"Doon, tonight's game, you save some effort in the first half, just give the ball to Kobe and Shaq.

Bryant was leaving the team in the second half and driving to Hawks County, and the team needed you to provide more consistent offense and defense.

You're going to have a lot of work to do tonight, but I'm sure you can overcome some of the odds and help the team win. ”

Before the normal training in the afternoon, the Zen master first talked to Doon alone.

Doon then realized that Kobe Bryant was going to Eagle County to attend the hearing again, and he was leaving halfway through the game.

Hearing the Zen master's arrangement, Doon also understood how to play tonight's game.

Give the ball to Kobe! Give the ball to O'Neal! What's so hard about that? Watch me perform and it's over!

At around 7 p.m., at the Staples Center, the game started quickly after the two teams started the game.

As in the preseason, Doon did not defend James who played point guard, and the Lakers first sent Payton to defend James to create some pressure on James with the ball.

After Ricky Davis was traded to the Celtics, the Cavaliers also acquired third-year lottery pick Cedrick Brown from the Celtics to replace Ricky Davis' vacant position.

James gave the ball to Kaedric Brown and ran without the ball himself, but before he could cut the basket and look for an opportunity to steal the chicken, the ball in Kedric Brown's hand was taken away by Kobe.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe Bryant quickly attacked the basket and dunked to help the Lakers take the lead.

When the Lakers returned to defense, the Cavaliers also passed the ball to the frontcourt.

However, James failed to receive the ball, because Duane, who was always watching him, had anticipated this scene in advance.

James didn't expect that Doon first ambushed near the center circle, and after the ball was passed, he ran to the three-point line and jumped in the air to intercept the ball.

James was in the penalty area, thinking that he would dunk the ball directly, who knew that someone had studied his scoring routines clearly?

By the time James noticed Doon rushing up, it was too late to step forward to get the ball.

After Doon completed the interception, he immediately passed the ball to Kobe, who turned his head to replay the fast break.

After Kobe Bryant got the ball, he took three steps and dunked his arms to score two points again.

In the first half minute of the game, the Lakers relied on defense to counterattack and easily scored 4 points.

Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas had to call a timeout to replace Kadrrick Brown with Kevin Ollie as a backup point guard to share the pressure on James.

"Kobe, you take care of this rookie, I'll deal with the substitute, how about it?"

After the Cavaliers substitution, Payton guessed the layout of the Cavaliers head coach, so he took the initiative to switch defenses with Kobe.

Although Payton seriously affected James's control, someone helped James share the pressure of dribbling, and when James took the ball to him in the frontcourt, it would also cause him a lot of defensive pressure, after all, James was taller than him and stronger than him.

If Kobe Bryant defends James, and he defends a draft pick like Kevin Ollie, who has no outstanding talent, then the defensive pressure will naturally be much less.

"No problem." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he went to lead the defense of James.

As soon as James saw that it was Kobe, he immediately passed the ball to his teammates, so that he could save energy and devote himself to the offensive end.

Kevin Ollie was a little overwhelmed by Payton's tight defense after getting the ball, and soon passed the ball to Eric Williams of Doon's defense.

Eric Williams was also unable to move an inch in the face of Doon's stalking, and had to protect the ball with his back and wait for his teammates to come up and pick it up.

The Lakers accidentally played a full-court press, so that the Cavaliers didn't even have an outside line that could dribble past half court.

James had to come up to catch the ball and immediately pass it to Boozer, who had already run to the frontcourt.

Boozer didn't wait for his teammates after taking the ball, shook it, dribbled another step, and threw a direct shot into the middle distance.

The Cavaliers finally relied on Boozer's individual ability to score two points.

When the Lakers attacked the round, it was very simple, Doane held the ball and called a block, and directly misplaced Kevin Ollie burst into the basket and passed the ball to O'Neal.

Big Z top O'Neal actually had a good top, but he was still hit twice by O'Neal's back, one turned and hooked his hand, and hooked the ball into the basket.

“MVP，MVP，MVP！”

Star singles are the best part of the game, Kobe Bryant scored twice on the fast break, Lakers fans are not surprised, O'Neal singles are successful, but it caused the Lakers fans to cheer.

