Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 126 Tiredness of back-to-back away games
An hour later, the bus stopped slowly, and Jiang Dashan got out of the bus, following behind a group of players, wiping his sleepy eyes.

The first thing after getting off the car is to put things in the locker room.Then come out and follow the big team to eat.

Jiang Dashan was at the back of the team. At this time, Lopez also slowly came to the back of the team from the front, and stood in a row with Jiang Dashan, "Hey, J, your three-pointer yesterday was great."

"Thank you." Jiang Dashan smiled friendly.

"But you are just a substitute." Lopez whispered to Jiang Dashan, "If you are the starter, it doesn't matter."

"I know." Jiang Dashan smiled wryly, he knew what Lopez meant, "Thank you, I will pay attention!"

"Good luck! It's a pleasure to play with you." Lopez patted Jiang Dashan on the shoulder, and then walked forward quickly.Jiang Dashan returned to a state of being alone.

Yes, he is a Chinese, aged 28, 1 meter 78.Almost old age.This will make the team that signed him think carefully about his next contract.Just like Thomas Jr., he went to the Cavaliers. In the coming year, the Cavaliers will give him a maximum salary?It is estimated that 2000 million is almost the same.In addition, although the current Lakers say that the starting lineup is set, in fact, it is only temporary.Moreover, in the 15-man roster, there are a total of 6 defenders competing for a maximum of 96 minutes of playing time.Among them, Lonzo and Pope occupied almost 60 minutes.His performance will make the players who can't play jealous; it will also make the main players fear.After all, he is just an older player who seems to have reached the upper limit.No team will be willing to give up a young tall man who is good in every way for him.Like Josh Hart; or Fanny Blue, or whoever.

"We need an opportunity! It won't work if we go on like this." Jiang Dashan sighed, and followed the large army again.

The Suns are not considered a strong opponent.Their strength is several grades worse than the Lakers on paper.The Suns have accumulated a group of young people in the past few seasons, and they have maintained the status quo for most of the time.Compared with trading and signing, the Suns seem to pay more attention to the cultivation of young players.But aside from Devin Booker (one of the most talented players in the world under the age of 21), the Suns didn't identify any players as the core of their potential.

In this year's draft, they used the 4th pick in the first round to win the athletic small forward Josh Jackson. From the paper lineup, this operation is meeting the team's lineup needs.Compared with players of the same age, Jackson's performance on the court is more mature. He knows how to play better and how to help the team win.Moreover, his enthusiasm and flexibility on the defensive end are deeply appreciated by the team.

In the Las Vegas Summer League, Jackson's potential and awareness of the block was quite high.In addition, he has done a good job of running and hitting the basket with and without the ball.However, his shooting ability still needs to be further improved, otherwise when he faces NBA-level perimeter defense, his shooting performance will become very difficult.Jackson's quirky jumper will give experienced defenders a chance.I don't know if Jackson will be forced to adjust his shooting posture in the new season or focus his scoring methods on switching offenses and hitting the basket.

In a nutshell, the Suns, on paper, are no match for the Lakers.

The game started soon, and the Suns started with Bledsoe, Booker, Jackson, Chris, and Ryan; the Lakers started unchanged, with Lopez, Ingram, Luol Deng, Lonzo, and Pope.

Due to the long journey and back-to-back, the Lakers players showed a tired side on the court.

Continuously throw short balls, and even throw three non-stick shots.The funny scene made Walton, the head coach on the sidelines, hide his face from watching.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers tied with the Suns 8-18.Wharton called a timeout, and then walked to Jiang Dashan's side. Jiang Dashan was very happy, and immediately stood up, ready to warm up.No, Walton just stood beside him for a second, then turned to look at Clarkson, "You substitute for Pope!" Then he walked up to Josh Hart, "You substitute for Lonzo."

Jiang Dashan sat down again, still watching the game with a smile, but felt uneasy again, "Isn't it just a shot at the buzzer, as for it."

The Suns also brought in Knight and TJ Warren.

