NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

On the field, in the Nuggets' offensive round, Jokic once again got the ball in the low post.

With his back against Johnson, he chiseled in easily, turned around, resisted, and put the basket easily.

With a set of smooth and detailed movements, Jokic easily scored another two points.

With a 4-0 start, the enthusiasm of the home fans was ignited, and some fans had already stood up and started shouting for Jokic.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Jokic, go! Go!"

The loud shouts from the fans also reached Lin Fei who was sitting in the box. Lin Fei was very puzzled and frowned.

Everyone can see that Johnson, who is thin, can't match Jokic in the low post. Jokic played too easily!

How could Vogel, the head coach of the Lakers, fail to see it?But why hasn't he adjusted?

Lin Fei couldn't figure it out!

Looking back on the court, the Lakers' offensive round!
At this time, the Nuggets are still defending a 2-3 defensive lineup!
Westbrook held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. After thinking for a while, Westbrook made a tactical gesture to signal the Lakers players to pull away.

The Lakers players quickly settled down and put on a 5-out lineup, making it clear that they wanted to play three-pointers!

Seeing this scene on the court, Lin Fei in the box frowned slightly. Now the Lakers players on the court are not good at three-pointers, and they have already missed two shots. I didn't expect Westbrook to choose to shoot three-pointers!

In Lin Fei's opinion, this choice is not very wise!
And the fact is just as Lin Fei thought, after a simple pass of the ball, the Lakers got a three-point open opportunity as they wished, but the feel was still not good, and the ball finally missed.

The rebound was accepted by Jokic, and Jokic directly pushed the ball forward.

While retreating, Westbrook saw that Jokic was advancing with the ball, and immediately wanted to press forward.

With a step back, Westbrook rushed forward with a stride, and took the ball in Jokic's hand with his right hand.

I have to say that Westbrook's action is a complete gambling steal!
However, Westbrook started very quickly, and Westbrook is still very sure of this ball!

But when Westbrook was about to get the ball, Jokic suddenly dribbled behind his back!
Don't look at Jokic's wide body and fat body, and his moving speed is not fast, but his basic skills are extremely solid, and this back dribble is fast and agile!
Westbrook was passed by Jokic directly!

After that, Jokic stepped one step beyond the three-point line, took advantage of the defender's unsteady footing, raised his hand for a three-pointer, and hit the net hollowly! !
The ball was so delicate that the fans stood up and shouted loudly, and Denver suddenly fell into a carnival at home.

"Oh oh oh, it's crazy, damn it, was this goal really made by a center forward? Damn it!"

Barkley, who was sitting in front of the technical stage, couldn't sit still, he raised his hands and shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, Jokic is worthy of being an MVP-level player. He scored 3 goals in a row in the opening game and helped the team establish a 7-point advantage!"

O'Neill grinned, not stingy with his praise.

"Yes, yes, it's too delicate. This kind of center forward is much better than the black big fat guy who can only overwhelm the river inside. Don't you think so, O'Neill?"

Barkley changed the subject and made fun of O'Neill.

O'Neill was not angry, and responded to Barkley: "Oh? Really? Isn't that better than some little flying pigs who can only hit people with big butts?"

Just as Barkley was about to refute, a whistle sounded on the court, and Barkley turned his gaze to the court.

It turned out that Vogel called a timeout!
Johnson pursed his lips and returned to the bench dejectedly.

Vogel saw Johnson's frustration and took the initiative to pat Johnson on the shoulder.

"Hey man, it's normal for you to be wrong, you've done a great job!"

After briefly comforting Johnson, Vogel sat on the seat and began to talk about specific plans.

"Next, Westbrook and Johnson will go off the court, Deckard and Gary Clark will come on, James, you will hold the ball later."

"If they still defend the 2-3 zone defense, don't be soft, and shoot me a three-pointer hard!"

"If they are watching, James, be sure to call a pick-and-roll, call me Jokic, beat him hard, and consume his energy!"

"As for the defensive stage, continue to implement the previous defensive strategy, cut off the connection between Jokic and his teammates, that is, let him play singles! Dyke, you will defend him!!"

After finishing the arrangement, Vogel breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why Johnson was asked to defend Jokic before was to confuse the head coach of the Nuggets. As long as he let Jokic perform singles, Vogel's goal has been achieved!
At the same time, the head coach of the Nuggets on the other side of the game is making plans.

"Guys, you played well and did a good job! We will have the same players on the court in a while!"

"After playing, when we defend, we should first defend a zone defense and see how their three-pointers feel. If the three-pointers feel unsatisfactory, stick to the zone defense. If the feel is smooth, switch to man-to-man!"

"As for the offense, guys, Jokic had a great touch tonight, try to give the ball to Jokic!"

"Jokic, play more in the low post, give me a hard gouging of their inside line, continue to widen the point difference, do nothing, and directly destroy their confidence."

The fact is just as Vogel thought, the head coach of the Nuggets really took the bait and chose to let Jokic play singles with the ball.

The next step is to see how much Vogel's arrangement can consume Jokic.

After a short while, the pause time is up!

James gathered the players together and chanted the Lakers slogan.

"Go, Lakers!"

"Go, Lakers!"

After the slogan was shouted, players from both sides entered the field, and the Lakers bench slapped their hands to express their encouragement to the players on the field.

At this time, Westbrook, who was sitting on the Lakers bench, curled his lips, took a sip of the energy drink in his hand helplessly, and looked at the Lakers players on the field with envy in his eyes.

Vogel frowned, watching the game intently, completely oblivious to the loneliness in Westbrook's eyes.