"Doon, let the MVP take you to win!"

After scoring the goal, O'Neal asked Doon to clap his hands, and Doon saw that Kobe and Payton had stepped forward to press the defense, so he took the time to joke with O'Neal.

"Shaq, you played so well, I'll continue to pass the ball to you!"

"Haha, you're going to eat something later, Shaq is in for a treat!"

Don't look at O'Neill's fatness, in fact, he eats a lot.

Every time he plays at home, O'Neill will order a takeout or something, sometimes he will eat it for himself, and sometimes he will invite everyone to eat together.

O'Neill was in a very good mood today, and entered the "order first" link early.

However, it has to be said that as a weak team in the East, the Cavaliers really can't put too much pressure on O'Neal.

Not to mention, the Lakers' outside defense made the Cavaliers a big problem just by dribbling.

At the end of the first quarter, 16-27, the Lakers already led by 11 points.

By the end of the first half, when Kobe Bryant left the arena early, the score of the two teams had reached 37-54, a full 17-point difference.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid the Lakers' main team will have to clock in in the third quarter.

Considering that he only shot 2-of-3 in the first half, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line, he only had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, and had to think more about it in the third quarter.

After all, who knows if James will lead the team in the fourth quarter to fight again?

When the time comes, James will cut 30+ and become a tragic hero, and Doon will only have a dozen points, but he will become a transparent person, isn't this very bad?

"Kobe Bryant is not here, and as my successor, it makes sense for me to fire indefinitely, right?"

At halftime, Doon was eating and calculating.

When it came time to start the second half, Doon took the initiative to say to Payton: "I'm going to take Kobe's position, and I'm going to defend LeBron James." ”

Payton was quite happy at first, and Doon was willing to help him share the defensive pressure, so Payton naturally had no opinion.

Who knows, the meaning of Doon's top Kobe position is that even Kobe's mastery of watching people and not passing the ball has been inherited.

Because both Doon and O'Neal wanted the ball, Payton was forced to become a dribble guard.

However, because of Kobe's departure, the Lakers' outside defense is missing a gap.

The Cavaliers finally made a few three-pointers from the outside, and the third quarter ended with a score of 65-86.

Although the Lakers continued to play an advantage in the third quarter, the margin did not widen up enough to punch in the third quarter.

"Phil, leave it to me, let Shaq and Gary have a good rest!

Veterans need more rest and we're aiming for the championship!

Only health can win us a championship, right? ”

During the intermission, Doon took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the team in the fourth quarter.

After listening to Doon's words, O'Neal blossomed: "Ah, yes, yes, Shaq is tired, Shaq needs to rest!"

Next, let my little brother Doon, take you to play!

Shaq will be there when it matters and lead you to win the game. ”

Who said that if you get the biggest contract in the team, you have to play the most minutes and play the most statistics?

Shaq won three championships for the Lakers, can't you enjoy it?

O'Neal would love to see the rookie roll up on the team and take the initiative to let him eat the rookie bonus.

And in this game, the Lakers did take a lot of lead in the first three quarters.

There are also a lot of rookies in the Lakers who need more playing time, and the Zen master thinks that Doon and O'Neal have spoken, so let's do it!

So, soon it was Doon who led the team alone and led the rest of the Lakers off the bench.

Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, Doon faced James, and James also came out with a group of Cavaliers bench players.

In the first three quarters, James shot 7 of 17, 0 of 3 three-point shots, and 3 of 5 free throws before he scored 17 points, and James was naturally not very satisfied.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers could defend Doon and Fisher.

James, who has been angry in his stomach, naturally wants to find a place on Fisher.

However, Doon did not give a chance and continued to take the initiative to defend James.

As early as the third quarter, James knew that Doon was very good at defense, so he dribbled through the half court, and let it be done by others.

After arriving in the frontcourt, James began to direct the traffic, calling for blocking and dismantling while taking the ball and preparing to start breaking through.

Doon knows James is a left-hander and likes to go around the left side of the screen.

In addition, James' style of play is to break through through with cover, and will not shoot directly like a shooter.

This style of play allows Doon not to forcibly squeeze the cover, but to take a step back around the cover, move faster and go around to James.