The timeout ends and the game continues.Jiang Dashan held the towel in his hand and kept rubbing it.Wharton and assistant coach Xiao took the lead, and then Wharton continued to direct from the sidelines, but Xiao came to sit next to Jiang Dashan.

"J, what are you thinking?" Xiao patted Jiang Dashan on the back friendly.

"Nothing." Jiang Dashan smiled.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about anything." Xiao looked at the game, "The NBA is very inclusive. You can have as much stage as you have ability. Just like the current Lakers, if you are strong enough, you can also be the leader of this team. You perform well, and it is also an encouragement to other young people! Really, what you need now is just to continue your outstanding performance so that more people like you and become your fans! Can you play?" Xiao asked Jiang Dashan.

Jiang Dashan nodded.

"Okay, work hard!" After finishing speaking, Xiao got up and walked towards Wharton.

"Oh, it's the second quarter, and Jiang Dashan hasn't played yet!" Yang Yi complained in the studio.

"Well, maybe Walton thinks that the Lakers can easily defeat the Suns. After all, the current strength of the Suns is the last in the West." Su Qun explained.

"Maybe, but I still prefer to watch Jiang Dashan's games. I believe the fans and friends in front of the TV are the same."

At the end of the halftime, many Lakers players got the chance to play, but Jiang Dashan didn't play. The mood at this time was extremely depressed.

Back in the locker room, everyone was talking and laughing.Lang Zuo and Ingram also talked to Jiang Dashan, and Jiang Dashan realized that he really thought too much!Although Ingram and Lonzo are both young and vigorous, they are not as arrogant as Russell.They are more restrained and know how to measure.They prefer to compete on the field through hard work.

At the beginning of the second half, the weak Suns suddenly launched an offensive under the leadership of Booker.As soon as he played, Booker caught the ball and faced Lonzo, swayed away continuously, and then stepped back to score a three-pointer; then, the blood cloth forced Pope to make a mistake, and a fast break assisted Booker to score a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

At 3 minutes and 05 seconds of the third quarter, Ingram missed a mid-range jumper in an air cut. Chandler of the Suns got a rebound and made a straight pass to the frontcourt of the Suns. It was Booker again who caught the ball and dunked.At this time, the Suns led by 65 points 57 to 8!Walton called a timeout.

"J, can I trust you?" Wharton looked at Jiang Dashan and said.

Jiang Dashan smiled, then nodded, and it was Jiang Dashan's confident eyes that responded to Wharton.

"In the second half of the game, at 3 minutes and 15 seconds of the third quarter, Jiang Dashan from China finally made his debut!" Yang Yi felt as if he had been ashamed at this time, elated!

"At this time, the Lakers need someone to stand up and cheer for them. I think Jiang Dashan is the best candidate. He has a strong breakthrough ability and precise shooting from the outside. As long as he comes up and scores a goal, his skills will help the Lakers rebuild their confidence!" Su Qun believes that Wharton is sending Jiang Dashan now to raise a flag for the Lakers.

Jiang Dashan came on the field, and at this time he was partnered with Clarkson in the backcourt.The two high-five and go on stage.Clarkson is in position 1 and Jiang Dashan is in position 2.

Blood cloth, a young man with extremely strong defense, was once a player that James was optimistic about in the Irving trade, but the Suns were unwilling to hand over this year's No. 4 rookie-Jackson, which caused the deal to abort.

The blood-clothed man was tall and burly, with his arms open, Jiang Dashan felt that his sight was obstructed.

Clarkson tried to break through Booker, and Jiang Dashan also hurriedly moved.Blood Cloth's defense is in place, and it is difficult for Jiang Dashan to take advantage of the loopholes.

Clarkson missed a mid-range jumper!The ball hits the right edge of the rim and bounces toward the right corner.At this time, Jiang Dashan suddenly started, and leaned on Bledsoe with his left hand, trying to slow down his movement and increase his strength!

Jiang Dashan was the first to appear under the ball, jumped up, caught the ball, turned around in the air and shot!The ball drew a perfect arc in the air and hit the net!At this time a large two points!Jiang Dashan recovered two points for the Lakers!At this time, the Lakers were 59 points behind 65 to 6.
