After the first quarter, the Los Angeles team led by seven points with a score of 28:21.
He scored 12 points with 5 out of 5 points, plus 2 rebounded and 4 assists, and participated in the scoring of 22 points!
He scored 12 points alone and led the team to overtake. Now, he had pulled away the score. All of this was driven by Yu Huo. All the points were related to him.
" Well done, Yu." Wharton happily patted Yu Huo's shoulder." It seems that it wasn't luck that you were able to beat Ben Simmons."”
" Thank you," Yu Huo replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner." You can't survive long with luck, can you?”
A few of his teammates came over to give Yu Huo a high five, especially Little Nance, who had eaten pancakes a few times. He hugged Yu Huo and chatted and laughed, already becoming familiar with Yu Huo.
In the second quarter, Warton arranged for Russell and Anthony Brown to play. The point guard was replaced by another draft pick, Zach August, and the front court players were replaced by two substitutes.
After all, they were the future Gemini players selected by the Los Angeles Clippers. Warton would definitely arrange for them to play more.
" Oh, Yu, there's still a chance for you to perform in the second half," Warton suddenly turned his head and said to Yu Huo. It seemed that he was afraid of neglecting the hero who led the team to turn the tables.
"I understand. I'll listen to your arrangements, coach.”
On the Pelican team's side, Batischild was replaced. The coach could see the change in his mentality at this time. He had to replace the team's future star first. The point guard that was replaced was Ryan Boatlett, a small guard who could attack very well.
Russell held the ball. After the pick-and-roll, he did not choose to break through or try to shoot like Yu Huo. Instead, he keenly found his teammate's position and accurately passed the ball over.
It was a very good pass. Center Trevor Lasi received it very comfortably, and his position under the basket was also quite good. If it was O'Neal, it would be a brutal crushing slam dunk.
However, he was not.
Lasi used his strength to hit and found that his opponent was on par with him, so he gave up on attacking under the basket and directly jumped up and threw his hand.
Clang.
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and switched between offense and defense.
That was Russell's problem for the past year. He was so obsessed with being selfless that he gave up his excellent shooting ability.
The Pelican fans had already started cheering. The young guard, Bottlett, tore through the Los Angeles defense at an extremely fast speed and entered the basket.
Another shot. Russell still chose to pass the ball, but he executed the strategy of running without the ball accurately, waiting for the basketball that was difficult to return to his hands in this summer league.
This was the summer league! Other than him and Ingram, most players were fighting for a contract. The ball would only have a chance to perform if it was in their hands. Who would pass the ball to him according to the tactics at this time?
Five minutes of the battle had passed. Other than a few exquisite passes and two shots, Russell had nothing. On the other hand, Bertlett, a small guard known for his offense, actually played well. He led the entire team and fiercely chased after points.
The Los Angeles Clippers were back to being five points behind.
"Beep toot!"
After a pause, Russell returned to the substitutes 'bench dejectedly and drank water in a muffled voice.
" Hey, buddy." A hand was placed on his shoulder, and his thick oriental accent revealed his identity." What's wrong? Are you happy?"”
Lasalle very politely shook off Yu Huo's hand, still not saying a word.
"Your passing is great, but don't you think…"
"Are you better at shooting?"
Yu Huo used to think highly of this young man. When the outside world criticized Lasalle as a " fake," he noticed Lasalle's thoughts.
A teammate who was willing to pass the ball selflessly was the kind of person who was dreamed of on the jungle field. Even if he would not receive feedback from his teammates, he had never abandoned this selflessness.
He was great, but he was a little "unsociable."
Clarkson and Kobe Bryant were both good at holding the ball and finishing points. Russell could only be the starting point of the offense and get an assist. Most of the time, he got nothing or a mistake.
Wasn't this annoying?
"Yu, you and Larry go on stage and maintain our momentum in the first quarter!”Wharton knocked on the tactical board, seemingly not noticing Russell's downcast mood.
The time-out ended quickly. Yu Huo's appearance made the fans in the stadium cheer. Yu Huo enjoyed this feeling, a feeling of being noticed that he had never had in 20 years.
The Los Angeles team attacked. Russell held the ball and still chose to pass after the pick-and-roll.
The remaining fire caught the ball, feigned a shot, and took a big step to break through. He turned around and passed Bertlett. In the gap between the Pelican power forward and Russell, who had run out of the empty space, was found in the gap!
Russell was obviously stunned. He did not expect to receive a pass from his teammate.
"Throw!"
Yu Huo said something in Chinese in a hurry, but Lasalle understood the "oriental charm" contained in it, so he raised his hand and jumped.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and entered the net!
"A beautiful three-pointer from D'Angelo La of the Laker!”
Yu Huo could clearly see that Lasalle's face had turned red. He, who had a cold expression, took the initiative to run over and give Yu Huo a high-five.
The Pelican attack, Boatlet's attack, Russell was broken through half of his body position, and the remaining fire filled in in time. When Boatlet split the ball, his fingertips intercepted, Russell received the ball and sprinted!
With the familiar fast attack rhythm, Russell withstood the interference of Larry Druid and looked back to see the remaining fire.
The embers were pointing at the sky.
There was no need for words between the twin stars. Russell instantly understood.
The basketball flew high from Russell's hand. That was…
A pair of hands caught the basketball in mid-air and smashed it into the hoop with a fiery force!
The magnificent alley-oop instantly ignited the entire stadium!
