Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 246 Lopez Explodes

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Shaw became the acting coach.

He used Lonzo, rested almost an entire game of Pope, Ingram, Kuzma and Bogut's lineup.

The Thunder replaced Robertson with Felton. After all, Robertson was good for nothing but defense!What the Thunder need most now is a stable scoring point!

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook broke through at the top of the arc, and missed a jumper with an emergency stop.Melon got the rebound, pushed Kuzma, turned around and missed a jumper!
But Adams got the rebound again!
Give it to George on the left wing and make a three-pointer!Still miss!

"Laugh! This kind of opportunity!" Yang Yi shook his head helplessly.

Su Qun looked embarrassed, "With such a low shooting percentage, the Lakers are almost giving away warmth. If they can't win this victory, they will die of laughter!"

The game continues.George missed the shot, and Bogut finally got the rebound, and gave it to Lonzo to attack with the ball.Lonzuo at the top of the arc came by himself, and missed a three-pointer after chasing him!
The Thunder got the rebound and started a fast break.

Westbrook made a breakthrough, but both Bogut and Kuzma quickly returned to the basket, Westbrook could only make an emergency stop at the free throw line for a jumper!
It's embarrassing!A few meters away jump shot, still missed!

Melon burst out from the back, jumped up, and made a direct tip!It is finally time to break the deadlock for the fourth quarter!

At this time, Wharton and Jiang Dashan were sitting in the locker room, one in front and one behind, watching the live TV.

With a sigh, Jiang Dashan said, "I really didn't expect this to happen. I will definitely say a few words at the press conference later!"

"That will be fined! You may also be suspended!" Wharton shook his head, "It's not necessary. Even if you say it, it won't change anything. Let's see if they can bring good news!" Wharton pointed to the TV.

Ever since, the locker room fell silent again.

There are 5 minutes left in the game.

At this time, the Lakers and the Thunder are still tied, 102 to 102, and the shooting percentage of the two teams is not high.

But at this time, the Thunder's fatigue has been exposed.

Westbrook made a mistake and dropped the ball. Lonzo made a fast break with the ball and gave it to Ingram who followed up on the weak side. Ingram directly hung up and scored!

Donovan called a timeout.

Re-enable Robertson, who is excellent defensively but weak offensively.

"The Thunder are getting tired now, and with Robertson replaced, the Big Three model has begun... If someone from the Lakers can stand up in this period of time, then the Lakers may win the game against the Thunder again!" Su Qun nodded in agreement when he heard Yang Yi's words.

Shaw made the last gamble, Randall replaced Ingram, Lopez replaced Bogut, and Pope replaced Clarkson.

The two teams returned to the game, and the Thunder attacked.

Westbrook took the ball to the top of the arc, dribbled a circle by himself, and broke through!

Being Lonzo's very good card owner.

The breakthrough was fruitless, and there was not much time left in the attack. Westbrook passed the ball to George on the left wing. George took two tentative steps, and then faced Kuzma with a three-pointer, but missed!

At the critical moment, the Lakers protected the rebound and Randall got it.

"Xiao's substitution is really crucial. As soon as he came up, Randall got the key rebound! If this goal is scored, the pressure will be on the Thunder!" Yang Yi smiled, and Su Qun also nodded.

In the locker room, Wharton completely lost the seriousness of the coach, while Jiang Dashan was eating popcorn and Coke while watching.

"Good job! Rebound!" "Offensive attack!" The two watched happily.

On the field, the Lakers attacked, Lonzo slowed down the rhythm very well, and his teammates quickly settled down.

Lopez came out to pick and roll!Lonzo made a breakthrough in the middle and only took 3 steps. With a pass back, Lopez caught the ball at the top of the arc and shot it.

"Good shot! Lopez hit a three-pointer! The Lakers lead by 5 points!" Yang Yi clapped his hands and applauded.

"The Thunder are a little weak now. The Lakers are pretty good. Lopez hasn't played for long, and Pope is even worse! And Randall, it's time for a counterattack!" Su Qun also showed joy, "It depends on whether the Thunder can hold on!"

"Well, look at the Thunder's offense. Adams came out to pick and roll, and Westbrook made a breakthrough! He made a quick stop for a jumper, and finally scored a goal!"

"For the Lakers, Lonzo made a fast break and went straight to the basket! Westbrook caught up, passed back, and Lopez chased for a three-pointer! Then hit! Adams' physical strength is really bad, he can't run at all! As long as Westbrook and George run and run, Anthony's physical strength is gone! Let alone defending Robertson for the entire game!"

