Chapter 455 The Nuggets counterattack

JR, who was a little angry in his heart, heard Li Tian provoking in his ear, and instantly exploded on the spot. His first thought was that if he wanted to fight, he must not give in.

Just as JR was about to rush forward and start a fight, a whistle came from behind him.

JR was so frightened that he shrank his neck and quickly turned around to leave, because he had already felt that there was more than one murderous intention behind him. He dared to conclude that if he really rushed over and had a fight with Li Tian, ​​he would not be able to defeat him.

I know, but he will definitely be taken out on a stretcher.

Seeing the referee's gesture, JR realized that it was Karl calling a timeout. He turned and looked at the bench of Karl's team. This time he really took it seriously. He already had a premonition that he would definitely sit on the bench until the next game.

No, whether he can play in the next game is a big question mark. If things go wrong, the next time he plays may already be the playoffs.

JR lowered his head and walked towards the bench.

Seeing JR's devastated look at this moment, Buckley was in the studio, rolling forward and backward with laughter. He really couldn't help it, and he was shamelessly laughing crazily in the studio.

"Kobe, what did he say to you just now?" Li Tian could swear that he was just curious and wanted to know what JR just said that made him so angry.

"I didn't say anything, I just wanted to break through with the ball!" Kobe didn't want to say it. If this guy knew what JR said, this guy would definitely keep talking in his ears in the next game.

"What did you say?" Odom, who came over from the bench, couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

"I said it, but I didn't say anything!" Kobe was a little angry.

"Haha, I guess he must have seen that you haven't been attacking and said that you are old and that your physical strength is not good enough." Odom was not worried about Kobe being angry at all, but continued.

He guessed that there were four or five possibilities, but if we dig deeper into several possibilities, they would be due to one reason - old age.

When Odom was guessing, he didn't look at Kobe's face at all. At first, he was just a little angry, and then his face kept changing, until finally, the veins popped out, and his eyes were full of anger, which made Odom's heart beat.

have.

Seeing Kobe's expression like this, Li Tian already knew in his heart that JR must have said that Kobe was old and not physically strong enough, so he was so angry. Odom was so stubborn that he really guessed that this guy was really

yes.

Li Tian couldn't help but immediately prayed for Odom, who was seeking death, hoping that he would not be tortured to death by Kobe Bryant in the next few days.

Because of JR's two wild shots, the Lakers had widened the point difference to 15 points. The Lakers continued to lead at 68:83 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

Phil also took advantage of the situation and made substitution adjustments. Only Kobe was left as the starting player. In the past few minutes, he only conducted one offense with the ball, and his physical energy consumption was very small.

Karl replaced the team's strongest offensive lineup and defended him. Although he said that he asked the players to defend with all their strength, one look at the players on the field showed that except for Billups, everyone else is good at attacking.

Player Karl also doesn't expect Anthony, who is severely physically exhausted, to continue to defend with all his strength, which is simply impossible.

At the end of the timeout, Anthony faced Walton's defense and shot a three-pointer from the front.

Walton's defense, according to his actual ability, has reached the extreme. His right hand has reached Anthony's face, but he still failed to prevent Anthony from hitting a three-pointer.

Anthony's pull-up three-pointer was the first shot of the counterattack.

"After the Denver Nuggets replaced JR, their offensive end finally returned to normal. I hope they can persist so that this game that fans around the world are watching will not lose suspense early!" Director Zhang said.

If you speak as a fan, especially as a Lakers fan, of course you hope that the team can end this game early, and they can also start celebrating early. But as a commentator, only intense games can be more attractive.

When people watch a game that loses suspense early, it will only make fans feel that this kind of game is the same whether they watch it or not.

Kobe passed the ball to Odom and the shot bounced out of the frame.

Billups dribbled the ball through halftime. He knew that Anthony's three-pointer just now relied on hard power. It was impossible to hit every shot. He needed to sort out the offense to a regular level. JR's super long three-pointer just now

, it hurt the team's offense too much, and other players were a little overwhelmed. When Anthony made the three-point attack just now, Petro made mistakes in his movement. Fortunately, he hit the three-pointer, otherwise the Lakers would definitely

Let's do a quick break.

Billups controls the ball with his left hand and directs the movement of his teammates with his right hand. They must succeed in this attack so that the point difference can be at least within 10 points. If the team wants to make a comeback, there is still a chance.

Anthony stepped forward to cover and blocked Kobe in front of him. Billups took advantage of the trend and drove to the basket. Using the rhythm, he shook Odom who was defending the basket. He passed the ball to Nene who was open and hit the mid-range shot.

73:83, after the timeout, the Denver team only needed one minute to narrow the point difference to 10 points.

