This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 614

"Of course, I have full confidence in tonight's game, we are all, we know our goals, this is a game we have to win."

This year's Christmas battle was held in Los Angeles. During the news interview during the warm-up before the game, James was full of pride in front of reporters.

He has reasons for saying so, and he also has the confidence to say so.

Although Cousins has been holding a high free card, after a season of running-in, coupled with Davis' excellent attendance this season, the Lakers now have the first record in the league.

That's right, 2 more wins than the Nets, who are currently at the top of the Eastern Conference.

So even though what Fu Paul said at the beginning failed to come true, he still regained his confidence.

Tonight was the night he strengthened that confidence, and he was sure of it.

In the stands, the president of the Nets, Walkendian, also came to the scene.

He looked sad.

First, because Prokhorov has communicated with him about the idea of planning to sell the team in the future, it may be a year or two sooner.

Ordinary bosses don't tell team employees about this kind of thing in advance, at most they just inform them, but Prokhorov is obviously unusual in this regard.

The second is the Nets' game tonight.

Fans see the Nets' record and feel that the Nets' strength is seriously underestimated.

But only he, the steward, knows the changes of the Nets.

Lin Ying and Jokic are indeed very strong, even if their combination is compared with the previous "Texas Twins", it is not too bad.

But then what?

Not to mention that the Nets do not have the third giant like Jokic before, the performance of other role players in the team has not improved.

Rose's state has declined a lot this season, especially the defensive end is always caught and played by opponents;

Crabbe seems like a chicken rib. His catch-and-three-pointers are really good, and the defensive linebacker swingman is indeed capable, but he can make little contribution in other areas. If he was just asked to do these things, it would be better to grit his teeth at that time. Renewed Bradley;

Guy doesn't know why, he thought he could play the role of sixth man by placing him on the bench, but his state has not recovered;

Carter is old, Anunoby is too young, Nene is faltering, and the Nets have always had problems.

It's just because Lin Ying and Jokic performed so well that they covered up these problems.

However, it can be seen from the degree of collision between the Nets team's victory that when confronted with strong dialogue, these problems can easily become the winner of the game.

Because of these, he sent people to the trading market to explore some possibilities early on.

But at the beginning of the season, there were not many teams that wanted to make changes. Even if there were, they all wanted to take advantage of the fire, and none of them could really help the Nets.

In other words, the Nets' current lineup will not change until at least February.

The next month or two will be very difficult.

Vulcan Dean reached out and rubbed his temples vigorously.

After staying at a high place for a long time, the thing you are most worried about is falling.

By that time, the higher you stand, the harder you will fall.

This is the so-called high altitude.

Prokhorov doesn't care about anything at all. From the time he selected Butler to today, it can be said that this team was basically built by him.

Now facing such a situation, the pressure can be imagined.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

It turned out that Lin Ying performed a 360° turnaround dunk while warming up.

Vulcan Deen temporarily put his worries and pressures behind him, and looked at Lin Ying with a smile.

At least, Lin Ying is still there.

No matter who the new boss is, or whether the team can succeed this season, as long as the team is built around Lin Ying, all problems will be resolved in the end.

Just like when Jordan came back after retiring, as long as he was matched with some suitable players, three consecutive games after three consecutive games.

Thinking of this, his whole person's mood instantly became a lot easier.

The warm-up on the field was almost the same, and the opening ceremony followed immediately, and the starting lineups of the two teams were also released one after another.

On the Nets side, Lue used his previous starters: Rose, Crabbe, Lin Ying, Tucker, Jokic;

On the Lakers side, Cousins' comeback is still a long way off. McGee moved from Oakland to Los Angeles and is still the team's starting center: Paul, JR, James, Davis, McGee.

With the cheers of the fans, McGee long-armed the ball back to the Lakers' half court, and the Christmas battle officially kicked off.

This is the last game of the Christmas game this year. Before that, the Hornets defeated the Warriors and the Raptors lost to the Pelicans.

If this is a B03 in the East and West, then the two sides have already reached a 1-1 draw, and the game between the Nets and the Lakers is the final tiebreaker.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, saw Lin Ying defending Davis, gave the ball directly to James, and then signaled to pull away.

