Chapter 115, lead the team alone!
Warriors coach Nelson is very dissatisfied with the playoff system in the east and west parts of the league.
The Warriors' current record is 48 wins and 33 losses. If they are placed in the East, they will be the fifth record. There is no need to worry about whether they can play in the playoffs.
But the Warriors are in the West and the competition in the West is too fierce, which has led to the Warriors still rank ninth in the West.
The Nuggets, ranked eighth in the Western Conference, have a record of 49 wins and 32 losses, and the Warriors are facing great playoff pressure.
This allowed the Warriors to win in the last game, and then the Nuggets also had to lose so that they could advance to the playoffs.
Fortunately, Old Nelson could see that the Lakers wanted to meet them more than the Nuggets, so the Lakers coach Zen master, who locked in first place, chose to rotate the starter and let the substitute deal with the Warriors.
However, the Zen master's move also attracted criticism from Nuggets coach George Carl.
George Carl said at a pre-match press conference between the Nuggets and the Pacers: "The league should continue to punish them, and such an arrangement is a harm to the fans."
Whether the alliance punishes Zen masters or not, the result can no longer be changed.
These two key events started at the same time.
locker room.
No matter what arrangements the Zen master and management want to make.
Zhou Hang didn't need to pay much attention to it. He only knew that he was leading the team in this game.
Zhou Hang is doing his own preparations.
After returning for four consecutive games, Zhou Hang performed poorly, and averaged only 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of only 32%. There are problems with running-in with the starting lineup, and Zhou Hang's own condition.
Zhou Hang hopes that this game can get back his form!
Staples Stadium.
As the game approached, the fans here became lively.
Lakers fans only learned before the game that Zen master had made rotation arrangements and all the starters were resting.
This made some Lakers fans dissatisfied, and their ticket prices were not discounted.
The Hollywood star fans in the front row were also bowing their heads to discuss the highlights tonight, and this game was a bit uninteresting.
During the entrance ceremony, the fans were not very enthusiastic about the Lakers players' shouts.
Soon, the game began.
Lakers starters: Famar, Zhou Hang, Ariza, Walton, ski man.
Warriors starters: Byron Davis, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Andris Bidlings.
The Zen master also chose to be lazy in this game. He asked the assistant coach to make tactical arrangements and sit in his seat to watch the game.
The Lakers' assistant coach was very excited and directly let the Lakers team play running and bombarding and fight back quickly!
Then during the positional war, he revolved around Zhou Hang to carry out tactics.
.........
"Beep!!"
The referee threw the ball into the sky.
The ski man and Bidlins jumped almost at the same time.
The ski man, who is 2.08 meters tall, suffers a little compared to Bidlins, who is 2.11 meters tall.
Bidlings transferred the ball to Byron Davis.
Byron Davis is a strong point guard, averaging 21.8 points and 7.6 assists per game this season.
His most powerful record was that he led the Golden State Warriors, who ranked eighth in the regular season, to defeat the Dallas Mavericks, who ranked first in the regular season, in the playoffs last year, and staged the famous "Black Eight Miracle"!
Famar's defense against Byron Davis is a disadvantage.
Byron Davis's style of play is very steady, and he is also very clear about the Warriors' advantages.
Byron Davis dribbled to the frontcourt and gave the ball too much to Bidlins.
After Biderlins made a hand-pass for Byron Davis, Byron Davis dribbled past Famal and dribbled into the inside.
As the ski man assisted in defense, Byron Davis passed the ball to Bidlins who was down.
Bidlins received the ball and flew around Walton's layup to score.
2 to 0.
Biderlins is a European player with solid basic skills. He can play this kind of pick-and-roll with a very comfortable fit.
The ski man sent the ball to Famar.
Famar dribbled to the frontcourt.
Because Ellis' defense was not good, Nelson arranged for Stephen Jackson to defend Zhou Hang.
Stephen Jackson has a nickname, "Martial Saint"!
Before Zhou Hang appeared, he was considered the most combat-capable player in active service, and Artest was his younger brother in front of him.
The match between Wu Sheng and Zhou Hang is also the highlight of fans and media expectations.
Since Zhou Hang was suspended for 10 games in a dry fight, his fighting ability is considered the No. 1 in the NBA.
The outside world hopes to see Zhou Hang and Wu Sheng have a men's duel!!
If they do it on the field, the ticket price will be worth it.
Zhou Hang's fight did affect his image to a certain extent.
Fans no longer think that Zhou Hang is a good baby, and it is very scary when Zhou Hang gets angry.
....
The Lakers, who are not the starting lineup, will be a little troublesome when dealing with the Warriors. Only Zhou Hang is the only one who launches the attack.
Stephen Jackson has a good defense, and he has been pestering Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang got rid of the opportunity to catch the ball after passing Walton's cover.
Famal gave the ball to Zhou Hang.
After getting the ball, Zhou Hang took the opportunity to start a point on the outside line, and Ellis, who was resting on defense, jumped up directly.
Zhou Hang's ball suddenly stepped in.
Zhou Hang's breakthrough was very smooth, the Warriors' inside defense was not strong, and Bidlins' defense did not come up immediately.
The middle distance of the emergency stop at Zhou Hang's free throw line.
This shot was very comfortable!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc.
"Swish!"
2 to 2
Zhou Hang could feel that his condition was great again tonight.
...
After the game started, anyone could see that the Warriors had made it easy to compete for the playoff spots, and each of them was actively attacking and defending.
On the Lakers, although the players in the second team are working hard to show themselves, due to the gap in overall strength, they are still passive. Only Zhou Hang can score sporadically, and it is quite difficult for others to score a goal in a sports game.
Barkley said: "Obviously, Phil is just a warm-up for Zhou Hang in this game. This is the second-team tactic around Zhou Hang, but it is difficult to defeat the current Warriors with the second-team."
"It doesn't matter to the Lakers whether to win or not, they want to meet the Warriors in the playoffs, not the Nuggets."
"We look forward to next week to see what he can do in this situation, after all, his condition is a bit worrying recently."
Smith said: "The Warriors can't underestimate him, be careful to be killed by him."
With 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, Zhou Hang was moved to the point guard position, and Famal was replaced by Vujasic.
Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
It's still Stephen Jackson defending Zhou Hang.
Jackson has been named "bad kid" since his time at the Pacers. After the "Auben Hill Palace" incident, violence has become synonymous with him.
However, it is undeniable that Jackson is an extremely efficient player on the court.
Now Jackson is gradually entering a decline in his career. Now he is a three-good player who is desperately defending, sharp three-pointers and never gives up.
Zhou Hang fought Stephen Jackson for most of the period, probably also knew Stephen Jackson's style and the Warriors' defensive system.
The Warriors' defensive system is not strong. They do not have good franchise protection players, and there are many loopholes in the outside defense. If the Lakers start, it will not be difficult to win them.
It’s just that it’s a bit difficult for the second team to crack it through team capabilities.
Zhou Hang played a pick-and-roll tactic, and the ski man brought the cover.
The ski man sturdyly blocked Stephen Jackson.
Zhou Shipping moved one step at a time, and took three-pointers decisively from outside the three-point line.

The basketball drew a wonderful arc!
"Swish!"
Chapter completed!