Phil was not in a hurry, but made a gesture towards Kobe, asking him to play a pick-and-roll with Odom. Instead of blindly distributing the ball, he could also try singles. At the critical moment when the Nuggets were chasing points, this

At this time, the star player needs to step up and suppress the Nuggets' offensive momentum.

With the help of Odom's pick-and-roll, Kobe went to the basket in one step. Nene calculated that Kobe wanted to cooperate with Odom. He quickly stepped forward to cover the defense, and called Anthony on the other side to cut off Kobe's pass.

In preparation, Anthony quickly moved between Kobe and Odom.

When breaking through, he always paid attention to the changes in the opponent's defensive end. Kobe did not pass the ball to Odom according to Phil's arrangement just now. Instead, he relied on Nene, against the defense, and took a mid-range shot.

Unfortunately, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

"Rebound!" The moment he took the shot, Kobe felt a sharp pain in his right arm. This shot was definitely not going to hit. No matter whether the referee blew the whistle or not, he threw his body into the air and shouted to remind his teammates.

Fight for rebounds.

The referee did not blow the whistle. After hearing the prompt, Mbenga still did not grab the offensive rebound.

Billups received the pass from Nene and saw Kobe falling to the ground and about to get up. He quickly decided to launch a fast break. He didn't want to wait for Kobe to come back and play positional warfare like before. If he wanted to score, he just

Not that easy.

"Get off!" Billups shouted frantically.

Anthony also ran towards the frontcourt in a swift movement. Billups is indeed one of the best commanders in the league in the past ten years, and his judgment of the situation is very accurate.

Watching Anthony's outstanding performance, Billups passed the ball before halftime, leading the ball, and Anthony pocketed the ball.

"Bang!" An explosive dunk, the sound echoed throughout Staples.

In the center of the arena, the scene of Nene's thug's foul was replayed, and the fans took advantage of the situation and cursed the referee.

It's not that the bottom line referee didn't want to call the penalty, but he really didn't see it. His line of sight was blocked by Petro, and he didn't see Nene's foul at all. Moreover, Nene's foul action was very small and successfully escaped the referee's eyes.

The first time Kobe fell down, he quickly got up, but he still couldn't catch up with the defense in the previous round. He had just reached the three-point line.

Mbenga also immediately served the baseline ball and threw it directly to Kobe.

In the first half of the game, JR celebrated wildly after hitting the ball and was caught off guard by the Lakers. This time the Denver Nuggets learned a lesson and did not celebrate, but frantically returned to defense.

However, I still underestimated Kobe's speed and succeeded in dunking without any defense!

The score difference of 75:85 continued to remain at 10 points, with two and a half minutes left in the third quarter.

Billups did not change his mentality because of this defense. He still directed the team's offense as before.

Pass the ball to Anthony, post up Walton, attract a double-team from Farmar on the outside, pass the ball to the unguarded Carter, and hit a three-pointer.

In this way, in the last few minutes of the third quarter, the Denver team narrowed the point difference again. Billups and Anthony hit a total of 3 three-pointers, and the point difference was narrowed to 6 points, 86:92.

The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 6-point lead, and the suspense of this game returned again.

On the bench, Phil looked at everyone and said, "Defense is still defense. You must defend well and don't give your opponent a chance to take action easily."

Phil arranged that the next tactics must suppress the Denver team's counterattack. Throughout the third quarter, the main players of the Denver team did not take a rest. It was impossible for Karl to let Anthony and Billou at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Pus comes on the court. The Lakers can take advantage of this period to widen the point difference again.

"Li, next, you will lead the team to come on as a substitute and play the entire fourth quarter. Is there any problem?" Phil asked. From the beginning of the season, Li Tian's physical fitness was indeed not that good. As the season progressed, he

His physical performance is getting better and better, but Phil still has to ask.

"No problem. If you play through the fourth quarter, there will be no problem with your physical strength." Li Tian nodded and replied.

"Okay, Lee will come on as a substitute, and Sun will come on as well, dribbling and covering on the court." Phil felt that he was about to enter the playoffs and he needed to consider the issue of the team's 12-man roster. He hoped

You can increase the appearance of some players to examine the players. With Li Tian on the court, even if Sun Yue is not good at controlling the ball, he can still hand it over without any problems.

"A good coach, I will complete the tasks assigned to me by the team very well!" In this game, Sun Yue has already played for 10 minutes, and Vujacic's sluggish state has increased his playing time.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Karl's arrangement was not what Phil thought. He did not dare to put the team's two All-Stars off the court. In that case, it might not take three minutes at all for the Lakers to defeat the team.

Substitute player collapses.

Billups continued to play, controlling the Denver team's offense, allowing him to lead the team's bench, stabilize the point difference, and buy Anthony enough rest time.

"Sun Yue, play hard, play more pick-and-rolls with me later, take good chances to take action, don't hesitate!" Li Tian stepped forward, patted Sun Yue on the shoulder and said.
Chapter completed!
