Chapter 1413 Shock the second in the west
A plane landed at Los Angeles Airport. Chen Feng, Yu Qian and other Lakers players, together with the coaching staff and staff, got off the plane.
"Huh, I'm finally back, it's still comfortable in Los Angeles." Yu Qian stretched down, breathed in the air, and let out a long breath of turbid air.
"Yes, this consecutive away game has caused me tossing."
"It's so tiring to have 5 consecutive away games."
"Hehe, this kind of thing happens every season, and sometimes there are even seven or eight consecutive away games. Compared to that, this is nothing."
Finally ended the away game and returned to Los Angeles, the others were in a good mood and spoke in a verbal manner.
More than a week has passed since the All-Star Weekend. In more than a week, except for the first home game, the Lakers have all the remaining five games away. After playing from one place, they immediately flew to another place, finished a game, and then flew to the next place.
The more than a week of running around and playing games made everyone very tired, especially the rookie players, who have not experienced such a situation, are particularly uncomfortable.
For old players, it's better, after all, I'm used to it.
"Okay, isn't this back?" Scott clapped his hands and said with a smile: "There is no competition tomorrow. I'll give you a vacation. No need to train anymore. Have a good rest." After saying that, he thought for a while, and then reminded: "Remember, I'm asking you to rest, not let you go to nightclubs to do whatever you want, do you know?"
"Know."
"Don't worry, I promise to stay at home these two days and not go there. I've been so tired for more than a week, and I have to sleep well."
Everyone talked openly.
In fact, there must be someone who will not stay at home honestly, but Scott is too lazy to care about it. This week, he played one more home game, five away games, and a total of six games, and they achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss. Considering that there were 5 consecutive away games, this record was already good, and Scott was quite satisfied.
With this wave of 5 wins and 1 loss, the Lakers' record has also improved a little, with only one win difference from the Spurs. If you win another game, you can return to second place in the West.
Of course, compared with the Warriors, there are still several wins.
It’s not because the Lakers played poorly, but because the Warriors played very well. Except for a period of time at the beginning of the season, the Warriors’ record in the following two months was extremely gorgeous, and they rarely lost. They only lost two games in two months. Including those who lost at the beginning of last season, they lost a total of 6 games.
Now that the regular season has passed, they have only lost 6 games in total, which surprised the outside world. Some people even predicted that the Warriors will write another legend this season, which may break their record of 73 wins and 9 losses!
Scott was so shocked by the crazy look this season that the Warriors watched Scott so he didn't want to compete with the Warriors for the first place in the West. As long as he could kill the Spurs and regain the second place in the West.
Everyone left the airport and dispersed.
......
One day later, the Lakers were at home and welcomed the Pelicans.
After Paul joined the Pelicans this summer, he made the Pelicans fight with strength. Now he has achieved fifth place in the Western Conference, second only to the Rockets. The difference between them and the Rockets is not big. There is only one win difference. If they can win another game, they can catch up with the Rockets, or even cross the Rockets and become fourth in the Western Conference.
So, this game is not only important to the Lakers, but also to the Pelicans.
The competition begins on time at 7:00 pm.
The Lakers are regular, Calderon, Chen Feng, Yu Qian, Randall, and Xiao Meng. The Pelicans are Paul, Holiday, Cunningham, Cousins, and Davis.
Xiao Meng rode the ball to the backcourt, Chen Feng took the ball and quickly advanced. After reaching the frontcourt, he passed it to Yu Qian. Yu Qian took the ball and swayed it, and he added a breakthrough and passed the ball to Randle. Randle scored a throw.
Turning around, Davis made a single shot, a turn-around jump shot, and also hit a steadily...
From the beginning of the game, the scores of both sides were very anxious. Sometimes you lead, sometimes I lead, and the difference between the points is only a few points, and it is always a stalemate.
When the first quarter was halfway through, the score difference was still anxious, and Scott called for a timeout.
"After Paul joining, the Pelicans' strength has indeed increased greatly." Scott was secretly aware of his heart, waved at Chen Feng and the others, first performed personnel rotation, replaced Yu Qian, Randall replaced, replaced Nene, Larry Nance Jr., further strengthened his height.
To deal with the inside line composed of Cousins and Davis, it is definitely not possible without height!
"Nene, Shi, and Nance, you must be on guard against the inside. Once you see Davis and Cousins get the ball, go up and double-team, and you can't let them play unscrupulously." Scott began to arrange: "On the outside, Chen, you have to take more shots, do you know?"
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded.
When Yu Qian comes down, his scoring task will increase.
On the other hand, the Pelicans also made personnel adjustments. Paul was replaced, and the coach arranged some tactics and the timeout was also over.
When he was about to play, Scott added: "Remember, we must win this game. If we win, we will be the second in the West, do you know?"
"clear."
"Yes, coach."
"Don't worry," everyone replied and walked onto the stadium.
In fact, for the Pelicans, this game is also inevitable. If you can win, you can enter the top four in the West, which will also have some benefits for the subsequent games.
......
Lakers attack.
Calderon carried the ball and passed the ball to Chen Feng after he arrived at the frontcourt. Chen Feng took the ball and made a gesture to Xiao Meng. Xiao Meng came up to pick-and-roll, Chen Feng broke through and threw away the defender. The degree was not fast, and he seemed to be passing the ball back to Xiao Meng. But in fact, the direction of the pass was not Xiao Meng, but the inside line, and a hit to Nene's hand.
With a bang, Nene dunked in.
"nice shot!"
On the sidelines, a group of Lakers players cheered loudly.
The cooperation was so beautiful that it made the home fans excited.
However, when he turned around, Cousins immediately used his personal ability to play Nene alone. After a breakthrough move, he suddenly dribbled the ball, turned around, made a layup, and returned one.
"We are still at a disadvantage in the inside line." Chen Feng said in his heart, giving Calderon a look.
Calderon understood it and nodded at Chen Feng. After arriving at the frontcourt, he immediately passed it to Chen Feng, then walked to the other side, pulled the defender away, and played a single shot for Chen Feng.
At this time, Chen Feng must stand up and score, otherwise he will not be able to compete with the opponent.
Seeing that Chen Feng seemed to be playing singles, Holiday rushed up, opened his hands, stared at Chen Feng without blinking, and did not dare to relax at all.
"Swoosh!"
