Chapter 688 Power
The 76ers attacked, Saric held the ball on the outside and then gave Embiid, and the others opened the position and then gave him a single shot.
At this moment, Yi Jianlian quickly double-teamed. Embiid was particularly uncomfortable in singles, but he was tall and had a wide vision. He felt that he had no chance, so he turned around and gave the ball to Okafor on the other side.
Okafor received the ball, got up and made a layup.
But Noel had turned around at this time, obviously not giving such an easy opportunity.
Okafor turned around and took action, but was disturbed by Yi Jianlian who was driven over and shot out.
The rebound was caught by Noel.
The Lakers played again, and this time Westbrook held the ball from the outside, and Tang Shuaihe cut into the basket.
After Tang Shuai attracted the defense, Westbrook gave the ball to Yi Jianlian outside the three-point line. The latter glanced at Okafor and did not defend himself and shot directly.
"Swish!"
There is still this ball!
After coming up, Yi Jianlian felt quite good.
After hitting consecutively, he seemed very excited and shouted with a fist.
Billups watched from the side and couldn't help but nod.
Yi Jianlian performed quite well in the past few rounds. If this performance is maintained, the Lakers' signing will definitely be worth it.
Yi Jianlian made consecutive shots, showing his shooting stability, but Reeves was obviously not a vegetarian. He replaced Okafor with Stauskas and pushed Salic to the power forward.
Saric is obviously better than Okafor's defensive footsteps, and this change also makes Yi Jianlian lose the opportunity to take action as easily as before.
At this time, Embiid showed his historical talent in the inside, unable to score against double teams, but he grabbed offensive rebounds and scored for a while, causing Yi Jianlian and Noel to explode.
The two sides played for several rounds, and the 76ers led 1o-8.
The home team's performance also won the support of the audience. They were originally looking forward to the Lakers' Two Young Masters' performance, and began to cheer for the home team.
Tang Shuai took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. After seeing the score on the field, he looked left at Westbrook, and the two nodded at the same time.
It's time to solve the problem in a simple way.
Tang Shuai asked Yi Jianlian to come up with a pick-and-roll. After blocking, he broke through directly to the inside.
The Saric ball player who assisted in defense was excellent and came up immediately.
At this moment, Tang Shuai suddenly swung with a cross step, and then changed directions continuously to shake Salic to a sturdy center of gravity.
The next second, he added to the right, took a big step, followed by an emergency stop jump shot.
Saric couldn't keep up with this pace at all.
"Swish!"
Tang Shuai's goal was steadily hit.
After the handsome guy broke through and upgraded to purple, he was able to hit Saric in the inside line.
The 76ers tried to maintain the scoring and hand over to the inside Embiid to play again, but after being scored continuously, Yi Jianlian's assisting defense was much earlier. Embiid made a strong shot and Noel grabbed the defensive rebound after blocking Okafor.
The Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, which was almost the same tactics, but this time the attacker was replaced by Westbrook. After blocking, he rushed into the inside line and faced Embiid's defense, a rhythm change directly scored.
The 76ers played Saric, and he received the ball from the free throw line and flicked Yi Jianlian straight into the inside.
Noel made up for defense, and Salic cleverly avoided the layup, but at the moment of taking action, Yi Jianlian arrived from behind and slapped the ball directly on the rebound.
There was an uproar in the scene.
This is a black man with yellow skin...
Many people have such an idea.
In fact, it was a bit lucky to have this ball, because Noel was not a vegetarian, and Salic was all focused on him, so he naturally suffered a loss.
Of course, fans can't see these details. They just saw Yi Jianlian blocking the shot and then shouted and grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Lakers carried the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and Westbrook came again. After he broke into the inside, the 76ers' defense was forced to shrink.
At the same time, Tang Shuai used Batum's pick-and-roll to reach the right wing three-point line. With a wave of his hand, Westbrook's pass arrived.
He didn't hesitate, and he clicked Simmons, who was flying to repair his defense, and then took action.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Westbrook and Tang Shuaike appeared in the first connection of the game, and the latter's three-point line was accurately placed in the pocket.
"Follow your own people and follow!" Reeves roared anxiously on the sidelines.
In the 76ers' offense, Simmons showed his talent, shaking continuously to get rid of Batum's defense, and a tilt back shot steadily.
"Bang!"
The ball swayed beautifully, but unfortunately, when he finally took action, he was not very lucky and popped up the frame again.
Embiid squeezed Noel and Yi Jianlian to grab the offensive rebound, which caused cheers from the fans on the scene, but before he could get up to shoot, Yi Jianlian took off.
