Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 238
"Dashan played, and Walton made some other adjustments. Ingram came up to play small forward, Randall came up to power forward; Kuzma and Jr. Nance all went down. Lopez didn't move. It can be seen that Walton hopes that Dashan's breakthrough and shooting will help the Lakers open the situation!"

Back to the game, the Lakers' sideline.

Randall served to Jiang Dashan on the center line.

"J, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have played so early!" Leonard was very excited to see Jiang Dashan, "You are a 82-meter little guy with 1 points in a single game, you are very good!"

Jiang Dashan crossed several times in a row, Leonard was unmoved, "Your defense is very good, but it is not enough!"

With a shoulder probe, Leonard's center of gravity was attracted, he quickly pulled back, and then accelerated on the same side.

Leonard thought that Jiang Dashan was going to break through from the other side, but he didn't expect Jiang Dashan to go on the same side!At this time, the footsteps had already been stepped out, and in an instant, Leonard lost his center of gravity!
"Dashan's continuous movements made Leonard's soles slip! Just throw it off! Breaking through to the free throw line, Gasol and Adelaide came to defend, Dashan gave the ball to Lopez on the bottom line, made a two-point shot, hit! 12 to 18." Yang Yi and Su Qun stared at the live broadcast screen intently.

"The pass is beautiful! But I want to see Dashan come by himself, hehe!"

"The Spurs were attacking. In front of Leonard, Dashan was like a child, only Leonard's chin was high. Leonard made a breakthrough at the top of the arc, but at the moment of the breakthrough, Dashan cut the ball! If you want to ask who is the strongest in steals, Dashan said that he is second. No one in the league dares to say he is the first. But the ball was given to Green. It was given back to Leonard. This time, Gasol came out for a pick-and-roll! A breakthrough was given to Aldridge. , Leonard is back, I am afraid that the entire ranking in the Western Conference will have to be updated! The Lakers, there is only one big mountain, it is difficult to resist. Lopez's help alone is not enough, more people need to stand up." Yang Yi began to feel a little worried about the result of the game.

On the final attack of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 26 points 35-9.

Jiang Dashan caught the ball from the bottom line and slowly pushed forward.

"In the last attack of the first quarter, Dashan came to the frontcourt with the ball and stretched out his hand to direct his teammates to run. At this time, Lopez and Randall had already landed on the bottom corners on both sides. The inside line was all pulled out to give Dashan a single. A small tentative step, then a continuous cross step, the top of the arc, an accelerated emergency stop, a retreat step, a three-point shot! . . . Hit! The end of the first quarter! Let's watch the slow-motion playback. If Thomas Jr. came to shoot this ball, he would definitely be blocked! If it were Irving, he would definitely choose to break through the emergency stop jumper and open up space to shoot a two-pointer. There are probably only a few guards in the league who dare to shoot like this, including Curry, Westbrook, Harden, and Dashan.”

. . .

The second quarter began immediately, and Walton replaced Lopez with Bogut. Lopez performed well in the first quarter, especially after Jiang Dashan came on the court, feeding the ball continuously, 6 of 5, scored 12 points and 2 rebounds.

Players from both sides played and the Lakers attacked.

Bogut came up directly to the pick-and-roll on the outside.Jiang Dashan broke through the bottom line, then turned around with his left foot next to Gasol, and then leaned back 45 degrees!
But Leonard followed Jiang Dashan and blocked the shot behind him!Dajia also came to defend from the front!

Jiang Dashan smiled slightly, retracted his right hand, and pushed the ball to the floor in front of him. The ball slipped steadily under Dajia's crotch, and Bogut made a dunk when he caught the ball! 31 to 35!The point difference came to 4 points.

The players on the Lakers bench stood up better, but Lonzo was dumbfounded, "I Cao, this ball can still be passed like this!"

For the Lakers, Jiang Dashan controls the rhythm of the game, but there is Leonard on the outside, Aldridge on the inside, and Green and other role players are also good.

This made Jiang Dashan feel very difficult, because whenever the score was approaching, someone from the Spurs would always stand up and open the score again.

