Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 16 Debut
Without any surprises, the Hornets had a 16-point advantage over the Jazz at home.

In the locker room, everyone was on guard, looking at Field with burning eyes.

Yes, everyone is waiting for him to announce the starting lineup.

In fact, after this period of training, everyone knows the strength of the players in each position.

Several second-year players are obviously better in terms of strength and experience.

For example, Shamond Williams at the point guard, and Vladimir and Gerani at the center position.

The real suspense is actually the position of small forward, Wang Hao and Ruben Patterson, who will be the starter.

Although Wang Hao's offensive ability is stronger, but when he is distracted from offense, his contribution to defense cannot compare to Ruben Patterson.

Especially in the previous training game, Ruben Patterson fully demonstrated his strength in assisting defense and supplementary defense.

Field knew that everyone was watching him, and he didn't go around, but announced the lineup very simply.

"Today's starting lineup looks like this, point guard Shamond Williams, shooting guard ... Ruben Patterson."

Hearing this, several people were stunned, such as Rashad Lewis, such as Gerani McCoy.

Although they also know that Ruben Patterson has the strength to serve as a starter, but who makes them have a better relationship with Wang Hao.

Wang Hao also had an accident, but he didn't show it in the slightest, instead he looked very calm.

Of course, it's not that he admits cowardice, but that he understands that it's useless to say anything at this time, he can only accept it.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the formation of troops, it is not acceptable to question the coach, this is the rule.

"Small forward... Wang Hao!"

Hearing this, not only Wang Hao, but also everyone else was taken aback, completely unaware of this result.

All eyes shifted from Field to Brent Barry involuntarily.

As the biggest player in the team, but unable to start the game, everyone wants to know what he thinks.

Brent Barry said indifferently: "Don't all look at me, this is my decision with Field.

The players who entered the league with me are all enjoying their holidays now, shouldn't you still let me play?
If possible, I just want to sit quietly on the bench and continue my vacation. "

Indeed, with Brent Barry's performance, he has long been recognized by the league, and there is no need to find opportunities in the summer league.

The reason why he appeared in the summer league was purely to adapt to the team's tactics and play, and to get back to his form, after all, he was injured last year.

As for summer league, it doesn't matter at all.

For NBA teams, the outcome of the summer league really doesn't matter, finding the right players for the team is the number one priority.

Of course, this is only for the team. For this group of rookies who have just stepped into the league, everything is very important.

Even if it's just an honor that doesn't have much gold content, it's still a champion, isn't it?

The starting power forward and center fell to Lewis and Gerani without any accidents.

Needless to say, Lewis, it is normal for the potential rookies of the Sonics to receive key training.

As for Gerani, he came to a more active position in the competition with Vladimir.

Vladimir is taller and stronger, but the common faults of being a white player are also obvious.

On the other hand, Gerani, although slightly shorter in stature, has a stronger confrontation and a higher enthusiasm for rushing.

On the court, the warm-up before the game has ended, and in the other half, the Lakers are in full swing.

That's right, the opponent of the Sonics today is the Lakers.

There are no particularly outstanding rookies in the Lakers team. A first-rounder, Devin George, is relatively well-known, and has won three championships with the Lakers.

Then came the No. 30 pick in the second round, John Celestand, a tall point guard.

No, you're a last-minute show, how dare you despise others?
In fact, Wang Hao didn't want to, but the problem was that he had never heard of these people's names, so he really couldn't think highly of them.

Of course, in the Lakers camp, there is actually an old acquaintance, or a very familiar one.

A small point guard with dreadlocks is exactly Tyronn Lue who will integrate thousands of tactics into one move in the future, under Lu's guidance.

Guidance Lu: Don’t know how to play?Let me call you, give the ball to James, and get out of the way, okay?

In addition, there are several second-year picks, as well as some free tools recruited from the free market.

Like the Sonics, head coach Phil Jackson did not show up, and it was the assistant coach who presided over the overall situation.

Obviously, the Lakers don't care about discovering newcomers, because they already have the strongest newcomers in the lineup.

The combination of O'Neal and Kobe is enough to ensure that the Lakers will have a strong combat effectiveness in the next few years.

"Di!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is point guard Tyronn Lue, shooting guard Sam Jacobson, small forward Devin George, power forward John Green, and center Tyrese Knight.

Except for Tylen Lue, this lineup is not worth seeing at all.

Sure enough, on the opening jump ball, Gerani took the lead and grabbed the first attack for the Sonics.

Although Tyris Knight, who is facing Gerani, is taller, but as a white center, his explosive power is too slow.

Not to mention him, even Yao Ming's jump ball is actually at a [-]-[-] level with his opponent.

Although the summer league is mainly based on the individual performance of the players, this does not mean that there are unlimited singles, and tactics are still required.

No, Shamond began to direct his teammates to move, and Wang Hao also appeared on the bottom line immediately.

Sure enough, I saw Shamond waved his hand, signaling to pull away, and he will execute the tactic this time.

Sure enough, in terms of tactical choices, the point guard has a lot of say, and Shamond can be regarded as using power for personal gain.

However, there is nothing wrong with doing this, after all, the one standing in front of him is clearly the small Tyronn Lue.

With his height of 185 centimeters and weight of 91 kilograms, this advantage is simply not too great.

Shamond dribbled the ball with his back, leaned on Tyronn Lue and pushed in, and easily entered the three-point line, close to the three-second zone.

Seeing that the two Lakers insiders who were driven away were eager to make up the defense, Shamond did not delay, first squeezed hard, and then wiped it directly to the basket.

Who would have imagined that when he squeezed hard, Tai Lunlu, who should have been easily pushed away by him, resisted this time.

Not only that, he failed to squeeze people away, but instead caused a flaw in Shamond's ball protection. Tyronn Lue reached out and poked the ball, and the ball disappeared immediately.

Sam Jacobson took control of the ball, and without a moment's delay, went straight to the fast break, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