"What the hell is going to do?" Fisher on the side was a little dumbfounded.

Doon and James actually played the game of King Qin's pillar.

One is really around, and the other really doesn't dare to vote.

James called two covers in a row, but before he could break through to the basket, he could only retreat outside the three-point line and try to shake off Doon's center of gravity with two consecutive crotch.

With about 3 seconds left in the offensive time, he suddenly passed the ball to the hands of substitute small forward Jason Capo.

Jason Capono is a white wing shooter with great three-point ability.

However, as soon as he came on the court, he had to throw the ball with only the last two or three seconds left in the offensive time, and if he could shoot it, he would be a ghost.

With a sound of duang, Doon turned his head and rushed to the front.

Immediately after, the basketball appeared in front of Doon quickly, and after Doon received the ball, it was a gliding slam dunk.

Don't ask Doon why he runs so fast, just trust his teammates.

Noticing Doon who was running back to the backcourt at a high speed, James vaguely felt a little familiar, but he couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Soon the ball was back in James' hands, as if realizing that the game had been lost and there was no pressure to win, and James no longer hesitated.

This time, James did not continue to rush around the screen, but directly used the cover to jump and shoot when Doon had not yet reacted.

Doon found that he had no chance to pounce, so he could only turn his head to pay attention to the situation of the basketball to see if it was in or in iron.

If it's an iron, Doon has to continue to look at where the rebounds land and then choose whether to play a fast break.

Duang, not surprisingly, James still couldn't grasp the ball.

It's just that the rebound was grabbed by Cavaliers interior player Tony Barty, who took the ball and attacked directly in the low post.

"LeBron, you're scaring me! I thought you could really get in! ”

Seeing that James missed the iron, Doon said with a hippie smile.

James naturally knew that Doon was laughing at him, so he could only turn his head and ignore it and immediately return to defense.

With Tony Barty scoring the ball, the Lakers regained possession.

Because they couldn't play the fast break, the Lakers started a triangle offense under Doon's leadership.

James is a point guard and doesn't need to defend Doon, a swingman at the front.

However, Doon took the initiative to block and switch to James.

As soon as Doon launched his back shot, James took the initiative to take a step back, and it seemed that he was guarding against Doon's turn and breakthrough.

Doon realized James' defense, so he turned around and stepped back with a crotch to shoot a three-point shot.

James reacted a beat slower, and it was too late to pounce again.

However, that didn't stop James from taking a few more steps forward, and when he got to Doon, he turned his head to look at the basket.

Fortunately, Doon didn't jump high, and after shooting, he also watched James's movements defensively.

Doodoooooo –

Doon missed a three-pointer, but the whistle blew.

Because James invaded Doon's cylinder, Doon had nowhere to settle after he fell, so he could only rely on his waist and abdomen to lean back slightly and fall to the ground.

is also a Nike contracted player, although Doon's contract is not as big as James's, but he is a Nike small owner.

Not to mention that this is the home court of the Lakers, the home whistle is still obvious this year.

James looked innocent and threw his hands towards the referee, wanting an explanation.

Doon stepped to the free-throw line, and soon all three of his free throws went into the basket.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biases towards the tigers, Doane will attack with the ball next, still looking for trouble with James.

James' small movements were a little more restrained, and Doon hit two three-pointers with the help of a half-open shot.

It didn't take long for Doon to complete the task of leading the team and clocked out of work in three and a half quarters.

Led by Doon's 17 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the second half, the overall score was 82-104, and the Lakers repelled the Cavaliers led by James by 22 points.

Of course, it was still the same after the game, the Cavaliers lost, James didn't.

James scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, compared to Doane, who had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists, he looked not weaker, but more dominant in scoring.

However, when it came to the post-game interview, Doon, as an opponent, was covering up for James.

"LeBron has already played very well, and if he is someone else, facing the OK combination for the first time, I'm afraid he will be too scared to play!"

"I believe in LeBron's talent, the sky is his limit! It's just that this is the Staples Center, and no one can take off on Shaq's head! ”

"I don't care who's the best rookie, maybe it's LeBron, maybe it's melon! And I, I'm already working on the all-star opponents! ”
