NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

At this time, Vogel sighed helplessly when he saw the panting James. When he started this new lineup, Vogel knew the weakness of this new lineup, which is the strongest James!
After all, James is old. Although his physical fitness is still top-notch, his physical strength is still not as good as before. Now let him play the center forward, and his physical strength will be even greater!
This is the shortcoming of this new lineup. Vogel did not expect that Lin Fei would discover the weakness of his new lineup so quickly, attacking the inside line frantically.

It's only the first quarter, and James is already panting heavily. If James is allowed to top the center in the second quarter, he will definitely lose a lot of energy, which will make it difficult to guarantee the efficiency of the third quarter!

So in the second quarter, James must not be allowed to play all the time!
But at this time Vogel discovered another very serious problem, that is, no one in the team can replace James anymore!
Now the only people on the team who have not played are Rivers and Gary Clark. Not to mention Rivers, a defender will definitely not be able to stand up to the center!

And Gary Clark's height is only 198cm, it is a bit reluctant to be a center forward.

But always let James rest for a while!
Vogel gritted his teeth and called Deckard to his side: "Hey, Deckard, I need to give you a task. In the next quarter, I need you to be the center forward and try to resist their impact on the inside!"

Vogel gave Deckard a good chance to prove his abilities, and Deckard quickly nodded in agreement, patted his chest and promised to complete the task.

Vogel nodded slightly, and then went on to talk about his other deployments.

"Hey, Clark, you go to the power forward position, Horton Tucker, you continue to play small forward! Rivers, you replace Monk!"

After the deployment, Vogel still chose to put Westbrook on the court. Although Westbrook's basket is not accurate, but his physical strength is not to be said, there is no problem in continuing to top two quarters!
In the end, Vogel put up a lineup of Westbrook, Rivers, Horton Tucker, Gary Clark and Dyke at the beginning of the second quarter, and the height of this lineup became even lower!
This is really a helpless move by Vogel, there is really no one in the team who can use it!
At this time, Lin Fei was still resolutely implementing the strategy of attacking the inside line!

In order to keep Brother Nongmei's strength, Lin Fei asked Anthony to replace Nongmei, and then Lin Fei took Bradley down again, and let Rondo play for a while!

The remaining three players, Howard, Johnson and Gabriel were all left on the court by Lin Fei!

In the end, Lin Fei put out a lineup consisting of Rondo, Johnson, Gabriel, Anthony and Howard.

This set is still a big lineup, and Lin Fei still chooses to attack the basket!
After the break time, the second quarter officially started, and the players from both sides returned to the court.

Seeing Vogel's lineup, Lin Fei was a little surprised. He didn't expect Vogel to take James off the court so early!

You know, taking James down means that the overall height of Vogel's lineup will be reduced again!

When Lin Fei saw that Deckard was at the top of the center, he secretly made up his mind that he must completely kill Vogel's lineup in the second quarter, otherwise he would be in trouble when James came back!
Thinking of this, Lin Fei hastily raised a thick eyebrow who was sitting on the bench resting.

"Hey, Brother Nongmei, hurry up and rest for a while, your rest time will not be very long, and you will be ready to play in a while!"

Nong Mei nodded again and again, stood up again and moved his body.

Back on the playing field, the Vogel team is making its first offense in the second quarter.

When Westbrook received the ball from the bottom line, he pulled up to full speed, holding the ball and pushing forward.

At this time, the Lin Fei team still chose to defend a 32-zone defense. Westbrook also knew that it was difficult to find a three-point opportunity, so he turned the ball to the flank at 45 degrees. Facing Rondo's defense, Westbrook made a decisive decision and made a dig. Use the speed to force Rondo.

Westbrook relied on his ultra-fast breakthrough speed to surpass Rondo by a full body position. Facing Howard's supplementary defense on the inside, Westbrook took it easy, jumped up and pretended to layup to trick Howard, and then threw the ball in the air to ambush him on the baseline Rivers.

Rivers' three-point shooting rate is not bad. Although he has just played, his hands are not soft at all. He throws the ball as soon as he catches the ball.

The Vogel team added another three points!

The Lin Fei team sent out the baseline ball, and Rondo received the ball and slowly pushed it to the frontcourt.

Facing man-to-man defense, Rondo called Howard to pick and roll. Howard lifted up to block Westbrook firmly and then went down to attack the basket. Rondo also moved towards the inside with the help of the pick and roll.

At this time, Deckard was facing the attack of the two, and he chose to continue to shrink inside. In this case, although Howard had no chance to catch the ball, Rondo had a great chance to shoot!
Rondo didn't hesitate, pulling it up was a middle distance!

But because he just played, Rondo didn't feel good. The ball hit the basket and bounced in the air.

Deckard quickly got stuck in position to compete for the rebound, and Howard also lowered his center of gravity, competing with Deckard for the rebound position.

But Deckard's foot strength is very stable, and Howard didn't take advantage of any position grabbing!
Seeing that the ball was about to fall into Deckard's hands, Howard gritted his teeth, lowered his body and jumped up, using his right hand to forcefully point the basketball outward.

The basketball flew out of the three-point line, and Westbrook jumped up to block the basketball with one hand and then began to advance towards the frontcourt.

Seeing this, Johnson accelerated with all his strength, fought back to defend, and stuck firmly in front of Westbrook.

Westbrook saw that he had no chance, so he no longer chose to fast break, his speed dropped, and he fell on the three-point line.

At this time, Lin Fei's defensive players had just returned to the backcourt, and Westbrook suddenly accelerated, went straight to the basket, and faced Howard head-on!

Facing the tall and long-armed Howard, Westbrook didn't show any fear, and took the ball and jumped hard!

At this time, Howard had just settled down and hadn't turned around. When he reacted, Howard quickly took off, but the takeoff was too hasty, and coupled with the wrong order of force, Howard's takeoff height was not high.

Westbrook held the ball with one hand, and put the other hand under his body and pressed Howard's shoulder.

With this strength, Westbrook grabbed the basketball and dunked it into the basket hard.

boom! ! ! ! !
The sound from the basket was crisp and loud, like gunshots, echoing in the arena for a long time.

That's right, Westbrook dunked Howard! ! !
This buckle was so explosive that everyone present stood up one after another!
Lin Fei also put his hands behind his head, watching this scene in disbelief

At this time, Westbrook on the court was roaring hysterically, venting his inner anger!

As for Howard, who was detained, he was lying on the ground at this time, as if he had been detained stupidly, and he hadn't recovered for a long time.
