NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

But after learning the lesson just now, Chang Tiancheng communicated with Kelden in advance and asked Kelden to defend James.

Keldon's physical fitness is extremely good, and his height and strength are not a disadvantage to James, which also makes it difficult for James to be consistent one-on-one in every round.

As a result, the Lakers' offense has been hampered, while the Spurs' offense has become more and more violent. After facing Hachimura, Wembanyama regained his sense on the offensive end, and the shooting percentage was very high, whether it was a mid-range shot or using his back.

By the end of the second quarter, the Lakers, who had a lead at the end of the first quarter, were now trailing the Spurs by five points at 54:59.

At halftime, Wembanyama excitedly found Chang Tiancheng: "Chang, although I have known the magic of Popovich for a long time, it was not until this game that I really felt the charm of his tactics.

Chang Tiancheng smiled and thought to himself: I will tell you that when he left you off the court alone, I already knew his tactical arrangement after that?

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs once again sent their own bench lineup: Vassell, Graham, McDermott, Collins, Sandro.

And the Lakers also sent a bench lineup, and they chose to let the main team of thick eyebrows and James rest for a while, and during this time, it was up to Hachimura, Lonnie Walker and others to maintain the offense.

But the Spurs' bench showed a high level of tactical literacy, and halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers not only did not chase the score back, but also trailed by nine points.

Coach Hamm finally couldn't take it anymore and sent out his starting lineup.

He looked at the Spurs' bench and thought to himself: McDermott in the seven-second fast-break lineup has been playing for a while, and Popovich should have no change in his moves, and now he is the starter.

Popovich did not continue to change, and honestly sent his starting lineup.

The Lakers attacked, James faced Chang Tiancheng, this time, James did not choose to hit him directly with his back, but called Bamba to block and dismantle for himself, and then accelerated past Drummond, and completed a one-handed tomahawk split dunk against Wembanyama's supplementary defense.

The goal sparked a huge cheer from the Lakers fans in attendance, who knew that James was ready to take over the game.

Chang Tiancheng dribbled the ball to the front court and passed the ball to Keldon. Keldon was about to get rid of Rivers' defense with the ball, but was tackled by James who suddenly rushed out from the side.

James took advantage of the situation to launch a single fast attack, Chang Tiancheng would chase at full speed, but the physical fitness of the two was still too different, Chang Tiancheng tried to pull the corner of James's clothes before James was ready to go to the basket, and pulled James down, but he was unable to stop him from scoring a layup.

When the referee's whistle blew, Chang Tiancheng's foul just now was too obvious, and the referee deserved to blow his foul.

James' eyes were resolute, and after a slight movement of his shoulders, he hit the free throw steadily.

Keldon dribbled the ball and wanted to pass it to Chang Tiancheng, but when he saw James' fierce eyes, he had to put the idea on hold for the time being, and instead gave the ball to Sochan in the bottom corner.

After Sochan received the ball, he found that Wembanyama had stuck the position of the thick eyebrows on the inside, so he decisively passed the ball over.

As soon as Wembanyama received the ball, he was caught by Bamba and Thick Eyebrows, and under the blocking of the two long arms, he couldn't even pass the ball out, and under the struggle, he was still snatched the ball from his hands by Thick Eyebrows.

After receiving the ball, the thick eyebrows immediately found James, who was already playing fast.

James came to the basket, faced Sochan's pursuit, deliberately slowed down, and after a physical confrontation with him, threw the ball directly to the Spurs' basket.

The referee's whistle blew again, and James' shot also smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket.

After hitting the free throw again, James scored eight points in a row, and the Lakers instantly narrowed the gap to one point.

Chang Tiancheng deliberately slowed down the pace of ball control, he knew that the coach did not call a timeout when he was chasing points like this, but believed that he would make corresponding adjustments on the court, so he gestured to his teammates and signaled his teammates not to worry.

Because he observed that after just a few rounds of fast-breaking, James was starting to catch a little.

You know, James is now a veteran who is almost forty years old, even if he has superhuman physical fitness, he will be a little tired after experiencing the wave of outbursts just now.

And the most obvious manifestation of a person's fatigue on the basketball court is the decline in defensive quality.

At the moment when James was distracted, Chang Tiancheng suddenly pulled up and completed a long-range three-point shot with extremely fast shooting speed, re-stretching the score of the two teams to four points.

James clenched his fist with his other hand as he carried the ball, and he began to blow into his fist. He wanted to lift his strength and help the team close the score again.

After a dribble, he forced his way inside the Spurs. After getting rid of Keldon, he let out a big shout, forced his body off Wembanyama, and made a low-handed layup.

But this time his jump height was much lower than before, and the basketball smashed on the side of the basket and failed to score.

Drummond hurriedly grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Chang Tiancheng.

After Chang Tiancheng received the ball, he dribbled twice, took a big step outside the Lakers' three-point line, and hit another three-pointer again.

The score was stretched to 7 points again, which made the offensive climax that James had just played almost go down the drain.

And the heartbeat of the Lakers audience at the scene has begun to accelerate. First, his team leader tried his best to close the score, but Chang Tiancheng's two three-pointers were an understatement to resolve James's attack.

When it was even more infuriating, Chang Tiancheng was originally a player for the Lakers, and he was even on a rookie contract

! Although he had only played less than one game with the Lakers, he had already shown good ability, but the Lakers actually traded him the day after he finished the game!

Chang Tiancheng's injury last season once made Lakers fans forget about the management's operation, but now he returned to Staples with the Spurs and made his own team play so hard, which has to make fans hate the management's operation again.

It's just a rookie, the contract is so small, why not let him play a few more games?!

But it's useless to regret it now, Lakers fans can only watch Chang Tiancheng face James again on the court and shoot a three-pointer.
