Chapter 93 94. Challenge from Space City!

Big McGee patted the ball back, and it fell right into James' hands, and he passed the ball to Ingram behind him amidst cheers.

This is a signal that Lao Zhan will give the ball more to young people.

D'Antoni put Melon on the bench, which means that the "New York Derby" between Lin Feng and Melon is likely to be staged.

Of course, no one except New Yorkers will pay attention to the duel between the two.

Pope caught the ball at the top of the three-point arc and scored a three-pointer. As a result, the basketball hit the basket and came out.

Big Mackey jumped up and shot the ball again. Ingram near the sideline of the frontcourt made a diving save, and the basketball returned to Rondo.

This offensive rebound made the scene boil, and they had a second chance to attack.

Lao Zhan misplaced Paul, pressed down to the low post and reached out for the ball. Then he didn't hit his son's godfather singles. He half-turned and passed to Rondo at 45 degrees. The ball goes to Big McGee near the free throw line.

The big center chose a three-step throw, but unfortunately the basketball bounced out of the frame.

The Lakers' offensive cooperation was not bad when they came up, but they lacked accuracy.Lin Feng off the court can see clearly that this is one of the Lakers' offensive systems created by Walton.

Use James as the firepower attraction point to score in and out, and finally use the inside as the end point.

To be honest, although McGee is diligent, after all, his age is there, and it is almost meaningless as an end point. Although he also has a 20+10 highlight performance, as the season progresses, his fatigue will gradually be revealed.

The shortcomings of the center position restrict how far the Lakers can go.

Switching the Rockets' offense, D'Antoni let Capela stand at the top of the arc, and the others ran along the trend. After Tucker blocked Ingram with his body, Paul, who had already circled the top of the arc, caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

No matter how long Ingram's arm is, he can't reach out from the wall formed by Tucker and Capela to interfere.

With a crisp and neat offensive method, Harden did not take the initiative to participate in the offense, but just slipped to the bottom line and made an off-ball screen.

At this moment, Paul still has fuel in the fuel tank. He can share the burden of organizing the field and let Harden preserve his energy.

The visiting team took the lead in scoring. Lin Feng imagined that he would be the one who defended Paul just now, and it would be useless to face the pick-and-roll from the two Rockets.

Even with a three-second prediction, Tucker and Capela will change their positions according to Lin Feng's movement. This is a paradox that takes time to figure out.

James still did not take the initiative to attack, and handed over the command to Rondo.The latter hoisted the ball into the big McGee who was in the position under the basket, but the throw still missed.

Wharton rubbed the tip of his nose after failing to hit the inside twice. The tactical intention was obvious and an opportunity was formed, but McGee still lacked the ability to grasp the opportunity.

After taking off the rebound, Tucker dribbled the ball forward, and the fans chanted defense!

Lin Feng was sweating for his teammates. McGee's return to defense was significantly slower. Capela, who was facing up, had already rushed to the basket and received a lob pass from Tucker for a layup.

The Rockets scored both offenses in the opening game, leading the Lakers 5-0 in the away game.

This is like playing the Nuggets in the preseason. The Lakers are in a predicament of both offense and defense.

Lao Zhan still chose to trust his teammates and lobbed the ball to Yingge on the edge of the paint. Facing Harden's defense, Yingge directly faced the frame and hit the basket.

Lin Feng on the sidelines could clearly hear the sound of the basketball hitting the basket, which was harsh.

The seasoned Rockets will not give the Lakers time to find the touch.

Paul dribbled the ball into the basket after halftime, faked a shot and passed it to Capela who was plugged in, and then pulled himself to the three-point line.

Faced with Big McGee's single defense, the head-to-head teacher Pei would not look at Paul on the three-point line, but held the ball in McGee's arms for two rounds, jumped up and sent the ball into the net.

7 to 0, the fans are still shouting, because the James moment has not yet arrived.

The game has just begun, and the seven-point gap is not worth mentioning in the small ball era.

It has been 2 minutes since the start of the game, and the Lakers have not scored a point.

Lao Zhan was finally about to start the singles mode. He took the initiative to find Capela on the defense, adjusted the speed at the top of the three-point line and tentatively entered the line, and unexpectedly made a slight fallback jumper.

Finally scored, the Lakers' embarrassment eased slightly.

On the other hand, on the Rockets side, Harden, who has been silent all the time, also decided to show off. He dribbled the ball halfway and kept picking and rolling to find his ideal.

As a result, there was no tacit understanding with Tucker, and Rondo picked him up to launch a counterattack after the pass was lost.

In a two-on-two match, Lin Feng couldn't help but stand up, staggering, the goal was scored by Pope, 7-4!

During the counterattack, the Rockets rushed out a No. 8 player. He was the starter Ennis who hadn't touched basketball much!

I saw him rushing into the penalty area with Ingram hanging on, but Yingge's big slaps were all in front of him, so he had to hand the ball to Capela next to him, and the latter hit McGee again.

Obviously, McGee was scored consecutively by Capela on the defensive end, which became a veritable loophole.

The two sides came and went for several rounds, and the Lakers, who had a bad start, once tied the score.

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, seeing that McGee became a breakthrough, Wharton simply sent a small lineup, and Kuzma replaced Big McGee.

In this way, the new Kuzma was pushed to the fifth position, with a height of 206 cm as the center of the small lineup.

Lin Feng didn't find it surprising that Kuzma had played center forward during the training camp.

The two once played against each other at the basket. Lin Feng broke through for a layup, and it was not McGee or Wagner, but Kuzma, which felt weird.

D'Antoni is also trying to make the lineup smaller and faster, with Gordon, McAway, and Anthony all appearing.

Anthony's appearance still caused a small fluctuation, after all, he was once an offensive kaleidoscope that killed the Quartet.

The New York fellow appeared earlier than Lin Feng expected. The two had no chance to communicate before the start of the game. They could only look forward to a direct dialogue between the seniors and the young students of Syracuse University on the court.

The result of the two sides switching to a small lineup is that the rounds are getting faster and faster, and even a decent attack can be completed in eight seconds.

There were more three-pointers, and poor Kuzma was fouled by Harden for a three-pointer.

Seeing the helplessness on Kuzma's face on the court, Josh Hart next to Lin Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Gary, if I have the chance, I'm going to backhand Harden. That guy is a master of art. He can make you make physical contact with him in various ways, and throw the ball just right."

"If you're lucky, it's a three-point foul, and if you're unlucky, you lose four points." Hart said this with sarcasm.

Lin Feng found that this kid had already had the idea of ​​defending against Harden with his back, and he was not far from realizing his goal.

"If it were me? I'd show up early in Harden's step-back position, and click."

Lin Feng made a movement of stretching his legs and touching his neck, referring to the feet, which made Hart smile even brighter.

But they have to try their best to restrain their smiles, otherwise they will be regarded as not paying enough attention to the game by the fans and media.

Of course, Lin Feng will not do things that are detrimental to sportsmanship, he wants to kill his opponents on the court with dignity.

After the cheers, the eyes of the two people in the chat returned to the field again.
