What makes it difficult for the Lakers is that although the Nets are not as good as them in some places, their opponents are very resilient!

This is very reminiscent of the 2014 Bucks.

At that time, Kidd had just arrived in Milwaukee, and Li Feng had just arrived in the NBA. The resilience shown by the Bucks at that time made their fans really unhappy!

Atkinson made timely adjustments and focused his offense on the outside.

In this way, we will score a three-pointer against the Lakers!

The first quarter ended at 31:29! The Lakers only had 2 points more than their opponents!

The Lakers have Li Feng, and the Nets also have their Jeremy Lin this season.

And Lin is very good at rhythm control! Li Feng is obviously not as good as him yet.

But the fans didn’t care about that in this game!

Li Feng does not have as good a rhythm as Jamie Lin, but Li Feng’s score is very impressive!!

The characteristics of the two people were fully demonstrated in this game!

Atkinson: "In this game, if the score stays like this, we can go for it. But it's like the Lakers' game against the Suns.

In that situation, the main thing is to avoid injury. I told you last night.

The Brooklyn Nets don't have many chips to enter the top eight in the Eastern Conference. If the players are repeatedly injured, they won't have to play this season..."

In recent seasons, team coaches have paid more and more attention to players' health issues.

Because a large number of players are injured every season! Some are immediately reimbursed for the season at the beginning of the season, while others start to get injured after playing for a period of time.

No matter what kind of injury it is, it has received the attention of league managers.

The coaches of these teams just have different attitudes towards such issues.

The weaker a team is but wants to make the playoffs, the more factors they need to control!

This is also the reason why the coaches of some teams hovering around eighth place are generally stricter.

If not, the team may simply scrap the season.

Looking at the Lakers' momentum in the first quarter and the overall performance of the Lakers this season, Atkinson still doesn't have much confidence in them.

Although the Lakers are still very controversial in the outside world! But in his opinion, this team has already half-stepped into the ranks of super teams!

Walton: "Winning or losing depends on it. Anyway, I won't care too much about you in this game.

But what I want to emphasize is that there is still half of the regular season. But there is not much time left for us. This game is just one point, each of you!

They all gave me the feeling and experience of controlling the rhythm of the field. Also, if I can guard against the opponent's rhythm, that's all.

A good game rhythm and a lot of rebounds can allow us to take the initiative in the game!!"

The players were a little fascinated. Walton didn't make any arrangements after they came back, but just told them what was the most important thing about the game.

He was like a speaker, speaking passionately to his players.

This season, every Lakers player can feel the energy in Walton, the young coach!

Full of enthusiasm and expectations for this season! Not only did he use this enthusiasm in the tactical arrangements of the game, but he also used this enthusiasm in shouting at each other with the referee...

Li Feng looked away slightly at this time. He would not do what Walton asked. And he also has privileges. In the team, he and Kobe can both change tactics on the court.

Coming back from the second quarter, the Nets' lineup is Lopez, Scola, Bojan, Dinwiddie and Whitehead.

On the Lakers side are Randle, Luol Deng, Ingram, Li Feng and Calderon.

During this period, Calderon basically stayed as the Lakers' third-team point guard.

He has been training with the team, and Calderon can also feel Walton's care for him during the intra-team competition.

In every intra-team competition, Calderon played the entire game!

Walton usually communicates with him because he knows that Calderon is an experienced point guard!

In his peak period, when he played for the Raptors, he received a very impressive number of assists! As for the team, Li Feng and he are both pretty good in terms of organization!

But Calderon should have more experience than Li Feng.

At the beginning of the game, the Nets' defense was fierce.

At the forward line, Scola and Bojan both have good offensive abilities. But Lopez's personal ability is nothing to say!

Li Feng didn't have many chances to get the basketball, so he quickly passed the ball to Ingram, who couldn't make a mid-range jumper!

Lopez directly got the rebound, then dribbled the basketball himself, and then passed the ball to Dinwiddie.

The latter faced Calderon's defense, easily passed by and rushed to the frontcourt. Whitehead took the ball and bypassed Li Feng's defense and hit a 2-pointer from close range!

Atkinson frowned, but nodded when he saw his team's players handling the ball in this round.

Almost all Nets players have felt the strictness of Coach Atkinson this season.

Sometimes one of your mistakes may directly anger him, and then he will yell at you from the sidelines.

Then some annoying people will tell you what you did wrong just now. But these newcomers to the Nets generally won't refute.

Because they know that when the team coach always corrects your mistakes, the first thing that proves is that he thinks you have a place in the team.

And he thinks you can reach a certain height, so he will come over and give personal guidance when he is anxious.

Just like when he was an assistant coach many years ago, but now he cares more about the team because he is already a coach.

Calderon: "Why do the Nets think they have become so much better this season?"

Li Feng: "Indeed. Because of their team's coach and Jeremy Lin, there are many key players in the team.

Ingram! You and Calderon organize the team together! We are just waiting for you two to feed us~"

The young Ingram nodded immediately and ran over! Then Calderon threw the basketball into the Orioles.

After Calderon passed the ball, he glanced at Li Feng. This young man can now easily command the Lakers players!

During the chat, I heard from my teammates that Clarkson couldn’t do this last season.

After Ingram and Calderon organized the game together, the Lakers' overall game rhythm suddenly increased!

Calderon could feel the team's instability in rhythm, but the increased speed at this time did put a lot of pressure on the Brooklyn players!
Chapter completed!
