The first half of the second quarter was the playing time of the substitutes, and because of the trade, the confrontation between the substitutes was more intriguing than the previous main game.

In Tang Shuai's trade, Randle and Louis Williams were both bargaining chips in the trade, and these two were the main players of the Lakers last season, and now they are wearing Clippers jerseys, which is indescribably weird.

In terms of talent, these players of the Clippers are obviously more dominant, but this group of players of the Lakers is not bad, and they have also played well under the leadership of Gasol, especially Stephenson, whose outstanding performance with the Grizzlies in the second half of last season has improved his competitive state very much, and he is active on the court like a guard version of Jade.

The game is the best way for players to build a tacit understanding, and this group of players signed from all over the world in the offseason is slowly getting stronger on the court.

Thanks to the excellent performance of the substitutes, Tang Shuai got a full rest in the second quarter, and when he came up in the second half, his hand was still there, leading the team to continue to maintain the lead.

58-52, at halftime, the Lakers still maintained a six-point lead, although the difference was not big, but it was different from what fans expected.

Tang Shuai didn't shoot much in the second quarter, but at the end of the first half, he still shot 12 of 15 and scored a team-high 26 points.

The score of 26 points is even more than half of the Clippers' halftime score, not to mention other performances, this score alone is enough to show the importance of Tang Shuai to this Lakers team.

And this kind of performance, before the game is over, many fans have already scolded Dave Waugh on the Internet. Er is a stupid pig, if Tang Shuai is still on the Clippers and takes advantage of the salary cap to sign a practical small forward in the offseason, then the Clippers will really become the favorite to win the championship!

"I know you guys have a good relationship with Don, but it's a game! If you don't want to win, just let me know out loud now and I can make him sit on the pitch for the whole time! If you still want to win, pout your ass and treat my opponents fiercely! It doesn't matter who the opponent is! In the Clippers' locker room, Cassel was yelling at his players.

Player trades are out of his control, but playing into such a situation with the Lakers, who were only improvised in the offseason, is clearly unacceptable to him.

The Clippers players all chose to remain silent, in fact, they didn't play too badly in the first half, but Tang Shuai's excellent play still made them fall behind.

Compared to examining their own performance, they obviously complain more about Wo. The trade that Er made in the offseason, if Tang Shuai was still on the team, the current situation would definitely not be as good as it is now, at least the Lakers, it will definitely not be able to play so well.

Seeing that the players were silent, Cassel wanted to shout a few more words, but he also knew what the players were thinking, and the words turned into a long sigh.

"Sam." Just then, a voice came from the door of the locker room.

Dave Waugh. Er, with an ugly face, appeared at the door of the locker room.

If Tang Shuai's outstanding performance makes someone the most embarrassed, then this person must be Wo. That's it.

"Dave." Kassel put away his anger and turned to Vau. Er greeted.

The Clippers also turned their heads to look at Wogh. Er, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and the general manager of the team decided whether they could continue to stay in the team, let alone Wo. They have seen the cold-bloodedness of yours.

"Manager Dave." Paul greeted.

Fertile. Er nodded, then motioned for Cassel to follow him out of the locker room.

"Sam, what's going on? How did the team's defense get so bad? "As soon as I walked out of the locker room, Wo. Then he said quickly.

Cassel was helpless for a while, Tang Shuai's offensive ability was clear to him, and only by sending someone to entangle him could he be restricted, but last season's outside defender Brewer had been replaced by Wo. Er traded away, the team can really have no access to the top person at all, and now question him, he really has a kind of unspeakable feeling that a smart woman is difficult to cook without rice, and he has a feeling of unspeakable suffering.

Seeing that Kassel was silent, Waugh. Er's angry teeth itched, and then said unceremoniously: "Sam, you know that it is impossible for a team without defense to win the championship, and you also know what Mr. Ballmer is willing to buy the Clippers with 2 billion, as a hobby, if he is not in a good mood, I can't guarantee your position at that time." ”

Threat! Red. Bare. Naked threats!

Cassel was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I know, Don's trade makes you angry, after all, it's a player you brought out, but you have to know that the team's trade is all about Mr. Ballmer's nod, so ...... "Wo. Er lowered his voice as he spoke, "Don't die, Don's excellent performance will make Mr. Ballmer even more unhappy than losing the game." ”

Cassel was silent.

"Sam?" Fertile. Er's tone accentuated.

"I see." Cassel replied in a complicated tone.

"I know you're a coach with a lot of potential, and that's why I pushed you up in the first place, do a good job." Fertile. After saying that, he glanced at Kassel meaningfully, and then turned to leave.

