With a slight advantage of 7 points, they won the first game. While maintaining their unbeaten home record, they also took the lead in this round of 7-game best-of-four series.

"We finally won." Ji Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that a heavy burden had been lifted off his body, and his ankles were numb. Then he sat down on the floor and never wanted to get up again.

He really tried his best in this game. The intensity of the last moment was suffocating. Both sides were furious. The confrontation was so intense that even Ji Feng felt like he was losing his strength. Ji Feng felt that he was already exhausted. Being hollowed out, of course, has something to do with Ji Feng being injured to begin with, but the 6 shocking blood lines on Gasol and Dayao can't lie. This game can definitely be called the most brutal and intense game of the season. the match of.

The moment this game ended, the entire United States was in an uproar, and the world was in an uproar!

Without him, this game was really like a roller coaster. From the first minute of the first quarter to the end, there were really countless topics worth talking about.

This game was so shocking that ESPN gave the data immediately after the game:

In this game, the Lakers rotated 8 players, 4 scored in double figures, and 2 scored over 30. Among them, Kobe Bryant ranked first on the team and second in the game with 37 points, making 12 of 26 shots and 2 of 4 three-pointers. , made 11 of 14 free throws, and also had 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Although the shooting rate was not too high, his performance at critical moments was still outstanding, especially when Ji Feng left the field due to injury, the Lakers Once falling into a scoring drought, thanks to Kobe's constant impact and damage, the Lakers did not lose too miserably.

However, the most dazzling Lakers player in the game was Ji Feng who staged the return of the king. After being injured by Artest's cruel step and leaving the game, Ji Feng returned when the Lakers were most dangerous and performed brilliantly. It was the Lakers who completed the comeback. The biggest contributor!

Ji Feng only played 25 minutes in this game due to injury, but he scored an astonishing 36 points in the game. Especially in the last quarter, he scored 25 points in a single quarter, setting a personal playoff single-quarter scoring record in one fell swoop.

The 25 points in a single quarter in the playoffs also surpassed Bernard King's 23 points in a single quarter and Michael Jordan's 24 points in a single quarter, tying the Smiling Assassin Isaiah Thomas's 1988 Finals game between the Pistons and the Lakers. The record of 25 points in a single quarter set in six games ranks fourth in history!

And he made 7 of 7 three-pointers, breaking Walker's record for three-pointers made in a single quarter in the playoffs and his shooting percentage record!

In addition to scoring, Ji Feng also contributed 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Especially the steal of Brooks' goal at the last minute was named the best moment of the game after the game!

JK scored 73 points together, becoming the duo with the highest score in a single game in this playoffs!

In addition to JK, Gasol had a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Bynum had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. Although the Twin Towers did not score high, they took on most of the Lakers' defense in the paint. The mission is also the backbone of the Lakers' comeback in this game.

In addition to the starting four, the other four players also scored. It can be said that the Lakers' performance in this game was not bad. If it were placed at other times, the Lakers might have won easily, but tonight they played well. In the most thrilling game of this playoffs, in order to win, the Lakers used all their means and fired every last bullet.

The Rockets' performance is not bad, especially Dayao, a player who was like a bug in this game.

Barkley said that tonight he was just like O'Pang back then, killing God when someone blocked him, and killing Buddha when blocked by Buddha.

Let’s not talk about whether this sentence is an exaggeration. Just from the perspective of this game, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. Dayao played 45 minutes in this game and made 14 goals in 20 shots and made all 10 free throws. He scored a game-high 38 points, a game-high 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 70%. The 38 points was also a career high for Dayao in the playoffs.

Let’s be honest, if someone could score 38 points in the playoffs on just 20 shots, the coach would be like, “Give him the damn basketball!”

You must know that the one standing opposite Dayao is one of the best inside combinations in the league. They are not some country chickens and dogs. The twin tower combination of Bynum and Gasol only scored a total of 22 points in front of Dayao. Yao absolutely had a crushing performance in this game.

Besides Yao, Brooks is undoubtedly the second hero of the Rockets in this game. In this game, the little black bean continued his highlight performance against Fisher in the regular season. After Artest was ejected, he took on more than half of the Rockets' outside offensive firepower. Brooks faced the Lakers' back-line battle and scored 26 points and 7 assists in 37 minutes and 26 seconds, making all 6 free throws and 4 of 12 three-pointers.

Brooks was one against three, and it was already very good to be able to produce such data. Single-handedly and with the Lakers defenders who combined experience, physical strength, speed and athletic ability to fight to the end, Brooks did everything he could, and the defeat was just a loss. It was an expected ending, and no one would blame him for today's defeat.

So far this season, Brooks has averaged 24 points and 3 assists per game over Fisher. It can be said that he has an absolute advantage. From the beginning of the game, Brooks played with Fisher like a cat playing with a mouse, and he played with Fisher until the end. Even Smith had questions: "I don't understand why Derrick is still on the court."

It's not that Fisher doesn't work hard, it's just that his style is restrained, and it can be so cruel sometimes.

In addition to Dayao and Xiaohei, Scola was as stable as ever, scoring 14 points and 5 rebounds in 10 shots. This performance was good enough.

It can be seen that both sides played their best in this game, and the flashes of the main players on both sides made this game exciting from beginning to end.

But in addition to these, people's attention is naturally also focused on various conflicts in the game.

"The most brutal playoff game of the season."

"A miserable victory."

This was the news headline printed by the Los Angeles media after the game.

Yes, both sides paid a heavy price in this game. Ji Feng was injured and his appearance in the next game is undecided. Artest was expelled and will most likely face a suspension. The same is true for Vujacic, and Battier also received 5 stitches on the corner of his eyebrow. , Gasol's arm was also scratched, and emergency treatment was performed after the game...

These are what the fans see. On the field that the fans cannot see, only they know how intense it is on the field.

In short, after this game, the gap between the two sides has been settled. It depends on how the subsequent games will proceed.
