Chapter 646 All the Blacksmiths Take the Tianwang Mountain
Ji Feng's idea is not wrong. In the second quarter, although the Lakers were pure substitutes, the Nuggets went to JR and Martin to strengthen their offense.
The two did score 4 goals in a row at the beginning, and the difference was once narrowed to 14 points, which rejuvenated the fans of Pepsi Center.
However, the Lakers bench group can also hit, especially Derek Fisher!
He has not performed very well in the regular season this season. The Lakers’ starting vacancy has always been Walton, and sometimes he will let Farmar, who has performed well and has stronger offensive ability, go up and play with Ji Feng. Forward tactics, and Fisher often plays as a functional guard.
For example, if there is a powerful open space on the opposite side, Fisher will often play against them, and the old fish is mainly responsible for defense this season. Unless there is a good opportunity on the offensive end, he will not shoot easily.
Fisher is averaging just 9.6 points and 2.3 assists per game this season, the second-lowest numbers of his career.
So everyone said that Fisher is old, but Fisher is the more old and the more demon, as long as he plays, he will definitely be able to play a role. This is the fundamental difference between him and those players with the same level of data.
And regardless of his average statistics, Fisher can create opportunities for Ji Feng and Kobe on the court, and his ability to open up space and find vacancies is unique in the Lakers, not to mention that he is still the leader of the Lakers locker room.
Moreover, in fact, Fisher can still play, but he is not as old as before, so he is very smart to play dead in the regular season, creating an illusion that he is dead, and at the critical moment of the playoffs, it directly shows own fangs!
When JR hit a three-pointer and was gliding all over the field, Fisher directly sent a baseline ball, Farmar dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Turiaf broke through after blocking someone, and the Nuggets shrank their defense inside. Farmar passed the ball directly.
Fisher caught the ball at the top of the arc, and JR obviously didn't expect Fisher to catch the ball here, so the gap was huge and scary.
Fisher hit the knife and fell, and the three-pointer returned with color, and the difference returned to 17 points!
In the next 3 minutes, the score difference was kept around this score, and George Karl was so anxious to replace Anthony early.
But Anthony felt really bad today. He missed all the first 7 shots, and it was not until the eighth shot that he got his first sports score of the game.
Thanks to the two teams, Ji Feng sat off the court for a full 6 minutes. The Zen master replaced Gasol, Bynum, and the two players and the golden guns to a tie, and the difference was still around 14 points.
So the JK combination didn't get back into battle until 6 minutes into the second quarter.
"Go, see Lao Tzu come up and give you a surprise!" Ji Feng rushed to the court excitedly, he understood that his time would be very limited this time, so he must hurry up to complete the task.
So Ji Feng slipped the bottom line as soon as he came up, then ran out to catch the ball at a 45-degree three-pointer, and threw it directly against Anthony's defense.
The third shot Ji Feng felt it was over. After resting for too long, his hand felt a little stiff, and the ball didn't turn when he shot it.
Sure enough, the basketball shot out of the box!
After the Nuggets got the rebound, they fought back and Iverson made a layup!
Ji Feng didn't believe in evil, he shook his wrist, and then the same tactic, that is, the direction changed, the reverse 45-degree three-point line shot again!
boom!
Strike again!
"One side! Ji Feng's rest period is a bit long." Chang Zhi said, never mentioning whether it is reasonable or not, there is no doubt that he is really a fan of Ji Feng.
Fortunately, Bynum hit the ball with one hand and tipped the ball under the basket, otherwise Ji Feng, who threw it like this, would soon be pressed by Zen Master again.
"Dry, it's 50% right away, and it's really been a long time." Ji Feng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he didn't dare to throw it casually, after all, the score difference of more than ten points could easily be pulled back. , so he was going to wait and talk.
However, Ji Feng did not expect that his two strikes did not affect the Lakers, but instead affected the Nuggets' feel.
After the ball came out, the Nuggets played a wonderful counterattack. After Iverson broke through, he scored the ball, and JR caught the ball from the outside and threw it.
result…
boom!
With the same sound as Ji Feng, the basketball shot out of the frame, and Bynum easily received the rebound.
In turn, Ji Feng resumed a reasonable style of play, scoring the ball at the top of the arc, Gasol turned over and made a small hook, Kleiza was out of reach.
Gasol has scored 14 points, and this round of the series played really well.
The Nuggets seem to have fallen into a curse. After JR struck the iron, Iverson and Anthony also missed shots one after another. All the blacksmiths of the Nuggets bombarded their home court basket, but the anti-corrosion cover on the basket After the cover was over, he couldn't get in. Annoyed, Anthony punched the sponge under the basket.
Fortunately, the referee was merciful, and if he didn't recognize Anthony, he should have a complete rest...
In the end, it turned out that Camby, who was at the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound and scored the end of the scoring drought.
Then it was a counter-run to receive a pass from Iverson and a dunk, scoring four points in a row!
The Nuggets' worst scorer stepped up at the crucial moment and helped the Nuggets stabilize the situation.
But what is said is to stabilize the situation, in fact, the difference has returned to more than 20 points.
In fact, the Lakers' shooting rate is not as exaggerated as the previous two games. This season, the peak three-pointer is only 1 of 4, and the team's shooting rate is less than 40%.
But the Nuggets shot an astonishing 32 percent from the field at halfcourt, which is a dream to win.
At the end of the half, the Lakers led 64-38 by 26 points.
In the third quarter, George Karl, who was desperate, brought all the main players back to the court, and they all seemed to be carrying dynamite bags. They also knew that they could no longer throw with their hands.
But the Lakers also knew very well that Master Zen actually played zone defense on the court!
Just put your three-pointers and mid-range shots, and there is no way to break through!
Anthony tried it, and immediately fell into the encirclement of JK teaming up, and there were two strong men behind JK waiting to block at any time.
Thanks to Anthony's quick eyes and hands to pass the ball quickly, otherwise it would be another mistake.
"Hey, it's cold..." Many fans watched the Nuggets return without success again and again, the point difference was not pulled back but widened, and they all had such a clear understanding in their hearts, this game, the Nuggets It's really hard to come back.
When Iverson missed a shot again with 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Lakers seized the opportunity to make a wonderful offensive and defensive transition, and Ji Feng made his fifth three-pointer of the game.
The difference has come to 30 points!
"The Nuggets may have to accept their home loss, and the 3-0 situation will make their postseason journey even more difficult," Yu Jia said.
This is no longer poisonous milk.
After less than 6 minutes in the fourth quarter, George Karl, who had no hope of chasing points, replaced the golden double guns, which also means that the game officially came to garbage time!
The final score was fixed at 123-86, and the Lakers swept the Nuggets away and won three consecutive victories in the series!
