Chapter 204 The 76ers of World War II

As the Rockets won the Lakers, the Lakers suffered a three-game losing streak. The Rockets jumped from third in the West to second in the West, and the Lakers fell to third.

The outside media and people in the basketball industry generally believe that the final ranking of the Lakers may be seventh or eighth. In the short term, the record of the Lakers may decline rapidly, because the Lakers are about to encounter the Cavaliers, Warriors and other strong teams.

Walton felt the pressure, and the Lakers players also felt the pressure, but after the game, there was a 4-day vacation immediately. Walton brought some differences to the Lakers' training, and the focus of these differences was Lopez's tactical status improvement.Walton made it clear that he would increase the number of shots for Lopez, and arranged several tactics specifically for Lopez.

Compared with Russell, whose emotional intelligence is basically 0, and Lonzo, who has a high exposure rate, Ingram is relatively more silent, and he doesn't make much noise, and he is the kind of silent core.

However, for Lopez's tactical improvement, his shots will be reduced, which makes Ingram feel uncomfortable.

The afternoon before the game, Ingram practiced alone under a hoop, looking miserable.

Jiang Dashan noticed it, and stepped forward, standing behind Ingram to watch.

After seeing Ingram's shots a few times, Jiang Dashan felt that Ingram's shooting ability should be good.

Ingram took the ball to the top of the arc, dribbled the ball on the spot, Jiang Dashan suddenly stole the ball from behind Ingram, and then scored a layup.

"Oh my god, J, I'm in a bad mood right now." Ingram looked at Jiang Dashan complaining.

"Come on, Ingram, is it over?" Jiang Dashan looked at Ingram at the top of the arc playfully.

"What do you mean?" Ingram asked back, "My tactical status is slowly declining. Are you still going to bully me?"

"No, no, what I mean is, I stole you and then scored on you, but you didn't react. Don't you even want to take revenge?" Jiang Dashan asked back.

"I..."

"Listen, Ingram, I know you are competitive in your heart, but your performance, and expression, tell me, let him go, that's it! You look, people feel very casual, no desire to win! Your shooting is not bad, but you lack the vigor on the court. You always put your head down immediately after shooting.

"You're right. However, the more I strike iron, the worse my confidence will be." Ingram immediately lowered his head and sat on the ground.

"Do you know how I am famous in China?"

"how?"

"I wanted to enter the professional basketball game at the time, but I was just a little guy who didn't care about it, so I thought of a way to dunk from the free throw line. I thought that as long as I succeeded, people would be amazed and give me a chance. So I succeeded, signed with the Cavaliers, and O'Neal became my agent."

"So, you succeeded once?"

"No, no, I tried for nearly 6 hours and 1000 times. I succeeded the last time. After that, I went to Shanghai to find Yao Ming."

"So you tried 1000 times in a row? Did no one watch?"

"Of course there are, no less than 2000 people!" Jiang Dashan exaggerated the number, "People booed every time I failed, and even posted videos on the Internet, showing off everywhere that I met a fool like me. But I still dunked for 6 hours." Jiang Dashan got up and patted Ingram, "Listen, there is no shortcut to success. Why don't you compress your free time every day, eat time, and contact shooting! In addition, on the field, good shot selection is a must! "

"Thank you, J, and besides, shall we single out now?" Ingram was clearly touched.

"I'm sorry, you're not my opponent right now, let's wait until you hit 40% in a game and score 20!" Jiang Dashan went to training without turning back.

Ingram touched his head in embarrassment, "Well, I know it's ugly that I'm shooting less than [-]% of the shots, but I'll cheer up soon!" After finishing speaking, he continued his own shooting training.

. . .

The next morning, the Lakers went up and down to the Wells Fargo Center, home of the 76ers, to challenge the 76ers.

The 76ers currently continue to be at the bottom, the deputy squad leader.Because the 76ers are currently almost useless except for the data of Redick and Embiid.

After being reimbursed for the season, Ben Simmons played for the first time in a year. His performance can only be described as struggling. His shooting percentage was low, he had few equal points and many turnovers.

