"It's finally getting started."

It was night, Los Angeles, and a soft murmur wafted through the air, bringing endless heat.

In the center of Staples, the sound was loud and loud, and the heat had completely enveloped the surrounding air.

Today is the 20th, the second day of the playoffs, the Lakers face the Salamento Kings at home today, and the two teams will face each other in Game 1 of the first round.

The reporter is constantly updating the news and reporting the progress of the game in a timely manner.

At this time, the game has been played for nearly a quarter, and the Kings are in very good shape on the court, and their momentum is not weaker than that of the Lakers.

On the scorers around the arena, the current score of the two sides is recorded, and at 21:18, the Kings are 3 points ahead of the Lakers.

With 12 seconds left in the game, the offensive ball went to the Kings, and backup point guard Isaiah Thomas held the ball to lead the final offense.

"This guy seems to be very prepared, and if you want to get him, it obviously won't work without a little effort." Chu Xuan's eyes swept and looked at Coach Mike Malone who was excitedly directing the Kings team's offense on the sidelines, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a weird smile.

Originally, Chu Xuan felt that it should be very easy to deal with the Kings. However, he obviously thinks too low of Mike Malone, this guy has pinched the shortcomings of the Lakers' aging outside, has always maintained the offensive firepower on the outside, insisted on Thornton to attack, and at the same time let Cousins dominate on the inside, in this case, the Lakers were really suppressed by them.

The opponent came prepared, the team's situation was not particularly good at the moment, as the head coach, Chu Xuan was naturally thinking of a workaround. In his opinion, the reason why the Kings were able to catch the Lakers off guard in the first quarter of the game was entirely because Mike Malone sent Wazquez to the starter.

This big point guard, who is 1.98 meters tall, has become the most advantageous point of the Kings on the court with his outstanding height and passing vision. That's why the Kings will stay ahead.

Of course, the presence of Wazquez is important, but the most fundamental thing that needs to change is the defense of the Kings' outside offense.

Obviously, it's very important to defend their scorers.

On the court, the Kings' last offense ended with a missed three-point shot by Isaiah Thomas.

The whistle sounded in the first quarter of the game, and the game entered a short break.

When the player left the game, Chu Xuan immediately made tactical adjustments: "Reggie, although you have committed 2 fouls, I ask you to maintain your fierce defensive style, just like in the first quarter, you did a very good job in the first quarter." Then, in the second quarter, we're going to put all the offense on the inside, and I'm going to focus on that, Paul, and you're going to be ready as well. ”

Chu Xuan paused for a moment and looked at Kobe: "Kobe, you have a good rest in the second quarter, and I will focus on you in the third quarter." ”

*********

Knoll scored 4 points in a row as soon as he got on the court, which immediately detonated the atmosphere of the scene.

Fans frantically chanted Norris Noore's name and cheered him on.

In today's Staples, Noll definitely has a very high status, he has been greatly recognized, and is considered to be the successor of Kobe Bryant and will lead the Lakers in the future.

Obviously, with such a position, Noll has the ball and no one feels anything wrong.

Opposite Noll is Landry, although the Divine Bird is very tough defensively, but his height disadvantage is too obvious, which makes him quite difficult to defend.

When he saw Knoll holding the ball with his back again, Landry raised his eyebrows and immediately stepped in, creating pressure on him in the physical confrontation.

However, the moment the two men touched, Knoll moved his body and made a tentative back turn.

Seeing this, Landry reflexively blocked Noll's back and turned to break through the route.

At this moment, Knoll paused, raised his hand and made a move.

"Carl Landry jumped, is he going to block Norris Noll's shot? No, that's not the case, Norris is a liar, he's not shooting at all. ”

The DJ spoke excitedly, his speed of speech was extremely fast, but he did not lose his passion.

The fans got up in an uproar and looked at the field full of excitement, for fear of missing the wonderful scene.

Noll tricked Landry into a feint of turning and dropping back, and then a dodge followed by a pick-and-roll gave the Lakers two more points.

The visual impact brought by the superb footwork and perfect scoring is quite large, and at the moment when the basketball fell into the bag, the scene suddenly erupted into deafening cheers.

When Chu Xuan saw Noor's score this time, he immediately smiled: "It's really a bit of a big dream Olajuwon, this guy's talent is really okay." It seems that if possible, it would be very nice to have him train with Olajuwon in the off-season. ”

However, after thinking about it, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, it seemed that Knoll was going to study with Anthony Davis with Chris Webber in the offseason. Obviously, if Knoll can really learn from Olajuwon, he will have to wait until next summer.

Norris Noel's talent is just fantastic, that's what everyone thinks.

It was his playoff debut, and after a low ebb of 2 points and 1 rebound in the first quarter, Knoll quickly played a strong performance that immediately sparked ecstasy and admiration from fans.

Although Knoll only faced Landry, who was average in basketball, his ability to score so easily in a row was enough to show his progress in the regular season.

Landry missed a series of defensive Noll shots, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed and annoyed.

He really didn't expect that a rookie who played in the playoffs for the first time would be able to play so well in front of him.

"Rookie, it's really a fluke that you scored this goal, you still need to exercise more." Landry said with a dark face.

Shenniao thinks that it is necessary to play some psychological tactics to get rid of this rookie.

However, to his disappointment, after hearing this, Knoll had no emotional fluctuations at all: "Are you scared? So you want to make excuses for your failures? Hehe, even if the goal was a fluke, it still scored. ”

The playful smile on Knorr's face made Landry angry again, and he vowed to guard off the arrogant rookie.

However, what made Landry even more depressed was that instead of having any fear or fear, Noll was attacking more and more resolutely under his defense, and he was more and more excited. What's more, the offensive efficiency was surprisingly high, and Knoll began to use pick-and-rolls to score from mid-range shooting.

Noll is playing more and more, and the situation on the court is more and more biased towards the Lakers' side, and under his leadership, the rest of the Lakers team has also begun to play.

Soon, the game went about 8 minutes, and Knoll's individual score in a single quarter came to 16 points, which was an incredible score.

When Knoll came off the break, the audience immediately gave fierce applause.

Looking at Knoll's 18-point personal score, the voices of the commentators were even more awe-inspiring.

"He's definitely a super talent, the future hope of the Lakers, the league's future superstar."

"Norris' talent is amazing to be able to adapt so quickly and play such an amazing offensive performance in the first playoff game."

"Is he a defender? That's what we've always said, but right now, how flashy and efficient his offense is, he's become an amazing scorer. ”

"Norris gave everyone who questioned him a hard slap in the face, and obviously, he was the best player in the '13 draft, and he deserved to be the first pick, and he deserved to be the best rookie of the year."

"Chu Xuan is really bold, he actually focuses on a rookie who has only learned to attack for a short time. However, this rookie played an incredible performance, 18 points, 16 points in a single quarter, who was able to do this in the playoffs last time? However, the important thing is that Norris is only 20 years old. ”

……

Amid endless praise, the Lakers and Kings began to ********** the first half.

Kobe Bryant still didn't play, which means he didn't play a minute in the second quarter.

It felt weird, but the Lakers still played a rare counter-attack climax.

At halftime, the score became 54-36, and the Lakers outscored the Kings by 20 points in the second quarter. (To be continued.) )
