Chapter 283: The Third Four Pairs
After the previous two games, D'Antoni found that neither Jeremy Lin nor Andrew were temporarily incompetent to fill the starting vacancies. www.biquge.info There is still a certain gap between them and Kyrie Irving, and they will definitely be beaten by Kyrie Irving when they play now.
D'Antoni arranged for Wu Di to play point guard, Wu Di had also played point guard before, and even defended Paul. When facing the vacancy of the small man, Wu Di did not suffer. He looks powerful and shouldn't be a fast player. But this is all appearance, his speed is not slow, it can even be said that it is fast, the average defender is not as fast as him.
Wu Di went to the No. 1 spot, and D'Antoni gave Jimmy Butler a chance at No. 3, and he was the last player to get a start among the Lakers' four rookies.
As soon as the game began, Bynum snatched the basketball from Pekovic's head with a deep grudge. Kyrie Irving got the basketball and didn't care too much about Wu Di's defense.
As the champion, Kyrie Irving is somewhat proud, and he is also very excited in the face of a superstar like Wu Di.
The consequence of his pride and excitement was that he didn't think much about it, just thinking about breaking through Wu Di.
The others passed, but the ball was stopped by Wu Di. In the past two years, Wu Di has reduced his outside activities, making many people forget his terrifying stealing ability, and Kyrie Irving has suffered all of a sudden.
After Wu Di stealed, he scored a direct dunk.
The Cavaliers re-served, and Kyrie Irving had a long memory this time, letting Bynum help him to score a layup inside.
Wu Di forced Kyrie Irving away, Bynum made up the defense, Wu Di passed Pekovic, and Pekovic dunked and scored.
Wu Di's strength is not something Kyrie Irving can handle, and in this game, his assists will definitely not be too small.
Kyrie Irving entered the interior and was blocked by Pekovic, and the basketball bounced out of the frame and was caught in the hands of Wu Di.
In the positional battle, Wu Di passed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol shot wide. Wu Di went straight to the basket and made a dunk.
In just five minutes, the Lakers led by 10 points, and the Cavaliers were powerless to fight back.
At this time, Bynum stepped up and attacked the inside, and actually broke Pekovic. However, the Lakers had no one else to change, and Wu Di had to enter the inside line to wrap Bynum.
Bynum made a mistake, he didn't pass the ball in the face of the bag, and was snatched twice in a row by Wu Dichong, and stepped on the reluctant pass in the roar of the Cavaliers coach.
The ball was passed very unsafely, and was knocked flying by Wu Di with a wave of his hand, and when it fell, it was grabbed by Wu Di first. Wu Di dribbled the ball across the halfway line and passed directly to the basket, and Klay Thompson received the ball and scored a layup.
Kyrie Irving took advantage of Wu Di's bag and shot a few three-pointers to not let the Cavaliers fall too far behind, but it was impossible to catch up with the Lakers.
In the first quarter, the Lakers led by 12 points at 38:26. In the second quarter, Wu Di did not get off the court, but continued to play with a bench player.
In addition to the internal UAE League, others such as Caracott, Jeremy Lin and Andrew are all bench players.
Therefore, Wu Di will not share the ball too much with them, and will only pass the ball to them when they have the opportunity to let them get points. These guys have a very poor level of shooting and play hard. Wu Di can only keep rushing to the inside to grab rebounds, and sometimes steal the ball from the opponent when he can't grab the rebound.
Bynum, who is more familiar with Wu Di, sat on the sidelines at this time, with Tristan Thompson and Vallejo on the court. Thompson is this year's rookie, Vallejo is a softie, and they can't fight back against Wu Di. Vallejo can't do it if he wants to fake a fall, and even if Wu Di does hit him, the referee may not blow the whistle.
At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers were 72-60 and still led the Cavaliers by 12 points. But Wu Di's statistics are very good, he got 18 points, 12 assists, 8 rebounds and 7 steals, and has reached a quasi-quadruple-double.
The Cavaliers also found out about Wu Di's stats, and they didn't want Wu Di to get four doubles again. Although Wu Di's quadruple-double will not be big news, they will not let Wu Di get four doubles again, they don't want to be a stepping stone on the road to Wu Di's godhood.
But some things can't be stopped, and at the beginning of the second half, Wu Di grabbed the rebound from Bynum. Bynum was furious, slapped the basketball with a slap, and slapped the basketball directly from Wu Di's hands.
Antoine Jamison grabbed the basketball, and before he could pass it, Wu Di covered him. Wu Di used his long arm to leave Jamison without space to pass the ball, and then snatched the ball back from him.
Three minutes later, Wu Di forced Kyrie Irving near the halfway line. Kyrie Irving didn't want to return to the line and held the ball in his arms. He did this exactly in Wu Di's hands, and Wu Di repeated his old trick, slapped the ball out of his hand with a hard slap of his right hand.
After another minute, Pekovic missed a shot from the penalty line, and Wu Di rushed inside to grab the rebound, increasing his rebounding tally to ten.
In the tenth minute, Wu Di went to wrap Bynum, and Bynum passed the ball in advance. Wu Di used his feet hard and grabbed the basketball, although he rushed out of the sideline directly because he lost his balance, but this steal was still counted.
In the third quarter, Wu Di completed a triple-double.
D'Antoni replaced Wu Di to accept the blessings of the fans, the Lakers have a 20-point lead over the Cavaliers, and D'Antoni is not ready to let him play. So Wu Di's stats are fixed at 26 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds and 10 steals.
Along with Wu Di, Gasol was replaced, and with the advantage of a large score, D'Antoni began to use a small lineup and play run-and-bomb tactics. So the five guys on him are UAE, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Andrew, Jeremy Lin.
All five of these players can shoot from distance, and the UAE's height can protect the rebound. Whoever has an open spot shoots.
This lineup is not perfect, and the current UAE can't protect rebounds well, but who makes Pekovic the starter now? He needs to save his energy for the next game, so he can only go to the United Arab Emirates.
This lineup has worked very well, and Jeremy Lin seems to be very suitable for this style of play, especially when the UAE blocks him, and he dares to directly impact Bynum when he enters the interior line, and scores the ball.
In the fourth quarter, Jeremy Lin scored 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting, plus free throws. stunned many fans at once, you must know that Jeremy Lin didn't score 12 points in total!
Lin's performance was admired by D'Antoni, and he decided to train him. As for Andrew, let him continue to sit on the bench.