"Mr. Popovich called a timeout and asked Leonard to rest. Murray played the point guard. At the same time, Ginobili and Mills also came up. Murray, the kid, successfully snatched the first ball from Mills. When Nader was resting, Murray was a good point guard. The Spurs' offense, a big pick-and-roll, successfully blocked the position of Dashan. 45 to 51, 6 points!"

On the playing field, the continuous chasing of points seems to be getting closer, but the result is pulling away again. This kind of situation is a great drain on the willpower of the players.

The Lakers attacked, Dashan made a breakthrough at the top of the arc, and made a layup by himself. Surrounded by Shuangde and Dajia, he failed to make a hit!

Bogut rebounded and gave it out, and Pope's three-pointer also missed.

The Spurs followed up with a fast break, and Ginobili hit a layup with a standard European step, 45 to 53.

Subsequently, the Lakers missed two rounds.The Spurs played steadily, adding a hook to get 2 points, and Ginobili hit a three-pointer.

The score came to 45 to 58, and the point difference widened to 13 points again.

The end of the second quarter was only a short 3 minutes. Wharton was also unwilling, but he could only call a timeout.

"Wharton replaced Dashan, replaced Lonzo, and Lopez also played! Popovich replaced Ginobili, and he scored 5 points in the game. The mission is completed! Forbes played for a few minutes!"

"It's true that we are chasing points continuously, but our teammates are not in good condition. I can only watch the score being pulled away again and again. It doesn't feel good!" Yang Yi sighed, "Helpless, deeply helpless, Wharton was given a close-up shot, with vicissitudes on his face. It is true that Luol Deng Bai won 1700 million and didn't get a game; Pope averaged less than 1700 points per game with 10 million."

"Lopez is fine. He averaged 22.3 points per game in these few games. It's mainly Wharton's side who gave him a tactical position. But just looking at the statistics, the Lakers actually have the upper hand! On the Spurs side, only Aldridge averaged 20+ points per game. Leaving Leonard aside, the others are around 10 points." Su Qun began to discuss.

"But, the Lakers' average per game is based on the number of shots per game. Ingram averaged 14.5 shots and 13 points per game; Lonzo scored 8.8 points and took 12 shots, etc. The more efficient ones are Dashan, Lopez and Kuzma, but the combined average shots of the three are only about 40 shots per game. Walton Gai has adjusted, so if you play casually, no one can stop you."

After halftime, the Lakers trailed 52 to 64 by 12 points.

"At the end of the half, the Lakers trailed by 12 points. Dashan made 8 of 5, made 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points and 5 assists. All the points came from breakthroughs, which had a great impact on Dashan's physical strength. Lopez scored the highest of the Lakers with 18 points and 4 rebounds. For the Spurs, Leonard came back in a very good state. He scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 20 assists on 5 of 4 in the half; Aldridge scored 10 of 6, scored 14 points and 8 rebounds; Also played well, 8 points and 8 rebounds."

In the locker room, the atmosphere of the Lakers is not too harmonious.

Jiang Dashan was the last one to come to the locker room because of his communication with Xiao.

"What happened?" Jiang Dashan felt different.

"Deng proposed a buyout. He is dissatisfied with the status quo. He will refuse to play for the Lakers until the Lakers management proposes any next steps." Walton came up and told Jiang Dashan. "He is now heading to the headquarters with his agent."

"My God!" Although Jiang Dashan knew that Deng would definitely bid farewell to the deal, he was still surprised when it happened suddenly.

Glancing at the other teammates, Randall, Ingram, Pope, Lopez and others, all of them showed regret and tension on their faces. Yes, maybe what awaits them is also a deal!
Walton also discovered this situation, so he cheered up and said a few shocking words, "Listen, I can't guarantee that everyone will still be wearing Lakers jerseys by this time next year. Yes, this is the NBA. But, do you think Deng, in the rest of this season, or next season, can still get a contract of more than 1700 million? Listen, even if your heart doesn't belong here anymore, you still have to wear this jersey and play well! Because your fate is in my hands, I You can sit on the drinking fountain all the time, and you will be signed away by other teams with a minimum salary next season at most; or, you can show me your ability, even if you leave, you can still sign a big contract."

With that said, Wharton walked out of the locker room, leaving a sentence that reminded people, "So, what kind of contract do you want?"
