Magic Ball Possession.

Scott Skels shouted from the sidelines: "What did I tell you before the game! Watch out for the number 23! ”
Scott sat in his seat with his arms crossed, not worried at all.
Magic Ball Possession.
Payton passed the ball to Oladipo after halftime.
Oladipo is facing the same thing.

Oladipo ignored Tzu Shiping's words.
began to dribble and break through, wanting to use the rhythm to pass Ci Shiping.
Tzu Shiping did not give Oladipo any chance.
Oladipo's offensive talent is not as strong as the defensive talent, and he came to the free throw line and threw the ball against Ci Shiping.
Ci Shiping did not jump, but straightened his arms.

Oladipo shoots iron.
Randle took advantage of the rebound and passed the ball to Russell.
Russell held the ball through half the court, sticking out his thumb and little finger and playing the horns.
Randle stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and Russell was about to go inside through Randle's pick-and-roll.
Fournier, who defended Lei Lei, saw that Harris did not assist in the defense and entered the interior to make up for the defense.
However, Russell sensed Fournier's movements, broke through the ball, and passed the ball to Lei Lei, who was three points in the bottom corner.
Lei Lei received Russell's pass without the slightest adjustment, there was no one in front of him, and he caught the ball and shot.

Suddenly pulled up and shot
'Brush-'
This time the basketball was firmly planted in the net.
6:0
At the beginning, the Lakers played a wave of 6-0 mini-climax.
The Magic are really much weaker than the Lakers.
The next first quarter was the massacre of Lei Lei, which sprinkled all the resentment of the previous game on the Magic team.
Wing singles, catching and shooting, counterattacking and dunking after a steal, Lei Lei showed his offensive skills in Amway Arena.
and captured some home fans, who made Lei Lei's current style of play more and more like Lao Ke, it's really a great education.
At the end of the first quarter
25:19
The Lakers led by six points heading into the second quarter, and the Lakers' defense made it difficult for the Magic.
Some fans of the Magic didn't expect it, why did your Lakers choose Lei Lei and rise? We have two young men, Oladipo and Vucevic in our team, why can't we do you guys?
In the second quarter, Scott replaced Randle, who was replaced in the second half of the first quarter, and let Randle lead the bench to play the Magic.
The Magic were replaced by Vucevich, Shabazz and Fry.
On the Lakers' side, there are Nick Young, Loe, Clarkson, Randle, Kelly, and they are full of firepower.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides played back and forth.
But the Magic strengthened their defense, and Nick Young fell into the realm of infinite singles, not trusting his teammates at all and not passing.
An angry Scott yelled at Nick Young on the sidelines.
Nick Young got a few rounds better after hearing the scolding, but then he simply ignored the coach's scolding and started playing singles again.
The Magic caught up with the Magic's first-quarter deficit because of the coordination between Frye and Shabazz and Vucevic.
Seeing that the Magic team was about to get up, Scott immediately called a timeout.
Nick Young was still yelling at Scott when he returned to the bench.
Scott hurriedly began to formulate tactics for Lei Lei, so that Lei Lei should not hesitate after he came on the court, shoot when he has the opportunity to get the ball, and create damage if he can make a kill.
Lei Lei nodded when he heard Scott's arrangement, and saw Nick Young playing so stinky and angry on the court, and he worked hard to lead by 6 points, because Nick Young's play was all in vain, and he could only play again after playing 5 minutes in the second quarter.
