Chapter 176 Successful Succession (33)

Just when Wharton was in a state of desperation, Tianyang suddenly got up and said:

"You have some truth in what you say, but you are only half right. The current score is behind, not because I have too few shots, but because the Warriors are abnormally accurate, and we have tried our best in defense."

WTF?

In the locker room, the Lakers players, the coaching staff, and even Kobe himself were stunned. He had an expression on his face as if he saw sparks hit the earth, as if to say, 'I'm helping you become the leader of the team. What do you mean? '

Tianyang said Kobe was wrong!
And outspoken!

Walton, as a head coach, circled around in circles to express disapproval.

Tianyang is so daring!

After another period of silence, Kobe crossed his arms and said, "You are simply nonsense. If defense can't be the weapon to defeat the Warriors, then you can only use offense to defeat them. Otherwise, why would I ask you to shoot more? Your three-pointer In order to help the team tie the score and even overtake.”

"So you're only half right. In addition to my three-pointers, there are also three-pointers by Ingram, Clarkson, Calderon, Williams, Nick Young, and even Randall and Nance Jr.."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Kobe nodded, turned and left the locker room.

Tianyang stood where he was, and other Lakers players came forward to pay tribute.

Ingram patted his chest, Randall gave a thumbs up, Clarkson and Nick Young nodded frequently, Williams took the initiative to high five... the entire Lakers players paid tribute to him.

Wharton smiled. It turns out that many things can be easily solved.

Although Tianyang entered the team as the No. [-] pick, except for Kupchak's statement at the rookie meeting that he would become the face of the Lakers, no other occasions, any management, any players, or even any media have ever expressed that Tianyang Is the boss of the Lakers.

Everyone tacitly agreed that Tianyang had a core position by default, but starting today, all Lakers players took practical actions to recognize Tianyang's position as the leader of the Lakers.

There is no soul-stirring internal strife, no bloody support from the management, only a few simple sentences.

The first sentence opposed Kobe, and the second sentence praised his teammates, making Tianyang the absolute boss of the Lakers.

Of course, he also has the ability to endure Jenna's bloody farce.

And the leadership he showed before leading the team to a big victory over the Warriors.

There is also the planning ability demonstrated by Yixin for the improvement of Randall's technique.

These things have accumulated over time, and finally completed a qualitative change today.

The Lakers also officially completed the reconstruction, and Tianyang successfully succeeded Kobe.

……

1 minute before the end of the halftime timeout.

Denzel-Washington returned to his seat to find Bryant moping at the other end of the bench.

He took the initiative to walk over and asked: "Go to the locker room to point out Jiangshan, did you quarrel with Wharton?"

Kobe didn't want to pay attention at first, but seemed suffocated, "No."

"That's a quarrel with Tianyang."

"How do you know?" Kobe sat up straight when he heard the words, "We didn't quarrel, but our views were completely different. I thought he had a Mamba mentality. I didn't expect that he also played pass assists like others and cared about other people's opinions."

"Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Denzel chuckled, "If he really cared about other people's opinions, would he have a different opinion from you?"

"You say that, it seems..." Kobe was a little confused, "What's going on?"

"Don't worry about it, you have your tricks, and he has his own. He is the MOP winner who led a big team like Stanford Sequoia to win the NCAA championship." Denzel spoke very firmly, as if he was saying something Certain things.

In a blink of an eye, the halftime timeout ended, the game between the two teams continued, and the Lakers went first.

According to the advice of the team doctor, Clarkson needs to be observed.

So Tianyang still plays the point guard, and Louis Williams continues to play the shooting guard.

Tianyang dribbled the ball across half court, picked and rolled with Nance Jr. at the top of the arc, used the screen to get rid of Iguodala, and went straight to the inside.After rushing into the paint area, no one from the Warriors stepped forward to defend, only Green caught up from behind.

That being the case, Tianyang didn't hesitate, and directly pulled up and threw.

2 points hit, the Lakers scored 62 points.

The Warriors attacked, leading by 12 points did not let Kerr relax his vigilance, and still started with a 'Dooku pick and roll'.

Curry may be anxious to break the record. After getting rid of Tianyang's defense, he adjusted his posture casually and made a hasty three-pointer.

The shot hit the iron, Randall squeezed Durant to grab the rebound, landed and turned around and threw the ball vigorously to the center line.

Tianyang, who got off early, caught the ball and ran wildly, but Iguodala followed him like a shadow, always following him.

The fast break was blocked, and Tianyang hovered on the left wing holding the ball, waiting for other teammates to settle down, but he had already made up his mind to shoot a three-pointer, just to quickly narrow the point difference to within ten.

To this end, he gave Ingram a look, and the latter immediately ran to him.

Thompson also chased after them, the four huddled together on the left wing, and Tianyang detoured to the top of the arc.

He deliberately slipped his feet, luring Thompson and Iguodala to double-team.

The two really fell for it and formed a siege in an instant.

Tianyang, who was half squatting on the ground, immediately threw it at Ingram like a grenade.

