The first quarter of the game passed quickly, and the Los Angeles Lakers' performance could only be considered unsatisfactory. The team led the Sharks 27-25. Although they were not behind, the 2-point gap was really not enough.
Especially in the first quarter, the Lakers' teamwork was almost in a mess. If it weren't for the fact that they were playing a preseason game, head coach Mike D'Antoni would have stopped the game directly.
Soon, the second quarter started.
The Lakers' lineup has been slightly adjusted. Mike D'Antoni replaced some of the main substitute players, but still did not replace core players such as Kobe Bryant.
The Sharks also made temporary changes, replacing two main lineup substitutes with a mix of main players to continue to maintain stability in the lineup.
call out.
The game begins.
As soon as the game started, the Sharks gave the ball to Levi.
Li Wei played more than 4 minutes in the first quarter, shooting a three-pointer and a fast break layup. After performing well, he was replaced again by head coach Li Guohai.
After the ball passed half-court, Li Wei stood at the top of the arc and dribbled to organize the offense. The person who came up to defend him was Lakers substitute Steve Blake.
The two met each other, and Li Wei relied on his teammates to avoid the defense. He did not hesitate and entered the basket.
It happened that the Lakers player under the basket was blocked. Before the opponent could pounce, Li Wei raised the basketball and threw it out.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Li Wei's goal won a round of applause from the audience.
The Sharks finally tied with the Lakers again.
After scoring, Li Wei also looked proud. Before running to the half court and returning to defense, he turned around and showed off his power to the Lakers bench.
Especially towards Zhao Feiyang, he actually made a throat-cutting gesture in front of everyone.
Such a provocative scene was also recorded by live cameras.
The fans exclaimed.
"Why can't Zhao Feiyang come?"
"This is a provocation, can this kid still hold back?"
"F*ck! Just because of Li Wei's actions, I want to fuck him as a fan! It is said that Zhao Feiyang's departure from the team has a lot to do with Li Wei's exclusion. If this kid is so arrogant, I want to fuck him even more..."
The fans were talking a lot, and Zhao Feiyang in the team bench couldn't sit still!
He stood up and walked to head coach Mike D'Antoni again, "Coach, I want to play! No matter how long you let me play, I want to join the fight right now!"
This time, team coach Mike D'Antoni still ignored Zhao Feiyang. He completely ignored Zhao Feiyang's words and only waved to another newcomer on the bench.
"Ryan!"
"Warm up and get ready to play."
Newcomer Ryan Kelly heard the head coach say this and quickly got up and started moving.
Zhao Feiyang understood now.
Ryan Kelly is a serious second-round pick of the team. Compared to himself, an older rookie who was signed halfway, in the eyes of coach Mike D'Antoni, he is obviously more valuable to develop.
He had let this guy start at the beginning of the game, and now he continues to let him train. Even if Ryan Kelly's performance is average, the head coach has given him enough trust.
On the other hand, I look like my stepmother.
"Hey, old man with white beard, are you deaf?"
"Why the hell did you sign me if you didn't want me to play?"
Zhao Feiyang's temper also got worse.
Seeing that Mike D'Antoni was not giving him face, he immediately shouted at him.
His attitude really surprised Mike D'Antoni and also stunned other Lakers players.
Not many people in the team dare to talk to the German coach like this!
Even Kobe Bryant would never shout "Old man with white beard" in front of his face.
"enough."
Coach Mike D'Antoni was scared. He shouted at Zhao Feiyang and called him to his side, "I know you want to play! I will give you time."
"I promise I'll give you time soon!"
"But now...sit on the bench and don't talk, do you understand?"
Zhao Feiyang curled his lips with some dissatisfaction.
"Tell me earlier!"
"Who told you to ignore me?"
Zhao Feiyang sat back on the bench.
Li Wei was still provoking from time to time on the court. Zhao Feiyang was not as restless as before, but he still couldn't help but want to go on the court and do something big.
call out.
Halftime comes.
Players from both sides enter the locker room.
The break ends quickly.
When the second half came, Zhao Feiyang followed his teammates into the infield. As soon as he came out of the tunnel, the fans on both sides continued to boo him.
"Zhao Feiyang, you are so inferior!"
"Is it easy to be a water fountain manager?"
"If you are not allowed to play in such a game, what will happen even if you sign with the Lakers?"
The fans' words fell into Zhao Feiyang's ears, and he, who was depressed at this time, could only pretend that he couldn't hear them. Seeing that the third quarter was about to start, Zhao Feiyang planned to go up and bother coach Mike D'Antoni. Unexpectedly, the other side waved at him as soon as he walked over.
"Zhao, get ready."
"Go to position two!"
Zhao Feiyang was pleasantly surprised.
He quickly took off his jacket to warm up, and other teammates were also a little surprised by the head coach's arrangement. The lineup in this quarter is slightly different from the previous one. The one who comes up at the first position is no longer a substitute, but Steve Nash.
At this time, Steve Nash has reached the end of his career, but it cannot be denied that Steve Nash's ability to organize offense is still top-notch in the league.
"Steve, my name is Zhao. It's a pleasure to play with you."
Zhao Feiyang introduced himself excitedly. Steve Nash was stunned for a moment and nodded in response.
At this time, Steve Nash obviously had no idea how much energy the seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him would burst out next.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the players from both sides took the stage.
Li Wei from the Sharks team was still in the queue. Before officially serving, he walked up to Zhao Feiyang and deliberately provoked him.
"It's not easy! I played two quarters before I saw you play!"
"Although the Sharks can't compare to the Lakers, I am the master here. You may seem great when you join the Lakers, but you are just a grandson..."
Regarding Li Wei's cynicism, Zhao Feiyang just sneered and didn't pay attention at all.
call out.
The game officially begins.
Lakers serve.
Steve Nash held the ball through half the court. Zhao Feiyang reacted very positively and started running wildly as soon as he passed the half court. Li Wei is also very active. He has been clinging to Zhao Feiyang, following him and constantly disturbing him.
"System! Activate the experience card!"
"Ding! Got it! The Ray Allen experience card is officially opened!"
The ball passed halftime, and Steve Nash also began to organize the offense.
Seeing Zhao Feiyang running very hard and finding space to catch the ball, Steve Nash immediately passed the ball to him.
Snapped.
Zhao Feiyang, who got the ball, did not hesitate. He stepped on the three-point line on the left side, first feinted to interfere with Li Wei's judgment, and then suddenly stepped back and raised the basketball to shoot.
Li Wei defended very hard and rushed towards Zhao Feiyang with almost all his strength. However, his defense still failed to stop Zhao Feiyang's three-point shot.
Uh-huh.
With the help of Ray Allen's quick release, Zhao Feiyang's three-point ball perfectly avoided Li Wei's defense and accurately landed in the Sharks' basket.
