Chapter 260 Damn suspension!
After winning the Magic, the Lakers are about to face their opponents in the Western Conference playoffs, the Nuggets!Now the Lakers and Nuggets are only one game away!If the Nuggets can be won in the away game, this will undoubtedly give the Lakers a lot of confidence.

But will the road trip be so easy?
Don't forget!Jiang Dashan's suspension.

The Lakers are very happy to win the Magic.In the locker room, Ingram whistled and Lonzo tweeted. . .However, Wharton and Xiao, who were standing outside the door, looked depressed.

"Why, you want to mention this to them?" Xiao came over and asked Wharton.

"Yes, but I'm also struggling. I don't know, should I tell them that they are so happy now! Obviously, this will make them feel pressure!" Wharton replied.

"You are the coach! So, you have the final say!" After Xiao finished speaking, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and slipped away.

Wharton sighed, and pushed the door open.

"Hello coach!" The players got up one after another to greet Walton.

Wharton clapped his hands, "Today's game was very good! What I want to say is that we won easily! J scored 42 points! We are only one game away from the Nuggets!"

"Great!" "OHYEAH!  …

"We're going to play the Nuggets away the day after tomorrow!" Walton's expression was a little unnatural, his cheeks twitched, "But I want to remind everyone that J will not be with us in the next game."

"What's wrong?" The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly turned cold, and everyone looked at Jiang Dashan.

"Brothers, don't look at me! I got the eighth T today! I will be suspended for the next game!" Jiang Dashan waved his hands helplessly, "I don't want to either!"

"Uh,,, I'm sorry J, it's my fault!" Ingram was very guilty, if he didn't take the microphone, maybe it wouldn't be so much!
"Now is not the time for accountability. I want to say, I believe you can win the Nuggets! In this way, we are on the same starting line as the Nuggets! We will work hard for the playoffs!" Walton interrupted Ingram.

"We will work hard!" There was a different light in everyone's eyes.

. . .

In the evening, Jiang Dashan went home alone, while other players went to nightclubs in groups of twos and threes.

"Damn suspension! Without J, I have no idea!" Ingram and Walton said to Lonzo in the bar. . .

The same words also appeared in Jiang Dashan's mouth. At this time, Jiang Dashan was drinking juice with Wang Sicong and Xie Fengfeng, "This damn suspension! Originally, we could win the Nuggets without any pressure! Hehe!"

"Brother Shan, I'm not talking about you, you should directly put pressure on the Lakers, let that bastard, sell all these soy sauce gangs! Buy James next year, and then buy Paul George, and you can win the championship if you play casually!" Xie Fengfeng said heartlessly on the side.

"It can only be said that you have bad luck! Also, good luck! Bad luck is because your team is currently in the playoffs and it is difficult; luck is that you have enough time to control your future! Isn't it, brother Shan?" Wang Sicong had some ideas.

"Just wait for the operation of Xia Tian, ​​now, let fate!" Jiang Dashan lazily fell asleep on the backing sofa, and fell asleep after a while.

. . .

Soon it's game time.

The Pepsi Center in Denver is in full swing.As soon as the Lakers players played, they were booed by the home fans. Obviously, their competitors, especially those in the playoffs, must put pressure on them psychologically. The fans supported their team in their own way.

Soon the game started, and Jiang Dashan was sitting on the bench, wearing a sweatshirt and a down jacket, looking forward to it, but also nervous.The anticipation is to see the whole performance of the Lakers without him. After all, when he was in the hospital, he never paid attention to death, and video chatted with his family members every day; the nervousness is that he has a little distrust of his teammates!Especially the young Ingram, Lonzo and other guys who are in good and bad form. After all, during his rest period, the Lakers fell directly from the playoff team. This hole has to be filled by himself.

The Lakers started, Lonzo, Clarkson, Ingram, Parsons, Lopez.

The Nuggets started, Murray, Harris, Millsap, Chandler and Jokic.

As soon as the two sides started playing, the gap appeared, and the Lakers were obviously at a disadvantage.The breakthroughs of Murray and Harris made the defense of the Lakers Lonzo and Clarkson somewhat passive; while Ingram was severely restricted by Millsap.The Lakers only have Pashuai and Lopez who can play a little bit.

After the first quarter, the Nuggets shot 9 of 6 three-pointers with a high 62.9% shooting rate and scored 37 points!On the Lakers side, Lonzo missed all 5 shots, and Ingram only hit 8 goal from 1 shots!The key point, when Lon Zuo was around, the pass was not as generous as Jiang Dashan!On Daluo's side and Pashuai's side, there are fewer passes, and he is more inclined to young teammates.The Lakers performed mediocre, only scoring a poor 19 points in the first quarter!
Even Yang Yi and Su Qun couldn't help complaining in the studio, "Today's game is really depressing!"

"Yeah, it's very depressing! The last game was so good, and Dashan was suspended for this game. This is the situation! The Lakers really need to make a big move! Without Dashan to organize and attract firepower, the Lakers lost the most favorable firepower point. Not only that, Dashan is also a decoy. When the defensive players focus on Dashan, the Lakers have such a good three-point chance from the outside! Obviously, in the first quarter, the Lakers made too many shots. Deal with Pashuai! I think Walton must have thought of this, and I hope the Lakers can make timely adjustments in the second quarter, otherwise, this game will lose!"

