NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

The two live treasures enlivened the atmosphere with one mouthful, and the heat of the match also increased, and the enthusiasm of the audience was also ignited by the bet between the two.

As a fan of the Raptors, of course the Raptors want O'Neal to lose at home!

"O'Neal, call Dad!"

"O'Neal, call Dad!"

"O'Neal, call Dad!"

The fans at the scene chanted slogans spontaneously, and the sound of mountains and tsunami gave the scene a bit of the home atmosphere of the playoffs.

Hearing the shouts of the fans, Barkley laughed and patted O'Neal on the shoulder: "Hahaha, fat man, no one here wants you to win!"

O'Neill smiled indifferently, stood up, raised his hands and shouted to the fans behind: "Barkley, kiss the ass of the donkey!"

"Barkley, kiss the ass!"

O'Neal yelled and made faces at the Raptors fans. The funny expression was captured by the camera and displayed on the big screen at home, making Lin Fei who was sitting in the box laugh out loud.

These two live treasures are really interesting. With the gags of the two of them, the boring waiting time became more cheerful, and the time came to 8 o'clock unconsciously.

The game officially begins!
Starting players from both sides enter the field!

The Raptors sent: Siakam, Van Jordan, Boucher, Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby.

The Lakers sent a big lineup: James, Howard, Thick Eyebrows, Dyke, Gary Clark!

"Oh oh, it seems that the Lakers have put up a big lineup, and neither Brogdon nor Hield started!"

"It's not the starter, can these two score 30 points together? O'Neill, it looks like you're going to lose~"

Barkley laughed when he saw the Lakers' starting lineup, and teased O'Neal on the side.

O'Neal rolled his eyes: "The game is not over yet, what's the rush? The two of them will definitely score 30 points! I believe in them!"

Barkley shrugged, and instead of teasing O'Neal, he brought the topic to the game.

On the court, Howard and Boucher stood on the halfway line ready to jump the ball.

The referee blows his whistle and throws the ball high in the air.

Howard jumped high, relying on his height advantage, one step ahead of Boucher, and dialed the ball into James' hands.

"Okay, Howard won the jump ball and won the first offensive opportunity for the Lakers. James holds the ball. Let's see how the Lakers will play the first offense!"

on the playing field.

Seeing the Lakers get the ball, Vogel rushed to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Hey, guys, find the wrong position and attack their small players!"

James understood, and Vogel made it very clear that he was attacking Van Jordan!

At this time, the Raptors adopted a man-to-man defensive strategy, and Van Jordan was guarding the slightly thinner Gary Clark.

Gary Clark's offensive ability with the ball is insufficient, and he doesn't have much confidence in facing Van Jordan. James knows this!

James did not choose to hand the ball to Gary Clark to single Van Jordan, but let Gary Clark go up the pick-and-roll. James wanted to block his defender, causing the Raptors to switch defenses. Van Jordan.

But things didn't go according to James' idea. The Raptors chose a strong delay when encountering a pick-and-roll and didn't switch defenses. This was obviously out of fear of James' singles against Van Jordan!
But in this case, Gary Clark has a big open shot opportunity!

When the opportunity presented itself, James hit the ground and passed the ball, and Gary Clark caught the ball and shot!
Gary Clark's three-point ability is very strong, and this wide-open three-point opportunity is even more grasped. The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air and is heading into the Nets!
The Lakers went first and scored 3 points!
He played beautifully, Vogel nodded, he was very satisfied with the handling of the ball, and shouted from the sidelines: "Nice job! Nice job! Just play like this!"

"Give me a 2-3 zone defense on the defensive end and try to interfere with their three-pointers!"

Hearing Vogel's instructions, the Lakers players quickly put on a 2-3 defensive formation.

It is difficult for a 2-3 zone defense to interfere with three-point shots. Vogel made it clear that he wanted to try the Raptors' three-point ability!

Van Jordan of the Raptors organized the ball and saw the Lakers' 2-3 defensive formation. He was a little stunned, and stretched his right hand to the air to make a 2 gesture.

The Raptors players understood, Boucher quickly moved towards the free throw line, og Anunobi fell on the bottom line, and the rest fell beyond the three-point line.

Seeing that Boucher was about to run to the free throw line, Vogel quickly yelled: "Howard, don't let him stand comfortably on the free throw line!!"

The free throw line is the golden position to crack the 2-3 zone defense. If the center player comfortably receives the ball at the free throw line, it is not far from cracking the 2-3 zone defense.

Howard also knew this, and quickly lifted it up, leaning tightly behind Boucher, exerting pressure on Boucher intentionally or unconsciously with both hands.

Boucher's power is not as strong as Howard's. With Howard's interference, he couldn't catch the ball at the free throw line.

Seeing this, Van Jordan didn't pass the ball to the free throw line, but directly passed it to the left at a 0-degree angle.

Siakam standing at a 0-degree angle on the left received the ball and aimed at the basket. James hurried over to help defend, and Siakam hit the ground and passed to Anunoby on the baseline!

Anunobi faces the basket directly with the ball, this is an open opportunity!
The Lakers' defensive lineup quickly rotated, and Howard at the free throw line sank directly to defend Anunoby!

And the thick-browed brother on the bottom line on the right was stunned for a moment, and he didn't have the first time to make up for Boucher at the free throw line!
This caused Boucher to be completely emptied at this time, and Anunobi quickly passed the ball to Boucher at the free throw line.

Boucher caught the ball and made a mid-range jumper, making a solid 2-pointer.

Howard frowned slightly when he saw that Nongmei didn't go to defend, and just about to speak, Brother Nongmei quickly stretched out his hand to signal: "My, guys, my reason, I'm sorry!"

Howard nodded: "It's okay, call back!"

After finishing speaking, Howard stretched out his hand and slapped his thick eyebrows before going to serve the bottom line.

James on the side witnessed this scene and heaved a sigh of relief. Brother Nongmei had quarreled with Howard before, and James was afraid that Howard would irritate Nongmei just now.

But judging from the scene just now, Howard and Brother Nongmei have completely reconciled!

A good locker room atmosphere is indispensable for a championship team!

Now that Howard and Nongmei have reconciled, James is relieved.

Subsequently, James received the baseline ball from Howard and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

The game continues!
