Chapter 1362 The Opportunity Has Come! Ji Feng Attacks!

The game between the Lakers and the Magic reached the middle of the second quarter. At this time, everyone could tell that this was a completely different game from the Cavaliers. When playing the Cavaliers, Howard was very comfortable. Big Z and Varejao were tied up. Together they are not enough for him alone, but tonight, the combination of Gasol and Bynum made the Magic suffer.

Up to now, the Magic have only scored 6 points in the paint, and Howard only made 1 of 7 shots. He scored the two points shortly after the opening, and then fell into an infinite hand-to-hand battle built by the twin towers and couldn't extricate himself.

"SHIT!" Magic cursed fiercely after another in vain run back and forth without even touching the ball. However, he had no choice but to continue running like this, and there was someone constantly looking for him next to him. Troublesome Bynum, Howard really feels that he is in trouble.

"Howard was restricted. The Lakers' defense was too targeted tonight, and the Magic's offense basically didn't open up." Su Qun said.

The Lakers' defense is really good. The two best defensive teams of Ji Feng and Kobe are really not just talk. JK's defense reminds people of the peak Bulls, No. 2 Jordan and No. 3. Everyone knows Pippen's strength on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the two are also very strong. The six championships back then were indispensable for the defense built by these two on the outside.

Few outside superstars at the time could escape the defense of these two men.

The defensive power of Kobe and Ji Feng is even stronger. Their ability to be selected to the defensive first team for two consecutive years is by no means an exaggeration. Coupled with the tacit understanding between the two, when these two are in good condition and focus on defense, The No. 2 and No. 3 positions of other teams in the league will have to shed their skin when encountering the Lakers.

Turkoglu fully realized this tonight. He was very embarrassed by Ji Feng's death entanglement. Although he was taller than Ji Feng, Ji Feng's confrontation ability was much stronger than him. In addition, there was Kobe Bryant next door. Watching with eager eyes, Turkoglu's offensive efficiency dropped to freezing point.

On the field, the time reached the last 2 minutes of the second quarter. With the magic ball, Turkoglu still wanted to change the situation. He wandered outside the three-point line looking for opportunities to attack or distribute the ball. The next door Lewis finally got rid of it. Gasol's defense stepped out of the three-point line to catch the ball, but this intention was really obvious!

"Oh! Turkoglu made another mistake. His pass was seen through by Kobe. Kobe directly stole the ball and passed the ball. Ji Feng dribbled behind his back to throw away the defense and passed the ball without looking at anyone!"

"Kobe Bryant alley-oop dunk!"

"Poor Alston, becoming the backdrop for Kobe's dunk!"

With this dunk, the Lakers officially brought the point difference to double digits, exactly 10 points!

Thanks to the Magic's back line, Nelson and Alston were in good shape tonight, and the Lakers did not restrict this, the Magic could barely maintain the point difference.

"Nelson made another emergency stop!"

"Score in!"

"It's difficult, it's really difficult. Nelson, the savior, scored 11 points today. Basically, they were all difficult goals!"

But even so, at the end of the second quarter, the Lakers had widened the point difference to 12 points, 52-40, and the two sides entered the halftime break.

During the intermission, Howard was naturally very angry. When he entered the door, he threw the water bottle in his hand, kicked down the stool, sat down in his seat and shouted: "Trash! We can't even beat the Bobcats." , do you know how to play ball! We are already going to be laughed to death by those Staples guys!"

(Lynx:???)

"Inside! Give me the ball! I'll attack! I'll definitely give those guys some color!"

It's easy to understand Howard's anger. After all, this guy has a kid's heart. His emotions are written on his face when he is playing comfortably and when he is uncomfortable. In addition, he has always believed that he is the well-deserved offensive core of the Magic, and he is The core scored a total of 4 points in the first half. The last two points were scored by trying his best to grab offensive rebounds. That was also his first offensive rebound tonight!

To be honest, for a league's number one center, this first half was really miserable. He played 23 minutes in the entire first half, the highest number in the game, but his data was a pitiful 4 points and 3 rebounds. In comparison, Lakers dual-core: Ji Feng had 10 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, Kobe had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. It’s really incomparable...

This was not a big blow to Howard, who was motivated to show his prowess at the Lakers' home court, so he was naturally angry. Although this anger seemed unreasonable, because his teammates either didn't want to pass the ball to him, or they couldn't pass it in at all. If you, Howard, had some skills in post-ups, this ball wouldn't have been like this...

But no one dares to say this now. After all, what Howard said in the end is still right. If they want to win this game, the inside line must be opened, otherwise they will not be far away from being cool.

So Van Gundy specially designed tactics in the midfield. He decided to take a gamble and give Howard more singles opportunities!

Next door to the Lakers, Ji Feng saw an opportunity to complete the task. The first half made Howard impatient and consumed a lot of his energy. Ji Feng decided to try in the third quarter!

The third quarter begins!

Howard was still on the court, and the Magic made almost no adjustments. The Lakers replaced Radmanovic, Walton and Farmar.

The Magic's first attack finally took advantage of the absence of the Twin Towers. Howard used a big elbow from the inside to push away Bynum. Nelson passed the ball. Howard hit it with all his strength, knocked away the defense, turned around and dunked hard!

"Roar~!" Howard roared after dunking in. This ball finally allowed him to vent his anger.

"YES!" Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly directed his players to play inside. Taking this opportunity, he must let Howard open up completely!

Coincidentally, Kobe Bryant responded with a shot next door, turned around in the low post to play with Courtney Lee, and scored with a picturesque fadeaway, which further stimulated Howard's desire to attack.

The inside did the same thing again, this time there was no dunk, and the ball was put in with a rebound. This is already a great improvement for a rough guy like Howard.

After that, for four consecutive rounds, the Magic gave Howard a low-post shot. Radmanovic was much less of a threat than Gasol, and the effect of double-teaming was average. Howard also tried his best and scored one of them. 3 goals brought his score to 10 points, and the point difference returned to 8 points.

But Howard doesn't know yet, Ji Feng's attention has been on him for a long time!

"Farmar!~"

"Is it coming?"

"Yes, in the next round, I will find a way to squeeze into the penalty area. No matter what, throw the ball to me!"

"Crazy choice! No problem! I'll do it!"
