The Zen master was very satisfied with Zhou Hang's performance on the court.

Although Zhou Hang played average in the first half of the quarter, his performance was very explosive during the substitute stage.

Barkley shouted: "The Nuggets are not doing well with Zhou Hang's defense, and Zhou Hang scored frequently in the final stage."

"It can be seen from the first quarter that the score will not be lower tonight," Smith said.

After the break between the festivals.

The Zen master is still in the second team. Zhou Hang's condition is very hot at the end of the first quarter, and the Zen master is reluctant to let Zhou Hang be on the court.

Anthony went down from the Nuggets, and Iverson led the team on the court.

The lineup of the two teams is still relatively small, just to play against each other.

Nuggets attack.

Iverson strengthened his organizational support. After changing direction at high speed, he hit the ground and hit Kenyon Martin who cut into the inside.

Gasol's defense was knocked away by Kenyon Martin.

After Kenyon Martin received the pass from Iverson, he stepped forward and dunked it!

"box!"

29 to 33.

The Nuggets' offense is still very lethal, and the Lakers' players on the court dare not relax.

Lakers fans were also nervously watching the game on the court, which was difficult for such a team to play.

On the court, Gasol served Zhou Hang quickly.

Zhou Hang sprinted as soon as he got the ball.

Ariza and Famal also flew together.

The Nuggets' defense was not completely settled, and Zhou Hang's straight attack attracted Iverson and JR's defense and then jumped to Ariza on the right.

Ariza made an open three-pointer in the conversion.

With defense, Ariza is not accurate, but he makes it very comfortable to shoot three-pointers in this open space.

"Swish!"

29 to 36.

This three-pointer quickly made the momentum of Staples Stadium rise again.

The Lakers only took 5 seconds to attack.

"The Lakers' speed has also increased."

"The second lineup is to play fast pace, and the starting lineup is to play slow pace, which can be fast or slow!"

"It seems that Zhou Hang is going to let go of the fight with Iverson!"

Iverson's face turned dark, ignoring the cheers, he dribbled forward quickly.

Iverson was never afraid of comparing speed with others.

The Lakers' defense was quick, and their players' defensive awareness was stronger than that of Nuggets.

After rushing to the frontcourt, Iverson was forced to slow down by Ariza nearest.

Iverson went around and gave JR to follow up. JR continued to break through and pass the ball to Nahura in the right corner.

Nahura once again transferred to Iverson on the right.

Iverson was in the open position and he made three points.

"box!"

Iverson's three-point shooting percentage is only 31% in his career, which is not qualified for the defender, and even the open position is not so safe.

The rebound was taken by Gasol, and Zhou Hang immediately accelerated the sprint. Gasol sent a long pass and led Zhou Hang forward.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhou Hang pulled the ball one meter away from the three-point line.

JR was originally retreating, but when he saw Zhou Hang's actions, he rushed over immediately.

But it's still slow!!

"Swish!"

Zhou Hang scored three points in a conversion.

29 to 39, the gap between the two teams widened.

The Nuggets' offense was also very fast, and Kenyon and Martin were also serving the ball to Iverson back.

Iverson passed Zhou Hang in the highway, rushed to the basket against Gasol and then made a layup.

31 to 39.

Iverson prefers such breakthrough offenses than shooting outside.

The Lakers attacked, and Gasol continued to make free throws to Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang dribbled behind the scenes and then dived and accelerated over Iverson.

“WOW!!”

Lakers fans continued to shout, they like to watch such a battle against the bomb.

This kind of slams the air can make people feel bloody.

Zhou Hang rushed to the opposite three-point line, and after worshiping Buddha, he passed JR again.

It’s not that Zhou Hang is so powerful, but that the Nuggets’ defense is really bad.

After Zhou Hang made a step into the three-point line, he did not continue to go inside, but stopped in the middle of the distance!

The basketball draws a straight line.

"box!"

"Swish!"

31 to 41.

The Nuggets players thought Zhou Hang would suppress the rhythm, but they didn't expect Zhou Hang to attack as soon as he said it.

Nuggets attack.

Iverson inserted into the inside with the help of a pick-and-roll.

At the high speed, Iverson distributed the ball to Kenyon Martin who followed in the middle.

"Bang!"

Martin dunked Gasol again after knocking his hands!

33 to 41.

"The offensive rhythm of both teams is very fast, and the Lakers' second team doesn't care whether Iverson is on the court at all. Let's see which coaches of the two teams are more patient and who will stop such endless speedup first." Barkley shouted.

The offense on the field is still booming.

After the starters of the two teams arrived on the court, they had to run at this pace.

The two teams finished the first half in this match.

63 to 69.

The Lakers have an advantage in this kind of running and bombing competition.

Zhou Hang made not many shots in this quarter, only 8 times, hitting 6 of them, and then sent 5 assists.

Kobe and Gasol faced much less pressure because of Zhou Hang's restraint on the court.

The most direct thing is that Kobe's efficiency has increased sharply. Kobe no longer faces a situation of one-on-two or three-on-three. In many cases, he only needs to deal with a defender.

Kobe has an advantage in this single-handed fight.

Although the Lakers are in great shape, the Nuggets are not in bad shape. The explosion between Iverson and Anthony also makes the atmosphere in Staples Stadium always tense.

Compared with the previous game, the Nuggets have adjusted a lot in this game, and their offense has become more decisive. They no longer hesitate and always chase the Lakers' butts.

Lakers fans experienced the scene of being eliminated in the playoffs in the first two seasons. Nowadays, fans do not want this scene to happen again, so they actively helped the Lakers cheer.

In the TNT studio.

Barkley said: "The Lakers successfully maintained the lead in the first half, and the absence of Sharks Bynum also completely increased their speed. They are not afraid of the Nuggets when they play quickly."

Smith said: "If you continue to play like this, the ending will probably be similar to the previous game."

Barkley said: "I hope George Carl will complete the adjustment as soon as possible. If they don't defend, they will not be able to beat the Lakers."

Smith said: "Looking at the close score, the Nuggets have never been able to overtake, which also shows that the Lakers are better than the Nuggets."

Both teams played at their own level in the first half.

Bynum's absence allowed Zhou Hang to play No. 1, and these factors also increased the Lakers' speed.
