lakers championship

Chapter 418
At 14 pm on the 4th, at the Staples Center, the entire Lakers team warmed up before the game.

After Tianyang hit several three-pointers in a row, he walked up to McGee and said a few words.

"Aren't you serious?" McGee put down the basketball he was about to shoot, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Are you going to guard Jokic? His height, wingspan, weight and strength are all crushed. Even if you can steal it, it's impossible. Keep stealing!"

"Don't get excited!" Tianyang waved his hand, "I mainly want to prevent him from catching the ball, not to fight back."

"Oh, that's okay." McGee scratched the back of his head and nodded, "You mean to let me come in as a substitute? You just say it, as long as the team can win, I have no opinion, you don't have to do that Around."

"No, no, no. Don't worry, I haven't finished yet!" Tianyang waved his hand again, "You have to start with me, restrain Jokic on the offensive end, and quickly consume his energy. Down the court, we can have a scoring climax.”

"That's it, I'm fine." McKee nodded heavily, "What do you want me to do?"

"You need to do these things..."

...

In a blink of an eye, the time came to 7 pm, and the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets officially started.

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neill looked melancholy.

Kenny grinned slyly: "Shaq, is there anything unhappy? Tell us to make us happy?"

O'Neal glared, but didn't respond.

Barkley shook his head and chuckled: "What else can he be unhappy about? The Lakers have lost three games in a row."

Kenny opened his mouth wide, showing an expression of 'that's it': "This time the Lakers are up to 73 wins and 9 losses, and they can't break the Warriors' regular season winning record. It's different from Shaq's previous prediction. So it's like this..."

O'Neal interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It's okay, the Lakers can still tie the Warriors' record, and they are also the first in history!"

Barkley shrugged: "It's difficult. Jokic broke out in the game a few days ago, and the Lakers have nothing to do."

While the three were chatting, players from the two teams had already entered the field.

In terms of lineup comparison, Tianyang played point guard against Murray; Hart played shooting guard against Harris; Tatum played small forward against Wilson Chandler; Randall played power forward against On Millsap; McGee plays center, on Jokic.

In the jump ball session, McGee took the lead to touch the ball and vigorously moved to the backcourt. Tianyang got it in his hands and the Lakers attacked first.

After Tianyang brought the ball to the top of the arc, he raised his left hand high to signal the audience to disperse, and he wanted to single-handedly hit Murray.

The fans at the scene recalled Murray's previous ugly behavior, and all stood up to cheer for him.

He first made continuous cross steps to find an angle and try to break through, but the speed was not fast. Murray could keep up, but suddenly, he pushed the ball under Murray's crotch, and the ball passed!By the time Murray reacted, he had already picked up the basketball at the free throw line and quickly started a three-step layup.

Murray was so ashamed that he turned around and chased after him and pulled the hem of his clothes directly, but Tianyang shot steadily.

The goal was scored, the whistle sounded, 2+1, and the fans cheered loudly.

When Tianyang made a free throw, the big screen also played the picture of Murray piercing Tianyang from behind. Extraordinary."

Such a scene was keenly captured by the on-site cameras and quickly spread to thousands of households.

This is still intentionally left blank, fans can play freely, it is okay to write about villains, and it is also okay to write about cowards.

Seeing this, O'Neill smiled depressedly, "It seems that Tianyang and the Lakers have discussed it. This kid has a lot of tricks, and he can play like this."

Kenny nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe his tricks don't stop there..."

On the court, after finishing the free throw, Tianyang silently walked towards Jokic, directly next to him, never leaving him.

At the same time, Hart defended Murray, Tatum defended Harris, Randle defended Chandler, and McGee defended Millsap.

Barkley exclaimed: "This is all misplaced! The Lakers have the advantage in four positions!"

This is true. In terms of height, strength, and speed, Hart is about the same as Murray, Tatum is slightly better than Harris, and Randall is good at defending big and small, and his strength is stronger than Chandler. Le, and Millsap's speed is not fast, McGee can keep up, and his strength is not at a disadvantage.

Only Tianyang lost to Jokic in terms of strength and height, but his speed absolutely won.

Murray rushed to the top of the arc with the ball and cooperated with Jokic in the pick-and-roll. When he saw Tianyang changing defense, he frowned. After a little hesitation, he passed the ball to Jokic.

But Jokic got the ball at the top of the arc and didn't have a three-pointer, so he could only continue to find someone, wait for Harris to step forward to respond, and after passing the ball hand-to-hand, he turned around and slipped to the basket.Tianyang was not strong, but kept going around the front defense to catch the ball, and with Tatum's constant interference, Harris chose to throw the ball high.

Seeing this, Jokic stepped back, and finally caught the basketball at the bottom line on the right, but the space was very small, and the angle of the shot was not very good, so he had to turn forward and back.At this moment of turning around, the basketball was completely exposed, and Tianyang directly made a steal, but Jokic reacted quickly enough and decisively held the ball with both hands, but he did not make a shot, but looked for an opportunity to pass the ball.

But Randall on the right sideline had been waiting for a long time, and rushed directly to double-team with Tianyang. Tatum on the three-point line also turned and rushed forward, and the three completely locked Jokic.

After a fierce scramble, the referee blew his whistle and called for a scrimmage.

Tianyang wooed Tatum and Hart to whisper a few words, then walked to the free throw line to stand still, Jokic also quickly stood up, the referee walked between the two, and gently tossed the ball up.

Tianyang rose from the ground like a spring, did not touch the ball at all, but patted the ball forward.

Hart, who had already been prepared, quickly rushed to the center line, picked up the basketball and rushed to the basket, dunking and scoring.

Jokic was still in the backcourt at this time, so he didn't leave at all, and stopped at the free throw line with his hands on his hips.

Seeing this, Barkley smiled and said, "If SkyOcean can still defend, then it's really amazing!"

As soon as the words fell, Murray had already dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and with the help of Harris' pick-and-roll, he passed the ball from the gap to the free throw line before Tamm switched defenses.Tianyang didn't go around to intercept, because there was too much space and too much time to achieve the previous effect, so he chose to forcibly defend.

Jokic received the ball and made a strong header without hesitation.Tianyang resolutely "removed the chair", but Jokic was skilled in back hitting, quickly stopped his body and turned back, and raised his right hand smartly.

Snapped!Tianyang slapped the basketball vigorously, Hart picked it up, ran to the front basket again, and dunked again.

In the TNT live broadcast room, Ernie pushed his glasses and asked doubtfully, "Who can explain to me?"

Kenny looked confused and muttered to himself: 'Is this okay? '

Barkley shook his head: "Tianyang is really powerful. Jokic's movements are completely under his control. He should withdraw his chair this time to prepare for the jump block. He should have seen Jokic at least ten times. Offensive video analysis.”

O'Neal nodded: "So, this is the strength. Even if the Lakers are easy to use, they can still beat the Nuggets and win the championship."
