Chapter 806 Lost in the Away Game

With only 15 points in the first quarter, the Lakers accidentally scored the lowest score in a single quarter in the playoffs this season. The Green Army's defensive intensity left the Lakers with no way to go. They couldn't hit the inside, and there were no baskets on the outside. They had to rely on Kobe one by one. It was hard, but the Green Army knew that you and others were not good, so they double-teamed Kobe. When Kobe broke through, there was even a spectacle of four people double-teaming him. This also made it difficult for Kobe to score easily, even though he scored 8 points in the first quarter. , but after taking 10 shots, the scoring efficiency was very low. The Lakers shot only about 31% in the first quarter.

Not only that, the Lakers' backcourt rebound protection was also mediocre. They lost 3 backcourt rebounds in the first quarter. These three times, the Green Army scored all second offense points, while the Lakers' data was an embarrassing zero points.

Although the Celtics' offensive performance in the first quarter was average, their defense was in place. With the support of home BUFF, their offensive success rate was quite high.

Especially the Green Army twin towers composed of Garnett and Perkins, the defense once again suppressed the Lakers inside. Gasol made 0 of 3 shots in the first quarter and failed to score a point. Garnett really restrained him. On the other hand, Garnett But he scored 7 points and 4 rebounds on Gasol, including two offensive rebounds.

Perkins made Bynum very uncomfortable. Although Perkins is not regarded as a giant, in fact, Perkins' defensive ability is absolutely first-class, as evidenced by Bynum's repeated obstacles in front of him.

And the Green Army felt a lot more confident tonight. In addition to the Big Three, Rondo scored 4 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. James Posey came off the bench to score 6 points, and also stole Vujacic's pass twice...

In short, the Green Army can be called all villains tonight.

"The Celtics took advantage of Ji Feng's absence and played very targeted games. Pierce and James Posey scored 14 points in the first quarter. It was obvious that Vujacic could not fill the Lakers' third position. If the Lakers want to win this game, Kobe has to show his strength." Yu Jia analyzed during the quarter.

Ji Feng, who was at home, could no longer sit still. Hot Bar finally understood how crazy the men watching the ball were. Ji Feng spent the whole quarter constantly analyzing the tactics of both sides. By the way, the Green Army did not blow the home whistle for a foul. etc.

In the blink of an eye, the second quarter started, the Lakers did not dare to make large-scale rotations, the main players still played, and Jackson also made changes. Kobe moved to the third position to face Pierce, and Farmar and Walton were replaced on the back line!

"Kobe can be moved to the third position. His skills can make up for his lack of height, and his defense can also limit Pierce. And letting Walton, who is a better passer, play is obviously to maximize Kobe's offensive ability." Barkley said that he understood Zen Master's change of formation very well. Compared with Ji Feng's performance of Vujacic, he couldn't bear it.

"But if Kobe goes to fight against Pierce, who will limit Ray Allen? You must know that Ray Allen's recent performance is average, and Kobe accounts for the majority." Smith said.

However, he also knows that the Lakers' change of formation is really a helpless move. There is really no one who can stand up at the third position.

In the second quarter, Walton passed a few balls to the inside at the beginning, but the touch inside was really bad. Without Ji Feng, a passing master, they had to spend a lot of energy to fight with the two players next door after receiving the ball. In the hand-to-hand fight with the big black man, after several strikes, Walton simply stopped passing the ball and gave it to Kobe.

However, in the second quarter, although Kobe faced Pierce, whose tonnage was significantly higher, it gave Kobe the opportunity to move flexibly, and several strong footwork made Pierce tired of parrying.

Score 8 points in a row!

Kobe once narrowed the point difference to only 5 points!

"YES! Well done!" Ji Feng raised his arms in the air. Kobe's footsteps are definitely the best in the league. After Jordan retired, Kobe's footsteps are definitely the best in the league. His left and right feet are balanced and full of rhythm. Pierce, the tank, will definitely follow. Not on.

Then throughout the second quarter, the Lakers seemed to have found the magic weapon to win, which was to give the ball to Kobe and then pull away 1-4. Doesn't it feel similar, yes, that's right, the first few games of the Lakers' playoff game against the Suns last year were like this Playing like this, relying on Kobe's invincible touch and scoring ability, once beat the Suns to the point of shutting down, especially the two consecutive buzzer-beaters were really amazing.

But there are problems with playing like this. After all, basketball belongs to five people. It is difficult for one person to defeat five people alone, especially when the opponent is a team with the Big Three and a group of bench gangsters.

With Kobe's precise and unreasonable pull-up three-pointer, the Lakers extended the score to 1 point. There were 2 minutes left in the second quarter. This made the Lakers fans extremely excited and seemed to see the hope of defeating the Celtics in the away game.

But at this time, the Zen Master made a substitution and Kobe was replaced!

In fact, this is understandable. Kobe has played for 22 consecutive minutes without a minute's rest. He has faced off against the two giants of the Green Army, which has consumed a lot of his energy. At this moment, the score is catching up, and it is normal and reasonable for Kobe to go down and take a breather. choose.

After all, if you want to win, the second half is very important. Zen Master believes that Kobe must focus on the second half. How many teams collapse in the third quarter? Zen Master is not the main coach of the dead grass, so he changed .

But Rivers is exactly the man who is the main force of Death Grass!

Seeing Kobe go down, he replaced Pierce to rest. Ray Allen and Garnett continued to play, and he replaced James Posey to abuse Vujacic, and guard PJ Brown!

At this time, the depth of the bench comes into play. After replacing the two main players, the Green Army lineup still does not lose to the average NBA team.

The effect of this substitution was immediately apparent, and Garnett's long-lost dunk kicked off the Greens' scoring streak!

"It's not good..." Ji Feng vaguely felt that something was not good. The Lakers allowed the opponent to score too easily on this ball.

Sure enough, the Lakers' careless pass allowed the Greens to counterattack. PJ Brown, who had just come on the field, scored a fast break layup. Not only that, but Vujacic, who was eager to perform behind him, fouled...

The Zen master’s face turned dark. This is fucking rubbish...

The free throw was made and the point difference was back to 6 points.

The great situation that Kobe had accumulated was ruined...

This also became the turning point of the game. Rivers relied on his own main force to score points like crazy. Even though Kobe kept refreshing his scores, he still couldn't catch up with the score.

In the end, at the end of the game, the Lakers lost the game 95-105 on the road, with a 10-point disadvantage, and the total score was tied at 2-1!

Kobe shot 12 of 26 from the field, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 12 of 18 free throws. He scored a game-high 38 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and only 3 turnovers.

However, the Lakers have already lost, losing to the Big Three who played well and the Celtics, who scored in double figures with six players.

Garnett had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Ray Allen had 17 points, Pierce had 17 points, Rondo had 10 points and 10 assists, James Posey had 12 points, and Perkins had 10 points.

The Green Army used the performance of the entire team to win back a victory!
