Chapter 166: Why is this the case again?

It's like Uncle Benshan can flicker a pair of normal legs and be lame; After the simple and kind Anthony Brown was fooled by Yi Feng, he burst out with eye-catching potential for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the offensive end, he doesn't have much of a chance to perform, so let's not talk about it.

On the defensive end, no matter how Paul George uses cover, it's hard to get rid of Anthony Brown. He was like a plaster of dog skin, completely stuck to Paul George.

Although in the entire third quarter, Anthony Brown did not get a single positive statistic from Paul George, no steals and no blocks, but his unremitting defense greatly affected Paul George's offensive state and effectively limited Paul George's shooting percentage.

Paul George, who is the main offensive arrow of the Pacers, has had an up-and-down state, and the Pacers have naturally been affected. The team's scoring is no longer consecutive, which gives the Lakers a chance to close the gap.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 91:88, and the Lakers narrowed the gap to 3 points, keeping the suspense of victory and defeat until the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was another battle between the two sides in terms of rotation lineups.

The Pacers, who have a more balanced lineup, once again opened the score with a rotation lineup, and Byron Scott scratched several red marks on his head, which also didn't help.

Seeing that the point difference was about to go to double digits, he could only ask for a timeout and change the main lineup in advance. It didn't take long for the Pacers to put their main players on the court.

At this point, the final Armageddon between the two sides has finally arrived. At the beginning of the showdown, the Pacers had an eight-point advantage, which put them in a difficult position to shake.

The game was played at the Staples Center Arena, and the Lakers certainly had the bonus of home court form, but unfortunately the Pacers did not change because they played away, and the main players were all alive and well.

Every time the Lakers struggled to narrow the gap to two or three points, the Pacers simply and neatly came up with a dazzling wave of tactical coordination, and finally succeeded in playing an offense and once again widened the difference.

Time passed quietly in the tugging and pulling of both sides.

With the final 2:36 of the game remaining, the score was 107-103, and the Pacers still held the lead. Although under the Nth counterattack of the Lakers, this point difference finally became within reach.

But according to the previous trend, the point difference is about to be opened up again by the Pacers and become unbreakable.

The Pacers attack.

Yi Feng rarely began to loudly encourage his teammates on the field, and he did not allow the score difference he had worked so hard to recover was suddenly pulled away by the opponent.

Therefore, he switched defenses with Kobe Bryant and personally targeted Paul George.

This is the first time he has played against Paul George in the whole game, and it is also the first time that fans who follow this game have seen the official collision between the two leading scorers in the East and dominating the league's scoring list.

In the last two minutes or so, the most bloody collision between the king and the general was finally staged!

In the past three quarters or so, Paul George has scored 30 points and is in good shape, and it can be said that the Pacers have been able to suppress the Lakers on the road, and he should be the first to take the lead; And Yi Feng is also not in bad shape, and with the bonus of home advantage, he has also scored more than 30 points.

However, how many points have been scored is not important to Yi Feng at this moment. The important thing is that he succeeds in restricting the man in front of him.

Perhaps seeing Yi Feng defend in person, Paul George felt a strong battle intent surging.

So he didn't cooperate with his teammates anymore, and directly took the ball to meet Yi Feng. He was very interested in this super-rookie who had made a name for himself, and now he had a good time!

Paul George doesn't dribble too much in front of Yi Feng, he knows that he has a high center of gravity, and he is careful to avoid being tackled by fast hands when he breaks through, especially when facing defenders who are not as tall as him.

After two simple crossovers, Paul George forced his way to the right.

Yi Feng reacted quickly, and the small broken steps moved to the left. But because Paul George struck first, Yi Feng could only be in a passive position. Failed to completely block Paul George's breakthrough route.

In this way, Yi Feng is in a more passive position.

Because of Paul George's advantage in height and weight, after rushing up, Yi Feng didn't let go at all, and could only be pushed back.

Yi Feng's weight is too light, and the disadvantage of insufficient confrontation ability is very obvious at this moment.

