NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Hearing Lin Fei's words, Vogel nodded approvingly, and then quickly said: "That's good, that's good, we must start with defense!"

"Of course, we can't fall behind on the offensive end. Just like what Lin Fei analyzed just now, although they seem to have a strong overall defensive effect, they are only strong on the inside. Their outside defense is not even as good as the Cavaliers. You know, the Cavaliers' outside defense But with a defensive champion like Okoro!"

"Cheer up, everyone, although the Jazz are not weak, they are not that strong either!"

"Tomorrow's game, we are bound to win!"

After pouring a pot of chicken soup, the assistant coaches of the Lakers cheered up one after another. Now that there is a strategic tone for the battle, the assistant coaches of the Lakers only need to fill in some specific tactical details now!
I have to say that the assistant coaches of the Lakers are quite professional, and they can do this kind of work very well.

After a while, the coaching meeting ended, and the Lakers made a series of targeted deployments based on the characteristics of the Jazz.

Tomorrow's game against the Jazz, although James will not be able to play, but the Lakers rely on the lineup with Big Eyebrow as the core, coupled with targeted deployment, the problem of winning the Jazz is not too big!
The next night, 60 minutes before the game against the Jazz.

The Staples Center, the home arena of the Lakers, is already full of seats. Normally, some fans will not be there at this time, but now the Lakers are different!

Since Lin Fei came, the Lakers started to trade frantically and adjusted a fantasy lineup. After the lineup was formed, the Lakers started a crazy winning streak!
Afterwards, the Lakers officially announced that both James and Thick Eyebrow needed to rest, which made the hearts of Lakers fans hang up immediately. The lack of a dual-core Lakers lineup made it difficult to keep the winning streak.

But what the Lakers fans didn't expect was that the Lakers could use such a lineup to even beat the Cavaliers and Nets!

This greatly increased the confidence of Lakers fans in the Lakers.

Now that the Lakers are at home, facing the Jazz and continuing their winning streak, the fans naturally ran over to cheer for the Lakers players.

There are no empty seats 60 minutes before the start of the game. This kind of scene can only be seen in the Lakers playoffs. Even the playoffs of some teams in small markets cannot seat so many fans.

The high enthusiasm of the Lakers fans also surprised O'Neal and Barkley in front of the commentary. Originally, at this time, O'Neal and Barkley should be sorting out information and preparing for commentary.

But now that the seats of the Lakers fans are so full, O'Neal and Barkley are embarrassed to just leave the Lakers fans there, so they have to put down their preparations and start working on the hot field ahead of time!

With the experienced commentary of O'Neill and Barkley, the boring waiting became interesting, and time passed quickly.

After a while, players from both teams poured out of the player tunnel, ready for warm-up shooting training.

At this moment, when the Lakers players walked out of the player channel, the Lakers fans stood up spontaneously and cheered for the Lakers players.

Such enthusiasm made the Lakers players stunned for a moment. Those who didn't know thought that tonight's game was a playoff game!
How can the fans start cheering when the players are just getting ready for warm-up training?

Such an abnormal phenomenon also made the Jazz players in the player channel at the other end feel a little uneasy.

Hearing the roar of mountains and tsunami in his ears, Mitchell, the head player of the Jazz, touched his nose uneasily, then quickly touched Conley standing next to him with his elbow, and said in a low voice:

"Fack, what's going on, are the Lakers home fans in this state now? It's crazy!"

Hearing Mitchell's words, Conley sniffed slightly.

To be honest, even though Conley is a veteran of the team, he has been in the league for many years and has rich game experience, but this kind of situation is really rare, and Conley has never experienced it.

But Conley still insisted and said to Mitchell:

"Relax, young man, they won't be able to play James tonight, and now the fans are so loud, they are just trying to scare us!"

On the court, in addition to the strength of the court, the team's momentum is also very important!
It has to be said that the atmosphere of the Lakers fans has virtually suppressed the momentum of the Jazz by more than half since they came out!

As a veteran on the court, how could Conley not know the importance of momentum to victory, and what he said to Mitchell was to stabilize Mitchell's mentality.

Mitchell is now the boss of the team. As long as the boss's mentality is stable, other players will naturally be able to stabilize their positions!

Sure enough, after hearing Conley's comfort, Mitchell was obviously much more stable. As the leader of the Jazz, Mitchell also knew what he should do.

Afterwards, Mitchell slapped his hands hard and said to his teammates:
"Hey guys, brace yourself, they're just bluffing, they want to scare us! Brace yourself, don't let them get their way!"

The teammates nodded one after another, and the momentum of the Jazz quickly stabilized.

Afterwards, Mitchell gathered the Jazz players together and chanted the team slogan exclusive to the Jazz.

After simple adjustments, the mentality of the Jazz players has stabilized, and the voices of the Lakers fans at home have become less deafening.

Seeing that the adjustment was almost done, Mitchell quickly led the players into the field and started warm-up training!
"Hey, guys, listen to the voices of the fans at the scene. Tonight's game must be very exciting. Look at the momentum of the Lakers. The confidence of the Lakers players must be very high now!"

"Yes, yes, I have to say that tonight's Lakers' home court has become the devil's home court. This kind of momentum is a nightmare for all away teams. The Jazz players may not have thought that such a situation would happen!"

At the same time, as the remaining Lakers fans entered the field, the fans at home of the Lakers became louder and louder, which made O'Neal and Barkley in front of the technical stage couldn't help but marvel again.

"You're right, but the Jazz are also very professional. Obviously, they adjusted their status in time, and the current Jazz players seem to be in good condition."

"Yeah, they adjusted very well, but I have to say that tonight's game is a challenge for the Jazz!"

O'Neal and Barkley in front of the technical stage chatted with each other sentence by sentence. Soon, the game officially started, and the starting players of both sides entered the field.

The Lakers sent: Brogdon, Covington, Boucher, Thick Eyebrow, Howard!

The Jazz sent: Mitchell, Gobert, Boyang Bogdanovic, Royce O'Neal and Conley!
The lineup of the two sides, from the perspective of the lineup, the Jazz is not 01:30 points lower.

The Lakers lineup is full of tall and strong men with a height of about 2 meters, and the Jazz, although they have the "Baguette" Gobert as the inside pillar, but the two small guards Conley and Mitchell are seriously pulled. Lower lineup height.

The lineups of the two sides are matched, and the Jazz will be shorter in stature and athletic ability.

Obviously, the starting lineup of the Lakers is to fill up the defense at the beginning. Facing such a tall lineup, the Jazz's Mitchell and Conley will be very difficult to play!

Sure enough, after Gobert jumped the ball to get the ball at the beginning, Mitchell's first offense was severely restricted by the Lakers!
According to the usual practice, Mitchell likes to attack the inside line at the beginning. After passing Brogdon with difficulty, Mitchell rushed into the inside line and was just about to make a layup when suddenly a black shadow came out from the side.
Brother Nongmei jumped up high, and slapped the basketball in the air hard!
Brogdon found the right opportunity and saved the basketball that was about to go out of bounds. In this way, Mitchell was deflated on the first offense, and the ball returned to the Lakers in this way!
