NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

"Okay, now the timeout is up, and the game will resume!"

"Let's see what adjustments the two coaches have made?"

"Oh, Vogel chose to replace Westbrook and Johnson, and put Gary Clark and Dyke on the field! And the Nuggets didn't make any substitutions, it's still the previous lineup!"

Barkley and O'Neal analyzed the situation on the field sentence by sentence.

With the whistle of the referee, the Lakers sent the baseline ball.

James took the ball to the frontcourt, and the Nuggets still chose to defend the zone defense!
James dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc, seeing that the two defenders were still one step away from him, he directly chose to make a three-pointer!

With this sudden shot, the Nuggets' defensive players didn't react at all, and could only watch James complete the shot.

James leaned back a little when he threw the ball. The basketball flew through a high arc in the air and fell into the net like a cruise missile!
James scored 3 points to help the Lakers stop the bleeding!

"A very resolute three-pointer! This is the response a leading star should make!"

Barkley, who saw the ball in front of the technical stage, nodded in praise.

"You are right, this ball is very important to the Lakers!"

O'Neill grinned wide, took over the conversation, and nodded in agreement.

Back on the court, the Nuggets sent a bottom line ball, and Monta Morris advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Monk, who defended MontaMorris, was inseparable, constantly interfering with MontaMorris' dribbling.

Monta Morris couldn't find a chance for a while, and he was a little flustered when dribbling. Monk went up to press directly. Monta Morris had no choice but to stop dribbling and wait for his teammates to respond.

Aaron Gordon hurried forward to respond, but Gary Clark clung to him as soon as he got the ball!

Aaron Gordon's offensive ability with the ball was not too strong, and he didn't dare to drop the ball at all. The Nuggets' offense stagnated for a while.

At this time, Aaron Gordon remembered that the head coach said during the timeout that Jokic would lead the offense, so he hurriedly looked for Jokic's position.

Jokic was at the free throw line at this time, and Dyke deliberately let him go half a step according to Vogel's instructions, in order to let the Nuggets hand the ball to Jokic.

As Vogel thought, Aaron Gordon saw that Jokic was not being defended very tightly, and quickly threw a lob pass into Jokic's hands.

After throwing the ball, Aaron Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting the ball, Jokic turned to face the frame and swayed to aim at the basket, trying to use this to point Deck.

But Deckard resolutely refused to jump, raised his hands high, and took a step forward to firmly stick to Jokic's position.

Seeing that Deckard was not spotted, Jokic directly dropped the ball and took a step towards the inside to fight and break through.

But who would have thought that Deckard's lower body was extremely powerful, and Jokic pushed it up, but he didn't move!
Jokic was slightly surprised in his heart, but his feet didn't stop moving, and he turned around quickly!
But Deckard's footsteps moved very fast, and Jokic turned left and right and didn't get rid of Deckard's defense!

But while Jokic turned around, his position was getting closer to the basket step by step!

The basket was close at hand, and Jokic did not turn around. After finding a confrontational rhythm, he directly hooked and put the basket.

Jokic's handwork is one of the best among centers. He is known as the "teacher appointment". Such a close hook and layup is even easier to catch. Jokic, get two more points!
"Good job, Deckard, just do it!"

Although this offense was still scored by Jokic, Vogel on the sidelines was very satisfied with Deckard's defense this time, and praised Deckard repeatedly on the sidelines.

Dyke nodded slightly, and immediately re-entered the offense after sending out the baseline ball.

It is still James holding the ball and advancing!

In the frontcourt, James found that the Nuggets were still defending a 2-3 zone defense, and directly chose to distribute the ball to Monk on the wing.

The Nuggets' defensive player quickly slid up to interfere, and Monk passed back to James without haste.

In this way, the basketball was transmitted several times in the hands of the three Lakers on the line, and the speed of the two defensive players on the Nuggets' line became a bit slower.

But the attack time is about to run out, and the ball is passed to James again at this time, and James dribbles the ball and strides inside.

The Nuggets' online defensive players quickly double-teamed James, and James did not stand up, and passed a pass back to Monk on the wing!

At this time, the Nuggets players had no time to defend, and what was in front of Munch was a wide-open three-point shooting opportunity!
Monk was not soft on his hands, he raised his sword and fell with his hands!
The ball fell steadily into the basket as if in shooting training.

Lakers, get back another 3 points!
At this time the score was 9 to 6, and the Nuggets still had a 3-point lead!

"Oh, beautiful, this is a very patient choice, and finally in front of Monk is a simple shooting opportunity, obviously he seized this opportunity!"

"Yeah, I chose very patiently. This shot was hit too easily. I think if the Nuggets are still defending the zone defense, there will be many more shots like this!"

"I agree with you. It's time for the Nuggets to make adjustments. Now the Lakers lineup has great shooting ability, and the 2-3 zone defense can't prevent three-pointers!"

The two live treasures in front of the technical stage analyzed the changes on the field one by one.

The fact is just as the two analyzed, the head coach of the Nuggets couldn't sit still anymore, and ran to the sidelines and shouted: "Guys, change the defensive strategy!!"

Jokic understood, and made an 'OK' gesture to show that he understood.

Back to the Nuggets' offensive round, Jokic once again asked for the ball in the low post, facing Dyke.

"Hey, fat man, show me your skills, don't just use your fat!"

Deckard resisted Jokic's back slap hard, and at the same time, his mouth was not idle, talking trash to disturb Jokic.

Jokic smiled instead of anger: "Haha, little thin monkey, are you in a hurry? You are right, I just use my body, can you guard against it?"

Jokic slammed Deck with his body while responding, and after grinding into the inside line, he turned and put the basket!

Jokic scored 2 points again!
Going 5-for-5 from the field, Jokic sent Denver into a frenzy at home.

Enjoying the shouts of the home fans, Jokic spat trash at Deckard.

"Hey, boy, look whose home field this is?"

"Are the Lakers crazy? How could they let you, a small character, defend me? Damn it, you're too weak, and I've easily blown you away!"

Deke had a calm mind and didn't care about Jokic's trash talk at all, he just rushed forward with his head sullen.

But James also heard Jokic's trash talk, and as the boss of the Lakers, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

After arriving in the frontcourt, James took the initiative to take the ball!

At this time, the Nuggets' defensive strategy has become man-to-man!

Seeing this, James made a tactical gesture, thick eyebrows quickly came to pick and roll, causing the Nuggets to switch defenses, and the defender in front of James also became Jokic!

"Hey young man, you're good at trash talking, but you're just talking about the wrong people!"

James dribbled the ball, staring at Jokic.

Jokic chuckled: "What's the matter, LeBron, are you trying to get your little brother back?"

"To be honest, he is really weak, but if you want to find a place, then try it, old guy!"

Trash talk is already part of the court. James has heard too much trash talk of Jokic's level, so naturally he didn't take it to heart, but just smiled disdainfully.

"Trash talk is good, I like it."

"But then, let Uncle LeBron teach you how to play."
