pull stop, which Odom easily braked and followed to the left of Hoggist.

Horgist took advantage of Odom's move to his left, suddenly accelerated to the right to dribble, cut past Odom in one step, strode into the inside, shook Odom far away, jumped easily in the empty paint area, and slid with one arm to dunk.

"Unbelievable!" Jeffers was dumbfounded, he was similar to Hoggist, Jeffers never thought Hoggist could be much better than himself, but Hoggist's mentality won a lot first, and this wonderful breakthrough was even more unattainable for himself. While Jeffers admired Hoggist, he was also a little sad.
