NBA: Fusion of Pangu makes Kobe Bryant cry with envy!

Chapter 99

When the news of Tucker's transfer appeared, it really caused turmoil in the league.

The reason for the turmoil was not because of how strong Tucker was as a player, but more from the Lakers as a team.

After Kobe was injured, the overall strength of the Lakers plummeted, and now they traded the team's future potential players at the beginning of the season.

Originally, under this situation, the Lakers should have completed the reconstruction.

But Su Pan's performance in the new season exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone knows that Su Pan, the No. 1 pick, is very strong, but no one expected that he would be so strong.

This made the Lakers, who were supposed to be rebuilding, suddenly have the hope of impacting the playoffs and even reaching the finals to win the trophy!

However, if you want to get involved in the championship, the Lakers' current lineup is not safe.

After all, except Kobe, the entire Lakers team has no championship experience.

And Kobe is already 37 years old, who can guarantee that his future state will be the same as at the beginning of the season.

So on this basis, the Lakers must strengthen!

And the selection of the Lakers' rifle has always touched the hearts of Lakers fans.

The night the deal was reached, ESPN held a symposium

"I think the Lakers made a good deal, as they got a player who can fight immediately."

ESPN’s well-known expert Mike Breen appeared in front of the camera, and a string of subtitles popped up next to him.

It recorded which NBA teams the person had played for and which college teams he had coached.

"Although PJ Tucker is very strong, he can only bring little improvement to the team."

"A role player just joined the team, and it won't bring about any qualitative changes to the Lakers."

"The team should let him play in the substitute period to see the effect, and then they may promote him to the starting power forward position."

After hearing this, many people also agreed with Mike Breen's opinion.

After all, when Tucker joined the Lakers, he could only provide the team with an average of 8 points in 30 minutes of playing time in his former team, the Suns.

In the league, this is at most a role player in the upper middle level, not a top player.

The female host next to him smiled slightly.

"So, how would the experts rate the Lakers' signings and trades?"

Mike Breen thought for a moment and answered decisively.

"generally"

"It's just a normal trade, it won't bring much improvement to the Lakers."

Many viewers nodded.

In fact, this trade doesn't make much sense.

After all, it's just a change from a role player to a role player.

It's because the Lakers have traffic that it's worth talking about.

Most people came to the conclusion that it's no big deal, it's just a swap of role players.

At this moment, Amy Johnson next to him suddenly changed the subject.

"However, the next game against the Pacers will test Tucker's quality."

"I think everyone can pay attention to the Lakers' next game."

"That is not an opponent that the Lakers can easily deal with."

Just as Amy Johnson said.

In the next game, there will be an opportunity to test Tucker's ability.

In the next game, the Lakers will play against the Indiana Pacers at home.

Although they are no longer the Pacers that can fight the Heat for 7 games.

But their strength is still very strong.

On both offense and defense, they are a playoff-level team.

Especially on the defensive end, they still have the passion of fighting the Heat for 7 games.

There are also Monta Ellis, CJ Miles, George Hill, Myles Turner and other players in the team, who are not weak in themselves.

In addition, these players of the Pacers are experienced and have a deep lineup. The thickness is very thick, and it is considered the biggest water ghost in the East.

Many teams will feel very headache when they meet them.

Paul George, who was once the core of the team, returned from injury this season.

Although his condition is still worrying, he does not look as lively as he did in the past. He is a little cautious and dare not take action. It is estimated that there is some psychological impact.

However, in recent games, Paul George has gradually regained his form and confidence.

The average data has slowly increased to 20 points and 7 rebounds, and the defensive ability has gradually been recovered.

Even self-confidence is being regained bit by bit.

This also makes many people look forward to the arrival of this game.

On the night of the game, the Pacers came to the Lakers' home court.

Seeing the cheers in the stadium, the Pacers looked solemn.

"The Pacers will probably take our game very seriously tonight."

Kobe wrapped his ankle and whispered to Su Pan beside him:"Especially Paul George, he may use this game to regain his confidence."

"Be careful, they might target you."

Kobe, who is experienced enough, could tell the Pacers' attitude tonight at a glance.

Su Pan looked at the serious expressions of all the Pacers players and nodded.

Sure enough.

After scoring points in the opening jump ball, Su Pan encountered some troubles in the Lakers' second offensive round. As soon as he got into position with the ball, two people came up to double-team him.