After being cut, Embiid turned around and complained to the referee that he had been beaten, but the referee did not whistle.
He is still too young, and compared with the veteran Yi Jianlian, he is much worse in experience.
The Lakers took advantage of the situation and rushed to fast break, and Shuai Tang and Westbrook connected.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, Tang Shuai saw the opportunity and threw an empty ball into the sky. Westbrook jumped and took off, paused in the air, then his whole body went down and smashed the ball into the basket through Bayless.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Bayless was locked up and was knocked out of the field, looking extremely embarrassed.
The fans on the scene were stunned in an instant.
This is simply too violent!
After Westbrook landed, he took a casual look at Bayless, then turned around and retreated to the half.
Reeves frowned and reached out and called for a timeout.
In just two minutes, the Lakers, under the repeated bombings of Shuai Tang and Westbrook, made a 9-to-o attack wave, which immediately widened the score.
When the game ended, Shuai Tang and Westbrook just clapped their hands gently.
From their relaxed expressions, we can see that they basically didn’t have much strength, just in line with the sentence: I haven’t even had the strength, you have already fallen down.
Billups also looked very relaxed. Last season, Tang Shuai led the team with one-core team, so he was worried that his head fell a lot. Now, the dual-core game has become simpler.
After the timeout, Reeves defended a 2-3 joint defense, trying to limit the Lakers' double-team killing in the inside, but such a defense just gave Tang Shuai the opportunity to show his stable shooting ability. He first hit an open three-pointer, then hit Simmons, rushed into the three-point line and scored one step and then pulled it out. After the individual scored a 5-o attack wave, he directly defeated the 76ers.
After all, the 76ers are still young. After three consecutive minutes of scoring, they are completely disorganized, and their subsequent counterattacks seem very powerless.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, Reeves looked gloomy and felt like he would be shadowed by Tang Shuai for the rest of his life.
118-1o2, the Lakers defeated the 76ers away and ushered in their preseason victory.
Tang Shuai and Westbrook both played only for more than ten minutes. They easily scored 14 points, 3 assists and 12 points and 2 assists respectively, with few scores, but the opening wave directly laid the tone of the game.
However, Yi Jianlian, perhaps to examine him, gave him enough time in this game, played for 32 minutes, and his performance was also very good. He scored 2o points from 7 of 14 shots. Although it was a preseason, he scored 2o points at the first time, which was definitely a good start, but not better.
After winning the 76ers, the Lakers got off to a good start. In the two games with the team's morale, they continued to work hard and won the Wizards, Rockets and Raptors respectively, winning a strong four-game winning streak.
These games have one thing in common, that is, during the stalemate, Shuai Tang and Westbrook always fired continuously, and the score was widened with one wave of flow.
It is not easy to defend one of two levels, let alone two. Moreover, the two of them have never played the ball before, but they seem to have a tacit understanding on the court, and ordinary teams really can't stand it.
After these preseason games, Lakers fans' expectations for this new team have also risen sharply. With the record of last season, they have begun to shout the slogan of the championship.
Some people still feel disdainful of this reaction.
The most obvious performance here is Green of the Warriors. He directly stated on Twitter: "Some people are already complacent about their preseason performance. Maybe the league should set up a preseason championship?"
Although there was no direct name, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a sarcastic mockery.
And this is born before the preseason match between the two sides.
"Don, Draymond really can't stop every time!" In the locker room before the game, Batum looked at the message on Twitter and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What Twitter?" Westbrook basically didn't use such social tools. He came over and took Batum's phone and started to watch it.
After taking a look, he couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, Russell, you have to get used to it. We last played last year, they were much more arrogant than this, but in the end, they were beaten back and fishing?" Stephenson said with a smile.
Westbrook didn't say anything, and returned the phone to Batum, and went to change his clothes on his own.
Shuai Tang gave Stephenson a color, and the latter also shut up with tactfulness.
Speaking of which, the league is not idle. In terms of schedule, not only did the two teams be arranged to play in the fifth game of the preseason, but even the opening game was played by the two teams.
This has little impact on the rest of the Lakers. After all, they played the seventh tiebreak in the playoffs and won, so they had no psychological burden at all.
But Westbrook is different. Durant is with the Warriors. The two have played together for so long before. It is impossible to let go immediately. I don’t know if the grudge between the Lakers and the Warriors will affect his game.
On January 16, US time, the Lakers were at home and ushered in the fifth game of the preseason. Their opponent was the Warriors with F4 and Bogut.
Like the Lakers, the Warriors also easily won the preseason in the previous preseason, and the sparks that the two teams will create are also particularly eye-catching.