James hit Tucker with his back, chiseled a few times, and then suddenly turned to the bottom line and shot back.

James' set of combos is very beautiful, but Tucker's defense is also in place. He saw the opportunity to reach out to interfere.

However, James didn't panic at all. After turning around, he adjusted the arc of his shot in the air, making a high parabolic rebound shot.

"boom!"

After hitting the board, the ball bounces steadily into the basket!

James helped the Lakers come out on top!

Although James has a lot of black spots, and even now he has been terrified of Lin Ying, but one thing you can't deny is his self-discipline.

This also allows him to improve his skills every season.

From when he first entered the league, he mainly relied on his body to play, to now the combination of physical and technical skills is not only related to talent.

The Nets advanced to the frontcourt. Lin Ying saw that Davis was defending himself, so he reached out for the ball and hit one.

He is a pull-up turnaround jumper after a breakthrough.

His technical moves are beautiful, but Davis showed his defensive ability with this ball, which interfered with Lin Ying's shot.

It is worth mentioning that Davis has not been interested in the game at this time, nor has he joined any game team. In the past, after his return from injury, he trained with James and maintained his state very well.

The Lakers' top spot in the Western Conference might seem like a given, but not everyone knows what's behind it.

"when!"

Lin Ying's shot smashed out of the frame, McGee made an excellent card position, James protected the defensive rebound, and quickly passed the ball to Paul.

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack. Paul's advancing speed was very fast, and he took Rose to the frontcourt in a blink of an eye.

Ross didn't lose his defensive position, but Paul knocked Ross away with a hidden elbow before a layup, and he flew for a layup and scored.

There were cheers all over the place, and the Lakers had a pretty good start tonight!

In the Nets' offense, Jokic hit McGee in the low post to catch the ball. After swinging away, he encountered Davis' help defense. He threw the pass to Tucker in the bottom corner of the weak side without looking at anyone.

The ball was passed beautifully, and the bottom corner was also Tucker's point. However, James' help defense was very fast. Before Tucker's shot, he flew and threw himself to interfere. Tucker's shot didn't hit.

McGee jumped high and picked up a defensive rebound. The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt position. Paul played a pick-and-roll with Davis this time. Facing the passing Rose, he took a step back and made a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball is firmly in the bag!

0 to 6!

The Lakers made a perfect start!

James was also quite excited after seeing Paul's goal, and took the initiative to run over and give Paul a high five.

Before the game, he only felt confident, but now he is very sure that the Nets this season is no longer the opponent of the Lakers, this is his era!

"Bang!"

Just as he thought so, Lin Ying stormed past Davis in the frontcourt and smashed the ball into the basket before McGee helped defend!

You may defend against Lin Ying once, but you cannot defend against Lin Ying all the time.

Davis was blocked by a wave of offenses in the frontcourt, and the rebound was taken off by the Nets.

Looking back, Jokic continued to hold the ball low, and a fake pass to the middle fooled McGee, and then the outside hook turned to the bottom line and hit the plate.

After experiencing a brief scoring drought in the opening game, the Nets also began to score more points.

The game also entered a stalemate stage.

The Lakers showed their current state of play, but the Nets also showed their dual-core power.

When the game came to 8 minutes, the two teams began to enter the rotation.

On the Nets side, both cores went off to rest, and on the Lakers side, Davis led the team on the court.

At this time, the advantage of having one more core is reflected, and you can always keep one core on the court.

It was during this period that the Lakers played an advantage under the leadership of Davis.

And in the second quarter, the Lakers replaced James to lead the team, forcing the Nets to let Jokic play in advance.

When both sides are online, the advantage in the lineup becomes an absolute advantage.

And before the decisive moment, even if Lin Ying's personal ability is stronger, he can't directly determine the trend of the game.

After all, in a close match, basketball is more of a turn-based game, and there is only one ball.

After halftime, Lin Ying scored 26 points, the highest score of the game, and Jokic also scored 14 points.

