NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Rondo on the court also saw this scene. After being surprised for a short time, Rondo, who is the "field commander", quickly calmed down.

He saw Howard who was lying on the ground and was still in a daze, and hurried to Howard's side, stretched out his right hand and pulled Howard up.

"Hey bro, get up, the game isn't over yet, let's give them some color!"

After Rondo comforted Howard, Howard finally recovered, and quickly sent the baseline ball to Rondo.

Rondo took the ball and directed his teammates to the frontcourt.

At this time, Lin Fei finally recovered from the shock, and rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Hey, guys, keep the previous strategy!"

Hearing Lin Fei's words, Rondo nodded lightly and then calmly directed his teammates to run.

Seeing Rondo's calm performance, Lin Fei, who was present off the court, nodded secretly in his heart. Rondo is worthy of being the commander of the stadium, and he keeps calm at all times!

And Rondo has a very key feature, that is, he was born for the big scene!

Although he didn't play very well in the first few games at the beginning of the season, you must know that Rondo in the playoffs and Rondo in the regular season are completely two different players!

Lin Fei is also willing to believe that Rondo will definitely have a brilliant performance in the playoffs, which is why Lin Fei decided not to let Rondo go when he took over as the general manager of the Lakers!

Look back to the field!

Howard at this time has been irritated by Westbrook!The clay figurine is still angry, let alone Howard, who is known as the "Warcraft"?
As soon as Howard got to the frontcourt, he got into the inside line, lowered his center of gravity, stuck Deckard firmly behind him, and stretched out his hands to signal Rondo to give the ball.

Dyke understood that Howard wanted to take the basket by force, so he quickly stood his position firmly!
Deckard's foot strength was excellent, and Howard didn't take advantage of it, and was finally stuck near the free throw line by Deckard!

At this time, Rondo also saw Howard asking for the ball, but Rondo did not choose to pass the ball to Howard, but instead signaled Howard to come up with a pick-and-roll!
Because Rondo knows Howard's current level too well, he is no longer the Warcraft who dominated the league before, his physical fitness is not as good as before, and he still lacks low-level footsteps!
If Howard were to face the young and strong Dyke behind his back at the free throw line, the ball would probably be lost!
"Hey Howard, calm down and execute tactics!"

Rondo yelled at Howard on the court.

Howard finally calmed down after hearing Rondo's words, and quickly brought it up, obediently playing pick-and-roll with Rondo.

Rondo dribbled the ball slowly on the three-point line, and everyone's eyes were more or less focused on Rondo.

On the defensive side at this time, Horton Tucker was squatting on the bottom line to defend Johnson.

Johnson has not participated in the offense for several rounds. Horton Tucker lowered his guard and shifted his attention to Rondo who was dribbling.

Johnson also noticed this, he slowly lowered his center of gravity, found the right opportunity, kicked the ground and accelerated to kill the basket!

By the time Horton Tucker regained consciousness, Johnson was already one and a half lengths ahead of Horton Tucker. In addition, Horton Tucker's pace was very slow, so he could only watch Johnson getting closer to the basket .

Horton Tucker hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Deckard, Johnson slipped past!"

Deckard hurriedly turned back to defend, but it was too late. Rondo noticed Johnson who was cutting in early. With a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball comfortably.

Johnson kicked off the ground, grabbed the basketball with both hands and dunked it heavily into the hoop.

Alley dunks, pay back! ! !
Johnson fell to the ground and returned to defense without celebrating!

Lin Fei, who was on the sidelines, nodded approvingly when he saw this scene.

This kind of young player is easy to use, energetic, humble, and active in defense!

It was precisely because of Johnson's timely return to defense that it destroyed the Vogel team's fast break opportunity this time!

After failing to steal the fast break, the Vogel team, which fell into the positional battle, became weak.

After leading the ball a few times, there was no good shot opportunity. Seeing that time was running out, Westbrook had no choice but to choose to give birth to Tulongduo!

Although Rondo is old and his physical fitness and footsteps are not as good as before, his physical talent is still there. Although he can't completely stop Westbrook, it still slows down Westbrook's offensive pace.

Westbrook's speed didn't increase, and he didn't dare to challenge Howard again. In the end, he chose to fight the jumper and hit the iron hastily!
Howard jumped high, firmly received the defensive rebound and handed it to Rondo.

Rondo continued to hold the ball, and every ball went to the inside of Vogel's team!
With their height advantage, Lin Fei scored goals frequently!

On the other hand, the Vogel team is very uncomfortable. Johnson and Gabriel are too active in defending fast breaks. They are all hasty shots, more strikes and fewer goals!

Under the ebb and flow, just after halfway through the second quarter, Lin Fei's team caught up with the score!
Vogel quickly called a timeout and re-sent James to the field to top the center. Monk went up to score, and Westbrook, Dyke and Gary Clark were still on the field.

On the other hand, Lin Fei chose to lift Brother Nongmei up as a center forward for a short while to give Howard a little rest time.

Rondo also played a lot of time, Lin Fei asked Rondo to rest and put Bradley back on the field!

As for Johnson, Gabriel and Anthony, Lin Fei continued to stay on the field.

The pause is over, the game continues!
Lin Fei was slightly surprised when he saw Vogel's lineup.

Originally, Lin Fei thought that Vogel would let James rest until the third quarter, but he didn't expect Vogel to put James on the court now.

"Hey, keep hitting them hard on the inside!"

Lin Fei shouted quickly, pointing to the players on the field.

Bradley signaled, directing other teammates to continue attacking the inside.

The thick eyebrow rested for a long time, and as soon as he came on the court, he used his height to hit several shots in a row!
And James did not show any weakness, using his physical fitness on the offensive end to fight back!
But just after James attacked for several rounds in a row, he already felt his physical fitness began to decline again!

In order to maintain the efficiency of the offensive end, James finally decided to relax on the defensive end!
For several consecutive rounds, James obviously began to reduce his defensive strength on the defensive end!

This also made it easier for Brother Nongmei to score in the paint!
Although James is still scoring and the point difference has been biting to death, Lin Fei knows that if no one helps James to share the pressure on the offensive end, James' physical strength will decline more and more, and then he will be pulled away. When the score is poor!
Thinking of this, Lin Fei quickly instructed the players on the field to continue to attack the inside line, consuming James' energy.

As for Vogel on one side, he saw Lin Fei's intentions early on, but he has been standing still without making any tactical arrangements.

And when Vogel saw that James was getting more and more tired on the defensive end, he gritted his teeth and hurried to the sidelines to gesture to the players on the court.

After receiving Vogel's gesture, the players on the field immediately put on a 2-3 defensive formation!
Although the 2-3 zone defense can effectively limit the inside line, it can hardly have an effective impact on the three-pointer!
This is a risky move!
In order to relieve James' pressure on the defensive end, Vogel chose to let Lin Fei's players shoot three-pointers!
Vogel is betting, he is betting that Lin Fei's three-point shot will not kill anyone!
