121. Return to the game
"Gary, the next time I die."
Without waiting for James to make a second free throw, Walton asked Lam to prepare for the purpose of warming up in advance.
If you have been separated from the battle formation for a long time, you will inevitably feel unfamiliar with the stadium.
In fact, Lin Feng didn't feel this way, he could not wait.
Taking off his coat, he tucked his shirt into his shorts, walked towards the technical station near the center line, and leaned his hands behind his chest to prepare for the show.
Hart struggled a little. He and Kuzma were regarded as the focus of attention by the old man, and became a breakthrough on the defensive end, allowing Shuangde to succeed repeatedly.
"Look, Gary Smith, who has returned from the suspension, is ready to make a debut. He is a very controversial player."
"The rookie with the 60th pick played lottery style in the first two games, but was suspended for three games because he was not calm. Now that he is back, what will happen?"
As the commentator said, the camera pointed the lens at Lin Feng next to the technical stand, and he looked at the venue with a firm look, as if he was thinking.
There are two minutes left in the first quarter. What's not bad is that the Lakers can't raise their speed at all times. They are limited by the Spurs on the offensive end, and when they are on defense, they can't help but win the double-deal.
The situation slowly tilted towards the Spurs. They played very well and gradually controlled the overall rhythm.
Luke Walton kept walking back and forth, trying to get the players on the field to regain the offensive rhythm, but after all, Vic was better and he could always find a way to restrain himself.
Converting the offense, facing Kuzma's defense, Aldridge turned around and made a jump shot steadily. The old man on the sidelines smiled, and everything was going according to his expectations.
In the Lakers' round, after several passes, the basketball was handed to Hart. He rushed straight to the basket from a 45-degree angle, facing Gasol's strict defense, causing the ball to be lost.
The Spurs quickly counterattacked and threw the ball directly to Belinelli, who was waiting for the three-point line, who made a three-pointer.
29-36, the Lakers were seven points behind away, and there was a problem with their offense.
In the last minute, Walton had to call for a timeout to change the lineup. Lin Feng, who was in front of the technical table, walked back to the bench and followed the coach's arrangements.
"We need to cut off DeRozan from other people, Gary, I need you to do this. Stick DeRozan and don't let him get the ball. The opponent has no foul trouble and we have it, so be careful."
"The Spurs' rhythm is different from other teams, and we have not done our own thing well, so we can easily tear the opponent apart the defense. Come on, guys!"
To Lin Feng's surprise, Michael Beasley will play with him, and he replaces Kuzma to play the fourth position.
This guy has never been interested in himself and is shaking his body to warm up behind Walton.
"Hi Michael." Lin Feng took the initiative to say hello to him and stretched out his right hand.
Beasley glanced at him, reached out and touched Lin Feng's fist, then nodded without saying a word.
Well, don't care about these details. Everyone wants to win the game, Lin Feng told himself this.
On the Spurs, Guy replaced Aldridge, leaving only DeRozan to lead the team alone on the field. The old man asked their double core to take turns to ensure that there was enough offensive firepower on the field.
I got the chance to play again, which is much calmer than in Portland, but I am still excited.
He thinks that his current thinking is very clear, understands what he wants to do and how to help the team take away a victory.
However, judging from the score and the on-court situation, the Lakers are not far from losing six consecutive times at the beginning, and they are still unable to play team basketball.
With six starting lineups in six games, Walton's coaching ability is questioned.
Lin Feng was told to defend DeRozan, which is probably something that Vic would not have thought of. After all, letting the first-grade rookie face O Jiang Lake DeRozan? It's still too young!
After making his debut, DJ revealed his name and had few reactions on the spot. Spurs fans were very unfamiliar with Lam.
Furthermore, there are too many rookies in the Lakers, and they won’t pay much attention to how a rookie with a 60 pick will perform.
But Guy received thunderstorm applause. He is the third fire point for this popular Spurs and can often play an important role in the bench.
The team recalled Jonathan Williams from the Development League. The young man wearing the No. 19 jersey is full of energy. He will appear in the No. 5 position of the rotation lineup with 206 cm.
After two substitutions, the Lakers removed all the starters, and the court became Rondo, Finson, Beasley, Jonathan and Lam.
The commentator joked that the Lakers' Thorny Mercenary Legion came on stage, with five people having one-year contracts, and Jonathan was still a two-way player.
The substitute lineup has a high attack talent, and if it is done well, you can fight crazy.
Finson and Beasley are both players with great offensive talents. Rondo is the commander on the court. Jonathan works diligently and tiringly, while Lam Feng claims to be the son of God.
In short, they need to have enough tacit understanding to produce chemical reactions.
In the last minute of the first quarter, the Spurs adopted a conservative style of play. They would not grab the number of attacks, but instead played patiently.
"Gary, I will provide you with cover and show your talent." Rondo whispered as he serves.
The two of them remained silent. Rondo dribbled through half the game. Lin Feng came out of the baseline to receive the ball, and Mills stepped forward to defend.
The 183 cm Australian is very experienced, and this guy has been directing his teammates to run on the field.
The former head coach of the United States once commented on him, "It is difficult to see one defender be in the game when defending another defender."
This is true. Mills followed Lin Feng steadily and relied on his good mobility to block Lin Feng's breakthrough route.
Facing the small man, Lam has a lot of experience and beats almost all counterpoint point guards in the summer league. Now facing Mills, he may encounter some trouble, but he thinks this is not a difficult problem.
After swaying left and right, he quickly broke through. Mills pressed on him and was thrown behind him.
Jonathan was quick-eyed and quickly bounced to the outside to create space for Lin Feng. Gracelo at the basket did not intend to let him make a layup easily.
Mills chased back, and Gasol in front blocked. Lin Feng chose to use the ball to Fenson who was inserted from the wing. The latter made a three-step layup and easily sent the ball into the basket.
After scoring, Fenson waved his arms and roared, of course he would not forget Lin Feng who passed the ball to him.
"Beautiful brother, your pass is very comfortable."
When they returned to defense, they slapped their high-fivings. This guy was powerful enough. Every time he slapped his high-fivings, Lin Feng felt that his hand was about to break.
“Beautiful job Gary.”
Rondo in the backcourt encouraged him, and Lin Feng could help him share more pressure on ball control, making Spurs players dare not double-team Ron for more balls without scruples.
Five minutes behind, 53 seconds left, and the attack just now took only 12 seconds, and they had the chance to catch up with the score at the end of the first quarter.
The commentator discussed Lin Feng, and the two thought he would continue to create surprises for the audience.
The Spurs' Mills took the ball in a hurry and dribbled through the half-court, and it was obvious that they planned to spend at least 20 seconds.
In this way, the Spurs can get two more offensive opportunities, while the Lakers only have one.
"Be alert! Don't let that kid steal!"
The old man on the sidelines shouted loudly to Mills. The "boy" he said refers to Lin Feng. He completed five steals in the first two games, which made the old man afraid of the substitute rookie.
Chapter completed!
