Chapter 8 Play
After a brief injury turmoil, the morale of the Clippers seemed to be low for a while. The Lakers hit a 12:3 climax, and the score fell behind 14 to 6. Doc Rivers also called a timeout.

"The Clippers need to adjust their mentality." Wang Meng said.

"When I first came up to play, one of the core players was injured, and all the players on the field were affected to a certain extent. Pause here, and continue after the advertisement."

Then, the live broadcast platform popped up the advertisement page.

But the barrage did not pay attention to this game at all. Instead, after seeing Beverly injured, the barrage increased rapidly.

"Is Qin Ming ready to play?"

"Luck is really good. How long has Jeremy Lin waited for such an opportunity. He has this opportunity in the opening game."

"It's an opportunity, rather than a test."

It can be said that whether Qin Ming can play or not affects the hearts of every fan on the other side of the ocean.

Rivers held his tactical board and surrounded all the players with a blank expression.

"Listen, I know getting injured in the first game is bad news, but we want to win the next game, for Beverly, for our fans, and for our perfect season. Lu Wei, I want you to rest, Qin Ming, and get ready to play."

When his name was called, Qin Ming's heart shook violently, and his palms were sweating almost instantly, but he knew that it was not nervousness, but extreme excitement.

As a professional player, this is not a time to be nervous.

As soon as he got the basketball and stepped on the court, he would become an extremely focused player.

Instead, Lu Wei, who was replaced, patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said, "Grab it, grab your chance."

Qin Ming nodded and jumped on the sidelines, pumping up his adrenaline.

beep!
The horn sounded again, indicating the end of the timeout.

"The timeout is over, the game is on, let's see what adjustments the Clippers make."

"We can see Leonard being replaced, get this, Harrell."

At this time, the live broadcast was placed in the frontcourt, and Harrell, Zubac, and Paul George entered the field.

"Rivers is based on the lineup of the Lakers. He has strengthened the height of the inside line and increased his inside defense and athletic ability, because here, the Lakers' three-point shooting rate is not very good."

"Hey, is this Qin Ming coming?"

Yang Yi suddenly gasped and said.

Then all the commentators looked at the screen in unison: "It's up, audience friends, Qin Ming is on the field, this really surprised us."

"This is his chance!"

Not only were they unexpected, but the narrator on the scene was also unexpected.

"It's unbelievable that Rivers and the Clippers actually took this guy who only signed a two-way contract to the game, and this is not garbage time, but the opening game, facing the team that is most likely to win the championship this year."

When Qin Ming appeared on the stage, many Chinese people who came to watch the NBA scene shouted and cheered for this soldier representing their motherland.

But at this moment, Qin Ming obviously couldn't hear anything. He took the ball from Shamet and entered the game state in a split second.

He looked at Caruso who was waiting for him to dribble across the half court to defend in the distance, knowing that the opponent's defense was also among the best in the NBA.

After halftime, Qin Ming dribbled the ball with a low body, waiting for Paul George to run out of space to catch the ball under the cover of the twin towers.

Maybe it will be an open spot, maybe it will be an opportunity to play singles with the ball.

Paul George bypassed layers of screens, but was still caught by Daniel Green, and there was no chance of an open space for a while.

He signaled Qin Ming not to pass it on.

The latter knew that the attack could only be carried out by himself.

There are 13 seconds left on the shot clock.

Qin Ming took two steps back. Within these two steps, he swept away the hit rate on the ground and remembered the attack route he predicted later.

Harrell approached the pick-and-roll very interestingly, and his defender was LeBron James.

Qin Ming crossed the pick-and-roll, James didn't have the idea to step forward, but waited for Qin Ming's next move at the free throw line.

The latter knew that he had a 60.00% shooting rate here, so he threw the ball without hesitation.

"Here, Paul George failed to complete the tactic. Qin Ming launched an attack on his own. Harrell came up to pick and roll. The Lakers chose to switch defenses. Qin Ming saw that James didn't come up and made a three-pointer...Go in!"

Swish!
The ball went into the net hollow, and Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Paul George ran up to give him a high five: "This is your game, rookie, you have this level, come on, let's win this game."

Qin Ming nodded and looked at Caruso who was dribbling over.

Offensively he's not really worried about his play, but he's worried about defense.

Sure enough, when Caruso saw that he was facing a point guard who was only 1.8 meters tall, he did not hesitate to choose to pass the ball to LeBron James.

The latter received the ball, and Caruso immediately stepped forward to pick and roll. Qin Ming failed to get Harrell's feedback, so he had no choice but to switch defenses.

Then, LeBron James lowered his center of gravity and headed towards the inside. With one step, Qin Ming flew one meter away. After two steps, Zubac came to defend, but was beaten into a two plus one by James.

"LeBron James! It's unstoppable!"

"Yes, we can see that although Qin Ming came up and threw a three-pointer, James immediately responded with a two-plus-one. His height is too short and his weight is thin. If this continues, James will play easily."

LeBron James stepped to the free throw line, took a deep breath, and made the basketball.

Qin Ming received the ball again and dribbled it across the half court. This time, Paul George didn't use complicated tactics, but received the ball directly, preparing to respond to the opponent's two plus one with singles.

He faced Daniel Green, who was also a good defensive player.

Paul George dribbles behind his back, feet wide, and does a crotch dribble while his shoulders wobble, but Green doesn't wobble and still maintains his good defensive position.

Paul George broke through with the ball, carried Daniel Green all the way and made a slow three-step, opened the defender and then threw the ball, and the basketball hit the board.

"Hey, the ball was almost covered by thick eyebrows, Paul George, amazing!"

Wang Meng said anxiously.

The Clippers returned to defense collectively, and they knew what they were going to face next.

The Lakers are likely to attack Qin Ming again, but they don't know who is coming.
