Chapter 854: The Awakened Purple Gold Army!

Over the years, the Celtics have risen, the Trail Blazers have risen, the 76ers, the Rockets, and the Thunder have all risen.

What Wharton has to bear is a recent impression of him from the outside world. That is, the Lakers' current good hand has been "broken" by him. Whether it's the Lakers' management or their owner, there is still a lot of leeway for Walton this season.

At the same time, this does so while avoiding risks, such as whether a not-so-famous coach can lead the team if he comes to the Lakers. If it is not brought well, then maybe the Los Angeles Lakers will have to go through another 3-5 years to adjust!

By that time, the players have no management, and they are going crazy...... While Kobe Bryant and Nash are still on the team, and the combat ability of the other players of the current Lakers team has reached a certain level!

Although the competition in the West is fierce, such a lineup does not seem to be a fantasy to enter the second round of the playoffs.

The team also made a lot of changes before the start of this season, the first of which was that he realized that Lopez is a rare good star!

If only he had realized that last season...... It's not that you know he's a star player, it's that you have to know how a player like this is going to play in the team.

For Brooklyn, the current Lakers are limited in his playing time, there are many great players in the team, and the players who have grown up are also eager to try in the game.

Over the years, Brooke has not been so good at the physical side of the game, because he has to lose weight and make himself lighter in the game. So if you encounter a strong center, Lopez will not have the ability to fight when he first entered the NBA.

But he's a center forward in the team, what to do? As long as the opponent doesn't rain three points, then it is a very good choice to be on the Lakers' interior line when attacking! Brooke has height and has foot movement.

There is a certain accuracy in three-point shooting, and the shooting percentage is high in mid-range! And as the season continues, Lopez's three-point shooting rate is steadily rising. That means that when he comes on the pitch, the whole team can take advantage of the attacking opportunities of the whole team, and then let him score as much as possible in the game.

When Brooke was off the court, the offense of Thomas Jr., Ball, Kuzma and others on the field was also good! And Kobe Bryant, they haven't said it yet......

Last season, the Lakers' main style of play was to bring the old man with the newcomer, and the players did not have too much contact on the court, and then there were slightly more mistakes in the game.

When I came to Staples Arena, when the Nets players started to play, a certain number of fans immediately began to shout! Wharton stood there, glancing back at the fans in the audience, then turned away.

Remember when he first came here as an assistant coach, right? Now he has led the team to two championships. At present, Chen and Stevens are the two coaches in the league that are the most discussed!

Some netizens said that if Coach Stevens said that there were no player injuries in the previous seasons, or that Garnett was not rejected initially, even if he was recruited at the base salary at that time, it is estimated that Kevin can go back.

And if the Wolves return to Boston, maybe the team that has won two consecutive championships now will be their Green Shirts! Now the Celtics have a headache at the thought of not recruiting Garnett back then...... Garnett went to the Nets for two years and won two championships......

After a while, the players on both sides have already stood up, and on the Lakers' side are Lopez, Channing, Ingram, Thomas Jr., Hart! On the Nets' side are Mozgov, Zhou Qi, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Daniels.

At the beginning of the game, Brooke got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Thomas Jr., Ingram took the basketball and avoided Zhou Qi's defense and broke through directly to score a layup!

Since it's a new season, the overall mental outlook of many teams is good right now! What Chen felt from the game was that the Lakers had become more mature on the court, and the specific maturity was that they seemed to have become more tacit and calm in their overall state.

Last season, they were very popular, but they didn't play well in the end, but that doesn't mean they don't have this ability!

Lin slowly held the ball to the frontcourt, and the opponent is now ready to win the Nets! They're now putting all their energy into playing the regular season well. The first impression of most players is that they are advanced to the playoffs and advanced to the second round......

But if they make it to the finals, who will they face? Won't meet the Nets? Are they two-time champions?

After Zhou Qi took the basketball, he looked at the veteran Qian Ning and thought about how to attack. Zhou Qi's performance in the last game made many people's eyes shine!

Although he may not be able to achieve much in the super team, he can also get some data in front of the strong team, and the data is not low!

Williamson quickly got Chow's pass and used his physicality to crush the opponent with Ingram, and dunked and scored under the defense of Brooke and Channing! And the Lakers reacted a little strangely to their offense this time.

The players served to Thomas Jr. as if they were fine. Walton confessed before the game that for Williamson, there is no one on the team who can guard him at the moment......

In this case, don't think too much about that. Instead, focus on the offense!

After Lopez got the basketball, he immediately pulled it out and made a jump shot directly into the net with a three-point shot! 5:2! Compared to previous years, it is not uncommon for Lopes not to smile there when he shoots three-pointers.

How many teams are now working on three-point shooting! The 76ers' Embiid also joked online about going to score three points with Curry. What he said was a joke at first glance......

Lin got to the front court and passed to Daniels, who quickly dribbled the ball and immediately hit a three-pointer next to Hart!

Wharton was watching the game seriously at this time, and the media commented on them when Chen Yinan was the chief assistant coach of the Nets a few years ago. Stevens, Wharton, Chen Yinan. These three coaches were known as the young and promising new NBA coaches at the time!

At that time, Wharton was still a little unhappy, why did Chen Yinan, who was still an assistant coach on a tepid Nets team, stand in the same position as them. Stevens is known as the "Coach Against the Face." And his tough style is also popular.

Although the Lakers are starting to decline, this team is a dynasty team. Zen master Jackson also treated Wharton as if he were a son. At that time, Wharton was full of scenery!

And now that the Lakers management hires you, they also need you to make a difference. With so many stars and superstars on the team, Wharton still hasn't played as much as management wants.

