NBA peak

Chapter 148 The strongest on the surface 175
At the beginning of the game, Thomas Jr., known as the strongest 175 on the surface, was fully fired.

Thomas Jr., who plays point guard but likes to be a point guard, likes to score most on the court.

This is indeed the case. Thomas Jr. gave the Raptors a wave of their nine-game winning streak at the beginning of the game.

Facing Ge Feng's defense, Thomas Jr. made a breakthrough at the speed of light, and completed a shocking tie between Siakam and Ibaka.

The first time the Lakers scored, they were so powerful.

The Lakers fans were instantly excited, at least in terms of momentum, they have completely overwhelmed the Raptors.

The Raptors attacked, and DeRozan singled Pope.

After a few tentative steps, DeRozan made a mid-range shot against Pope.

The ball is in.

Although DeRozan's scoring is not as explosive as Thomas Jr., it is efficient and does not need to waste much energy.

But is little Thomas the kind of person who lacks physical strength?

How could a 175 short guy be called the strongest on the surface without impressive physical fitness as a basis in the NBA?
The Lakers are attacking, and Thomas Jr. has a very strong desire to attack.

For the rebuilding Lakers, Thomas Jr.'s offense is indeed the most stable first starting point.

Dribbling, swaying left and right, accelerating, changing direction, and pulling back, Thomas Jr.'s set of skills almost sent Ge Feng flying.

Ge Feng is 23 centimeters taller than Thomas Jr., and it is really difficult for Ge Feng to defend against Thomas Jr.'s breakthrough.

Thomas Jr. broke through again and scored the ball as if he had passed through no one's land.

The ball went in, and the Lakers fans completely climaxed, shouting Thomas Jr.'s nickname loudly.

Lowry came over and switched defenses with Ge Feng.

Ge Feng was a little ashamed. Thomas Jr. was still the most threatening small player he had ever encountered.

Thomas Jr. is fast and good at handling the ball. Ge Feng is now thinking about how to defend against players like Thomas.

Ge Feng's goal is the NBA championship. If the defensive skills are always lacking, this goal will be difficult to achieve.

Ge Feng switched to Clarkson of the Lakers.

Clarkson and Ge Feng are exactly the same height and weight. When they defend against each other, they still have a chance of winning.

Lowry became point guard.

The biggest advantage of Ge Feng and Lowry's partnership in the backcourt is that their positions can be flexibly deployed.

Lowry dribbled the ball, and Thomas Jr. made a very active defense.

For the two goals just now, Thomas Jr. played with confidence. Facing the Raptors' head guard Lowry, Thomas Jr. didn't feel afraid at all.

Lowry gave Thomas Jr. a plump big butt, and while dribbling, he motioned Ge Feng to circle behind him.

Ge Feng immediately understood Lowry's hint, and while quickly going around the pick-and-roll, Ge Feng was ready to take a three-point shot.

With the hand-to-hand pass, Ge Feng rose from the ground before Clarkson could keep up.

Ge Feng is still two meters away from the three-point line!
"Shh."

Ge Feng's three-pointer was surprisingly accurate. After landing, Ge Feng excitedly gave Lowry a high-five.

This is the hand-to-hand three-point tactic they have used the most this season.

Ge Feng's ability to catch and shoot is really good, and Lowry is also willing to do hand-to-hand pick-and-rolls for Ge Feng.

Looking back, Thomas Jr. faced Lowry, and it was indeed not as easy to break through as before.

Lowry is shorter and faster, and he and Thomas Jr. can really fight each other.

Clarkson and Pope began to be active frequently, and the two hit sports goals one after another.

Ge Feng can see that this year the Lakers focus on the three guards. The Lakers need to rely on shooting in the backcourt to open up the rhythm.

At the same time, this rhythm shows that Ingram's tactical status, which was infinitely valued by the Lakers last year, is constantly decreasing.

The Raptors and the Lakers played against each other for almost 8 minutes, and Ingram barely touched the ball.

The only two offensive opportunities, facing the gibbon Siakam, Ingram did not score.

Since then, no Lakers teammate has passed the ball to Ingram.

Silly boy, wake up, you will soon be the No. [-] pick for the Lakers.

With Ge Feng's mid-range hit, the Raptors took a slight lead, and the two sides ended the first quarter with a 2-point difference.

The Raptors lead the Lakers by 21 points at 19:2. Judging from the situation, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.

The two sides played almost the same in the first quarter. The Raptors DeRozan scored 7 points, Lowry scored 4 points, and Ge Feng scored 5 points.

For the Lakers, Thomas Jr. had a game-high 9 points, Pope had 4 points, Clarkson had 3 points, Lopez had two points, and made a free throw.

In the first quarter, Thomas Jr. caused a lot of trouble for the Raptors.

During the break, Ge Feng saw Kobe walking to the Lakers bench.

Young players surrounded Kobe, and Kobe kept telling them something.

Lakers coach Luke Walton also got involved, seemingly arguing with Kobe.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Siakam shook his hand twice in front of Ge Feng, then turned his head to look in the direction Ge Feng was looking at.

"The bastards of the Lakers, Kobe felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood when he came. He thought it was an easy game."

Van Vleet covered his legs with a towel and said resentfully.

Ge Feng smiled and said to them, "Don't think too much, if we win this game, we will win ten consecutive victories."

Nas said at this time: "It's not that easy. I know Walton very well. He is a typical conservative coach. Based on what I know about him, he must have expectations for Pope and Lopez whose contracts are about to expire, so he will always let them start. If my guess is correct, the Lakers will replace them with a new lineup in the second quarter."

The players didn't quite understand what Nurse said.

After all, this is a game between the coaches. They are only responsible for playing well and don't care about the intrigue between the coaches.

Only Ge Feng was an exception, only he was seriously thinking about what Nas said.

That's right, based on Ge Feng's understanding of Kobe, he must want Kuzma and Ball to have more playing time.

Both of them are rookies of the Lakers. According to the default unspoken rules of the league, they should both start off the bench, and playing five or six minutes per game is enough.

But Kobe is not a conservative person, he values ​​the efforts and strength of the players more.

Needless to say, Brother Qiu's talent, the whole world has seen his talent.

Since Kuzma joined the Lakers, he has been loved by Kobe.

Because he is the hardest-working Lakers player Kobe has ever seen, Kobe wanted to give him more opportunities to prove himself.

Although Kobe did not ask about all the affairs of the Lakers on the surface, his status in the Lakers has not passed after all, and he often discusses the next actions of the Lakers with Payton in secret.

Sure enough, at the start of the second quarter, the Lakers' lineup completely changed.