"The Thunder team is enough!" Yang Yi said sunny.

Westbrook came to the top of the arc with the ball, Adams came out to pick and roll, Westbrook broke through and made an emergency stop, and continued to do it himself!Finally hit a two-pointer!

But then the Lakers made a fast break, and Lonzo used his speed to rush directly to the basket, and then passed back to Pope on the left. Pope didn't stick the ball, and directly passed it to Lopez who was running at the top of the arc. Lopez turned around and made another three-pointer!

"Lopez made a three-pointer again! Great shot! There are more!" Yang Yi and Su Qun almost dropped their jaws in shock, "Lopez, it has been silent for the whole game, and finally broke out! The last game was also Lopez, who broke out in the fourth quarter. The Lakers beat the Thunder at home."

The game between the two teams continued.

In the Lakers locker room, both Wharton and Jiang Dashan looked comfortable.

"J, are you not worried about losing the game?" Wharton asked Jiang Dashan.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, it's good to enter the playoffs this year!" Jiang Dashan smiled.

On the field, Westbrook's breakthrough was blocked again, and the ball was given to Anthony, who missed a three-pointer!
Adams desperately grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to the left wing George.

George made another three-pointer, but still missed!
Lopez gets the rebound.to pop.

Pope gave it to Lonzo again, held the ball to the top of the arc, and gave it to Randall in an air cut. Randall made a layup. Adams was almost powerless to resist, and obediently gave up his position.

"Adams is really tired, otherwise the ball can definitely be defended." Yang Yi and Su Qun looked at each other, "The Thunder team attacked, and Westbrook continued to break through and score the ball! It shouldn't be. I think George and Anthony Gay of the Thunder team stood up at this time. At the same time, Westbrook should give the ball to them to play instead of playing by himself. When there is no time to attack, pass out and shoot three-pointers or just come in. This kind of efficiency is really not high!"

1 minute and 20 seconds before the end of the game, Lopez hit a three-pointer from the right corner again, and the score also came to 118 to 108.

Westbrook made a direct three-pointer with the ball at the top of the arc and missed!
The Lakers had a wave of fast breaks, and the weak side Kuzma made a layup with the ball.

"12 points difference! The Thunder seem to have not given up! It's Westbrook again! Chasing three points! Missed! It shouldn't be like this! Organize it anyway! Adams rebounded in the frontcourt, gave it out, George made a three-pointer, missed! 45 seconds! No chance! Randall rebounded, protect it, give Lonzo, Kuzma an air cut, pass the ball! Give Lopez who has been waiting at the top of the arc, 3 points! Is there! And! No more, this game is gone! Thunder No offense anymore... the game is over, the Lakers beat the Thunder 121-108 away!"

"The problem of the Thunder team is really big. Westbrook's style of play makes it difficult for the Big Three to play a role. Sometimes, you need to attack; but at the critical moment, how to deal with the ball is the biggest problem that the Thunder team needs to solve. If it continues like this, Westbrook's singles, then it's better to use single-core mode! George, Anthony, they can all be used for singles. They are not pure shooters. The offensive mode is too simple, Thunder!" Su Qun couldn't help complaining.

"Indeed! I think the Thunder should learn from the Warriors. When should Curry hold the ball, when should Durant organize or Green organize? Section 5 did a good job! The Thunder, anyway, have no chemical reaction, can't cooperate, and feel that the problem lies in control, not ball possession!" Yang Yi commented, "Finally, congratulations to the Lakers. With Dashan and Walton both sent off, Lopez stood up again, hit 8 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and scored 6 of 17. [-] points, turning the tide of the battle!"

. . .

At the press conference, Walton expressed his personal opinion on the referee's penalty, "I think we played a good game today, especially when there were fewer two players fighting!" The audience burst into laughter, "Yes, I think some of the referee's penalties are not very good. Yes, I hope that we can receive more fair penalties in every game! Everyone knows how many Ts J has eaten recently! And it is always because of actions that cannot be regarded as fouls at all!"

Jiang Dashan directly expressed his opinion, "I think the referee who is enforcing the law is blind. I didn't even touch anyone, and he could give fouls! Especially the last one who was expelled from the field! Although we won the game in the end, I still want to say, fuck you!"

This remark was unanimously agreed by the media, domineering!

The league imposed a fine of $5 on Jiang Dashan.However, the league did make a mistake and did not issue a suspension.This made the Lakers management breathe a sigh of relief.
