Chapter 1338 Crazy, a Dreamy Dance Outside the Three-Point Line

The reversal that all Lakers fans expected did not come. Although the Lakers changed their tactics in the second quarter and had an offensive battle with the Nuggets that fans loved to see. Ji Feng and Kobe both performed well. After several JK connections, His fast break dunks are also eye-catching, but the effect is really average.

Because despite relying on Ji Feng and Kobe's vigorous offense to break through the Nuggets' defense, the Lakers still lost by 5 points in a single quarter.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the reasons clearly. It’s not that the Lakers didn’t work hard. The Lakers’ two-point score tonight was slightly higher than that of the Nuggets. The reason why they fell behind was because the Nuggets’ outside offense and breakthroughs caused too much damage tonight. alright!

A set of data at halftime, the Nuggets made 7 of 8 three-pointers in the half and 14 of 16 free throws, scoring up to 35 points in both categories, while the Lakers only made a pitiful 2 of 7 three-pointers and only made 9 free throws. , scored 5 goals and scored only 11 points. Relying on these two data alone, the Nuggets led the Lakers by 24 points.

The biggest contributor here must be Billups. Chauncey, who had been in a downturn for two games, finally found his rhythm in this game. He scored 20 points in the first half. His breakthrough success rate was extremely high. He kept using Breakthroughs or points after the pick-and-roll tore apart the Lakers' defense.

And he made 3 of 3 three-pointers, a 100% hit rate, and also sent 5 assists. Regardless of the assist number, it is not that exaggerated, but Billups's biggest contribution has never been direct assists. , but the ability to threaten the ball. His scoring rate after one or two passes is the highest in the game.

Under his leadership, Anthony scored 15 points at halftime, JR scored 9 points, Martin scored 8 points, and Anderson scored 6 points.

Barkley gave Billups a very high evaluation during the halftime commentary: "In the first half, the best player was of course Billups. This guy is the most stable guy on the court. He always knows what to do. What to do when the time comes, reasonable, calm but deadly, he brings the entire rhythm of the Nuggets."

As for how the Lakers should chase points in the second half, major commentators also gave their own opinions.

Barkley believed that at this time, one should unconditionally believe in the abilities of Ji Feng and Kobe. He said bluntly: "In our era, when you were behind by such a big score of 18 points, forget about tactics. All you needed to do was hand over the ball. The most stable and strongest point in the team.”

There is certainly some truth to Barkley's words. The Lakers' substitutes were misfired tonight. Farmar and Radmanovic, who were adjusted in the second quarter, only scored 5 points combined. However, the starting two-tower interior score was still low, with only Kobe and Ji Feng scoring. The score is online.

Kobe had 13 points in the half, and Ji Feng had 17 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in the half. The two scored 30 points together, carrying the Lakers' offensive banner.

However, some people do not agree with such personal heroism. For example, ESPN tonight's commentator Van Gundy Jr. believes that the Lakers' biggest problem tonight is defensive tactics. He believes that the Lakers should focus on defense: "The Lakers' There is no big problem with the offense. Their biggest problem is that they cannot guard against the Nuggets' offense. They should change their tactics and use defense to contain the offense!"

This statement is also in line with Van Gundy Jr.'s coaching style, which puts defense first and sacrifices the individual to protect the collective.

There are many people who think like Van Gundy, and some even think that the Lakers should give up this game, train in the next half to figure out the opponent's tactics, and then concentrate on preparing for the next game.

This is of course a normal thought, but the Lakers will not admit defeat like this!

The second half begins!

There was no change of formation. Just as Barkley predicted, Master Jackson still believed in Ji Feng and Kobe. The two of them were superstars and knew what they should do now.

"Go at your own pace. Don't be burdened. Even if you lose, it's mine." Master Chan pulled Ji Feng and said before going on the field. There is no need to feel pressure in the second half. After all, we have already lost like this. It's time to let go. Give it a try!

And the best candidate to give it a try is naturally Ji Feng, who feels the best tonight!

"I'm confident!" Ji Feng patted his chest.

Game start!

Ji Feng broke through with a dribble, crossed over to the left to get rid of Anthony, nodded and bowed, and succeeded in a mid-range shot to open the scoring!

But Billups immediately assisted JR Smith for a layup.

"Dang, the defense is really not good. If you focus on the offense, you can't care about the defense. It seems that we still need three points!" The point difference remained unchanged this time, which also reminded Ji Feng that 2 points is not enough at this stage. It really doesn’t quench your thirst.

Turning his head, Ji Feng took the ball and moved it to the frontcourt without even thinking about passing the ball. Facing Anthony's defense, he elegantly dribbled the ball and took two steps back to make an independent three-point shot from the Golden Rooster. The ball went in! ! !

Ji Feng scored his second three-pointer of the game!

Anthony also wanted to return the favor, but the basket rejected Melo's shot, but Anderson made a contribution and grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in!

Ji Feng holds the ball, Kobe pulls away, Ji Feng calls a pick-and-roll, dribbles with his right hand and directly changes direction from behind, shooting behind Gasol again!

Come in again!

Consecutive three-pointers hit, and the point difference returned to 14 points!

After that, Ji Feng successfully defended, grabbed the rebound, and shot fast on horseback and shot an arrow!

Enter again!

Scored three three-pointers in a row!

"Crazy choices lead to crazy scoring, and the point difference is only 11 points!"

The Nuggets called a timeout!

"The basket is like the sea in Ji Feng's eyes at this time." Director Zhang said.

"This is the shooter. As long as their hands feel it, they will feel that they can shoot the basketball from any position on the court." Yu Jia said.

The timeout ended, and the Nuggets started full-court defense against Ji Feng. George Karl had already made arrangements. Anthony was not far away, and Billups was on the side to restrict him!

However, Ji Feng still did not give up his personal attack. Anthony's defense was so close that he could feel Anthony's hot breath, but this also gave Ji Feng a chance to operate!

He received the ball with his back and opened his shoulders, holding the ball low at the top of the arc. Anthony kept his eyes on the ball and did not catch Ji Feng's cross dribbling fake move. However, Ji Feng's operation did not stop. Facing Anthony Ji Feng's right hand was one-handed. He grabs the ball and moves it up a lot, as if he is about to shoot.

Anthony straightened up and wanted to block the shot, but Ji Feng was just a fake move. Under Anthony's gaze, Ji Feng retracted his hand, turned around, and shot a three-point jumper in one go. There was no one in front of him. His movements were elegant and unrestrained, and he shot the shot with a very low arc. Basket!

Anthony could only watch helplessly. He was completely shaken and couldn't move his center of gravity!

The basketball flew through the air and fell into the bag again!

Scored 4 three-pointers in a row!

"OH MAMA!" Barkley was completely stunned by the ball. He made such a fake move from outside the three-point line. This is too dreamy!

"Ji Feng! Ji Feng danced dreamily outside the three-point line, helping the Lakers narrow the point difference to only 8 points!!!" Yu Jia shouted.
