"Bang!"

Tang Shuai sideways to avoid the two's head-on collision, but still cannot avoid them completely. The two people collided sideways in the air.●⌒,.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Mirotic's eyes. Even if he couldn't block the ball, he could not let Tang Shuai dunk the ball.

His thoughts were right, but just after the impact occurred, a hint of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes. Tang Shuai, who was one of the largest smaller than him, was now like an accelerated locomotive. He felt that his whole body was being pushed back.

How is this possible!

"Bang!"

Tang Shuai knocked away Mirotic and smashed the ball into the basket with his left hand.

The photographers on the sidelines pressed the switch mechanically, but their eyes widened.

Shuai Tang actually knocked Mirotic away and dunked the ball into the basket!

That's Mirotic! Although he is an inside line with an outside line, he weighs 200 kilograms, which is 50 kilograms more than Tang Shuai! This is unrealistic!

The fans on the sidelines rubbed their eyes, but the facts were right in front of them. After Tang Shuai dunked, his left veins slammed up, and he hung them on the basket with one hand and shook them before landing.

"Incredible! This is an incredible dunk!" It was not until Tang Shuai landed that McGrady came back from his shock. As a master of dunk, he hadn't seen such a tough dunk for a long time, and this even seemed a bit unreasonable.

Tang Shuai’s dunk just now was played on the LED screen on the scene, and the fans at the scene were amazed again.

For ordinary dunks, players' non-dunkers will have auxiliary actions. For example, when Griffin dunks Gasol's ball, the non-dunkers obviously pushed Gasol, but Tang Shuai, in this dunk just now, the non-dunkers always stood on one side, which means that he relied on pure strength to knock Mirotic away!

This is a slam dunk without any foul!

After Tang Shuai succeeded in dunking, he let out a breath. He was hit hard with Mirotic. Fortunately, Carter guided him and let the impact force be removed by half. In addition, he leveraged the force to transfer Mirotic's impact on him to the dunk hand, and then he completed this violent dunk.

But no matter how it was done, he only has one feeling, it’s good to have!

He turned around and slapped Gasol, then retreated. He didn't have to show any of it. From the silence of the fans on the scene, he could feel how much the ball hit the morale of the home court.

Morale at home was damaged. Wade directly asked for the ball to play against Stephenson when he arrived in the frontcourt. After a beautiful cross step, he broke into the basket and then a beautiful spinning top avoided Stephenson's defense and turned around and sent the basketball into the net bag.

Wade's competitive state is indeed good. Only he dares to take action at such critical moments and can make an effort.

“deen color!”

Wade's goal immediately raised his morale at home again, and the fans roared loudly.

With Tang Shuai's dunk and Wade's wonderful score, the situation on the court suddenly became extremely anxious.

Tang Shuai quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Before the Bulls' defense was completely settled, he took a big step back with Gasol's body and made a pull-out on the three-point line.

The ball was judged by Rondo, who was following the defense. He got up and wanted to interfere, but because he didn't control his hand while moving, he hit Tang Shuai's hand directly.

"Swish!"

Tang Shuai's pull-up jump shot made a steady hit.

The lineman's whistle rang out, and Rondo's foul!

After landing, Tang Shuai clenched his fists.

Hoiberg shook his head straight on the sidelines. The Lakers players felt extremely bad in this game, and even Tang Shuai was stared at him very much. However, Tang Shuai was always able to seize the opportunity that flashed by and found a phone call, and he could win almost every time.

Not to mention his ability, Tang Shuai's judgment of timing on the court is already amazing enough.

Tang Shuai walked onto the free throw line, took a deep breath and made a free throw.

15 to 20, led by Tang Shuai's super strong performance of 13 points, the Lakers were completely defeated on the defensive end and chased the gap to 5 points.

"Hey man, you really can't rely on one person, even though he's really strong! But please, basketball is not a one-person sport." McGrady shook her head in the comment seat.

McGrady's complaints did not change this form on the court. It was not until the two sides entered the rotation time and Tang Shuai was replaced, and this one-to-five-on-one situation ended.

In the first quarter alone, Tang Shuai scored 16 points and lost only two shots in 9 shots.

After Tang Shuai walked to the sidelines, he sat on the bench and gasped.

Fast offense and defense, taking over the attack, even if he has plenty of energy, even if he is a tough guy, he will be in trouble now.

After the substitute came on, the offensive success rate of both sides dropped significantly, and after the speed of the game was fast, Stephenson did perform well. With his leadership, when the first quarter ended, the score between the two sides was 28-36, and the score difference was not further widened.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was Tang Shuai's single-handed move in the first quarter that allowed the Lakers to avoid being beaten and collapsed.

