Chapter 358: Steadiness (2/3)
Paul was in the ring shouting for Pierce!
This veteran is still full of combat power! Although Bryant could shoot, he played lonely in the third quarter.
Wharton was replaced by Russell, Ennis. But none of them worked well.
In the end, it was slightly better to replace the veteran Lu Wei.
Because compared to young players, Lu Wei is more calm on the field.
The veteran guard, who was selfless at times, got multiple passes from Bryant.
And Lu Wei also lived up to Kobe's trust in him, and chased back a lot of the score that had been overtaken!
In the final minutes of the second quarter of the game, Wharton saw that he was clearly out of strength.
Since Wharton became the team's coach, Li Feng is the most potential defender star he has seen so far!
Even Wharton felt that this evaluation, there is no one!
Presumably for this game, Li Feng has made a lot of preparations!
When encountering such a team, although it is a city derby, the Clippers will not let the Lakers team in the same city as them at all.
It can be said that this game is a big headwind for the Lakers!
It can't be said that most of the Lakers' players are out of shape.
It's impossible. The reason why they played "out of shape" performance was because the Clippers were tough enough!
To say that Walton doesn't know what their team is like right now.
It is likely that any team it encounters will be a direct defeat.
You can't say that last season was the bottom team in the league, and this season it will directly become the strongest in the league, right?
It's unreasonable. But the reason why they were able to fight to this extent was that there was some element of luck.
And some of the other reasons are the variables of the Lakers.
Although on the surface of this season, the Los Angeles Lakers team has only made some minor adjustments.
But in fact, the internal changes are quite large.
That's why Clarkson was so uncomfortable at the start of the season.
Because the team has changed a lot this season from the inside out.
But now Clarkson doesn't have to adapt to such a Laker, because he has already been out of season due to injury.
In the face of such headwinds, some players flinched, some players were confused, and some players directly became spectators in the game.
At this time, Li Feng stood up!
Playing with such a team in this environment, maybe Li Feng realized that even if he did all kinds of wonderful passes, the team still couldn't score right away.
In that case, you might as well go on your own!
Li Feng figured it out at the beginning! But in fact, it was because Li Feng was affected by the very expensive blue Kobe shooting bag tonight......
Encountering headwinds, or now it is likely to be a big headwind, to a certain extent, is a competition for resources!
If the technique is not useful, then you can only fight hard!
And Kobe Bryant is now a player on the team who fits that trait. Li Feng also showed enough determination today!
was forced by the Lakers for two quarters and still led by 10 points. The Clippers aren't having a good time on that side either.
They didn't even have the heart to get ahead of the Lakers at this point.
For a while, they also felt that they couldn't win. But Pierce stepped up in time.
With his cool head and rich experience, he turned the situation of the team around again!
91:89! As Wharton thought, Li Feng's physical fitness did decline relatively quickly.
In the third quarter of the game, Li Feng leaned on the stool all the time, with no expression and no speech.
Teammates are looking forward to it because they want to make the opponent's mentality fall apart in the third quarter.
In the last 3.2 seconds, Pierce made a three-pointer to overtake the score, and the Clippers entered the final quarter with the Lakers with a narrow lead.
In the first quarter of the game, Li Feng's physical strength recovered a little, but he felt that he was still too desperate in the first half of the game tonight......
Bryant was in a bad mood after the end of the third quarter.
After seeing Li Feng, another indescribable emotion reacted on Kobe's face.
Some Lakers players look at their boss.
Could it be that Kobe Bryant is really jealous of Li Feng because of his performance tonight?
In retrospect, Li Feng stole the limelight from Kobe Bryant today.
And this season, Li Feng did not do less.
This is to teach Li Feng the technique, see him become very powerful and regret it?
But such an idea does not stand up to scrutiny, because it will feel untenable if you think about it.
But why is Kobe Bryant now?
Wharton: "In the late game, the wins and losses are bearish.
The other side is led by Pierce, and the rhythm has become very good. Maybe we won't be their opponents in the later stages.
But you're doing pretty well."
As he spoke, Wharton looked at Li Feng with satisfaction. The latter seemed to have something on his mind at this time.
And Kobe Bryant didn't say a word, standing there quietly, as a teammate, only Nick Young dared to look at Kobe Bryant's gaze now.
It is a kind of courage that is not afraid of death.
