Chapter 644

Chapter 644

The situation between the Warriors and the Lakers is completely different. The Warriors are rarely as dull as the Lakers before, while the Lakers are cheered by the fans!

"Children, I need you to keep calm, I don't want to see you in such a state!"

Wilkens said helplessly to the players that the previous game could only be described as normal for him, but in the hearts of these players, this situation really made them a little frustrated!

Before, as a strong team, even if the Warriors would lose the game, they still maintained their optimistic mood!

However, after O'Neal's dunk before, the mood of the Warriors players has gradually changed, which also makes the dignifiedness that has not appeared for a long time weigh on their hearts!

"Bruce, I think the Warriors will adjust quickly, and I still have good confidence in them!"

Although Gerald Wallace still looked very sincere when he said these words, as a Lakers fan, he had to choose between his friends and the team!

"Brad, I'm not worried about Tim's emotions. What I'm worried about is that they will gradually develop some hesitation towards themselves after going through this incident. That will be something I don't want to see!"

Bruce said something with a frown, and then he looked bright and said with a smile: "Of course, I believe they are the best in this league!"

"drop!!"

As Bavita's whistle blew again, the double opponents replaced their substitutes one after another, and the cheers that were originally very hot also dropped a lot inexplicably!

As we all know, the Warriors' bench is the top in the league. No matter whether they have a strong main force or not, at least the combination of Ginobili, Malone, and Payton is very impactful!

If you add Kyle Korver and Pietrus, who are gradually improving in performance, the Warriors' substitutes are almost as good as the main players of some weak teams!

As the substitutes from both sides came on stage one after another, the enthusiastic cheers in the Staples Arena completely disappeared. Everyone watched the stadium with a sense of huge difference on their faces, and some fans were even stunned in surprise. Take your seat!

On the court, as soon as Ginobili, Malone and others came on the field, they quickly broke up the Lakers' defense line with their sharp attacks, especially Ginobili's breakthrough. His performance simply brought the Lakers Very big disaster!

As for Duncan and the others who were still a little depressed sitting off the court, after seeing the performance of Ginobili and the others, their expressions gradually changed from dignified and unhappy to calm and expectant!

As the game between the two sides gradually approached the end of the first quarter, under the play of Ginobili and others, the Warriors directly reduced the previous lead of the Lakers to about 5 points!

Among them, if Rick Fox, who was not placed on the bench, performed well, I am afraid that the Lakers will quickly lose their lead in this quarter!

"drop!!"

As the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, even though the performance of the Lakers' substitutes was not very qualified, they still received cheers from the fans!

Back off the court, Wilkens didn't talk about what happened before. Instead, he kept encouraging the players and using his gentlest tone to enlighten them!

Under Wilkens' enlightenment, the expressions of Duncan and others gradually returned to normal, and the once very familiar jokes finally came out of the rest area!

On the other side of the Lakers side, O'Neal was sitting on the bench. When he vaguely heard the chatter and laughter from the Warriors, his mood fell instantly!

The adjustment ability of the Warriors surprised him so much. Under the exceptionally strong performance of the Lakers before, the Warriors were still able to get rid of the frustration in their hearts at such a fast speed. This feeling is very familiar to O'Neal. The current Lakers are like the current Warriors. Every time they are frustrated, relying on the explosion of him and Kobe and the enlightenment of Phil Jackson, it is like the current situation of the Warriors!

However, the feeling now is like quicksand. Although it is slow, it is very obvious that he feels that what he lost will never come back!

"drop!!"

As the whistle sounded in the second quarter, Phil Jackson did not choose to replace them when the substitutes were not playing well, but still maintained the previous lineup!

Back on the court, Ginobili and others still showed a very good state. In the 5 minutes of the first quarter, after Ginobili broke out, it was the turn of the veteran combination of Malone and Payton to break out!

For example, now, Malone completed a screen with Payton as quickly as he was in his prime. With his quick cut, under Payton's ingenious pass, he completed an attack very easily!

Among the two lineups of the Warriors, the two veterans, Malone and Payton, have great roles and contributions. Not to mention their previous peak star status, only their valuable experience is what the Warriors desire!

