For the rest of the second half, the Lakers were in a state of chaos.

The opponent's home aura seems to play a big role.

Nick Young struck a barrage with fans on the sidelines in the fourth quarter.

And the fans of the whole stadium seem to be celebrating in advance with the attitude of winners.

Bryant never showed up for the rest of the game, just wearing a suit over his shoulders, a brand new white shirt, suit pants and leather shoes in the locker room.

Just be there watching the news, listening to music, and meditating.

Kobe Bryant was also reminiscing, reminiscing about the group of guys who were in the locker room all those years ago.

When I was young, I either didn't get along with my teammates and didn't say a word.

Or after the game is half-time, he is in the locker room to vent his dissatisfaction and anger in front of his teammates and coaches!

In the evening, I went to the training room to train with Fisher.

On the way, I was still thinking about how this guy came to the NBA from his freshman year to his senior year?

He and O'Neill won the championship, and he and Gasol won the championship.

The teammates around me, the coach changed and changed. And in the process, my age is gradually getting older.

From Kobe's chaotic mood at the beginning of the game, to now, his heart is very calm.

This is something that Zen master Jackson said a lot back then.

He asked the players to meditate, to meditate.

In this situation, or in an environment where you don't usually have much contact, meditate and think alone.

Although it felt quite mysterious to the players at the time, Coach Jackson was the coach who brought out the Bulls dynasty!

They then won three championships as well.

79:67！ The third quarter was over, and the players were still very impatient.

The fourth quarter ended 99:90. The Jazz won their first game of the playoffs.

By the third quarter, the Lakers' physical fitness had dropped significantly due to altitude sickness.

Nick Young's performance is outstanding, and the team still has Randle and veterans under the basket, so that the team will not collapse immediately.

As soon as the camera was shown to Wharton, the scene was booed.

In the first playoff game, Wharton also reasoned with the referee many times.

But the other party didn't listen at all, and gave Wharton two verbal warnings!

......

Rudy 10 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks! Hayward 21 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists! Hood had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Hill had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Sherwin 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists!

On the Lakers' side, Zubac had 6 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and Randle had 8 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists! Nick Young 23 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists! Li Feng 26 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists! Lu Wei 17 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 3 steals!

The Utah Jazz played very consistently, and the Lakers really couldn't keep up with the opponent's offensive speed.

In terms of rebounding, the opponent limited the Lakers very strongly.

Zubac is now in the middle of a plethora of fouls again.

Although he can play, the opponent won't let you play, depending on whether you can play off the court.

Just like that, the Lakers were directly restricted.

Seeing that the Lakers were limited to this in the first playoff game of the first round, they almost could only score more than 80 points in the whole game.

This is similar to the Lakers in the regular season, who scored more than 115 points at every turn!

When they arrived in Salt Lake City, the Lakers' players felt like they were all blessed with a debuff that reduced to 35% of their stamina......

At this point, they were all aware of the physical training that Coach Wharton had given them during the regular season.

Without this training, they may not be able to fight back against the Jazz in the playoffs!

......

Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs.

The third quarter of the game has just ended, and the score is 82:73!

It's still the Energy Solutions Arena. The Lakers were still suppressed by the opponent at the beginning of the game and played until the end of the third quarter.

The difference between the Lakers players in this game is that their physical energy is depleted faster!

In the third quarter, the game couldn't keep up with the opponent at the beginning, until the first half of the score difference was only 3 points, and it was directly opened to 9 points after the end!

Li Feng has scored 35 points in the first three quarters of the game!!

In order to end the first round of the game as soon as possible, the Lakers must beat the Jazz as soon as possible!

With a score difference of 9 points, there should be hope to win them!

Kobe Bryant still didn't play in this game.

He simply flew back to Los Angeles with the Lakers physiotherapists.

Now watching the game, the Black Mamba doesn't feel like there's any point. Just go back and continue to cultivate.

At this time, the lineup on the Jazz side of the fourth quarter game was Rudy, Hayward, Feifus, Hill and Sherwin!

On the Lakers' side, Zubac, Randle, Ingram, Li Feng and Lowe are in order!

Although I used three physical candies, it felt like I was on fire in my throat at this time, but it was so real!

The third quarter played 29 minutes!!

Wharton felt particularly distressed as he watched from the sidelines.

Basically, the Jazz team is going to prevent Li Feng from death today!

Two or three people go and take turns defending! Li Feng's physical energy is consumed very quickly!

