"Bang!"

Tang Shuai turned sideways to avoid a head-on collision between the two, but he still couldn't avoid it completely, and the two had a sideways collision in the air.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Mirotic's eyes, even if he couldn't cover the ball, he couldn't let Tang Shuai dunk the goal.

His idea was very right, but just after the impact, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, Tang Shuai, who was a full size smaller than him, was like an accelerating locomotive at this moment, and he felt that the whole person was being pushed backwards.

This, how is that possible!

"Bang!"

Tang Shuai knocked Mirotic away and smashed the ball into the basket with his left hand.

The photographers on the sidelines mechanically pressed the switch, but their eyes widened.

Tang Shuai actually crashed into Mirotic and dunked the ball into the basket!

That's Mirotic! Although it is an outside line, he weighs 200 pounds, which is 50 pounds more than Tang Shuai! That's not realistic!

The fans on the sidelines rubbed their eyes, but the facts were in front of them, after Tang Shuai dunked, the green tendons of the whole person's left hand burst out, and he hung on the basket with one hand and shook it for a while before landing.

"Incredible! It's an incredible dunk! It wasn't until Tang Shuai landed that Maddie recovered from the shock, as a master of dunking, he hadn't seen such a tough dunk for a long time, which even seemed a little unreasonable.

Tang Shuai's dunk was replayed on the LED screen at the scene, and the fans at the scene were amazed again.

For example, when Griffin dunked Gasol's ball, the non-dunk player obviously pushed Gasol, but Tang Shuai, in this dunk just now, the non-dunk player always stood on one side, that is to say, he knocked Mirotic away by pure strength!

It's a dunk with no suspicion of foul play!

Tang Shuai spit out in one breath after the successful dunk, and he was not lightly hit by the collision with Mirotic, but fortunately, Carter's guidance to him, he turned sideways to let the force of the impact unload more than half, plus he borrowed his strength to transfer Mirotic's impact on him to the dunk hand, which completed the violent dunk.

But no matter how it was done, he only had one feeling now, cool!

He turned and slapped Gasol before stepping back, and he didn't have to show much, and the silence of the fans could tell how much of a demoralization blow the ball had on the home team.

The morale of the home court was damaged, Wade went to the front court and directly asked for the ball to single Stephenson, a beautiful cross step, he burst to the basket and then a beautiful spinning top dodged Stephenson's defense, and reflexively sent the basketball into the net bag.

Wade's competitive state is indeed good, and only he dares to shoot and can score at such critical moments.

“defense！”

Wade's goal lifted the morale of the home team back in one fell swoop, and the fans roared loudly.

With Tang Shuai's violent dunk and Wade's wonderful score, the situation on the court between the two sides became extremely anxious.

Tang Shuai quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, and without waiting for the Bulls' defense to be completely in place, he directly took a big step back with Gasol's body and stepped on the three-point line to shoot a dry pull.

The ball was judged by Rondo, who was following the defense, and he was about to interfere when he got up, but because he didn't control his hand during the move, he hit Tang Shuai's hand directly.

"Huh!"

Tang Shuai's pull-up jump shot hit steadily.

The linesman's whistle sounded, and Rondo's thug fouled!

After landing, Tang Shuai clenched his fists.

Hojberg shook his head on the sidelines, the Lakers players felt extremely bad in this game, and even Tang Shuai was stared at very badly, but on the contrary, Tang Shuai was always able to seize that fleeting opportunity to find a shot, and he could succeed almost every time.

Not to mention ability, Tang Shuai's judgment of timing on the field is amazing enough.

Tang Shuai walked to the free throw line and took a deep breath to hit the free throw.

15-20, led by Tang Shuai's personal super performance of 13 points, the Lakers were stunned to chase the difference to 5 points when the defensive end was completely blown up.

"Hey man, you really can't rely on one person, even though he's really strong! But come on, basketball is not a one-man sport. Maddie shook her head in the commentary seat.

Maddie's complaint did not change this form on the court, and it was not until the two sides entered the rotation time and Tang Shuai was replaced that this one-on-five situation ended.

In the first quarter alone, Tang Shuai scored 16 points, and only missed two of his 9 shots.

After Tang Shuai walked to the sidelines, he gasped as soon as he sat on the bench.

Quick offense and defense, sweeping the attack, even if he has abundant physical strength, even if he is iron-clad, he will be tossed enough at this time.

After coming off the bench, the offensive success rate of both sides dropped significantly, and after playing fast, Stephenson did play well, under his leadership, and by the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 28-36, and the difference was not further widened.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was Tang Shuai's single-handedness in the first quarter that allowed the Lakers to avoid being knocked down.

