Chapter 1364 The first tough battle (3)
"17:16, the Lakers rebel again."
"This is Chen's third three-pointer, right?"
"Yes, he has already scored 11 points. He has scored 11 points just halfway through this quarter. His feel is really good today."
People exclaimed and kept talking.
At this time, the first quarter was only halfway through, with a score of 17:16, and the Lakers led by one point.
In these six minutes, Chen Feng made 4 of 6 shots, including three three-pointers, and had scored 11 points, and had 2 assists and 1 rebound, with a very eye-catching performance.
The Lakers could not lose in this game today, for the sake of winning streak and morale, so when Yu Qian was a little depressed by James' defense, Xiao Meng was in a state of ups and downs due to lack of experience and the first time he played against a strong team like the Cavaliers and his performance was not stable enough, Chen Feng stood up.
He is the leader of the team and the core, so he must shoulder his own responsibilities.
"beep......"
Tyron Lu called for a pause.
When the players came down, Tyron Lu first made personnel adjustments, replaced James and JR, replaced Korver, and Channing Fry.
Then, Tyron Lu began to set up tactics: "The opponent will definitely rotate personnel later. Chen, Yu, Shi, these three people will definitely change one person. I think Shi should be replaced. Let's wait, and you will be more proactive in the inside."
"Yes." The two agreed.
"Irving, Korver." Tyron Lu said again: "Chen must be guarded well, so he can't score so unscrupulously. Especially his three-pointers, they must be curbed. If necessary, I will double-team me later. In addition, while curbing his three-pointers, we must also make our own three-pointers. Irving, pay attention to passing the ball to Korver. Korver, your task is to shoot three-pointers."
"Yes." I can agree occasionally.
"I understand." Korver also replied.
Here, Scott also made personnel adjustments.
As Tyron Lu expected, Scott replaced Shi Xiaomeng.
This is actually not difficult to guess. Xiao Meng didn't play well in these few minutes. Due to experience, he was obviously at a disadvantage when facing Love and TT.
Especially when facing Love, Xiaomeng was completely suppressed. He couldn't defend against Love's hook while inside, and couldn't defend against Love's three-pointer on the outside. In just half a quarter, Love had already scored 7 points.
And, perhaps because of the adverse impact of the offense, Xiao Meng actually lost to TT in rebounding and was at a disadvantage.
At this time, Scott had to let him come down and rest and adjust.
"Shi, take a break. Think about the game just now and adjust yourself." Scott looked at Xiao Meng. A young player always needs to go through these things to grow and mature. So he doesn't blame Xiao Meng for his bad play, but just hopes that he can adjust himself and adapt as soon as possible.
Xiao Meng nodded silently. Seeing Chen Feng and Yu Qian looking at him with encouragement, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't be knocked down so easily. However, I have to reflect on it."
"come on."
"I believe in you." Chen Feng and Yu Qian said.
This is the benefit of having your own brothers in the team. If it is in other teams, Xiao Meng may be lonely and can only face it by himself, and may be discouraged because of it.
But in the Lakers, Chen Feng and Yu Qian support him unconditionally. Even if they encounter setbacks or strong opponents, Xiao Meng will at most suffer some blows and will not be discouraged, because there are brothers watching him and supporting him. He is not alone, not alone.
Hibert also patted Xiao Meng and said, "Think about how to fight after waiting. See me go up and avenge you. They are actually just like that. You will know later."
"Yes." Xiao Meng grinned.
Seeing the two, Scott smiled knowingly and was filled with relief.
At the beginning, Hibert was still very unhappy when he was snatched from the position by Xiao Meng and was not very friendly to Xiao Meng. But after a few games, he had changed.
First of all, Xiao Meng is indeed very strong, very young and has amazing potential, and has too much prospect than Hibert, a veteran full of injuries, and it is only a matter of time.
Secondly, Hibert has seen that he has more room to play after changing to the substitute lineup. In the past, it was just a match made by Chen Feng, Yu Qian, Randall and others, and he did cool labor. However, after reaching the substitute lineup, he transformed into a senior and an important figure. After a few games, his personal data not only did not drop, but increased a little, and he was also happy.
So now Hibert is no longer very repulsive to Xiao Meng.
"Okay." Scott coughed lightly, and everyone calmed down. He only heard him say, "I will fight according to the previous style of play. You are doing a good job. Well, the other party will definitely rotate personnel and will probably replace James. Yu, you can take more action. Chen, you can play more with Yu later."
Yu Qian and Chen Feng agreed together.
After Scott has arranged the pause, the suspension will just end.
When the players of both sides returned to the court, as the opponent's coach expected, the Cavaliers replaced James, and the Lakers replaced Shi Xiaomeng, and the players of both sides were not surprised.
"attack!"
Cavaliers attack.
The ball quickly arrived at the frontcourt. Irving did not play, but passed the ball directly to Love. Against the Lakers lineup, the Cavaliers had the advantage in the inside, and James went down again, so Love naturally became a big killer.
Seeing Love get the ball, Randall quickly greeted him, but he couldn't defend Love one-on-one, and his skills and steps were much worse.
Love took two steps back, then suddenly dribbled the ball and turned around, and passed Randall. Fortunately, there was Hibert at the basket and quickly filled in.
Love paused and threw a single hand.
Hibert defended this ball very well. Although he failed to block it, it disturbed Love to a certain extent, causing Love to make his throwing shot. Hibert immediately grabbed the rebound and passed it to Chen Feng.
When Chen Feng gets the ball and turns around, the Cavaliers are about to visit again.
"It's really fast enough." Chen Feng said in his heart, not surprising.
The two sides fought each other not once or twice, and they were very familiar with each other. The Cavaliers knew that he was fast and knew that the Lakers were good at counterattacking quickly, so once they couldn't get the rebound, they would immediately return to defense, very quickly, and try not to give the Lakers a chance to counterattack quickly.
However, the Lakers are not the Lakers of last season. Even if they fall into positional battles, they are not afraid of the Cavaliers at all.
After Chen Feng crossed the center line, he made a small cooperation with Yu Qian. First, Hibert came up to pick-and-roll, Chen Feng took advantage of the situation to break through, Yu Qian ran around the three-point line and made another pick-and-roll with Hibert. In this way, Yu Qian threw away the defender and went outside the three-point line on the left corner, Chen Feng's ball also came.
