Chapter 137 The Lakers Crash
In the following game, the Nuggets completely took the initiative on the field. Under the rotation of Winnie the Pooh and Miller Old, the Nuggets' tireless machine has been running desperately. This is the benefit of young players. They have infinite motivation to attack their opponents' defenses anytime and anywhere. In addition, the huge confidence generated by winning the Lakers in both games made them no longer afraid of the Purple and Gold Legion. Winnie the Pooh's injury and departure ignited the players' anger like flames, because they had no way out on the edge of the cliff and could only fight to the death.
However, Luo Yun found something wrong at this time, because he found that the Lakers' tactical arrangements have changed a lot. Whenever Luo Yun saw Kobe and Gasol on the court at the same time, he would think of the moment when he won the finals that year. His wife was extremely coquettish at that time, but now she seemed particularly embarrassed. Mike Brown's tactics made the role Gasol could play on the court particularly weak, and the offensive methods were much less, which led to the latter not being able to play in the ideal state in people's eyes.
However, people do not know that sometimes the performance of players is closely related to the coach's arrangement. Whether it is on the field or tactical execution, it will have a great impact on the players.
Judging from the starting lineup of both sides, the point guard Nuggets have the advantage, the Lakers have the advantage, the small forward Nuggets have the advantage, and the inside is the strength of the Lakers, which means that the Lakers are better than the Nuggets on the surface. Even if Winnie the Pooh is injured and does not play, then Miller is more than enough to play Sessions. However, until the game is over, the Lakers have been lagging behind, and the inside double towers, which are highly hopeful, are actually suppressed by Denver, so that their advantage in the inside is gone in an instant, or the Lakers' poor performance directly led them to enter a passive situation.
At this time, the cameras on the court were deliberately, and they pointed the cameras at George Carl and Mike Brown, who were one of the most popular figures in the playoffs. George Carl led a group of young players to enter the playoffs and fought with the Lakers until the sixth game, which was a kind of affirmation. As for Mike Brown, he has a first-class inside line in the league, one of the most passers-by power forwards in the NBA, and has a superstar Kobe Bryant in hand, but was dragged to this point by the Nuggets. The competition between the two coaches has actually been revealed in the first quarter of today. As for whether the Lakers can narrow the score gap in the next time, as for overtaking the Nuggets, it is extremely difficult in the current situation.
Luo Yun was replaced in the middle of the second quarter. In fact, George Carl was very careful about Winnie the Pooh, otherwise he would not still frown while the team was leading. Fortunately, the Nuggets' young men's performance today has reached George Carl's expected requirements, otherwise they are really likely to be killed by the Lakers.
However, at this time, George Carl gradually relaxed his heart. The Lakers are a team that relies on the inside to build offensives. As long as the inside is suppressed, their offense will not be opened. The great master is against the will of heaven, but basketball is a sport of five people, and it is not possible for one person to decide the outcome of the game.
Luo Yun was lying on the bench. Below him was the mat prepared by the team doctor. In fact, the main reason for this was to relax Luo Yun's back muscles. This scene would usually be seen from time to time in the NBA. However, when Winnie the Pooh was lying there, many fans couldn't help laughing, because this was the first time that the brat was lying on the sidelines to watch the game, so he was worried that Farid would hit the basketball in his face with a block, and he wouldn't be able to run away.
As the game progressed, the fans' emotions became more and more high. The little guy was replaced at the end of the second quarter. At this time, the rhythm on the court was still in the hands of the Nuggets. Although the Lakers were desperately chasing the score under Kobe's leadership, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to use the outside firepower to chase the game when the inside could not be opened. Therefore, until Luo Yun came on the court, the Lakers were still behind, and the Nuggets were leading the opponent by as much as 7 points.
Sessions was in extremely poor condition today. Because as soon as he got the ball, his overwhelming anger almost made him piss his pants, Luo Yun found that he seemed particularly relaxed when dealing with this guy today. So Winnie the Pooh used a fake move to deceive the opponent as soon as he came up, and then shook his wrist and rushed into the inside line!
"Clang!"
The basket exploded. Farid received the ball and dunked again, but this time the target was changed to Bynum.
The Lakers then used the last time to fight back, but unfortunately Bryant began to transform into a Los Angeles Blacksmith. Although he has scored 19 points so far, he missed the game at the critical moment.
Until the end of the second quarter, the two sides also had a 46:55 match, and the Nuggets advanced to the second half with a 9-point lead.
