Chapter 238: The Battle of the Lake of Fire

Soon, when it was time for the evening game, the fans and players also came to the Staples Arena, and tonight both sides had players to face their old clubs, yes, Gordon and Luan Jiye, they were holding back their strength tonight.

The lineup on the Lakers' side: Lopez, Blue, Ingram, Gordon, Thomas, and the Rockets are still: Capela, Tucker, Ariza, Luan Jiye, Harden, and the Fire Lake battle is about to break out! Fans are also looking forward to it tonight, this is the first time Luan Jiye has challenged the Lakers after his transfer, and many Lakers fans at home feel very cordial when they see Luan Jiye, after all, last season, Luan Jiye's contribution to the Lakers team impressed everyone too much.

Soon, the game began, Lopez and Capela stood in the midfield ready to scramble for the ball, the referee stood between the two, saw that both sides were ready, threw the ball high into the air, and the two jumped up at the same time to fight for the ball, and Capella, who rarely succeeded in fighting for the ball, fought for the ball! After receiving the ball, Tucker in the back passed it directly to Harden.

Thomas hurried over to defend Harden, it seems that this time the Lakers are targeting the outside defense, after all, after the Lakers traded Luan Jiye, the outside line is weak, although Gordon has three-point ability, but it is definitely not as accurate as Harden and Luan Jiye, after all, not at the same level.

Harden saw that the defense was so tight, and a rash three-point shot would also be interfered with, so Harden ignored Luan Jiye's request for the ball and passed the ball directly to Capela on the inside! Capela received the ball, took advantage of Da Luo's inattention, and slammed a two-handed dunk under the basket!

The players on the Rockets' bench stood up to cheer for Capela, but no one on the Lakers' bench squeaked, only a few Rockets fans cheered sporadically, after all, this is the home of the Lakers.

The Lakers counterattacked, Lopez sent the ball to Gordon, Gordon played against Luan Jiye, Luan Jiye is not at a loss in physical confrontation now, but in terms of experience, he is still not as good as Gordon, so Gordon shook Luan Jiye with a feint, and Luan Jiye hurried to catch up in order to make up for his mistakes!

Gordon jumps up and wants to go to the basket! Unexpectedly, Luan Jiye, who was chasing after him quickly, suddenly gave Gordon a pegboard hat! This really surprised Gordon, he had long heard that Luan Jiye's speed was very fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and his explosive power was much higher than anyone on the Lakers!

After Luan Jiye covered this cap, Harden in the back reacted very quickly to grab the ball, then shook off everyone and sprinted to the front court with the ball! In the face of an unguarded basket, a one-arm split dunk came! The Rockets bench was cheering again.

Blue saw that Luan Jiye's ability was still not weakened, and it seemed that he would never reach that height, he ran back to the Lakers' halfcourt, picked up the ball, and sent the ball to Thomas again, Thomas dribbled the ball, facing Harden, Harden was also careless, was shaken by Thomas, and after shaking it, he threw the ball into the air, at this time, Blue suddenly jumped up, received the ball, and dunked the ball into the basket!

This made the Lakers fans resurrected again, seeing Bru's violent dunk, Maggie couldn't help but stand up and cheer for his brother Thomas also high-fived Blue, however, the Lakers didn't have a good time, when the Rockets counterattacked, when Ariza held the ball, Luan Jiye ran actively, received Ariza's pass, shook Thomas and Gordon in a row, and then faced Blue's defense, jumped up directly!

Blue also jumped up and wanted to block it, but Luan Jiye stubbornly blocked Blue!

At this time, some Lakers fans couldn't help but shout loudly, Maggie was even more unhappy when she saw her brother being humiliated by her good friend, but seeing that Luan Jiye was no longer as immature as when the Lakers were there, and now she seems to be a mature atmosphere, in short, the last time I saw Luan Jiye in Cleveland, I felt completely different.

However, the Lakers have not given up, Lopez sent the ball to Ingram, Ingram received the ball, did not plan to pass the ball, and when he dribbled the ball to the opponent's three-point line, he faced Ariza and shot directly and decisively! The three-pointer hit it steadily.

The Rockets are also fighting back here, this time with Luan Jiye holding the ball, he chose to come by himself this time, first facing Thomas, coming to a cross-step breakthrough, then breaking through the restricted area, coming to a European step layup, squeezing Lopez into it.

At this time, the Lakers had to call a timeout, because the opening was very unfavorable, during the timeout, Wharton looked at Luan Jiye, who had long been with the Rockets, and after scolding the boss in his heart, he began to rearrange the tactics, this time replacing Thomas with Wilson.

On the Rockets' side, the old routine, replacing Harden, replacing Paul, there is no other change, Luan Jiye respects Paul very much, every time he chats, he is called: "Mr. Paul", I don't know because he is older, and because he has much more experience than Luan Jiye, Luan Jiye respects him very much.

A minute later, the timeout ended, the players returned to the court again to continue the game, the Lakers served, Lopez sent the ball to Wilson, Wilson has not competed with Luan Jiye for a long time, although Luan Jiye and Jeremy Lin were injured last season and were absent for a period of time, Wilson saved the crippled Lakers, but he knew that he was not Luan Jiye's opponent.

But Wilson's character is not easy to give up, he directly opposite Luan Jiye, Luan Jiye didn't say anything, just defended seriously, as if he didn't know anyone on the field, he stared at the ball in Wilson's hand, looking for opportunities, stealing him!
