The Pelicans organized the offense, Rondo held the ball and observed the situation on the court. At this moment, Lonzo Ball ran over to defend.

The Pelicans' Holiday ran over to pick-and-roll immediately and covered Rondo's offense. Rondo accelerated and rushed over. After attracting a Lakers defensive player, he quickly passed the ball to Davis at the basket.

Rondo's pass from the ground was fast and accurate, and according to Davis's running position, as long as he could run under the rebound, the basketball would appear in his hands. Facing the empty basket, he could easily put the basketball in.

Host Johnson began to evaluate Rondo, "Rondo has excellent physical fitness, not only has a long wingspan, but also has a very large palm, and has a good sense of ball. He can easily perform fast attacks. Although his dunk shooting ability is not outstanding, his passing and rebounding ability is hard to match in the defender, and he often plays triple-double data.

Especially Rondo's pass is hard to defend, and he often uses fake passes to break through. His signature move is absolutely unique ingenuity."

"Do you know how many assists Rondo gave in the last game when the Pelicans beat the Nets?"

"15 times?" Barkley asked uncertainly.

Johnson shook his head.

"Is it 20 times?" Johnson continued to shake his head.

This time, Johnson no longer kept it a secret and said directly: "He sent 25 assists in one game. He helped the team defeat the Nets 128:113. This assist is the first player in the NBA to reach more than 20 times in the past three years. This guy is very not simple. He can do this in the assist field, which shows how awesome his passing ability is."

Just as Rondo passed to Davis, an arm suddenly appeared on the pass route, directly knocking out this wonderful pass, and the basketball flew into Lonzo Ball's hands.

It was Ye Zheng! He followed the opponent closely when Davis ran without the ball, and did not open too much distance. When the basketball was passed, he quickly stretched out his arm and changed the passing route of the ball.

Ye Zheng's observation ability is very sharp and his reaction is very fast. When he found that Davis was running without the ball, only the basketball in Rondo's hand might be passed to him on the entire basketball court, thus completing the layup, so Ye Zheng followed him after a brief thought.

After Ye Zheng steals, the Lakers immediately launch a fast attack.

At this time, Ye Zheng quickly ran to the front court. After Lonzo Ball took the ball and drove it for a while, he saw that Ye Zheng had run a long distance without any hesitation. He passed the ball directly, threw it over, and sent it to Ye Zheng's hand.

Davis' defense speed is very fast, and he also quickly returns to the arc position of the three-point line to slow down Ye Zheng's attack.

But Ye Zheng had no effect at all. He accelerated the direction and broke through the opponent. At this time, there was an open space under the basket, and the rest of the Pelicans players did not have time to run over.

Ye Zheng accelerated to appear within the paint area and stepped in one step. Then he flew into the air. He dunked the basketball in.

This button immediately caused cheers from the audience? Thunderous applause? The atmosphere was very strong.

Ye Zheng turned around and looked at Davis and smiled slightly, making a gesture of cutting his throat, which was quite domineering.

Davis' eyebrows were all tangled together? He didn't look at Ye Zheng too much? Instead, he was ready to start fighting back.

The hit of this goal also made the difference between the two teams reach 12 points, and this quarter only gave the Pelicans a last chance to attack.

The Pelicans head coach hurriedly called a timeout and they reorganized the offense. The Lakers' explosive attack just now is still very exhausting.

Coach Walton handed over a towel and said, "You have a good rest. This is the first quarter? You must allocate your physical strength reasonably."

Ye Zheng nodded? Although his endurance is the top presence in the league, even so? The endurance of basketball players cannot continue to explode in four quarters.

James' endurance in the league is almost the strongest. In the game? His tactical positioning usually plays the whole game. But in the second half of the quarter, it is still very difficult for James' physical strength to keep up with the rhythm of the whole team.

Ye Zheng walked to the seat and wiped his sweat while saying, "The Pelicans' inside double tower combination? It's just that."

This sentence made the teammates around Ye Zheng smiled bitterly. They knew that the Pelicans' inside line was indeed nothing to Ye Zheng, but they were different to them. These players on the court never had the upper hand when the Pelicans' inside line faced head-on.

"Ye Zheng, are you deliberately ridiculing me?"

"The Pelicans' inside line is simply a wall of iron." Lonzo Ball said helplessly.

In the first quarter, Lonzo Ball took the ball twice and attacked the Pelicans' inside line. The first time Cousins ​​gave him a big block. Although he made a second shot, he made a three-no-touch shot. In the following time, he never made a rush to the opponent's inside line again.

