Chapter 65 [Breaking the enemy in the playoffs fiercely]

After talking about Yang Jian, George Carl emphasized tactics again.

"Gary's ball control organization, Sean and PJ provided Yang with no ball cover. After he received the ball, Sean cut into the inside empty space. Yang attracted the assisted defense and passed the ball. If the inside was not assisted, you can take a long and medium range. Detreff stood outside the three-point line to attract the defense. You don't feel good today, so you can shoot again if you have a good chance."

George Carl did not forget that the team's boss is Payton, and added. "Gary can also take the ball and attack by himself, attracting double-team passes. We not only want to win this game, but also strive to win the Lakers."

There is no better home opening game than this to beat the playoff enemy. The Supersonics need to win the hearts of fans in this way, and they disappointed Seattle fans last season.

The game continued, and veteran Seidel Tret slowly organized the offense.

Payton made trash talk to his old teammates. "Why are you so slow? Are you weak and kidney deficiency? I don't even dare to touch you, don't die suddenly on the court."

Seidel: "Farke Squid!"

If you come out and get it, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

Seidel and Payton were teammates for one season in the 1990-91 season, and their relationship was bad. Seidel was actually squeezed away by Payton and left the Supersonics. The two were not suitable for starting together, and the coach wanted to train Payton.

After that, Seidel fought against Payton every time, and beat Payton many times. In the 93-94 season, he scored 28 points and 7 assists, while Payton, who was defending, only scored 4 points and 7 assists in the whole game.

Now Seidel is no longer able to do it, and it would be hard to dribble the ball over halftime by Payton. If it weren't for his teammates' response, he might have violated the rules in 8 seconds.

Cebaros received the ball from the outside, and Yang Jian also stepped forward to press, forcing him to pass the ball with two steps.

Looking at the performance of the players on the court, fans who just turned on the TV would mistakenly think that the Lakers were the one who led the score, and the Supersonics were eager to chase points. In this unfavorable situation, Eddie Jones also lost his head and singles Schramf made a quick stop and jump shot missed.

Kemp grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break, and Payton quickly led the half. He saw that Seidel retreated more and made a three-pointer missed. Schramf grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and his second attack caused Jones to foul.

Schramff has a high ball quotient and a poor feel, he can think of ways to adjust. He is a big man with a height of 206cm and often plays as a power forward. When playing for the Pacers, he averaged 2.5 and 2.6 frontcourt rebounds per game in two seasons.

But his feel is so bad. He is not sure about free throws today, and he made one of two free throws. 73 to 54.

The Lakers attacked, Campbell received the ball from a low post and was double-teamed again, and was divided and passed to Jones. Jones passed by Cebaros again. Cebaros was not easy to take action by Yang Jian, so he passed by Cederell again.

Seeing that the 24-second offensive time was approaching, Seidel forced a jump shot and scored a three-pointer under the interference of Payton.

Seidel has not made several three-pointers in his entire career. He only started to try to shoot from the outside after the NBA's three-point line was shortened. Such an offense could not pose a threat at all, and Kemp grabbed the rebound.

In the supersonic position battle, Yang Jian received the ball in the three-point line by covering the cover, and Cebaros was around. Yang Jianyun took the ball and turned around and jumped backwards, and the ball was knocked off.

When it comes to someone who uses Yang Jian to swing his arms and loop for the first time, most of them will be hit. Yang Jian knows that he has scored 28 points and that the team has too much lead and may be replaced. He wants to score 30 as soon as possible.

Yang Jian's free throw has always been very stable, with a soft touch, and he made both free throws. 75 to 54.

Jack Carter lamented: "Yang scored 15 points in a single quarter, scoring 30 points. In the first two games of his career, only he and Chamberlain are outside players. Yang is a wider range of scoring methods. In addition to dunks and jump shots, his European breakthroughs have also left a deep impression."

Aaron Miles smiled and said: "Cebalos has no temper anymore. After being fouled, he shook his head on the sidelines. The Lakers were 21 points behind in the game and basically lost their suspense. If Young were in the team last season, the Lakers would probably be swept by the supersonics in the first round."

Jack disagrees with this statement. "If Young had been on the team last season, the two teams would not have met in the first round. The Supersonics are likely to have the best record in the Western Conference this season, and their lineup has no obvious weakness."

