Chapter 345 Iron Bucket Li Feng! (33)
During the timeout, Walton mainly told the players that it is enough to maintain a difference of about 5 points with the Bucks.
Even if it is 5 points behind, it is acceptable.
The main thing is to let the players not be too competitive at this time!Because Coach Kidd is waiting for the Lakers to appear in such a state.
Malcolm was replaced when the opponent came back again, just as Walton expected.
The Lakers made several mistakes immediately, and Malcolm took advantage of the victory to pursue and scored two consecutive 2-pointers!
On the other side of the Lakers, the players' mentality is not so anxious at this time.
They are following Wharton's train of thought.
33:31!In the end, the score of the first quarter was fixed here.The two teams adjusted their lineups and played very slowly in the second quarter.
The score is still stalemate, and the players on both sides are waiting for that moment to come!
It is to look for the opportunity and strive for the time to finally win the opponent!
The mood of the coaches on both sides is more complicated, and they are trying their best to control the rhythm of their teams.
Both of them also felt it, that is, both sides of this game are going to win the final victory.
64:59!At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides was only 5 points!
The Lakers played fairly stable here.Kobe keeps shooting 2-pointers, and Li Feng also scores [-]-pointers from time to time!
After the second quarter, Wharton immediately boasted!
Walton: "The rhythm is well controlled! That's it! Now everyone go back and rest immediately, and prepare for the third quarter..."
Russell: "Coach, when will we widen the gap?"
Walton: "You can ask me this question in the fourth quarter. All you have to do now, as long as you play, is to run with your teammates."
Russell: "Oh"
Wharton is in good spirits today.Maybe because he was too nervous, he still acted very seriously at this time.
Although the players are a little tired, they feel more fulfilled.
In the previous two seasons, this feeling was rarely experienced.
The main reason is that they actually have some sense of control under Wharton's command in the away game!
In the last two quarters of their game, when the opponents are so serious and there are few mistakes, can the Lakers immediately open up the score difference?
They don't know much about it.
And according to the young head coach Walton's style of play, he still leads the score after two quarters!
When Wharton went back, he chatted directly with the teaching assistants.
The current idea of the assistant coach is to let Kobe go up early, and then let Russell and Li Feng play the following games.
But Walton's feeling is that if Kobe doesn't show up in the last quarter, then the game is basically hanging.
Just like he became the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers at a young age, Kidd became an outstanding team head coach immediately after retiring.
He doesn't have much confidence that he can beat Kidd today!
But in the contest between the two teams, the coach of the team is important, but the members of the team also play an important role!
It can be said that the Bucks have a rising star Antetokounmpo.But the Lakers hold the trump card here!
A powerful lineup may not necessarily win, and an inconspicuous team may not necessarily lose.
So with the current lineup configuration of the Lakers, Walton still has to stay behind in order to deal with the Bucks' sudden explosive attack!
Walton: "In the third quarter, it's not impossible to score points. But we must be careful. Suddenly there is a 15-point difference. I am not sure that I can win this game.
What I want is that the control of the rhythm of the game should be the first priority.The other is to keep the lead within 10 points, that's it.
Don't fight too hard with the opponent in this section!You should have a certain impression of the Bucks in 2015.Kidd had just left for Milwaukee at the time.
They haven't changed much from now.That is, the team has good toughness, and it is easy to come back in the end.”
After the break, Walton and the players talked a lot in the locker room.The room is very quiet, and now everyone wants to see if they can win in the end.
The other is that the first two quarters of the game also consumed a lot of energy from the players.
If the Bucks compete with them on the field, it's okay.But if it is a confrontation, it will take a lot of energy!
Li Feng played 9 minutes and 16 seconds in the second quarter.Back in the third quarter, the opponent lineup changed to Hansen, Antetokounmpo, Beasley, Malcolm, and Terry.
On the Lakers side are Zubac, Black, Ingram, Russell and Lu Wei in turn!
Kobe was finally put on the bench by Walton, and he felt that his arrangement was still feasible.
69:62!Wharton called for a timeout and let Li Feng play again!
Now Li Feng has become a very important player for the Lakers!It can be seen from his playing time!
Both sides now want to score more points, but obviously both sides have declined in terms of offensive efficiency.
After the game, Ingram dribbled the ball and was directly cut off by the letter!
Beasley quickly got the basketball and rushed over, Li Feng quickly returned to defense, and the Lakers immediately switched to a half-court pressing defense!
Seeing that he was about to score, Beasley ignored Kidd's command and rushed to the basket without authorization, trying to make a layup, but was directly pressed down by Li Feng!
Using Zipin's Tristan defensive skill package, Li Feng felt that his defensive awareness around the basket and his upper body strength had improved a lot.
Then Lu Wei received Li Feng's long pass, quickly rushed across the half court, faced Malcolm's return defense, turned around and passed him, ran a few steps again and hit a three-pointer!
72:62!The Bucks immediately switch offense and defense!After receiving a pass from Malcolm, Terry directly intends to pass the ball straight to Alphabet.
Generally, as long as Antetokounmpo gets the basketball at this time, if the opponent's reaction can't keep up, he will slam dunk and score!
But Li Feng in front of the letter broke the basketball!
When Lu Wei shot the ball just now, Li Feng had already run back!
The players on the bench of the Lakers couldn't stand Li Feng's amazing performance, they all stood up and watched the game!
Lu Wei was also a little confused, he ran along the same route after receiving the ball again, but he slowed down this time.
The players on the Bucks side see that their state is about to guard Lu Wei down.
But at that moment the basketball passed to Ingram behind him.The latter got up and hit a three-pointer!
After several rounds, the atmosphere of the Bucks fans in the Bradley Center has dropped a lot.
The Bucks, which have always been known for their defense, are quite embarrassed at this time.But looking at the former teammate Li Feng on the field, they don't know this guy anymore.
Li Feng, who has confrontation, can pass the ball, and defends like an iron bucket, is simply not too strong!
Walton turned around and looked at the players on the bench and shook his head in disbelief~ Kobe smiled brightly.
