Chapter 98 91 Combinations(1/2)
There was a commotion in the place.
As far as the quality of the dunk just now is concerned, Smith is indeed not inferior to Kobe at all!
35 to 38!
The Nuggets counterattacked with a 5-0 offensive, narrowing the point difference to 3 points!
Xiao stood up and went to the sideline to remind the players to stay focused.
This kind of loss of points that should have been obtained steadily, but also turned into a defensive counterattack by the opponent, is the most taboo and most hurtful thing in basketball games.
According to what the commentators often say, there are 4-pointers inside and outside!
Farmar continued to organize, and this time he made a sudden score, and the ball went to Vujacic.
This was also a good opportunity, but Vujacic failed to seize the opportunity and hit the three-pointer against the basket.
But Brown got the offensive rebound over Najera!
And after getting the rebound, he knocked Najera away with just one confrontation.
Brown's physical condition is very good, otherwise he would not have been selected as the number one pick by Mr. Joe.
However, maybe the dunk just now caused his mentality to fluctuate, so this time he chose to let the basket go.
Then, the empty blue was not put in either!
A shot of the Lakers bench was shown at the scene, and Kobe's eyes were conspicuously dull.
This time it was really numb.
All he can think about now is why a guy like this is still on the Lakers.
When the camera returned to the court, Najera grabbed the defensive rebound and had already given the ball to Lin Ying.
Another wave of defensive counterattack.
It was still Smith who was at the forefront.
This guy's awareness and speed of fast breaks are top-notch!
But this time, because of a pass, the Lakers retreated faster.
Smith did not take any direct fast break opportunities.
When Lin Ying moved forward and was about to stabilize his position, Smith faced Vujacic from outside the three-point line and shot directly!
Damn it, you are so smart...
"Whoosh!"
Then he ejaculated!
...a wise and brave guy!
38 square meters!
The Nuggets tied the score just like that!
Phil Jackson stood up and called a timeout.
The Nuggets' pursuit of points came a bit quickly.
After the timeout, the biggest change on the court is that Brown went down on the Lakers side and Odom came up.
Jackson also couldn't stand this most unscrupulous No. 1 player.
This adjustment also had an immediate effect. Odom came up to receive Farmar's pass and hit the board from mid-range, helping the Lakers break their scoring drought.
This score is critical.
When they return to the defensive end, the Lakers' defensive enthusiasm on the field becomes different.
Lin Ying stretched out his hand to indicate that Smith finally started to move!
After scoring 5 points in a row, his mood became excited.
For players like him, game emotion may be more important than game opportunities!
With a reverse run, he threw away Vujacic.
Lin Ying's outside hit ball hit the ball immediately, and Smith took off directly after receiving the ball.
However, Odom's defense was quick and he had already pounced on him.
Then, the famous scene came!
Smith did not have the momentum to stop and take off. Instead, he jumped up and turned 360° in the air to dodge. While dodging, he was still doing a windmill action!
"Bang!"
Finally, after the ball reached its highest point, he smashed it with one hand!
An extremely outrageous 360-degree dodge windmill!
Jordan experience card!
"oh.my.God!"
This was the exclamation of the on-site commentator, and also the hearts of all Lakers fans at the scene.
What Smith said about me and Kobe Bryant proving to be a joke in the end, but there is one thing he may have said right:
Only compared to actual dunks, he may indeed be a little better than Kobe!
The Nuggets bench is also crazy.
That dunk just now was the first time most of them had seen it in their lives!
Quite explosive!
Carl's expression also looked excited.
It's not because of Smith's dunk, but because of this past period, the team's No. 9 and No. 1 had a magical chemical reaction!
Smith swept away the sluggish state in the first quarter and scored 7 points in a row, all 7 points coming from assists from Lin Ying.
Smith's excellent movement speed and running and jumping ability are on the one hand, but more important is Lin Ying's passing!
You know, no one could lead Smith before!
This even means...he can safely throw Smith to the bench in the following games!
JR:Are you polite?
This substitute is currently playing very well for the Nuggets, and when the main force comes back, they will take advantage of the situation to hit a climax.
Kobe played the entire first quarter and was physically exhausted, and only scored 6 points in the second quarter.
At halftime, the Nuggets led the Lakers by 8 points, 62-54.
This wave is very comfortable.
Lin Ying scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists at halftime.
This is a chance to debut a triple-double!
So in the end you will find that what you thought Lin Ying was joking about is actually the truth!
He said that the Lakers' management did not work hard enough, and indeed they did not work hard enough.
He said that who performs better between him and Yi Jianlian depends on how much time the coach gives, and it really depends on Karl's arrangements!
Coming back in the second half, Kobe's physical fitness recovered a lot after the halftime break.
Although his shooting percentage was not as high as in the first quarter, he attacked the basket more often and drew fouls.
Moreover, during this period, the rest of the Lakers had good touch on the outside, but the Nuggets were a little helpless.
This quarter lasted about 8 minutes, and Kobe made 10 free throws by himself, and his personal score had risen to 40 points.
Facts have proved that for top players, scoring 40 points is just that simple.
Under his leadership, the Lakers have the tendency to open up the score again.
This time Karl replaced Martin with Lin Ying in advance, and he was the only one replaced.
This is really giving opportunity.
Lin Ying didn't expect that he would get up so fast this time, and he was quite happy inside.
But soon, he found that he was happy too early.
Because with him, he basically can't touch the ball.
Anthony: It is impossible to be without the ball. With the ball, you just do it. Occasionally, you will be double-teamed and get the ball.
Iverson: I'm nice to you, but the ball must be in my hands and I'll take care of everything.
Nene: Don't look at me, I just pick and roll for the two big guys and then grab the offensive boards.
Smith: I still want the ball!
Lin Ying suddenly understood why the Nuggets couldn't gain an advantage against the Lakers without Gasol.
In addition to defensive issues, this is basically a battle for the ball!
If the offensive talents of the Golden Double Spear were not high enough, they would be defeated in minutes.
Knowing he couldn't touch the ball, he simply concentrated on defense.
The effect is very good.
The biggest problem with Iverson and Anthony on the defensive end is that they are easy to miss. Lin Ying's replacement is fast enough, which can solve most of the defensive problems.
Moreover, if the Lakers simply play a triangle offense, just like in the first quarter, Lin Ying's double attack will also make Kobe uncomfortable.
This is probably the biggest difference between Odom and Gasol. Odom cannot be a pivot in NBA-level games.
