NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Facing the Magic today, the Lakers as a whole are very relaxed. During the warm-up period, you can also see the Lakers players talking and laughing, obviously looking relaxed.

And the Magic team is also very easy to get players on and off. As a bad team, their players only need to worry about their own statistics, and they don't need to care about the team's record at all.

On the contrary, at this stage, the more rubbish the team's record, the better. In this case, the probability of competing for the No. [-] pick will be higher!
Therefore, in today's game, players from both sides played very easily.

Soon, the game began, and players from both sides entered the field.

The Magic sent Bamba, Fultz, Okoke, Suggs and Wagner.

The Lakers sent James, Thick Eyebrow, Boucher, Covington and Powell.

Judging from the starting lineups of the two sides, this game is destined to be a one-sided game, and the gap in strength is too great!

And the fact is exactly the same. As soon as the game started, the Lakers, led by James and Big Eyebrows, began to bombard the Magic's defense indiscriminately!
The Magic's defense is poor, and the players' defensive enthusiasm is not high, especially the perimeter defenders.

The reason is very simple, that is, whether the defense is good or not is actually based on the data, which is not obvious.

Especially for a bad team, everyone knows that the players on a bad team are collecting stats, so no one cares that the players on a bad team don't defend.

Therefore, the Magic players pay more attention to offense!

In this style, the rhythm of the game is very fast!

And under such a fast pace, the Lakers were a little stunned!

The Magic's frequent fast breaks and counterattacks made the Lakers, who are good at positional warfare, very uncomfortable. After the first quarter, the Lakers only led by 3 points!
It stands to reason that under the leadership of James and Big Eyebrows in the first quarter, the Lakers should destroy them and go directly to get them.

But now, with only a 3-point lead, this made Lakers coach Vogel very dissatisfied. During the break, Vogel made a simple arrangement, mainly focusing on how to play the offense well.

After taking the initiative to make adjustments, the Lakers immediately became different at the beginning of the second quarter, and the expressions of the players became a little more serious.

At the same time, the defensive strength of the Lakers has also increased!
Immediately, there was a big problem with the Magic's offense, and the fast break and counterattack were all defended by the Lakers!
The pace of the game has gradually slowed down!

The rhythm of the game gradually shifted to the Lakers side, positional battle!
Finally reached the most comfortable rhythm for the Lakers, the next game will be very simple!

Boiling the frogs in warm water, the Lakers began to destroy the Magic's defense by using the restraining power of James and thick eyebrows.

Soon, the score was quickly opened to 20 points by the Lakers!
The speed of opening up the point difference is extremely fast. You must know that the second quarter is not even over now.

This kind of scoring explosive power is really amazing!
Soon it was time for halftime, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

On the side of the Magic team, the head coach didn't bother to make detailed arrangements. He just briefly talked about the offensive and defensive strategies and then waved his hand to signal the Magic team players to rest.

The same is true for the Lakers. The head coach Vogel just briefly talked about lineup adjustments, pulling off all James and Big Eyebrows, and replacing them with the team's substitute players.

In the end, one was formed: a bench lineup of Brogdon, Rivers, Johnson, Dyke and Cousins.

And this kind of lineup, from the perspective of strength on paper, is not inferior to the Magic's starting lineup. If you count the chemical reaction and real on-site performance, the Lakers' lineup may be even better than the Magic's. The lineup is stronger!

But even so, Vogel was able to pull out such a lineup in the third quarter, which can be regarded as very courageous.

Soon, the third quarter began, and players from both sides entered the field.

The Magic are still using the core team of the starting lineup at this time. Obviously, they have not given up on the game, and they still want to struggle again.

But this lineup of the Lakers stunned the fans on the scene, including Lin Fei. No one could have imagined that the Lakers would use this lineup, and it was still in the third quarter!
Although you lead by 20 points, there are still 2 quarters left before the end of the game!

This is not garbage time!

"Fuck, you're too much of a bully!"

The head coach of the Magic team cursed secretly. He was very displeased with Vogel's move. In his opinion, this is simply contempt for himself!
"Give me a hard hit on them!"

The head coach of the Magic ran to the sidelines and shouted at the players on the court.

The Magic point guard heard what the head coach said, and then nodded gratefully, expressing his understanding.

At this moment, although the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started!
Regarding the possession of the Magic, Fultz quickly analyzed the characteristics of the Lakers' lineup, and then quickly analyzed that the weakest part of the Lakers' lineup is the inside.

So, he quickly gestured to his teammate Bamba, indicating that Bamba was ready to receive the ball at the free throw line.

Bamba nodded slightly, quickly moved to a position near the free throw line, then received a pass from Fultz, and faced Cousins ​​head-on.

Cousins' defense is relatively poor, but the tonnage is still there. It is more difficult for Bamba to force Cousins.

But unfortunately, what Bamba is best at is to use his super long wingspan to force the center forward, so, this ball, Bamba really went to attack!

Brutely facing Cousins, he took a step inside, and then confronted again. After a little space, Bamba decisively pulled the green onion, jumped high, and used his wingspan to lift the ball high. Throw it in the basket.

Fist is afraid of being young, and although Cousins ​​has ample tonnage, he was indeed knocked out of space by Bamba in the confrontation just now.

But Bamba jumped up and wanted to dunk through Cousins, but he really didn't take Cousins ​​seriously!

Cousins ​​jumped up and confronted Bamba in the air!

In this confrontation, Bamba was hit hard, and the ball in his hand was also dropped.

Fortunately, the referee's whistle also sounded, and Bamba scored two free throws!
Slightly rubbing his aching chest with his hands, Bamba looked at Cousins ​​in front of him, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice:

"Hey, you can't stop me if you don't foul, next time I will punch you in the face!"

Facing the unsalty taunting of the young man Bamba in front of him, Cousins ​​didn't care at all, just smiled slightly, and walked to the side without saying a word.

But Bamba was even more angry when he saw Cousins' appearance, and continued to taunt: "Old guy, don't you dare to talk anymore? Are you afraid of getting a technical foul and can't pay the fine?" ?”

Listening to Bamba's taunt, Cousins ​​grinned: "Hahaha, interesting, interesting."

After several years in the vertical and horizontal alliance, Cousins' fiery temper has been smoothed out. Now facing Bamba's ridicule, his inside line has no fluctuations, and he even wants to laugh a little bit.

Because this trash talk is so low-level that it can't do any harm at all.

But the counterattack must be counterattacked, otherwise it will be easy to be pinched as a soft persimmon!
