With Oladipo's quick layup, the Pacers took the lead.
On the opposite side, Russell was not to be outdone and led the team to launch a fast attack.
After a few rounds of passing, the ball fell into Crabbe's hands.
"Clang!"
The Nets 'point guard fired a close-range shot, and the ball bounced out of the basket.
Crabbe rushed to grab the rebound, then pounced on the back of the Pacers 'power forward against Saydis Young, and both of them fell to the ground.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and penalized Crabbe for a foul.
"F * ck!"
Crabbe cursed as he stood up. Then, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his feet. He was limping.
Seeing this, his teammates hurriedly ran over. The Nets 'team doctor also came over to ask about the situation.
Crabbe took a few more steps, the expression on his face becoming more and more painful. He shook his head helplessly at the team doctor.
Then, with the help of the team staff, he staggered into the players 'passage. There was a high chance that he would not be able to return for the game.
The commentator said," The Nets are in trouble. The starting shooting guard is injured and has left the field. This is bad news for them.”
The Nets lost two points and one of their best players. It was a bad start.
Atkinson frowned and pondered for a while. Then he sent Ding Weidi to play as the point guard and Russell to be the point guard.
Wang Ting was still left on the bench.
The Nets coach knew that their starter couldn't beat the opponent, so he planned to let Wang Ting play the role of the bench bandit and use the second lineup to fill the hole. It was a bit like Tian Ji's horse racing.
On the field, Oladipo looked at Lasalle, who was walking toward him, and said in a mocking tone,""Dan 'Angelo, what's wrong with your manager? Why didn't you send out the real team leader?”
"What did you say?"
Lasalle knew that the other party was provoking him, but his words had hit the nail on the head, so he couldn't suppress his anger.
"You can't beat me. It's better for Wang Ting to do it.”Oladipo shook his head in feigned disdain.
" Shut up!" Lasalle gritted his teeth." I'll use my actual performance to make you shut up!"”
After that, the game gradually became a showdown between the team's bosses.
"Russell has broken through! He missed the layup."
"Oladipo! Rush into the penalty area and score a dunk!"
"Russell's three-pointer missed.”
"Oladipo is on the outside, three points!”
"Russell, pass to Allen on the outside, cut off!”
"Oladipo's high toss, Turner's alley-oop, a slam dunk!”
In the face of the obvious difference in strength, Lasalle lost this conversation as expected.
What was even more infuriating was that whatever he did, Oladibi would use the same trick to target him, and then use a more beautiful method to succeed. It was simply full of mockery.
"Dan 'Angelo, calm down!" Atkinson frowned and shouted," Play well!”
It could be seen that Lasalle couldn't help but go crazy again, and he was going further and further down the road of being stupid.
Fortunately, Russell quickly adjusted his mentality and no longer paid attention to the one-on-one fight. He began to focus on making balls for his teammates, trying to use his organizational skills to regain his dignity.
As expected of the boss of the Nets in name, he still had some strength. Under his leadership, the team's offensive efficiency slowly improved. Ding Weidi, Jeff, and the others scored points for the team one after another.
However, the opposing Pacers were stuck in a sluggish offense. Due to their over-reliance on Oladipo's solo play, there was a problem with their rhythm of offense and defense, and the defensive loopholes became more and more obvious.
"Beep-"
The referee blew the whistle, and the Pacers called a time-out.
After the pause, the situation suddenly changed.
Oladipo no longer controlled the ball. Instead, he handed the task of organizing the offense to his backfield partner, Collison. He himself was like an ordinary character, honestly running without the ball.
His sacrifice for possession of the ball quickly yielded good results.
After the tactical system was reactivated, the Pacers finally displayed their strength and beat their opponent 8:2.
Russell saw that the team was at a disadvantage, and his teammates were hitting iron one after another. Unknowingly, he wanted to open the situation by playing a single.
The result of doing so was naturally to worsen the team's situation.
"Pa!"
Oladipo stretched out his hand and swiftly dropped his opponent's racket.
The strength of the league's stealer was indeed impressive. Before Russell could react, the basketball in his hand had disappeared.
"Oladipo, fast attack, Russell, follow closely. Oladipo, layup, 2 1!”
Russell not only allowed his opponent to score this time, but he also fouled himself and made a mess.
In a VIP box in the arena.
"This guy!"
The Nets 'general manager, Max, slammed the table angrily, his face rather gloomy.
He had always regarded Russell as the first cornerstone of the team. For this reason, he traded Lin Shuhao, who had a conflict with his position in the offseason. After Wang Ting's performance, he wanted to trade Wang Ting away. The purpose was to consolidate Russell's position as the boss.
However, Russell had not played a single match since the start of the new season. He was completely outclassed by his own substitute.
The Nets 'big boss and second boss were watching this game with their own eyes. In the end, this guy was beaten up by his opponent in front of the two big bosses.
F * ck, you better work harder!
