1375. Chapter 1375 Fighting with Blood to Regain a City

The G2 of the finals came to an end. Ji Feng's data in this game was fixed at 31 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds. Compared with the data in the previous three quarters, there was not much change. The main reason is that in the fourth quarter, Ji Feng basically did not play much, and the game entered the garbage. Time, he naturally will not fight.

The king of the fourth quarter was Kobe Bryant. 13 of the 27 points in the game came from the last quarter. He also shattered the Magic's final dream of chasing points.

JK once again dominated the field with a combined 58 points.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers twin towers also played well. Gasol contributed a low-key double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds, while his interior partner Bynum also scored 14 points and 9 rebounds.

This kind of play led the Los Angeles Sports News to praise the performance of the two with the title "The Lakers' twin towers make Warcraft no longer magical."

Indeed, after being suppressed in the second game, Howard's performance in this game was also unsatisfactory. He only scored 17 points on 5 of 10 shots and 7 of 9 free throws, and although there were 15 rebounds, 14 of them It is a backcourt rebound, and only one offensive rebound is credited. This performance is quite different from his performance in the Eastern Conference. He also did not have one player in the Eastern Conference semifinals and finals. of bravery.

The Magic's best performer tonight was Lewis, who scored 23 points.

Another disappointing person is Turkoglu. After being beaten by Ji Feng, he sleepwalked the whole court. He made 2 of 13 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points. , and 5 assists, which is basically a cut off compared to his playoff average.

After the game, ESPN and other authoritative media also analyzed this phenomenon, and finally came to the conclusion that the Lakers' defense was underestimated.

"Although the Lakers' regular season defensive strength is not bad, they are ranked 4th in the league in points per game and 3rd in the league in defensive efficiency, but the Cavaliers and Magic in the East are generally considered to be better defensive teams. However, these two games tell us, How terrifying the Lakers are when they put their energy into the defense, whether it's Howard or Turkoglu, they're lost in the Lakers defense."

The Lost Magic hurriedly ended the press conference and left the arena directly. When they left, they were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and did not release any harsh words. Only Van Gundy assured the fans that they would play something different in Orlando.

Everyone can see that the Magic seems to be a little lacking in spirit now. This is called a one-shot failure and three times of exhaustion. The two consecutive games lost, especially the second game, made the Magic have doubts about whether they could win.

In such a state, no one can guarantee that the Magic will be swept again. After all, the Magic has a criminal record. In the finals, O'Neal's Magic was sent back to his hometown by the Rockets in almost the same way.

Lakers fans are undoubtedly happy. Before the finals, they may have thought that they would win the first two games, but no one would believe that it would be so easy to win. Basically, the Lakers did not exert much effort, and the Magic just lay down, To get 2-0 in such a state, basically all fans feel that the Lakers are stable this time.

Although there are many teams in history that have taken the lead 2-0 and have been overturned, the Mavericks in 2006 are the best example, but the stark gap between these two games makes many people feel that it is really too difficult to make a comeback.

However, the Lakers did not pursue the need to win the championship on the road, especially the third game. The Zen master did not put forward any requirements to win. There was no way. The third game schedule was really unfavorable for the Lakers. They had to go directly from Staples flew overnight to Orlando, which spanned almost the entire continental United States, plus it was an away game, so Zen master was very worried about the Lakers' physical condition.

Sure enough, after getting off the plane, the physical condition of some Lakers players was not very good. The muscles of veteran players like Walton and Lao Yu were inevitably fatigued. Zen master could only cancel the training the next morning, and in the afternoon. The training has also been changed to video research and physical recovery-based training.

The Magic on the other side, after all, is their home court, so their state is much better than that of the Lakers. In addition, they have fallen behind 0-2 and have no way to retreat, so they must be in this third game. Desperately.

On the day of the game, that is, in the early morning of June 10, Howard arrived early in training for the first time. His thinking now has become very different from before the finals. At that time, he felt that the championship would be better than anyone else. , However, after being hit twice, he has become very pragmatic now, at least he has to win one at home!

Many Magic fans think so too. The 6-game losing streak in the finals has given fans of many other teams a little more basis to ridicule them, so their best hope now is to win a game!

Such pragmatic thinking has become the mainstream thinking in the Magic team before the start of G3. Perhaps even Van Gundy would not have thought that such thinking would become their life-saving straw!

At 7 p.m., the fans of both sides were waiting in front of the TV on time. The lineup was the same as the first game. This may be the biggest adjustment the Magic can make.

To be honest, big Van Gundy is desperate, after all, they have no more tactics to use.

This despair seemed to soon become a reality after the opening. After Lewis scored the first jumper in the opening, the Lakers played an 8-0 climax under the combination of the two towers in the interior, and then Howard led the team to play a wave of 11-4. Attack wave, but Kobe Bryant immediately began to show his power, mid-range shot, breakthrough, three-pointer!

One person arranged 7 points to give the Lakers a 19-14 lead in the first half.

After that, Magic Alston made a 3-pointer, Howard made 2 fouls and 1 of 1 free throws, Turkoglu picked up a rebound and hit a mid-range shot, but Kobe was still brave, 2 consecutive 3-pointers and a shocking 3+1 made Orlando stunned Voice.

In the first quarter, Kobe scored 17 points alone, and the Lakers led 31-24.

At this time, everyone felt that the Magic was going to get cold. What a familiar rhythm, the Lakers won the first two games like this.

But at this time, the Magic players exploded in combat power, and their hit rate began to increase rapidly!

In the second quarter, Pietrus threw an incredible three-pointer in front of Ji Feng, and then Alston was called by Zhang Gui for an unreasonable shot and a rebound into the frame, which made the Magic smell the opportunity to chase points!

The Lakers played the most powerful Kobe Bryant then encountered double teams and no longer had the opportunity to score easily. He was also awarded a big "hot pot" by Howard, while Lewis' two 3-pointers and Howard's two free throws allowed the Magic to complete the last 2 minutes. The 8-2 offensive led 59-54 in the first half.

Magic has overtaken at halftime!

This surprised the fans and made the entire Magic home field even crazier. All kinds of support were spilled out in the midfield without money, which inspired the Magic players even more.

In the third quarter, although Ji Feng took over the game with 8 points in a row, Gasol scored 2+1 in 2 consecutive rounds, but the Magic hit rate remained high. Howard even made a mid-range shot. Overjoyed, and that's just the epitome of the Magic's incredible goal in this section.

After three quarters, the two sides tied 76-80, and the Magic still led by 4 points!

In the last quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately. The Lakers chased the points frantically. Ji Feng used an incredible 3-pointer in the last minute to help the Lakers reduce the point difference to 1 point. Caused a foul, but at the critical moment, Laoyu made 1 of 2 free throws, and the two sides tied!

The game goes into overtime!

In overtime, the two sides tied in the first 4 minutes. However, at the last moment, Magic Lewis stood up and made a three-pointer to give the Magic a 3-point lead. In the last 20 seconds, the Lakers missed the lore and had to foul and send Nelson to the free throw line.

In the end, the Lakers unfortunately lost the game by 108-112, 4 points.
