Chapter 773: Lakers New Forces!

Chan watched the game. The atmosphere of the scene and the state of both parties are very serious! This also makes today's game more difficult! On the one hand, the Lakers are on their home court, and on the other hand, they are under pressure from the coach, and today they are determined to win this game!

The first quarter directly put Kobe Bryant on. The overall feeling of the team with him has become different. In addition, Thomas Jr.'s personal skills, as well as his passing and personal offense are very sharp!

The Black Mamba didn't attack so often in the first quarter. And one thing that Chen Yinan noticed was that Kobe Bryant didn't play for a while today and went down. It's always on the field! This first quarter will be over in a little while!

At this time, the intensity of the two sides on the field really made the fans addicted!! The Brooklyn players were already a little tired from yesterday's game against the Hornets. As a result, I felt good at the beginning today, but when I got to the back, I thought the Lakers couldn't move?!

"Look at the other side, this is not the intention of adjusting the players," Chen turned his head and said to Jim beside him. The Nets are playing okay right now. So he had no intention of taking a pause.

Wharton stood there very calmly today. I don't have the usual relaxed look. He was a former Lakers player. It was also appreciated by Jackson. Served as an assistant coach under Kerr with the Golden State Warriors. Now back to the Lakers is the head coach.

But this team has not been so consistent. Missed chances in some games. They didn't make the playoffs last season. This season, I feel like the countdown to my coaching career in Los Angeles has begun.

If he leaves the Lakers, he hasn't thought about which team he will go to. He feels very comfortable here, the athlete hasn't played for a few years but now he can coach Kobe Bryant, Nash, Lopez and other players also feel very good.

Although his father also played basketball. But in the past few years, there are still voices of discussion about him. Some of the reviews are not friendly. He also wants to prove himself with his coaching ability and the team's winning percentage. But over the past few seasons, the Lakers' results have been declining.

Kobe Bryant is no longer young. If the score between the team and the opposing team is not very big, Kobe Bryant can still turn the game around in a short time! But the problem is that the previous team accidentally stretched the difference to almost 20 points......

How the hell is this?! It's not impossible to go to another team. If you can't continue here, you can go to the next house. But after living in Los Angeles for a while, Wharton felt it would be great if he could stay here.

"Lads! That's it! We don't rely on chance, let's speak by strength! It's about the same as the first quarter, don't think too much about attacking yourself, and make quick shots in coordination and when opportunities arise! Naturally, I won't say anything about Kobe's performance in the first quarter."

Wharton said as he saw the players return. The Lakers' players thought to themselves that this seemed quite satisfying. Didn't say we...... Although Wharton is young, he is also more temperamental when he becomes the coach of the team, both for his players and for the referees on the spot.

Coupled with his handsome appearance and good understanding of the game, he has attracted a lot of fans over the years~

"We don't have to think too much about the score, but we have to improve the efficiency. The team will be handed over to you when they get on the field in a while, and if the opponent's Williamson is on the field, Lopes will make up for the defense and watch him, this kid has a good scoring ability......"

36:31! Brooklyn couldn't lead the Lakers with a strong burst of points! The players are clearly not feeling so energetic. This Chen also felt it.

"The other side won't always be so efficient. If this state is maintained, then basically there will be more training time today," Chen looked at the players who were a little dazed more relaxed.

"The Lakers are a lot faster now, and teams with Thomas Jr. or Ball are doing a good job in terms of organization. So when you play with them, be patient and don't always stand there, remember, I'm going to watch you perform, and if you're lazy, you're always watching your teammates play one-on-two or one-on-three and still don't move much, I'll just let you down......"

The Lakers' lineup on the second quarter of the game is Lopez, Channing, Kuzma, Thomas Jr., Ingram! Kuz is coming soon! This is the guy who played famous with the Lakers last season!

You think he's pretty ordinary, and you even think that a player like him is basically a blue-collar striker on the field. The average number of points played in a game is about 20 points, and it would be good to score 6-12 points.

