Chapter 96, Consecutive Biao Three Points(1/2)
Barkley shouted: "Zhou Hang's three-pointer feels hot. This is a different state from the previous three games. Let's see if he will return completely tonight."
On the field, Zhou Hang shouted at Nelson: "You can't defend me."
Zhou Hang had enough self-confidence to beat Nelson up tonight.
Nelson is a pick-and-roll short point guard, his height is a fatal point, and his speed is not fast.
Zhou Hang likes such a matchup very much.
At this time, Zhou Hang also understood the Zen master's intention to let him play the point guard.
The Zen master did not really want him to hold the ball for a long time in the future, but occasionally asked him to eat the opponent when he encountered a short point guard like Nelson.
After all, Fisher is often eaten by his opponents, and this feeling is quite uncomfortable.
Nelson was a little frustrated.
Kenny Smith said: "Nelson will be under a lot of pressure. The Lakers should be focusing on Zhou Hang. This will also be a test for Stan Van Gundy's deployment. See if he will change the defensive players immediately."
Barkley said: "This is probably difficult. After all, the shooting guard is defending Kobe. Nelson will be eaten raw against Kobe."
Magic attack.
Nelson dribbles forward.
Continue to Tkoglu.
Tkoglu still creates opportunities for Howard.
It is still difficult for Walton to defend Tkoglu.
Tkoglu made a sudden move and passed the ball to Howard.
Howard started running, and he immediately rushed to the basket after getting the ball.
Gasol had no choice but to foul Howard, but the foul did not completely hug Howard.
Howard staggered and took action.
"Beep!!"
"Swish!"
10 to 7
Howard scored and had extra penalties!
Howard yelled and celebrated.
Fans at the home stadium also cheered.
Zhou Hang was also very afraid of Howard when he saw it.
Howard is now more and more powerful in the inside line. It would be fine if the Lakers had Bynum, but Bynum is a power-oriented person and can withstand it.
Now there are only Gasol and Odom. Both of them are skillful inside players. When they encounter violent inside players like Howard, the confrontation is almost awesome.
Howard stood on the free throw line.
Zhou Hang was not worried about Howard's free throw, anyway, his free throw was very bad!
"box!"
As expected, a fine was added.
The rebound was taken down by Kobe.
Lakers attack.
Kobe gave the ball to Zhou Hang, and Zhou Hang pushed the ball forward.
After Zhou Hang arrived at the front court, he gave the ball to Gasol in the inside to make a transition.
Zhou Hang didn't always play against Nelson, he also needed to find a good angle and rhythm.
Gasol held the ball and observed the free throw line.
Zhou Hang is still running, Nelson did not give Zhou Hang a chance to catch the ball easily, Kobe's position is not good, and Gasol is not easy to play.
And Howard is a bit of encouraging Gasol to shoot.
Gasol didn't hesitate too much and took the mid-range distance.
The moment Gasol made a move, Howard jumped hard. Howard's bounce was so scary. Gasol's shot was not the kind of jump shot, but an almost standing shot. The ball was hit by Howard.
The basketball hit the basket and bounced high. Howard jumped up and grabbed it again.
Zhou Hang wanted to cut the ball, but Howard swung his elbow directly.
Zhou Hang reacted quickly and did not go away.
Howard smiled and shouted at Zhou Hang: "Rookie, it's better to stay away from me, or you may be knocked down!"
Zhou Hang clenched his fists and did not impulse to beat Howard up.
Zhou Hang probably knew his combat power. He could let Howard lie down in one second, with too much lethality and need control.
It can also be seen from this round that the atmosphere between the two teams is very hot.
Gasol signaled to his teammate that the ball was his problem.
Magic attack.
Nelson and Evans are still staring at by Zhou Hang and Kobe, and neither of them has a good chance.
Nelson was very distressed. Zhou Hang was higher than him and was not bad in confrontation. Then he could keep up with him with speed. He felt that he had no chance to connect to the ball.
Tkoglu organized the ball to conduct the ball, and the final chance appeared with Lewis.
Howard restrained Gasol and Odom in the inside, and Lewis gained a gap at the sideline near the bottom corner.
Lewis made another three-pointer in the bottom corner.
"Swish!"
10 to 10.
The Lakers started off with great force, but the Magic were not bad at all.
Kobe shouted to the two insiders: "Don't let his three-pointer."
Lewis' three-point shooting ability is perfect match for Howard. He can create gaps in the inside and not let insiders squeeze in.
Lakers attack.
The Magic began to defend at home, and Nelson kept fighting Zhou Hang's body, and he wanted to cut off Zhou Hang's ball next time.
Zhou Hang's ball control is not a problem, but he can't organize a good offense. Zhou Hang gave the ball to Kobe and Kobe to Odom.
Odom made a mid-range jump shot.
Because of Howard's existence, the Lakers' offensive methods are often initiated on the outside, and they all have many concerns about the inside offense.
"box!"
Obviously, Odom's shooting feels bad.
Howard once again took the rebound.
The Magic's defense reflects their strength, and the Lakers were a little anxious and didn't have the patience to wait for Zhou Hang to create opportunities.
This was also true for the next few consecutive rounds.
The Lakers' ending points are not Zhou Hang's side. Kobe and Gasol launch an attack and rush to the inside, and the results are not very good.
For nearly three minutes, the Lakers didn't score.
The Magic played more and more vigorously at home. In addition to shooting from the outside, they also rushed to the basket many times in the inside.
At 7 minutes and 11 seconds, Gasol was forced to foul Howard, and he suffered two fouls and was replaced by a ski man.
After Howard made one of two free throws, the score between the two sides became 10-16.
In the next round, the ski man failed to make a three-pointer, and came over to Tekoglu to make a three-pointer, turning the score into 10-19.
The Zen master shouted to stop the competition.
The momentum of Amway Center Stadium continues.
The Lakers were beaten to a small climax.
The Magic are different from the three opponents the Lakers have encountered before. They have a combination of offense and defense, put enough pressure on the defensive end, and the offensive end is also very smooth.
Even the Lakers had not encountered the Cavaliers before, but they were not as comprehensive as the Magic they are now.
Zhang Weiping also said bluntly: "The Lakers are in trouble in this game."
Lakers bench.
The Zen master told Zhou Hang: "Zhou, you are the point guard, you need to be responsible for the smoothness of the offensive during this period of time on the court."
Zhou Hangdao: "Well, I know, my pot."
Zhou Hang's organization lacks experience, so he has not transformed the Lakers' offensive ability.
