Chapter 45: A Chance Encounter
At the timeout, the Nets coach replaced Scola and Badinger with Hamilton and Greaves! Jeremy Lin and Harris are the team's main offensive scorers! The Lakers, for their part, didn't make much change. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they don't need to do anything to change.
The players are back on the pitch. Hamilton serves to Greaves. Greaves dribbles across half court. I didn't choose to pass the ball, but went straight to world peace! In terms of footsteps, Ci Shiping obviously feels that he is not as fast as this point guard! Grevis' rush inside is a throw! The score is 76:69.
When Yi Jianlian missed a 2-point shot, Wharton said something to Yi Jianlian. The Lakers are starting to play a two-man high post defense. It's not so easy to break through again! Harris passed the ball straight up front to Hamilton. Hamilton's singles Yi Jianlian was slapped out by a big hat from the latter!
Nash started running fast as soon as he received the ball! Lin and Harris are back on the defence right away! After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he singled Greaves and scored a direct jumper! Greaves misses shot! After Tariq grabbed the rebound, he passed it directly to Ci Shiping. Tzu Shiping passed the ball to Nash as he ran.
Nash chose to shoot a direct jumper into the net in the frontcourt. 79:69 The gap has widened to 10 points.
By the end of the fourth quarter, the Nets lost the game 112-104. In the post-game press conference, Wharton highly affirmed the Nets' offensive awareness and overall strength this season. Bryant's expression was relaxed. Looking at this former young teammate, he now looks like a boss and accepts questions from the media. It's no wonder that he is now a veritable coach of the Purple and Gold Army!
When Phil Jackson was with the Lakers, he definitely had a lot of interest in the youngster Luke Wharton. And Kobe Bryant once said that Wharton was the material for coaching. It's just a matter of time. Wharton played as a small forward when he was a player. Kind of like where Badinger is now. He has a wide field of vision and an eye-catching performance!
"Bill is Luke's father, and Luke is my child," Zen master Jackson once openly expressed his affection for Luke Wharton. And treat him like your own son! Sometimes I listen to Wharton's explanations on the pitch when he was a player. Sometimes the Zen master himself can't help but smile. This kid's brain power is enough to be a head coach.
In 2013, Wharton, who wore the No. 4 Cavaliers jersey in Cleveland, was cut as a free agent by the Cavaliers. Meanwhile, the 33-year-old Wharton announced his retirement. He then moved to the Golden State Warriors as a retired player to join the Warriors' coaching staff, starting as an assistant coach.
He joined the Lakers on April 30, 2016 and became the 26th head coach of this team!
"It's great to see Jeremy Lin on the court. I remember talking to Scott [former Lakers head coach] when he was with the Lakers. Except for Clarkson. Lin is also a very good player. Now it feels like he's been banned by you. Can you think about it? But in the end, we let him go. ”
Kobe Bryant said with emotion at the press conference. If Lin is still with the Lakers. The Lakers now have almost no concerns when it comes to guards. And now Kobe Bryant and Nash can't play too much time is also a concern for the Lakers. It is necessary to make sure that Kobe Bryant and Nash are healthy! In this case, Russell seems a little immature.
Thankfully, Nash is back. I don't know if Kobe Bryant will think about this. Luckily, Luke Wharton is back.
The Nets are a little dull on this end.
"May I ask Chen, you took the initiative to talk to Yi Jianlian to Ivanka, but you didn't choose to come to the Nets to see you and Lin. Is there anything you would like to say about that? A reporter looked at Chen with sharp eyes and said.
"It's normal. Ivanka came to the stadium, and she was also a person who bought a ticket to watch the game. It's normal to want to meet your favorite players. I don't have any ideas. Seriously. Brother Yi Jianlian, we have a good relationship. I'd love to see him now, too. Have a chat with him. But the Lakers seem to have a game to play. They were about to fly away. ”
Chen's answer drew laughter from many reporters present. Indeed, now Yi Jianlian's return has made him particularly eye-catching in NBA games! Some fans jokingly said that he is now one of the four veterans of the Lakers!
And he changed the discomfort of the preseason. Very tough in the regular season! After the game, I often watched him hang out with the Lakers players! His combination with World Peace has made any team in the NBA a a little bit of a psychological mutter.
Chen's answer dispelled some of the reporters' thoughts. I was hoping to make some big stuff out of it. But I heard Chen's more easy-going answer and his relationship with Yi Jianlian, coupled with a more humorous answer. I had no choice but to give up.
"Then ask the Atkinson manager. What do you think of today's game? The reporters changed the subject. Asked a question about today's game.
'Obviously we didn't win the game today. Everyone played well. I've seen it all on the pitch. Wharton has clearly thought deeply about what role his players can play in what positions on the pitch. This is where I was a little surprised. He has performed remarkably in recent years, both as an assistant coach and as a current head coach. Atkinson said at a faster pace. The expression is more easy-going and natural.
'It's the second time you've lost to them this season. How will you deal with the current Lakers in the next game? ”
"I can't disclose that yet. But I'll find a way to solve this problem. The Lakers now have two superstars. They are not inferior to the other point guards in the league, both individually and in the team's playmaking! The Lakers have also played a lot this season. How to say, though. Let's wait and see for the next game. ”
The coach's relaxed answer made the reporters present feel as if it was the Nets who won the game. They all looked at each other a little, but at the same time, it also showed how the Nets would adjust to deal with the next game between the Nets and the Lakers.
The launch took a little longer than expected. The day is coming to an end. Chen also let out a long breath as he watched the last reporter leave the press conference. I got up and ran in the direction of the bus.
The weather was nice on this day. At night, the stadium is brightly lit. Fans are also taking group photos. The excitement in the stadium has just passed. All kinds of snacks and entertainment outside the venue are not completely over.
After walking through a few corridors, I accidentally saw a man in a suit standing next to the street talking to the police. The policeman's expression was somewhat serious. Stop next to a nice-looking car.
Ma?
