Chapter 1337 The Pressure Is on the Lakers Side

Bang!

Kobe's shot was rewarded with a strike. Kobe cursed hard and walked to the bench.

And Ji Feng's face was also a little solemn. They played extremely poorly in this half of the quarter. They felt cold and had no rhythm. The Nuggets completely brought them to their rhythm. Being behind made them play more and more anxiously. The more anxious they were, the more anxious they were. It affects the feel even more.

In this half of the quarter, Ji Feng scored 2 points on 1 of 3 shots. Kobe even made 0 of 3 shots and only relied on free throws to score an embarrassing 1 point. As for the Twin Towers, let alone the high-speed and fast-paced play. It was extremely uncomfortable. Bynum didn't take any shots and only committed one foul. He was running all over the place. This is a thankless thing for a big center. Bynum was already out of breath. After all, here It's the Denver Plateau. For visiting teams like them, they have to accept the test of hypoxia.

Gasol scored 4 points, which is the most normal performance among the Lakers' four tigers. Fisher, on the other hand, scored 5 points on 2-for-2 shooting in the chaos. Otherwise, the Lakers would probably be in the dilemma of scoring no more than 10 points in half a quarter.

But even so, this is the worst start for the Lakers in the playoffs. Even when they lost to the Rockets, they had never played so badly!

The Nuggets next door have a party atmosphere!

After all, it took only half a quarter to lead the Lakers by 13 points. This is definitely a unique experience for the Nuggets. When did the Nuggets, who had been pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly in these two games, play so smoothly.

Scored 25 points in half a quarter, with a shooting percentage of over 70%. If they continue at this pace, the Nuggets can score more than 50 points in a single quarter, which will break the record for points scored in a single quarter in the playoffs this season.

This wild scoring method made the Nuggets' own players a little uncomfortable. Anthony opened his mouth wide and celebrated with JR on the bench, while Billups looked at the big screen again and again even after returning to the bench. It seemed that Check whether the score is like this.

The voices of the fans at the scene were louder and louder. This was the rhythm to get the first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

"The Lakers were in trouble at the beginning! Their rhythm was very bad, and Ji Feng and Kobe had no touch, which allowed the Nuggets to easily get a double-digit lead." Smith said.

"I have to praise the Nuggets. They have obviously changed their tactics. They know that continuing to play strictly is no match for the Lakers, so they increased the speed in the opening. Billups once again showed the ability of the former FMVP, his rhythm The change was very good. 4 assists and 6 points were the biggest contributors to the Nuggets' lead. Anthony was also good. He made the goals he should score and defended Ji Feng well. It was obvious that he was a good player. It took a lot of effort," Barkley said. This was the first time he praised Anthony. Melo was really different after being inspired by James.

And his vision is also very vicious. He knows that it's not that the Lakers didn't play well, but that the Nuggets played too well. Their new tactics worked. The Lakers were beaten first without preparation, and many people were surprised. If you ask what the use of a good tactic is, this half of the game can give you the answer.

As for how the next game will develop, it depends on the head coaches of the two teams.

Zen Master naturally took the lead in making changes. He was not satisfied with the team's performance in this half of the game, but he also understood that the problem was not with the players themselves. He did not even expect that the Nuggets suddenly played so fast because Billups = Positional warfare is almost the consensus of other teams in the league. I didn't expect that the Nuggets would go the opposite way despite working so hard. This move really needs to be praised.

But the Zen master did not give up, he chose the simplest solution!

"Hey hey hey! Cheer up! They want to wear us down here. They want to defeat us with offense! They seem to have forgotten! We are the best offensive team in the league!"

"Since they want to fight, then we will accompany them to the end!"

"Farmar, come on, Radmanovic, you replace Bynum, give the ball to Ji Feng!"

"Ji Feng, I just have one request, play as fast as you can! Play as fast as you can, strengthen the offense, don't worry about Anthony, just double attack Billups!" The Zen master made his own arrangement.

At the end of the timeout, Farmar and Radmanovic took over, lowering their height and increasing their speed. It was already very obvious that the Lakers were going to play against each other.

The Nuggets also made adjustments. Nene, who has better athletic ability, replaced veterans Martin and Anderson to form a twin tower inside. At the second position, JR was appointed as the nerve knife. In the last game, JR scored 18 points, which was considered the biggest discovery. This game He will also take on greater responsibilities, while everyone else remains the same.

The game continues!

Anthony was holding the ball to attack. At this time, Anthony felt elated. It could be seen from his expression, but he did not use trash talk to stimulate Ji Feng, because he knew that Ji Feng was prepared to explode after being stimulated by trash talk, so In order to win, Anthony decided to endure it and become a slave!

Holding the ball, getting rid of it, shoulder collision, Anthony made a fadeaway jumper after contact!

The score difference comes to 15 points!

But Anthony thought wrong. Ji Feng was focused on the game at the moment and had no energy to care about Anthony's thoughts. How to recover the score was the most critical.

Ji Feng also made his own efforts. He first singled out Anthony in return, then assisted Farmar to score the Lakers' second three-pointer of the game. He also stole JR's point ball and succeeded in the sky.

After a wave of 7-0, the Lakers once narrowed the point difference to 8 points.

But the Nuggets' offense was still sharp. Billups had his brightest moment in the Western Conference Finals. He made two consecutive three-pointers on the offensive end and caused a foul on Ji Feng's beater.

A wave of 8 points at the last minute stabilized the situation.

40-25, the Nuggets took a 15-point lead in the first quarter!

And this advantage was further expanded by the Nuggets. Although the Lakers opened up their posture to fight against each other, the Nuggets tonight really felt great, a bit like the Lakers in the first game, everyone played and everyone scored.

In the second quarter, JR broke through Kobe and scored 2+1. Then Kobe retaliated with a three-pointer, but JR immediately responded with another three-pointer.

After Ji Feng succeeded in singles, Anthony actually assisted. His sudden score allowed Anderson to score two points for the first time tonight. With a violent slam, the Nuggets' advantage reached 18 points.

They maintained this score until the end of the second quarter, 68-50. The Nuggets led by 18 points at halftime and entered the second half!

"The Lakers are in big trouble! Now all the pressure is on the Lakers' side!" Yu Jia said seriously. As a Ji Feng fan, he certainly didn't want the Lakers to lose like this, but there was no way, such a big fall behind. It's really disappointing.

This is the first time in the playoffs that the Lakers have trailed so much at halftime.
