Chapter 188: Angry Eruption
The second half began.
The new players of the Lakers have serious faces, and even the old players are waiting for the battle, because they are really afraid that they will be settled after the game.
They had a 12-point lead in the first half, and if it was overturned, let's wait for the lesson to be learned after the game.
Warriors possession.
Curry came to the front court with the ball, and the other players quickly began to run according to the tactics, and there was no time to wait.
Murray, who defended him, also did not leave an inch, stubbornly following, for fear that he would be thrown away by Curry if he didn't pay attention.
Durant has no chance to receive the ball at all, Lei Lei's defense is too dead, the pressure is very strong, there are a lot of small movements in his hands, and the concealment is also very good, the referee can't find it at all.
But Thompson had already shaken off defender Brown with an off-ball pick-and-roll, receiving a pass from Green at a 45-degree three-point position and catching the ball and shooting.
'Brush-'
The basketball entered the net, and the Buddha shined on the scene!
Thompson celebrated, and Staples Arena responded with boos.
On the Lakers' side.
Murray carried the ball to the front court, passed the ball to Brown, and began to run without the ball.
Lei Lei and Yi Jianlian did off-ball blocking and dismantling tactics for him, and Howard also promoted Brown to do hand-to-hand blocking and dismantling at the top of the arc.
Murray shook off Curry through the duo's pick-and-roll and made an empty cut to the basket.
Howard had already passed the ball to Lei Lei after he finished his pick-and-roll.
The latter saw Murray shake off the defense and cut in, and immediately threw the ball into the air.
'Bang-'
Because Zaza Pachulia on the inside was involved in Howard's appearance, and Green was also taken away by Yi Jianlian, the Warriors' interior door was wide open, and Murray received Lei Lei's air pass in the air and smashed the ball into the basket vigorously.
From the sidelines, Scott put his hand to his mouth and shouted, "Murray, well done!" It's that big! ”
The Staples Arena fans also shouted:
"Rookie, well done!"
"Just fight like this, and you will get Scott's trust in the future!"
"Come on! You'll be a good helper by Ray's side! ”
Murray didn't flutter when he heard the compliment, but he knew that the Lakers' guards were crowded, overcrowded, and the competition was fierce.
It's not that he doesn't trade, but he must maximize the value, Lu Wei, Nick Young can be said to be a bench bandit, Clarkson is a rookie chosen by the Lakers themselves, cultivated by themselves, and he is playing more and more reasonably next to Lei Lei, Murray knows these things.
He will have to work harder if he wants to stand out, as Caruso, who also has a two-way contract, is eyeing it.
What the Lakers lack now is a defender, he knows that he is the best defensive player among these people, he must use his strengths to show himself, the Lakers do not lack scoring points, just Lei Lei's score alone is enough! And Howard is now radiant, with an average of 21.8+13.6 per game so far, which can be said to be the tail of the peak of his career blooming again.
The next Lakers saw what it means to be bombed.
Curry threw Thompson after he threw it, Thompson threw it after Durant threw it, and Green could throw one from beyond the three-point line from time to time.
The Lakers did not let Lei Lei struggle to support him like last season, Kobe Bryant was Lei Lei's best helper last season, but his shooting rate was still very low, although the game was reasonable, but last season the Lakers mainly kept the record while letting Lei Lei get exercise, and the tour of Kobe Bryant's retirement must be exciting.
This season is different, Kobe's retirement and Lei Lei's supernatural performance last season made the Lakers determined that they had to do something this season, so they signed Howard to strengthen the Lakers' internal barrier.
They followed Kobe's advice and went to China, went to Guangdong to inspect Yi Jianlian during the CBA game, and the Lakers' scouts and management also saw the performance of the Olympics.
Brown was already doing his best to defend Thompson, but the opponent was an experienced player and a championship player, and he couldn't figure out the opponent and had too little experience in the game.
After the Warriors came out in the third quarter, the score between the two sides continued to shrink.
Halfway through the third quarter
80:85
The Warriors chased the difference to 5 points!
The strength of the warriors in the third quarter immediately began to show in front of the Lakers, and three scoring points, anyone would miss a person.
Scott had been hesitating whether to hand over the timeout, he saw Lei Lei's eyes, and called a timeout without hesitation, he felt that the other party was already angry.
After Curry hit a two-point jumper, Scott immediately called a timeout because the margin came to 3 points!
Lei Lei took the braces out of his mouth, returned to the bench angrily, and when everyone sat down, he scolded loudly: "What are you doing to eat?" Forgot all the things that the coach explained at halftime? Pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, anti-warrior pick-and-roll! Did you eat? Head into Ollie gave? Or did you leave your head at home? ”
Anthony Brown carefully handed over the towel, Lei Lei didn't take his temper on him, took the towel and sprayed while wiping his sweat: "If you don't want to fight well, just say it, what is the defense?" Grandma O'Neill is better than you when she comes, what about physical confrontation? What about small actions? Why do you want them to be so comfortable receiving passes? So easy to shoot? Have you eaten? Foul struggling, huh? Little girl? Or a three-year-old? That slap didn't hurt me, let alone them! ”
Lei Lei pointed to his left arm covered with red slap marks and said, "Look at Green, how ruthless is Durant?" They're away, they're so heavy, what about you? We are at home, can we fight bloody! ”
When Howard was about to quibble, Ci Shiping grabbed the other party, and when Howard still wanted to quibble, Ci Shiping said in his ear: "Don't try to challenge the majesty of Ray, look back at the top, the management is watching, if you dare to do it with him at this time, tomorrow we will be either teammates or enemies, I believe in the ability of the Lakers management!" I'm sure you still have a lot of value right now, and you're sure to get us a lot of chips. ”
Ci Shiping patted Howard on the shoulder and said: "Man, you should already know a lot about the atmosphere of the Lakers, there are few such happy and relaxed atmospheres in the league now, although Ray is not very good-tempered, but as long as you win the game, he will not pick anything, but if you lose the game and make a big mistake, not only Ray will say you, but the management and coach will say you!" ”
"I'm sure I don't need to say anything, you have to do your job in the next game, and don't show the hot head on the field just now."
Just when Ci Shiping and Howard were communicating, Lei Lei had already greeted all of them, which was very ugly.
After the team's boss Lei Lei vented, Scott also criticized everyone, including Lei Lei, the big fifty boards, and seized the remaining time to start arranging tactics.