If you play with the Nets, you must not play too hard in the early stage! Their tactics were more effective in the later stages.

So Wharton is now trying to see if he can overturn the tactics he had thought of better.

Ingram dribbled the ball across the half court, he saw that Williamson was still quite far away from him, so he simply threw it directly, but he didn't expect Williamson to still touch the basketball, Zhou Qi jumped up and got the basketball and took the ball to the front court by himself, Jeremy Lin took Zhou Qi's pass on the other side and hit a three-point shot! 8:5!

If they could, the Nets still hope to lead in the first quarter, although the Lakers team has not played very well throughout the season, such as last season. But they have a lot of star players!

In addition to these young people and influential role players, there are also López and Thomas Jr., who may be more popular in the future! They didn't get much results when they were in their own team, though. But at the time, they were all the main players of their respective teams!

If asked if they want to win? The answer should be obvious, but the teammates at the time were also doomed in every way to that outcome. But now it's different! Kuzma, who is currently becoming more and more famous in the team, is a player with a bright future ahead of him!

Kuzma's average of 19.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season is already telling the team that he is an indispensable member of the team in the future. Kuzma has been shining since he was in the summer league!

But at the time, it was always said that he was a "vase-level" player. That is, to play well in the summer league or other competitions. But not in the NBA, and as a result, he played all the way to the present, and when the media began to report more and more about his current achievements, there was nothing to say.

He has maintained his good form and stats in the NBA. This player is one you can keep scoring as long as you keep him on the field! And it feels energized during the game!

Although he has some obvious shortcomings of his own. But when you see him on the field, you will know that Kuzma may be able to score 20+ or 30+ points in this game!

In the game, he is very active in rebounding, passing, and attacking himself!

Wharton wasn't very happy with the attack just now. Ingram obviously wanted to throw a few shots herself. But he seemed to have forgotten what he had to do.

Hart dribbled to the front court and passed directly to Lopez, who watched the Nets take a step inside and rushed straight to the ball!

Zhou Qi was also stunned at the time, what are you going to do? It's fantastic! Brooke, the big man, looks like an oversized guard and goes straight to the basket! 8:7! This rhythm made Zhou Qi and Mozgov unable to get it.

Daniels quickly arrived in the front court, Thomas Jr. immediately came to defend, and it didn't take long for Thomas Jr. to rush over and cut off the ball and dribble to the front court himself! Ingram took his pass and hit a three-pointer straight away! 10:8!

Williamson slowly passed the half court after getting the ball, and scored an easy layup directly after passing three Lakers players in a row! 10:10!

The Lakers are about to take a timeout. At this time, the scene also remembered some cheers, as if they were greeting someone. Chen glanced at it curiously, it turned out that it was old Ingram who was called by Wharton!

The player was signed by the Lakers near the end of the regular season last season. After 10 years in the Development League, Ingram is now in his 30s and has finally come to the NBA!

"Lan Dou and Qian Ning, you come in and attack less, just guard against the opponent's Mozgov and Zhou Qi, their interior line is generally not too strong in attack. Ingram, you pay attention to Thomas Jr.'s pass, Kuzma comes over ......"

The young Ingram's performance on the court was not very satisfying for Wharton, as it felt as if he was quickly trying to brush up on his stats. But if you fight like this, will what you said before the game be invalidated?

And by this time, he has a new focus, which is to change the style of play, so that the attack is biased to the outside, and Ingram's words and Kuzma can rotate. The old Ingram is still a good player.

Bojan replaced Williamson for a while and paid more attention to the opponent's tempo and their defensive state during the game. Some of their young players are playing well. Pay more attention to ......"

At the beginning of today's game, Chen sensed what the other party was thinking now. They play with the Nets like this, and they basically play the same game as the Heat, but the Lakers have great players!

There are experienced and experienced ones, there are those who want to burst points, and there are centers who can shoot three-point shots like Lopez, and the strength of those young people is rising rapidly.

This timeout, Chen estimates that the opponent will change a little, so the Nets don't need to play hard with the opponent all the time now, unless the score difference is too big and they will consider it.

When the game came back, the state of the audience was also up! Old Ingram is still quite interesting here! The game continued, Thomas Jr. quickly dribbled over the half, Kuzma took his pass and passed the opponent directly after two consecutive feints at Bojan, and then saw Zhou Qi suddenly defend and simply pasted it directly!

That's a good speed! Zhou Qi's first reaction at that time was this, but he immediately fouled. Kuzma managed to make it 2+1 after scoring a penalty! 13:10!

Originally, I thought that the main player of the Lakers would be Clarkson, but now he is in Cleveland. And this season, the Lakers' most important player to keep is Kuzma!

This player knows how to use his body, the situation of the game, and the cooperation of his teammates to play! The vision is not bad, and the ball quotient is not low in the game!

Zhou Qi wanted to pass the ball after receiving the basketball in the front court, but saw that his players didn't have a good chance of passing over, so he came directly. When I was singles with Channing, I grabbed one immediately after missing the jump shot!

Bojan was suddenly cut off by Kuzma after taking over the basketball! At this time, both Zhou Qi and Bo Yang were echoing in their minds what Chen had just said!

Originally, when everyone Kuzma would come to the layup and score by himself, Ingram Sr. immediately jumped up and went into the net after receiving the pass directly behind! 16:10! The players at the scene immediately cheered excitedly!

Bryant also stood up and cheered for the ball. Bojan jumped up as soon as he took the basketball and was covered by Kuzma directly in the air! Then he used his speed to get the ball and scored a layup directly across the halfcourt! 18:10! The Nets are about to take a timeout!
