Chapter 1143 Duncan Shines

The Lakers finally achieved a comeback in the third quarter, beating the Spurs by 7 points in a single quarter, eliminating the disadvantage in one fell swoop. Ji Feng is considered to be the key player for the Lakers to achieve a comeback in the third quarter!

"It was Ji Feng's clever low-post play that created enough trouble for the Spurs. Ji Feng went to the low-post 8 times this quarter, contributing 6 points and 3 assists, hitting the boards three times and passing the ball three times, in exchange for 12 points, that is It is said that Ji Feng's success rate in the low post is 100%. This efficiency allows the Lakers to score more than the Spurs in the paint for the first time in a single quarter!" Yu Jia analyzed during the break between quarters.

Director Zhang directly called Ji Feng a low post killer. He believed: "Ji Feng did not often go to the low post in previous games, but in fact I checked and found that Ji Feng's success rate in the low post had already topped the league before this game. On the outside, the singles success rate reaches 92%, which means that as long as Ji Feng reaches the low post, it basically means two points. The passing success rate is even more exaggerated, as high as 100%. As long as Ji Feng dares to flank, Ji Feng can always score. In the hands of an open teammate, this game only magnified Ji Feng's strengths, and Ji Feng is a well-deserved low-post killer."

This is the reason why Zen Master asked Ji Feng to go to the low post. The Spurs' two interior towers were too restrictive in this game, so Zen Master chose to let Ji Feng go to the low post. Zen Master naturally knew that the lethality of Ji Feng in the low post was not as powerful as that of the perimeter defender. The season peak difference of the ball attack can be miraculous at certain times. This game is a typical example.

Ji Feng's contribution in this quarter was not only that. In addition to the low post, Ji Feng also contributed 2 three-pointers, scoring 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. After halftime, Ji Feng had already scored 30 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.

But this still has to praise the Spurs. Even if Ji Feng played so well, they were still only two points behind. Duncan's 28 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the three quarters were not inferior to Ji Feng's, while Parker's 20 points and 9 blocks The assists are enough to rival Kobe's 23 points and 5 rebounds.

This game undoubtedly belongs to JK and DP.

After a 5-minute break, it's the most critical fourth quarter, and the focus of the entire game is here. Who can have the last laugh in this game depends on the last 12 minutes.

Ji Feng was on the court from the beginning. He would not rest in this game. The Lakers chose to let Kobe and Gasol take a two-minute rest. Radmanovic, Walton and Farmar came on the bench.

The Spurs are finally willing to replace old Duncan and Bowen and replace them with Udoka and Bonner. Duncan and Bowen have only rested for 2 minutes so far. They will probably have to wait for two or three days after this game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the number of fans watching the live broadcast on Tencent Sports immediately exceeded 20 million. This was the highest number of viewers this month. Watching this game has become a reserved item for countless families on the New Year's Day.

People in Asian countries who are on the Spring Festival holiday have also chosen to watch this game as a family fun event. Asian players are shining in the NBA, and Asian people are naturally paying attention.

The fourth quarter begins!

Accompanied by the sound of Hot Bar waving his little hand to cheer Ji Feng, the Lakers fired a sideline ball!

The Spurs decisively set up a defensive iron barrel formation as soon as they came up. In order to contain the Lakers' strong inside attack, that is, Ji Feng's low-post attack, they played a 2-3 zone defense. Popovich is obviously the best in the league. One of the coaches of zone defense, he just doesn't want Ji Feng to continue wreaking havoc in the low post, and would rather you attack with the ball.

As soon as Ji Feng came up, he collided hard with Uduka near the midline. The referee blew the whistle and it was a defensive foul!

It can be seen that the defensive intensity of the two teams has increased to the level of the playoffs at this time. The game has reached this level, and neither side is naturally willing to lose!

However, due to the strong defensive intensity, no team scored within one minute. Even Ji Feng was blocked for two consecutive breakthroughs. The zone defense was not so easy to break, and the ball passed out was not able to be broken. The same goes for the shot, and vice versa. Parker is also stuck like brown sugar, and the space for his shot is very small. He can only make the sound of iron if he reluctantly takes the shot.

At this time, the strength and personnel configuration of the two teams are almost the same. It is simply too difficult to score goals under high-pressure defense at this time.

They played like this for 3 and a half minutes, and the two teams played an astonishing 2-2. Both sides hit 3 irons angrily, and the point difference did not change. At this time, the Lakers called a timeout and replaced all their main players, and the Spurs did the same.

The decisive battle is coming!

However, although the return of the main players has improved the scoring efficiency of the two teams, for example, when Ji Feng broke into the paint and was double-teamed this time, Kobe Bryant was able to score a three-pointer, and next door Parker was able to counterattack behind Duncan. color.

However, it does not change the entanglement between the two teams!

90-92, 92-92, 94-92, 96-92, 96-96…

The scores of the two teams continued to rise alternately until there was 1 minute left in the game. The Lakers relied on Kobe to slip through the baseline and then lay up, finally widening the point difference to 4 points again!

At this time, Popovich called a timeout. After the timeout, the Spurs served from the sideline, and Duncan screened Parker from the outside. However, just when the Lakers focused all their attention on these two people, Finley came out from the weak side. !

Duncan passed the ball and Ji Feng tried to make up the defense but it was too late!

Finley caught the ball and hit the ball hard, but Bynum, who was not able to defend in time, slapped Finley on the arm!

"Beep!"

"2+1!"

Finley successfully scored 3 points at the critical moment!

There were only 40 seconds left, and the Lakers were only leading by 1 point. At this time, all the fans' hearts were in their throats!

The Lakers called a timeout!

"COME ON!~" After landing, Finley looked up to the sky and roared!

Duncan's head-touching killing spree reappears!

"As expected of Finley, this is the role of a veteran. He will never be lenient at critical moments. One minute is given every 40 seconds. There is still time to play in this game!" Yu Jia said.

The Lakers paused and deployed their tactics. Gasol served from the sideline. After Ji Feng received the ball, it took 10 seconds to start the attack. The breakthrough was met by three Spurs who resolutely double-teamed. Ji Feng passed the ball to Bynum who was open under the basket!

"Bynum caught the ball and was about to dunk! Oh no! Duncan! Duncan slapped the ball and blocked Bynum's dunk! ~WTF!"

Just when everyone was waiting for Bynum to dunk, Duncan blocked the ball. Then two or three strong men fought for it, but because they did not touch the basket, a 24-second false exception was made. With 16 seconds left, the Spurs had the ball. , the suspense suddenly rises!

The Spurs called a timeout!

"What a twist. Originally, Ji Feng's ball was very beautiful. Bynum was basically open. He put the ball in and led by 3 points. At least he wouldn't lose in regular time. Now, I had to dunk, but Duncan Damn it, Duncan is so good, his timing is so good, the Lakers only lead by 1 point, 16 seconds, there is plenty of time, anything can happen." Director Zhang said regretfully.