The Lakers attacked, Campbell made a strong shot from the left low post and missed a shot. Miller grabbed the frontcourt rebound on the right and made a one-handed basketball score. 75 to 56.

Supersonic attack, Yang Jian ran without the ball to attract defense, Payton and Kemp played pick-and-roll and got out of Sedale, breaking through and making a basketball goal. 77 to 56.

Seidel's ability has declined year by year, and his temper is still there, so he immediately wants to return Payton. He and Campbell played pick-and-roll, and moved sideways for two points and jump shot missed.

The two inside players of the Supersonics did not assist in defense and were ready to grab the rebound. The two big men easily got the backcourt rebounds, and Campbell couldn't squeeze into the basket after cutting.

In the supersonic positional battle, Yang Jian took the ball outside the three-point line and couldn't take action immediately. Miller assisted the defense very much. Yang Jian dribbled the ball and found a gap to pass the ball to Camp, who broke into the basket and caused Campbell's fourth foul.

Kemp made both free throws, 79 to 56.

Kamp also played well, and when he returned to defense, he also gave Yang Jian a thumbs up. He liked this rhythmic game, and he didn't have to rush to the front when taking a fast break. It was very comfortable to catch the ball in the positional battle and did not take a lot of effort to get the ball.

Previously, Kemp averaged double rebounds per game for four consecutive seasons, with an astonishing number of rebounds in the frontcourt, with the largest number of rebounds in the season. His backcourt rebounds were not too many, with a maximum of seven. After Yang Jian joined, he had a premonition that his rebounds this season would hit a career high.

The Lakers attacked, and Cebaros received the ball and jumped into a three-pointer, but he still missed the game under the interference of Yang Jian.

The touch was so slimy that he had to shoot more, which was Cebaros' last stubbornness. He was also outrageous in the last game, and he almost killed the Lakers with 5 mistakes. He only scored 26 points with a free throw of 12 of 12 shots.

PJ Brown grabbed the rebound, and Payton stabilized the rhythm and led the half. He did not seek cover, and he singled out Dale with the ball and scored another jump shot. 81 to 56.

The Lakers attacked, and Cebaros singled the ball from the outside. He dribbled under his crotch and dribbled behind the back and changed to jump into the middle. With the interference of the eye blocking, he finally scored a .81-59.

Aaron smiled and said, "Cebalos finally made a shot from the outside. He scored a little late, making 1 of 7 three-pointers."

Jack said: "If he didn't play like this, the Lakers might not be so much behind. He just wanted to compete with Yang. No matter whether the team won or lost, he wouldn't have an assist in this game."

Supersonic attack, Yang Jian did not get a phone call when he received the ball from the running position, and passed it to Schramf, who was receiving the ball and jumped in the middle. This time he grasped the rhythm very well and entered the net with a hollow! 84 to 59.

Schramf finally scored a goal from outside the three-point line, making 1 of 4 shots. The Lakers players were so cold that they were so cool that the Supersonics were blooming at multiple points, and they couldn't defend themselves.

Yang Jian played the third quarter and did not score again in the second half. He received the ball and made a strong three-pointer missed. The Supersonics scored 34 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers 26 points 90-64.

The competition was no longer suspense, and the starters of the supersonics in the last quarter were clocked in and got off work together.

Too many leads to the bench is an unspoken rule for the NBA, which is to save face for the loser. If the star leads the big score and continues to play, the opponent's defensive action may cause conflicts if he is excited. It is not impossible for the star to score points in garbage time, and it is relatively rare.

The Lakers also sent a substitute lineup, with veterans Seidel and Divac playing. This is not to make data clear. If the Lakers rest both towers, Miller, who is 206cm tall, will play as a guest center, and there will be big problems on the defensive end.

The Supersonics' substitute was led by Elvin Johnson and Sam Perkins. They both played important rotations for a long time last season. Vincent Icechu was also good at being a substitute small forward.

The Supersonics continued to play against the Lakers, and the score difference quickly widened to more than 30 points.

Seidel did not take advantage of Snow's single-handed fight today and frequently made irons. Snow's defensive ability was developed by Yang Jianqing, and he had no pressure to face defenders with average speed. His defensive ability was recognized by the coaching staff.

Edwards and Acechu scored one three-pointer each, and Perkins scored two three-pointers. The supersonics still blossomed at multiple points in the final quarter, and the formation was very organized.

In the end, 117 to 82, the Supersonics slaughtered the Lakers at home!
