Chapter 241 Still Give the Ball to Chen Yu!
The current situation of the Lakers is still okay, but everyone is a little uncertain about the next game.

The point is, Howard has something to say now.

Because when the fourth quarter was about to start, when D'Antoni arranged his tactics, he said directly: "In the fourth quarter, the 76ers should shrink their defense and stick to the inside. Chen, this time needs your offense, and also yours." Organization. Everyone try to hand the basketball to the point guard! Let the point guard run the offense."

This sentence really offended Howard and made him a little upset.

Chen Yu and D'Antoni have gotten to know each other better now, and D'Antoni really trusts Chen Yu, that's why they made this arrangement.

But Howard sounded a little upset. He felt that so far this game was basically supported by himself. Although Chen Yu's organization and so on, he had to admit that he was very good, but the tactical dominance in the fourth quarter was basically It would be ridiculous to hand it over to him.

In fact, Howard is usually good at emotional intelligence and the like. After all, he has been mixed up to his current status. Of course, he has his own unique but effective methodology and outlook on life, but now he is determined to become the boss of the Lakers. , I always feel that looking at Chen Yu is a bit unpleasant.

Coupled with D'Antoni's arrangement, it is very likely that his data will decline today, so he couldn't help but speak.

Howard said directly: "I think the fourth quarter can be played inside. You know, I can tear their defense. I have seen that the 76ers' perimeter defense is too strong, and Chen can't break their defense at all. Just be a good spot shooter and leave the rest to me!"

Although Howard's words contained a lot of emotion, this guy still spoke mildly, with a face that was completely for the team, so I have to say that he is still very good at playing.

But everyone knew the meaning of this sentence, and many people also took a look at Chen Yu, because this sentence was almost provocative!
Chen Yu rushed forward with a ball of fire in his heart, wishing he could punch this guy, but in the final analysis, he still had to focus on the overall situation.

If he really fell out with Howard now, rumors of discord in the locker room will easily appear. At that time, most people will think that it is Chen Yu's problem. After all, he is just a rookie. He has played well recently. The city will default to thinking that Chen Yu wanted to seize power and angered Howard...

Moreover, if they really get involved with Howard, it will be even more difficult for the Lakers to win, and Chen Yu needs the Lakers to win and enter the playoffs!
Therefore, Chen Yu didn't say anything, just waiting for D'Antoni's decision.

"Hey, Dwight!" D'Antoni thought for a while and then said, "What I said just now was somewhat ambiguous. In fact, the main meaning of handing over the ball to Chen Yu is to hand it over to the point guard. You understand what I'm trying to say. When the power is in Chen Yu's hands, he will still call the insider. Chen, you know what I mean, right?"

D'Antoni's words were obviously kind, but Chen Yu felt nothing, so he hummed.

Howard also hummed. He felt D'Antoni's retreat, so he didn't want to say more. Anyway, the strategic goal was accomplished.

After this turmoil, many people didn't talk much, they just felt that what might happen later, Chen Yu also packed up his mood, and then went to the game.

Now, the two sides are still tied. The Lakers have nothing to do with the Heat's outbreak, but they still have some means to deal with the 76ers.

For the first ball after the start of the fourth quarter, the ball was still in the hands of the Lakers.

Chen Yu took possession of the ball for halftime.

The shouts of the audience were a bit louder: "Hey, Chen! Three points! We want to see your three points"

"Chen, the team needs your three points!"

Everyone obviously felt that Chen Yu hardly shot in this game, which was a bit regrettable, so all kinds of words were endless.

Chen Yu basically turned a deaf ear and just started to advance to the frontcourt. Howard's desire to perform was still very strong in this game, so Chen Yu's previous physical exertion was not great.

At this time, Meeks circled to the left side of the basket. Although Howard was about to ask for the ball inside, Chen Yu felt that Meeks was in a better position, so he passed the basketball over.

Meeks' jumper missed.

What to eat and a little speechless, but some things really can't be helped.

Howard barely jumped to grab the rebound, the rebound went to the Sixers, and their offense made it.

In the next attack, in order to relax, Chen Yu gave the ball to Howard after breaking through. Howard had a good chance, but he didn't start it directly, but started the back attack himself.

Howard's physical strength was also exhausted today, and his back injury did not really heal completely. The ball missed, but the 76ers rushed over and completed a 3-point jumper.

5-0!

"Hey, man, give me the ball!" Howard came over to say something after serving to Chen Yu at this time.

Chen Yu felt very helpless. Howard was feeling a little angry now, and everyone could see it, but everyone basically couldn't solve it.

The next time, Chen Yu handed the basketball to Howard, and Howard really scored this time.

Chen Yu felt that as long as Howard could score goals, it would be okay to pass the ball to him all the time, so he tried to pass the ball to Howard as much as possible in the future, but now the 76ers are really shrinking the inside line, and many things are not done by manpower. for the transfer.

So, with 7 minutes and 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides became 76-70, and the Lakers had fallen behind by as much as 6 points.

After the opening of the fourth quarter, Chen Yu didn't get any statistics.

D'Antoni called a timeout, and as soon as he got off the field, D'Antoni got a little angry.

The target of his anger now is Chen Yu.

"Chen, why do you always have to pass the ball? You have to hit a few yourself, don't shirk responsibility! Do you hear me? You have to take your own responsibility!"

D'Antoni was really angry, which was rare. Although there was a difference between his anger and scolding Chen Yu for not playing well, his anger was indeed true.

Chen Yu felt a little aggrieved at first, but when he thought about it, this matter was really his own choice, and the most likely result of over-compromising was losing the game. There have been examples before.

However, after D'Antoni's words came out, Howard quit.

"Coach, my back hurts a bit. I want to take a rest first, is that okay?" Howard didn't contradict him, but made an embarrassing request.
