Chapter 116 Rivers Up!Vogel adjusted in time

The second quarter started, and the players from both sides returned to the field!

"Okay, guys, the second quarter is about to start! Let's see what adjustments both sides have made to the lineup!"

"Oh, the Lakers did not choose to adjust the lineup. This is a good decision. After all, their lineup performed very well in the first quarter. To be honest, there is no need for them to make adjustments!"

"But it's different on the Heat's side. Coach Spoelstra has to make adjustments. Now Coach Spoelstra puts Oladipo on the court. Guys, Oladipo is a very good scoring player. Coach Spoelstra made this adjustment well!"

The commentary duo in front of the commentary quickly analyzed the situation on the field, and at the same time introduced the adjustments made by the two teams to the audience.

"Coach Spoelstra did a good job. The Heat must make up some point difference in the second quarter, otherwise they will be very passive in the second half!"

While the commentary duo was explaining the situation on the field, with the whistle of the referee, the second quarter of the game officially started.

The first offense in the second quarter was the Heat's possession of the ball. Oladipo, who had just played, consciously assumed the role of the ball holder. After receiving the baseline ball from Heat center Adebayor, Oladi Bo quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing the current lineup of the Lakers, Oladipo decisively chose to go to Rivers, the worst defensive Lakers lineup on the singles field!
Rivers has also been prepared for a long time. Facing Oladipo's singles with the ball, Rivers' eyes are slightly condensed. After lowering his center of gravity, his eyes are fixed on Oladipo's core position, and his brain quickly predicts Oladipo's next move.

At this moment, Oladi fluctuated!
Quickly down the ball, Oladipo broke through to Rivers' front side foot with his first quick step, and in a blink of an eye, he got caught by a half of Rivers.

Seeing this, Rivers quickly turned his hips and followed up to defend Oladipo.

Oladipo saw Rivers change his defensive footsteps, quickly made a back pull back, and at the same time leaned on Rivers with his upper body, the ball protector made a secret effort, and threw Rivers out directly. Far.

After getting out of position, Oladipo decisively chose to combine the ball to shoot two points, and the two points succeeded. Oladipo performed well in singles and scored two points for the Heat!

"Wow, wow, this ball is so smooth and flowing. Seriously, if it wasn't for Rivers' luck, he might just be thrown to the ground and watch Oladipo shoot!"

"You're right, this kid is really lucky, haha, he was almost ashamed."

"Haha, look at what Rivers looks like, I bet he must be very upset now!"

"That's for sure, man, he almost lost his face on NFL just now."

After Barkley and O'Neal in front of the commentary saw the scene on the court, they couldn't help laughing and began to tease Rivers aloud.

But this is the home court of the Lakers. Such an obvious act of making fun of the Lakers players immediately drew the eyes of the Lakers fans at the scene, and even some fans who were seated close to the commentary table had already picked up their beers and prepared to give O'Neal and Barkley Previous "Too Heart Cool"!
Barkley and O'Neal felt that what they just said might be a bit inappropriate. After seeing the eyes of the Lakers fans, Barkley and O'Neal exchanged glances, and changed their words to bring the topic to the court:
"Ahem, well, guys, now that the ball is back in the hands of the Lakers, let's see if Rivers can get back on the field. I'm still very optimistic about him!"

"Yes, yes, this young man is very good, and I am also very optimistic about him!"

Hearing the two changed their words, the Lakers fans behind the commentary gave up and poured the beer in their mouths one after another, and turned their eyes back to the game field.

On the field at this time, Rivers asked James for the ball when he went to the frontcourt. After getting the ball, facing Oladipo's defense, Rivers pulled it up and shot!
The shot selection of this ball was a bit bad. Rivers was greatly interfered by Oladipo, and his shooting hand shape was completely deformed. In the end, the ball failed to hit the basket.

In the following round, Oladipo took the ball and hit Rivers for 2 consecutive rounds. Various techniques such as turn-around jump shots, emergency stops, mid-range, etc. made Rivers, who was not good at defense, unable to find the north. .

And Rivers was obviously a little anxious by Oladipo, and his offensive choices became more and more unreasonable, and he repeatedly forced shots against the defense.

With such an unreasonable choice, the hit rate is naturally very low!

But Rivers' stubbornness also came up, and on the offensive end he still opened his hands to James for the ball.

This move made James, Vogel and Lin Fei on the sidelines all frowned. Firth's eyes are obviously red here!

"Covington, warm up and prepare to replace that kid Rivers!"

Vogel stared, then turned his head and explained to Covington on the bench.

Covington nodded hastily, then stood up, tore off his training clothes, ran to the technical stage in his jersey, and began to warm up.

At this time, James on the field waved his hand at Rivers: "Hey, kid, calm down, calm down!"

After speaking, James turned his head and stopped looking at Rivers, and took the ball to prepare for singles.

You know, James has been paddling for more than half a quarter, and now he is very energetic. Facing Butler's defense in front of him, James is not in vain, and he will kill Butler inside!

Butler's defensive awareness is very good, but it is not enough to make up for the physical gap between the two. In the end, he has no choice but to be forced into the inside by James. Although James did not put the ball into the basket in the end, Butler Lost a foul.

James was able to win 2 free throw opportunities, and then walked to the free throw line to prepare for free throws. At this time, Vogel on the side quickly gestured to Covington in front of the technical table, signaling Covington to go to the court to throw Rivers Substitute.

After Rivers was replaced, Vogel immediately put him on the bench, and said in a deep voice: "You did a good job before, kid, but you still lack some rationality. Remember to keep calm at all times. !"

"For each ball, choose the best shot opportunity, don't hit blindly."

Rivers had calmed down at this time, he lowered his head a little frustrated, listening to Vogel's reprimand, Rivers nodded silently, and replied softly:
"Sorry, Mr. Vogel, it's my fault, I won't do this next time!"

Seeing Rivers' modest look, Vogel nodded slightly and said nothing more.
