Chapter 369: Strength Crushing! (1/3)
Both teams fought in the third quarter! Belinelli scores back-to-back points under Walker's constant feeding!
Batum is good and bad, but it's not all without a touch.
In this quarter of the game, the Hornets hurried to the end, and the two sides were tied for the third time!
For the players on Charlotte's side, they have more peace of mind in their hearts?
This has something to do with the Lakers' reduced shooting accuracy later in the quarter.
The whole team will accompany you to see the three-point rain, if the operation is as fierce as a tiger! But it's a little embarrassing not to go in all the time.
79:79! The Hornets home fans were also emotionally mobilized at this time!
In their opinion, the team they are supporting at home now is evenly matched with the Lakers~
It was quiet on the Wasp's bench at this time...... They're waiting for their team to cheer for their team after they finally continue to lead the Lakers!
The Lakers paid attention to the time, and the players immediately played a little more conservatively.
Nance Jr. gets the ball to Randall as he gets tangled with Lamb.
The latter immediately used the body of Lore Deng next to him as a cover, retreated to the left to avoid the nimble Kaminsky, and hit a jumper from close range!
Then Belinelli got the basketball, Kobe Bryant followed directly, and finally the basketball passed to Batum, who got up and hit the iron with three points!
Kobe Bryant jumped up in the direction of the basketball and threw the ball out when he landed!
Li Feng, who had just arrived in the frontcourt, received the ball and made a layup to score points!!
There are 19.2 seconds left until the end of the quarter!
Walker took the ball directly to the front court by himself, and saw Kobe Bryant staring at Belinelli, he ran directly to Li Feng and hit a three-point shot!
There's still a lot of time for a round! The Hornets plan to take down the Lakers right away! And then there will be a wave of attacks!
Maybe you can get a three-pointer!
Kobe Bryant ran straight over! His actions immediately caught the attention of his opponents!
Coach Clifford didn't know who was going to attack the Lakers for a while! Kobe Bryant is not impossible, he is good at this!
But...... Before he could finish thinking about it, another possibility might be!
Nance Jr. was in neutral, but Lamb's speed was still up in time!
Lamb saw that Nance II was waiting for him to pass after receiving the ball, who could bear this?!
But Lamb, who was already in front of him, saw that Nance Jr. had passed the ball...... Li Feng got up and hit a three-point shot directly after receiving the ball on the other side!
86:82! The third quarter of the game is over! With 11 points behind, the Lakers also outscored their opponents by 4 points before the fourth quarter!!
......
Wharton: "You've been playing for so long today. You can rest, and leave the rest to Li Feng and they will finish it.
Russell is playing well right now. Isn't it? ”
What he didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant didn't want to play.
Kobe: "No! These guys want to win tonight?! I have to be there! You listen to me this time!! ”
Wharton: "Good ......"
When he arranged the game in the second quarter for Kobe Bryant to "one king with four bronze", the Hornets' unrelenting way of playing completely angered Kobe.
Wharton's idea is very simple, at your current age, you can play for a while, and during the regular season, the future will be long.
But Kobe Bryant couldn't persuade him tonight. All kinds of expressions of "don't listen to and don't listen to Wang Ba's chanting".
Clifford: "Batum, you and Kaminski need to pay more attention to their teammates and look for opportunities to pass the ball.
Be patient and don't rush! And the rest of the players will hurry up and score. I don't care about a few points, it's best to score three points......"
Batum was substituted late in the third quarter, but it didn't make much difference. Clifford also felt a lot of headaches.
At the critical moment, the score can't go up, and everyone is in a hurry.
In the fourth quarter, the lineup on the Hornets' side was Kaminski, Hawes, Batum, Walker and Belinelli!
The Lakers are Randle, Black, Kobe, Li Feng and Russell.
Anyway, so far in this game, the Lakers have basically controlled the situation. So Wharton doesn't compete with Kobe Bryant, and he can go up if he wants to.
In the last few minutes of the game, I will replace you again, and you Kobe Bryant can still have an opinion?
Russell rushed out as soon as the game started!
In the opposite position with Belinelli, he easily passed the opponent and rushed directly to the basket to score a jumper!
Kobe Bryant looked at this young man at this time, and it was indeed different from when he was at the beginning of the season.
Walker then dribbled to the front court and missed a 2-pointer from long range.
Li Feng took the ball and ran wildly for a few steps, and then passed the ball to Kobe Bryant in the half, who got up and hit a three-point shot after a big stride!!
......
By the middle of the fourth quarter, the game had lost its suspense. The efforts of the Hornets in the first half were in vain.
Bryant was substituted with 1:56 left to go. The final match ended with 120:107! Kobe, Li Feng and Russell were all present at the same time!
Although there are Kaminski and Walker on the other side, they are trying to keep up with the team's tempo. But it still can't stop the Lakers' crazy offense!
Bryant was ice-applied immediately after meeting the locker room, and then left the room with the team doctor.
The Lakers' winning streak seems to have begun! After this game, because there were several teams that lost. The Lakers went straight from 10th place in the West to 8th in the West!
The team wins 54.5%! Judging from the current ranking, the winning rate of the Western team in front of it is still a bit high.
The discussion of "the west is strong and the east is weak" has begun to be heated again on the Internet.
Kaminsky had 14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in this game! Marvin had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Batum had 18 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists! Walker 24 points, 6 assists and 5 assists! Belinelli 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists!
On the Lakers' side, Randle had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists! Luol Deng 10 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block! Kobe Bryant 32 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks! Li Feng 23 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists! Russell 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists!
Playing against the Lakers, the Hornets felt a sense of inadequacy in the late stages. This is due to the excessive disparity in strength.
To win against such a team, the Hornets will need to strengthen in the next games.
This is also the time they have tested the strength of this team in Los Angeles this season! It's really powerful......
In the evening, the team went out for entertainment~ Kobe Bryant went directly back to the hotel to rest. He asked a team doctor he trusted to follow him back to the hotel.
Mainly do another hour of muscle stretching.
Wharton couldn't help but go with these young people~ After these two games, the Lakers were a little nervous mentally.
Next up is a back-to-back game against the Toronto Raptors.
Although they are in Los Angeles, there is still a lot of pressure on them.
Wharton: "This kid, don't answer my phone~"
Nance: "I guess I'm crying~ let him not come with the team~"
Li Feng: "Who are you talking about?" ”
At this time, Li Feng, who was wearing a casual shirt, walked over and asked.
