NBA human tank

Chapter 257

"Good job, Al, keep it up." During the break at the end of the first quarter, Williams praised Aminu from the bench.

Without his central support, it would be difficult for the Pelicans to show a smooth style.In fact, if Yang Yi's organization can also achieve this effect, but he is a super shooter on the team, it would be overkill for him to play the center support, and instead make the Pelicans lose the firepower they rely on to compete with the Lakers.

"Al, not bad!" The fat man patted Aminu on the shoulder.Center support is a technical job, he did not expect Aminu to do so well, he did not make any mistakes in the first quarter.

Facing the compliments from the head coach and the team boss, Aminu didn't speak, but just laughed.

In fact, his heart was like honey, very sweet.Being able to play a central role in the stressful playoffs and connect with his teammates, the sense of accomplishment he achieved is much better than that of him throwing money at a nightclub to pick up girls.

Don't take care of billions of dollars of wealth, but work hard in the NBA, isn't it just for the basketball dream, isn't it just the things in front of you?
Besides, all his teammates have improved this season, and it is impossible for him to stand still and stand still!He deeply understands that with Yang Yi as the leader, they will be able to make great achievements in the alliance.

He is neither the strongest nor the most powerful in the Pelicans, nor can he get a share of the inside.How to survive in this thriving and energetic team is a question he must think about.

Under the arrangement of the head coach and his own exploration, he gradually developed in the direction of a coordinator.No, the effect was seen in the first game of the playoffs. Under his support, the Pelicans played very easily, and the pressure on Yang Yi was also reduced a lot.

The 130-second break isn't that long, it's mostly used to run commercials for advertisers, and it goes by quickly.

Players from both teams re-entered the field.But now it's time for the substitute players to perform, and the main players of both sides are still resting on the bench!

The main players did not decide the outcome, and the substitute players are very critical.This time is often the period when the two sides widen the gap. If one of the substitute players is good and widens the gap for the team, it will be much easier for the main players to play.

At this time, we can see the background of both sides.Although the Pelicans' substitute players showed up a lot when the Pelicans were in the limelight, in general, they are still shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with two or three big cats and kittens; the Lakers are different, they have Chris Duhon, Jordan Hill, Jamison Antoine and other experienced veterans are not bad, and they beat the Pelicans off the bench as soon as they played.

is not it!The salary of the Lakers is the highest in the league, and the difference between the strength of the main force and the substitute is not too big.In fact, many veterans came to the Lakers only after watching the Lakers hit the championship. After all, the Lakers with the Big Four are suffocating on paper.

Kobe and Gasol are champion players, and Howard once led the Magic against the Lakers in the Finals; although Nash is old, the strength of the two-time MVP should not be underestimated.With such a strong lineup, for those veterans who aspire to compete for the championship, it is very cost-effective to join even with a basic salary. What they want is no longer money, but the invisible championship.

Therefore, for them, the formation of the Big Four by the Lakers is an oil lamp in the dark, attracting them to rush forward desperately.

But who would have thought that the formation of the Big Four did not have much effect, and the Lakers almost couldn't even make it to the playoffs.Compared with the F4 of the Lakers at the beginning of the new century, the big four formed this time are far worse. Although the luxury lineup of the Lakers at that time also ended in failure, after all, it is not as close as it is now to almost lose their tickets to the playoffs!

Most importantly, the Pelicans are the culprit that caused the Lakers to almost fail to make the playoffs.After running-in at the beginning of the season, the Big Four of the Lakers have almost run-in, and the team's record has also improved.But in the New Orleans battle, the Lakers not only lost 18 points to the Pelicans, but also lost the record that lasted for more than [-] years, and even lost all the spirit they had cultivated with great difficulty.

The Pelicans have won countless honors, but they lost so much that they couldn't hold their heads up.If they hadn't had a slightly better record than the Rockets, they might have completely said goodbye to the playoffs!
So the Lakers bench took out the accumulated anger on the Pelicans bench.Aren't the main players equally divided, and it's hard to tell the winner?Let's take you bastards as targets!
The Lakers substitute thinks so, and even more so.They dominated the game on both ends of the offense and defense, completely playing with the Pelicans bench in the palm of their hands.

Of course, if Yang Yi was on the field, they probably wouldn't dare to do so.In the previous record defense battle, Yang Yi did not play cards according to common sense. He played at the beginning of the second quarter, and a few three-pointers made them lose their way.At that time, what they thought was how to limit Yang Yi's performance, instead of doing whatever he wanted like now.

Less than 2 minutes into the opening of the second quarter, the Lakers had already played an 8:2 attack wave, and at 39:36, the Lakers easily overtook the score.

The Pelicans will be stunned off the court.Nima, this is too useless!In the first quarter, they finally took the lead and were overtaken like this. It's not true!

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Williams quickly applied for a timeout.Now it is only three points behind by the Lakers, but if it continues to play, according to the current momentum of the Lakers, Williams will not be surprised if the score is stretched to double digits.

In fact, Williams did not blame them, after all, this is the playoffs, and the gap between the two sides is also very large, it is normal to be abused!

The off-field substitute players drooped their heads one by one, very dull.Darius Miller and Lance Thomas, who were most familiar with Yang Yi, both lowered their heads and said nothing.

Yang Yi originally wanted to say a few words about them, but seeing that everyone was not interested, he had to take on the role of team boss, hey, he was such a role.

"Brothers, isn't it just a wave of 8:2? Don't worry about this, or I will go with you, and we will come back at 9:3?"

Although Yang Yi's words were insane and a little funny, his teammates just followed him. He has already proved with his strength that he has this confidence and ability.

"Boss, why don't we go up and beat up those old guys now. If the tiger doesn't show its power, they really think we are sick cats!" Gordon also joined in the fun.

"Go, why are you joining in the fun? I'll take them up to have fun." The fat man slapped Gordon on the head to keep him from talking.

"Ha ha……"

The Pelicans were amused by Yang Yi and Gordon's performance.Although the fat man's actions caused Gordon to be dissatisfied, he successfully eliminated the tension within the team.
