Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 195 Chapter 227
After the end of the first quarter, Cole severely criticized Durant and Green for being lazy, "If you don't take it seriously, we will lose the game! And our opponent is not the Cavaliers, but a group of rookies. The Lakers!"

"But I think we just need to make a little effort, and they're finished!" Durant didn't care.

"Yeah, coach, I think you are too nervous. Just look at us!" Green also echoed.

"If you think that every game can be won casually, then do you want to continue to play in the finals? The Lakers in front of us have the same record as us! They only lost 3 games! They won almost every game by a big score. As for us, we lost to the Spurs, the Thunder and the Nuggets! These teams may be our opponents in the playoffs." The opponent is strong or weak! This is a professional athlete, not to mention, among your opponents, there is J who beat us last Christmas! He scored 16 points in the first quarter! I don’t want him to score 83 points on us! Break his record! But I think he must have this ability, if you are not serious! "

Durant and Green looked at each other, looking very helpless, but thinking of last year's Christmas, both of them had expressions of displeasure on their faces.

"Cheer up, the game is only half an hour away! Take it home and drink tea!" Curry on the side smoothed things over.

"Okay, let's get serious!" Durant's originally playful expression finally became serious.

"Okay, the second quarter starts, the Warriors have the ball. It is estimated that after the first quarter, Coach Kerr must have severely criticized Durant and Green. Now the expressions of these two people are like eating a lot of garlic, haha!" Yang Yi started joking again.

"Well, I don't think the Warriors will be as sloppy in the second quarter as they were in the first quarter!" Su Qun followed, "Curry held the ball to the top of the arc, Lonzo posted the defense, Durant came out for a pick-and-roll, Curry made a breakthrough, passed back to Durant, Durant faced Lonzo and made a three-pointer directly! Missed! Oh, the Warriors can't make a three-pointer today! Green's offensive rebound was given to the outside. The corner was open, Green was given a three-point shot! Still missed! Oops! Today’s three-pointer, it’s not good at all! But the rebound! I’ll go, Durant got the rebound, turned around and missed the shot, but caused Ingram’s foul!”

Durant made two free throws and the score came to 27-38.

Lopez took the ball, Lonzo took the ball to attack, and the top of the arc was given to Jiang Dashan on the weak side. Jiang Dashan faced the tall Clay, calmly crossed continuously, and then accelerated, still lowered his head and slipped under Clay's armpit, and then encountered Green's strict defense.Jiang Dashan wore his crotch, and Green was caught off guard. Jiang Dashan took the opportunity to pass the ball and came to the basket. The last line of defense was Zaza. Jiang Dashan was close to Zaza's body, with his left foot as the axis.

"Here!" Jiang Dashan heard the voices of Ingram on the left and Lopez on the right behind him.

Before he could turn his head, Jiang Dashan followed the voice, chose one side, ignored the back pass, and the ball came to the right winger Lopez.Lopez went up and down with a knife, did not disappoint Jiang Dashan, and directly scored a three-pointer!The score came to 41 to 27.Jiang Dashan scored the 19th point of the game.

The Warriors attacked, Curry used the pick-and-roll and missed an open 3-pointer, but it was Green again who got the offensive rebound again!Zaza was stuck on Bogut, and the Lakers' rebounds were blown out!

Green got the rebound and directly stepped up, hitting the rebound and scoring.

Bogut served from the bottom line and still handed it over to Lonzo. In this attack, Lonzo slowly advanced.All teammates settled down, and Lonzo reached out to signal Lopez to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Lonzo used Lopez's pick-and-roll to pass Curry, and stopped at the free throw line to prepare for a jumper, but Green's big man was obviously a little scary. Under nervousness, Lonzo leaned back directly, but lost his center of gravity, and was directly pressed by Green after landing.The ball bounced out, and in a panic, Durant got it. Durant made a fast break, and Curry went to the weak side to catch the ball and scored a backhand layup.

On the Lakers side, only Jiang Dashan kept up, but 1 defense 2, Jiang Dashan gave up directly.At this time, the score came to 31 to 41, and the point difference returned to 10 points.

Walton called a timeout, and the Lakers had big problems with their defense and rebounding at this time.Bogut is almost always in a tangle with Zaza, so the rebounding burden falls to Lopez and Ingram, but those two, obviously, are not in the same class as Green and Durant.

Walton replaced Lopez and replaced Randall. The task for Randall was to entangle Green and grab rebounds. Green was the key.As for Durant, it's fate.

The Lakers attacked, Lonzo held the ball to organize, Randall came out to pick and roll, Lonzo broke through the middle, was restricted by Green, and passed the ball to Ingram on the left wing.Bogut hit the back, hit the top twice, turned around and scored two points.

But then, the Warriors made a fast break. Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and threw it to Clay in the bottom corner. Clay didn't make too many moves in the face of Jiang Dashan, and passed directly to Green who made an air cut.Bogut used to be a member of the Warriors and is too familiar with the Warriors.

"The Lakers feel a bit dangerous at the moment. There are big loopholes in defense, and rebounds cannot be guaranteed. As long as the Warriors' shooting percentage increases, it is estimated that they will be overtaken!" Yang Yi is a little regretful. "The overall strength of the Lakers is still far behind the Warriors."

Su Qun also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we can only look forward to whether the Lakers can get another superstar next year, and whether the Lakers' Ingram, Lonzo, and Kuzma can grow. But at present, Kuzma is relatively stable, taking 7-8 shots off the bench, and can score 5-6 goals; but Ingram is worthy of the title of core. Randall is not accurate. At present, only Jiang Dashan, Bogut, and Lopez can see it. Lon Zuomian Barely, Ingram and Randle have their flaws."

At 9 minutes and 53 seconds of the second quarter, after Jiang Dashan missed a three-pointer for the first time, Randall stood against Green and got a rebound.Then to Jiang Dashan, Jiang Dashan stabilized his rhythm, first swayed Clay, then made a three-pointer and hit it, scoring the 30th point of the game.Wharton called a timeout. Jiang Dashan had played for more than 21 minutes in a row. Wharton replaced Jiang Dashan with Clarkson and replaced Ingram with Kuzma.

The Warriors also made minor adjustments.

After the first half, the Warriors recovered a lot and narrowed the point difference to 6 points, ending the first half 56-62.

"The shooting percentages of both teams are mediocre. For the Warriors, they made 18 of 3 three-pointers. Curry made 5 of 0, Durant made 7 of 0, only Green was not bad, 3 of 2, and Clay hit one. Similarly, for the Lakers, Ingram was 9 of 1, Lonzo was 6 of 1, Lopez was so good, 5 of 3. Jiang Dashan was good. He scored 30 points, 5 assists and 1 steal efficiently. He only took 19 shots and maintained a high level of shooting. And the rebounds. On the one hand, the Lakers were blown out, and the Warriors got a total of 33 rebounds, including 10 front boards! The Lakers only got 18 rebounds! Almost half of the Warriors! It’s not a big deal to play like this.” Yang Yi analyzed the first half.

"Indeed, if this continues, the Lakers will collapse sooner or later. Although the Lakers are currently leading, just like what you said, I personally think that the current pressure on the Lakers players is very high, while the Warriors are playing more and more easily. I hope that the last straw that broke the camel's back will not appear in the second half! I hope that someone from the Lakers will come forward! Alright, audience friends, see you after the commercial!"
