Chapter 554 How to Turn Around Against the Wind
One thing you definitely need to pay attention to in the NBA is don't fight the referees at any time, don't talk to the referees, and don't yell at the referees when you're okay, especially if you're not a superstar. .
Because the referee will not hesitate to show you his authority.
So what if you are a superstar, when the referee sees you unhappy, he will punish you when he corrects you. Duncan is good enough, that is, after sitting on the bench for a long time, after a long-awaited happy wave, he is called by the referee. 'I've never seen you laugh, are you targeting me by laughing like this?' and was sent off the court.
So Bynum's roar didn't bring him any effect. The referee didn't even bother to look at him, so he drew with both hands.
"Lakers No. 17, technical foul!"
One free throw!
"Calm down man! Do you want to watch the ball in the locker room!" Ji Feng saw that Bynum was already on his head, he rushed to stop Bynum, who was still trying to go up, and pushed him away. Going down, the Lakers are completely at a disadvantage.
"SHIT! Damn referee!" The Zen master stood up after seeing this scene, walked to the technical desk and started negotiating, but it could not be changed.
He has already smelled something wrong. Bynum is the center of his current tactics, but this ratio is still the same, and the immature problem has been committed again.
McGrath scored his tenth of the game in a penalty. At this moment, the Lakers called a timeout, and Turiaf replaced Bynum, who was above him, and brought new instructions from Master Zen.
At the same time, McGrady also received the support of Adelman. McGrady's shy eyes were hidden, and he knew without Adelman that this was the best time to play an advantage!
At this moment, there are still about 6 minutes in the second quarter. After the Rockets made a penalty, they were ahead by 6 points. The score was 36-42 at this time!
The Lakers arranged defensive positions. According to the Rockets' routine, the Lakers contracted the inside line, while Kobe locked the three-point line to defend McGrady.
But no one thought that the Rockets suddenly changed their moves!
McGrady frantically went around the baseline to catch the ball, Kobe followed closely, and McGrady received the basketball at 45 degrees on the flank.
McGrady wants to play singles, which is what Ji Feng wants to do at this moment, so Ji Feng slowly wants to move near Kobe to see if there is a chance to form a sideline attack.
But as soon as Ji Feng made his move, Battier moved.
"Not good! Maddie is a feint!" Ji Feng saw that Scola on the inside came up, and he did a pick-and-roll for Shane!
Sure enough, Shane used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Ji Feng by about 1 meter. While standing in the bottom corner to catch the ball, McGrady's breakthrough just attracted the double team!
Maddie made a pass directly to the right!
Ji Feng caught this set of cooperation and wanted to go up to block, but Scola was a thief, he hindered Ji Feng's action, so Ji Feng could only watch Shane take the ball and adjust his shot!
Swish!
Basketball hollow into the net!
Shane is open in three!
9 points, the biggest difference in the game appeared!
"The Rockets let McGrady make a feint, break through to attract defense, and Battier pick-and-rolls to catch the ball in one go. Who said Battier can't attack, he is currently averaging 15.6 points per game, and he is a player who can average 20 points per game. Both the top of the arc and the three-pointer from the corner have one hand." Director Zhang said with emotion: "The Lakers didn't expect it at all, and Turiaf's ability to protect the basket is still much worse than Bynum's."
"Well, it depends on the adjustment ability of the Lakers." Yu Jia said.
"It's a routine." Ji Feng looked at Battier and said, this is Battier's first active attack in this game, looking at the way the Rockets move, this is specially formulated for Battier, and it is very effective The shadow of the Kings back then was only the executor changed from Peja to Shane Battier.
Although Battier's 3-point shot is not as good as Peja's and he is not famous, Battier's 3-point shot has not been weak. This season, Battier's main scoring method is three-point shooting, which is the Rockets. Stable three-point turret.
On average, he made 5 shots per game and hit 2. Although the hit rate is not very high, he dared to make shots at critical moments, and the hit rate is considerable.
Anyone who dares to underestimate his three-point ability will suffer a lot.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant's post-up success helped the Lakers finally get the first point in 2 minutes.
But here comes the rocket!
The same is McGrady, this time McGrady chose to break through the top of the arc. After continuous fake moves, he used his speed to rely on Kobe to force a breakthrough.
This time McGrady made a successful breakthrough and attacked the inside line, Turiaf came up to make up the defense, and Ji Fengce came over from the flank to help defend.
However, McGrady scored the ball directly, and Shane received the ball and made another three-pointer!
Swish!
Again!
"Go!" Ji Feng stretched out his hand to signal his fault. He wanted to break McGrady's ball too much and ignored Shane.
"What a god! Shane hit a three-pointer again!" Yu Jia shouted.
"McGrady contributed a lot to this goal. He broke through alone and attracted the Lakers to defend with three people. Kobe did his best to defend, but McGrady still went in, which also caused Ji Feng to be attracted out." Zhang said.
"Inside and outside!" Adelman stood up and clapped, shouting tactics by the way, the difference has come to 10 points, this time is the best time to officially consolidate.
The two consecutive three-pointers drove the Rockets fans crazy. There was no one sitting in the audience, and Ji Feng could no longer hear the words of his teammates on the court.
Not only that, this is the first time the Lakers have been led by 10 points for the first time in half a month, so everyone including Ji Feng seems very impatient.
This also caused the Lakers to have very few offensive methods. Although the Zen master called a timeout, the impatient Lakers will continue to solve the problem with singles for the rest of the time.
Although Ji Feng carried Shane Battier to hit a difficult mid-range shot, and Kobe Bryant succeeded in one hit and three, the Rockets continued to increase the score.
"No way..." Hot Bar muttered to himself while watching the TV. The referee had just blown the whistle at the end of halftime, and the Lakers generals walked back to the player tunnel without saying a word.
The camera is constantly aimed at the expressionless Ji Feng and Kobe, who are in stark contrast to the jubilant Rockets next door celebrating with high fives.
Scores say it all.
At the moment, the Lakers are 44-58, 14 points behind the Rockets!
The Rockets beat the Lakers 38-23 in a single quarter!
Lost 15 points in a single quarter!
It was the Lakers' worst first half of the year, with less than 50 points at halftime, and the Lakers' lowest halftime score in 20 games.
The Lakers entered the second half with a deficit of more than ten points after a long absence.
Ji Feng only scored 8 points in the half, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Kobe 12 points and 4 rebounds, and JK had 20 points in the half.
