Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Zen master replaced the aging Horry and sent the starting power forward of the game, Samaki Walker, instead. Although Walker didn't have the value of the No. 9 pick of the '96 golden generation, he was very athletic, as evidenced by his obsession with rebounding. Walker has a special hobby of grabbing rebounds, and Walker can also catch some difficult rebounds, relying on his superior bounce ability and anticipation ability.

Therefore, although Walker is only 2.06 meters tall, he has become O'Neal's good helper on the inside, and his blocking ability is second only to the big sharks in the whole team. Now the Zen master put him up to see the situation, if he can interfere with Arenas' breakthrough and shooting, then O'Neal can continue to rest for a while, if even he is difficult to stop Nas, it is not too late to replace O'Neal at that time, anyway, now the Lakers still have the lead, and Arenas will not be able to equalize the score for a while.

After Walker came on the court, Arenas's breakthrough layup was really limited to a certain extent, although Walker has not contributed to the block, but he can always interfere with Arenas's layups, so that the latter has to use a more physically demanding way to complete the offense. Looking at Arenas's disgraced face under Walker's marking, the Zen Master's face showed a winning smile, the firepower of the 76ers bench basically depends on Arenas, can they come up with any secret weapon now?

The answer is yes! Seeing that Arenas was annoyed by Walker's interference, Snow decisively changed his strategy, whispered to Dareham Potter and Arenas respectively, and made an OK gesture to Brown on the sidelines. As the captain of the team, Snow has a very deep understanding of the team's tactics, and Brown originally planned to call a timeout to lay out the tactics for the players, but since Snow has given instructions to the two rookies, out of trust in him, it is better to see what happens next.

Snow didn't give the ball to Arenas this time, but instead hit the ground and passed the ball to Dareham Porter on the inside. Durham Porter has been conscientiously covering and grabbing rebounds before, and the only way to score is to grab the rebounds in the front court and then attack twice, which makes the whole Lakers team think that this simple-looking guy has no independent offensive ability at all.

So when Durham Porter received the ball, no one came up to defend except for backup center McCoy, and everyone still focused on Snow and Arenas. Facing McCoy, who has a significant difference in height from himself, Delham Porter adjusted a little and hit a mid-range shot without jumping at all, giving McCoy no time to react. This is what Snow has just done to Arenas and Dyrem Porter, allowing Arenas to exist as a diversion point to help Arenam Porter attract the Lakers' defense, and the latter will directly rely on mid-range shooting to score.

The 76ers' shift on the offensive end made Zen Master frown, and while he didn't believe that Durham Porter, a rookie center, could shoot his team to death, it undoubtedly freed Arenas. It's true that Durham Potter hasn't shown his passing skills yet, but he's now the tallest man of the game, and whenever he sees an opportunity, a pass is an assist.

Fortunately, the Zen master didn't expect McCoy to play for long, and he soon replaced O'Neal again, and then Durham Porter's catch-and-shoot didn't work. He is 2.11 meters tall and has a clear advantage against McCoy at 2.08 meters, but O'Neal is even taller than him, and when he is covered by the big shark, Dalem Porter can't even see the basket, and has to pass the ball to the outside for Snow to reorganize. O'Neal's intimidation under the basket is not comparable to McCoy's, and he and Walker have completely created a no-fly zone under the basket, and Arenas and Snow have only the option to shoot from the outside.

The only good news is that Bowler's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and although the interior combination of O'Neal and Walker is very good at grabbing rebounds, with the help of Teylon Hill, he still grabbed a lot of rebounds for the team, which did not allow the Lakers to take the opportunity to open up the difference. However, this is not a solution, Brown can only choose to put the starting lineup again just after 4:17 in the second quarter, by this time Arenas has scored 10 points, and the shooting percentage is not bad.

After Arenas sat back on the bench, Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How is the intensity of the NBA regular season?" I don't think you're very used to it, but it's normal, every rookie coming to the NBA from the college arena will not be adaptable, after all, the intensity of the game in these two leagues is too different, and you're already good! ”

Arenas frowned, shook his head, and said, "That's not enough, I finally realize that I still don't have a lot of things that I can't do well enough, at least I can't beat that 8 yet!" He looked at Kobe Bryant's galloping figure, his eyes burning.

Chang Wei said: "Then now you can watch how others play!" You know that you are four years younger than him, he was a high school student when he entered the league, and now he has reached this level, I believe that you can be as strong as him in the future, maybe even stronger than him, this is what I expect from you, and this is what you strive for. ”

Arenas asked rhetorically, "Chang, do you believe that this No. 8 of the Lakers can become a superstar in the league?" ”

Chang Wei nodded, looked at the sky, and said leisurely: "Superstar may not be enough to describe him, he will become another great scoring guard in history after Jordan, and the number one star of the new generation in the entire league!" You've got a long way to go to beat him, Gilbert, and I want you to be more well-rounded than he is now, and not just a scorer. ”

Arenas was a little puzzled, and he asked, "You think too highly of him, don't you?" The greatest scoring guard since Jordan? ”

Chang Wei smiled: "This is not to inspire you, Gilbert, you have to believe in my vision, Kobe Bryant will definitely become a great scoring guard." Of course, you are not bad, if you can get rid of your shortcomings and continue to improve your skills, your future achievements may not be worse than Kobe, and you may even be able to match him in the game! ”

Listening to Chang Wei's words, Arenas's eyes became brighter, Chang Wei's eyes he believed, in that case, let's work hard, at least in the previous fights, he has felt Kobe's strength, he still has a long way to go to surpass this No. 8......