Perhaps finally realizing that the small lineup couldn't take advantage of the Bulls, in the second half of the second quarter, Wharton used the same two-tower lineup used in previous games.

After this lineup came up, the defensive intensity of the Lakers came up significantly.

The Bulls' reinforcement this summer was very successful, but there was also a fatal flaw, three-point shooting, really talking about the reliability of three-pointers, even worse than the Lakers, the three-point shooting rate of the Big Three last season, Butler 31.2%, Wade 15.9%, Rondo 34.9%, to paraphrase the fans jokingly, Rondo: I'll teach you to shoot three-pointers.

Of the Bulls' five starters, Mirotic, the power forward, shot the highest 39%.

As soon as the Lakers' twin towers came up, they had no outside offensive firepower, and they obviously couldn't make them play as smoothly as in the first quarter by breaking through alone.

In the second quarter, both sides had a much lower scoring success rate, and by halftime, the two sides were tied at 47-50, and the Lakers were still trailing by three points.

At the end of halftime, Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief, the scores in the first quarter and the second quarter were completely different, and I believe that Wharton should realize that playing a small lineup would not work.

"Brothers work hard, win this game, we are the top three in the West." As he entered the tunnel, Gasol shouted at his players.

The Lakers caught up with the score in the second quarter, Gasol was a great contributor, he only contributed 2 points in the first quarter, but in the second quarter he scored 8 points and 2 assists, using Tang Shuai's containment, he scored most of the Lakers' points.

"We'll be in the top three!" Stephenson shouted.

"Top three!"

Some players echoed, and the voices came and went, and it was obvious that the second quarter of the game had boosted the morale of the players.

Back in the locker room, the players rested for a while, and Wharton entered the locker room with a tactical board and a frown.

"Let's break down the first quarter." Wharton glanced at the team and spoke.

Hearing Wharton's words, the team members looked at each other for a while.

"Harrison, you have to pay attention to the timing of the defense, if it's Dwyan, or Jimmy is playing in the low post, you can ......go over when they lose the space to break through."

"Nolens, Harrison is out and you have to pay attention to the protection under the basket, you don't need to follow anyone, but you have to make sure that you are a deterrent under the basket and don't give the opponent an easy chance to go to the basket......"

"Nicholas, you have to be ready to help defend and as soon as they make a pass inside you have to go in right away......

"Don, Jordan, you have to be ready to defend at all times, the Bulls' offensive rotation can't be flawless, as soon as they stop the ball, we can defend it, that's the core of the small-ball strategy, I've stressed it to you before."

After Wharton finished speaking, the Lakers players were completely confused.

What does Wharton mean to play a small lineup in the second half?

Everyone else cast a glance at Tang Shuai, and at this time, Tang Shuai was obviously the one who had the most right to speak.

"Luke, you mean, we're going to play a small lineup in the second half?" Tang Shuai opened his mouth and said, he really didn't understand why Wharton insisted on using a small lineup when the second quarter was like that.

"Well, the small lineup must be used." Wharton nodded without hesitation and said, "This is the trend of basketball development in the future." ”

"But......" Tang Shuai wanted to say that the first section of Ya had been proven to be inadequate, but he hadn't said it yet.

"Ahem." Gasol coughed deliberately.

Tang Shuai noticed that Wharton's face was not very good-looking, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Gasol's cough really reminded him that Wharton was announcing it in front of so many players, and if he repeatedly questioned it, it would make him lose his prestige as a manager, and it seemed that this matter would have to wait until after the game.

When he just came back in the second half, Hojberg walked out with a sad face with a tactical board, looking at him as if he was still worried about how to deal with the Lakers' twin towers, but when the second half of the game began, when he saw the Lakers' lineup, he was obviously stunned, what tactics is Wharton playing?

He was uncertain in his heart, so he could only play according to the routine at the beginning.

As a result, the Lakers' defensive end was still blown up, and he immediately laughed, this Wharton is not giving up, and he has to play a small lineup!

comprehended this layer, he was immediately relieved in his heart, playing according to the established tactics, fighting, the lead came again, and in the cheers of the fans at the scene, the score was almost widened a little bit.

Wharton's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and his dissatisfaction with his team's performance on the court was palpable, but he just didn't switch to the twin-tower lineup of Noel and Gasol.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by a full 14 points, and they lost by 11 points in a single quarter, which was when Tang Shuai scored another 12 points in a single quarter.

The players were obviously a little dissatisfied, the head coach's authority comes from his coaching ability, which is very important to be able to make correct judgments about the situation on the field, but Wharton completely disregarded the outcome of the game and insisted on using a small lineup, which made his prestige in the team have been greatly challenged.
