Chapter 319 Lakers Dynasty
When Barkley mentioned it, O'Neal and Kenny suddenly realized how terrible the Lakers' defense was just now.

Eat it raw!Compared with traditional steals and blocks, the difficulty is several times higher.

Strictly speaking, the Clippers just failed to dribble past half court.

Generally speaking, this kind of situation will only appear in the game between the US team and Angola, and it can only be done if the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Now, the Lakers have done it, and they did it with the Clippers starters.

Lakers fans didn't think it was anything unusual, at most it was a little better.

But Rivers knew that trailing by 20 points in such a humiliating way, the Clippers' momentum completely collapsed.

He now has to find a way to stabilize the morale of the army and avoid a massacre.

……

The Clippers attacked, and Beverly stared at Tianyang, carefully dribbling the ball forward.

Rivers stood on the sidelines, waving his arms frequently, and shouted: "Run, run, run!"

The head coach reminded that Griffin took the initiative to mention the top of the arc, ready to respond.

But no matter how many people there were, Tianyang still insisted on grabbing.

Beverly passed the ball in a hurry, and the basketball finally flew into Teodosic's hands when he was prepared.

Ingram was also polite, with a pair of long arms reaching down, Teodoo could only score the ball immediately.

Although there were no steals, the Clippers' tactics were not successful, and the entire half was chaotic.

Griffin went around several times, and finally got the ball in the elbow area. He decisively made a three-threat start and played a single face-up.

Kuzma immediately bent sideways and adopted a conventional defensive posture, ignoring the 'steal' shouted by the fans at the scene.

Seeing this situation, Kobe, Carter, and Rondo looked at each other and nodded in appreciation at the same time.

Kuzma is very calm, knows what is the correct way to defend, and is not impulsive. Considering the excitement of the whole team, it is very rare to be able to do this.

Griffin chose to rush to the basket, Kuzma raised his hands and retreated steadily, neither giving nor shooting.

It's a pity that Griffin is the All-Star starting power forward after all. Although his skill has declined, his consciousness is still top-notch. He stepped back and raised his leg to shoot.

Kuzma could only stare blankly, anxiously and guiltily, watching the basketball fly to the hoop,
Fortunately, the shot hit the iron.

Randall rushed to get the rebound, made a long pass to Tianyang outside the three-point line, and the Lakers launched a fast break.

Tianyang is on the left, Ingram is on the right, and Tatum is in the middle. The three of them are like racing cars that start together, rushing to the frontcourt like a strong wind. The Clippers are chasing hard, but they can't even eat the exhaust.

There is no way, young man, just run fast.

The three of you pass to me, and I pass to him. After a few guides, Tatum glided in the middle and scored a layup.

Trailing by 22 points, Rivers couldn't help it, got up and called a timeout.

On the Lakers bench, Carter whispered something to Kobe, and Kobe nodded.

Tianyang led the team back to the bench. Kobe stood up and gave five high-fives one by one, then pulled Kuzma at the end of the team and said: "I know you are very competitive, but don't care about a certain gain or loss. With Griffin's level, You can't completely guard him, you just have to keep him below average the whole game."

Kuzma nodded silently and didn't answer. Seeing this, Randall patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, do you know how much pressure I have on Durant's pick-and-roll in the Western Conference Finals? The whole team is counting on me, The boss even came to Oakland to guide himself, and the night before the first game, I couldn’t sleep at all, for fear of making a mistake, and then guess how it was resolved?”

Kuzma raised his head, showing a pair of curious eyes, and asked, "How did you solve it?"

Randall chuckled, "It's very simple. I told myself that if you fail to defend, you will earn money. If you don't defend, then you should. After all, you are facing an All-Star."

"It seems so!" Kuzma rolled his eyes and touched his nose, "I'm a little greedy."

Tianyang could see the typical lying action clearly. Kuzma didn't really want to understand it, but because of the current situation, he didn't want everyone to focus on him.

The root of the problem, Tianyang speculated, might be Wharton's speech during the intermission.

The only shortcoming Walton mentioned at the time was Kuzma's defense.

Tianyang quickly came up with a set of solutions, and decided to wait until the end of the game to deal with it.

……

The timeout ended, the Clippers attacked, and Beverly took the ball forward.

Tianyang was still pressing at the center line, but the Clippers sent two point guards, and Austin Rivers stepped forward to respond.

Gallinari was also replaced by Willis Johnson. The Clippers speeded up as a whole and seemed to be able to cope with the fast pace, but they just fell into the trap. Walton waved his hand, and the Lakers changed to a 212 zone defense.

Austin suffocated to prove himself, and broke through Ingram like a knife mountain, but suddenly faced the encirclement of Tatum and Randall.

There was no chance of rushing in, so Austin chose to stop abruptly and pull out his hand.

"Dang!", the shot hit the iron, Kuzma and Griffin took off at the same time, and the basketball was pushed to the top of the arc.

Tianyang and Beverly fought together, and they fell to the ground at the same time.

Tianyang held the ball with both hands, twisted it forcefully, and held the ball in his arms abruptly.

But he was still sitting on the ground, and it was difficult to get up. Seeing this, Austin rushed up.

The situation was critical, and the nearest to him was Ingram. Wharton hurriedly waved his hand to signal to come forward to respond, but Rondo gave orders to block him.To be honest, both ideas are correct, but Ingram didn't listen to anyone, and turned around and rushed forward.

Wharton and Rondo were stunned at the same time, and they looked at each other, as if asking, "What is this kid doing?"

In the next second, Tianyang sat on the ground with his back to the backcourt, throwing the ball vigorously with both hands, and the two understood at the same time.

To be reasonable, Tianyang and Ingram cooperated best when the Lakers played fast break.

The two of them only need one look to understand what the other is thinking, otherwise how would the BT attack come about?

Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Ingram received the basketball from the free throw line, turned around to look at Austin who was still outside the three-point line, and hooked his back chicly.

mad!Still very demon!But the ball went in!There was thunderous applause at the Staples Center.

"This is broken. The good boy Ingram is also playing with Tianyang. I hope Tatum will not be affected!" Wharton shook his head, a little helpless, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

In contrast, Rivers was sweating on his forehead, and Clippers owner Ballmer was sitting on the sidelines. It was difficult to play without Paul this season. Now that he lost the first game by a big score, how can he play?
The Clippers attacked again, and they had already been beaten 6-0. If you count the second quarter of the game, it was equivalent to a wave of 10-0. If they didn't score, it would be too embarrassing.

Under the cover of Austin, Beverly hurriedly took the ball to the top of the arc, and Jordan quickly stepped forward to pick and roll.

After blocking, Jordan quickly slid down, caught Beverly's ball, and forced a layup.

The basketball spun around the hoop and eventually fell into it.

Finally, the Clippers scored, and the stone in Rivers' heart finally fell.

But the Lakers directly launched a fast break. The basketball flew from Randall on the baseline to Kuzma on the right sideline, then to Ingram in the middle circle, and then to Tianyang on the left wing of the frontcourt. Finally, it fell into the hands of Tatum, who was running in the middle, and was thrown towards the hoop by Tatum in a bowling posture.

The basketball bounced off the board and fell into the ring, 2 points valid.

"It's over!" Wharton shook his head with a smile, "Tatum is also playing around."

In the TNT live room, O'Neal and Kenny excitedly commented on the Lakers' offense.

But Barkley said solemnly: "I changed my mind. With the immediate combat power and potential shown by the five rookies of the Lakers, the Lakers will not be as simple as winning the championship in the next three years. They will build a dynasty."
