NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Seeing Jia Lan playing again, the Lakers quickly called a timeout, rearranged the starting lineup, and faced Jia Lan one by one.

The Cavaliers also set up their starting lineups. In this way, the starting lineups of the two teams faced each other again in the second half of the third quarter.

The confrontational result was completely different from the beginning of the first quarter. After recovering his physical strength, Jialan was fully fired. Facing Bradley's defense, Jialan suddenly became freer, whether it was a step back after dribbling. Jump shots or dribble shots after pick-and-rolls are frequently hit!
However, Jialan's defensive problem still cannot be resolved. Brogdon and Powell of the Lakers frequently use their size advantage on the offensive end to single Jialan and score crazy points.

However, generally speaking, Jialan played a positive role on the court, which is why Cavaliers coach Bickerstaff has not replaced Jialan.

The Cavaliers didn't panic, but the Lakers were a little flustered. Since Jia Lan came on the court, the point difference has been continuously eroded and slowly opened by the Cavaliers.

But facing a system like the Cavaliers, Lakers coach Vogel has nothing to do but wait quietly for Howard's physical strength to recover.

In this way, the game continued until the first half of the fourth quarter. The aging Howard finally recovered almost. Vogel quickly took advantage of the free throw of the Cavaliers and ran to the technical table to signal the referee to change. Take a break, replace Howard, and at the same time keep Bembry, who performed well just now, on the court.

But when Vogel gave this instruction to the young male assistant, the young male assistant stopped there hesitantly.

Seeing this, Vogel frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you hesitating about? Hurry up, time waits for no one!"

The young male assistant quickly expressed his doubts: "Head coach, Bembry had some symptoms on his right knee before, and he has played a lot of time today. If he plays again, will there be any hidden dangers?"

Hearing the question from the young male teaching assistant, Vogel snorted coldly, and did not answer his question directly, but said hastily: "Go and execute my order first! I will answer your question later!"

Hearing the hurried tone of the head coach Vogel, the young male assistant nodded quickly, turned around and ran to the bench, and gave the head coach's instructions.

After hearing the order, Howard immediately stood up, trotted all the way to the field, and replaced Boucher.

Bembry, who performed well, continued to be left on the court.

After speaking Vogel's order, the young male assistant coach returned to the head coach Vogel respectfully.

Seeing the attitude of the young male assistant, Vogel's original anger also dissipated more than half, and after a slight pause, Vogel continued: "I know Bembry has an injury, but now the team needs him. "

"Don't think I'm disregarding the safety of the players, you know, Bembry is now a player on a ten-day short contract, and his player period is about to expire! He performed very well in this game, If I were to take him down now, his next contract would probably be wiped out."

"So, I'm giving him a chance, or, you can ask him, now he chooses to continue playing, or go back to the court to rest, to prevent his damn right knee injury?"

Hearing Vogel's explanation, the young male teaching assistant suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and said with some embarrassment: "So that's the case, sorry, Mr. Vogel, I'm sorry for my stupid behavior just now."

Seeing the modesty of the young man in front of him, Vogel smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Young man, listen more, do more, talk less, I am very optimistic about you!"

After finishing speaking, Vogel turned around and returned his gaze to the field.

on the playing field.

Since the Lakers replaced Howard, the rebounds have been guaranteed at once!
This has greatly improved the defensive efficiency of the Lakers, but on the offensive end, Howard's attributes as a big center are a bit of a drag on the offensive space of the Lakers. On the offensive end, Howard is not as good as Boucher today, but fortunately Howard still has a Good body, at least able to bully the little guy when the inside is misplaced.

With Howard's efforts, the point difference between the Lakers and the Cavaliers began to narrow slowly until the middle and late part of the fourth quarter. There were still 5 minutes before the end of the game. The Lakers scored 89:95 and fell behind by six points for the time being. .

In this period of time, the physical strength of the players on both sides has begun to decline, especially Jia Lan of the Cavaliers. His playing time today is close to 40 minutes. The team is attacking, mobilizing the inside of the Cavaliers, and he will be targeted by the Lakers in turn on the defensive end!

At this time, Jia Lan's physical strength has bottomed out. He is sweating profusely on the court, and his legs have begun to feel weak. Judging from his performance on the court, it is more intuitive. The three-pointers that he could easily make have also begun to weaken. , are frequently lost.

However, although Jialan's personal offensive skills began to weaken on the offensive end, Jialan's passing skills did not drop much. Therefore, the head coach of the Cavaliers still did not choose to replace Jialan!

On the other hand, the Lakers are much more comfortable. Brogdon, Rivers, Howard and others have not played too long, and your physical reserves are much better than Jialan. All of this is due to Thanks to the performance of all the Lakers players tonight.

It can be said that tonight's Lakers are all soldiers!

At this time period, the physical strength of the Cavaliers' starting core point guard Jia Lan has declined seriously. It is a good opportunity for the Lakers to sound the horn of counterattack. The lineup was put up: Brogdon, Covington, Bradley, Boucher and Howard!
The head coach of the Cavaliers also knew the purpose of the Lakers' timeout this time, and quickly changed the three-high system to the court to form a set of Garland, Okolo, Love, Jarrett Allen and Mobley.

In this way, the strongest lineups that the two sides can come up with will face off again at the end of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the Cavaliers have a 6-point lead, but the Cavaliers' starting core point guard Jialan's physical strength has also begun to bottom out, and it has not yet been known who will win the game!

The Cavaliers home fans straightened up, their eyes fixed on the playing field, and Lin Fei on the sidelines also widened his eyes, concentrating his energy. Obviously, everyone present realized that this game The decisive moment of the game is about to begin!