During the intermission, Luo Yun got up and returned to the locker room. At the same time, Jessica was about to get up, but he sat back at Luo Yun's gesture. It was the game time and the girl could not go to the locker room.
Luo Yun clearly divided the inside and outside the court. Although this may make Jessica a little unhappy, the game is the game and he must concentrate on it.
During this period, Ricardo, as a commentator on the court, analyzed in detail why the Lakers were behind so many points. That is, they rely too much on the inside in the game, so once the inside is suppressed, their tactical execution will be disrupted, followed by continuous guides. If there is no way, they will be handed over to Kobe as a single. This scene is often seen in the regular season this year. So we often hear some commentators' theory of combining internal and external lines, but it is easy to say, it is actually difficult to do it. Otherwise, every team can easily win. Mike Brown puts the focus on the inside, but the inside cannot be played, so the Lakers can only let Kobe come. When they trade for Sessions, they want someone who can break through and pass the ball, but this guy has been booed to impotence, which is naturally useless.
At this point, countless Los Angeles fans began to miss the days when Lao Yu was there!
However, there is another reason for this. Ci Shiping's suspension. This best defensive player in 2004 missed all the playoffs so far. If he was present, Kobe's defensive pressure would be much lower. In addition, Arte's three-pointer would add a new scoring point to the Lakers. After all, both Barnes and Ebanks were temporarily promoted to the third position. Just look at Gallinari's coquettish performance in this playoffs. After playing 5 games, he averaged 15.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He is a big scoring weapon for the Nuggets. However, if Ci Shiping can play, Gallinari's performance will definitely be limited. Even if he is outstanding, he will not be able to break through to the basket with such a tall figure.
So the Lakers' backwardness is due to the Nuggets' outbreak, the game between coaches, and other factors. In short, no one in NBA teams can guarantee that he can completely defeat his opponent. In the regular season, the Heat can lose to the Bobcats. Then even if it is noble like the Purple Gold Army, it is nothing unexpected to lose to the Denver Track and Field Team. After all, the Nuggets have Farid and Winnie the Pooh, as well as Miller Harrington, McGee, Brewer, Garlinari and Avraro are not vegetarians. It can be said that the lineup configuration is also very good.
However, the Lakers could not find any feeling in this game today. It was not a solution to rely on Kobe's own support. So in the third quarter, Luo Yun and his senior brother began to fire from the outside, preparing to kill the Lakers in one fell swoop.
Mike Brown sent Barnes to replace Ebanks, but the Lakers' adjustment effect was not great; Farid made a layup and made a foul of Gasol, winning a chance to add free throws and scored 3 points. Then, in the counterattack, he received a pass from Winnie the Pooh to make a foul, and continued to make both free throws!
Sessions made a shot and Luo Yun used Avlarod to make another three-pointer. The home team made an attack wave of 8:0, causing both sides to fight directly to 46:63.
However, just when Lakers fans were heartbroken, Farid blocked Bynum and Gasol's shots. Although Bynum made a layup in the positional battle and made McGee foul and scored three points to stabilize the situation, Winnie the Pooh's elusive pass made the Lakers no chance to breathe. The Nuggets' miner duo showed off again. Farid hit Gasol's hook and hit a two-pointer. Gallinari and the newly-playing Mozgov cruelly sprinkled a handful of salt on the Lakers' wounds. In the end, the Los Angeles could only rely on Kobe's continuous hits, which allowed Kankan to narrow the gap to 20 points.
The Nuggets fans at the scene had no way of thinking that this game would be like this, because in their hearts, Luo Yun's injury had already dispelled their hope of entering the second round, but at this moment they had to admit that sometimes surprises always came so suddenly. Looking at the angry look of the god, I suddenly felt that Kobe was so powerless at this time, while Winnie the Pooh was wandering on the court like a wandering stroll. He no longer had to risk getting injured again to the basket because he had a group of extremely excellent teammates.
However, the game was not over at this time, and everything could happen on the field. Countless Lakers fans began to comfort themselves in this way.
However, Winnie the Pooh is not a human at all. He is just a demon who eats people and doesn't spit bones. He is like this and he is still shooting on Sessions' head, completely ignoring his hands. The basketball fell directly into the net with a "swish" sound, causing jubilation at the scene!
The gap between the two sides widened again. Kobe used a dunk to announce that he did not give up, but the game had already reached this point. Even if he was as strong as Bryant, he would be unable to make up the situation!