It seems that he personally switched guards with Kobe, and it seems that he has brought some humiliation on himself.

In the end, Paul George pressed Yi Feng to make a layup, and let Yi Feng eat a foul. Paul George then hit an easy free throw to stretch the margin to seven points.

110:103, time is getting less and less, but the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and the Lakers are getting worse and worse

On the defensive end, Yi Feng was completely blown up by Paul George and was powerless at all. The only way to win a game back is on the offensive end.

Paul George also took the initiative to switch defenses with his teammate George Hill, George Hill was very embarrassed by Yi Feng, and at this time, when he saw the team boss coming over to solve his urgent need, of course he would not refuse.

Paul George changed defenses with his teammates, firstly, because Yi Feng had personally entertained him just now, and the courtesies were exchanged, and he also had to entertain Yi Feng in person; Second, there are still two minutes left in the game, and whether the Lakers can turn the tables in the end depends on whether Yi Feng can turn the tide. So he personally defended Yi Feng, just to strangle this sign in the cradle.

Facing Paul George's defense, Yi Feng felt a lot of pressure.

Paul George is a defensively pressing. It's not that he often reaches out to harass your dribble, but that he has a pair of fast hands, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and he won't move without a chance.

But you are worried that he will suddenly make a steal at some point, which is very stressful.

And Paul George's height and reach are excellent among outside players, and he can use his reach to thwart defenders even when he doesn't keep up with the breakout of a smaller guard.

But even if the road ahead is long and there are many difficulties, Yi Feng will not stop - of course, not because he is wearing ANTA on his feet - because he does not want to lose.

The famous paranoid Kobe Bryant famously said, "There is always someone who wants to win, why can't that person be me", Yi Feng is more and more infected by him, even if it is an ordinary regular season, Yi Feng does not want to lose.

It is almost the same routine as Paul George breaking through Yi Feng before, and Yi Feng is also after two simple cross steps, and Paul George is strongly attacked on the right side!

The difference is that Yi Feng is more explosive and has a lower center of gravity, and this first step has already passed most of Paul George's position.

Paul George's defense was very clean, and there were no small moves such as pulling clothes, which made him completely passed by Yi Feng. Yi Feng's first step is fast enough, but what's even more terrifying is that he can also accelerate twice!

After the second acceleration, Paul George was passed, and Yi Feng kept his feet and went straight to the basket.

Myles Turner was stunned for a moment when he saw that the team boss had been passed so easily, and then immediately came over to make up for it.

Under such a high-speed movement, Yi Feng did not change direction, because it was too much burden on his knees and ankles. Therefore, even when he saw Myles Turner making up for it, Yi Feng rushed over without frowning.

The two fought in the air, and Yi Feng did not fall into the wind due to the kinetic energy of the forward rush. However, Myles Turner withstood the impact and tried to block it.

Of course, Yi Feng didn't let him succeed, although the ball holder was slapped heavily, but the ball firmly controlled in his hand seemed to be glued to his hand and was not slapped off. And before he hit the ground, he made a small lever and threw the ball out.

In fact, Yi Feng couldn't see the basket at this time, but his grasp of the position of the basket was still very good, and if his shot was not destroyed, he might really be able to hit.

But reality has no ifs!

Paul George followed closely behind Yi Feng, and after seeing Yi Feng confronting Miles Turner, he wanted to make a move, but he was quickly slapped off.

Yi Feng's breakthrough resulted in a defensive foul on Myles Turner and two free throws.

Standing at the free throw line, Yi Feng emptied his mind and hit two free throws steadily.

110:105, the Lakers are still stubbornly biting the score!

But at this moment, time has become the Lakers' worst enemy! There is 1 minute and 52 seconds left in the race!

Switching offense and defense, this time Yi Feng did not defend Paul George in person, and the lesson of the last blood made him understand his powerlessness in the face of Paul George.

The so-called "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high" is not unreasonable, and if Michael Jordan had not had the help of Scott Pippen, he would not have won so many championships.