But at halftime, the score was 50-62, and the Nets trailed the Lakers by as much as 12 points.

As can be seen from the scoring statistics, the rest of the Nets have contributed too little.

That's been the norm for the Nets this season, and it's unlikely to change tonight.

"The overall strength of the Lakers is obviously stronger than that of the Nets. Unless Lin can score 50 points, no, 60 points, the Nets may have a chance to win."

On the commentary side, Smith was still doing rational analysis.

This time, Barkley, who was next to him, did not refute it, because it was indeed the case.

And even more crucial than the game at hand, this is just a game. If it is a series, the Nets will lose nine times out of ten.

At halftime, both teams are making midfield adjustments.

In the Nets locker room, Lu left after finishing the deployment. The atmosphere in the locker room was a little dull, and Lin Ying also sat there without speaking.

After all, a basketball game is a five-player sport. The help others can give him and Jokic is too limited. It seems that he must score points in the second half.

After a while he suddenly smiled.

On the bright side, he has a lot of scoring records, but the single-game record of the Christmas Battle is not high, and maybe he can break one tonight.

Just when he thought so, Lu went back and forth and returned to the locker room.

"We need to change."

When Lu opened his mouth, everyone was stunned, including Lin Ying.

Because there is not much time left for the intermission now, Lu's posture is to overthrow all the previous deployments.

But Lu obviously knew this, he didn't leave much time for others to think, and started a new deployment directly.

Lin Ying was still a little puzzled at first, but after waiting for Lu's new deployment that was almost at the whistle, he suddenly felt that Lu Zhen's mother was a tactical genius.

Of course, whether it works or not depends on the changes in the second half.

When I came back from the second half break, the on-site photographer kept taking shots of the players on the court.

The Big Three on the Lakers were even proud of the spring breeze, and even Cousins, who was sitting off the court, kept smiling.

Originally, after the contract expired, he did not consider the Lakers, after all, the Lakers have Paul, who he hates the most.

Regarding the history of the feud between Cousins and Paul, a documentary could be cut.

But James, as a super courtesan, successfully persuaded Cousins, who reluctantly came to Los Angeles for the championship goal.

Facts have also proved that this is the right choice, especially now, looking at his posture, he is not in a hurry to come back, and he may even win a championship while lying down.

The mood of the fans is also very relaxed. Although they do not agree that James is the totem of the new Lakers, who doesn't want to witness the purple and gold glory again?

However, as soon as the second half came, the Nets gave everyone a surprise.

Lue made another adjustment to the Nets' starting lineup, and this time the adjustment was surprising.

Lu directly asked Caruso to replace Rose as the starting point guard!

Moreover, he only made this substitution adjustment.

Don't look at this as just a substitution adjustment, but it is very subversive.

Because Lue's tactic in the Nets is to give the ball to the core of the team.

There are three strong offensive points on the field, which are somewhat similar to triangle tactics, and they can contain each other. Even if they cooperate with each other, the weak side of the opponent will not dare to easily attack.

This is also the reason why even if Rose is not in good form this season~www.mtlnovel.com~Lu has always let him start.

But now, Lu's substitution is tantamount to denying the tactical system he has always adhered to.

This is also the reason why Lin Ying has that kind of reaction in midfield. Not every coach has this kind of courage.

Of course, this was an accident, and the Lakers didn't react much.

After all, Caruso is only a third-year player.

Although Caruso is in good form this season, standing out in the competition with McAway and becoming the team's backup point guard, no matter how good he plays, he is only a third-year player.

With just such an adjustment, can the sky be turned upside down?

The game is about to start, and the starters of both sides have already arrived on the court.

Caruso still looks a little nervous. Three years ago, his dream, like most people, was only to enter the NBA. He probably never imagined that he would one day play the starting point guard for a giant like the Nets.

If you use the popular words in the United States: it is like a dream.

On the bench on the sidelines, Lu picked up a water bottle and took a sip of water at this time. This was a sign of his nervousness.

This is not just a concern about Caruso's performance, but more of a series of changes that this adjustment will bring.

If it works, the Nets will be much stronger than the original team without making adjustments to the lineup.