Sneakers break a pair directly in the scramble! Three bruises on the left shoulder!

The Jazz team thinks that Li Feng is indeed quite capable, if he is an ordinary player, he would have started to defend like this today!

But Li Feng has never been angry, even if he was put to the ground by two people with their arms pinned in the second quarter.

The referee is still blowing the whistle on the home team.

Many players on the Lakers' side now don't even have the strength to quarrel......

Li Feng: "Run!" Run! As soon as you stop, the game is over! ”

At this time, Li Feng, who got the basketball, was anxious when he saw his teammates slowing down!

Now they are the ones behind in the game! But the Lakers players on the scene felt that their brains were going to be deprived of oxygen......

Running is a way to run, but the brain feels like it's going to break at every turn.

I'm struggling until now!

On the other side, Hill and Sherwin were still staring at Li Feng's every move.

The basketball came to Randle, whose layup was directly slapped by Rudy and the ball flew away!

Hayward crossed the half court after receiving a pass from a teammate and finally hit a three-point shot with no defenders!!

85:73！ The uncomfortable deafening cheers rushed to the ears of the Lakers like a tsunami!

Makes the Lakers players despair.

Li Feng didn't care anymore, just go on his own!

When the opponent found out, the four players immediately defended it together.

In the end, Li Feng passed two people in a row, but he was knocked away by the other party here in Feifus!!

The basketball threw an iron, and Wharton yelled directly at the two referees on the sidelines!

There was a boo! Wharton was then ejected on the spot by a referee!

Wharton was so angry that he tried to punch the referee with a tactical board, but was eventually dragged out by three security guards and two Lakers staffers......

Whether it's the regular season or the last playoff game, it's been made public in the media that there are many times when it was indeed a miscalculation.

But a misjudgment is a misjudgment, and the referee association said that it would deal with it, but it didn't give much punishment.

In the game, all kinds of things are still under Wharton's nose, but they don't blow penalties.

By this time, the game had misjudged the Lakers in 11 places. But this is the home of the Jazz.

Li Feng felt his head buzzing.

Feffus: "Keep breaking through?!" Can't you believe me if I give you an arm?

Their coach is still angry! Don't you know what the referee has to do when you go to the field? Wharton should be allowed to play basketball for a few more years, at least knowing how to respect the referees! ”

Quietly walked to the sidelines, and Li Feng returned to the game after telling the assistant coach that he was fine.

He didn't argue with Pfeifers about anything.

Wharton and Faifers had a few words just now, and this time Li Feng passed the ball to Ingram, who immediately dodged Hayward and hit a three-point jumper!

What Li Feng wants in this game is victory! He doesn't care about the rest.

The best result is that the Lakers can win 4:1! Advance to the next round!

Without the Lakers head coach on the sidelines, the Jazz players relaxed a lot, but then they made more mistakes.

......

91:89！ The Lakers are only 2 points behind the opponent at this time!

The Jazz asked for the last timeout of the game.

The Lakers coaching staff came to the sidelines to watch, and they didn't have much to say when the players returned.

Just let them see Wharton's tactical play just now, and then they didn't care.

Walton also said in a meeting with the assistant coaches before the game that he would try to let the Lakers players solve some problems on their own on the court.

Only when they are able to solve many problems on their own initiative can some tactics have their application meaning.

During the regular season, Wharton was influenced by a number of Zen masters.

The main thing is to get in touch with Coach Jackson and go to him.

Chatting with the two Zen masters, who have just resigned from their positions as the president of operations of the Knicks.

Wharton took the notebook and talked and jot.

Nick Young couldn't play today, and Zubac has now committed five fouls.

There were no substitutions for either team, and Hayward came back and went straight past Randle and hit a three-point shot!

At this time, Li Feng felt as if he had just finished raining.

The sweat on my head slid down like a soybean grain!

Li Feng continued to attract the opponent's vitality, Ingram received Li Feng's pass and turned to shoot causing Rudy to foul, and then hit 2 free throws!

Undoubtedly, if the Lakers win, Li Fengfeng will be the first contributor to tonight's game!

There are still three points left between the two sides, and the game is about to end!

Hill quickly rushed to the front court at this time, directly passed Lu Wei in several confrontations, and then hit a 2-point shot!

Li Feng passed half the game, and the fans at the scene stood up to watch the game at this time!

"Defend! Defend! Defending ......"

In the end, Li Feng was defended by the opponent's three, and hit a long-distance three-point hollow shot!!

96:94！ Hayward held the ball again, but this time he didn't choose to shoot.

