Chapter 449: On the Same Stage (1/3)

The Lakers were clearly in much better shape today than in the previous two games.

The Jazz have felt this and are becoming cautious on the court.

Kobe Bryant's offense is as unstoppable as if he is hanging, and it doesn't matter. Li Feng also has shooting accuracy, just pay attention.

Back then, the little giant and Maddie were together, so they were eliminated in various ways.

Enter the playoffs once, eliminate them once, and enter the playoffs once and eliminate them once.

In terms of rhythm control, unless the opponent is very strong! Otherwise, there is generally nothing to be done about them with the Jazz.

The Utah Jazz have that confidence in this.

The Lakers have indeed played well this season, but with their current position, playing against the Jazz is a loss.

It's good to have experience, after all, after Kobe Bryant retires, if he wants to enter the playoffs, unless James comes over......

Hayward cautiously crossed the half court after getting the ball at this time, and sometimes the game is not afraid of the opponent, but of the pig teammates.

When Favers and Coe suddenly got into an argument before the game, Hayward had a bad feeling.

That kind of game hasn't started yet, and the opponent has some strength, but the teammates are all kinds of provocative at the beginning.

This is invisibly buffing the opponent.

Kobe Bryant immediately set his sights on him, and the Lakers were very positive as a team today!

The two teams were evenly matched, and the game was not easy to play.

Rudy eventually got the basketball, and today he found that Zubac was not as aggressive defensively.

It was much more difficult to make a foul on him, and he ended up shooting a 2-pointer himself.

The Lakers are silently wrestling with the Jazz as if they are suppressing an angry lion.

Some of the Jazz players didn't think it was going to be anything, but Hayward felt the tempo of the game might not be too well controlled.

Li Feng dribbled over half the court, and Hill, who was defending him today, felt a lot of pressure, because Li Feng could free his hands to concentrate on playing with one of his defenders!

You must know that in the last game, he and the Jazz team almost played around the whole team, and he could still score more than 40 points!

As he expected, Li Feng today is still very tough!

After passing him directly, let Pevers under the basket receive a foul and play 2+1!

Coach Schneider watched from the sidelines as it just happened. Lost in thought.

Shelvin passed the half, and when he was dealing with Nick Young, he was directly cut off by the black man's question mark!

Then Kobe Bryant received his pass and hit a three-point shot shortly after!

The Jazz quickly called for a timeout.

......

26:20! Today the situation was completely reversed, and the Lakers were controlling the tempo of the game on the spot.

At this time, Burris replaced Rudy to play at the center position of the Jazz.

Time is running out for the live game.

The Lakers, led by Kobe and Li Feng, have increased their combat power by more than one level!

Feves and Hayward switched defenses, and by this time Faeves had already received three fouls......

There is no temper in front of Kobe.

Hayward only asked Kobe to open Bryant to appear more calm in the offense.

And after Feves met Kobe, his stats seemed to stop.

The number of mistakes is increasing. But the manager doesn't want to pause.

He can only continue to play against Kobe Bryant on the court.

Hayward seized the opportunity to quickly get past Randle and scored a layup!

Li Feng passed the half, passed the ball to Nick Young, and the latter decisively hit a three-point jumper!

The Lakers' assistant coaches each have a plan at this point.

Wharton only needs to communicate with his opponents when he makes tactical adjustments.

Sherwin seized the opportunity of Nick Young's slackness at this time and scored three points back!

……

33:29! The Jazz didn't average more than 105 points in the regular season, while the Lakers scored more than 110 points!

When discussing how to beat the opponent, one of them is that the Lakers will chase the score.

If the score is over 105, the possibility of the opponent losing will increase!

In the first quarter, the Lakers scored 33 points.

The Jazz team directly felt like they couldn't catch up.

Russell: "Since everyone is here to win the game, then I don't have much to say"

Nick Young: "It's all about the team"

Wharton: "Good! Russell remembers passing more to Nick Young and Li Feng. The team depends on everyone."

In the second quarter, Rudy replaced Pevers, and the Lakers' lineup was Mozgov, Randle, Nick Young, Li Feng and Russell.

The match was the first time that Nick Young and Russell had played together since they had a falling out earlier in the season.

