Chapter 709 Clay and Leonard are two rookies shining on the court!
Both sides are still in a rotational lineup.
Phil Jackson continued to play with two rookies, Klay Thompson and Leonard, and Yao also was on the court.
undoubtedly.
Yao Yao is the core of offense and defense in this lineup.
Fans have some questions. Klay Thompson clearly did not perform at the end of the first quarter, and he didn't even have the chance to shoot, so why did Phil replace him?
Is there no one available for the Lakers bench?
Obviously not.
There were also two strong players, Fisher and Matt Barnes, sitting on the bench.
I have no idea about Phil Jackson's intention to use people. Is he really training rookies in the regular season?
That would be too bold.
You know, the opponent is the runner-up Heat last season!
The Heat took the lead in attacking.
Norris Cole dribbled through half the game and then passed it to James.
After resting for more than a minute at the end of the last quarter, James went on the game again.
There is no way, the team's bench depth is not enough, so it can only increase the playing time of the core players.
Besides, James is in excellent competitive state in this game, so he naturally has to play more.
James held the ball in the arc and forced a breakthrough against Leonard's defense.
In the eyes of James, Leonard's defense is useless.
It's just a young boy who has just emerged from the cottage. It's time to teach him a lesson!
James's thoughts flashed and he became excited.
Teaching newcomers is something that the old superstars in the league enjoy doing.
However, just as he was breaking through and preparing to jump shot, a huge palm suddenly blocked his sight.
James was shocked immediately, feeling like he saw the savage's hand, and his mind was shocked and his shooting was gone.
The basketball hit the basket with a "bang" and bounced back.
Yao Yao protected the backcourt rebound and then passed it to Curry. After the latter dribbled through half the court, he did not rush to attack, but waited patiently for Yao Yao to run into the penalty area and then began to launch tactics.
As long as Yao Yao is on the court, the Lakers will try to slow down the pace and give Yao Yao time to move.
Curry shook his wrist and hung the basketball high to Yao in the penalty area. The latter hit Haslem without any shaking fake moves. He turned around and jumped into the net again.
Simple, direct, effective!
There is no intention of looking down on Haslem, but there is really no need to make unnecessary technical moves. If it is really no need, why waste your energy?
"Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, again, he really dominated the game! The little Chinese giant's dominance in the penalty area is really too strong!"
Barkley exclaimed, completely impressed by Yao's performance.
"It's really worth it for the Lakers to sign Yao Da! I remember when this signing happened, many media and basketball experts gave the transaction ratings of only B. Now Yao Da slapped them in the face with his strength. After this game, we can see what they will say!"
Reggie Miller also said, resentful about Yao.
"It depends on whether Yao Yao can stay healthy now! If he stays healthy, the Lakers' strength will really increase!"
Barkley also said, with a little concern in his tone.
Dayao's ankle injury is well known.
Many NBA players feel sorry for Yao Dayao. If he had not participated in the 2008 Olympics without recovering from injuries and recovering from recovery, Yao Dayao would definitely not have had this situation.
But Yao Yao was determined to go his own way, with a passionate heart, and resolutely returned to China and led the Chinese men's basketball team to the Olympics!
Everyone knows what happened later. With Jiang Chen's outbreak, the Chinese team became a dark horse and made rapid progress. They defeated the powerful Mengba team and won the gold medal in the Olympics.
The Chinese team has also created a miracle in sports history.
On the court.
The Heat attack.
James didn't believe in evil and signaled everyone to pull the ball away after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, and wanted to play Leonard alone.
After knowing that Leonard had a pair of perverted big hands, James became cautious. After continuous exploring and attempting, he suddenly broke through from the right.
At this moment, there was only a crisp sound.
The basketball flew out of James's hands.
James immediately stood there, his face full of incredible expressions.
I was actually stolen by a rookie?
This is really incredible!
The Heat players also stood up one after another and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Leonard had already dribbled the ball for halftime and rushed to the penalty area with one dragon, easily completing a dive without defense.
"Excellent steal! This rookie's defense is really eye-catching! James was restricted for two consecutive rounds in the first game of his career, and there was another steal!"
Barkley said in amazement, his eyes lit up as well.
"Compared with Klay Thompson's performance, this Leonard really makes people see his potential!"
Reggie Miller said too.
On the sidelines, Spoo shouted to James: "Hey, man, what's the matter? Now it's a good opportunity to overtake the score and establish a lead! Don't make any mistakes, be serious!"
In Spoel's view, James was able to limit a rookie because he was too careless and underestimated the enemy.
After all, it was not Jiang Chen who defended him, but just a rookie.
James nodded, murderous intent spreading on his body, and his eyes became sharper.
You must find this place back!
Otherwise, wouldn’t I have become a stepping stone to this rookie’s fame?
The Heat attack.
Norris Cole dribbled through half the ball and passed the ball to James again, who forced a three-pointer against Leonard's defense.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish.
Hollow into the net.
After scoring the goal, James made a domineering celebration move and responded strongly.
Lakers offense.
After Curry dribbled through half the game, he broke through to the penalty area to attract the defense, then passed the ball to Klay Thompson, and then looked at him with anticipation.
Clay had no expression on his face and raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish.
Hollow into the net.
The sound of the swish net exploded like a bomb in the Staples Center Staples.
Clay, who scored the goal, was still expressionless, as if he was a cold machine without emotions.
The audience cheered, but not motivated.
After all, it is not a big deal to score a three-pointer.
The Heat attack.
James passed the ball to Norris Cole, who made a long-distance shot.
The Lakers fought back.
Curry dribbled the ball and passed the ball to Clay, who was covering the screen and outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left. The latter did not hesitate at all, and even ignored Bathir who was rushing up, raised his hand and shot another three-pointer.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish.
Once again, hollow into the net.
Two consecutive three-pointers hit!
This time, the cheers at the scene became even more intense.
Chapter completed!