Perhaps he finally realized that the small lineup could not gain any advantage in the matchup with the Bulls. In the second half of the second quarter, Walton used the double tower lineup he used in the previous games.

After this lineup came up, the Lakers' defensive strength increased significantly.

The Bulls' reinforcement this summer is very successful, but it also has a fatal flaw. Three-pointers are really reliable, even worse than the Lakers. The three-point shooting percentage of the Big Three last season was Butler 31.2%, Wade 15.9%, and Rondo 34.9%. To put it as a joke, Rondo: I'll teach you how to shoot three-pointers.

Among the five Bulls, Mirotic, the power forward, has the highest shooting percentage of 39%.

As soon as the Lakers' double towers came up, they did not have the firepower of the outside line. It was obvious that they could not play as smoothly as the first quarter by just breaking through.

The scoring success rates of both sides in the second quarter dropped a lot. By the end of the half, the battle between the two sides was 47-50, and the Lakers were still 3 points behind.

At the end of the midfield, Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief. The scores in the first and second quarters were completely different. I believe Walton should realize that playing a small lineup would not work.

"Brothers, work harder, win this game and we are the top three in the West." Gasol shouted to the players as he entered the player channel.

The Lakers caught up with the score in the second quarter, and Gasol made great contributions. He only contributed 2 points in the first quarter, but he scored 8 points and 2 assists in the second quarter. Using Tang Shuai's restraint, he won most of the Lakers' scores.

"We will be the top three!" Stephenson shouted.

“Top three!”

Some players followed and said, with voices coming one after another, and it was obvious that the second quarter game boosted the morale of the players.

After returning to the locker room, the team members rested for a while, Walton frowned into the locker room with his tactical board.

"Let's analyze the first quarter." Walton glanced at the players and said.

Hearing Walton's words, the players looked at each other in a flash.

"Harrison, you have to pay attention to the timing of assisting defense. If it is Dwyane, or Jimmy is playing in the low post, wait until they lose the space for breakthrough, and then go..."

"Norance, when Harrison goes out, you have to pay attention to the protection of the basket. You don't need to follow anyone, but you have to make sure you have the deterrent power under the basket and don't give your opponent a chance to make a layup easily..."

"Nicholas, you must be prepared to assist in defense. Once they make an internal pass, you must immediately make up for defense..."

"Don, Jordan, you must be ready to make up for defense at any time. The Bulls' offensive rotation cannot be perfect. As long as they stop the ball, we can defend it. This is the core of the small ball tactics. I have emphasized this to you before."

After Walton finished speaking, the Lakers players were completely confused.

Walton means playing a small lineup in the second half?

Everyone else looked at Tang Shuai. At this time, Tang Shuai was obviously the one with the most say.

"Luke, what you mean is that we have to play in a small lineup in the second half?" Tang Shuai said. He really didn't understand why Walton insisted on using a small lineup even though he played like that in the second quarter.

"Well, the small lineup must be used." Walton nodded without hesitation, "This is the trend of future basketball development."

"But..." Tang Shuai wanted to say that the first section of his body had proved to be unsatisfactory, but he hadn't said it yet.

"Ahem." Gasol deliberately coughed.

Only then did Tang Shuai notice that Walton's face was not very good-looking, and he swallowed the words he said to the point of his mouth.

Gasol's cough really reminded him that Walton announced it in front of so many players now. If he repeatedly questioned it, it would make him lose the head coach's majesty. It seems that this matter can only be discussed after the game is over.

When he just came back in the second half, Hoiberg walked out with a tactical board with a look of sorrow. He looked like he was still worried about how to deal with the Lakers' double towers. However, when the second half of the game began, when he saw the Lakers' lineup, he was obviously stunned. What tactics did Walton play?

He was unpredictable and could only play according to the routine at the beginning.

As a result, the Lakers' defensive end was still unsatisfactory. He immediately laughed. Walton was not giving up and he still had to play a small lineup!

After understanding this level, he felt relieved. He fought according to the established tactics, and as he fought, the lead came again. Amid the cheers of fans at the scene, the points were almost widened a little.

Walton's brows became deeper and deeper, and he could clearly feel his dissatisfaction with the team's performance on the court, but he just did not replace the double tower lineup of Noel and Gasol.

After the third quarter, the Lakers were 14 points behind. They lost 11 points in a single quarter, which was when Tang Shuai scored another 12 points in a single quarter.

The players were obviously a little dissatisfied. The head coach's authority comes from his coaching ability. One of the important points is that he can make correct judgments on the situation on the court. However, Walton completely ignored the victory or defeat of the game and insisted on using a small lineup, which caused his prestige in the team to be greatly challenged.
