lakers championship

Chapter 217
At 25:7 pm on the 40th, the first game after the Lakers All-Star Weekend, the pre-game ceremony began.

The live DJ shouted louder than ever, "Ladies and gentlemen, please fill the Staples Center with your cheers, and welcome the Lakers players with screams and applause."

"Yeah!!!" More than 1 fans got up and cheered, the lights went out, the giant screen in the center of the stadium was lit up, and Tianyang's full body image appeared on it, and then the DJ shouted, "We welcome, Demaku-Kao Sins, Nick Young, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle...".

In the player channel, Tianyang led the team to file out, and the cheers of the fans reached the peak!

Standing still at the entrance, the ceremony entered the part of playing and singing the national anthem, led by Justin Blake!

A lot of big-name stars, Denzel Washington, Leonardo and others, together with Kobe, stood up one after another.

After the ceremony, Tianyang continued to warm up, and the two commentators on the sidelines, Thompson and Mike, began to analyze.

Thompson picked up a stat sheet, "Today is the first day of the Lakers' new lineup. Now I have a good news and another good news. Do you want to hear that first?"

Mike grinned, "You just talk about it together, I can't wait!"

Thompson nodded, "First, Oladipo is out due to injury, and we will have less defensive pressure in the backcourt; second, Nick Young warmed up before the game. He made 3 of 20 three-pointers and felt hot."

Hearing this, Mike opened his eyes wide, "That's great, the only weak link can also be tied, and the chances of winning are even greater!"

The two analyzed for a while, the game officially started, the Lakers players took their positions on the court, and the fans cheered again after the game.

In terms of lineup, Tianyang faced Westbrook, Nick Young faced Alex, Ingram met Robertson, Randall faced Sabonis, and Cousins ​​collided with Adams.

As the referee tossed the ball into the air, Cousins ​​and Adams jumped almost simultaneously.

Adams had better luck, and he pushed the ball to the backcourt. Westbrook picked it up and slowly brought it to the frontcourt.

Just past the center line, Tianyang rushed forward to press down.

Tianyang's thinking is very clear. Except for Westbrook, the offensive ability of holding the ball is basically zero. Forcing him to pass the ball can maximize the weakening of the Thunder's offensive ability.

But Westbrook seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He easily pulled the ball and turned around, got rid of it with a feint, and quickly rushed to the three-point line.

Tianyang caught up again, bent his legs, and spread his hands to defend.

Westbrook didn't even look at it, he leaned up sideways, rushed close to his body, rushed into the free throw line, and made an emergency stop to pass the ball.

At 45 degrees to the right, Alex catches the ball and shoots directly, quite decisively!
Nick Young's attention was taken away by Westbrook, and it was already a step late to react.

Fortunately, with a bang, the shot was shot.

Nick Young didn't seem to care about his defensive mistakes. As soon as Cousins ​​caught the rebound, he had already rushed to the center line, then turned around and received a pass, and rushed to the frontcourt.

Where Alex can catch up, Westbrook can only defend, and Tianyang follows suit.

The three of them reached the three-point line with their front and rear feet, Nick Young made an emergency stop to score the ball, and Tianyang pulled out his hand.

The same iron, but Nick Young caught the rebound without defense and passed it to Cousins ​​who arrived.

Dunk with both hands!First show gift!The fans stood up and cheered!
Easy side Thunder attack, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, cooperated with Adams in the pick-and-roll, then took the ball to the right wing, rushed to the basket with the help of Sabonis' second screen, chased against Randall, and forced a layup.

"Snapped!"

Cousins, who returned to defense, nailed the big hat, the basketball rebounded and flew to the top of the arc, and Tianyang, who was watching the show, grabbed it in his hands.

Turn around, sprint, no one can catch up with him, easy dunk.

4 to 0, 2 dunks, Staples has become a sea of ​​cheers.

During the sideline commentary scene, Thompson pushed his glasses, "I feel like I suddenly changed from a tactical team to a talent team!"

Mike smiled, "Agreed, I can't even get used to it."

On the court, Westbrook had already controlled the ball and stopped at the top of the arc, and Tianyang spread his hands to intercept.

Adams stepped forward to pick and roll, Cousins ​​changed defense.

It is said that Westbrook should dribble the ball to find a breakthrough opportunity at this time. He once thought that Westbrook walked a tightrope on the edge of the cliff, dribbled the ball behind his back very riskily, and squeezed in through the cracks.

Randall quickly moved laterally to defend, and Westbrook scored Sabonis in the air.

CIC shot, hit!
Randall withdrew from the bottom line to serve, and Tianyang took it and slowly pushed it to the outside of the right wing, raising his hand and settling down.

In the blink of an eye, Tianyang passed the ball to Randall, and then he quickly made a screen for Nick Young.

Alex was about to switch defenses, but Tianyang had slipped to the basket.

Randall passed Cousins, Cousins ​​took the ball and threw it directly to the basket, Tianyang scored an easy layup.

Wharton nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines, no matter what training or playing games, it was simply terrifying.

Easy side Thunder attack, Westbrook dribbles the ball to the top of the arc, don't pick and roll, force Tianyang.

The two are fighting wits and courage, you pull the ball and I turn around, you retreat and I chase after you, you push me close.

Under such circumstances, for 18 seconds in a row, Westbrook failed to rush into the inside lane.

Finally, in a hurry, he reached out for a pick-and-roll, rushed to the inside line and made a layup, but was blocked by Cousins ​​again!
The Lakers took advantage of the fast break, and Tianyang, Nick Young, and Ingram advanced in three lines.

The Thunder also kept up, and the defense was very aggressive. They pulled the referee slightly and didn't blow it. As a result, Tianyang couldn't find a suitable shot. When Cousins ​​ran to the three-point line, he had an idea and passed the ball.

Cousins ​​received the ball and subconsciously raised his hand to shoot, but he seemed to think of something and stopped again.

Tianyang was in a hurry to stop at the basket, and he would be surrounded by another step.

Tianyang immediately shouted to remind, "Vote!"

After the words fell, the fans in the nearby stands echoed and shouted "Vote!"

Cousins ​​seemed to be encouraged, quickly adjusted his posture, and shot steadily.

Sabonis tried to seal the score but failed, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

9 to 2, the Lakers lead.

The Thunder attacked again, and Westbrook controlled the ball at the top of the arc to signal the audience to open up. The other players of the Thunder did the same, but the Lakers players still kept their miniature shape and did not cooperate with this one-on-one matchup.

Westbrook got angry, changed hands with one crotch, then made a forced breakthrough, and pulled out his hand at the free throw line.

Miss!Cousins ​​grabbed the rebound, but Tianyang caught the ball quickly and was stopped by Alex.

That being the case, Tianyang decided to implement the tactic just now. He took the ball to the right wing and signaled his teammates to settle down.

Just as he was about to pass the ball to Randall, Westbrook and Sabonis blocked early to intercept.

Tianyang was happy to see this scene, and directly hit the ground and made a long pass to the inside. Cousins ​​took a step forward, caught the ball and then made a layup.

All the actions were done in one go, and the points were easily scored. The Lakers led 11 to 2.

Donovan asked for a timeout in advance, and the fans sang Justin Blake's new song loudly!

In the sideline commentary scene, Thompson’s expression of joy was beyond words, “Great, it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose this game. Tianyang and Cousins ​​cooperate so well. As long as they don’t face the Warriors and Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, they will definitely enter the second place.” wheel!"

Mike picked up a data sheet, "Cousins ​​scored 7 points, 2 blocks and 2 rebounds. The game just lasted 4 minutes. This data is worthy of being the number one center forward!"
