494. The Cancer Is Playing Again......
Whiteside drew four men on the inside, and Antetokounmpo stood next to him and didn't know what to do. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Whiteside drew the bag and passed to Antetokounmpo, who flicked it to Nick Young.
Nick Young was unguarded, got the ball and pulled it up from beyond the three-point line to make a three-pointer.
"Brush!"
Nick Young's three-pointer went in, overtake!
36 to 33.
Liu Ren looked silent, and Kobe Bryant estimated that his heart was in tears.
The two of them were beaten by the Eagles when they were there.
As a result, Whiteside and Nick Young came on the court, and the two combined for 19 points in the first half of the quarter, and the score was overtaken by three or two.
Budenholzer quickly called a timeout and immediately replaced Teague, who played very well in the first quarter, and Horford and Millsap also rushed to change.
Except for Carroll, the Hawks are basically the main force, and Dennis Schroder is the strongest outside bench of the Hawks, and the three-guard lineup is not bad.
On the Lakers' side, D'Antoni thought about it, and in Liu Ren's expectant gaze, he decisively did not let him play, but replaced McCollum with Korver, who performed averagely, and replaced Antetokounmpo with Green.
After the Hawks' main lineup returned, they wanted to use a tough style of play to just wave with the Lakers.
However, Whiteside is like a monster, covering the sky on the inside, Millsap and Horford are too different in size and athleticism, or they can only watch Whiteside keep playing high, or they can only watch Green catch the ball and distribute it to Korver or Nick Young or Jeremy Lin.
The Lakers' Hawks starters, who couldn't beat the starters, were beaten by the second team led by Whiteside......
The Hawks still had a clear advantage in the first quarter, and they were beaten as soon as they came up in the second quarter, which was simply unexpected.
Originally, the fans at the scene were still worried about whether they would encounter the same situation when they played the knights, but they didn't expect this plot reversal to be beyond the sky!
Before, the Lakers' side couldn't open the inside line at all, and the outside line was marked again, and everyone thought that it was not easy for the Lakers to chase points, but now at the beginning of the second quarter, Whiteside knocked the Hawks over all of a sudden.
Sure enough, like the prescient Liu Ren, he saw Whiteside abuse the Eagles' inside line like a father, leading a bench to beat the Eagles to death, and overtaking the score in three or two to widen the difference to ten points, and the fans began their ridicule on social media again.
"I finally found the reason why the Lakers will lose this year, it's all the boss's problem, you look at him on the court, we will overtake!"
"That's right, we should win 82 victories, the boss is a cancer, delay us to break history!"
"1 of 7, we blamed the boss for trailing by 7 points in the first quarter......"
"You see Kobe Bryant's helpless face, he must have choked on the boss when he was pitted......"
“……”
“……”
With Whiteside's ferocious performance, the difference was widened, and by halftime, the Lakers had a 15-point lead at 57-42!
Whiteside had 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks in the first quarter.
Nick Young scored 16 points in the first quarter.
The two worked together to lead the Lakers to a 40-17 ...... in a single quarter
Liu Ren sat on the sidelines and continued to be silent, and Kobe Bryant continued to cry.
The Hawks were about to collapse, they knew that Whiteside was great, and they felt that the Lakers had the luxury of using such a big center with fast movement, excellent rebounding sense, and strong blocking power as a backup.
But now Whiteside has blown up Horford and Millsap's duo, and the two of them can't grab rebounds, and they can't defend it, and the offense is forced to float on the outside.
At this time, Budenholzer felt that the Lakers were no longer a luxury, but a waste! It's a waste! It's a splurge!
What team would not be a treasure to get a center like Whiteside? All teams have a big center like Whiteside, and they will be built as the core!
"The king's management is blind! It's mentally retarded! Sending such a bug to the Lakers, do you think they are not strong enough? It's good to keep the water dispenser for yourself! Budenholzer suddenly blamed the Kings management.
In Budenholzer's view, it was they who gave Whiteside to the Lakers.
Budenholzer threw a tantrum in the locker room, yelled at the Kings management and his own players, and began to set up a second-half counterattack strategy.
