Cassell heard a snap, then felt his hand go numb, and with a flick, the basketball had left his hand, and then there was a 'bang' sound, which was the muffled sound of the basketball hitting the backboard.
.
"Oh!" There were exclamations in the stadium, and many people stood up from their seats and looked at the stadium with wide eyes. This is a game that does not attract much attention. Although the Los Angeles Derby is so
I nodded my head, but the stars of both sides, Kobe Bryant and captain Brand Haywood, were both injured. Brand only played a few minutes, and Kobe was sitting on the sidelines in a suit. This is not the case here.
Los Angeles, so although there were many fans at the scene, the atmosphere was not very enthusiastic.
Only a few powerful dunks aroused cheers and applause from the fans at the scene.
But this block is extraordinary!
During the replay on the big screen at the scene, Adrian, wearing the purple and gold No. 1 jersey, rushed into the picture almost instantly. When Cassel was about to complete a not-so-pretty dunk, he slapped the basketball and nailed it to the ground.
On the backboard!
This is not a very beautiful dunk, but it is an extremely exciting pursuit block that makes people excited!
After landing, Adrian immediately took off and grabbed the rebound. Before landing, he swung the basketball towards the front court and rushed towards the front court with his legs. When he landed, he deliberately bumped slightly and was unable to keep his footing.
Cassel was steady. This small move that was difficult for the referee to detect directly made Cassel unsteady. When Radmanovic received the basketball and passed it back to Adrian who was rushing forward quickly, the forward
The field immediately formed a four-on-five situation.
Adrian controlled the ball and broke through. Previously, almost all the Clippers players believed that Cassel's fast break was a sure success, so they were not prepared for a counterattack if the fast break failed. The defensive formation was full of gaps because of the lack of one person.
, Adrian broke through and entered the three-point line, but instead of going to the basket, he threw the basketball directly to the right side of the backboard.
There, Ronny Turiaf soared into the sky, grabbed the basketball at the perfect position, and dunked on Boniface with both hands!
"Clang!"
The violent sound of the frame being smashed spread throughout the audience, and immediately, applause and cheers came like a flood. The less than enthusiastic atmosphere was ignited with this explosive dunk after chasing down the shot and blocking the shot.
"What a great job, boy, I had no idea you could run so fast." Radmanovic cheered and rushed up to hug Adrian.
"That's great, it's just such a pass." Turiaf, who let go of the rim and fell down, also rushed towards Adrian: "You should pass more basketballs like this to me, you know my dunks are...
The most exciting Lakers!"
The Lakers bench also burst into cheers. Interim head coach Rambis looked at Adrian, who was smiling on the court, and couldn't help but nodded: "He has a strong outlook on the overall situation, excellent physical fitness, and he also passes the ball well."
Yes, coupled with his height, maybe we can try to start him... Unfortunately, shooting is a big problem, and if he is allowed to start, it will be difficult to arrange the playing time of Farmar and Parker."
Rambis looked at Farmar, then at Parker, and sighed in distress. Unfortunately, if he could shoot better, he wouldn't need to worry about the point guard.
"Damn!" Clippers head coach Dunleavy gritted his teeth on the sidelines. This block and dunk not only expanded the Lakers' lead to 7 points, but also completely changed the atmosphere on the court.
"Should we call a timeout?" Dunleavy thought hesitantly for a while, and finally shook his head in his mind. Theoretically, a timeout should be called at this time, which can disrupt the momentum of the Lakers even without arranging any tactics. However,
There was less than a minute left. One attack and one defense would end the quarter. It was not economical to waste a timeout opportunity. After thinking about it, Dunleavy finally gave up the idea of calling a timeout. All tactical changes were made until
We'll decide during halftime.
Neither side took advantage of the last two offensive opportunities. Cassel took the shot for the Clippers, but was eventually interfered by Adrian. Adrian tried to shoot a mid-range shot, but the basketball was very disrespectful.
pops up directly.
As the two teams clashed at the last minute, the second quarter ended.
The game enters halftime.
"Hey, you did a good job, guys." The score was leading on the field, and the Lakers also showed some advantages, which made Rambis very happy. During the halftime break, he took the opportunity to praise all the players.
One pass.
Rambis is a very ambitious assistant coach. As a veteran of the Lakers, he has been an assistant coach with the Lakers for four years. He is also an important assistant to Phil Jackson when he coached the Lakers for the second time. Rambis has always been
He has high requirements for himself as a head coach and believes that one day he can take over the coaching staff of the Lakers from Phil Jackson.
This time Phil Jackson had to rest due to hip surgery, which gave Rambis an opportunity. This was not only a way for Rambis to hone his abilities, but also an opportunity to prove his coaching ability.
However, after Kobe entered the locker room, the somewhat heated atmosphere in the locker room immediately cooled down.
Although Kobe entered the locker room with a smile, put on a friendly gesture, and chatted and laughed with Odom and other major players for a while, the moment he entered the locker room, Adrian really
It felt as if the Lakers' locker room had entered a freezer instantly, and the temperature dropped several degrees.
"Is this guy's body a natural freezer?" Adrian couldn't help but look at Kobe with some suspicion. Kobe didn't stay for long, and after talking for a while, he left the locker room naturally. Adrian vaguely heard the sound sitting in the locker room.
Turiaf beside him seemed to snort slightly.
In the second half, Adrian did not continue to play. Rambis replaced him and replaced him with this year's rookie Jordan Farmar. Perhaps stimulated by Adrian's performance in the first half, Jordan Farmar came on in the second half.
Marr was extremely active. Facing Sean Livingston, who was replaced by the Clippers, he fully demonstrated the advantages of his short and fat body. His physical fitness was mediocre, but he bullied a tall, thin and weak Livingston.
As a defender, he has quite an advantage, especially because despite his average speed, he bounces surprisingly well. This allows him to face Livingston without suffering a disadvantage even though he has a height disadvantage.
Of course, more importantly, at the beginning of the second half, the Lakers showed an astonishing shooting percentage that was more than one step higher than the Clippers. Vujacic made two of four three-pointers, scored nine points on three of four free throws, and Farmar made three shots.
Three hits, even Odom, who was substituted on the court to regain his form, scored four points on two of three shots. The Lakers suddenly widened the score gap with a super high shooting rate of 67% in the first five minutes of the second half.
At 17 points, although Dunleavy repeatedly deployed his troops and even replaced four main players at one point, the Clippers' offense was indeed very smooth, but they were unable to stop the Lakers' sudden shooting percentage.
By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were already leading by 22 points.
The game entered the fourth quarter, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers players suddenly discovered that the Clippers' main players had all sat off the court, leaving only a group of substitutes on the court.
give up!
With one quarter left, the Clippers gave up the game.