If this game is lost, the Lakers will basically say goodbye to the playoffs.

It's fair to say that this is a game that the Lakers have to win, and now how can they make the Lakers play better?

Under the premise that Li Feng and Kobe Bryant are free to rotate, the team can still show good strength, which is what the Lakers should do most.

Nick Young has very good physical strength to support him, while Russell can also organize the team quickly when he breaks well.

Li Feng can't let him organize the game all the time, which is a big waste for a good scoring guard.

Zubac went down to rest, and he picked up only one foul in the first quarter.

The Lakers played well in the early stage, and Hill rushed to the front court with the ball at this time.

Soon he was stopped by Li Feng! After Shervin got the ball, he used his good confrontation ability to pass Russell!

Then the jumper scores! 33:31!

The other party was not in a hurry at this time, so he was fighting with the Lakers.

Russell received Nick Young's serve at this time, and the facial expressions of the two did not change.

Since everyone wants to win, there's not much to say.

Li Feng immediately received Russell's pass, the black question mark got his through pass and found that he couldn't break through, Russell received a pass from Nick Young and hit a three-point jumper!

The opponent is good at slowly consuming with the Lakers, if you talk about following the tactics, which team uses it well.

The Jazz are definitely one, and the feeling that you can't use your strength all the time can make you uncomfortable.

This quarter, the Lakers still need to score quickly.

This is the best way to effectively suppress your opponents.

Hill got the basketball and passed the ball to Burris in opposition to Li Feng. The latter was countered by Randall and eventually severed.

Nick Young rushed over as soon as he got the ball!

At this time, the cheers of the scene sounded again.

In the case of no defense, the emoji directly pulls out the jump shot and hits the three-point shot!

39:31! The Lakers started the second quarter well.

The Jazz coach looked a little serious on the sidelines at this time.

He immediately called Hayward over and told him to score first.

Wait until the third quarter to rest him.

Now the Jazz are a little unmoving. And Hayward's main meaning is to let the first break out.

Wait for the team's score difference to narrow by about the same, and then play team cooperation.

Whenever there is a problem with offensive efficiency, Yao constantly tries to make adjustments.

Hayward got the basketball, and it was relatively easy to play Nick Young at this time.

The two continued to fight each other until Nick Young was finally passed by Hayward.

The latter immediately made a pull-up jump shot and scored 2 points!

Li Feng received a pass from his teammates at this time and began to deal with the opponent's Hill!

Purple Ray Allen's Dribbling Skill Pack and Purple Pin's exclusive Maddie Shooting Pack!

Today Li Feng only uses these two skill packs to fight on the opposite side!

The good power control and shooting feel of the legs made the Jazz players feel more headaches.

Hayward gets basketball again! After Li Feng hit a three-point shot just now, he replied in time!

Russell dribbled the ball across the half court at this time, and in the face of Shervin's defense, he rushed to the opponent's basket and scored a layup!

45:38! The Lakers team with Kobe Bryant and Li Feng has greatly increased the confidence of the players!

And Wharton also mobilized before the game, and now they have to fight with each other and win this game so that they will not be eliminated by their opponents in the first round!

Hayward held the ball again, this time without a three-pointer, and Hill got the rebound and immediately got a jumper blocked by Mozgov.

When Nick Young saw the basketball, he immediately made a long pass to Li Feng, who got up directly after half the court and hit a three-point shot!

The other side is about to take a timeout.

In the end, the first half of the game ended with 65:53!

......

In the fourth quarter, the opponent chased the difference to 103:100!

At this time, the Lakers were overtaken by the opponent by 3 points!

Wharton wants to take a timeout and replace Kobe Bryant! And the opponent's lineup has also become the game lineup in the second quarter! But the team stopped letting Hayward break points and began to play team basketball.

Finally, at this time, the Jazz team ushered in a turning point!

A 3-point difference is not much for them.

Kobe Bryant held the ball over half the court at this time, and passed the ball to Li Feng under the opponent's three-man package, and the latter hit a three-point shot!

The whole Lakers team changed to a full-court tight defense!

