Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 200 Lost
At the beginning of the second quarter, Walton replaced Lonzo, who was not feeling well, and let Jiang Dashan play point guard, while Clarkson went up to play shooting guard.

At the beginning of the game, Jiang Dashan dribbled the ball directly, and facing Harris, he scored a super long three-pointer into the frame. With Nelson barely responding on the spot, Jiang Dashan had already scored 3 points, helping the Lakers overtake.

"Big guy, the most important thing is to focus on the game! Never underestimate players who are shorter than you!" Jiang Dashan yelled at Nelson as he stuck to Nelson almost jokingly.

Nelson didn't have much reaction, he just replied, "I see, thank you."

Jiang Dashan was a little depressed when he heard Nelson's response, what the hell did you underestimate me in the beginning?

The Nuggets attacked, and Nelson also followed Jiang Dashan's example. About 1 meter before the top of the arc, he chased and shot a super long three-pointer.But Jiang Dashan's reaction and bounce are comparable to yours, Nelson?
Jiang Dashan jumped up and directly blocked the shot, covering his head and face.

"Hoho! Nelson, you really don't consider 1 meters tall!" Yang Yi almost gloated.

The ball was hit to the frontcourt of the Lakers, Ingram and Clarkson picked up the ball from both sides, and Millsap and Harris were also there. After the 4 people scrambled, the referee blew Ingram and Millsap for the ball.

The ball was touched by Millsap and returned to Nelson. It was still the Nuggets' ball!

Malone was anxious and angry. If he could, he would definitely come up and kick Nelson's ass, pointing at his nose and yelling, "You are sick!"

At this moment, Ma Long could only shout at Nelson, "Hold on, don't worry." While feeling sad in his heart, "If I can buy J, I'll still want you prodigals!"

After Nelson was blocked, he also calmed down.After all, it was the first match against Jiang Dashan. Although Jiang Dashan scored 82 points, just like everyone wants to beat Kobe, Nelson hopes to beat Jiang Dashan.However, after Jiang Dashan made a shot and a block, Nelson also understood the gap between the two, honestly, how to play, how to play.

Jokic was called out for a pick-and-roll.

Nelson used Jokic's pick-and-roll to break through from the left, took two steps, and just threw Jokic's to his right back. He was proud and was about to hit the basket. With a bang, he hit a mountain and the referee whistled!Nelson was bounced back, looking straight at him, no one!Look at the ground, I'll go, Jiang Dashan!Such a small lump!Nelson almost cried.Jiang Dashan looks like a rascal sitting on the ground!The referee blew his own offensive foul!When did you go there?My chest still hurts!Are you pretending on the ground?

Seeing Nelson's distressed appearance on the field, Ma Long's love for Jiang Dashan became even deeper.

Ingram and Clarkson came over to pull up Jiang Dashan, and then Kuzma served from the bottom line.

The first hand was given to Lopez, and the second hand was handed over to Jiang Dashan.

Nelson suffered enough, and became more serious than serious.

Jiang Dashan came to the top of the arc with the ball, commanded his teammates to run without the ball, and then faced Nelson himself, crossed continuously, then accelerated, stopped suddenly, and then changed direction drastically.Nelson was desperate when his ankle slipped and his body lost its center of gravity!
A purple-gold lightning flashed past Nelson, and it was Jiang Dashan.Jiang Dashan passed Nelson and went directly to the basket.

Chandler and Jokic came over at the same time and jumped to block the shot.But Jiang Dashan passed the ball from the ground to Lopez who was running under the basket, and the latter dunked successfully.The score came to 31 to 28, and the Lakers led by 3 points.

The second quarter continued, and the two teams came and went.Millsap and Jokic supported the Nuggets' inside line, but on the outside line, Nelson was eaten to death by Jiang Dashan.

At 7 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, Jiang Dashan crossed the sideline again, swayed to Nelson, and then took a three-pointer into the net.The score was rewritten to 45 to 38, and the score advantage was extended to 7 points.Jiang Dashan also scored the 20th point of the field.

Malone called a timeout, and then replaced the substitute; Wharton also replaced the main force at the same time to rest.

"Ma Long is very smart, this is forcing Wharton to come on the bench." Yang Yi praised Ma Long's behavior.

"Who says no? If Walton continues to injure the main force, the point difference may still be maintained, but once the Nuggets rest well, they will be able to chase points when the Lakers' main force rests." Su Qun nodded.

