0130: [Parallel Olog Candi]

Whether God sent Bruce down to save the world is unknown.

However, since the Lakers changed their lineup, their offense and defense have become smoother.

Although...the Celtics are attacking the purple and gold's three major perimeters, especially Lagarondo, who uses his physical advantage to continuously launch hand-to-hand attacks on Li Zhen. But...the effect is not good.

The reason is: LaGarondo is not a shooting player at all. His big hands can do many things, but he can't hit a pull-up jumper after squeezing away the defense.

This made him quite depressed.

Equally depressed is Bruce.

Bruce was unhappy that he was repeatedly passed by LaGarondo with the same move on the defensive end, even though LaGarondo failed to throw the basketball into the basket after passing him.

In addition, on the offensive end, he could not defeat LaGarrondo's defense one-on-one, even though competitive basketball is a sport of five people.

However, others can beat you, but you cannot beat others. No matter how good the offensive rhythm is, Lagarondo still has the upper hand on the scene.

Therefore, Earl Johnson couldn't help but said in the commentary box: "Bruce's passing ability and speed are indeed better than La Gallondo. However, if you ask me who of these two has better prospects and is more suitable to survive in the NBA.

My answer is LaGarondo. His defensive ability is far better than Bruce Lee, and his body thickness is more suitable for the NBA. Most importantly, his organizational skills are also very good."

"As for Bruce, he has nothing to do against Lagarondo now. Lagarondo's current defensive level can only barely reach the passing line in the NBA. Moreover, the confrontation in the NBA's paint area is more intense, and he can easily weigh 300 pounds.

In such a confrontation, do you think he can still pass the ball so calmly?"

Earl Johnson meant it all.

People who didn't know thought the Lakers were defeated by the Celtics.

But in fact, the Lakers already led by 15 points before halftime.

Although Bruce couldn't get rid of LaGarondo on his own, Turiaf and Eddie Griffin cooperated extremely beautifully with him. Especially Eddie Griffin, the pick-and-roll cooperation between them can be called a replica of Phoenix.

As a space forward, he received meticulous care from Bruce: every ball was ironed and delivered to his hands. He didn't need to adjust at all, he could shoot with just a raise of his hand.

Eddie Griffin feels as smooth as ever. Since his debut, he has played with the Rockets and Timberwolves.

But both teams used him as a defensive player and didn't take many shots.

Because neither the Rockets system nor the Timberwolves system gave him enough offensive tactics.

But tonight, Bruce fed him unlimited firepower.

He finally played like a superstar.

And because Eddie Griffin completely released this point, the Celtics focused on one thing and lost the other. Turiaf followed suit in the penalty area, and Turiaf and Vujacic on the outside. Under Bruce's wonderful pass, they

Gradually integrate into the system and find the status.

The Boston coaching staff requested a timeout with 1 minute left in the second quarter.

Although...the outcome of the summer league is not important, we can't let the Lakers continue to do whatever they want. Therefore, they replaced the most senior player on the team: Michael Ologkandi.

As the No. 1 pick in 1998, Ologkandi brought the definition of "revolutionary" to parallel imports.

Born in Nigeria, he has the perfect body shape of an inside player, but... his nickname is "Candy Man", which means he is as soft and slimy as candy.

Since joining the league in 1998, he has averaged 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. As an insider, his shooting percentage is only 43.5%, which is lower than ordinary outsiders.

That's why, after eight years of playing professionally, he still appears in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Of course, Michael Ologkandi is not troubled by this. He has a good mentality. He is not as depressed as Kwame Brown. He is willing to be the No. 1 pick who is ridiculed by the crowd. Anyway, the salary will not be less.

My own. What's more, the beauties here in Las Vegas are really great! Why not travel with public funds?

When his name was called, he was obviously in a daze.

Then assistant coach Hobbs told him: "These young guys follow their opponents too easily. Next, you have to control the penalty area. As long as we stick to our position and attack, we can slowly regain our advantage."

The coaching team hopes that he can return the rhythm of the game to positional attack mode.

Orogkandi nodded repeatedly.

He could definitely do this, because he couldn't run at all, and his legs were still weak from last night's craziness.

Hobbs still has great trust in Ologkandi. Although this guy is a parallel import in the NBA, he will definitely be a superstar in his own right in the summer league. Look at Eddie Griffin on the opposite side. Isn’t he also a parallel import?

Ah, I am still a natural prick. Now I am still arrying everyone.

