"Well done, Al, keep going." During the break at the end of the first quarter, Williams praised Aminu heavily from the bench.

Without him in the middle, it would be difficult for the Pelicans to make a flowing style. In fact, if Yang Yi's organization can also achieve this effect, but the team is just a super shooter, and it is really useless for him to play the center strategy, which makes the Pelicans lose the firepower they rely on to compete with the Lakers.

"Al, yes!" The fat man patted Aminu on the shoulder. Centering is a technical job, he didn't expect Aminu to do such a good job, and he didn't make a mistake in the first quarter.

In the face of the praise of the head coach and the boss of the team, Aminu didn't speak, just laughed.

In fact, his heart was like honey, very sweet. The sense of accomplishment that he can play in the middle of the stressful playoffs and connect with his teammates is much stronger than when he spends a lot of money in nightclubs.

Putting hundreds of millions of family wealth away from taking care of it, but working hard in the NBA, isn't it the basketball dream, isn't it just what is in front of you?

Besides, all his teammates have improved this season, and he can't stand still! He deeply understands that with Yang Yi as the leader, they can make great achievements in the alliance.

He's neither physically the strongest nor the most firepower in the Pelicans, and he doesn't have a piece of the action on the inside. How to survive in this thriving and energetic team is a question he must think about.

Under the arrangement of the head coach and his own exploration, he gradually developed in the direction of the planner. No, the effect was seen in the first game of the playoffs, the Pelicans played easily under his strategy, and the pressure on Yang Yi was a lot less.

The one hundred and thirty second break was not long, it was mainly used to play ads for advertisers, and it passed quickly.

Players from both teams returned to the pitch. But now it's time for the substitutes to show, and the main players of both sides are still resting on the bench!

The main players did not decide the winner, and the substitutes were crucial. This is often the time period when the two sides open up the gap, and if the substitute player on either side is good and opens the gap for the team, the main players will have a lot easier when they come on the field.

At this time, you can see the background of both sides. Although the Pelicans bench players made a lot of appearances when the Pelicans were in the limelight, overall, they were still shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with two or three big cats and kittens; The Lakers are different, they have experienced veterans such as Chris Duhon, Jordan Hill, Jamison Antoine, etc., and they are also not bad, and they beat the Pelicans off the bench as soon as they get on the court.

Not really! The Lakers' salary is the highest in the league, and the difference between the main team and the bench is not too big. In fact, many veterans came to the Lakers after watching the Lakers hit the championship, after all, the Lakers with the Big Four are suffocating on paper alone.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol are championship players, and Howard has also led the Magic to the Lakers in the Finals; Although Nash is old, the strength of the two-time MVP should not be underestimated. With such a strong lineup, for those veterans who are interested in competing for the championship, it is very cost-effective to join even with a base salary, and what they want is no longer money, but the ethereal championship.

Therefore, the Lakers' formation of the Big Four is like an oil lamp in the dark for them, attracting them to rush to it.

But who would have thought that the formation of the Big Four would not have much effect, and the Lakers almost couldn't even make the playoffs. Compared with the Lakers' F4 at the beginning of the new century, the Big Four formed this time are too much worse, although the Lakers' luxury lineup at that time also ended in failure, but after all, it was not as almost as possible to keep the playoff tickets like now!

On top of that, the Pelicans are the main culprit that caused the Lakers to almost miss the playoffs. After the run-in at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' Big Four have almost run in, and the team's record has also improved somewhat. But in the New Orleans game, the Lakers were not only beaten by the Pelicans by 18 points, losing the record that lasted for more than 40 years, but also losing the spirit that they had cultivated with great difficulty.

The Pelicans have won countless glory, but they can't afford to lose. If they hadn't had a slightly better record than the Rockets, they might have said goodbye to the playoffs completely!

As a result, the Lakers bench players will vent their accumulated resentment on the Pelicans bench players. Aren't the main players half a pound and eight taels, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat? I'm going to target you stinky boys!

That's what the Lakers bench thinks, and even more so it does. They dominated the game on both ends of the floor, completely playing with the Pelicans bench in the palm of their hands.

Of course, if Yang Yi was on the field, they probably wouldn't dare to do this. In the previous record defense battle, Yang Yi did not play cards according to common sense, and he played at the beginning of the second quarter, and a few three-pointers shot them so that they couldn't find the north. At that time, what they were thinking about was how to limit Yang Yi's play, instead of doing whatever they wanted like now.

Less than two minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers had already launched a wave of 8:2 attacks, and at 39:36, the Lakers easily overtook the score.

The Pelicans were stunned from the sidelines. Nima, this is too useless! In the first quarter, the score they finally led was overtaken like this, which is not real!

Williams saw that the momentum was not right and quickly applied for a timeout. Now it's just a three-point loss by the Lakers, but if it continues to play, according to the current momentum of the Lakers, it will not be surprising that Williams will be stretched to double digits.

In fact, Williams didn't blame them, after all, this is the playoffs, and the gap between the two sides is also very large, and it is normal to be abused!

The substitute players who came off the field drooped their heads one by one, and they were very dull. Darius Miller and Lance Thomas, who are most familiar with Yang Yi, both lowered their heads and did not speak, and they also had nothing to say.

Yang Yi originally wanted to say two sentences about them, but seeing that they were all interested, he had to shoulder the role of the team boss, hey, he was originally such a role.

"Brothers, isn't it a wave of 8:2? Don't worry about this, why don't I go up with you, and let's call 9:3 back? ”

Although Yang Yi's words were arrogant and a little funny, his teammates ate him, and he had already proved with his strength that he had this confidence and ability.

"Boss, why don't we go up and beat those old guys now. Tigers don't wield, they really think we're sick cats! Gordon was also on the sidelines.

"Go, what are you doing, I'll take them up to play." The fat man gave Gordon a slap in the head and told him not to speak.

"Haha......"

The Pelicans will be amused by Yang Yi and Gordon's performances. Although the fat man's actions caused Gordon to be dissatisfied, they successfully eliminated the tension within the team.
