Chapter 521: The Battle for the Top of the List
This is the second meeting between the Bulls and Lakers this season, and the two teams are only one win away. The Bulls have played 58 games www.biquge.info regular season, and the Bulls' record is 54-5 and still trails the Lakers' 55-4.
This red-purple battle is key for the Lakers, and if they win, the advantage will be further extended, and the remaining 24 games of the season will never face the Bulls again, and the top spot may continue into the playoffs. If they lose, the two teams return to the same position with the same number of points.
The Chicagoans have dominated the league for many years and have no intention of playing at full strength in the regular season this season, and the Lakers' loss is likely to re-energize the Bulls' desire to dominate the table, in which case, they will once again have home-court advantage in the playoffs.
What's the situation? Yi Yang didn't play? Playing rotation? Rose's courage is also getting bigger and bigger, and such an important game actually rests the team leader!
The starting lineup Donkey Kong, Xiao Xiaoyi, Candy, and Thompson are all there, but there is no basketball Satan, and he is replaced by substitute guard Joseph. What kind of plane? Do you want to give up strategically? I don't want a good home field advantage, and it's too much to see!
But Yi Yang was not seen on the bench, even if he was suspended, he should go with the team, so as not to miss the game? Could it be that something is going on in this kid's house? Or are you feeling unwell and taking time off?
The Big Five looked at the Bulls lineup on the court and made eye contact with each other, all curious about Yi Yang's absence. "This thing has always been healthy, I've never heard of him having a headache and brain fever, what's going on today?"
"Powell, don't bother, say something heart-wrenching. Lao Tzu can't wait for him to play, in that case, we will have a show this year. Remember? Yi Yang gave up the playoffs in his first season with the Bulls because of a family problem, otherwise it would not be easy for the Celtics to win four consecutive championships that year. ”
"Who doesn't know about this, it was caused by his brother's disappearance. But the news didn't say anything about Yi Ming's situation, the Bulls vs. the Nets on the court, and people were still sitting on the sidelines watching the game! ”
The Bulls players look very calm one by one, and they don't look like there is a problem with the star of the house, so what is the reason for Yi Yang to give up this important game? The Lakers will have a lot of talk in their hearts, and they seem to be more concerned than the Chicagoans.
Without the core of the team, Rose's tactics have also changed. Donkey Kong's incomparable inside advantage is the main starting point of their attack. The style of play is very clear, through the running of the four, try to hand the ball to Victor, and he initiates the impact on the Lakers' rebounds.
As long as there is no Satan, everything is fine. Coach Mike's ability to manage players is limited, but the level of command is still there. Without any real talent, Buck is just a good personal friend with him, and he will not joke with the fate of the team.
Defensively, Teague played against Donkey Kong, and Da Silva assisted in the defense. Powell defended Xiao Xiaoyi, Justin, Rudolph nailed Candy and Thompson plus a rookie Joseph.
The offensive end is even simpler, and it is indeed difficult for Teague to defend Victor, but no one in the league has done a better job of containing the inside gate. The two are relatively close in height and weight, and they can't attack and can't let the Russians hold up the canopy.
Justin, Powell plus the backcourt double gun, there are many offensive points to choose from, these four people have all-round skills, especially Da Silva and Rudolph, three-point shooting is elusive, and the shooting rate is super high.
The two starters came and went, and they played happily, although there was no Yi Yang, but they also made a tie, and after two quarters, the Lakers were only 2 points ahead of the Bulls.
In the third quarter, the gap between the bench lineup was clear, the thickness of the Lakers' bench was obviously more than one grade higher than that of the opponent, the backcourt double guns were not very old, full of physical energy, and the other three kings could also take turns to play, the offense became more and more fluid and sharp, and the Bulls were very difficult to deal with.
Although Donkey Kong is violent, his physical strength is somewhat inferior to these people. Huge in size, it consumes more energy to move than other players, and the center's footwork is not comparable to the other four positions, and once off the court, the advantage under the basket is completely lost.
Although Xiao Xiaoyi can temporarily make a cameo appearance in the No. 5 position, he is still a little lacking in experience, his versatility is stronger than the backcourt double gun, and his long-range shooting crosshair is inferior. Joseph is even worse, he was originally a backup point guard, because Yi Yang was absent, he had to start temporarily, and the other bench players needless to say, they were all food delivery goods.
Candy and Thompson weren't always on the court, and the final quarter was when both sides came along. Relying on the large number of soldiers, the Lakers began to gradually open the score, and by the end of the third quarter, they had led the Bulls by as many as 12 points at 86:74.
"Damn little Anthony, when he gets hurt, he retires when he's at his worst. If he's here, we'll be much better off. And that playboy, who owes some romantic debts everywhere, this time it's okay that the backyard is on fire, and I don't know if I can settle those difficult beauties! ”
It turned out that Yi Yang's absence was a huge harem In addition to the problem, his rumored girlfriends were not fuel-efficient lamps except for Jiazi, Ximenqing had been doing it for a long time, and the sequelae appeared.
Victor was anxious, but Rose didn't let him go into battle, and at this time, Donkey Kong was used, and the fourth quarter would be difficult.
"Man, why are you in a hurry, didn't the boss say it! You don't have to work so hard in the regular season, the playoffs are the real time. If the Lakers want to be in the limelight, they can do it. Let the Angelenos bounce first, and then clean them up in the finals. ”
"Candi, you're so optimistic. Losing the top spot in the overall table, the big five will have home advantage in the finals, don't underestimate the opening game, once they are ahead, we will become very passive. In the polar bears, if he hadn't lost the first place in the league, Ivanovic would not have died of a sudden overdose. ”
"If he doesn't die, those medicine men won't be exposed, and if you can't get the championship, it's the polar bear. I really don't understand, Yi Yang used to value the ranking of the league so much, how could he take the initiative to give up his advantage now? ”
"Hehe, Victor, you're a little worried. Yi Yang and I have been teammates for six seasons and know Young better than you. This kid never fights uncertain battles. In the years when the Spurs were at their most rampant, the situation was even more severe than it is now, and it was not the Bulls who had the last laugh? ”
"Don't worry! When the boss finishes cleaning up his mess, there will be good fruit for the Lakers to eat. But...... What puzzles me is that this product has always had a set for women, why didn't it work this time? Originally, I wanted to ask him for advice on the means of training beautiful women, but this time, it is difficult for the Ximen officials to protect themselves! ”
