Chapter 609 New Season Substitute Group

Chapter 609 New Season Substitute Group

7 points behind the opponent in the first quarter, this is a small disadvantage.

Returning to the field in the second quarter, the two sides entered a normal rotation.

In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers' second team took the lead. Pope made 3 of 2 free throws, Kuzma also scored a three-pointer, and the difference between the two teams was quickly caught up to 3 points.

Since then, the Bucks' Snell and Le have cooperated with each other and scored 4 points in a row, helping the Bucks to expand the point difference to 7 points again.

But at the end of the second quarter, Harrell, the Lakers' new best sixth man, suddenly broke out. After scoring a three-pointer, he went back 2+1 independently and led the team to a 9-0 attack wave in one breath, helping the Lakers overtake the score.

Harrell roared angrily after his meritorious deeds.

Harrell, who usually has a weird temper, yelled directly at Kobe after making a wave of great achievements at this moment.

The Lakers generals who were still cheering for Harrell suddenly took a breath.

This Harrell is quite courageous, and he even dared to get angry with the head coach after scoring a little!

Harrell is obviously questioning Kobe, why not let him start!

When Kobe saw Harrell yelling at him, he just smiled, and then calmly changed players, allowing Gasol Jr. to appear on the court.

Gasol usually only plays in the third quarter, playing a wave of cooperation with Ge Feng, who leads the team with a single core.

Today, Gasol Jr. was directly put on the court by Kobe, and it was clear that he was going to squeeze Harrell's playing time.

Harrell didn't expect Kobe to be so ruthless, because of a roar, he directly pushed himself down on the bench because he was feeling hot.

Kobe smiled nonchalantly.

Suppressing Harrell is a must, and no player can openly question the authority of the head coach.

Especially Harrell, he has not yet proved that he is the most irreplaceable player in this league, so he is not qualified to yell at Kobe.

Kobe's substitution made the Staples fans burst into laughter.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Don't think that Kobe will lose his popularity after five years of retirement.

Although Harrell is known as the best sixth man in the league, his popularity is still much weaker than that in front of Kobe.

As long as Kobe is willing, even if Harrell is no longer played this year, fans will not complain about Kobe.

This is the popularity gap in the NBA.

Harrell is famous for his arrogance in the Clippers and loves to slander his teammates, but when the Lakers came, a Kobe made Harrell shiver.

After Gasol came on the field, the effect was not as obvious as when Harrell was on the field.

But Kobe doesn't care about that.

The 4-point advantage that Harrell helped the Lakers establish just now, as long as Gasol can hold it, it will be considered a great achievement.

In the end, at the end of halftime, the Lakers led the Bucks by 4 points through their strong bench depth.

From trailing by 7 points in the first quarter to leading by 4 points before the start of the second half, the depth of the Lakers' lineup is indeed much better than the previous two years.

In the first two years, the Lakers scored crazy points from the Big Three, and then when the Big Three rested, their advantages would always be eroded by their opponents.

This year, the Lakers finally stand up and become the masters.

Whether it's Harrell, Kuzma, Pope, Caruso on the bench, or Gasol Jr. who is good at defense, they are all titans who can attack, defend and organize, and they are not inferior to the starting five.

Officially because of the outstanding performance of the Lakers' bench team in the new season, the Lakers' starting team can safely polish the triangle tactics.

In the third quarter of the game, Bucks coach Budenholzer obviously couldn't sit still.

As soon as the second half started, Budenholzer put Antetokounmpo on the field.

Kobe looked at the situation and felt that the Lakers did not need to change the lineup for the time being.

At the beginning of the second half, Antetokounmpo started directly one step from the three-point line just like the first quarter, and rushed into the inside to complete dunks.

Antetokounmpo's powerful performance inspired the spirit of the Bucks' bench team.

But soon, Pope stood up and responded.

Pope was once ridiculed by fans as the "Crouching Dragon" of the Lakers in the Lakers. He often sees the head but does not see the tail, and disappears when he hits it.

However, in the past two years, Pope suddenly ushered in the peak of his career, averaging 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He is the player with the most points on the Lakers team except for Ge Feng, Schroeder and Big Eyebrow.

As early as the beginning of last season, a very strange law appeared on Pope-Popper's law.

The general meaning of Pope's law is that as long as Pope scores, the Lakers can win the game.

In the seven-game winning streak the Lakers won last year, Pope scored in every game, including 3 games, even reaching double digits.

Before the seven-game winning streak, in the game where the Lakers lost to the Clippers, Pope didn't score a point, so the Lakers lost the game.

After the seven-game winning streak, Pope's score dropped to 0 again, so the Lakers' longest winning streak of the season was ended at 7 consecutive victories.

Since then, Pope's Law has been circulating among fans.

As long as Pope can score, the Lakers have a high probability of winning.

But after the second half of last season, Pope's law seems to be less effective.

In the second half of last season, Pope averaged 15.3 points per game, becoming the Lakers' "invisible Big Three."

Moreover, in the new season between the Lakers and the Bucks, Pope also performed well.

In 14 minutes of playing, he has scored 9 points and 2 assists.

Just now, after Antetokounmpo completed the dunk, Pope returned to the half court and immediately scored a three-pointer to pay back.

Antetokounmpo was a little depressed, it was the Bucks' turn to attack, Antetokounmpo made a fake move to force Pope, and hit a key layup again.

But Antetokounmpo fell off the field in order to hit this layup.

The Lakers took the opportunity to fight back, and Pope took the lead again. Before Antetokounmpo came back, he made a strong breakthrough, causing Matthews to foul.

All the fans applauded Pope together.

Kobe nodded in satisfaction.

Thousands of calculations have been made, but Pope can also compete with Brother Antetokounmpo.

So, never underestimate any NBA player.

A super giant refers to a player who has played steadily all year round, but every NBA player who explodes is at the level of Michael Jordan.

The reason why Michael Jordan is called the god of basketball is not because he is really invincible in playing, but because he can maintain his peak state for a long time.

This is something most players can't do.

For example, Derek Rose, Rose of the Windy City, was stalwart enough at his peak, but he was doomed to be a flash in the pan and could not last long.

Such Rose, the overall career is also far from the super giant.

But is Rose strong in his prime?

powerful……

That is really strong!

Almost even LeBron, who had a complete lineup, was put down by Rose alone.

In the middle of the third quarter, Kobe changed one after another, slowly replacing Ge Feng, Davis, Schroeder and others.

At this time, the Lakers still led the Bucks by 3 points...
