Then it was sad that Fox was lucky if he only lost two heads-up with Jones, and then he was directly shaved in the heads-up with Kobe Bryant and made him feel like he was slapped in the face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to Harris, you can start on a bad team like Celtic, but in a team like the Lakers that is already aiming for the playoffs, you can only obediently accept the bench position.

Since then, Fox hasn't mentioned starting again, and, even as a substitute, Harris has given him enough tactical position, which has made his dissatisfaction much less.

Regardless, Fox's individual ability is still very good, and in the second quarter of the game, he immediately showed his all-round offensive prowess, first throwing in a three-pointer, and then hitting an inside breakaway to assist Robert Hawley to make a basket, his ability to score as soon as he came on the court made Harris very surprised.

The Lakers' bench lineup, led by Fox and Hawley, was on fire, and they firmly kept the Jazz's bench at bay.

The arrival of Fox really fills the void of Scott, and he also has the speed and control of the game that the aging Scott did not have last season, Scott has played the role of an offensive finisher throughout his career, and his aging body last season has caused his offensive ability to decline in the second half of the schedule, and Fox does not have such a problem now.

He's in his prime now, and he's very good on both ends of the floor, plus Hawley has been relegated to the bench this season, and theoretically the Lakers' bench depth is really much better than last season.

Seeing that the situation on the court was not right, Jerry Sloan called a timeout again, and he hurriedly changed the starting lineup in advance.

Looking at Sloan's inability to sit still, Harris couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, he was crushed by Sloan all season last season, and this time he was finally given such a good chance to take revenge, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Although the Lakers' current bench lineup is playing well, Harris still put the starting lineup on the court for the sake of insurance.

This made the Fox group who were originally playing vigorously on the bench suddenly disappointed a little, but who made Harris the boss.

Back to the game.

The Jazz's offensive performance improved slightly after they were put in the starting lineup, but it wasn't too good, and they still couldn't find a shooting target under the Lakers' strong defense, but overall, they recovered from the rotation of Carl Malone and Jeff Hornacek's inside-out scores.

And their one-sided situation has gradually re-stalemated.

However, the Lakers' side is not without action, and Kobe Bryant certainly won't tolerate Hornacek keeping stealing the limelight from him with jump shots in front of him, and he immediately turned on firepower.

Even with a sudden shot, Kobe Bryant scored 7 points in a row, and he played alone to make the Jazz team a little confused.

At halftime, the Lakers beat the Jazz 27-17 in the first quarter, and they have chased the 12-point deficit back to two points, and they are now only two points behind the Jazz at 43:45.

Although the Jazz still maintain the lead on the court, everyone can see that the Jazz are in a very embarrassing situation now.

If the Jazz still performed like the second quarter in the second half, then maybe today's game will lose suspense early.

The atmosphere in the forum arena was noisy, everyone was applauding the Lakers' players, and the Lakers' excellent offensive and defensive performance in the second quarter made the fans fascinated.

Bryant had scored 11 points in the entire first half, he was the Lakers' highest scorer, and the second was Toney, who had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, and, under his defense, Jazz center Ostertag shot 1-of-7 and scored just two points.

For the next second half, Harris made some adjustments, he decided to swap the positions of Tony and Campbell, Tony pulled out to defend Karl Malone, in the face of Malone's high-level basket-shaped interior, Campbell looked a little difficult to defend, and throughout the first half, he let Malone shoot 5 of 8 and cut down 13 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Malone had a good first half, Harris didn't dare to let him score so easily, the Lakers were bound to win this game, if Malone kept playing like this, the final result was really not easy to say.

Although if Tony is allowed to defend Malone, the Lakers' interior defense will be weakened a lot, but Campbell's interior defense is actually not bad, his opponent is a 7-of-1 Ostertag, and Campbell should have no pressure.

At the beginning of the second half, Harris did not let Jones play, he released a lineup of Fisher + Kobe + Fox + Tony + Campbell, although Fox's physical talent is not as good as Jones, but his overall view is better than Jones.

During training camp in the offseason, Harris has been experimenting with various lineups, and this lineup is one of the ones he is experimenting.

Today, in the first regular season game, Harris decided to see how Fox would play with the starting lineup.

Unexpectedly, Fox gave Harris a surprise, this guy was not a boast when he yelled for a starting position some time ago, his strength does have the level of a starter.

Jazz small forward Russell took the lead in the first attack of the third quarter, he tried to shake a feint, but he didn't fool Fox, and then his jump shot was directly taken by Fox.

Howard Easley, who was hiding on the sidelines, took advantage of the situation and took a direct shot, but Fox was so fast that he could prevent it before Eisley could make a move.

Fox was two sizes bigger than Easley, and he easily blocked Easley's shot.

Easley's shot hit the iron straight away.

Tony got the spot, and Campbell picked up the rebound.

The Lakers quickly prepared to launch a counterattack, and Fisher opened his hand to ask Campbell for the ball, however, to everyone's heart, Campbell's face showed a painful expression, and his huge body collapsed, and he clutched the ankle of his left foot.

Campbell injured his foot while grabbing a rebound.

The Lakers' team doctor, Gary Wetty, trotted into the court as soon as possible, and he immediately made some emergency measures to Campbell, and then began to talk to Campbell, carefully asking for a series of information about the location and extent of the pain.
