Chapter 1201 The more you fight, the better
"Wow, it's already 12:8 so soon."
"Does Coach Scott call a timeout at this time?"
The score became 12:8, not too much.
However, in the past two or three minutes, the Clippers obviously took the absolute initiative. The Lakers played not smoothly and their shooting rate was not very high. Many people think that Scott should call a timeout, let the players adjust or re-arrange their tactics.
But Scott didn't do this, just stood on the sidelines with his arms around him, not asking for a timeout, nor did he seem to be trying to substitute people.
"The game has just begun. Not only does Chen's return need to adapt, but his teammates also need to adapt. He is only 4 points behind, which is nothing." Scott said in his heart, and he made a gesture to the field, indicating that everyone should not be anxious, take it slowly, and just play with it if you relax.
Bang!
The Clippers missed a shot, Hibert won the rebound, and quickly handed it to Chen Feng. Chen Feng took the ball and started it quickly, shouting at his teammates: "Fast attack."
In an instant, except for Hibert falling behind, Chen Feng, Kobe, Yu Qian and Randle rushed to the frontcourt and found their own positions.
At this time, Chen Feng also arrived, dribbling behind Paul's defense, and instantly killed Paul, plunged into the inside, jumped up against the defender.
Griffin also jumped up and reached out to cover it.
However, Chen Feng did not want to make a layup. He passed the ball from behind and gave it to Yu Qian who was following. Yu Qian took the ball and took a step, but did not go. Instead, he attracted the defender and passed the ball to the right and gave it to Kobe at the bottom corner. Kobe was already an open opportunity at this time, so he took the ball and glanced, shaking his wrist.
"Swish!"
The ball is in, three points!
"Good ball." A commentator shouted OK and praised: "This ball was really beautiful. Chen and Yu continuously hit the inside line, attracting the opponent's defense and forcing the opponent to shrink. This created an opportunity for Kobe. Kobe's shot was also beautiful and neat."
"This is a beautiful fast attack cooperation." Another commentator also said.
In the audience, Lakers fans cheered loudly.
This is indeed a good ball, moving quickly, hitting the inside line continuously, and finally passing the ball to the outside line, and Kobe's three-pointer ended the battle, and everything was like mercury pouring down the ground.
What excited the fans even more was that this beautiful cooperation seemed to have suddenly aroused the morale of the Lakers, causing a change between them, and the offense became smoother.
In the next two or three minutes, the Lakers launched a strong counterattack and quickly reversed the situation. When halfway through the first quarter, the score became 19:16, and the Lakers led by 3 points.
"beep......"
Coach Rivers called a timeout.
One is that the time is almost over, and he can call a timeout and perform some personnel rotation; the other is that he also felt the changes in the Lakers, especially Chen Feng. His adaptation to the game was much better than Rivers expected. He originally thought that this game might need to be adapted, but he seemed to have integrated in just a few minutes and became as sharp as before he was not injured.
This is not a good thing.
"Okay, come here." Rivers clapped his hands and everyone gathered around him. Rivers said: "Wait until Griffin comes down, Spets comes up; Bamot comes down, Bath."
First, a substitution was made, and then Rivers began to set up tactics: "From the situation just now, Chen's injury should have been healed and in good condition. He has strong adaptability. He has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game in just half a quarter. Therefore, we must strengthen our defense against him later."
"In addition, the opponent should replace Kobe. Then Chen and Yu are the only one left on the field. Cut off their connections and don't let them cooperate." Rivers said, thinking for a while before saying, "In terms of offense, we play more inside."
Everyone listened and agreed in unison.
The Lakers have also arranged the tactics.
As Rivers expected, Scott also made a personnel rotation, replacing Kobe and Randall, and replacing Clarkson and David West.
After the timeout, the Clippers strengthened their defense against Chen Feng as Rivers ordered and deliberately cut off the connection between him and Yu Qian.
This did cause some trouble for the Lakers. Chen Feng and Yu Qian are the two Lakers' aces, but they have been cut off from contact and cannot cooperate, resulting in the entire Lakers' offense becoming less smooth.
Of course, it is also related to the lack of shooting percentage and poor feel of the other Lakers.
But then again, on the court, whether the feel is good or not sometimes depends on the individual, but also on whether the team plays smoothly. Generally speaking, if the team plays smoothly, everyone's shooting rate will be higher; if the playing is sluggish, the shooting rate will naturally be lower.
However, there is also a type of people who are not affected by this factor - such as Chen Feng!
The connection between himself and Yu Qian was deliberately cut off by the other party, deliberately isolated himself and Yu Qian. The others felt bad, so Chen Feng thought for a while and decided to do it himself.
At this time, it is indeed time for him to stand up.
This time, after pushing into the frontcourt, Chen Feng did not rush to pass the ball, but instead made a gesture to West, signaling him to come up and pick-and-roll, then suddenly added, quickly entered the inside line before Paul chased after him, jumped up against Jordan Jordan, and paused in the air, avoided Jordan Jordan, and then made a layup with a low hand.
Swish!
The ball went in and the breakthrough was made.
The ball entered, and there was another cheer in the audience. Scott also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Haha, Chen is still Chen, still so powerful."
In the next round, Chen Feng passed the ball to West. West carried it behind him, and then quickly passed the ball out. Chen Feng got the ball and added it, and stopped and jumped on the jump.
With a swish, it also entered.
A few dozen seconds later, Yu Qian missed the shot, Hibert beat the ball outside, picked up the rebound for Clarkson, made a fake shooting move, and then passed it to Chen Feng quickly.
Chen Feng took the ball, jumped out of the three-point line, raised his hand and fell, and another three-pointer hit.
However, in a while, Chen Feng scored 7 points alone, almost carrying the entire Lakers' offense with his own strength, and leading the team to suppress the Clippers.
When this three-pointer hit, Scott called a timeout, replaced Chen Feng and Yu Qian, replaced Kobe with a few substitutes, and finished the last one or two minutes of the first quarter.
36:3o, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points.
In this quarter, Chen Feng scored 7 points and 3 assists. Although the score has not yet reached double digits, anyone can see that his playing is getting better and better, and his condition is rapidly recovering.
