Chapter 21 Los Angeles City Battle

Starting team, Russell, Clarkson, Luol Deng, Randle, Mozgov.

Substitute team, Zheng Long, Nick Young, Caruso, Ingram, Nance Jr.

This intra-team training game has emptied almost all of the Lakers' financial resources.

There were two people sitting by the court.

Former undrafted Tarik Black, and Brazilian veteran Marcelo Huertas.

It's an old water dispenser.

This can be seen from the height of the lineups of both sides.

Currently, the Lakers only have one center in Mozgov who is over 2.1 meters tall.

In this "small ball era", traditional high center forwards have become a hot commodity.

Timofey Mozgov from Russia.

He was the Cavaliers' second center last season.

The Lakers spent four years and $64 million to sign him in the offseason.

This price is compared to other locations.

Not too cheap.

Zheng Long called his teammates over.

Analyze the situation of opposing players for them.

"Listen, Nance Jr., I know you've always wanted to compete for the starting position. If you can protect the rebound from Mozgov today, the head coach will definitely start to consider this."

"And you! Caruso, Luol Deng is getting too old to be honest. Show your energy. I believe you will have a chance to make your NBA debut tomorrow against the Clippers."

"It's early in the season and the rotation within the team has not been fixed yet."

"Today's training match is not an opportunity for them to take a vacation, but an opportunity for you."

"understand?"

Zheng Long's teachings were very useful. Little Nance and Caruso were eager to cheer themselves up.

Nick Young and Ingram next to him looked at Zheng Long longingly.

Zheng Long naturally understood what the two of them were thinking.

What about the two of us?

"Nick Young, you are the veteran in the team, I can't control you."

"As for you, Ingram."

"If you can't prevent Randall from dying, then don't train with me starting tomorrow. Haven't I taught you enough!?"

Ingram showed a bitter look.

Although he is even 3 centimeters taller than Randall.

But the tonnage.

The difference is almost 30 kilograms.

Nick Young also felt that he had been ignored by Zheng Long.

This kid must still hold grudges about that one-on-one fight.

But.

He was obviously beaten up!

Beep----

The assistant coach blew the whistle to start the game.

At the same time, Wharton pressed the timer.

End countdown, 12 minutes.

Starting team 45 - Substitute 54

The starting team must overtake the score within 12 minutes!

The starting team, which took the lead in attacking, realized something was wrong after just two rounds.

I don’t know if the players on the substitute team took stimulants.

Extraordinarily focused and tough.

"Damn it, Ingram is crazy, he didn't even give me a chance to take action."

Randall couldn't help but complain.

The players in the original starting team thought that it would be enough to restrict Zheng Long.

And they did.

Take advantage of Russell and Clarkson's double teams.

To limit Zheng Long's moves.

But the teammate who received the pass from Zheng Long.

He rushed into the inside line neatly.

Seek confrontation.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides is getting stronger and stronger.

Mutual exchange!

The foul whistle kept sounding.

"Thugs! He's thugs!!!"

Nance Jr., who scored the second time under the basket, patted his arm emotionally.

Indicates a foul to Mozgov.

Mozgov looked innocent.

Brother, it's just a training match, do you need to be so serious?

On the sidelines, Walton was in a good mood after seeing this scene.

"Did you see it? Xiao, now he looks a little serious!"

Brian Shaw is currently the lead assistant coach on the team.

Last season, he worked for the Philadelphia 76ers.

"I feel like they're going to start a fight."

Brian Xiao's expression was a little worried.

"In the 76ers' team training games, there was no such strong smell of gunpowder."

"It's best to fight!"

Wharton's eyes became hot.

There is too little competition within the current Lakers team.

"In our day."

"Fights within the team are common."

"In the past, whoever had the toughest fists and toughest competition had the most say."

"Now it has become a competition for the number of Instagram followers."

Brian Shaw: "Times have changed. After Silver took over from Mr. Stern, everything was different."

Wharton hesitated to speak and did not continue the topic.

On the field, the game has passed for 8 minutes.

The substitute team still maintains a 4-point lead.

Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry.

The starting team was tightly guarded by the substitute team.

Anger was also ignited.

Russell dribbled to the frontcourt.

Facing Zheng Long.