There is always a time when manpower is exhausted, and no matter how high the ability is, there is a limit. Just like Yi Feng's breakthrough in the face of Paul George, if you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, even if you try a few more times, the result will still be the same.

But if someone helps, two to one or even three to one, then the result is different.

In the final moments of the game, the Pacers concentrated the ball more in the hands of Big Paul George. It's a privilege to be the boss of the team, but it's also an invisible pressure.

Because everyone trusts you, they will give you the ball! And a leader who cannot lead his fellow people to victory cannot be embraced.

Paul George enjoys the exclusive support of a leader, but also bears the pressure behind this support. In the last minute, as a leader, he must have his own responsibility.

With his right hand raised, Paul George pointed his index finger to the sky and signaled to his teammates that the goal had to be scored!

Myles Turner took the initiative to cover him, and Paul George naturally didn't waste the opportunity, taking advantage of the situation to shake off Kobe Bryant and meet Randle after the switch.

In fact, Randle is about the same height as Paul George, but Randle, who is a pure insider, weighs more, and his footsteps naturally can't keep up with Paul George.

So after Paul George shook twice, he already shook Randall a little dizzy. Paul George took advantage of the situation to break through on the right side, and at this time, Yi Feng appeared like a ghost!

When a player is on a break, they are more likely to be tackled than when they are dribbling. Because it is necessary to get rid of the defenders, the side that breaks through actually reveals its own flaws.

Paul George broke through to his right side, pressed the ball to the right with his right hand, and the basketball bounced forward - by this time the ball was actually out of his control, although it was only for a short time, but if his body could not break through Randle, the ball would have been lost; Or if someone suddenly shows up at this time and steals the ball, then Paul George is also a mistake.

Paul George, who originally thought that the breakthrough was successful, encountered the second situation!

The sudden appearance of Yi Feng snatched the ball!

Unity is strength!

If Yi Feng still faced Paul George alone this time, the result might be exactly the same as last time, and he would still be forced to eat him.

But with the help of his teammates, Yi Feng was able to succeed in the team Paul George!

Although he was hiding behind Kobe and Randle, suddenly came out to steal, and was suspected of a sneak attack, a successful defense should not be questioned!

picked up the basketball, Yi Feng accelerated suddenly, overtaking again and again along the way, throwing George Hill and Monta Ellis away, and finally made a layup.

110:107, with 1 minute and 37 seconds left, the Lakers chased the difference to 3 points after the efforts of the whole team!

Score difference at your fingertips!

This makes the Lakers more motivated, and the efforts of the whole game, whether they can gain something in the end, all depend on the last minute or so.

To be on the safe side, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel called a timeout, interrupting the Lakers' upcoming momentum and detailing the next offensive tactics.

The Pacers were very capable of executing their tactics, and Coach Vogel's tactics were completely out.

However, the goal of the tactics is to get the last easy shot. And Yi Feng guessed early on that the last person to shoot by the Pacers would definitely be Paul George.

So he even let go of George Hill and turned his attention to Paul George. After Paul George used cover to shake off Kobe, Yi Feng unceremoniously chased after him and successfully interfered with his shot.

Hibbert, who was active throughout the game, also won this key rebound at this time, ensuring that the team had a chance to equalize.

With such an important offense, the Lakers didn't dare to be careless, and Scott asked for a timeout, establishing Yi Feng as the end point of the offense, and setting up a lot of cover for him to finally make a smooth shot.

Scott's intentions, from the Pacers' side, are also extremely obvious. But sometimes the reality is that you are helpless, and the walker knows that it must be Yi Feng who will make a move in the end, but unfortunately he can't prevent it!

Paul George sealed his hand on Yi Feng's face, and when he couldn't see the basket at all, Yi Feng still knew these three-pointers that equalized the score!

Neither team scored the next time, apparently desperately defensively.

With 18 seconds left in the game, the Pacers had the last offensive right, and the score was 110-110.

This season, the Lakers have had this situation more than once. In the last moments, the team is always faced with the fate of killing or being killed! (To be continued.) )
