In the first half, what the Lakers lacked the most was excitement. From the second half of the first quarter to the end of the second quarter, they were trapped in an eerie cold atmosphere. There was no big bang and they looked like they were getting their job done.

Such a performance is clearly not satisfactory to the fans. It's not which team fans want to see, and it's not the Los Angeles media that has been promoting the so-called "City of Angels that has been revitalized" for a year. It's just a team that looks like they have a deep squad but a lack of enthusiasm for the game.

In an effort to change the atmosphere on the pitch, Cecilia replaced Simon Oliver. Replaced with a player who retired with the Lakers - Toin Davide.

Toin was one of the most unbelievable players of the last era, battling Kant James and Moe Cook to lead the Thor to a perennial championship. But every time he returned with a feather. Today, he is 39 years old and has more than a year left on his pension contract. He made it clear that he would retire when his contract expired.

For an all-time superstar like him, who has won almost all of his individual honors except for the Finals MVP, nothing can alarm him. He joined the Lakers just for a wish.

To put it bluntly, he just hopes to use his current decrepit body to ride the Lakers, a giant ship with a bright future, to fight for a championship ring for himself. On this road, no matter what role he plays, he is willing. Because, all he wants is a ring.

The old spicy players are best suited to break the solidification. At the start of the second half, Toon got a pass from a team-mate. Wang Weiyu, who was standing in front of him, was educated by him like a junior high school student in the past, and now he has grown into one of the top names in the league.

"Long time gone, Toyin." Wang Weiyu still remembers the dilemma of meeting Toin in his rookie season. Toyin laughed, "You've become great, W." "I accepted your guidance back then, and I will return them one by one today." Wang Weiyu said.

Toyin is old, his speed is gone, and his explosiveness has nothing to do. What he has is height, it is arm span, and this is a talent that will not change after a long time. He has other things, such as the psychological quality of not being surprised. has seen countless storms and waves, and then on this kind of stage, there is no possibility of unbalanced mentality.

Toin did the same thing he did when he was younger, relying on height and making strong three-point shots. He lost his speed and explosiveness, and Wang Weiyu could interfere with his shots.

"Huh!" Toyin is still the same Toyin after all. Wang Weiyu sighed helplessly, "It's really an old goblin." "Let me see how you are ready to repay me." Toyin said. Wang Weiyu said: "You will see, soon, I promise!" ”

Wang Weiyu received a pass. In order to give him this ball, the others deliberately opened up the space. Even Merris is dormant on the right flank, ready to retreat at any moment.

"These guys are really unruly, let you beat me this old man." Toyin scoffed. Wang Weiyu said: "Who told you that you are the biggest hole on the court of the Lakers? "Beware of getting my old spirits." Toyin said in an old-fashioned manner.

Breakthroughs happen in an instant. Wang Weiyu's dribble speed is not the fastest in the league, but it is enough to rank among the top streams. Toyin's old arms and legs are not easy to keep up. But he followed, he didn't think too much about it, thinking that his speed was not slowing down.

In fact, this is Wang Weiyu's conspiracy. When Wang Weiyu started to make a layup, Toyin couldn't help but fight, and the sensitive referee whistle sounded. Wang Weiyu held the ball in his right hand and held it up flatly, just like a tota. Feeling his body falling, he was sure that there was no more threat, so he used his fingers to pick up the ball.

"Huh!" Wang Weiyu said to Toyin: "This is a tribute to you, please smile." "You guy—" Toin could only smile wryly.

Cecilia rubbed her forehead helplessly. The current situation could be predicted when Toyin was replaced, and he just hoped that this moment would come later. Unexpectedly, Wang Weiyu immediately grabbed Toyin and beat him violently.

"Simon, get ready to play." Cecilia said. Simon walked to the sideline and leaned against the billboard.

"The old guy has the advantages and disadvantages of the old guy, Toin's shooting skills have been perfected, however, his pace is too slow to keep up with W, let him play, he will have to face W's continuous attacks, W will not let go of such an opportunity." Bryant analyzed. O'Neill said: "It's the same aging, and the impact of the outside line is far greater than the inside line. "Yes, the offense and defense of the outside line need physical fitness as support, and if the inside line loses the explosiveness of its youth, it can still rely on its height and arm span to provide combat power." O'Neill said.

About this, Kobe Bryant has deep feelings. In the last years of his playing career, he suffered a major injury and has lost his explosiveness since his return. In those years, his form plummeted, and he eventually withdrew. So much so that someone said, "The real Kobe Bryant was retired when he tore his Achilles tendon." ”

Toyin continued to get the ball. Wang Weiyu was wary and no longer gave him room to make a move. Toyin could only use his size advantage to protect the ball in his hand.

"Go my way!" Bender gave him a pick-and-roll. Toyin saw that the timing was good, got rid of Wang Weiyu, and stopped the shot. It was an opportunity, and he was in a hurry. The ball bounced off the basket a few times and fell out.

Wang Weiyu walked under the basket, where the crowd was crowded, and it was difficult to get a place. Wang Weiyu is here just a pretense, and what he has to do is in the back.

By the time Toin understood, it was too late. Wang Weiyu used Merris's back cover like a leopard hiding in the bushes to rush out of the three-point line. Montgomery's ball was flicked into the hands of the sprinter. After receiving the ball, Wang Weiyu's backhand was a three-point shot in a drifting state.

The ball slid across the front basket, touched the back, bounced, and fell into the basket in the middle.

"It's too slow! He can't keep up with W! Seriously, let Bender's defense W be better than Toin's! Bryant shouted. What did Cecilia not know about this? He shouted and let the player deliberately foul.

Simon is on the pitch. Toyin played a minute and a half, shooting 1-of-2 for a 3-pointer.

Toin's departure meant that the Lakers' tactics failed. How much can Simon's return be saved? In Ceciria's mind, the odds of winning this game are getting slimmer.

The Kings also made a substitution. Walter Jean replaces Wang Weiyu.

"68-52, the Kings lead by as many as 16 points," seeing such a score, the two Lakers celebrities were heartbroken.

O'Neill said, "This is Staples, how did they fight so lifelessly?" "Anyway, let the fans see such a disgusting game, this gang should be punished!" Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth, and the murderous aura in his eyes seemed to be back from the terrifying No. 24.