Eventually, the basketball went to Hill, who missed a jumper! After receiving the ball in the front court, Lu Wei immediately scored three points into the net!

At this point, there was no pause on either side.

109:100!

Then the Jazz missed again, and Kobe Bryant directly scored three points into the net!

Hayward got the basketball again, and today's game is basically coming to an end so far.

......

117:109! Although the Jazz knew they were going to lose at the time, they followed the Lakers until the end.

Such an opponent makes the Lakers feel quite difficult.

This is the late point difference was pulled away by Li Feng, Kobe Bryant and Lu Wei, what if it wasn't pulled away?

The consequences are unimaginable.

With the score very close, it is still very difficult to win against the Jazz.

Bryant didn't feel any discomfort after the game.

It seems that it is really fine. And after the return of the Black Mamba, it is no longer so difficult for the Lakers to have two stars!

Rudy has 7 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks! Burres 9 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists! Hayward 39 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists! Hill had 15 points, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Sherwin had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

Until the end, the Jazz failed to overtake the Lakers. The team mainly relied on Hayward to get some points.

This game, they have to rethink how to deal with the Lakers.

Because when Kobe Bryant returns, the variables of the game will increase!

Before the playoffs began, there was no Kobe Bryant in their response plan.

It's a big deal to win three games in a row, and Kobe Bryant is back.

Can he still make a history and make a successful comeback in a 3:0 situation?

But before they could make it 3-0, Kobe Bryant returned. And got a win with the team!

On the Lakers' side, Zubac had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists! Randle 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Kobe Bryant 31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists! Li Feng 19 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists! Nick Young 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists!

Bryant: "I'm back. My team and I will easily make it to the next round. ”

After the game, when the reporter asked Kobe Bryant what he wanted to say to the audience, Kobe Bryant picked up the microphone and said to the fans at the scene.

......

Soon came the fourth game of the playoffs, and the Lakers finally lost to the Jazz 106-107 at home!

But in the next two games, they were won!

3:3! At present, in the first round of games, only the Jazz and the Lakers have entered the seventh game!

Game 5: The Lakers beat the Jazz 109-107! The sixth game was 95:93!

The Lakers aren't chasing too many points with each other right now. Because sometimes you can't score even if you want to.

The two teams began to play until the end of the game.

But the Jazz have only now discovered a problem...... That is, when it comes to finishing games, the Lakers do a better job than they do.

Because Li Feng and Kobe Bryant's finishing ability is much stronger than them.

When it comes to crunch time, the Jazz are indeed more stable, but in the end, it depends on who can score the final points.

The first two games were the final word for the Lakers!

Li Feng made a lore, and a pass to Kobe, and then Kobe Bryant completed the lore!

As the playoffs progressed, Lakers players threw several pairs of shoes.

They are all sneakers that are worn out after a few games on the field!

In the last seventh game, except for Kobe and Li Feng, the rest of the players were actually a little apprehensive.

They don't know if they can win the Jazz qualifying game.

If they make the cut, can they eliminate the next opponent?

These questions are a headache for them.

In the regular season, they still think that the Lakers may really make it to the Western Conference Finals?

But now, the intensity of the playoffs has put them off a bit.

The competition is too intense! In the first five and sixth games, during the game, the mood of some Lakers players fluctuated greatly.

Wharton: "After the sixth game, I didn't have any targeted training.

That's because in the final game, I want you to be able to make some adjustments on the pitch without me talking about it.

If you can't do it, listen to Li Feng's advice on the field. Or let Russell organize the game.

The previous games are all over, so this last game is left...... Just hit it seriously. ”

Originally, Wharton wanted to say that he didn't pay attention to this game at all.

Unbeknownst to the players, Walton and the coaching staff started discussions about the second round last night.

Because since Wharton wants to play in the Western Finals, he wants to fight for the championship. He can't take the first round too seriously.

He has to prepare for the next games!

Game 7 was played in Salt Lake City, the Jazz's Energy Solutions Arena.

Unlike the first game of the playoffs, although the fans at the scene cheered fiercely.

Some of the Lakers' players feel quieter here.

Because in today's game, they have one thing on their minds, whether they can advance to the second round or not, it depends on this seventh game!
