Chapter 161: Jazz Collapses
The third and fourth games were played on the Jazz's home court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć InfoNow that the Jazz are down 2-0 and the odds are very bad for them, Sloan is desperate to win a game at home to boost morale.
Before the start of the third game, Kobe Bryant asked Li Du: "Lee, can you stay calm when you encounter their small movements and dirty movements again?" ā
Li Du smiled: "Of course you can!" Boss, I've been playing for two seasons anyway, and I don't have any control at all! ā
Seeing Kobe Bryant's reassuring smile and continuing to practice shooting, Li Du secretly sneered in his heart: "Jazz, don't worry, this time, no one dares to make any small moves against me!" ā
At the home of the Jazz, the fans were still cheering for the home team, and the Lakers couldn't hear what they were saying to each other, so they simply didn't say anything, and Kobe Bryant gestured to control the whole team. And in the face of the Jazz, the current Lakers no longer need to communicate at any time, just crush them directly with their strong strength!
In fact, everyone in the Jazz team is very depressed, and for two consecutive games, they have no hope of defeating the Lakers. In the first game, Boozer and Delong were made abnormally by Li Du, and in the second game, it seemed that everyone was playing more normally, but Li Du made them feel another kind of despair, that is, scoring explosiveness! They worked hard and spent more than a quarter to finally chase the score to within 10 points, but Li Du's three consecutive three-pointers shattered their hopes!
How to defend Li Du and how to score under Li Du's defense has become an unsolvable problem in the current Jazz team that everyone ponders but does not have any answers! Originally, when any team played against the Lakers, the first thing to consider should be how to defend Kobe, but now it is necessary to consider people other than Kobe, which shows that the current Lakers team is extremely strong!
But they didn't expect that Li Du had a great grudge against Jazz, and after the opening, he didn't care about it at all, as long as he received the ball, it was a quick three-point shot! Whether it is Brewer or Delong, they are at a loss for Li Du's unreasonable style of play that ignores the rules of basketball.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant didn't know what the wind was pumping, as long as Li Du wanted to shoot, the whole team passed the ball to him. The consequence of this is that in the first quarter, Li Du made 5 of 6 three-point shots, which directly disrupted all the Jazz's pre-game deployments.
The Jazz trailed the Lakers by 12 points in the first quarter! The fans also fell silent, and they only booed as the Lakers attacked.
But this didn't work at all, after the start of the second quarter, Li Du's three-point shot was 4 of 5, plus Kobe Bryant scored 23 points in the first half, Gasol and Bynum also scored 10 points each, and at the end of the first half, the Jazz were nearly 30 points behind the Lakers!
As Li Du planned, the entire second half was reduced to garbage time. The Lakers beat the Jazz again 112-83 at home to take a 3-0 lead, and the door to the Western Conference Finals is opening for them!
In the fourth game, the Jazz, who were in a hurry to lose, fought back, but in the face of Li Du, they had no ability to resist. It was in this game that the Jazz gave up the game!
Li Du received Kobe's pass and originally wanted to single Brewer with the frame, but as soon as Li Du got off the ball, he suddenly found that Brewer didn't move at all, and he didn't defend at all! Li Du didn't care about it, and he hit the basket in one step. It stands to reason that Boozer or Oku should come to make up for it at this time.
But when everyone saw Li Du rushing in, they all dodged away! Let Li Du score an easy layup!
"What's going on? As professional footballers, they shouldn't just give up on the game! Li Du asked Kobe Bryant puzzled.
Kobe Bryant glanced at everyone on the Jazz team with disdain, and said with a smile: "You kid, you have broken people!" It is estimated that as soon as you get the ball, they will just give up the defense! ā
Saying that, Kobe Bryant shook his head, "This kind of victory, it's really boring!" ā
"Feeling desperate because your opponent is too strong, leading to abandoning the game?" Li Du whispered to himself: "I can't imagine that this kind of scene that can only appear in comics has really appeared next to me now!" ā
In his heart, Li Du wanted to ask everyone on the Jazz team loudly, would he give up like this? Then what are they still playing professional basketball, it is better to go home and hide from crying! But Li Du didn't do it in the end, he believed that it would only be the Jazz who was scared stupid by him, and other teams would definitely not do this! Especially Spurs, that stable and terrible team!
There was no suspense, the Jazz were just working the surface, and in the end, the Lakers defeated the Jazz again, sweeping them with a total score of 4-0!
won the game, but Li Du didn't have any joy at all, as Kobe Bryant said, this kind of victory is so boring!
In the post-game interview, Li Du did not hide his disdain and dissatisfaction with the Jazz, and Kobe Bryant only answered reporters' questions lightly and officially. This kind of game without any suspense and without any passion will not be happy.
When the reporter asked the Jazz why they didn't have the slightest resistance in the face of the Lakers, DeLong said: "The strength of the Lakers, to be precise, the strength of Li Du, is desperate!" There may be teams in this world that can compete with the Lakers, and there may be people who can compete with Li Du, but it's not our team, and it's not me! Losing to Li Du, I lost convincingly! ā
Is Li Du so powerful that it is desperate? The reporters seized on the issue, but what they didn't expect was that the unruly Jazz players in the past agreed with this statement, and Boozer's words may be more representative, he said: "That's right, Li Du is invincible!" No, or rather, the Lakers with Li Du are invincible, they are desperately strong! ā
The Jazz have praised the Lakers for their strength, and the Lakers have not considered them anymore, and now it will be the Spurs and Hornets who will stand in front of the Lakers. Judging from the current record, the Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference Finals is likely to be the Spurs.
The Spurs now have a 3-1 lead over the Hornets. While Chris Paul may well be the best core guard among active NBA players, he alone can't compare to the Spurs. Spurs have always been like that, low-key, stable and efficient, and as the defending champions, they showed a lot of quality.
"Spurs ......" Li Du looked at the video of the game between the two teams, and secretly swore in his heart: "This time, I want to avenge the elimination last season!" If my strategy can break you, crash! I'll be happier if you give up the game like Jazz did! ā
Seeing Li Du's fierce expression, Kobe Bryant patted Li Du lightly and admonished: "Li, the Spurs are different from other teams, don't think they will collapse like soft eggs!" In the face of them, you must be calm and do your best! ā
