Chapter 81

Time passed and the Lakers were in trouble.

Their team didn't make a lot of three-pointers, and the opponent shot hard.

Stauskas, who came off the bench alone, scored four three-pointers and scored a full 20 points in three quarters.

Letting a substitute score 20 points is disastrous.

Wharton never sent Lin Feng, and even let the injured Lonzo Ball play for 15 minutes.

Ball is still recovering, and Wharton is worried that his love will be away from the game for too long and will become rusty. After Rondo is off the court, Ball will organize the offense for most of the time.

In fact, Brother Ball couldn't lead the Lakers to make progress, at least this game didn't show it.

The team's 27-of-3 three-pointers are simply unwatchable.

Lin Feng off the court felt speechless, why couldn't he trust himself when Brother Qiu was in a downturn?Do you have to wait until garbage time to have a chance?

Mikhailuk and Wagner also didn't get the chance to play. At first Wagner could shout hard, but now he is sitting quietly on the bench like a good boy.

Lillard tore the Lakers inside again and again, and the Portland fans were silent in the joy of victory.

Seeing that the score was pulled to 15 points, the last quarter was about to become garbage time.

James was targeted by Stotts. Kuzma made 7 of 1 three-pointers. Only Josh Hart felt good. He scored 14 points and 4 rebounds, and made [-] of [-] three-pointers.

Hart alone is definitely not enough to help the team beat the Trail Blazers. They are one of the strong teams in the Western Conference and they frequent the playoffs all the year round.

Head coach Stotts has coached in this arena for many years. He understands the characteristics of each player and knows the team leader Lillard well.

After three quarters, James got a double-double report card of 22+10. His first show was not bad, and he contributed several wonderful dunks.

However, the Blazers' players are more integrated, with double guns scoring 20 points, big center Nurkic quasi-double-double, and substitute Raider Stauskas scoring 20 points.

More blooms made Lao Zhan unable to do what he wanted.

All signs are moving in the direction of the Blazers taking their first win. The Lakers are in disarray, morale is low, and no one on the bench is willing to stand up and shout.

Wharton had a serious face. If there was no one around, he would throw the tactical board to the ground and curse Xuete!
At the end of the third quarter, there is still a tough fourth quarter left. The Lakers trailed by 18 points. Everyone believed that Lillard's team would win a big victory.

Garbage time?

Lin Feng thought that his time to play was getting closer and closer. He had already had enough of his opponent standing in front of him and showing off his might!
The big man Nurkic roared towards the Lakers bench after dunking. Lillard told all the fans who supported the Lakers with breakthrough layups again and again, this is Portland, this is the city of tearing, this is his territory.

"Guys, the game is not over yet, we have a chance to win this game, let's fight!"

During the break, Rondo is still encouraging everyone, he is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat.

James has a serious face. He has played for 35 minutes and is exhausted.

The opposing Aminu completely gave up the offense and defended Lao Zhan closely. Although the effect was not very good, it took a lot of effort every time Lao Zhan broke through.

The Blazers were relaxed, and they found the secret to defeating the Lakers.

Stotts told Aminu that as long as LeBron doesn't get up to speed, his deterrence will be greatly reduced.

The DJ on the field shouted the names of every player of the home team, and the local fans cheered.

They are about to beat the much-anticipated Los Angeles!

The editors of Sports Times who are thousands of miles away have already prepared a losing draft. They don't care about winning or losing, they only care about whether their news is explosive enough.

Walton is still laying out plays, which is his responsibility as a head coach.Walton intends to make a gamble after the opening of the fourth quarter. If he cannot reduce the score to less than 4 points within 10 minutes, he intends to surrender and reserve his strength for the next game.

Hart feels hot, and he will continue to stay on the court.Stephenson plays the third position, and James will get a 2-minute rest time, after which he will re-enter the court to make a final effort.

Rondo has already committed five fouls, but he needs a leader on the field. He has no choice but to pray that Rondo will not be sent off before James returns.

Before going on the court, Stephenson bumped Lin Feng lightly and whispered, "We will win, buddy."

Finsen is eager to win, which reminds Lin Feng of the news that Finsen went home and cried bitterly after the Lakers missed the playoffs in the last life.

This guy is a soft-hearted guy who plays casually, which is both medicine and poison.

Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder and said cheers.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Finsen was really brave. He scored 6 points in a row and narrowed the gap to 14 points.

But the Blazers coach understood Walton's intentions. He yelled at his team leader, "Don't let them lead the rhythm! Slow down! Slow down! We need to play slow!"

Once it slows down, the Lakers will make more mistakes, and the wind will gradually return to the Blazers.

Lillard controls the tempo, spending 20 seconds on almost every play.

The most deadly thing is that they are extremely efficient and can score every time.

Although Finsen and Hart are in a brave state, the scoring momentum there has not stopped.

The gap crept back to 18 points and widened to 8 points with 20 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

With Rondo's six fouls leaving, Walton believes that there is no need for James to return.

They scored 32 points in the most quarter, and now the point difference has reached 20 points, basically entering garbage time.

James stood next to Walton with a stern expression. His team lost to Portland, and tonight's night will be unusually long.

Stotts understood that this was a timeout for disarming and surrendering, and sat on the sidelines with a relaxed expression.

The two sides will change into the third team tacitly, use up the last garbage time, and then go back to the locker room to take a shower.

During the difficult 8 minutes, the fans of the home team in the Moda Center Arena have already entered the state of celebration ahead of schedule.

Disappointed Lakers fans in yellow jerseys left the field, and they didn't want to stay here to hear the cheers of the Portlanders.

"Gary, I want you to go out there, run the offense, and that's it."

Wharton didn't say much, and the meaning was self-evident.

Finally, Lin Feng was called.

He stood up abruptly, startling Wagner beside him.

Lin Feng's heartbeat instantly exceeded a hundred, and he ran towards the head coach Wharton in three steps and two steps in parallel.

It was only seven or eight meters from the end of the bench to Walton's side, and Lin Feng felt like a century had passed.

He is going to be on the top basketball stage in the world, competing with the best basketball players.

Even with 8 minutes of garbage time, the time displayed on the Raymond Lam eye timer was 489 seconds.

Turn the tide?This is too far-fetched, that's a difference of twenty points.

The last 8 minutes, of which 4 minutes belong to Portland, they will try to exhaust every offensive time.

The time left for the Lakers and Lin Feng is only 4 minutes, 240 seconds to recover 20 points?
It takes 12 seconds to recover one point, which is an impossible task.What's more, every point the Blazers score means that the Lakers will double their pursuit.

But the surging blood in Lin Feng's body told him that the Lakers can create miracles tonight!
They're taking a win back to Staples Center!
"coach."

Standing beside Wharton, waiting for the order.

"Do what you are good at." Wharton patted him on the shoulder.

Once in the summer league, Coach Bichler said the same thing.

In Sacramento, Lin Feng did what he does best, which is to take away the victory.
