Chapter 1944 The Counterattack Failed, the Familiar 0-2

On the Clippers bench, when he saw Paul and Griffin pick-and-roll, Ji Feng bypassed the defense to follow Paul. Paul broke into the paint and immediately encountered a brutal double-team. The camera recorded this "tragic" scene. Ji Feng, right On the side defense, Kobe is on the left who is always ready to recover to help defend, Gasol is lifted up, Bynum blocks in front of DeAndre Jordan, and behind Ji Feng is Artest who is always ready to recover...

To be honest, Paul is really top-notch. His ability to break through, his ability to hit a small target, and his ability to make big plays. He can be ranked among the best in history. In games, Paul often relies on his breakthrough ability, which is more than ten or two times higher than him. The ten centimeter big man completes the goal, and although the breakthrough pass is not as cool as Nash, the success rate is not bad. At least in this era, he is undoubtedly the number one point guard.

But look at all the people standing in front of him!

Defensive Player of the Year for four years, first defense for four years, the strongest perimeter defender in history, Ji Feng, first defense for nine years, single defense ability, and excellent assist defense ability, Kobe Bryant, the first to win the Defensive Player of the Year At the third position, Artest, a defender on the All-Defensive Team for many years, and two big men over 210 centimeters tall, Bynum, the best center in the Western Conference, and Garfield, who are highly praised for their frame protection ability and assist defense ability. Sol.

Paul couldn't force a breakthrough at all. Ji Feng followed very closely. He was less than half a body tall, with Kobe beside him and two big men in front of him. Although he wanted to prove that he was awesome, his reason told him that he couldn't force a breakthrough. Basket will only have one result, then make a hot pot!

So he could only use his dynamic vision to forcefully lock Butler on the left, and then made a thrilling pass.

Butler barely caught the ball. He had no advantage against Artest in isolation. He could only break through and shoot a pull-up jumper, and then hit the iron!

Ji Feng, who had just followed Paul to the baseline, had quick eyes and quick hands and picked off the rebound above Paul's head. The Lakers quickly launched a counterattack. Ji Feng hit the ground and Kobe Bryant made a layup.

Flawless, the whole process took less than 9 seconds, and the Lakers recovered two points!

This scene made Negron suddenly look older...

There is no way for the Lakers to survive!

For two consecutive rounds, the Lakers tied the score in one minute at the beginning of the third quarter. Then Ji Feng made an unreasonable pull-up three-pointer to overtake the score. Paul, who was 20 centimeters lower than Ji Feng, could only look at Ji Feng. Take action.

"It's too fast. The Lakers are definitely the fastest and most efficient team in the league. The Clippers have just missed two rounds, and the Lakers immediately went 7-0. It's so exciting!" O'Neal said, patting the table. .

Negro called a timeout, and after the timeout he replaced Foye. Butler looked helpless. He only scored 9 points in the first game, and his efficiency was an embarrassing 3-for-11 shooting, which was compared to his regular season average of 15.0 points per game. The level is seriously inconsistent. He is really too limited in this round.

But it’s not really his fault. He is no longer in his prime. His age means he can only rely on experience to deal with defenders. He has lost his speed and flexibility, and shooting is his original weakness. Facing a No. 3 like the Lakers It is really difficult to be a team with almost no weaknesses.

Not only Butler, but other teams in the league will feel reluctant to play the third position when faced with the Lakers' configuration.

Ji Feng, Artest, Barnes, Kapono, whoever you meet doesn’t say a word: Gan!

Foye felt the same way, but he felt good tonight. The task Negro gave him was to ambush outside the three-point line. As soon as he caught the ball, he would definitely throw it if he had the opportunity. In the first half, he was 4 of 6. The three-pointer helped the Clippers stay ahead.

However, at the beginning of the second half, his touch dropped as expected, and he failed to score the first two shots. The main reason is that Artest is different from Ji Feng. He prefers to be physical. Foye was pushed by him unnecessarily. He had to put his physical fitness and strength into confrontation with Artest, and his shots would inevitably be deformed.

This also allowed the Lakers to seize the opportunity to expand the score to 10 points.

Then Ji Feng sneaked into the basket and scored. Jordan was teased by Ji Feng. Then Kobe forced a foul and made two free throws, forcing the Clippers to timeout.

However, after the timeout, Gasol scored again with a hook, and Kobe made two consecutive three-pointers, rewriting the score in this quarter to 29-10.

At the end of the quarter, the Clippers Griffin scored a jumper, Foye finally scored a three-pointer, and Mo also scored a goal. The Clippers did not let the score be completely opened in this quarter.

"But it's almost the same. In this quarter, the season peak was 16 points, Kobe was 10 points, Gasol was 6 points, the Lakers played a wave of 38-23, won 15 points in a single quarter, and entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead. Four quarters, this is the rhythm the Lakers are familiar with," Barkley said during the quarter.

"We need you to stand up and fight back. Forget about those tactics, we need individuals to stand up!" At this time, Negro already knew that he couldn't win with tactics. He could only rely on the individual abilities of the Clippers players.

Forcing an academic coach to be like this shows how much pressure the Lakers put on him. No wonder many people joked that if he hits Negro at the airport, the hair on his head will be pulled out.

"Fuck it, brothers!" Paul took the lead and lost anyway, so he decided to give it a try.

Paul kicked off the fourth quarter with a forced layup. Although the free throws were inaccurate and he made 1 of 2 free throws, this showed Paul's determination.

The final counterattack is coming!

Griffin made a strong back-up play in the paint and scored with an unreliable shot. Then Jordan maliciously fouled Bynum in the paint. The two had a quarrel on the baseline and almost came to blows, but Ji Feng took action and pulled Bynum away. Namu was able to prevent further escalation of the conflict.

"Calm down! They want to muddy the water!" Ji Feng pressed Bynum's arm. To be honest, Jordan's foul was rubbish, but at this time, we need to calm down. This is the Clippers' last resort.

Fouls on both sides.

Bynum was replaced after completing the free throw, and the Clippers took the opportunity to play a wave of 6-0 to catch up with the score.

At the critical moment, Ji Feng stood up!

Ji Feng has always been a team player before. Although he scored 30 points in three and a half quarters, he also scored 10 assists and 7 rebounds.

And at this moment, Ji Feng showed off his superstar abilities!

Butler changed defense and wanted to foul him, but Ji Feng directly deceived the jumper and caused Butler to commit a three-point foul. He made all three free throws to help the Lakers stabilize the situation!

Afterwards, Griffin stole the ball and the latter lost his cool and fouled Ji Feng again. Ji Feng made two free throws and scored 5 points in a row!

Ji Feng was really incomprehensible at the free throw line. This made the Clippers avoid fouls and did not dare to foul. However, this did not stop Ji Feng's heroic performance. After running without the ball, Ji Feng hit a three-pointer from the corner.

TNT TV station, Barkley praised: "Ji Feng is indeed the best team leader I have ever seen. When his teammates lost their cool, Ji Feng was the first to step forward and stop the 300-pound strong man, and then he used his own actions Revenge for his teammates, scoring 8 points in a row, the score returned to double digits again, with 4 and a half minutes left, the Clippers had few chances. "

It's not that the Cavaliers are running out, but they are almost gone, because after Barkley finished speaking, Ji Feng once again assisted Kobe Bryant to hit a 3-pointer, and the point difference came to 16 points.

At the last moment, the Clippers failed to make a comeback, and the Lakers defeated the Clippers 112-99, 13 points!

Familiar 2-0, the Lakers once again take the absolute initiative!