Rudy took the ball and turned around and scored with a dunk!

Then the Jazz directly took the full-court pressing defense! Li Feng took the ball to the front court again, and then was knocked down by Shervin!

Hill stretched out his leg and tripped Li Feng's right leg, and then Feifus directly pushed Li Feng!

People and balls fly straight out of the field!

The referee directly awarded the Jazz the ball!

The players on the Lakers bench excitedly said on the sidelines that the referee had fouled the opponent, but they still ignored it.

Then Sherwin missed a three-pointer, and Ingram got the ball and wanted to score a layup.

But in the end, after being caught up by Hayward, he gave Ji a big hot pot!

Then Hill hit a three-pointer! 101:94！ Li Feng immediately passed the half and directly returned three points!

Zubac defended Hayward and fouled six fouls, and Lore Deng came over to fill the gap.

Hayward hit 1 of 2 free throws, and Lowe hit a 2-point shot in the last 6 seconds of the front court!

In the end, the Jazz didn't give the Lakers a chance to foul, and the second game ended 102-99!

If Wharton had been at the scene just now, it was estimated that he might have been directly air-blown up.

In this game, Rudy got 7 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks! Hayward had 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists! Hill 16 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists!

On the Lakers' side, Zubac had 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists! Ingram had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists! Li Feng 42 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists!!

In the playoffs, the Lakers lost two games in a row, as expected by the media.

But to their surprise, the Lakers officially announced that night that Kobe Bryant would return in Game 3!

At this time, Kobe Bryant's back injury still exists, but he can't wait, and if he continues like this, the team will be swept by the Jazz.

Everyone was excited to hear the news, but Kobe Bryant was never seen in training.

It wasn't until three hours before the game that Kobe Bryant came to the arena with several Lakers team doctors.

While trying out, Kobe Bryant communicated with them.

Eventually, several team doctors came to Wharton's side, and Wharton frowned at first, but gradually his performance began to become happy.

Wharton: "So that means he's got a back injury?"

That's great! Thank you so much for your treatment! ”

Team Doctor: "Mr. Bryant isn't a big problem this time, but we're thinking about whether his back injury will break out on the field and so on.

That's why he was advised not to play, and we've been following him for the last few days and we've found out that he's fine."

Wharton: "He's not going to relapse in the game, is he?" I mean the problem of back injury."

Team doctor: "There is very little chance of a recurrence because yesterday we followed him all day and gave him some treatment. ”

Bryant: "Zubac. Come over here. ”

Zubac: "......"

Kobe: "I'm not very happy with your first two games.

Knowing that the other party is restricting you with fouls, you still go for all kinds of fouls?

Ah, you don't have to explain it to me. This is compatible, with fewer fouls and an effective defense against the opponent.

You're doing a good job offensively and defensively at the moment, but I'm going to ask you to think about that in the third game.

And, don't let me see you continue to foul multiple times in Game 3. ”

Zubac: "Okay then"

Kobe nodded, and then came to Li Feng.

Li Feng: "After losing two games in a row, I didn't organize the game. I ......"

Kobe: "Who's to blame you?" You did the best, I should say I didn't show up in the first two games, you don't blame me, do you? ”

Li Feng: "Of course not"

Kobe Bryant: "Just keep playing with what you've been able to do in the first two games." ”

The Black Mamba suddenly approached Li Feng's ear, and after speaking to him, he went to Randall's again.

In the past few days, in addition to communicating with the Lakers' team of doctors and his own personal doctor, he has been constantly watching the first two games.

I have to say that the Jazz are really doing well.

They make good use of their good defensive ability, home-court advantage and their tempo control to suppress the play of the Lakers players.

......

Staples Arena.

Although its own arena is not as lively as the Jazz's devil's home court.

But when the players returned to their home stadiums, they felt relaxed.

Kobe: "Pevers, I heard that you quarreled with Wharton in the last game, and then turned your head to quarrel with Li Feng?" ”

Fevers: "What? Isn't it possible? ”

Bryant: "Yes. You quarrel with me in this game~"

Pevers: "......"

Kobe: "What? Don't dare? Coach Wharton was sent off at the time, so naturally he didn't have time to argue with you.

Li Feng has been scoring seriously for the sake of the team, and he doesn't have time to take care of you. But I can argue with you."

Pevers: "Watch us sweep your Lakers!"

When the time comes, you repeat what you just said to me again, what do you think Kobe?