In the second quarter of the game, as Malone and Payton became more and more powerful threats, in the 6th minute, as the Warriors directly overtook the Lakers by one point, Phil Jackson finally couldn't bear it. My main force has changed into the field!

"Look, I said the Warriors will definitely recover, they are the top team in the league!"

Brad Pitt patted Bruce on the shoulder hard after a slight awkwardness flashed in his eyes.

"Looks like they're doing pretty well!"

Bruce said something with a smile on his face, and then looked into the Warriors' rest area!

However, when he saw that Wilkens still didn't replace Duncan and the others, he couldn't help being surprised!

After experiencing the blow in the first quarter, what Duncan and others need now is to quickly regain the lost confidence, and from the fact that Ben Wallace and others are still playing, Wilkens' arrangement is obvious Make him incomprehensible!

Back on the court, the Warriors' substitutes, who held high the banner of offense before, quickly shifted their focus to the defensive end!

These players, under the influence of Ben Wallace's powerful restraint and hot atmosphere in the interior, everyone seemed to be working hard, using their strongest defense to put pressure on the Lakers time and time again!

As time went by, when the Warriors' substitutes used sturdy defense to force the Lakers to lead them by only 4 points, Wilkens finally replaced these players in the 8th minute. Mission accomplished!

"Tim, I hope you and Dirk can stand up one after another. The current team needs you to control the game!"

Wilkens stared at Duncan and Nowitzki with burning eyes, looking at these two core players of the Warriors, his tone was full of trust!

"We'll get the job done!"

Duncan still said something dull, and then, with a strong fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, he clapped his hands, and the two of them walked to the court with Nowitzki first!

Bruce watched Duncan and Nowitzki silently, recalling the increasingly powerful performance and growth of their combination, his heart was filled with pride and joy!

"The combination between them will definitely become one of the strongest in the history of the league, I firmly believe!!" Bruce said with a serious look in his eyes, and said so firmly in his heart!

As Duncan and others entered the field one after another, the contest between the two sides began!

In the interior, Duncan seems to be full of energy. Every time he defends, people can clearly feel the feeling that he is trying his best. In addition, the high-post Nowitzki is still full of cross-hairs. Even if the Lakers continue to Good defense, but under the gradual explosion of the two, it is still difficult for them to lead the Warriors by more points!

When the third quarter ended, the Warriors finally tied the score for the first time after falling behind by as many as three quarters with the performance of Duncan and Nowitzki in the last half of the quarter!

Afterwards, as the fourth quarter began, the Lakers' change suddenly disrupted the rhythm the Warriors had been used to before!

Without him, the current Lakers team can be described as a mixed main force on the bench. Except for Fisher who controls the rhythm on the court, the rest of the players are all substitute players!

"Derek!!"

When Phil Jackson came to the front court with the ball again, he quickly shouted to the opponent. When the opponent looked back, he hurriedly swiped his hands quickly. Obviously he was planning some kind of tactics!

After receiving Jackson's instructions, Fischer's face suddenly revealed a look of extreme excitement!

In the next 5 minutes, Fisher seemed to have suddenly become the core player in this lineup. Apart from organizing, he put most of his energy on the offensive end!

Not to mention, the offensive performance of this solid guard really made Billups a little depressed!

Whether it's an emergency stop jump shot, or some unsteady three-pointers, Fisher's performance can be called a superstar level!

As Fisher gradually broke out as a bug-like performance, the Lakers finally extended their lead to about four points again!

When the two sides fought to the 7th minute, Jackson seemed to understand that the current time period was very good, and then he replaced Kobe and others on the field!

"Damn, it looks like we have a great chance of losing this game!"

Payton stared at the field with a displeased expression, watching O'Neal and the others appear to be alive and well in the first quarter as soon as they entered the court. After discovering that Duncan and the others had made good hits but were gradually suppressed by these guys, he couldn't help but spit. !

In the end, when the Lakers relied on the amazing connection between O'Neal and Kobe, the Lakers finally won a precious victory at their home court with a score of 85:80!