The Pacers directly left Thaddeus Young's three-point shot in the bottom corner open, and asked other people not far away to complete the one-on-two operation and continuously assist in defense.

After Su Pan passed the ball to Thaddeus Young, Thaddeus Young's open position in the bottom corner did not hit the target as he wished..

With the comfort of his teammates, Thaddeus Young also waved his fist in annoyance.

In the next three minutes, the two teams went back and forth.

As long as Su Pan got the ball in the paint, he would be double-teamed immediately.

Su Pan also tried to force a score.

But Turner was too cunning. If Su Pan dared to lean forward, he would dare to lie back.

As soon as he lay down, the person next to him would act and a foul call would be issued directly. These two old hands played their acting skills to the fullest, using all kinds of skills to cause Su Pan to commit two fouls.

This allowed Su Pan to pass the ball out more often.

It's a pity that the Lakers' outside shooting was not very good tonight.

"It's rare that the Lakers didn't launch a fierce attack at the beginning"

"The Pacers played very smart tonight, and the Lakers couldn't get going like usual."

"It looks like this, let's see if the Lakers need to make adjustments."

The commentator sighed as he watched the tense situation on the court.

Not far away, on the Lakers bench, Tucker's eyes lit up.

The opportunity has come!

It happened that the Lakers' outside players had a bad start. Although Su Pan's inside attack also hit, it was a bit awkward, and the whole team didn't play well.

At this moment, Tucker and Scott made eye contact, and Scott turned around and called a timeout for substitutions.

"The Lakers took a timeout to make substitutions!"

"Who's up?"

"Is that PJ Tucker?"

"It's really him!"

Tucker walked onto the court wearing a Lakers jersey, put his hands together, blew on his hands, and could not hide his excitement.

The first round he just came on the court was the Lakers' offense.

After serving the ball, Tucker ran to the bottom corner honestly.

Looking at Su Pan who was double-teamed in the interior, Tucker stood in the bottom corner ready to go, expecting a pass from Su Pan.

And Su Pan was double-teamed again.

Feeling Tucker's fiery gaze, he turned around and threw the ball to Tucker who was in the open corner.

Bang!

The basketball was in hand, and there was no one three meters in front of him.

A surging feeling came over him.

He took a deep breath, shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and shot it up

"Anti-python!"

"PJ Tucker shot a three-pointer from the corner as soon as he came on the court!"

"Yes, this is one of the reasons why he came to the Lakers!"

Under the commentators' voices, all the fans in the audience were watching the flight trajectory of the basketball.

Swish!

With a crisp sound, the basketball shot steadily through the basket.

"Nice!"

Byron Scott waved his fist excitedly, and his heart was relieved.

This was their first open three-pointer in this game.

And this was also a sign that PJ Tucker, the championship puzzle, began to shine!

（PJ·Tucker did not play well in this series with the Clippers this year. The key is that he is almost 40 years old. It is undeniable that Tucker was an excellent 3D player in 2015. Congratulations to the Mavericks for defeating the favorite Clippers. Irving really admires him. Anta made a lot of money. Yesterday, the 50% prediction of the return of the god domain was again achieved.

(What's funny is the Clippers. Leonard: I don't play in three games. I don't play in the preseason to keep my energy for the regular season, I don't play in the regular season to keep my energy for the playoffs, and I don't play in the playoffs to keep my energy for the preseason. Don't say anything else, just shout out that slogan: The Clippers will win the championship next year. Speaking of winning five consecutive championships in the offseason, isn't that invincible?)

(Predict the Nuggets to beat the Timberwolves tomorrow!

But in this series, the Big Cat is more optimistic about the Timberwolves.

To be honest, the Nuggets this season are not as strong as last season.

Don't look at Murray's two buzzer beaters, but Murray's shooting percentage has dropped significantly this season, and the Nuggets' current lineup is not deep enough, and the bench is very average.

Murray and Pope are both injured, and if they encounter the Timberwolves' persistence, it is very likely to deepen the hidden dangers of injury.

)

(The intensity of this series is definitely very high, and the two sides will play very fiercely. If the Nuggets want to win, they must end the series as soon as possible. Once the game reaches 5, the lack of lineup depth, player fatigue, and even injuries will become more obvious, which will be more disadvantageous to the Nuggets. So I predict that the Nuggets will take the initiative in tomorrow's game and win the first game. But the Timberwolves will come back and finally advance 4-2.)
