Chapter 1380 Strength Gap, Crush and Win

At the end of the brutal and brutal second quarter, the two sides scored an ultra-low score of 12-15 in a single quarter, which was also the lowest quarter score in the finals. The two teams only scored 27 points combined, which is not as good as usual. Festival to get more points.

As for the process, there is really nothing to say. Vicious fouls, fierce fights, countless petty actions and trash talk became the mainstream of the arena. Almost all of the 10 people on the two teams were injured, such as the blood on Ji Feng's arm. , Lewis almost opened eyebrows to prove the story of what happened on the field.

In short, this is a game with a very low shooting rate, too many fouls, and more defense than offense. If you block the signs of the two teams, you will think that you are back in the 2005 Spurs vs. Pistons. At that time, almost every quarter was two games. The team can play like this, but in fact, in the eyes of professional people, this game is also very exciting. After all, it is not everywhere to see such a high-level defensive battle.

Of course, what's different from 2005 is the ratings. Even though the two teams are playing like this, the ratings are still rising. ESPN and TNT's live broadcast ratings have repeatedly hit new highs, and tonight they surpassed the baseball that was going on at the same time. The key battle of the league, and most of these fans were attracted by Ji Feng's terrifying single-quarter triple-double. Everyone wanted to know how Ji Feng could finally contribute when he got a triple-double in the first quarter. Such gorgeous data.

However, the fans who were looking forward to it were disappointed. This season, Ji Feng devoted almost all his energy to the defense. He only scored 3 points and sent 2 assists in a single quarter, but he also picked up 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. and 2 steals.

However, if you look at it comprehensively, the data of 13 points, 12 assists, 16 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 steals in the half is also the only one in the league.

So what is actually more disappointing is the Magic fans and players. The halftime whistle sounded, and the Magicians walked back to the locker room with their heads lowered. Howard even directly refused the interview request of the midfield reporter. You must know that Howard is his favorite. The guy who is in the limelight has never been absent from interviews before, and sometimes even plays tricks in front of the camera when the team is behind. Tonight made an exception, which shows how much it hit him in this half.

Of course, I can fully understand Howard's mood. He made 2 of 5 shots in the half, and only scored 6 points with free throws. He only had 7 rebounds. It was less than half of Ji Feng, and he only blocked 2 blocks, which was the same as Ji Feng. , there are 3 fouls and 4 mistakes, which is more than a thousand miles away from his pre-match prediction, more than just a slap in the face. The field is behind by as many as 22 points, and it is strange to be in a good mood.

What makes them even more desperate is the strength of the Lakers. In the first quarter, the two sides attacked, and the Lakers easily won them. In the second quarter, the Magic fought desperately to defend. Howard knelt down and grabbed the ball regardless of his height and weight. Silian pulled up his pants and pulled out his crotch, but they still lost 3 points, which was really uncomfortable.

So it's no wonder that Lakers fans shouted: "Wow, it's really stable this time."

The Lakers fans have a very stable mentality. Although they have the home court and Howard on the opposite side, after watching the entire halftime, the magic tricks have been used up, and they have not found any turning points. It is really hard to think of how they will succeed.

Unless the Lakers suddenly wave.

But could the Lakers make such a low-level mistake in the finals?

Of course not. Their head coach is a Zen master. Big Phil has played more finals than everyone on the other side combined and multiplied by 2. Naturally, he knows what to do when he leads by a big score.

"Continue to play a wave of attacks in the third quarter and destroy them!" Once the Zen master returned to the locker room, he did not relax or show any courtesy or praise. He simply asked the players to strengthen their offense in the second half, and then went to destroy the opponent's psychological defense.

This is the finals. It is impossible to show any sympathy to the opponent. There is no such thing as 'stay on the line, and see each other in the future'. To seize the opportunity here is to fight to the death and give the opponent a shred of hope. No, there can be no room left.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers immediately launched their first wave of offense. JK dominated the offense. Ji Feng held the ball at the top of the arc. Kobe Bryant caught the ball and forced a breakthrough after the pick-and-roll. Courtney Lee couldn't defend well, and Howard could only Pulled out to block the eye-catching, but Kobe pulled a horizontal lever, which directly caused the Howard thug to foul!

"Howard fouled the fourth time, which really made things worse," Barkley said.

Originally, Howard should go down to rest, but Van Gundy couldn't replace him at this time. Without Howard to chase points, there is almost no hope, so he can only continue to take risks and let Howard stay on the court.

However, Howard's power on the court is not as good as before. Kobe Bryant made two strong surprises in a row, and Howard did not dare to try his best to defend, for fear that he would foul again.

But it is impossible to stop Kobe if you don't defend hard. Kobe made two strong bursts, and one draw and a graceful shot allowed the Lakers to continue to expand the score advantage.

But fortunately, the Magic opened outside, and Alston and Lewis made 3-pointers successively, so that the Magic did not rout at the beginning of the third quarter.

But the three-pointer can't last for a whole quarter. When the Magic's outside hit rate began to drop in the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers' offensive came again!

This time, it was Ji Feng, who first went it alone and scored a three-pointer in front of Turkoglu. Then he received Fisher's assists in a row and hit Turkoglu with his back. One of them Using the feint of the footsteps to hit the layup is simply picturesque, which directly silenced the scene.

After scoring 8 points in a row, Ji Feng also scored 20+ points in this game, running for 30 points.

With the last minute Gasol facing Lewis's turn and hitting the board 2+1, the Lakers scored a 10-point offensive in this section and took a 30-point lead with 92-62.

"There's no suspense! It's over early!"

"It's 30 minutes, it's going to turn me upside down and wash my hair."

Lakers fans are very happy and have begun to celebrate the victory early.

And Howard looked at the scoreboard, his face was already green, and his face was full of despair. He didn't know how to play in the end. At this moment, he had no confidence at all.

And the helpers around him are the same. Here is another flaw of the Magic. They don't have a tough guy, including the core. They don't have the kind of person who can stand up and lead the team when they are behind by a big score, so they face each other. Really powerless about this situation.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic wanted to struggle a bit, but the Lakers didn't give the bench a chance. Ariza gave Turkoglu a humiliating steal, and then Farmar also scored a 3-pointer.

The Magic's offensive and defensive ends completely collapsed. Howard took the initiative to apply for 2 consecutive fouls, 6 fouls were sent off, and Van Gundy reluctantly announced GG.

Since then, the two sides have slowly replaced the bench, and the Lakers, who have a big lead, finally won another game with a 110-77 victory over the Cavaliers. The huge advantage of 33 points also created the Lakers finals winning record.
