Chapter 117 Role Players Step Up
"There~!"

After returning from the timeout, the thick eyebrows stepped forward immediately, and used a long two-pointer with a pick-and-roll outside cut for the Lakers to break the scoring shortage.

"After almost 4 minutes of playing, the Lakers finally scored." O'Neal sweated for his home team.

If the game continues like this, today it is very likely that they will be slaughtered by a big score. The Lakers without James are too struggling to face the top teams.

Thick Eyebrow's hard solution ability is far from Shaq's.

In the rest of the first quarter, the Lakers could only rely on the piecemeal play of the thick eyebrows and the cold play of the shooters to barely bite the score. At the end of 12 minutes, they fell behind 38 to 29.

"The Lakers have to find a way to limit Jokic. His performance in the first quarter may be able to get a large double-double of 30+30 today."

"Maybe try double-teaming?"

O'Neal looked at the statistics in the first quarter. Jokic, the new FMVP, had scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, almost breaking the Lakers in the first quarter by himself.

In the second quarter, the two sides exchanged substitutes. The Lakers' substitutes were more competitive, and they operated like a wolf and a tiger, narrowing the point difference to 6 points.

Since Russell went to the bench, the lower limit of the Lakers' bench combat effectiveness has been guaranteed. If he can continue this performance, he might be able to play as the best sixth man at the end of the season.

"Nice job."

Li Kaiwen and the off-field substitutes clapped hands one after another. In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, the two teams continued to play the main force.

Sharp-eyed spectators in the front row will notice that Li Kaiwen put on a white elbow pad before playing in this quarter.

In this attack, Li Kaiwen directly used his body to push Murray away from the high position, and directly jumped high and made a long two-point shot.

"Shua~!" After putting on the "Alan Houston's Elbow Pad", the effect was immediate, and this time the shot was extremely stretched.

Hit directly!

"After Li entered the NBA, the accuracy of this shot has become higher and higher." Barkley admired his decisive attack this time, but then he put forward higher requirements for this Chinese youth whose style of play is very close to his own later in his career.

"When he can practice three-pointers, then he can really consider hitting the best rookie."

It seems that Lao Ba still has a morbid obsession with three-pointers. After all, he only made three-pointers in the early [-]s, and he insisted on throwing so many three-pointers every game.

Commonly known as people's food addiction!

The battle continued, and Jokic, who turned around, continued his classic high-level support. Murray, who had just been shot in the face, accelerated to come behind him in an instant, and was about to hit a hand.

But just as the two were about to blend in with each other, a big hand suddenly inserted into it, and the death entanglement of Li Kaiwen, the "little three", directly squeezed the basketball away from the two of them!

"Li Kaiwen's excellent lateral speed coupled with his long arms, it is basically difficult for defenders to avoid his pursuit!"

"Murray has to squeeze out some more space. Lee will not give him an easy chance to catch the ball today."

The two fat guys sat in the live broadcast room and continued to give advice.

Li Kaiwen, who successfully steals the game, immediately launched a quick counterattack, show time!

Although the Nuggets returned to defense quickly, Jokic was helpless like an aircraft carrier turning around, and was left far behind by Shelby.

Lao Li reached the hinterland of the Nuggets in three steps, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and made a ghostly pass—hitting the ground from his crotch to Shelby behind him.

Shelby stretched his hands and bent his bow, and the three-pointer was like a shooting star!
"Shua~!" Hit the bull's-eye!
"Good shot~!" Li Kaiwen encouraged the good second brother loudly, and slapped his butt for a while.

It wasn't until the Nuggets kicked the ball out from the backcourt that Jokic rushed over slowly shaking his big butt.

Facing Shelby, who succeeded in stealing chickens, he also responded.

He turned into a point guard again, dribbled the ball across half court, and then directly opened his hand at the top of the arc for a three-pointer!

Jokic's shooting posture is very weird, almost behind his head, coupled with his super high shooting arc, Shelby tried his best but failed to interfere.

"Shua~!" Answer ball!

"I'm not afraid that the center loves to dribble, but I'm afraid that the center will shoot with the ball." Barkley teased O'Neal next to him.

"Shaq, if you participate in the draft in the past two years, will any coach force you to practice three-pointers?"

"Come on Charles, my three-pointers are pretty accurate now, I just don't want to shoot." O'Neal counterattacked immediately.

Before the two could speak, they saw Li Kaiwen once again crushing Murray's small body and rushing in. When Porter came to help defend, he passed the ball to Rui Hachimura who had been missed.

Seeing that the open space had appeared, Rui Hachimura did not rush to shoot a three-pointer immediately.

He accelerated directly on the spot, and Jokic, who was preparing to help defend according to the inside line, ran into him.

Although Jokic tried his best to control his body, he still got a foul.

When playing against the Nuggets last season, Rui Hachimura performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense. He is one of the few role players who can provide support for Zhan Mei.

Standing on the free throw line, Xiao Baga took a deep breath and made two free throws without hesitation.

The role players of the Lakers seem to have recovered!
In the next round, Rui Hachimura ran back again and got a chance to make a mobile phone, facing Jokic and making a layup.

But then Porter shot back and made a three-pointer with a big jerk.

You come and go on both sides, and the scores began to rise alternately. At the end of the second quarter, the score was fixed at 66 to 61. The Lakers were not killed by the Nuggets.

Today, the Lakers' role players also seem to want to avenge their sweep last season. After halftime, Baga scored 8 points, Shelby 7 points, and Rivers 11 points.

Li Kaiwen didn't play much in the first half. Under his needlework, the Nuggets' defense began to expand and move outward, leaving more room for him and thick eyebrows to play.

"In the third quarter, let's play zone defense and protect the inside. I feel that the Nuggets' three-pointers today are not very accurate!" Hamm looked at Jokic, who had already scored 25 points in the first half, and his head hurt a little.

He decided to change his defensive strategy and limit Jokic's scoring effect in the paint.

Such a big, big, thick white cock is overwhelming in the Lakers penalty area, even a dignified man can't stand it!
However, he didn't criticize Shelby's defense too much, because inducing Jokic's personal offense is the tone of the game, and other Nuggets players just don't shoot.

He can't expect this rookie who doesn't seem to have a bright mind to be able to trade with the No. 1 golfer in the world, that's unrealistic.

"plum."

After drinking the drink in the cup with thick eyebrows, he turned his head to Li Kaiwen beside him. The two eyebrows that were almost connected into a line made Lao Li almost burst out laughing.

"We... also hand in hand!"

Thick eyebrows want to make room for Li Kaiwen in the low position!

Li Kaiwen understood what he meant, and gave up a wide space for him to rush in and make fouls, maybe he could punish Jokic!

　I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