The Lakers' bench has now become Lonzo, Brewer, Nance Jr., Randall and Bogut.Defensively, but offensively weak.However, the Nuggets' bench has almost no defense, and the offense is acceptable.The substitutes of the two teams can be regarded as playing back and forth.

At halftime, the Lakers maintained their lead, ending the first half 53-45.

Back in the locker room, Walton gave the players a brief performance analysis as usual, finding out the strengths and weaknesses of each player and asking them to improve them.

After the break, the players returned to the sidelines, waiting for the coach's arrangement.

At the beginning of the second half, Walton continued to send Lonzo as the point guard, and Jiang Dashan returned to the shooting guard.

Still the Lakers have the first ball, Lonzo attacks with the ball, breaks through the middle to score the ball, Ingram makes an emergency stop and misses a jumper, Kuzma gets the rebound, gives it to Jiang Dashan, runs out of space, and misses a three-pointer from the right corner!
Millsap took the rebound and threw it into Nelson's hands. Nelson led the Nuggets to a fast break.Jokic, Millsap, and Chandler all rushed up like three tanks.Ingram, who looked skinny and thin, was the most uncomfortable. Nelson also just gave the ball to Millsap. Millsap squeezed Ingram and scored a layup, narrowing the point difference for the Nuggets.

Wharton commanded the audience from the sidelines, telling the players to stabilize the rhythm while telling them to return to defense quickly!
Lonzo began to control the tempo, slowed down, and other players became more focused. At the same time, Lonzo also handed over Jiang Dashan as the first choice. Because Ingram's shooting percentage was less than 20%, Lonzo gave up his good buddies.

Jiang Dashan made two consecutive three-pointers to help the Lakers stabilize the situation, and then stole Harris and made a layup.The score came to 61 to 51, with the Lakers leading by 8 points.

In the 6th minute of the third quarter, Wharton replaced Jiang Dashan.Because of back-to-back games, Jim Buss and Johnson put pressure on Wharton, requiring Jiang Dashan to play every game, so Wharton hopes that Jiang Dashan will maintain a good state, and in this game, Jiang Dashan has scored 28 points, surpassing his average of 26.1 points per game, which is considered to have completed the task.As for winning or losing the game, leave it to the children.

After three quarters, the Lakers maintained their advantage 75 to 65.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the style of painting changed suddenly. At the beginning, Malone's substitute was barely strong, able to score and lose points, and the 10-point gap was maintained.

But at 3 and a half minutes, the Nuggets started the game, and Millsap and Jokic led the Nuggets to counterattack.

First, Millsap made consecutive breakthrough layups, causing kills. Lopez had to leave the field for 5 fouls, and Bogut came up, making it difficult for the Lakers to open up space inside!Ingram and Lonzo's breakthrough is difficult to use, and the two feel cold, and they can only rely on Kuzma and Clarkson to score!
Then Jokic's mid-range shooting suddenly added a scope and hit 5 shots in a row!On the Lakers side, they made 5 of 0 shots, and the score was directly overtaken!
此时第四节还剩2分10秒，比分来到88比86，掘金队反超2分。

Seeing this scene, Jiang Dashan stood up and walked towards Wharton, but Xiao came over and called Jiang Dashan back, "We have made any preparations, you just need to rest well. We need another point! Except you. Otherwise, we can only pray that next summer, we can get another superstar!"

Jiang Dashan returned to his seat helplessly. Indeed, the current state of the Lakers is like the 2000ers in 76, with Iverson single-core!And now the single core is him.Both Ingram and Lonzo averaged more than 10 points per game, but their shots combined exceeded 20 times.That is, 20 shots and only 20 points!low efficiency.However, due to his tactical tendency, Lopez reduced his shots to about 8 times per game, scoring 14.3 points and reaching the standard, while Kuzma took 8.4 shots and averaged 12.3 points per game.

Walton wants to work out the best tactical options and the best starting lineup in the limited regular season.

"The game is over. Jiang Dashan didn't play again after the third quarter. The Lakers were overtaken by the Nuggets at the last moment. Unfortunately, they lost the game and suffered a two-game losing streak!" Yang Yi also felt a little regretful. "I don't know what Walton thinks. I would rather lose the game than send Dashan to the game."

"Maybe he has his own ideas! What I think is that the current lineup is definitely not the final starting lineup. Wharton should still be investigating!" Su Qun rounded up the situation.
