Chapter 41: Cutting a new career high
When Lei Lei stood on the free throw line, the audience cheered, and I didn't know that this was the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers.
'Brush-'
Lei Leiga scored a free throw
8:4
Lei Lei scored 8 points in the opening 2 minutes.
Jeff Hornacek was calm and didn't call a timeout, this is just the beginning, where to go.
In the next time, Lei Lei was unstoppable, showing his talent in front of the Suns fans on the offensive end, and the counterattack after the steal on the defensive end caused the Suns fans to scream again and again.
“wow! Ray is simply attacking a hundred flower tubes! ”
"Sure enough, he is the heir of MJ and Kobe, his offensive talent is too strong, and his defensive potential is also visible to the naked eye!"
"Ray will definitely be the next superstar in the league! will become another player to dominate Los Angeles after Kobe! I said it! ”
"Terrible with a high hit rate! The extra-long arm span allows him to dunk easily on the inside! Not afraid of confrontation at all! Instead, look for confrontation! ”
"Why didn't the Suns draft Ray? If this had been Ray, the picture would have been unimaginable! ”
Booker was very unhappy when he heard the shouts of the fans on the bench, so he was a fan of Lei Lei? I haven't played yet, support me! I'm definitely better than him!
At the end of the first quarter, Lei Lei scored 20 points alone.
Lakers total score
35:23
12 points ahead of the Suns!
The Lakers saw the weak team, it was really a dead hand! Not only Lei Lei himself, but other players are also contributing on the defensive end, and the offensive end is not soft!
I feel like seeing the Suns is like seeing a beautiful woman, and I want to bully it.
In the second quarter, Lei Lei came off the court, and the Lakers' offense dropped several notches.
The Suns began to play catch-up.
Knight scored inside by blocking and killing, and sometimes broke through when he hit the bag.
Lowe and Nick Young also got into play, completely forgetting about the tactics Scott had arranged.
The two of them started a singles with you, a singles with me, and no one grabbed anyone.
But with Clarkson, Buzz and Randle, the three of them practiced switchback and running on the court, and they couldn't touch the ball at all.
Six minutes into the second quarter, Scott called a timeout.
No, no, the Suns caught up with the score.
42:38
The Suns chased the margin to four points.
When Lowe and Nick Young returned to the bench, they were scolded by Scott.
Scott pressed the duo directly to the bench and put Lei Lei and Huertas on the field.
The suspension ends.
Lakers ball possession.
Clarkson held the ball past half court, and after Lei Lei came on the court, there were 2 defenders nearby.
Clarkson passed the ball to Huertas and started to run.
Hurtas called Randle to come forward and block the pick-and-roll.
At this time, Clarkson ran back and was about to hit the basket, and Hurtas quickly passed the ball over.
Clarkson made a successful counterrun and scored the ball with a layup.
44:38
As soon as Lei Lei came on the court, the Suns' backcourt offense was not smooth, Lei Lei's lateral movement was very fast, and he could make up for the defense at any time, or cut off the practice between the Suns players, and the tactics could not be played.
Lei Lei runs through the offensive end, makes a quick stop and shoots from mid-distance, does not stick to the ball at all, and knows that he is the team's endpoint.
When you're not attacking, open up space for your teammates and cover for your teammates.
The first half was played
67:57
The offense of the two teams is very fast, and the Lakers are not afraid of fast breaks, they are basically young players, and their athleticism is not bad, but Hibbert can only watch from the sidelines, because he can't get involved, and it's a burden to go up, which is the breakthrough of the Suns.
Lei Lei scored 28 points in the first half and 8 points in the second quarter, which was very efficient, mainly to open up space for his teammates and attract the attention of opponents.
Jeff Hornacek didn't expect Lei Lei's offensive firepower to be so strong, thinking that it was the same as Booker, isn't it just a rookie, without Kobe's involvement, how could it be so easy to score, but in the first half, Lei Lei slapped Jeff Hornacek with a loud slap!
Scott didn't have anything to explain, just a request, pass that damn basketball to Lei Lei!
The Lakers players also knew that Lei Lei might set a new career high today, scoring 28 points in the half, 17 points away from Lei Lei's highest score of 45 points, everyone looked at each other in unison, and they all understood what they were thinking, of course, they didn't look at Lei Lei.
In the third quarter, the second half began
Scott replaced Russell, with Clarkson coming in for the second half.
The Suns are still two point guards, and the center is replaced by Ryan.
The Suns possessed the ball and played a fast break as soon as they started.
The Lakers have adapted to the pace of the Suns' game and are not afraid at all.
Knight saw that the Lakers' defense was tighter than in the first half, so he had to play a positional battle.
Knight broke through Clarkson's defense and hit a pullup jumper from the three-point line.

The ball goes in
67:59
The score narrowed down to single digits.
Clarkson reached out to signal his mistake.
Lei Lei patted Clarkson's back, it's a trivial matter, look at my brother to get you back on the field!
Clarkson comes to the front with the ball.
Lei Lei reached out on the flank to ask for the ball, and after receiving Clarkson's pass, Lei Lei clearly felt that Bledsoe's defensive intensity had risen.
constantly interfered with Lei Lei's small movements.
Lei Lei knocked out Bledsoe's hand with the ball in both hands and pulled up the shot
'Brush-'
Also near
69:59
Lei Lei wants to get off work early, he doesn't want to grind with the Suns, but he has a three-day break after this game, and Kobe Bryant promised to invite his teammates to his house for a party!
Next, Lei Lei didn't pass the ball at all, and his teammates also saw that Lei Lei's desire to attack was extremely strong.
Lei Lei's flank singles, dunks after breaking, low-post back-to-back singles, step-back jumpers, and drifting mid-distance, none of which Lei Lei will not do.
Bledsoe couldn't stop it with all his might.
At the end of the third quarter
90:75
The Lakers led 15 into the fourth quarter.
Lei Lei's score came to 49 points, one point short of 50 points, which has set a new career high.
Jeff Hornacek has noticed Lei Lei's score and asked the players to defend Lei Lei with all their might, it is not terrible to lose, if Lei Lei gets 50+, it will be a shame for the whole Suns!
The Lakers' teammates saw that the goal was achieved, as long as Lei Lei brushed enough, the rest of the performance time was everyone's.
Scott also noticed Lei Lei's score and asked: "Lei, you have scored 49 points, you can continue to play in the fourth quarter and brush the score higher!" You're already the first player in the 15th class to score 30 points, 40 points, and you're going to be the first player to score 50 points, and you even have a chance to score 60 points, and I'm sure you can do it. ”
Lei Lei didn't expect to score 49 points when he heard Scott's words, and he only knew how to score after getting the ball on the court, but he didn't expect it to be so high.
Said to Scott: "Coach, I'll go, do it!" Such a great opportunity is not always available! ”
Scott nodded with satisfaction, Scott is actually the same as other coaches, although he doesn't want Lei Lei to brush up points, but his proud big disciple, who hurts if he doesn't hurt? Could it be that such a great opportunity was wasted?
The fourth quarter begins.
After Lei Lei came on the court, he continued the feeling of the first three quarters, and after playing for 3 minutes, he brushed his personal score to 60 points.
The Suns can't prevent it, and Lei Lei shoots directly when he is caught in a single game, which is not reasonable at all, and he really can't stop it when he feels it!
Lei Lei was substituted with eight and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter.
He scored 60 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus/minus of +20
