Chapter 1330 The So-Called Two Fists Are Difficult to Beat with Four Hands
8-0 in 2 minutes!
Ji Feng used 3 assists at the beginning of the second quarter to lead the Lakers into a big rhythm. Originally trailing by 2 points, they were beaten to a 6-point lead.
Before the bench was warmed up, coach George Karl jumped up and called a timeout!
"Let's see how Ji Feng regains his form. If we keep playing like this, the Lakers will probably lose. Ji Feng needs to find his strength!"
The words that the ESPN commentator said at the end of the first quarter were still in my ears, but just a few minutes later, he was mercilessly slapped in the face by Ji Feng.
Who said that if you don't score, you will lose? Does your mother know that you don't give face to assist players?
"Ahem! Well, Ji Feng passed the ball very beautifully, but the return of the Lakers players, especially Kobe Bryant's touch, is the main reason for this wave of climax." The ESPN commentator tried to save his dignity.
But after the timeout, he was slapped in the face again in the first round!
After the timeout, the Nuggets replaced all their main players, and the Nuggets arranged Anthony's singles tactics during the timeout. The explosive touch in the first quarter made Anthony burst with confidence.
Melo also repaid the coach's trust, and his mid-range shot after the triple threat helped the Nuggets break their scoring drought.
The Lakers were not in a hurry, and the ball was still in Ji Feng's hands. Ji Feng dribbled to the frontcourt and raised three fingers and shouted: "No. 3! No. 3!"
Fans who are familiar with Lakers games and interested in tactics must know very well that Ji Feng dribbles the ball and plays the No. 3 tactic, which is Ji Feng's singles tactic at the top of the key or on the wing.
Many fans who saw this scene sat up straight, ready to enjoy Ji Feng's performance.
1-4 opened up, the Lakers' twin towers opened up space and were ready to grab rebounds. Kobe was on the left and Fisher was waiting on the right to respond, while the Nuggets' twin towers didn't dare to stay too far away, especially the defensive champions. Anderson is always ready to help defend and block shots inside.
Ji Feng did not play singles this time, but asked Bynum to pick and roll. The moment of the pick and roll, Anthony was blocked. Seeing that Ji Feng was about to make a layup, "Birdman" Anderson came over to defend.
"Mine!" Anderson stepped on the pace, his heart was full of fire. According to this trend, he had great confidence to complete the block. Don't ask him how he knew, the shot-blocking master would have a slight sense before taking off every time. , and this time Anderson felt great!
However, when Ji Feng took three steps and jumped up, Anderson slapped him away. After landing, Anderson, who looked confused, heard the sound of the basketball falling into the bag.
"3 points~!!! FOR Derek~! Fisher!" came the DJ's voice.
"What's going on?" Anderson hurriedly looked at the big screen.
On the big screen, Ji Feng, who broke into the paint, swayed to attract the defense, flicked the ball behind his head, and then completed a deceptive false blue with his bare hands. In the bottom corner, Fisher caught the ball and shot directly!
Uh-huh!
Three more points!
"Ji Feng assisted again, um, Fisher scored, three points, the Lakers' lead further expanded..." ESPN's commentator waited for 5 seconds before finally speaking.
It’s really embarrassing, how could it be so accurate!
This is of course due to Ji Feng's continuous feeding of the ball, and the original shooting rate of 40% was low, and it is natural that it has rebounded now.
Of course, as the Denver media said, it is impossible to maintain a 100% shooting rate all the time, but the peak season goal has been achieved, and the Lakers' group of outside shooters has opened up, which puts more pressure on the Nuggets' defense, and his There will be more room for performance!
It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. Let's see if Anthony can withstand the power of the Lakers artillery group!
In the next round, the Nuggets' tactics became simpler in order to regain the score. Seeing Anthony and JR being watched, Billups went in with a pick-and-roll.
Unexpectedly, Ji Feng had been waiting for a long time. When Billups broke through, he followed him directly. When he layup, he made a volleyball-style block and hit the ball out of the baseline!
brutal!
How cruel!
This ball made the Nuggets, who were once again sending baseline kicks, afraid to break through. JR tried a three-pointer from the outside and came back, and Ji Feng collected another rebound.
Launch a counterattack directly!
Ji Feng dribbles the ball directly to the free throw line in the frontcourt, pushes away the defense, and then passes the ball directly behind his back with eyes in the back of his head!
At this time, Kobe arrived just in time. With one move, he didn't ask for a three-pointer, but he got two points!
The point difference between the two teams was quickly expanded to 10 points!
Through these attacks, Kobe's shooting percentage rebounded directly to close to 50%, and his score reached 11 points!
And Ji Feng was even more terrifying. Before he knew it, although Ji Feng's score was still at 5 points, his assists increased to 8 and his rebounds also increased to 7. If he continues to play like this, Ji Feng's assists and rebounds would It is possible to score in double figures earlier than the score!
The Nuggets were a little confused by the Lakers' wave of three-pointers. They obviously didn't expect that the Lakers, who scored a three-pointer in the first quarter, would be so explosive in the second quarter.
Fortunately, Anthony felt great tonight. After the second quarter, he still scored 8 points under Ji Feng's tight defense. He scored a game-high 24 points and 7 rebounds in the first half.
This also allowed him to be far ahead of Ji Feng in scoring. Ji Feng's score just reached 10 points at halftime. In the last 2 minutes, when Kobe was resting, Ji Feng continued the Lakers' scoring momentum with a 2-pointer and a 3-pointer.
However, Ji Feng's performance is still amazing. In addition to scoring, Ji Feng Bancang sent out 10 assists and grabbed 8 rebounds, almost achieving a half-time triple-double. Even so, Ji Feng is almost certain to get another triple-double in this game. .
More importantly, under the leadership of Ji Feng, four Lakers players scored in double figures at halftime, Kobe Bryant with 13 points, Gasol with 10 points, and Bynum with 11 points. This also allowed the Lakers to score in double figures at halftime. Instead, we entered the second half with an 8-point lead at 58-50!
As for the Nuggets, this was Anthony's performance alone. Apart from him, only Billups scored 13 points and 4 assists. Everyone else scored in miserable single digits, especially the underappreciated insiders tonight. Martin and Anderson scored 6 points together, almost spending 24 minutes in contact and return running, which was really a bit miserable.
After the start of the second half, the situation remained unchanged. Anthony was in really good condition tonight, and his scores kept rising. At the end of the third quarter, he finally scored over 30 points.
The Lakers still have Ji Feng's court-control performance, everyone can score, and they are both inside and outside, making the Nuggets hard to guard against.
Anthony gradually felt that he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists, and his scoring seemed a bit weak. Although it boosted his morale and he played very well, he just couldn't prevent the Lakers' blossoming performance.
At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers were 80-63, already trailing by 17 points.
And Ji Feng's assists can no longer be hidden. He had 15 assists in three quarters and 12 rebounds. He also scored 15 points and scored a triple-double in three quarters!
