Chapter 170: The nameplate disappears

For the first time in two decades, the "Bryant" nameplate has disappeared from the Los Angeles Lakers' locker room — and the good news is that he's replaced by a new nameplate with the words "lei lei" written on it.

Lei Lei is in the locker room, and he has taken over the locker of 'future Hall of Famer' Kobe Bryant.

His hard work in a season has been recognized by everyone, next to Howard and Brown, respectively, and the management has made it clear that Brown will be the second leader in the team in the future! Fuzuo Lei Lei ascended the throne.

Brown also thought about replacing Lei Lei as the new owner of Los Angeles at that time, but reality taught him a lesson, Lei Lei made him remember when the two met for the first time, and since then he has taken him to train every day when he has nothing to do, and abused him to the fullest.

Lei Lei always said to him, young people must have the strength to fight, don't be afraid of the old fritters in the league, don't they just play a few more years than themselves? Isn't it just a few years before us? When we reached their age, we must be better than them, don't we call young people arrogant!

Scott came to the locker room, looked at Lei Lei in the C position and nodded with satisfaction, he was very happy to continue to coach the Lakers this season, these are all brought to him by Lei Lei, he knows that before the start of the season, the management had discussed the issue of changing the coach, Lei Lei strongly asked the management not to change the head coach, he also knew that if Lei Lei did not lead the team to play so well last season, he would have gotten out of the team last season.

Speaking to the players, he said: "We played really well in the first half, we had a 16-point lead, which is a very big difference. ”

After Scott said this, the players in the locker room were very happy, and they had not had such a good start to the new season for the Lakers for a long time.

But what Scott could tell in their faces was their disdain for the Rockets, and he said to the crowd, "Don't be too happy, everybody!" ”

A group of players were puzzled when they heard Scott's words, why didn't they rejoice too early?

"It's just the first half, we still have the second half to play, the NBA game is changing! I'm sure you all know! Scott paused, looked around at the expressions of the players around him, and then said: "The Rockets will definitely adjust in the second half, we must continue to play according to the tactics we did before the game, we have achieved a very good result in this tactic, we will continue in the second half!" ”

"There are no weak teams in the NBA! That's the 16-point advantage, five three-pointers will be caught up, and we can't relax until the last minute of the game! ”

Scott finished explaining the big things to the players and began to lay out the tactical arrangements.

It's not the same in the locker room of the rocket.

D'Antoni looked at the depressed players and comforted: "Don't give up, everyone, this is just the first half, we still have the second half!" ”

"It's not a problem for us to bury the hole dug in front of us in the second half, a few three-pointers will be chased back, and in the second half we must limit Lei Lei on the opposite side and not let him play easily."

He continued: "The Lakers' Ray hasn't played for a long time, he can't be hot as soon as he comes on the court in the second half, we must take this opportunity to bite the score and try to catch up with the score, and by the time he finds his touch, you will all have hot hands." ”

When the Rockets' players heard this, their eyes instantly widened, and they felt that there was nothing wrong with what the coach said, isn't this the solution?

D'Antoni found that the fighting spirit of the players was gradually recovering, and he began to lay out the tactical arrangement for the second half, emphasizing the defense of Lei Lei, which could not make him score easily, even if it was a foul free throw.

······

The second half began

Both sides maintained their starting line-ups.

Houston Rockets ball possession.

"Hello spectators, welcome to the 2016-17 season of American men's professional basketball, the second half of the game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers, James Harden came to the front court with the ball."

on the field.

Harden controls the ball and constantly directs his teammates to run, and he uses the rhythm of the dribble to find space to break through.

Lei Lei looked at Harden who was dribbling with an expressionless face, and didn't dare to step forward to steal easily, Harden had a very good grasp of the change in rhythm, and Lei Lei was not sure to steal it once.

While dribbling the ball, Harden kept observing his teammates with his peripheral vision, his eyes were looking ahead, and he didn't dare to have a trace of luck in the face of Lei Lei's defense.

At this time, Anderson shook Yi Jianlian and cut to the basket.

Seeing this, Harden immediately passed the guide ball when it bounced off the floor and into his hand.

Anderson reached for an easy basket and hit a layup.

57:71

After the ball was scored, Yi Jianlian raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his carelessness.

Howard patted Yi Jianlian's back while moving forward and said, "It's a small matter, wait for a chance to return him." ”

Yi Jianlian nodded, he is now more and more able to integrate with the Lakers.

Clarkson received Lei Lei's serve on the baseline and came to the front court with the ball, and he continued to direct his teammates to run in the face of Gordon's defense.

The fans at the scene also shouted:

"Rush rush!

"The Lakers will win!

! ”

"Let them go back to Houston in the dust!

! ”

Lei Lei came out of the bottom corner, received a pass from Clarkson, and signaled Yi Jianlian to step forward to block and dismantle.

He saw at least three people waiting for him near the penalty area, and as long as he used the pick-and-roll to impact the inside, it would definitely cause the Rockets to trap him.

The moment Yi Jianlian stepped forward, he immediately started, without the slightest hesitation, he felt that if he didn't hit the basket, it would be disrespectful to D'Antoni's tactical arrangement!

Sure enough, when Lei Lei came to the vicinity of the restricted area, there was Capela in front, Ariza in the back, and Harden on the side, and the three of them were sandwiched.

Lei Lei knew that he had been sitting off the court for a long time, and his hand was not as hot as before, and when he jumped under the basket, he threw the ball 45 degrees to the left.

Yi Jianlian did not go down after the block, but waited for the ball to shoot in a tactical position of 45°, which is also one of the tactics commonly used by the two in the national team.

Lei Lei uses his own firepower to involve defenders for the rest of the team, and uses breakthroughs to share the ball, so that teammates have better space to shoot.

Yi Jianlian received a pass, and there was no defender in front of him, so he adjusted his shot.

The Rockets thought that someone would go to make up for Yi Jianlian, but the fact was that no one went, and their defensive communication made a mistake, so they could only watch Yi Jianlian shoot in the middle distance in the open position.

'Brush-'

Yi Jianlian did not disappoint everyone, scoring the first goal of the second half of the Lakers under the watchful eyes of the nine people on the court.

57:73

He waved his arm after the ball was scored, paying for his mistake.

D'Antoni squinted his eyes and hugged his arms on the sidelines, feeling that the Lakers' tactics were not right from his predictions!
