Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 199
After two days of rest, the Lakers gathered for the Nuggets home court in the morning, and then started the training camp.

During the two days of rest, Jiang Dashan was not idle. Except for shooting short films, he still trained independently at other times.No way, NBA surfing, I don't surf, others surf!

After lunch at noon, Jiang Dashan videotaped with his wife and family for half an hour as usual, and then rested.

In the afternoon, I came to the Pepsi Center, the stadium of the Nuggets, to get familiar with the venue.

In the new season, the Lakers came here for the first time. The Lakers won at home in the last game. The Nuggets hope to complete their revenge.

After the dinner break, the Lakers team appeared in the locker room passage of the Pepsi Center. First, Walton and Shaw entered the field, and then Jiang Dashan led the Lakers players.

All the spotlights are on Jiang Dashan.This feeling is very good.

Since Jiang Dashan scored 82 points, it seems that the eyes of the whole world are on him.All kinds of turmoil, sweet to death, bitter to burst.There are as many people who love him as there are people who hate him.

. . .

Half an hour later, the main players of the two teams came to the field and waited for the referee to kick off.

"Good evening, viewers. This is the sports channel of the TV station." Yang Yi's familiar voice came from the TV again. Before this time in the morning, as long as there is a Lakers game, almost everywhere there is a TV, there will be the voices of Yang Yi and Su Qun.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Su Qun. Jiang Dashan led the Lakers to the Pepsi Center and challenged the Nuggets away. The Lakers were defeated by the Warriors to end their 17-game winning streak, and the team was a little tired after a series of victories. Losing is also a good thing. The Lakers can readjust their mentality and relieve pressure. Believe in the game and will not let us down."

"Okay, the two teams are starting the game. The Lakers are Lonzo, Jiang Dashan, and Ingram; today's power forward, Walton uses Kuzma, who is stable, and Lopez is the center. It seems that if Kuzma performs well, Randall is likely to be on the bench all the time."

"The Nuggets start with Nelson, Harris, Chandler, Millsap, and Jokic. The regular lineup has height, speed, and full impact inside. For the Nuggets, the main control is now handed over to Nelson. After all, the Nuggets' point guards are really limited."

With the referee's right hand, the ball was thrown into the air, Lopez and Jokic jumped up one after another, but the young Jokic had a wonderful rhythm and got the first ball for the Nuggets.

Nelson received a pass from his teammate and organized the offense with the ball.The top of the arc greeted Jokic to come out for a pick-and-roll, and then accelerated to shake off Lonzo.At the same time as Nelson broke through, Jokic also made a quick layup. After being blocked by Jokic, Lonzo could only follow behind Jokic to defend.The insider Lopez saw the two break into the inside, so he could only wait in place and judge the real attacker with the ball.

Sure enough, Nelson rushed to the free throw line and threw it to Jokic, Jokic made an air cut layup, and Lopez jumped to defend.But Jokic still scored blood for the Nuggets.

"Jokic is amazing, a young big center with such flexible steps!" Yang Yi praised.

The Lakers attacked, and Lonzo broke through the middle with the ball and gave it to Ingram. Ingram faced Morris.

Millsap gets the rebound.The Lakers quickly returned to defense.Walton has been emphasizing this point of defense, and the young players of the Lakers also know that their defense is a bit bad, so pay special attention.

Attacking again, Millsap held the ball on the left wing for a high-post single, and missed a jumper with an emergency stop, but Jokic got a rebound inside and made a tip-up, but still missed, and was blocked by Lopez, but the ball that landed was caught by Chandler, and it was given to Millsap again first-hand.This is the tragedy point of the Nuggets, most of the organization is made up of guest appearances by forwards.

Millsap took a series of tentative steps, then accelerated the change of direction, trying to get rid of Ingram.But Ingram defended well.

Harris ran to the bottom line, Jiang Dashan followed, and circled from the outside of the bottom line to the other side at the first time!Jokic, who was about to pick and roll off the ball at the basket, looked at Jiang Dashan like an alien, and Jiang Dashan returned a helpless look, as if telling him, "Hey brother, I often use this trick! So I can only predict it before!"