And Fultz's performance is far from meeting people's expectations. After all, the first-year freshmen averaged 6.2 points, 5.1 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game, making many people think that Fultz has a parallel importer.

The great is still dominant, but the head coach of the 76 team deliberately limited the playing time of the great. Embiid is now averaging 22 minutes per game, scoring 18.5 points, 11 rebounds and 2.1 blocks.There is no way, to protect the seed players, who will make the 76ers the deputy squad leader.

The internal contradictions of the 76ers are also very deep. The competition for the team leader of the starting core players, and the entanglement between Okafor and the management have all shattered the 76ers' hopes for a breakthrough in the playoffs this season.

However, before the game against the Lakers, the emperor still brought his funny talent to the extreme. Embiid tweeted again: Next season, I think the team may buy James and China J.At that time, James will control the ball, J will play the point, and I will come inside.bring it on!Three consecutive!
The entry was retweeted and liked countless times. After James saw it, he immediately liked it; Jiang Dashan also saw it on the bus, liked it and left a message, "Why didn't you come to the Lakers!"

. . .

In the evening, the game between the Lakers and the 76ers was held as scheduled.

"Good evening, audience friends, this is CCTV Sports Channel, and I'm Yang Yi."

"I'm Su Qun."

"I'm going to bring you the Lakers' away game against the 76ers. The two teams are now back on the sidelines, waiting for the start of the game. We can see Embiid walking to the center of the field and hugging Jiang Dashan! Wow! The previous wave of interaction on Weibo seems to have deepened the friendship between the two, and the audience also gave them applause."

"Okay, the starters of the two teams are out, the Lakers Lonzo, Jiang Dashan, Ingram, Kuzma, Lopez; the 76ers Fultz, Redick, Simmons, Johnson and Embiid. The main thing is that the league's punishment for the rotation is very heavy, causing Embiid to play every game!" Su Qun showed a wretched smile on his face.

"Who said no, Jiang Dashan also plays every game, and the agreed rotation is gone! Hahaha!" After Yang Yi finished speaking, he and Su Qun looked at each other with an expression that you know.

With the referee tossing the ball into the air, the game begins.

Embiid got the first ball for the 76ers.

Fultz organized the offense and made a circle around the perimeter. Johnson came out to pick and roll. Fultz broke through and gave the ball to Simmons who was cutting. Simmons threw the ball to Embiid one step before the free throw line.

After landing, Embiid asked Jiang Dashan to measure his muscles, "Hey, J, do you want to play in Philadelphia!"

Hearing that, Jiang Dashan was a little nauseated.

The Lakers attacked, Lonzo broke through from the center of the arc, Ingram followed up from the flank, received the ball and transferred it to Jiang Dashan who was running in the right corner.Jiang Dashan made a fake move first, then swayed a shot, walked the baseline to throw away Redick, and under Embiid's Wuzhishan, he pulled the bar and scored a layup.

"I think you might as well come to the Lakers!" Jiang Dashan returned to the defense, not forgetting to turn around and tease Embiid.

Then, the 76ers Simmons missed a three-pointer, Embiid got a rebound and gave it to Redick, Redick continued to miss a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Lopez got a rebound.The Lakers fast-break the basket, Lonzo breaks through and points the ball, Kuzma catches up with the sky, and the result is a dunk!But fortunately, Lopez got the ball from the outside and directly chased and hit a three-pointer. The Lakers were 5 to 2!

At 4 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter, Fultz was let off by Lonzo and passed the ball to Redick hastily. He failed to grasp his strength and was cut off by Jiang Dashan. Jiang Dashan made a fast break layup and rewritten the score to 12-7.

At 6 minutes and 33 seconds, Embiid was replaced by the 76ers. Okafor came off the bench, but Okafor's ability was too far behind Embiid. Lopez showed his power inside. Lonzo and Jiang Dashan took turns feeding the ball.

At 8 and a half minutes, the two teams came off the bench. At this time, the Lakers had scored 24 points; the 76ers had 16 points.
