The first half of the game ended quickly.
With Zhao Feiyang's stable performance, the Lakers took the lead at halftime.
However, the team is still in chaos. After the players entered the locker room, no one discussed tactics and no one paid attention to the game. Everyone focused on the latest transaction news.
Assistant coach Cody Adams was only temporarily assigned. He did not have such great authority and could not make all the players listen to him, so he simply acquiesced in the players' actions.
Zhao Feiyang was not idle either. Taking advantage of his break, he turned on his cell phone to contact Steve Nash.
What he didn't expect was that just as he was about to send a message, a farewell text message was sent to his mobile phone. The person who sent the text message was none other than Steve Nash.
Not only Zhao Feiyang, but others also received it. It seems that Steve Nash sent it in bulk.
"Guys, I am very happy to have fought side by side with you, but I think I have reached the age of leaving the field...So, starting from today, I officially announce my retirement. I am sorry that I can no longer fight side by side with you. ......."
Steve Nash's text message undoubtedly caused an uproar in the locker room.
Regardless of whether his status with the Lakers is high or not, he is still one of the league's veteran stars, and he also won the regular season MVP.
With such a senior suddenly retiring, coupled with the departure of Pau Gasol and Jordan Farmar, it is difficult for players not to associate these two things together.
Zhao Feiyang also fell into deep thought.
Two veteran players were traded away within one day, and one veteran chose to retire and leave the team. This is really a big personnel change for a team.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who were already in a confused stage, now seem to be even more confused because of such things.
The second half came quickly.
After the players entered the stadium, the morale of the team was very low. Even players like Nick Young, who had never worried about being traded, seemed worried this time, and the smile on his face completely disappeared.
The game begins again.
Zhao Feiyang sat on the team bench to rest.
He only played 8 minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter before being replaced, so he still has 3 minutes and 10 seconds of experience card time to use.
After the game officially started, the Golden State Warriors once again replaced their core lineup.
On the other hand, for the Lakers, assistant coach Cody Adams is not good at tactics. He is only responsible for physical training among the assistant coaching team. Therefore, assistant coach Cody Adams does not have many requirements for the tactical arrangements on the court.
As a result, the Lakers continued to fight on their own. Nick Young, who appeared again, didn't care so much. After getting the ball, he kept attacking the Warriors' basket and tried various scoring methods. In short, he just didn't pass the ball. go out.
When the others saw Nick Young fighting like this, they simply chose to take action themselves.
So throughout the third quarter, the Golden State Warriors continued to rely on coordination and star singles to score points, while the Lakers were in chaos. Not only did they have no tactics on the offensive end, they were also full of loopholes on the defensive end.
Towards the end of the third quarter, the Lakers, who had been leading, fell behind again, and the score was directly stretched to 16 points.
This also makes the last quarter almost a waste time.
In the fourth quarter, assistant coach Cody Adams replaced Zhao Feiyang again.
Perhaps because they couldn't stand the team playing like this, many Lakers fans on the sidelines were extremely disappointed.
Some people chose to leave the arena before the game was over, but the remaining people also gave warm applause after seeing Zhao Feiyang play, hoping that he could reverse the situation.
The Lakers attack again.
This time the person holding the ball is Jordy Meeks. Compared with substitute defender Xavier Henry, Jordy Meeks's style of play is more selfless.
After halftime, he gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang who ran out of space.
As soon as Zhao Feiyang got the ball, Klay Thompson immediately got in front of him. This time it was different from before. Not only did Klay Thompson get in front of him, Stephen Curry also suddenly pounced on him.
The double-teaming between the two caught people off guard. The basketball in Zhao Feiyang's hand was almost snatched away. At the critical moment, he only escaped by giving it to Chris Kaman.
From this moment on, Zhao Feiyang was trapped in a double-team.
As long as he receives a pass from his teammate, Klay Thompson will rush up to steal it immediately, and Stephen Curry will also sneak attack from behind him, or attack from the flank when he is not paying attention. Such interference greatly affects Zhao Feiyang. status.
Seeing that there was not much time left to use the experience card, Zhao Feiyang became anxious. At this time, he only got 21 points, 9 points left from the 30 points he had bet on.
It is already impossible to win the game. Not to mention the chaos of the team's lineup, the tactics on the court and the feel of the teammates, it is simply impossible to defeat opponents like the Warriors.
With 51 seconds left in the experience card, the Lakers attacked again. Jody Meeks went into the basket with the ball in singles, but missed the layup.
The rebound fell out during the scramble, and coincidentally, it fell right next to Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang didn't dare to hesitate. He didn't even hold the ball firmly before he jumped up and shot in mid-air.
Sure enough, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry pounced at the same time, but unfortunately they were both a step too late. The basketball thrown by Zhao Feiyang went into the basket smoothly.
"There are still 6 points left!"
"There are 31 seconds left."
The Warriors serve.
This time, Stephen Curry held the ball past half-court. When he was being guarded by Jodi Meeks, Zhao Feiyang also used the same method to pounce on him and suddenly came out from Stephen Curry's flank. Sure enough, The basketball was slapped away by him.
After the ball rolled out, before Zhao Feiyang could pounce on it, his teammate Jordy Meeks had already pounced out to hold the ball.
"Fast attack."
Jody Meeks shouted at Zhao Feiyang and threw the ball in front of him. Zhao Feiyang understood what he meant and accelerated and took the ball towards the half court.
He was very fast and reached the three-point line in the blink of an eye. Just like before, Zhao Feiyang quickly jumped up and shot without hesitation.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell firmly into the basket again.
The fans on the sidelines also cheered because of his continuous hits. At this moment, Zhao Feiyang became the only bright spot for the Lakers.
"Ding!"
"The system reminds that the experience card will end in 8 seconds. Please pay attention to the host!"
When the Lakers returned to defense, the system prompts appeared in Zhao Feiyang's ears at the wrong time. This time he was really panicked.
Seeing that the Warriors failed to counterattack, Chris Kaman picked off the rebound and threw the ball into Zhao Feiyang's hands with a long pass.
Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball across the half court like a desperate man, and as soon as he reached the three-point line, he jumped high with a very familiar shooting posture, preparing to throw the basketball.
But the moment he jumped up, he suddenly felt that the power in his body was suddenly taken away, and his hands couldn't stop trembling.
"Ding! The experience time is over!"
The next second, the three-point ball thrown by Zhao Feiyang flew out in the eyes of all the fans. After drawing a high arc, the basketball did not fall into the basket smoothly, but fell one step ahead.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Zhao Feiyang threw a three-bounce shot.
The whole place was in an uproar.
