Chapter 32: The Ankle Terminator
The Magic team quickly adjusted in the locker room, arranged a series of tactics for Lei Lei, and could no longer let him score, and I don't believe that Lei Lei could continue the feeling of the first half in the second half.
There was peace in the Lakers locker room, everyone played well, the coach's arrangement was done in the first half, only Nick Young played badly.
The third quarter begins
The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed.
The Magic made changes to their second-half starters.
Vucevic was included in the starting line-up for the second half.
Lei Lei has been playing for 18 minutes, and this time on the road trip he also learned how to allocate his physical strength reasonably, not as brutal as before, and now he has plenty of energy!
Magic ball possession.
Payton came to the half with the ball, and Harris began to run from the baseline, using the off-ball block to shake off the defensive Randle.
The 45° three-pointer on the right receives a pass from Payton.
There was no one in front of him, and he shot the ball with three points
'Brush-'
55:51
A three-pointer was made, which was also Harris' first three-pointer of the game.
Randle went to serve to the baseline in frustration.
Lei Lei comforted: "Randle, pay attention to defense, don't be discouraged!" ”
Randall nodded when he heard Lei Lei's words.
Russell came to the half court with the ball, and there were two players next to Lei Lei ready to wrap at any time, and Russell shouted in Chinese: "No. two, No. 2." ”
The Magic team looked stunned when they heard it, what happened? How did you speak Chinese?
If this is Kobe's advice to Scott, let Lei Lei teach him tactical language, and speak some Chinese during the game, so that the opponent does not understand.
The Lakers' training ground often hears Chinese, and the Lakers are also working on preparing Chinese jerseys, and the value that Lei Lei brings is too great, and sponsors call every day.
Lei Lei stood in the bottom right corner to pull space for his teammates, and Russell passed the ball to Ci Shiping and began to run.
When Russell came to the bottom right corner, Lei Lei made a no-ball block for Russell.
Russell shook off the defender and Ci Shiping passed the ball to Russell.
Russell catches the ball and jumpers two steps inside the three-point line on the right side.
'Bang-'
Russell doesn't feel very good and shoots iron.
Harisca's Randle pocketed the rebound.
Magic counterattack.
Oladipo ran fast, and Lei Lei quickly chased after him.
Harris wanted a long pass, but seeing that Lei Lei had chased Oladipo, he could only pass the ball to Payton.
Lei Lei said beside Oladipo: "Don't waste your efforts, it's impossible for you to attack quickly!" ”
Oladipo watched the ball and didn't pass it, and snorted when he heard Lei Lei's words, and didn't respond.
Let Lei Lei's fist hit the cotton, soft.
Payton held the ball past half court and passed it to Oladipo, who came to pick it up.
Lei Lei saw Oladipo holding the ball and said: "Come, don't pass the ball, you all lose anyway, why don't you show yourself." ”
Oladipo blocked Lei Lei's words, passed the ball to Vucevic who stepped forward, and began to run back.
Lei Lei was blocked by Vucevic and shouted: "Hibbert to help defend!" ”
Vucevic passed the ball to Oladipo, who had gone to the basket, and Hibbert was already in place.
Oladipo scored on Hibbert's layup.
55:53
The difference narrowed to two points.
Oladipo raised an eyebrow as he passed by Lei Lei.
Lei Lei angrily chewed gum on the bottom line, waiting for Hibbert's serve.
Lei Lei held the ball through the half.
Reach out and signal your teammates to pull away and play singles.
The rest of the Lakers' players immediately ran away, opening up space for the team's 'ball tyrant' to play alone.
Lei Lei dribbled the ball and kept testing Oladipo.
Oladipo was not deceived, but Lei Lei made a second disguise, and sat on the ground with a pain in his ankle.
Lei Lei passed Oladipo, who was sitting on the ground, and made a quick stop jump shot.
'Brush-'
The basketball landed safely in the net.
57:53
The Lakers bench blew up, but I didn't expect Lei Lei to complete the ankle finisher, and the shaking Oladipo sat on the ground.
Ci Shiping waved his fist and shouted, "What a rookie! Just hit it like that! ”
Nick Young waved a towel and said, "Well done Ray, just him!" Kill these bitches! ”
Scott's hanging heart was put in his stomach and sat down on the bench again.
When Lei Lei returned to the defense, he spread his hands in front of Oladipo, with an innocent expression.
Oladipo is a very tough player, but he doesn't like to talk much, and he just wants to talk with the ball when he sees Lei Lei's movements.
But often the reality is very cruel, Oladipo can't break through Lei Lei's defense at all.
Because Lei Lei often learns from Kobe and Ci Shiping, his defense has made rapid progress, and Lei Lei's experience and small actions have been passed on.
It was very uncomfortable for Oladipo to attack, and the referee did not blow Lei Lei for a foul.
Who has made the league not yet fully enter the era of small ball, but has just entered the era of small ball.
For the rest of the third quarter, Lei Lei played full, unsolvable wing singles, running without the ball, sharing the ball as long as he was packed, and using blocking or singles to kill inside without touch.
The Magic team was torn apart by Lei Lei in the third quarter, and although Vucevic tried his best to score, those were useless and did not have the efficiency of Lei Lei.
At the end of the third quarter, the scores of the two teams were:
79:66
The Lakers led by 13 points into the final quarter, and Lei Lei clocked out in the third quarter.
Scott was not worried at all that the Magic would overtake the score in the fourth quarter, the team had two people, Lu Wei and Clarkson, who basically hit the ball from Lei Lei today, and the shooting rate was very high.
Randle is also very confident on the inside, and Harris is a spatial inside, which is a bit unstoppable against Randle.
Lei Lei got 35 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers when he got off the court, and the assists set a new career high.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lei Lei put on his coat and started chatting with Kobe.
The two of them began to play with the treasure.
When Lu Wei scored difficult goals from time to time, both of them covered their faces with an incredulous expression.
Clarkson sometimes gave encouragement when he passed a good ball, and Lei Lei and Kobe Bryant gave him a thumbs up when Ci Shiping sometimes hit the basketball.
Scott watched Lei Lei on the bench become more and more leader-like, and like Kobe, he refused to admit defeat, but he was not so paranoid.
Kobe Bryant also told the management that Lei Lei's talent is better than him, on par with MJ, and he will definitely become a superstar in the league in time, provided that he is not injured.
The battle for the management of the Lakers has entered a white heat, Jeanie Buss is about to seize power, looking at the treasure left by his brother, he wants to take back the management even more!
At the end of the game
The scores of both teams came
111:104
The Lakers won the game by seven points
The Magic once almost tied the score, but the substitution of Nick Young often interrupted the Magic's offensive climax, and he no longer fell into singles mode, passing the ball to his teammates, and also wanted to win the game.
