Chapter 1267 Gasol’s Leadership Moment (Part 1)

The main force clocked in in the third quarter, with a 30-point advantage. The Lakers defeated the Jazz at home and got a good start in the playoffs, leading the series 1-0.

After the game, the Jazz players left the court directly. The two sides would not shake hands before the end of the round. This is also an unspoken rule of the NBA. Everyone is the enemy until the end of the series. Of course, with such a disastrous defeat, the Jazz players naturally had no intention of doing so. After doing this, they still have a lot of work to do if they still want to advance.

However, the Lakers who won the game did not have much happy expressions. Even the fans were very calm. After all, in their hearts, this victory was natural.

The Lakers also blossomed in this game. The JK combination was as strong as ever. Ji Feng scored 21 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in 24 minutes of playing. He made no mistakes and his shooting rate reached 65%. His efficiency was still unbeatable. Kobe is still the anchor of the Lakers, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in 30 minutes of play.

JK scored 45 points in the first game, which is the most points scored by any outside combination that has played. People can't help but sigh that even in the playoffs, JK, these two high-power scoring machines, still have no intention of stopping.

However, Bynum scored the highest score for the Lakers in this game. Millsap's first start in the playoffs was obviously not so good. Bynum looked like a little shark today, playing 33 games in the game. Minutes, he only took 14 shots and hit 12 goals. Including free throws, he scored 30 points and 13 rebounds. 30 points was also Bynum's highest score in the playoffs.

Gasol scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. Although his statistics were average, he served as the team's response point more often, sending out 5 assists and 2 blocks.

The four starters combined to score 89 points. Their offensive firepower was the best in the league. After the game, a reporter from Utah said sourly that it was a foul to have these four players on the same team.

But other than that, Loch Ness can't say anything. After all, almost everyone was mocking the Lakers when they traded Odom for Quarterback, but the facts proved everything.

The Lakers' bench also performed well. Ariza scored 8 points and 6 rebounds, and Farmar also scored 7 points. With such crazy scoring by the main force, they can still bear some of the firepower.

Compared to the Lakers, the Jazz are Deron's team alone. He played 38 minutes, made 13 of 26 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 34 points and gave away the most games in the game. 14 assists, this performance is not bad, there are no black spots except three-pointers, but it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, and the Jazz gave him too little support.

The first to bear the brunt is the inside. Boozer is still out of shape and only scored 13 points in the game. Millsap made 6 of 8 shots and scored 15 points with free throws and 8 rebounds. This has reached his season average, but This is the biggest problem. When Boozer is not good, 15 points does not solve any problem at all.

As for the third position, I won’t mention it. Kirilenko scored 4 points and Korver scored 6 points, a total of 10 points. This level was not even mentioned in the post-game report...

Therefore, this game can be said to be the Lakers beating the Jazz.

After this game, the call for the Lakers to sweep became even stronger. However, that night, Ji Feng and Kobe were still photographed by reporters staying in the training hall until one o'clock in the morning. Their self-discipline also made many fans lament, how could the Lakers not win? Woolen cloth.

At the end of tonight's game, all the results of the first game of the first round of the playoffs were released, and all the playoff teams showed their faces.

In addition to the Lakers tonight, the other game in the Western Conference is the Nuggets playing the Hornets. This game was considered to be a very suspenseful game before the game, but the result was completely different. The Nuggets won 113-83 at home. It was easy to get the first win.

Facts have proved that the Nuggets' 3-1 victory over the Hornets this season was not in vain. The Nuggets controlled the rhythm on the court from the beginning of this game.

Billups is worthy of being a master of rhythm. Not only did he not fall at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Paul, but he used his experience to take Paul away...

Billups was undoubtedly the MVP of the game. He made 10 of 15 shots, especially 8 of 9 three-pointers. He set a personal record with 8 three-pointers in a single game, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 36 points. , with 9 assists and 3 steals, the former FMVP is still outstanding.

He let Anthony play for 20 minutes, scored 12 points and won the game.

Although Paul scored 21 points and 11 assists, he was still slightly inferior to Billups. The Hornets once again exposed the problem of few scoring points and too few rotations. Apart from Paul, only West and Peja scored in double figures. , but only 12 and 13 points.

As for the two peak seasons in the Eastern Conference, I don’t care. The two high-ranking teams, the Hawks and the Magic, easily won at home with a 20-point advantage. Wade’s recovery will probably have to wait for the arrival of Brothers Basketball. .

However, his brother was having a good time at the moment. On April 21, the playoffs continued, and the Cavaliers appeared again, still invincible. The Pistons still did not last until the end of the third quarter and lost again. The Cavaliers were at home. Winning two consecutive victories and becoming the first team to go 2-0, James once again scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, becoming the most shining star in the playoffs so far.

The Celtics defeated the Bulls at home and tied the score at 1-1. Ji Feng had a hunch that this series would be the most difficult one again.

In the West, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks at home and the score was also 1-1. The Spurs' resilience is still one of the best. The Rockets, which Chinese fans are most concerned about, were defeated by the Trail Blazers in the away game, and the score also became 1-1. The reason for the defeat of this game was all on Dayao. Dayao only scored 7 points in the game. Sure enough, the touch thing is conserved.

…

The next day, April 22, the Lakers played again and continued to face the Jazz at home!

There were no changes in the starting lineups of both sides in this game, but the Jazz had a back-and-forth game with the Lakers in the first quarter, because Boozer finally recovered today!

"Boozer opened the pick-and-roll, and Deron scored suddenly! Boozer and Ibrahimovic immediately took the ball and scored. This is the fourth mid-range shot that Boozer has hit in this quarter. He is in good shape!" Yu Jia said.

At 7 minutes and 54 seconds of the first quarter, Boozer tied the score at 27 with a mid-range shot. Boozer had already scored 8 points in the first quarter and was the biggest contributor to maintaining the score.

"Boozer was obviously more focused in this game, and he also played smarter. He was restricted by Gasol in the last game, so this time he simply moved further to shoot." Director Zhang said, this is a It's a bit of a gamble, but it looks pretty good right now.

But even so, the Jazz still didn't take any advantage, because the Lakers played equally well.

The one showing off today is also No. 4, Pau Gasol!