Budenholzer arranged tactics for Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant in the first quarter, and the second quarter was originally intended to continue to play the tactics of the first quarter, but he didn't expect to be directly defeated by Whiteside, and all the arrangements collapsed.
For the Hawks, the second quarter was not only the offense stifled by Whiteside, but the defense was also shattered.
For a coach like Budenholzer, the first thing is to defend, especially in this situation, which means that the defense can stabilize the situation.
D'Antoni didn't say anything special at halftime on the Lakers' side, the overall strength of the Lakers is obviously much stronger than the Hawks, and the Hawks are not on the Lakers' opponent list.
In D'Antoni's view, the only ones who can pose a threat to them are the Cavaliers and Warriors, and no other team is an opponent.
In the third quarter, D'Antoni was ready to wrap up and put on the strongest lineup.
The Lakers sent Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside.
The Hawks also replaced the main force, otherwise there was no way but to die for the main force, otherwise Budenholzer was really afraid of being abused to death by the Lakers.
Seeing that Liu Ren finally played again, he was already so far ahead, and the Lakers can be notoriously stable this year, and the 15-point lead has never been reversed, so the fans are starting to come alive again.
"Oh, the boss is playing again, oh my God, mustache, take him back, do you want to win?"
"D'Antoni quickly accept your magical powers, the boss is a pit!"
“……”
“……”
There was immediately another craze of ridicule on the Internet.
Coming back from halftime, the Eagles attacked first.
Seeing the defensive combination of Whiteside and Green on the Lakers' interior that can be described as terrifying in the second half of the second quarter, Millsap and Horford simply didn't go inside and ran out to block their teammates.
The Hawks still had Bazemore in possession, Millsap went to block and Clarkson and Green who defended Bazemore switched defenses, and Bazemore passed the ball to Millsap.
It's still okay for Clarkson to defend Millsap from the outside, just don't let the opponent shoot directly.
At this moment, Horford unexpectedly ran over to block for Millsap, who immediately rushed to the three-point line, picked up the ball and flew directly to the three-point line.
Millsap's rhythm is sometimes different from the rhythm of the entire Eagles, and the rest of the Hawks only shoot when they have space, but the timing of Millsap's shot is not whether he has space or not, but when he wants to shoot.
It was the only player Budenholzer could step outside of the Hawks for no other reason, as the 28.11 seconds proved that Millsap was not a regular player.
Millsap had a bad hand in the first half, so there was no wave, after halftime, he began to try his hand again, his unreasonable shot Lakers were really not ready, Clarkson thought that Millsap would either pass to Horford, or break through, Whiteside also thought so, he took a step back directly after Horford blocked Clarkson and prepared to prevent Millsap from breaking through.
Then I saw Millsap shoot a three-pointer and go into his own basket.
"Brush!"
Millsap's three-pointer was 45-57 with 12 points remaining.
Just a three-pointer, the Lakers didn't have a mental swing.
The Lakers attacked, Liu Ren proved that he was not a cancer, and began to run widely, wanting to disrupt the opponent's defense, and then get a chance to score.
But! The way the Eagles took was to block Liu Ren's contact with other players and prevent Liu Ren from having a chance to receive the ball.
The Eagles' defense has very high requirements for rotation, and once the defender goes over to block Liu Ren, the players behind will have to take on the task of rotating the defense.
However, what Spurs teams like the Hawks and Raptors are best at is rotation, and they can play so well without superstars and superstars in their playing years, just because of rotation and running.
Green saw that the Eagles' attention was on Liu Ren, he immediately pulled out and asked Clarkson for the ball, Liu Ren wanted to prove himself, and Green also wanted to!
Green came up and blocked with Clarkson, Clarkson broke into the interior and saw that the pass to Whiteside was not easy to pass, Liu Ren was entangled again, so he passed back to Green in the high position, Green took the ball and saw that it was Bazemore who rotated to defend himself, this guy was a head shorter than him, so Green took a decisive step and shot from the free throw line from the middle distance.
"Bang"
It's still iron!
The moment Green made his move, the Hawks five men collectively closed inside, and the Hawks grabbed the defensive rebound as Whiteside was hung by three people and his eyes widened and roared.
Millsap just hit such a three-pointer, and his fighting spirit was instantly restored, and he came to the front court to continue to ask for the ball.