As a result, he was able to score more than 20 points in Los Angeles, a star-studded place! The team gave him a chance, and he proved himself with his data! Flexible footsteps, comprehensive technology, can break through, good physical strength, confrontation is OK, and shooting also has a certain accuracy!

It's this kind of performance that gave him a place on the Lakers right away! Channing also came to the field. Channing's rebounds are average, but his three-point shot is still okay.

The center is Lopez, and the point guard is still Thomas Jr. If Kobe Bryant followed the last quarter, then this quarter is the performance of the two players who came to the Lakers from the Cavaliers!

The players on this side of the Nets are Okafor, Carroll, Jonathan, Russell and Crabbe! In the third quarter, Chen felt that it should be a section where he could see the result of today's game. So he also made some changes to the lineup in this section.

The assistant coaches knew there was a change in the lineup, but they didn't say anything. The Nets' current roster can only be run in through a certain amount of time. I can't ask for anything at the moment. What good do they know how to play hard with the Lakers in this quarter?

The performance of the opponent in the first quarter was also seen. Even if the lineup is good in this section, it may not be able to surpass the Lakers in the end! Not to mention the second half! If Wharton puts Kobe and Nash on the court, one is experienced in passing and the other is sharp in attacking, and I don't know how far the Nets can play.

Russell held the ball to the frontcourt, Jonathan took his pass and quickly passed Kuzma before making a layup and was directly fanned off by Lopez to fan the ball away! Russell picks up basketball for three points no! Thomas Jr. went straight to a rebound......

The Lakers fans at the scene began to cheer for Thomas Jr.! This player is not tall, but he is full of energy! You can grab rebounds and block big players during the game!

After passing Carab, Carroll easily passed the opponent and went to the frontcourt, but he was not in a hurry to shoot. Brooke came over to get his pass and then the three points were missing. At this time, suddenly Kuzma came from the other side, picked up the basketball in the air, and scored points with both hands!! 38:31!

The Nets were a little surprised! This guy can really run! Kuzma felt the need to speed up when he saw Thomas Jr. about to pass to Lopez!

Jonathan went to the frontcourt, Okafor took the basketball and let the opponent get a foul at Channing and hit all 2 free throws! 38:33! The Nets' main scoring points right now are Crabbe, Jonathan and Okafor.

Chen believes Okafor can play well in this quarter. Brooke is now more well-rounded, but he's also lost a lot of weight. In this case, Carroll will not go so well with Brooke when he is stuck in the position.

Ingram took the serve and went to the frontcourt, Kuzma quickly got his pass and hit a jumper with a three-point shot! 41:33! Immediately after Russell went to the frontcourt, saw that the pass was given to Crabbe, and after there was no hope, he held the ball and attacked Ingram to score 2 points!

Kuzma suddenly asked for the ball in the front court, and Thomas Jr. thought to himself that this guy was really energetic and passed the ball. Channing ran out immediately after seeing Okafor go in, and not long after receiving Kuzma's pass, he hit a three-point shot directly! 44:35!

Chan is about to take a timeout! If the Lakers were to shoot like that, they would basically not have to think about the third quarter.

'You have to pay extra attention to the opposing strikers, they all have good attacking qualities. For a while, the focus is on defending here, and on the outside, Thomas Jr. will pay more attention. Don't get too close to little Thomas. Offensively, Okafor and Jefferson are the main two people......"

Seeing that the score difference is about to open to 10 points, the fans are very excited! The Nets replaced Carroll, Jonathan. Dent and Jefferson then got on the court. The main thing is to suppress the opponent's attack.

"I don't think our team is flexible enough. Ball, you organize the team in a while, and Thomas Jr. will also see that he has a chance to attack again......"

Wharton sees that the opportunity is almost now! If the difference can be stretched to more than 15 points in this quarter, then the probability of basically winning the opponent will increase a lot!

