Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 182 Winning the Nuggets and Winning 12 Straight
At halftime, everyone came to the locker room.

Wharton first made a small speech, "Everyone performed very well today! Our state and rhythm are not bad."

The teenagers had smiles on their faces.

"Well, actually, this is also a difficult decision. I decided..." Wharton deliberately dragged on for a long time.

The Lakers players are all looking forward to it, waiting for Walton's decision.

"My decision is, in the future, our J will be a fake starter! Once we encounter the current situation where the lead is relatively large." Wharton explained.

"What is a fake starter?" Jiang Dashan was puzzled.

"It's just that you are still the starter. However, you play for 6 minutes in the first quarter and then rest. In the third or fourth quarter of the second half, if the situation is not right, you come out to play for a few minutes. If the situation is normal, you will rest." Wharton explained.

A group of Lakers guards all looked happy, which means that they will have more opportunities to play.

"Then how to define this concept?" Jiang Dashan smiled wryly.

"When you meet a weak team, it's OK to lead by more than 10 points, and the substitute can maintain the lead. When you meet a strong team, it's okay to be behind by more than 10 points." Walton actually has his own plan. Pez, you too. Lonzo, you need to work harder! Study more! After all, you are still a first-year student, and I hope you will be able to do so next year! Listen to everything else, we are in a very good situation at the moment, everyone keep it! This is the first point. The second point is not to be pressured. Even if we lose, it doesn’t matter, as long as we can guarantee a good place in the playoffs.”

"I say this because I hope you don't feel pressured. I keep thinking that I must maintain a winning streak. Although the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers in the Finals last season was generally due to injuries and suspensions. However, this is related to their winning streak and 73 victories. Firstly, they are under too much pressure. Secondly, they are too tired. In short, I just want everyone to relax a little bit, referring to mentality! The game, you just need to stay focused!"

. . . . . .

A few minutes later, the second half began.Sure enough, Wharton did what he said, and Jiang Dashan appeared on the bench.

Wharton actually has his own selfish intentions in doing this. One is to protect Jiang Dashan. He knows that Jiang Dashan, who is 1 meters tall, needs more physical strength than the big men on the court and is more likely to be injured.So what if the Lakers can't recruit superstars?Ingram, Lonzo and others will always grow, and they have already shown the potential of superstars.Furthermore, once James and another superstar come to form a group, how will the starting lineup be made?How is the ball distributed?There are too many overlapping positions, it is difficult to choose!Wharton is actually opposed to recruitment, and he hopes that he can train the current young team.Even if you can only make the playoffs in 78 years, what about waiting until James' dominance is gone or the Warriors disintegrate?
What Wharton thinks, Jiang Dashan doesn't care at all, he is playing with his mobile phone in his seat now.Yes, play on your phone!It’s not enough to suffer a loss last time, let’s continue now!But Jiang Dashan paid attention this time, he just paid attention to the recent big news.I don’t know if I don’t read it, I was shocked when I saw it, the news of the Clippers came.Griffin of the Clippers had a midnight tryst with Kardashian's sister. After coming out of the nightclub, he fell drunk and fell, and the old injury recurred!
At this moment, Jiang Dashan has ten thousand cao ni horses running past in his heart. It's okay, why are you messing with Kardashian?Isn't Harden and Thompson a good example!It's not bad, at least it's not broken on the bed!Jiang Dashan hecked twice, seeing a reporter pointing a camera at him, he quickly put it in his bag, and then watched the game seriously.But in his heart, he was secretly proud that the Clippers were finished. Without Griffin, the playoffs would basically be impossible, because maybe Gallinari accidentally sprained his ankle one day, and his body is made of porcelain.The West is considered to be missing a strong competitor, because the Lakers can enter the playoffs at most 678, and the Clippers also cannot enter the top 4.