Cassel looked at Wo. Er's back couldn't help but sneer.

It's obviously a sin that he did, but now he wants him to help wipe his ass, and he says it so brazenly, it's really a villain.

But it's not very pleasant. Er's style, but Wo. After all, Er is the general manager of the team, and if he wants to win this game, locking Tang Shuai is the key, he pondered for a while, then turned around and went back to the locker room.

"Dave told me what Mr. Ballmer wants this season, the Lakers are a new team, and if you don't want to leave the team too soon, take all your pieces and win this game, all of you." As soon as Cassel returned to the locker room, he said coldly to the Clippers players.

……

After halftime, Tang Shuai and his teammates from the Lakers came out of the tunnel with laughter and laughter, and after Wharton laid out the tactics, Gasol told the players a Spanish joke to let the players relax and relax.

"Toot ~"

Soon after the players from both sides returned to the pitch, the long whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the second half of the game between the two sides officially began.

Because Pau Gasol won the Lakers the right to take the lead in the opening game, the Clippers took the lead when they came back in the second half.

Paul dribbled to the front court, Tang Shuai looked up and found that the expression on his face was a little serious.

In fact, it's not just him, the other members of the Clippers team don't look very good.

Tang Shuai couldn't help but smile, remembering that when the team was behind at half-time, Cassel roared at them in the locker room a lot, and now I look at it, this time Kassel should be angry.

Paul stretched out his hand to beckon his teammates to run, and compared to the first half, the Clippers players moved significantly more, and the physical confrontation also followed.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. made an inside block without the ball, Paul hit the ball and passed in seconds, and Griffin pressed Gasol and put the ball in the basket.

The fans cheered, and the scene reminded them of the scene when Griffin blocked Gasol a few years ago.

“defnese！”

The Clippers' home morale was shaken, and the fans at the scene cheered loudly for the home team.

As soon as Tang Shuai held the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately encountered Paul's kraft candy-style defense, which was completely different from the defensive intensity in the first half.

And on either side of Paul, Booker and Ingram are ready to come over and help defend at any time.

The Clippers adjusted their defensive strategy.

Bag clip, although it is only a very common tactic on the basketball court, but he has many kinds of subdivisions, such as the bag used in the first half of Kassel, which should be called a delay bag, which is put on pressure by the inside player, so that the ball carrier can not easily break through or divide the ball, and when his ball holder passes the ball, the inside player can quickly retreat, which is often called a big delay.

Among the types of bag clips, this is a relatively conservative one, but it is also more physically economical.

However, after coming back in the second half, Kassel began to pack in the real sense, one person led the defense, and two people assisted the defense, regardless of physical strength, and was determined to defend against Tang Shuai.

Seeing the defensive changes on the field, Wo in the stands. You finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Kassel really knew the times.

He turned his head to look at Ballmer again, as long as the Clippers blocked Tang Shuai, he could talk to the boss again in the next second.

Tang Shuai lowered his center of gravity, and after realizing that the Clippers' defense had changed, he had to make changes on the offensive end.

Grabbing the ball with both hands and flicking it hard in front of him, after gaining enough space for his breakthrough, he dribbled to the right and accelerated and rushed forward.

As soon as he moved, Booker on the right flank followed suit.

He didn't mean to stop, and continued to press Paul in.

Booker's bag was in place, and Paul and Paul wrapped him in dumplings.

"Sam is still a very good coach, I just reminded him in midfield, and his defensive changes in the second half worked...... "Seeing that Tang Shuai is going to be defended, Wo. Er couldn't wait to ask Ball for tacit credit.

However, before he said this, the situation on the field suddenly changed, Tang Shuai, who was originally caught in the bag, actually pulled the ball behind him with his right hand, and then passed the ball directly without turning his head!

Don't look at people passing!

Tang Shuai has been prepared for a long time! After realizing the Clippers' bag adjustment, if he still pushes in, it is not upright, but stupid!

He's obviously not stupid, and Booker's bag means that Batum on the right side has an open opportunity.

In fact, Batum's three-point shot is inconsistent, which is why Booker dared to come over to help defend.

After Batum received the ball, he didn't shoot a three-pointer, but took a big step forward and then shot a long-range two-pointer.

If it's unstable, then get close to the point of casting!

A perfectly normal choice, but it made Booker a little speechless.

"Huh!"

Batum's two-point steady pocket, Wo. The second half of Er's sentence shrank back abruptly.

Ballmer's face became more and more ugly. (To be continued.) )