Wharton: "Basket pressing, technical pressing, scoring pressing. I look at these few, and our latter two should be able to do well.
If you can't do it anymore, you can force the opponent to use outside shots to suppress the opponent! A good match can't withstand all kinds of throwing three points!
We'll give them this later. Three-point suppression! ”
In the final quarter of the game, the Clippers lineup was Jordan Jr., Pierce, Griffin, Paul and Crawford!
At the end of the Lakers are Randle, Lore Deng, Kobe, Li Feng and Lu Wei!
Pierce was in good form today, so Doug eventually let him continue playing.
But the main task is not to score, but to organize the game with Paul!
Li Feng got Kobe's serve at this time, and the fans at the scene were excited when they saw this scene!
Li Feng, whose offensive ability exploded tonight, is on the field again!
Paul pushed Crawford, who immediately went to defend Loewe. And Paul ran towards Li Feng.
As the fans thought, the two became entangled again!
Li Feng looked a little struggling. Paul was a little proud at this time, hehe, young people should not be so confident in themselves!
More than 10 seconds passed, and finally Li Feng made a sprint.
Pierce immediately came over and planned to wrap up Li Feng with Paul.
But at this moment, Li Feng made a flick of his hand, and the basketball flew directly to Kobe, who got up and scored a three-pointer!!
A wave of embarrassment is worth its own credit. Li Feng thought of passing the ball just now!
But you can't make your passing too obvious.
It's like if you let people know you're going to hit him with a snowball. After the other party knows, can he let him hit you with a snowball?
It must have been dodged. And if your passing intent is too obvious, the best way to do that is, don't pass.
The purpose of passing the ball is, simply put, to get the ball safely into the hands of teammates.
It would be nice to get +1 assists or double assists.
Even if he was angry in the third quarter, when he cooperated with Li Feng, Kobe Bryant felt that his emotions were soothed.
It's like a teammate at the beginning of the game.
And when you meet a good teammate, let you take the head, and let Lan give it to you.
I'm sure the baby wasn't angry at the time.
That's how it feels. When you meet a powerful teammate, you won't have much to be angry about.
Li Feng: "Steady, brother~"
Bryant: "Must drop"
Although Li Feng will be uncomfortable when passing the ball at this time, compared to winning, he can still endure it.
Griffin received a pass from Paul, and he finally forced a shot against Kobe Bryant, and the basketball hit iron.
Pierce pretended to shoot after getting the rebound, but threw the ball to Uncle Huang in the air.
Little Jordan received the ball directly and charged up immediately, and immediately deducted points to score!!
After Lore Deng got the basketball, he passed the ball to Kobe, who quickly rushed over and threw the ball directly into the hands of Li Feng not far away!
This time, Li Feng faced Paul's defense and directly started the fancy dribble!
Paul looked at Li Feng with an expression of "you don't come to these bells and whistles".
Li Feng, who exchanged glances with Kobe Bryant a few times, dragged Paul to the bottom corner.
Now Paul can make a preliminary judgment that Li Feng is attracting his attention, and then plans to pass the ball out!
But now he is not relaxed in the slightest.
At this time, Kobe Bryant was also ready to attack with the ball.
Li Feng suddenly shook his hand hard, but he didn't have much contact with basketball.
The trajectory of the ball is not large, but Paul followed Li Feng's movements!
Paul was about to break Li Feng's ball, but he found that his strength was too strong, and the basketball didn't go far at all!
Li Feng directly grabbed the basketball and turned around to make a three-point shot!!
Bryant: "You ......"
Li Feng: "Steady! Isn't it~"
Kobe: "It's a bit of an operation. I'm going to want to go head-to-head with you. See if you can get past me."
Li Feng: "......"
Nick Yang: "Li Feng alone can beat you ten bosses~"
The black question mark was on the sidelines at this time making a megaphone with his hand and shouted hard at Kobe.
Wharton was eager to step up and kick Nick Young at this point.
It's a game, what are you doing?!
And the Lakers players behind him have already laughed so badly~
Li Feng pointed at Nick Yang with his finger. It means that you kid is out of luck. It's here.
At this time, Nick Young began to grimace in various ways. Wharton immediately walked over and coaxed the meme and Russell back.
This time, Griffin went directly to compete with Lore Deng, and finally pulled away and hit a three-point shot!
Li Feng got the basketball again, and Kobe's mood gradually sank down at this time.