Harris was closely followed by Jiang Dashan and had no chance.On Millsap's side, he also directly lobbed the ball to Jokic inside. Jokic hit Lopez hard and hit a hook with his back.

The Nuggets are 4-0.

"Brother, what a tragedy, you haven't touched the ball yet!" Jiang Dashan stood on the right wing and spat trash talk at Harris who was defending him.

"Don't you too?" Harris retorted.

"Yes, but if I want the ball, I can just wave to it. Look!" Jiang Dashan waved to Lonzuo, and Lonzuo saw the ball arrive.

"Look!" Jiang Dashan caught the ball and showed it to Harris, "I'm right, try it now and see who will give you the ball!"

When Harris heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Nelson, turned his head halfway, and realized that he had been tricked!

At this time, Jiang Dashan still broke through from the right side of Nelson and went straight to the basket.

Jokic came up to defend, Jiang Dashan jumped up, moved across the air and rushed past Jokic's defensive area, and then hooked with his back without looking at the rebound. Relying on his keen basketball sense and feeling, he hit the ball on the upper side of the basket, and the ball bounced into the frame.

"Good shot!" Yang Yi expressionless, then glanced at Su Qun.

"Yes, good shot!" Su Qun responded blankly.

"Well, good shot,,, haha,,, hahaha, I can't pretend anymore!" Yang Yi and Su Qun laughed together.

The score came to 2 to 4, and the Lakers fell behind.

The game continued, and the Lakers' shooting rate was generally not high. I don't know if it was a side effect of the 17-game winning streak. They were too tired physically and mentally.

But Wharton doesn't think so. He thinks Ingram and Lonzo's shooting is not stable enough, which is a very important issue; Jiang Dashan's shooting is relatively stable, and so is Lopez.Kuzma's starting condition is good, but on the defensive end, Kuzma can't keep up with the experienced Millsap.

At 8 and a half minutes into the game, Walton called a timeout and replaced the substitute lineup; the Nuggets did the same.

After the first game, the score came to 18 to 22, and the Lakers were still behind.Although the hit is not high, but the defense is not bad.

"I didn't expect that J, who was most likely to be sieved by our Enwei, is good on the defensive end! Tell me, he is 1 meters, who will believe it? He is now in the top five defensive positions among guards! If you are talking about point guards, if Kawhi is also counted, then he and Westbrook are the only ones." Standing beside the contemplative Wharton, Xiao sighed.

"In terms of 1-on-1, J's defense is good. I just don't know how to face players like James and Durant." Walton was a little unconfident.

"We only played the Warriors in the last game, you forgot. Even if his defense was blown up, so what? Durant scored 22 points on 7 of 22, and Klay only scored 16 points. But J scored 52 points, which is more than the two of them combined. If it weren't for Ingram and Lonzo who were facing them.

"So do you think our focus should be on Ingram and Lonzo?" Wharton asked Shaw.

"What do you think?" Xiao didn't answer, but smiled, returned to his seat, and continued to watch the game.

. . .

"Both teams don't feel good today! After the first quarter, the score was only 26-28, and the Nuggets led by 2 points." Yang Yi shook his head.

"Indeed, although there are many breakthroughs, the success rate is not high, and confrontation is okay. I can only say that it is wonderful, beautiful, and fearful! I am afraid that one of the two sides will suddenly become accurate, haha!" Su Qun is quite optimistic.

"Dashan is good. He played 8 and a half points, 8 of 4, 2 of 2 free throws, 10 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound. This quarter scored in double figures."

"No way, the new generation of NBA benchmarks! When it comes to the first name that everyone in the NBA thinks of now, Jiang Dashan is probably the name. In the United States, it is called J, or SUPER J. Haha. Hey, I don’t know what James will think! Will he regret it?"

"It's useless to regret. It is estimated that the Lakers will renew their contract in advance next year." Yang Yi suddenly gave a topic.

"Oh, I don't know about that either. Look at Little Thomas, he's a phenomenal one, and he has to be traded!" Su Qun was a little uncertain.

"Jiang Dashan is now the top card of the Lakers. With 82 points, he is an absolutely right off-ball player. He is not afraid of compatibility issues! If the Lakers don't give a maximum salary, then they are blind! Hey, let's wait and see!"