Therefore, Hobbs then told the outside players: "Bruce Lee can be double-teamed in advance. He is the initiator of the Purple and Gold Army's offense. If he is restricted, the Lakers' fast offensive will automatically collapse."

Although they are 15 points behind, the Celtics coaching team still has great confidence in this.

Because the shortcomings of the No. 3 pick are as dazzling as his advantages, the next step is to seize his shortcomings and prevent him from forming a quick attack in the half court, or even strangle him beyond the three-point line.

The offensive evaporated.

At the same time, Kobe Bryant in front of the TV no longer cares about winning or losing.

When the Celtics requested a timeout, he received a call from Phil Jackson.

The veteran coach, who is vacationing in Maine, is also very concerned about Bruce's debut, even though it is an inconsequential summer league game.

When he saw Bruce getting furious on the court, he directly drove the uncooperative players off the court, and then quickly formed his own team. He teamed up with Eddie Griffin, Turiaf and others to launch a quick offensive and use amazing pick-and-rolls.

After killing the Bostonians in a run-and-gun style, he became uncontrollably excited.

He called Kobe: "Hurry up and watch the TNT channel."

When Kobe answered him, he had already looked at it.

The two immediately discussed excitedly: "He is so suitable for our offensive system. Whether it is personality or style of play. That idiot Earl Johnson actually said that Bruce will not be able to adapt to NBA confrontation after arriving in the NBA. We don't need it at all.

His confrontation! His position in the triangle offense is very special, he is a transfer station for the ball!! Moreover, his speed is so amazing, the speed of our defensive counterattack will once again increase. The most important thing is that his run and gun concept is so skillful

.Just imagine, our second team no longer has to worry about offensive firepower..."

Phil Jackson became more and more excited as he spoke.

It's been a long, long time since he's been so excited about a player.

After all, he is an ace coach who has won 9 championship rings.

In fact, Kobe was even more excited than him. He was even thinking: If we had Bruce last season, it would definitely not be a problem for us to pass the Phoenix Suns in the first round. We could even compete with them!!

At the same time, the whistle sounded and the game continued.

When Earl Johnson saw Ologkandi walk onto the court, he immediately exclaimed: "With Ologkandi on the court, the days of Bruce Lee getting into the paint on pick-and-roll screens are gone.

Ologkandi is a true NBA-level center. He is not one of those fringe players who come to try out. He will bring the intensity of the game to the NBA level, just like the Lakers put Eddie Griffin on the court...

…”

Earl Johnson has high hopes for Ologkandi.

As Cammy, he really hopes that Boston can win this game.

"Didn't you say before that it was unfair for the Lakers to replace Eddie Griffin? Now, the Celtics have replaced Ologkandi, a center with more seniority than Eddie Griffin." Kenny Smith couldn't help but feel sour.

His words.

"The Lakers can use it, and so can we, and we are counterattacking in self-defense, and the Lakers will bear the consequences." Earl Johnson said confidently.

He believes that Michael Ologkandi, as a center who has been practicing in the NBA for so many years, is not like a god coming down to play in the summer league. A player like Eddie Griffin who squanders his talent to the extreme can be so arrogant and strong, let alone

The number one scholar of the year.

However, when they were talking.

Celtics offensive error.

At that time, Lagarondo had completely knocked Li Zhen away and attracted Turiaf's defense. At this moment, he passed the basketball to Ologkandi who was half-empty in the penalty area.

But Ologkandi made a mistake.

He didn't catch the basketball!!!

Although Bruce rushed over to steal and bumped into him, no matter what, it would not cause the basketball in his hand to drop!!

Do all top picks in parallel imports have bad hands?

Strange thoughts appeared in the mind of Black Mamba in front of the TV.

At the same time, Bruce on the TV actually showed a bright smile.

Is he laughing at Ologkandy's buttery hands too?

At the same time, Vujacic passed the ball to Li Zhen.

Bruce immediately attacked with the ball, but just as he was about to start, Celtic's LaGarondo pounced on him.

He entangled Li Zhen and prevented Li Zhen from showing his speed advantage.

He is confident in himself because he did not miss a single shot in this game. He knows that Bruce's strengths lie in ball control, flexibility and speed.

However, as long as he is trapped, his speed will not be able to expand.

He can only passively fall into the defensive swamp, and then wait for his teammates to come over to pick and roll.

But... in this way, the Lakers' fast offensive automatically collapsed, and our team's big center Ologkandi also successfully established his defensive position.

But... when Lagarondo approached him, he immediately felt something different.

as if….
