Chapter 653 Coach, Give Me Unlimited Firepower!
"Pause pause!" Master Zen made a gesture. During this period of time, the Lakers had no sense of touch, but were continuously beaten by the Nuggets to counterattack. This situation must be called a timeout. go away.
As I said before, the Nuggets are the second-best team in the league in terms of offensive firepower, and their fast-break scoring is their housekeeping skill. Once the game goes well, they can play a wonderful wave, especially when their team scores. There are many hands, so in the game against the Nuggets, the most crucial factor for winning is to disrupt their rhythm. The Lakers did this in the first three games.
But this Nuggets finally found their own rhythm, they used sudden changes to make the Lakers play very poorly. The offense has also affected the original solid defense. After all, the Nuggets are also very good at playing defensive counterattacks.
And I have to say that the Nuggets' scorers finally found the feeling of scoring today. Anthony made 6 of 8 and Iverson made 7 of 9. The hands of these two people were hot, and they also drove the performance of the rest of the Nuggets.
After all, the Nuggets are the first team in the league to have four 40+ players in the same season. They are Iverson, Anthony, JR Smith and Kreza.
So when their hands are hot, you have to deal with it well, otherwise it is very likely to make these guys go crazy, and when the nerve knife turns into a god, it is really difficult to block.
So Zen Master hurriedly asked for a pause. At this time, it was necessary to let the Nuggets' hot feel cool down.
At the same time, Master Zen also made substitution adjustments. He removed Fisher, replaced him with Farmar, let Ji Feng control the ball, let Farmar and Kobe form a double shooter on the outside, replaced Bynum inside, and let La Demanovic and Gasol partner.
This is a Lakers shooter lineup, with mid-range shots on the inside and mid-to-long shots on the outside. Coupled with Ji Feng's combing, when they are accurate, this will be a lineup that is difficult to limit.
Zen Master also wants to use this lineup to open up the Nuggets' defense situation.
But you can also find the shortcomings of this lineup of the Lakers, that is, the Lakers do not have a super three-pointer and lack stable scoring points from the outside!
Although both Farmar and Kobe can shoot three-pointers, Kobe still holds the record for making three-pointers in a single game, but in fact, the two's three-point shooting rate is not high. Shooting is 37%, Kobe is 35%, and the three-pointer is not their preferred means of scoring.
That is to say, these two are not pure three-point shooters like Korver, Ridnour, and Peja. When they are on target, they are naturally fine, but today...
"Ji Feng dribbled the ball over halftime, Anthony obviously couldn't break his ball, Ji Feng and Gasol made a one-block screen, Anthony was blocked, Ji Feng broke the ball, and Farmar was unmarked on the outside, three Break up!"
"boom!"
"Oops! ~ It's a pity, this opportunity has already come out, and I didn't make it!" Yu Jia was heartbroken in the live broadcast room, what can he do if he can't enter this big vacancy, no matter how good it is, it's useless!
"OH, SHIT!" Seeing this ball, many Lakers fans threw off the remote control in their hands, and the motherfucker didn't even score, blinding Ji Feng's passing!
Of course, this kind of open three-pointer is very demoralizing, and he will let the Nuggets seize the opportunity to fight back again!
The popped basketball was picked off by Kleiza, and then immediately passed to Iverson, who had already run to the center line.
Ji Feng desperately returned to the defense, adjusted his pace and wanted a big cap, but Iverson passed it directly back, and Anthony behind him caught the ball and dunked!
Ji Feng can't do anything about the ball. Although he has already saved it, Iverson's ball is too reasonable, so he can only watch Anthony slam it into the ground and roar!
"Hey hey hey!" Iverson walked up and patted Ji Feng's shoulder with a smile, then ran back to the defense.
He had already caught a glimpse of Ji Feng's figure out of the corner of his eye. If anyone else had hit the ball, he would have hit the ball right away, but Ji Feng's pace was too accurate. In this case, the block rate was extremely high. He watched it on the Internet. After Ji Feng blocked shots, James and Manu were both victims of Ji Feng's trick, so he wouldn't be fooled.
"Damn it, it's really unpleasant." Ji Feng waited with his waist on his back, waiting to serve, it was too uncomfortable to have nowhere to go.
The roar of the scene and the blue waves made the Lakers' morale hit very hard, while the Nuggets were imposing.
In the second quarter after that, the Lakers' hit rate was still very low, 1 of 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, which Ji Feng couldn't throw in, but his hit rate came to 4 of 7 shots.
The shooting percentage of the others was appalling. The shooting percentage was only 35%, which was very similar to the third game of the Nuggets.
Bryant only scored 15 points in the half, far below the average of the first three games, and shot only 4 of 13, the first time the shooting rate was lower than 40%.
Farmar, Fisher and Walton, the three only scored one three-pointer, and the back line was completely destroyed by the opponent!
The Lakers only had Ji Feng to play fairly normal. He threw 4 three-pointers in the half, scored 17 points and 5 rebounds, but only had 3 assists. When Ji Feng has so few assists, you know when he is still the organizer of the ball. How bad is the Lakers offense.
The Lakers were 42-59 at halftime, trailing by 17 points!
"It can't go on like this." Ji Feng glanced at the big screen before leaving. He has already scored 4 three-pointers in this game, and he is still 6 away from 10. He doesn't want to hand over the victory to others. Obviously teammates are not online in the game, so he wants to carry the team forward!
"Coach! I want unlimited firepower!" Ji Feng stopped the Zen master who was about to enter at the door of the locker room and said.
"We need to score goals, and defense doesn't solve the problem at this time, especially in the face of two guns that feel hot, we have to attack each other! Trust me! I can do it!" Ji Feng said firmly.
This is the first time he has voluntarily applied for the unlimited right to fire. Generally speaking, only Kobe Bryant has such a right in the Lakers. Although he did not say it, Ji Feng usually has it, but Ji Feng has hardly used it, and this time, He must fight!
Not just for this win, but for the series to come!
The Nuggets' tactics showed him that he could still be targeted. He had foreseen that as long as his shortcomings were still there, the Jazz, Spurs, and Greens would frantically make a fuss about this and target him madly, so he must To complete the task of three points as soon as possible!
As long as he makes up for this shortcoming, he will be invincible on offense, and there will be no shortcoming any more, then the opponent's defense will be wiped out by him, and he will be even closer to that trophy!
But before that, he needs to discuss it with the coach!
"Okay! I'll let them pass the ball for you!" The Zen master only looked directly at Ji Feng for a while, he saw the firmness in Ji Feng's eyes, so he agreed, no reason needed.
He believed that Ji Feng had the ability to surprise him, and in this situation that was already too stiff, he led the Lakers to make a comeback against the sky!
