April 2016, 11, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
This arena, which can accommodate nearly 2 people, has already been crowded with people.The players have also played, and now it is warm-up time.After more than ten minutes, the game will start.
An Luo stood at the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer seriously.Since he found that his shooting level will improve through long-term training, he has become more serious about daily training.
But now An Luo was in a trance.
What he felt was: tonight's Staples is completely different from the last two arenas.In fact, the fans were not as active as last time, but when An Luo looked up, he could see the 16 championship banners and the row of retired jerseys.
This feeling is the same as when An Luo first entered the Paley Stadium.The foundation is something that cannot be accumulated without the accumulation of time.Even though the Lakers are in a low period now, those Lakers fans still give people a sense of pride.
"As a Laker, a true Laker!"
"The Lakers Championship!"
An Luo could not feel the pride in these words before.Now, he finally felt a little bit.
As the Staples Center that bears the honor of the Lakers, it is probably only when the Lakers play at home that they can show all their pride!
An Luo once said something like this: As an NBA fan, if you come to Los Angeles and don't go to the Staples Center to watch a real NBA game, you are bound to regret it.He now feels that as a professional player, if he doesn't play a game with the Lakers at Staples in this life, he will really regret it.
In this place, countless miracles in the history of NBA basketball have been written.Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, O'Neal, Kobe...
Countless fans have been crazy here.Regardless of the team's record, Staples is always packed.There has never been a shortage of those big names on the sidelines.As the home of the Lakers, it has the qualifications to make anyone crazy.
For such a team, such an arena.An Luo felt that he had to go all out in tonight's game to be worthy of playing here.
After the American national anthem was played, the game began.
The two teams have played against each other once this season, and the Lakers are far from the Thunder's opponent.Ingram, who they picked with the second pick in this year's draft, did not perform well.This means that the Lakers' reconstruction work will continue for a long time.
In terms of drafting and rookie training, the Lakers' management over the past ten years is not a bit worse than the Thunder's management.Not to mention An Luo, who performed very well, even Sabonis, at this stage, is better than Ingram.
Of course, in the first half of the month, An Luo and Ingram were almost the same, and no one was better than the other.But An Luo, who was in full condition, had already left Ingram far behind.
After scoring 38 points at home, the discussions on the Internet about the best rookie of the year once again disappeared.
This time, the two meet again.I don't know what kind of scene it is.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers gave the Thunder who came from afar a blow.
The Lakers still use the multiplayer style of play today.After the Thunder started with 10:6, veteran Calderon made a three-pointer, and Nick Young also made a long shot.The Lakers scored 8 points in a row to overtake the score.Then the Thunder's shooting percentage dropped sharply and they made consecutive mistakes, allowing the Lakers to seize the opportunity.Although Westbrook and Adams are blooming inside and out, they can barely cope.With Louis Williams scoring 4 points with penalties at the end of the quarter, the Lakers ended the first quarter with 29:16.
In Luke Walton's team, apart from the order of play, there seems to be no difference between the main force and the substitute.This season, the Lakers' record so far is 7 wins and 7 losses, and they temporarily have a place in the Western Conference quarterfinals.In their games, they often use two almost parallel lineups.The players split almost all of their playing time equally.
All the people are soldiers, there is no absolute core.It's a true portrayal of the Lakers in recent seasons.
An Luo still played in the second quarter.In fact, he felt that he could go up in the second half of the first quarter.During that period of time, the team's offense has stagnated.But since Donovan insisted on this arrangement, Xiangbi still had his own reasons.
In the second quarter, An Luo led the second team and started a point-chasing battle.
Christon held the ball across the half court, faced Lu Wei, tried to shake it twice, but had no chance to make a shot, so he handed the ball to An Luo on the right.After receiving the ball, the latter adjusted his direction a little, then suddenly started, trying to rush from the right.He originally wanted to make an emergency stop and pull back outside the three-point line, but Clarkson put An Luo in after a short stop.
Faced with an empty seat, An Luo would naturally not be polite.Raise your hand and shoot, and shoot as soon as you shoot.
An Luo felt that there was something wrong with this man's defense, both in attitude and level.
After the shot, An Luo quickly ran to his defensive area.At this time, Clarkson seemed to be a different person.Move actively and keep asking Lu Wei for the ball.It's a pity that under An Luo's strategy of pinching breakthroughs, his extremely unstable shooting ability once again helped his opponent a lot.
As time passed, the score was gradually caught up by An Luo.
With the last minute left in the first half, Clarkson finally scored his first three-pointer of the quarter with the encouragement of An Luo's half-step.
In the third quarter of the game, the Thunder's three young men were all dispatched.Facing the "no longer heroic" Luer Deng and the immature Ingram, although An Luo suffers a bit in height, there is no problem in defending them.
Thunder's division of labor is very clear.Westbrook advances with the ball and rushes in; if blocked, he will hand it to An Luo to shoot, or to Oladipo; if these two fail to score, Adams and Westbrook will grab the rebound and grab it. Then continue to fight.
There are no complicated tactics and coordination, the most is that Adams pulls up to the high position to do a pick-and-roll for Westbrook.However, the most practical things are often the simplest things.
Although the Lakers played very hard in the third quarter, the gap in strength is still a bit big.
96:71
Another game that lost suspense early.The Lakers played a good quarter, and then had a stalemate with the Thunder.But winning a game is always faster and easier than losing it.
Westbrook sat on the bench, cheering for his teammates.After two consecutive games and three quarters, he clocked in and got both the victory and the statistics. He was very happy.An Luo was at the side, waving the towel round.The other players are also very relaxed.Only Donovan was still observing the situation on the field expressionlessly.Everyone can relax, but not him.
