As soon as Wang Fei walked back to the sidelines, he was pulled by the excited Frank Vogel.

"Wang! You were like an emperor just now. You are omnipotent and you are invincible. When I saw you perform like this, I really wanted to worship you! I love you so much! I believe you can definitely be as good as many celebrities in the Lakers. You will help this team with countless glorious history become great again!" Vogel said endlessly to Wang Fei.

Yes!

Vogel was very excited.

Because, he realized something from Wang Fei's performance in the last few dozen seconds, that is: Wang Fei was probably trying to keep fighting for most of the first quarter! It was at the last moment that he accidentally showed his strength!

This means that even though the Clippers had a similar slight squad with the Lakers for a while, the pace and trend of the game were always firmly held by the Lakers!

And Wang Fei is obviously the one who controls the rhythm of the game!

Wang Fei was a little embarrassed by Vogel's praise.

He smiled and waved his hand and said, "Frank, no, no! I am not that great. I still have a big gap with those great existences in Lakers' history."

Vogel is also very stubborn: "Wang, don't be modest. There has never been a full guard like you in the history of the Lakers. God! Look at your data! Just one quarter of the game, you have scored 21 points, you steal 6 times, you gave 3 assists and got 4 rebounds. No one can do this to you! I mean, even Elvin Johnson is not as comprehensive as you! You have averaged 11.9 steals last season, which has made your single season steals reach more than 670! And Kobe Bryant, the first steal in the history of the Lakers, has only scored more than 1,900 steals in his entire career! Besides, your assists, your average assists have exceeded Elvin! As long as you can continue to play in the Lakers, I believe you will definitely be comparable to those great figures in the history of the Lakers!"

Obviously, Vogel was really excited.

He was willing to give praise to Wang Fei.

He even brought out all the Lakers celebrities.

There are many legendary players of the Lakers, and it is enough to make people shocked!

Chamberlain, Jabbar, Elkin Baylor, Gale Goodridge, Elvin Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, James Worthy, LOGO male Jerry West, Jamal Wilkins, Kobe Bryant...

All of these names have supported an era in the long river of NBA history, and their reputation is still talked about by fans all over the world.

Wang Fei smiled and said, "Thank you for your affirmation. I will try my best to pay tribute to those seniors and follow them."

Because Wang Fei killed himself at the end of the first quarter and was overturned by himself, the Clippers were very depressed.

Rivers's face was also very serious.

"Gentlemen, we are still too relaxed in defense against the king. I think we must correct our defensive tactics. My idea is that we have to use wheel battles to defend the king, to tightly entangle him and consume his physical fitness as much as possible. The reason why he was so crazy in the last part of the first quarter just now is that we were too indulging in him." Rivers said.

"Doug, I think the defensive pressure we put on the king is not small. He played loosely for most of the first quarter. Perhaps, he was just controlling the rhythm of the game." Kawaii looked up and said, but he immediately said: "But I think your wheel battle defense should be feasible!"

During the timeout between the first and second quarters, the Clippers have been carefully arranging their defensive strategies against Wang Fei.

However, what they didn't expect was that at the beginning of the second quarter, they found that Wang Fei did not play the game, but sat on the bench.

In the second quarter, the Lakers made a big defense against the lineup.

As soon as the game started, they sent out a substitute.

Not only Wang Fei, but LeBron and Rondo were also replaced. Because there was a relatively large lead in the first quarter, Vogel believed that he should give the substitutes some time, which was also to give the main lineup a rest as much as possible, and then switch to the second half of the second quarter for a while.

This ensures that the Lakers enter the half-time break with a greater advantage.

The Clippers are still played by all the main players.

This caught Rivers off guard.

The Lakers' substitute back line is led by Crusoe and Evry.

On the front line, Kuzma and Dudley led the way.

The center is Maike.

Generally speaking, in the middle of the game, all substitutes will not be sent out like this.

Unless the overall situation is decided, all substitutes will be sent to the bench, so that all the games will enter garbage time.

Vogel did this a bit abnormal. Of course, it was a bit risky.

And this also made Rivers feel that he was humiliated.

What does this mean?

All substitutes are here to play against my main players?

Isn't this taking me seriously at all?

Rivers was a little angry.

The Clippers players on the field also felt that they were insulted.

"Fake!"

Lu Wei swears.

"Blow them up! They must pay a little price for underestimating the enemy!" Paul George also murmured in a low voice.

But the Lakers' substitutes are also excited.

They know that such opportunities are rare.

The head coach sent them on the court like this to examine their performance.

In fact, players like Closso, Evry, Kuzma, and McGee are all very good and practical players. If used well, they can also play a big role.

In this substitute lineup, Kuzma has become the absolute core.

Kuzma averaged 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season, and his performance was quite good.

The second quarter starts.

The Clippers also wanted to take the lead, so they launched a powerful offensive, with Paul George hitting a three-pointer.

Then, turning around, they tried to defend against the Lakers' offense.

The Lakers' substitutes also withstood the pressure. After Cruso broke through, he passed the ball to Evry on the outside. Unfortunately, Evry missed a three-pointer.

The Clippers started a counterattack when they grabbed the rebound.

This time, Kawai used his personal ability to get rid of Kuzma's defense and hit a mid-range shot.

At the beginning, the Clippers played a 5:0 climax.

The score difference shrinks rapidly.

Vogel was a little uneasy.

He actually has high expectations for this substitute lineup!

However, the reality is cruel! The Lakers' substitute lineup can't withstand the Clippers' offense at all.

This means that he made a mistake in the arrangement of troops.

However, this is nothing, failure is success.

The most important point now is that these substitutes can make them less impatient and have to play offensive and defensive strength.

"Don't be anxious! Everyone should be patient, maybe we can do it!" Vogel shouted loudly.

The Lakers attacked again.

This time, Crusoe suppressed the attack speed, and he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Kuzma, who dribbled the ball to break through.

He was immediately prevented by Paul George.

Kuzma did not handle the ball hastily this time. He dribbled with Paul George patiently, then dribbled with a loophole and flew to the basket.

Paul followed closely, ready to put on a big hat at any time.

Kuzma arrived near the basket, and Zubac blocked him like a mountain.

Zubac was also once a member of the Lakers. This young man is very spiritual, flexible in steps, comprehensive in skills, and absolutely no problem in defense.

When Kuzma saw that there was no chance, he immediately passed the ball to McGee on his right hand.

McGee's back-at-shot defense against Zubac, who turned around at the basket, took advantage of the situation and took a throw.

However, his layup was relatively barely enough, Kawai came over and slapped it down.

The Lakers failed to attack again.

In the inside, the Lakers' substitute can't take any advantage.

After all, the Clippers are very good at the inside line now. They have two superstar forwards Kawaii and Paul George, and a good rookie center guarding the basket.

After McGee was blocked, the Clippers immediately launched a counterattack.

The Clippers counterattacked very quickly. This time, Kawai rushed to the basket and sent a dunk.

Vogel could not sit still.

Because, these substitutes really can't stand the main players of the Clippers, and they were already beaten up after the opening.

"Ding--"

Vogel called a pause.

With this pause, it also means that Vogel's attempt failed.

The Lakers immediately let LeBron James and other main players appear, but Wang Fei was continued to be placed on the bench.

Wang Fei knew that Vogel might want to send himself and LeBron separately so that every lineup of the Lakers can have a backbone.

The game starts again.
To be continued...