The game continued, without Jiang Dashan on the court, Lonzo returned to his familiar point guard position, Clarkson scored, and the Lakers returned to their original rhythm.However, due to Pope's injury, Clarkson's ability is still not as good as Pope, so in terms of offense, the Lakers rely more on Ingram's support, as well as Lopez's high-post shots after coming out of the pick-and-roll.

Randall is also on the court at this time, but what he does is more of a pick-and-roll without asking, and it is an empty cut.After all, he doesn't shoot very well.

For the Nuggets, since the average height of the Lakers on the field is over 2 meters, the shortest is Clarkson at 1 meters.The point difference has remained above 96 points.

After three quarters, Jiang Dashan almost felt bored. After all, he couldn't play now, so he could only watch, which was boring.

The fourth quarter finally came after all the waiting. The Lakers have replaced all the main players and replaced them with substitutes.

"Oh, now that the three quarters are over, the Lakers have a complete lead, 90 to 78 by 12 points. Walton chose to use the substitute lineup directly at this time. Coach Malone also replaced the substitute." A familiar voice sounded in the studio.

"That's right, let's just do it like this in the future. When Jiang Dashan comes out, you start talking; when Jiang Dashan leaves, you also go to the side to rest!" Su Qun 'raged' at Yang Yi.

Netizens expressed their joy! "This wave of operations, 666!" "Teacher Yang Yi said, I'm so embarrassed!" "By the way, can you come in after going out?". . .

Back in the game, Nance Jr. hit the Nuggets' inside line with consecutive air cuts. Faried and Plumlee had little ability to stop them. In addition, Kuzma's tall outside shot kept shooting three-pointers.

At 3 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter, Faried scored two points with a back hook, and the score came to 98-84. Malone took the lead in calling a timeout and preparing for a substitution.

Wharton thought that Malone would replace the main players immediately, but he didn't expect that Malone would just replace the two draft players, give up the game and start training new players.This relieved Wharton, who had been facing a formidable enemy, and replaced him with Josh Hart, letting him exercise as well.

In fact, Ma Long has difficulties. He has been chasing points, but the feeling of not being able to catch up is too depressing. Why don't you just give up.Thinking of switching to the starting lineup, the Lakers will also start the lineup, and the score has been maintained!Even if he couldn't hold on anymore, Jiang Dashan was sitting on the opposite bench watching the game. When he saw Jiang Dashan's depressed face, Ma Long immediately lost the will to resist.Maybe he wants to fight hard when he meets the Warriors, but when he meets the Lakers who have undergone such a big change just because of Jiang Dashan, Malone can't give up fighting!There is no way, winning is what it should be, losing is too embarrassing, especially when all the main players lose!Let it go, it's just the preseason anyway.

At the end of the game, the two teams shook hands.Malone ignored Wharton's friendly right hand and walked directly to Jiang Dashan in full view. The reporters felt that something was going to happen and surrounded the two of them, only to hear Malone excited at Jiang Dashan, "J, can I call you that? You are great! I hope to have the opportunity to partner with you! If the Nuggets have such an excellent guard like you, we can go as far as possible!"Malone clearly expressed his thoughts, what the hell is missing a strong player like you!
Yang Yi is stupid, Su Qun is stupid, countless Chinese fans are stupid!Ma Long, you are a coach after all, don't be ashamed!

And all kinds of coaches in other states are also stupid!

Popovich was expressionless at this time, sitting across from him was Parker who was limping, and Ginobili with plaster on his buttocks! "The Lakers have money to spend all kinds of things, but the Spurs have no money to save money! One save saves a SUPER J!"

James was also chatting with Tyronn Lue at this time, and Wade was sitting beside him, "Do you regret that you didn't put pressure on him and signed him?" Wade asked, "I am willing to serve him as a substitute!"

"There are also Rose and Thomas Jr.! Now, I want to play with peace of mind!" James replied.

"Go to the Lakers next year?" Wade joked.

"You are here, why should I go! I am 33 years old! I hope to retire here! And win more championships!" James looked at the sky outside the window, "If possible, next year, poach him!"