Soon after, Li Feng directly let Pierce receive the third foul of the game in the front court. Then 2 free throws were all hit!
......
112:108! The Lakers still hold a slight lead at this point.
Until the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers have maintained a lead of about 5 points.
Whether it is Kobe Bryant or Li Feng, they are very stable on the offensive end.
And from time to time, Randle can also contribute to score, and Lu Wei can immediately release cold arrows like Fisher back then!
On the other side, the Clippers are fighting with the Lakers! Coming back from this game, Redick was replaced.
Pierce has fully established himself as a playmaker small forward.
The rest of the players are starting to become offensive scoring points. And the Lakers, on the other hand, have been controlling the pace of the game!
Li Feng and Kobe Bryant were both on the floor at the same time, and the players on the Clippers' side could clearly understand the deterrent power of the Lakers at this time!
What worries them is that the man-to-man defense can't keep the Lakers at bay. And it is not possible for multiple people to go to the bag......
Doug also knew that the pace of the Lakers today was weird.
His team is stuck in the rhythm of the opponent at this time and can't get out! But he couldn't help it.
Lore Deng went completely to the defense at this point, while Bryant, Li Feng and Lu Wei began to execute Wharton's arrangement.
Started to play on the outside and shot a three-pointer!
Paul dribbled to the front court at this time, and after seeing that there was no chance of passing, he immediately missed a three-point jumper in front of Li Feng!
After Griffin got the basketball, he directly let Lore Deng receive his sixth foul! After the penalty was hit, Griffin managed to get 2+1!
At this time, Lore Deng had no choice but to leave the field, and Zubac was still joking with his teammates there, but he was called by Wharton with a confused face......
Zubac: "Coach me...... What position to play? ”
Wharton: "Randle and Zubac switch positions, Zubac you play center, and Jordan Jr. fights for rebounds!" ”
Zubac: "......"
After seeing Zubac come up, the Clippers also knew what to do.
Lu Wei missed a three-point shot after receiving a pass from Kobe!
Paul immediately grabbed the rebound and picked up his right arm hard, and the basketball went straight to Griffin!
Jordan Jr. scored with both hands as soon as he got the pass to Lyfen! 113:112! The score is overtaken!
Wharton: "Don't worry about the inside!" Time is running out! Let go of the fight for me!! ”
At this time, Wharton will not let go of the other party easily!
The pace of the Lakers is getting faster right away! Li Feng made a gesture to pass the ball to Kobe or Lu Wei, but in the end he jumped up and hit a three-point shot!
As Paul brushed out the basket with three points, Zubac picked up the rebound and immediately gave the ball to Li Feng!
Kobe Bryant and Li Feng ran together!
The Clippers immediately ran in the direction of Kobe. In the end, Lu Wei hit a three-point shot after receiving a pass from Li Feng!
Lowe: "......"
Bryant: "??? ”
Doug: "Defend the opposing outside player!" Anti-Li Feng! Just keep him on my guard!! ”
The head coach of the Clippers shouted from the sidelines at this time!
If the Lakers are allowed to shoot like this, then what else will the game play?!
In the entanglement with the Lakers, Redick finally received the basketball, and the three-point shot hit this time!!
There is still 2 points missing. Looking at the scores of the two teams on the spot, Doug was sweating down at this time!
Immediately, Li Feng was caught by three people in the backfield! In the end, Lu Wei stepped in to solve the siege!
Kobe Bryant tricked Griffin out after getting a pass from Lowe in the frontcourt!!
The basketball came to Zubac, who immediately threw a small throw to score points!
Jordan Jr. then allowed Zubac to receive a foul and made 1 of 2 free throws. Kobe Bryant took Zubac's serve, and it was a three-pointer in the half!
123:117! The Clippers don't have a timeout at this point.
There are less than 20 seconds left. Lakers Li Feng watched the opponent make a foul after getting the basketball!
The basketball came to Lowe right away.
Li Feng crossed the half, received a pass from Lu Wei and met Paul again.
Li Feng, who pretended to pass the ball, turned around and jumped directly to hit a long-distance 2-point shot!!
The rhythm of the opponent's side was disrupted by the Lakers at this time. Redick's pass was finally cut off directly by Li Feng!
Throwing the basketball into the sky hard, Li Feng directly tore off his clothes and celebrated with his teammates!
