NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

As soon as the second half started, Vogel sent Cousins ​​and Bembry to the court, playing with Brogdon, Hield and Dyke.

In the third quarter, the Kings continued to choose the starting lineup, wanting to take this opportunity to regain some points.

As the new aid of the Lakers, Cousins ​​and Bembry naturally received cheers from many Lakers home fans when they played for the first time.

The long-lost cheers made Cousins ​​and Bembry feel very warm, and the tension in their hearts was less.

In this way, the lineups of both sides entered the field, and with the referee's whistle, the game continued.

The Lakers had the ball, and Cousins ​​sent the baseline ball to Brogdon.

Brogdon held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Fox's defense, Brogdon did not choose to use his physical advantage to force him. Instead, he gave Cousins ​​a wink and signaled Cousins ​​to play inside.

After all, Cousins ​​is playing for the first time as a new aid, and Brogdon of course wants to give his new teammates some opportunities to perform.

Seeing Brogdon's signal, Cousins ​​nodded slightly and quickly moved to the free throw line.

After receiving a pass from Brogdon, Cousins ​​faced Sabonis with his back.

As an insider with a height of 211cm, Sabonis is not very heavy, only 108kg, and his strength is not very strong. Although Cousins ​​is only 208cm, he has a full weight of 122kg!
Cousins ​​has a great strength advantage. Obviously, Cousins ​​realized this, and carried the little Sabonis in with the ball.

In this way, after Cousins ​​got to the inside, he used his strength again and confronted Sabonis Jr., created space and made an easy layup!

This is Cousins' first goal when he came to the Lakers. Cousins ​​played very tough. The Lakers' home fans and teammates on the bench were very respectful. They all stood up and cheered for Cousins.

Listening to the cheers from the home fans and his teammates, Cousins ​​smiled from the bottom of his heart, touched the Lakers jersey on his body, and took a deep breath.

Coincidentally, the Kings on the opposite side are Cousins' old club. Cousins ​​was even called "the league's No. [-] center" by fans for a while in the Kings!
But now, Cousins ​​has only signed a two-way contract with the Lakers. From the favorite of heaven to the current homeless player in the league, such a gap is not insignificant.

Thinking of this, Cousins ​​couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

At this moment, Bembry, who was back on defense, patted Cousins ​​on the shoulder: "Dude, this is our first game, come back to defense faster!"

Bembry's words brought Cousins ​​back from his thoughts, and after nodding heavily at Bembry, Cousins ​​took a deep breath.

Let me start over with the Lakers!

After figuring it out, Cousins ​​quickly stepped back to the defense.

After Cousins ​​returned to his position, the Kings players led by Fox had also settled down.

Fox held the ball to the top of the arc, his eyes scanned the audience, and he was thinking about what tactics to use in this round.

When he saw Cousins ​​staying in the Lakers penalty area, Fox made a decision.

He raised his hand and asked Sabonis Jr. to come to the pick-and-roll. After seeing Fox's gesture, Sabonis Jr. immediately set off to pick-and-roll.

The quality of Sabonis Jr.'s pick-and-roll is good, and he firmly blocked Brogdon in front of Fox. Fox quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and went inside to kill.

And because Sabonis Jr. has shooting ability, Cousins ​​had no choice but to follow Sabonis Jr. at this time. Brogdon was tightly blocked by Sabonis Jr. at this time, and had no time to take care of Fox who was attacking the inside.

Helpless, Cousins ​​​​had no choice but to face the impact of Fox.

When he saw Cousins ​​facing Fox, Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sidelines, secretly said bad!
Cousins ​​was already weak defensively, and his defensive pace was slow. Although he came to the Lakers and had the addition of Lin Fei's junior defensive card, it was slightly relieved, but facing a defender known for his speed like Fox If it is, there is a high probability that it will be passed in one step!
In Lin Fei's opinion, the probability that Cousins ​​can successfully defend Fox with this ball is very small!
Sure enough, as Lin Fei expected, when Fox saw that the defender in front of him was Cousins, he kicked the ground decisively and accelerated, swishing past Cousins.

Fox's speed is also ranked first in the league. The defensive footsteps were slow and Cousins ​​didn't react at once. When Cousins ​​recovered, Fox was only one step away from the basket!
Seeing this, Cousins ​​quickly turned around and took a step after him.

At this time, just as Fox took off for a layup, Cousins ​​hurriedly took off to block the shot.

Fox caught sight of Cousins ​​who was jumping from behind him from the corner of his eye, pulled his belly in quickly, successfully evaded Cousins' chasing block, and made a layup!
This ball can be said to have completely exposed Cousins' weaknesses.

Cousins' footsteps are extremely slow, and if Cousins ​​is asked to defend against the small, it is almost a gift!

However, Cousins' advantages are also obvious. He has a good offensive ability, and he is very good at turning around and dunking with a swaying and bottom step. In addition, he also has a three-point ability with one hand.

On the defensive end, Cousins ​​also has a body weight, which is enough to top a heavyweight center rough guy!
Such a player with distinct advantages and disadvantages can make a difference if he uses it well!
In this way, in the following game time, although Cousins ​​was repeatedly scored by Fox in singles on the defensive end, he also made great achievements on the offensive end, relying on his weight and three-point ability to score repeatedly!
The performance of another new aid of the Lakers, Bembry, is also good. On the offensive end, relying on Brogdon's organizational ability and Cousins' restraint in the interior, Bembry has repeatedly fired shots from the outside and hit three-pointers many times. point.

In this way, with the Lakers' two new aids playing well, after the third quarter, the Lakers' original 20-point lead was not narrowed at all, but expanded to 22 points.

After that, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a huge lead of 22 points. Seeing this, the Kings couldn't make the playoffs anyway, so they simply put it out, removed the starting lineup, and replaced it with substitutes and drinking fountains.

Seeing that the Kings had directly replaced the drinking fountains, Vogel quickly removed the bench lineup and replaced them with players who usually played less.

In this way, the game entered garbage time early.

Garbage time was meaningless, and Lin Fei lost interest in watching the game, so he simply left the field and returned to his office.

Just entering the office, the phone rang suddenly, Lin Fei quickly picked it up, and Jessica's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Lin Fei, I suddenly discovered something serious and I want to report it to you!"
