Super Heavy Artillery

v3 Chapter 40 - Clock in off work

  | | |  -> ->   November 23, 2016, Los Angeles Staples Center.

   This arena that can accommodate nearly 20,000 people is already crowded. The players have also played, and now is the warm-up time. After more than ten minutes, the game will begin.

   An Luo stood at the top of the arc, making a three-pointer seriously. Since he discovered that his shooting skills will improve through long training sessions, he has taken daily training more seriously.

   But An Luo is in a daze now.

   gave him the feeling that Staples tonight is completely different from the last time. In fact, the fans are not as active as the last time, but when An Luo looks up, he can see the 16 championship flags and the row of retired jerseys.

   This feeling is the same as when An Luo first entered the Pali Stadium. This thing of heritage, without the accumulation of time, really cannot accumulate. Even though the Lakers are at a low point now, those Lakers fans still feel proud and proud.

   “As a Laker, an authentic 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 carries 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 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 will definitely regret it. He now feels that as a professional player, if he didn’t play a game with the Lakers at Staples in his life, he would really regret it.

   In this place, countless miracles in the history of NBA basketball have been written. Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, O’Neal, Kobe…

  Countless fans have been crazy here. Regardless of the team’s record, Staples will always be full. The sidelines have never lacked those celebrities. As the home court of the Lakers, it has the qualification to make anyone crazy.

   For such a team, such an arena. An Luo feels that he must go all out in tonight’s game to be worthy of playing here.

After    played and sang the American national anthem, 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.

   On draft and rookie training, the management of the Lakers in the past ten years is not even worse than the management of the Thunder. Not to mention the excellent performance of An Luo, even Sabonis, at this stage, seems to be better than Ingram.

   Of course, in the first half of the month, An Luo was at odds with Ingram, no one is better than anyone. But An Luo, in full condition, had already left Ingram far behind.

   After scoring 38 points at home, the online discussions about this year’s best rookie were once again hidden.

   In this scene, the two met again. I don’t know what it is like.

   In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers gave Oklahoma from afar.

   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 exceed the score. Then the Thunder’s shooting rate dropped sharply, and consecutive turnovers allowed the Lakers to seize the opportunity. Although Westbrook and Adams blossomed inside and out, they could barely cope. As Louis Williams scored 4 points with a penalty shot at the end of the quarter, the Lakers ended the first quarter with 29:16.

   Luke Walton’s team, apart from the order of play, there seems to be no difference between the main players and the substitutes. This season, the Lakers have a record of 7 wins and 7 losses so far, and they have a place in the Western Conference Finals. They often use two almost parallel lineups in the game. The players almost evenly distributed all their playing time.

   All the people are soldiers, there is no absolute core. This is the true portrayal of the Lakers in the past few seasons.

   An Luo still played in the second quarter. In fact, he thinks he can go up in the second half of the first quarter. During that period, the team’s offense has stalled. But since Donovan insisted on this arrangement, he still has his own reason for thinking.

   In the second quarter, An Luo took the second team and started the chasing battle.

   Christon held the ball for half the time, faced Lu Wei, tried to shake it twice, and without a chance to shoot, he handed the ball to An Luo on the right. After receiving the ball, the latter adjusted the direction a bit, and suddenly started, trying to jump over from the right. He originally wanted to pull back beyond the three-point line after an emergency stop, but Clarkson put An Luo in after a short block.

   Facing the vacant seat, An Luo would naturally not be polite. Raise your hand and shoot, just shoot in.

  An Luo feels that this man’s defense, whether it is attitude or level, is problematic.

After    shot, An Luo quickly ran to his defensive area. Clarkson at this time was like a different person. Actively move, and keep asking Lu Wei for the ball. It is a pity that under Anluo’s strategy of pinching and breaking through, his extremely unstable projection ability ~www.wuxiax.com~ once again helped the opponent a lot.

   As time passed, An Luo followed up the score bit by bit.

   With the last minute left in the first half, Clarkson finally made his first three-pointer in this quarter, encouraged by An Luo’s half-step.

   In the third quarter of the game, all three Thunder Juniors were dispatched. In the face of Ruel Deng and the immature Ingram, who was “lost”, although An Luo suffered a bit in height, he still had no problem defending himself.

  Thunder’s division of labor is very clear. Westbrook advances with the ball and rushes in; if blocked, hand it over to Anlo to shoot, or hand it over to Oladi Poto; if these two can’t score, Adams and Westbrook will rebound and grab it. Continue to fight.

   There is no complicated tactics and coordination, at best, Adams pulls to a high position to do a pick-and-roll for Westbrook. However, the most practical is often the simplest thing.

   Although the Lakers played very hard in the third quarter, there is still a big gap in strength.

  96:71

   is another game that lost suspense early. The Lakers played a good game and then stalemate with the Thunder. But winning a game is always faster and easier than losing a game.

   Westbrook sits on the bench, cheering for his teammates. After two consecutive games and three quarters, he clocked in and got off work. He got the victory and the statistics. He was very happy. An Luo was aside, the towel waved roundly. The other players are also very relaxed. Only Donovan was still observing the situation on the court blankly. Everyone can relax, but he can’t.