With a 'swish' sound, Ingram hit a hollow three-pointer.

The point difference between the two teams narrowed to 9 points, the fans saw the hope of winning again, and the Staples Center cheered again.There was also a little flicker in Kobe's eyes.

The Warriors attacked again, and Dooku still picked and rolled. After that, Durant dribbled to the right, and Randall followed suit.

The two walked to the right sideline, and Thompson ran over from the right bottom corner to cover.

Durant adjusted his posture and shot a 3-pointer before Ingram switched defenses.

It was quite difficult but still entered the net hollowly, but the referee waved his hands crosswise at the technical stage to indicate that it was not counted.

Durant was stunned, and the video replay showed that he stepped on the sideline.

The Lakers attacked again, and Cole continued to push his hands out on the sidelines without any concealment.

The intention is very obvious, to suppress the Lakers' outside shot space, and resolutely not give 3-point opportunities.

The Warriors responded immediately, except for Iguodala who interfered with Tianyang's dribble, the others had to start defending.

Wharton looked embarrassed when he saw this. Two days ago at Oracle, Cole had already played the tactic of deliberate early exposure.

This time is coming!He and the Lakers players are too underestimated!

Just as he was about to speak to remind, Tianyang had already thrown a quarterback-style long pass.

The basketball flew quickly in the air, like a Stark Industries missile, and fell into Ingram's hands precisely.

Without a change of direction or a screen, Ingram relied purely on speed to get ahead of Thompson and easily completed the layup.

The point difference between the two teams narrowed to 7 points. Tianyang got the 20th assist, but only scored 7 points.

On the sidelines, Dustin Hoffman shrugged, "Sure enough, Tianyang is the best choice to play point guard."

Tom Hanks nodded, "A 196CM point guard, try to make your body stronger, let alone Leonard, even LeBron can only defend 55 with all his strength."

Denzel Washington frowned, "It's strange to hear you two talking about basketball. When did you two know the ball so well?"

On the court, the Warriors attacked. Curry used Durant's cover to move from the left wing to the right wing in a wide range, and then used Green's cover to shoot 3 points.

Randall flew to the defense, but the basketball went into the net hollow, and Curry hit the ninth three-pointer of the field.

The difference between the two teams returned to 10 points.

The Lakers attacked, Tianyang cooperated with Nance in the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and got rid of Iguodala and made a direct 3-pointer.

Without warning, Green, who switched defenses, didn't react at all. The basketball bounced back and forth and fell into the hoop.

The Warriors attacked, Durant, Thompson, and Green continued to cover Curry with three-pointers, and the Lakers Randle, Ingram, and Nance Jr. changed defenses in succession and failed to stop Curry from taking shots.

Fortunately, the basketball hit the frame and bounced out. Tianyang picked up the rebound and continued to dribble the ball behind his back.

Rushing to the right wing, he raised his right hand and prepared to pass the ball high, but Iguoda turned his head in an instant, making him subconsciously turn into a super hook outside the three-point line.

Because it was not planned in advance, the flight trajectory of the basketball deviated far from the basket, but in the end it unexpectedly wiped the board and bounced into the circle.

Totally a stroke of luck!
The Warriors were attacking, and the Lakers were desperately defending. The supplementary defenses were faster and faster, and the assistance defenses became more ruthless each time.

In this way, he waited until the last second before Durant pulled out from the right wing.

The basketball is hit in the air, but 24 seconds have elapsed before the shot is taken, and the violation does not count.

Tianyang and Iguodala took off at the same time three times in a row to grab the ball.

He won by relying on his young explosive power, and by virtue of his young stamina, he quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

Iguodala was too tired and out of breath to catch up, so Green could only step forward to defend.

His habit of making small moves was confiscated. Not only did Tianyang hit a three-pointer, but he also sent an extra foul.

After making an additional penalty, Tianyang scored 10 points in a row, helping the Lakers tie the Warriors, Cole called a timeout.

TNT commentary.

O'Neal danced and danced excitedly, "Did you see that? Tianyang has combined his stability with Kobe's crazy success. The Lakers will definitely win this game!"

Kenny nodded, "That's true, scoring 10 points in a row is as dazzling as stars."

Barkley chuckled, "So you made a bet just now?"

O'Neal slapped the table, "Yes, I bet. If the Lakers don't win, I'll be vegetarian for a week!"

As soon as O'Neill said this, the Chinese fans watching the live broadcast went crazy again!

"It seems that Kobe went to the locker room to teach the secret and it worked!"

"Appeared, appeared, full force Janga rationale appeared."

"O'Neill is a real man, much more straightforward than Barkley!"

"This game can be said to be a lifetime series."

　The last dialogue in the chapter of Kobe’s ambition was originally intended to encourage the protagonist to be the boss.

　　But after thinking about it carefully, if it doesn't fit the character design of the protagonist, I directly cut the follow-up content. It seems a bit jumpy, and the design is wrong, sorry.