At this time, on the bench, Walton was communicating with the players.Lang Zuo came to sit next to Jiang Dashan, "J, did I play badly?"

"For rookies, it's barely passable." Jiang Dashan didn't even look at Lon Zuo, "But if it's for a team that wants to enter the playoffs, your performance today may not even be good as a substitute."

Lang Zuo bowed his head and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "If you were me now, what would you do?"

"There is an old saying in China that if you are poor, you want to change! Observe the situation of the game more, CHANGE! Change your tactics! See what is the most suitable style of play!" After speaking, Jiang Dashan began to eat popcorn.

Lang Zuo originally wanted to ask something, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.At the beginning of the second quarter, Wharton made relatively big changes. Lonzo was the point guard, Kuzma was the point guard, Nance Jr. and Pashuai were the two forwards, and Lopez played the center.Only two people have been changed, but the effect is quite different.

Lang Zuo seemed to have found what Jiang Dashan wanted to express. As soon as he came on the court, he assisted Nance Jr., who made an air cut dunk.

In the second quarter, the Lakers regained their offensive rhythm, and Walton's brows stretched slightly.Kuzma, Nance Jr., and Pashuai took turns hitting the basket, while Lopez pulled out to play, allowing the Nuggets to empty the inside. Lonzo also realized that he didn't feel good. Unless he was completely open, he all chose to create opportunities for his teammates.

After halftime, the Lakers chased the score to 56 to 64, and the 18-point difference was chased to 8 points!
The second half of the game began, and the Nuggets came on as a substitute for Chinese boy Mudiay. He made 9 of 7 three-pointers and scored 21 points in a single quarter! And hit a three-pointer at the buzzer!
Walton finished the third quarter almost with a dark face.But Jiang Dashan didn't even dare to look at it.

After three quarters, the point difference was opened again. 100 to 85, 15 points behind.

"It's difficult for the Lakers!" Yang Yi and Su Qun looked frustrated.Equally frustrated are countless Lakers fans.

Damn suspension, damn referee!Everyone is yelling!

. . .

On the bench, the Lakers players were also lost.Wharton didn't say anything more, but stood aside silently.Seeing that the rest time was coming to an end and the fourth quarter was about to begin, Jiang Dashan stood up suddenly when he saw his teammates getting ready to play listlessly, "It's not just a matter of talking!" Jiang Dashan sneered, "If you want to stay, then, please let me see your value! Or let me continue to stay in the Lakers' value!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Dashan walked into the locker room without looking back.

"Dashan is angry!" Yang Yi was a little surprised, not knowing what happened.

"Maybe I can't stand it anymore, but what Dashan said before leaving! We don't know, but obviously, there are not some good words! It can be seen from Dashan's face! The fans at the scene booed Dashan who left early. But Dashan didn't take it seriously!" Su Qun continued, "Okay, let's watch the fourth quarter. The Lakers sent out the impact lineup for the second quarter!"

Back in the locker room, Jiang Dashan saw Xiao who came after him.

"Are you worried that Wharton will lose his temper with you?" Xiao glanced at Jiang Dashan, who was hesitant to speak, "Wharton told you, just take it easy! He knows that you want to motivate your teammates."

Jiang Dashan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not terrible to lose. What's terrible is that you can't find hope! The 76ers have found hope this year after so many years, Embiid and Simmons. The hope of the Lakers can't be just me, or slowly, this team will become like Thomas Jr.'s Celtics!"

"We all understand!" Xiao and Jiang Dashan sat side by side, watching the TV screen in the locker room.

Maybe it was Jiang Dashan's words that stimulated everyone. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers began to fight back tenaciously!

At this time, Parsons, who had just joined the Lakers, stepped forward.

In the fourth quarter, Parsons scored 12 of 11 and scored 26 points in a single quarter!At the same time, 3 blocks and 2 steals were sent to help the Lakers rewrite the score to a 120-120 tie at the last moment!
In the last 8 seconds, the Nuggets had the ball, Millsap sent a sideline kick, and the ball floated directly to Murray in the bottom corner. No, Pashuai came out again and intercepted the ball in mid-air!Send it to Lonzo!

This ball was hot, and Lonzuo's heart broke out in a cold sweat!Lonzo, who was 10 out of 1 in the audience, had the ball in his hand like a hot potato!
At this time, there were still three seconds left in the clock, and the boos of the home fans had already given to Lonzo who ran to halftime with the ball!

There was no one else around Lonzo, and his teammates were all waiting for Lonzo's final attack!
I can only come by myself!

Taking a step from the center line, catching the inertia, Lonzo leaped high and threw the ball to the basket!

At this point, all the fans stood up.

The benches of the Lakers and Nuggets all stood up.

Jiang Dashan and Xiao stood up in the locker room, watched the ball, and slowly flew towards the basket!