Ball was a player who didn't do very well at the beginning. But as the game progressed, my experience and statistics got better and better! His composure on the court, his ability to organize teams and rebound, and his ability to score quickly at certain times have been widely recognized by the media.

He is not very strong in terms of scoring, but his vision on the field, the overall situation and the ball intelligence all reflect a relatively high level. The Lakers need players who can play, and they also need players like Ball to play on the team!

After returning to the arena, Chen immediately frowned when he saw the other party's adjustment. In the previous games, Ball or Thomas Jr. usually led the team alone. The basic meaning of having both of them play at the same time today is to make the team's operation more efficient and flexible.

The Lakers can no longer say that their players are young. They're still growing fast! This season, some players are improving their individual experience in the team, and some can still play a big role in key moments! The arrival of Thomas Jr. and Channing this season has made a difference for the Lakers.

In the past, in terms of organization, except for Nash, after playing for a while, it basically fell on Ball. Clarkson's words are still offensive on the field. So the Lakers will have some problems if they are watching more closely when the other side is watching.

And with such a lineup this season, the Lakers have a new force! Although he lost a few games, Chen also had a good chemistry when he saw Thomas Jr. and those youngsters on the Lakers playing together!

Channing can be viewed as a pure pitcher. Such a Lakers team is indeed looking forward to their performance this season as some media say!

Russell slowly made his way to the frontcourt, and he was watching the players on the Lakers' side. Jefferson took the basketball and ran straight to Kuzma! The latter didn't have time to react, Okafor jumped up directly after seeing the ball coming and took the basketball in the air to dunk and score! 44:37!

Jefferson's movements just now were so realistic, Okafor didn't expect the basketball to come over, and a series of actions were instinctive reactions! Not only does Jefferson have good defensive ability, but his speed, strength and dunk ability are also good!

Ball dribbled the ball across the half court, Thomas Jr. took the basketball and spun around Russell a few times, using his rhythm to shake the opponent away a bit, and then jumped up directly and hit a three-point shot! 47:37!

Today, the Lakers didn't miss three points! The Nets can only try their best to hold each other down. Crabbe didn't have a three-pointer after getting to the frontcourt, and Dent got the rebound and passed the ball quickly to Russell. The latter directly returned with a three-pointer! 47:40!

Kuzma took the basketball in the frontcourt, and Brook quickly received his ball and singled Okafor with his back! 49:40! Seeing that Russell, who had few opportunities, still chose to force the attack, Thomas Jr. almost cut off his ball, Russell hugged the basketball and passed the ball to Jefferson.

Crabbe ran to the bottom corner at this time, took the basketball, and the nets scored three points again! 49:43! The Lakers' attention is focused on Russell and Jefferson. I didn't expect Crabbe's shooting accuracy to come up!

Lopez took the basketball from beyond the three-point line, and the Nets didn't mean to guard him. Take Brooke and hit a direct three-point shot! 52:43!

Dante holds the ball in the front court, passes the opponent directly at Channing and scores a layup! 52:45!

......

The players didn't say anything, and the Nets players who played in the two quarters of the game were also replaced. But today's game against the Lakers in the first half still felt like it took a lot of physical strength! Thomas Jr.'s ability on the field is still relatively obvious.

Breaks, rebounds, assists, and personal breakouts can all be done!

67:59! The Lakers were also a little tired after playing the first half. The difference is still not more than 10 points! In the following games, the form of Crabbe and Jefferson began to rise! The Nets also mostly use passes inside or rely on Crabbe's three-pointers on the outside to score.

The Lakers also controlled their tempo well. However, there are times when the physical confrontation with the Nets is weaker. In this case, there is still suspense.

"Shall we take a break?"

"So do you want to let the main force come up again in the fourth quarter?" And the teaching assistants came to a room. Chen, who looked at them and shook his head a lot, continued.
