Chapter 1234 The house leaks and it rains continuously
Seeing Ji Feng's performance, the expressions of the Lakers fans finally relaxed a little. Although the 18-point difference was still exaggerated, the situation finally tilted to the Lakers' side. Although it was really only a little bit, the fans, that is. He is so cute, and he will continue to cheer for the team he supports even if he has a little bit of hope.
Take the handful of die-hard Lakers fans who are present at the scene. The first half is an absolute nightmare for them. Fans who can travel thousands of miles to watch the away game are naturally die-hard Lakers fans. They originally wanted to be here. They witnessed the Lakers break the best record in team history and win 71 games, which is second in league history. Unexpectedly, they witnessed what is called a counterattack by a little guy. Looking at the Lakers being bombed on the court, they thought for a moment that the two teams were wearing the wrong clothes. Of course, the crazy Kings fans around him reminded them again and again that this was not a dream.
Therefore, this small area became silent from the second quarter, and it was not until the third quarter that it slowly began to recover. Ji Feng finally started CRAAY, and they seemed to see a glimmer of hope for a reversal.
However, knowledgeable commentators are not too optimistic. For example, Director Zhang. Although the Lakers recovered 8 points, he kept lamenting the Kings' state tonight in the live broadcast room.
"I have to say, the Kings played really well tonight. Ji Feng was already like this. He scored three three-pointers in a row and had assists. However, they didn't panic at all and could maintain their own score. This is normal. At that time, the Lakers could recover 15 points if they played like this for 6 minutes, but now, they only recover 8 points."
Yes, this is what the commentators are worried about. The Lakers have indeed recovered, and their offense has improved a lot. Their scoring in half a quarter has almost caught up with their scoring in the second quarter. However, the Kings are still proactive and defensive. Despite the slack, points continued to be scored on the offensive end, especially the twin towers inside. Power forward Jason Thompson and center Spencer Hawes began to slowly find the feeling of scoring.
These two people are not well-known and are transparent in the NBA. Otherwise, they would not be able to join this Kings team. In the first half tonight, they only protected rebounds, picked and rolled, and played screens. However, the Lakers were trapped in fouls inside. , because they did not dare to make big moves, the two gradually began to score points through singles in the third quarter.
Spencer Hawes currently scored 6 points on 3-of-6 shooting, while Jason Thompson scored 4 points on 2-of-4 shooting.
Although the score is not high, it is not a good signal. Once the Kings open up inside, it will be even more difficult for the Lakers to come back.
Zen Master also understood this, so he made personnel adjustments. Radmanovic, who committed the second offense, replaced Bynum, who committed the third offense. The mission given to him by the Zen Master was one: try his best to contain the opponent's twin towers, and must not let the opponent Easily scored inside.
This is a good substitution. It can allow Bynum to rest while maintaining a healthy number of fouls when the decisive battle in the fourth quarter comes, so that he will not dare to take action in the end.
However, it turns out that no matter how awesome the tactics are, no matter who executes them, Radmanovic, who has been in poor form this season, obviously did not bring his brains tonight.
Here, the Lakers had just made a strong breakthrough from Ji Feng to attract the defender and pass the ball to Kobe. The latter took a step and made a half-volume basket to narrow the point difference to 16 points.
It was the King's turn to attack. Martin knew very well that he needed to play inside at this time, so he stretched out three fingers to signal the inside Hawes to play singles, with the purpose of targeting Radmanovic!
Radmanovic's defense was not good to begin with, and he was too anxious about this ball. After all, the team had just caught up to 16 points, so he took action as soon as Hawes completed his turn!
"Beep!" the referee whistled decisively!
Since the foul had already been committed, Hawes made two free throws.
"SHIT!" The Zen master yelled. He was originally going to let Radmanovic take the lead for at least 3 minutes, but he fouled again in less than 20 seconds. How can this be fun!
But that's not even more devastating.
After Hawes made two free throws, Ji Feng counterattacked with a fast break and cooperated with Kobe in a one-two. Ji Feng received the ball from the wing at a 45-degree angle and hit his fourth three-pointer of the quarter. His personal score in the single quarter came to 14 points. Fisher made another magical move at the critical moment to steal Martin's pass, forced a layup and caused a foul on Martin. He made two free throws and scored 5 points in a row to bring the point difference back to 13 points!
The situation for the Lakers is suddenly great!
"Defend, defend!" Ji Feng encouraged his teammates excitedly. As long as he defended this goal, 13 points would be a completely recoverable score!
However, what is devastating is that at this time, Martin made a strong breakthrough again, swayed Radmanovic in the paint, and successfully drew a foul!
Not only did he stand on the free throw line again, he also interrupted the Lakers' offensive momentum. Just look at the Kings coach's excited jump of 2 meters high and you will understand how critical this ball is. The most important thing is that Radmanovic committed 4 fouls. , which forced Bynum to come back early. If the game continues, Bynum will have no substitute in the fourth quarter. The most important thing is that Jackson has had enough.
However, Bynum has already committed three fouls at this moment. This is definitely a time bomb, and he doesn't know when it will be detonated.
Ji Feng accelerated the offensive pace on the court. Bynum, who had three fouls, will definitely be the key target of the Kings. Ji Feng needs to get the score back as much as possible before Bynum is completely cool!
Forced attack! Flying dunk! Three points! Assist!
Ji Feng led the team to successfully launch a 12-5 attack wave, and the point difference was finally narrowed to 10 points in the last 20 seconds of the third quarter!
With 21 points in a single quarter, Ji Feng had the best individual performance in a single quarter tonight!
"Ah! The Lakers are awesome! Ji Feng is awesome!"
"Invincible! Recovering 16 points in one quarter, invincible!"
"There's a chance! The suspense is still there! Let's stop smashing the TV!"
"Use 20 pounds of flesh on your body to seek a comeback, Lakers FIGHTING! Come on Ji Feng!~"
The fans were naturally rejoicing, the dead forum was revitalized, and it seemed that a reversal was just around the corner.
But the last 20 seconds gave the Lakers a blow!
On the Kings' last attack, Martin wanted to break through, but Kobe's defense was very tight. He had no choice but to call for a pick-and-roll. Hawes went to the line for a pick-and-roll. Naturally, Bynum had to follow up. Ji Feng moved inside, hoping to give the player a chance to break through repeatedly. Martin a little warm.
But at this time the referee whistle sounded again!
Ji Feng turned around and saw that the referee had whistled a foul on Bynum's moving screen!
"WHAT!" Bynum was very excited. He opened his arms helplessly and argued with the referee, but was waved away.
"Damn it, it's troublesome! The house leaks and it rains continuously." Ji Feng put his hands on his waist and shook his head.
"The referee called a foul, Bynum! It's Bynum again! Little Shark is really having a bad day today. How many times is this!" Yu Jia shook his head and said, then looked at the technical statistics table.
"Oh! The fifth! The fifth! This is Bynum's fifth foul! Five fouls in three quarters! This is trouble!" Yu Jia was a little confused, why were there only five.
When Bynum committed four fouls just now, because the Lakers were in a strong period of chasing points, many people didn't pay attention. So when they suddenly discovered that Bynum was one short of committing one foul, don't mention the feeling of surprise.
