Chapter 25: Misunderstanding

The rest of the first quarter passed in such an atmosphere, and the difference between the two teams was between one and three points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets tied the Lakers at 32-32.

During the break, Williams didn't say anything about the fat man's lazy behavior on the court. He knew that Yang Yi had already paid too much for the victory of the Hornets.

Generally, rookies are the cornerstone of the team, and the playing time is about 25~30 minutes, which can not only train the rookies, but also allow them to get effective rest without causing damage to the body.

But Yang Yi is different, he averages more than 35 minutes per game. If it weren't for the fact that the Hornets really couldn't do without the fat man, he would definitely compress the fat man's playing time to less than 30 minutes.

And he has already decided that whether this game is won or lost, after that he will force the fat man to rest for a while. As the pillar of the Hornets, the fat man really gave too much for the team!

Williams didn't know what the fat man was thinking, and if he knew, he would have to fight with Williams.

Since the system was upgraded, his body has also been transformed, and it can be said that he has a completely new body, and there is no damage to his body caused by excessive fatigue. What's more, he still owes the system 300 glory points! There are still three interest per day, and if you can't win the battle, he'll be finished!

The 130-second break is not too long, and it is mainly to give the warring sides a buffer time for the managers of both teams to arrange the players who will charge into the line. There is also advertising time for advertisers, otherwise where will the huge advertising fee of the alliance come from?

"Monty, wait a minute, let me go up and take it first! The Lakers trapped me just now, and I had to go up and shoot two to find my touch. On the bench, while Williams had not yet arranged a player to play, the fat man hurriedly said.

He didn't know what the head coach thought, but the Lakers' tactics in the first quarter disgusted him. The two alliance big brothers followed him inch by inch, as if he was possessed by Jordan, is there any need for this?

"The One, are you fit to handle it? I see that you are all walking on the field, do you take a break first? "Williams made up his mind to let the fat man rest more, and naturally he won't let him play too much.

"Uh......" The fat man's face was a little ruddy, he really didn't run much. But in order to win and reward, he must play to his best strengths.

Therefore, he has to do his best to convince Williams not to let the great opportunity slip out of his hands.

"Monty, you know I didn't exercise much in the first quarter, I was very fit, so I have to take advantage of this opportunity to go up and brush up on some points. In the first quarter, the Lakers' main team consumed too much physical energy, and they couldn't play at the beginning. As long as I'm on the pitch and guaranteed to stretch the score to double digits, how about it? ”

Williams groaned. To be honest, the fat man's remarks were very tempting to him, and if he could stretch the score above ten, they would be much easier to play next.

However, he had to ask the strength and conditioning coach to observe the fat man's muscle condition before making a judgment.

"Fred, you show The One how his muscles are and see if he can continue with the next fight." Williams instructed the team's strength and conditioning coach.

Vincent squatted down to carefully check for Yang Yi, as a member of the Hornets, although he also wanted the Hornets to win, but the fat man's physical condition was much more important than the victory.

The minutiae on the bench did not escape the observation of the live camera.

Just as Vincent was checking on the fat man, the camera gave Vincent and the fat man a close-up, placing the figures of the two in front of every fan who was watching the live broadcast.

"What's going on, what's wrong with The One, is it hurt?" Watching Vinson pinch on the fat man's leg while the Hornets players around him looked serious, Barkley couldn't help but guess.

It's no wonder that he thinks so, the Lakers not far away are also confused by the behavior of the Hornets!

Could it be that The One is hurt? No wonder he didn't run around at the end of the first quarter.

"If The One gets injured, that's the end of the game." Smith looked at Yang Yi, who couldn't see his expression on the bench, and said lightly.

"That's a good point, Kenny. The Hornets and the Lakers tied together, and the player who contributed the most was not Gordon, who scored 10 points, nor Lopez, who got 4 assists, but The One, who has been watching Youzai. Without his containment and two-round outbursts, the Hornets would not have been able to withstand the attacks of the Lakers' Big Four. ”

"If The One does get hurt, the Hornets' winning streak will be over."

Unbeknownst to Williams, the fact that he asked a strength and conditioning coach to check the fat man's muscles would be guessed by others as the fat man's injury.

"Monty, The One's muscles are normal, and the body is good enough to continue playing." Vincent examined it and said to Williams firmly.

"Alright, The One, you go up to the top for a while. However, it is necessary to pay attention to safety and do not do dangerous movements. Williams patted the fat man on the shoulder and admonished with a smile.

……

D'Antoni didn't expect Yang to play at the start of the second quarter. All the substitutes he sent were on the bench, and none of the main players were on board.

In the first quarter, the Lakers started to consume a lot of energy on both ends of the floor, and now is the time to recover. Yang Yi's appearance at this time was completely unexpected by him, giving him a feeling of being caught off guard.

However, he didn't have time to adjust, so he had to let the substitutes play first.

"Defend, defend The One with all your might, Pack, Steve, Antoine, wrap him with all your might, don't give him a chance." Seeing the fat old god appearing on the court, D'Antoni couldn't help but exhort loudly.

Originally, the strength of the Lakers' bench players was much higher than that of the Hornets, but Yang Yi added many variables out of thin air at this time.

"Isn't The One injured? Why is it on at this time? Seeing Yang Yi appear on the court alive, Smith was very puzzled.

"It could have been Williams' tactic! Confusing the Lakers and confusing the public...... "Barkley doesn't know what's going on, but all kinds of speculation are still easy to come by.

Although D'Antoni told his players off the court, if Yang wanted to score, how could the Lakers bench players stop him?

Swish!

After receiving a pass from teammate Darius Miller, Yang Yi was one step from the three-point line from a 45° angle on the left side and fired a burst shot at Steve Blake and Antoine Jamison.

The basketball went into the net with precision, and Antoine and Steve were helpless. Steve is 32 years old, Antoine is 36 years old, and once the young and strong Yang Yi breaks out, it is not something they can stop at all.

At 35:32, the Hornets successfully overtook the score because of a three-point shot by Yang Yi.