Before Millsap hit a three-pointer, announcing the return of his hand, at this time the Hawks players also knew that Millsap had a good hand, so as soon as they saw him ask for the ball, they immediately blocked him and passed the ball back to him.
Millsap got the ball this time, and Clarkson, who had switched to the defense, had already defended in place and stuck to Millsap directly outside the three-point line.
But Millsap didn't seem to see Clarkson, and he directly pulled out three points against Clarkson's defense!
Clarkson was already in place, and his fingers were almost in Millsap's eyes.
But Millsap's three-pointer was still hollow.
"Damn! No way? Liu Ren watched the score become 57-48, only one minute! The difference is back within 10 points.
Liu Ren faintly had a feeling that he couldn't pull out the poop.
Clarkson is also desperate, this can't be better defended, but the other party just threw it in!
Liu Ren was angry again and wanted to make a wave, but the Eagles defended him more tightly, and Green was humiliatedly emptied and used more men to target Liu Ren......
As soon as Liu Ren saw that the eagle was coming like this, he had no choice, so he simply used the opponent's encirclement to chase and intercept him, running around, and messing up the opponent's defense.
Liu Ren ran out after entering the inside line, Bazemore couldn't catch up with Liu Ren after being blocked by Whiteside, and Schroder, who was defending Kobe, immediately pounced to help defend, so that Kobe and Green were empty!
Green was in a high position at this time, and after thinking about it, he decided to pass it to Kobe, and he himself began to doubt his life.
The moment Kobe Bryant got the ball, he hesitated a little whether to break in and divide the ball or shoot directly, and finally chose to shoot.
Just when he hesitated for a second, Bazemore, who was originally chasing Liu Ren, caught up and pounced in front of Kobe, Kobe's shot was affected and missed the mid-range shot.
The Hawks, on their side, once again contracted to protect the rebound.
Teague advanced with the ball, Liu Ren started to defend directly from the midfield, and the opponent defended him like that, and he had to go back!
At this time, Teague was contained by Liu Ren, and there was no longer the magic of the first quarter, but Millsap came to the high post again to ask for the ball.
Green, another Lakers player with a traumatic heart, went after Millsap with his life and didn't give Millsap a chance to get the ball.
Bazemore saw that he had a chance at this time, and exchanged glances with Millsap, the two of them are the most tacit understanding of the Eagles' inside and outside combination, and one look can communicate what they want to express, Millsap immediately understood and went up to make a no-ball cover for Bazemore.
The Bazemore guy went up and went around, and he spun around and got rid of Clarkson directly, both Clarkson and Green were particularly jealous of Millsap, who scored two threes in a row, and the two of them went towards Millsap.
You must know that Millsap is off the ball at this time......
And then Bazemore was empty!
Teague, who was bullied enough by Liu Ren with his body, hurriedly passed it over.
Bazemore's 3 points from a 45-degree angle!
Hit again!
The Eagles hit three three-pointers in a row, 51-57, and the difference was only 6 points!
The Lakers players are also starting to get anxious by the opponent's continuous scoring, the Lakers have rarely encountered such a situation this year, they are still too young, only played the Cavaliers and the Lakers twice, which game was not smooth sailing at other times?
Having not experienced too many such situations, the mentality of the Lakers' group of young people began to be unstable, and once the mentality was unstable, it was easy to make mistakes.
Sure enough, in a state of anxiety, Liu Ren took the ball and came over to play in a low position, but a dribble was missed and was stealed by the opponent!
The Eagles stealed, quickly formed a fast break, and Teague went down quickly at the first time, catching the ball and hitting a layup.
53-57, only three minutes were played, and the difference was only four points!
D'Antoni can't sit still, Liu Ren, Kobe, Green, Clarkson, these four guys are going to do something!
Consecutive misses, continuous unstoppable, and 11 points in a row by the opponent!
D'Antoni hesitated for a moment, and then very firmly replaced today's four big holes with Jeremy Lin, Nick Young, Korver, and Antetokounmpo.
The fans who were ridiculing before were also stunned.
"Eh, we're just kidding, boss, you won't really be a pit goods, right?"
Tonight is destined to be a night that Liu Ren doesn't want to look back......
