593. Advice: Do not judge people by their appearance
Stevens took down Irving and replaced Rozzy III, and their core players needed a rest.
This period is a good opportunity for the Lakers to catch up with points. If Irving is not here, the Celtics' offensive power will be greatly reduced.
Howard responded at a high position, and then Pope, who was in trouble, did not take any action!
Rozier, who had just started the game, angrily grabbed the rebound. He was in good physical condition and ran through the half with the ball alone.
After a dazzling pass, he was given to Tatum, and he almost made a move in the same position as Pope, but there was no one.
Both sides entered the iron-striking stage, and at the beginning of the game, the Celtics' high hit rate began to decline. This is normal, and no team can maintain the hot touch for the whole game.
James held the ball and organized it, and Lin Feng was ambushed at the bottom corner to prepare to seal the throat with a sword.
When the ball reached Howard's inside, Horford immediately presented the center version of the death entanglement!
As the spark was about to be lost, the spark was passed back to James on the top of the arc. Without stopping the ball, James received the ball with one hand and threw it into the basket like a shell!
Howard thought it was a return pass for himself, so he reached out to try to get it, but he couldn't get the ball at all.
At this time, Lin Feng rushed into the basket from the bottom line and threw the ball into the basket in the air with an extremely stretched move!
The basketball turned two rounds and fell into the net.
The home fans were fascinated by the view. LeBron's pass tore the opponent's defense like a scalpel, and Lin Feng was the sharp blade on the tip of the knife.
14-22, the gap is still eight points.
At 3 minutes and 42 seconds, Walton replaced James and Pope, and Caruso and Hart played against each other.
This was another bold attempt by Walton, who sent three defenders on the court, and no one expected him to replace Caruso at this time.
Although Caruso, who was "highly bald" performed well in garbage time, he did not have any regular time game experience after all, and the team was facing difficulties at this moment.
The first thing to express doubts is the big guys on the TNT commentary stage.
"Alex Caruso? I know he is a very physical player, but that doesn't mean he will show his ability on the court because he has too little experience in the game."
The person who spoke was Shaq O'Neal, who knew every player in the Lakers at present, and even saw their college playing highlights.
"Wait Shaq! You have to understand that it was Luke Walton who brought the team to where he is now, so I believe that guy must have his own ideas."
Barkley expressed his point of view. He has always been "dark to the lake", but adhering to the saying "the enemy's enemy is a friend", he is now standing on the side of the Lakers.
Because Barkley's player era was also taught a lesson by the Celtics.
After Caruso played as the No. 1 position, Lam was mentioned to the front line and formed a "New Yorker" forward team with Finson.
Except for center Howard, the other four are only 200 cm tall, which is a small lineup that pursues speed.
The Celtics also made changes, with Ursula's cousin Hayward appearing as a substitute, and the center position was replaced by Australian Aaron Baines who returned from injury.
The game continued, and Caruso, who had just appeared on the court, suffered an off-ball foul and sent Jaylen Brown to the free throw line.
This is the first time Caruso has made a appearance in the first quarter this season, and it seems a little nervous.
Lin Feng walked over and patted his shoulder to relieve the stress, "Relax, it's no big deal."
Brown made both free throws, and the Celtics continued to maintain a very advantage.
The Lakers sent out a baseline ball, and Lin Feng directly shot Caruso and asked him to organize the attack.
Everyone is staring at the No. 4 player who looks a little thin. You should know that what he is now is just a two-way contract, which will be cut by the team or delegated to the Development League at any time.
Rozier stepped forward and pressed, intending to teach this little brother a lesson.
Just after halftime, the two got entangled together. To be honest, Lin Feng was worried about him, but he was very relieved.
He knew Caruso's ability. He scored super data of 32 points and 10 rebounds in the Los Angeles civil war in the last world. This guy is very capable.
Soon, Rozier paid the price for his recklessness! He was staggered by Caruso's fake moves in front of the arc, and almost fell down after chasing him in a mess.
Home fans burst into laughter, they like to see the guys in green uniforms make a fool of themselves.
Caruso took this opportunity to attack the basket and challenge Baynes directly!
The Australian center thinks this young man who looks like a programmer is simply not capable of challenging himself.
As a result, Caruso passed the ball to Howard behind with a deceptive layup.
"Warcraft is back, and you can re-hit your hands into the net!"
He has also become the fourth player in the Lakers to score points so far. McGee scored two points and Kuzma scored a three-pointer, and the remaining nine points came from Lin Feng.
Lakers fans began to shout for Caruso's wonderful pass and Howard's dunk, especially Caruso, who showed a calm mind and bounce ability.
Rozier, who was shaken down twice, paid the price for his recklessness.
The Celtics intend to take advantage of their height and take advantage of their strength in the interior. After lifting Howard out of the basket, Jaylen Brown beat the basket!
Hart, who was defending him, seemed unable to do so, but fortunately, Lin Feng cut the ball in time!
His speed was very fast, from rushing into the basket to stealing in one go, without giving Brown a chance to hesitate, thanks to the accurate judgment of the sixth sense.
Lin Feng ran with the ball for halftime, only Rozier, who was originally on the top of the arc, was dragged behind.
However, the Celtics' overall return speed was very fast, and four people except Baynes ran back quickly.
The fast break was almost in the positional battle, and Lin Feng kept the ball and continued to attack the basket!
He jumped hard against Rozier and attacked the basket, and his layup was slightly off.
But Caruso, who followed behind him, pulled the ball into the basket with both hands!
"What did I see? Hahaha, that guy completed the patch on Rozier's head? How could that be!" O'Neal was shocked. He couldn't believe that Caruso, who had a weak face, could make a physical move similar to Westbrook.
Rozier, who was standing at the basket, looked confused. He thought he had successfully defended Lin Feng's layup, but he saw a golden No. 4 figure taking off from him like a bomber and dunking the ball at an incredible height!
“WTF?”
Rozier was really confused. He didn't know this bald guy.
"Beautiful guy!"
Lin Feng and Caruso were passionately slamming their chests, and he had already guessed the headlines of the Los Angeles Sports Times tonight.
Walton on the sidelines still kept holding his hands in his chest, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But now is not the time to be proud, the team is still eight points behind, and the first quarter is about to end, and their score is only twenty.
The game continued, Hayward missed a three-pointer on the diagonal side, and the rebound was grabbed by Baynes, and Jaylen Brown was then scored at the top of the arc.
After a fake shot, Brown rushed to the basket with the ball, confronted Caruso's body, and both fell to the ground.
Offensive foul!
The referee was decisive and Caruso successfully committed an offensive foul, allowing the team to regain the ball rights.
The Lakers are starting to play, which makes home fans happy, while Stevens on the other side pinchs his chin and starts to think about what to do.
Chapter completed!