The starters on the Lakers' court also empathized with Lonzo Ball's words.

These players have suffered more or less losses in the inside line, and they have a very intuitive understanding of the Pelicans' double towers.

In the Lakers, only Ye Zheng can hit their inside line, and they can shoot basketball at most from the outside.

In the next last round, all the Lakers were defensive players, and they wanted to defend this goal in the last round. The Pelicans were still the main lineup. Ye Zheng did not play, sat on the sidelines drinking a drink, and looked at the field comfortably. His sarcastic expression made Davis very uncomfortable, so Davis's thick eyebrows and hands were jumping up and down.

Lakers' Lonzo Ball played a huge role on the court and has been pressing against Rondo, who has been guarding the Pelicans, making it difficult for him to make effective passes in a short period of time.

The offensive time was consumed every minute. At this time, Rondo broke through with the ball, and Lonzo Ball was closely guarding. Suddenly, Rondo passed the ball behind the back, and the basketball seemed to have eyes, passing it to Davis, who was standing outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Davis had no defense, so he jumped and shot the ball steadily into the basket.

"Three points!"

Rondo's pass this time made Ye Zheng's eyes lit up. He did not expect the opponent to make such a wonderful assist.

"Coach, what is Rondo's origin?" Ye Zheng asked in confusion.

Head coach Walton thought for a moment and then remembered Rondo's information. After all, as the head coach, it is impossible for him to know the information of the other party's starting player in the game.

"Rondo was born in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. He is a professional basketball player in the United States and plays as a point guard. He participated in the NBA draft in 2006 and was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 21st pick. He was then traded to the Boston Celtics and officially became the 15th captain of the Celtics in 2014. He joined the Dallas Mavericks on December 19, 2014. He joined the Sacramento Kings on July 4, 2015."

Ye Zheng admired Rondo's style of play very much, and he continued to ask: "How many years have he signed with the Pelicans contract?"

“A one-year contract.”

"Oh! This guy can get the Lakers if possible next season. His assist ability is very suitable for the Lakers. At present, it seems that he is not inferior to me at all." Ye Zheng said.

When coach Walton heard this, his expression on his face was a little confused.

This is the first time Ye Zheng expressed optimism about other players. In fact, Ye Zheng has always given Walton a proud and arrogant feeling.

After all, in the NBA league, all talented players are more proud. Walton has never heard of any player Ye Zheng admires.

So, when he heard Ye Zheng's statement, Walton attached great importance to it. In his mind, he had already remembered this person firmly, and even considered that he must check the player's game video after going back.

In fact, the Lakers' rotation lineup has always been a bit weak. Except for the main starting players who can perform at a lower level under the leadership of Ye Zheng, the rest of the players are almost all professional points, or they are very weak in defense and offense.

So, head coach Walton still attaches great importance to the first player Ye Zheng recommended. He turned to the assistant coach beside him and said, "After the game is over, please contact Rondo's agent. Inquire about Rondo's ideas for the next season, what teams he wants to go to, or the psychological price of the contract, and whether the Pelicans plan to continue to renew his contract with him?"

"Head coach, these are all matters of the Lakers' signing department. Are we doing this? "The assistant coach said in confusion.

"It's just to ask you for some inquiries, not to discuss signing. At that time, give this information to the Lakers' signing department and let them consider it for themselves. Of course, you should not forget to mention that this is Ye Zheng's opinion." Hearing this, the assistant coach was stunned, and he realized that Rondo was a player that Ye Zheng valued.

It seems that Ye Zheng is going to do a big game. After all, the Lakers' overall lineup is very weak, whether it is the inside or the rotation lineup.

If a suitable player can join the Lakers, it will also improve the strength of the Lakers' rotation lineup.

After all, basketball games are not just one person's game, but a team and a whole. The strength of the rotation lineup can ensure that the main starting players will not be defeated after they leave the field.

At this time, the Lakers' rotation lineup was difficult to resist when the Pelicans had to attack, while the Pelicans had only Cousins, the main lineup.

In just two minutes, the Pelicans' rotation lineup made a 5:0 climax.

Even the Pelicans narrowed the score difference to 4 points at once. Although Lonzo Ball and Roll Deng also responded to the two mid-range shots, the opponent was still at an absolute advantage.

Seeing this situation, head coach Walton replaced Ye Zheng with helpless look on the court. After all, the Lakers are still facing a situation where no one is available, especially after Ye Zheng is out of the field. Not to mention whether the rotation lineup can stand on its own, it should at least play some role.
Chapter completed!