Your time has passed! James doesn't have a few years to play, what's the use of you telling me this now? ”

Bryant: "Good. But one thing you're wrong. ”

Pfeifus: "Tell me? ”

Bryant: "You're not qualified to ask me to talk to you repeatedly. ”

Pevers: "I ......"

Hayward: "Alright! Bryant. I apologize to you for being a little reckless in some parts of the last game.

Let's have a good game, what do you think? ”

Kobe: "You should learn more about how Hayward speaks, Faifers." ”

Without answering Pevers's words, Bryant continued to talk to Fevers in the eye, looked at Hayward, and walked back.

Pevers: "Why did you come here to stop us?" I'm not going to fight with him again."

Hayward: "You know who he is, just talk to him like that?" Crazy? ”

Pevers: "......"

Apparently Hayward was a little angry and went back to warm up after talking to him, leaving Feves there with a puzzled look.

In the playoffs, the Jazz can be said to be veterans.

While they couldn't make it to the Western Conference Finals, they were able to mix in the first and second rounds of the playoffs.

Although the Lakers are now in the playoffs, they are very inexperienced in the playoffs.

Many Lakers players have obviously shown this, and if there is no Li Feng in front of them, they will lose even more.

Even with Kobe Bryant and Li Feng on the team, it will be difficult for the Lakers to win.

This season, the Lakers made the playoffs and were then eliminated in the first round.

This is not easy for them.

Although there are many fans who support the Lakers online, there are also Lakers fans.

But on the vote on whether the Lakers can advance in the second round.

Only 35% of voters think the Lakers can advance, and 56% think the Lakers can't make the playoffs! The remaining 9 per cent were voted for the uncertain column.

The media is even more one-sided that the Jazz can easily qualify.

The worst win was a 4-1 win over the Lakers to advance to the second round.

On one end is the experienced Utah Jazz, who have the devil's home court, and on the other end are the Los Angeles Lakers, who have not made the playoffs for many years.

Comparing the two, we know that the Jazz will have a better chance of winning.

But Lakers fans don't think so, because the Lakers have a team Koi Li Feng!

Since Li Feng came to the alliance, he has brought good luck~

Soon the main players of both teams came to the field tonight.

On the Jazz side, in that order, Rudy, Fapfus, Hayward, Hill and Sherwin.

The Lakers are Zubac, Randle, Kobe, Li Feng and Nick Young!

Zubac did think about what went wrong after the conversation with Kobe Bryant.

In the final games of the regular season, he did get foul on the rise.

If it is said that the referee deliberately targeted him, this possibility can basically be ruled out.

He's not a Wharton coach......

One reason is more likely, and that is the result of overconfidence.

When you are overconfident, you may be able to increase the range of action in the game.

I think I wouldn't foul even if I did, but the truth is, I fouled too many times.

Therefore, it is necessary to deliberately avoid such a situation in the game.

There are not many good statistics and fouls, and there is not much contradiction in nature.

Just thinking about the referee throwing the ball, Rudy will go to Hill after getting the ball first!

Today's game is important for the Lakers! If they lose to each other again, then the Lakers will probably not be able to beat their opponents.

Because of the 3:0 situation, it is extremely difficult to turn the tables now!

At this time, the Jazz had a 2-0 lead.

Sherwin soon received a pass and found Nick Young defending.

So he will pass it to Hayward, and then Hayward and Kobe Bryant will play against each other!

The fans at the scene immediately cheered!

In the end, the two continued to entangle, Hayward hit a three-point iron, but Rudy dunked and scored after getting the basketball in time!

Although on the Lakers' home court, the Jazz's side has been in solid form.

Li Feng held the ball across the half court, and soon Nick Young was in front of Sherwin after receiving the basketball!

The two continued to confront, and finally Nick Young decisively shot three points into the net!

The fans at the scene immediately cheered!

It's so comfortable to be back at home! This is what Nick Young has felt many times today!

Without the "physical debuff" of the opponent's Devil's home court, the Lakers players feel that they have more energy to play against each other again!

Hayward was going to go straight to the front court after the basketball, and then Hill scored on a jumper from Li Feng!

Bryant received the basketball, faced the defense of Hayward and Fepfers, and finally easily passed the two and scored a jumper under the bag of Rudy and Sherwin!

Under the defense of four people, the Black Mamba went to shoot and score as if no one was in a no-man's land!

The Lakers fans at the scene were boiling at this time!

This Lakers team also needs several stars to play on the court and share the pressure with each other.

In the past few years, there was only Kobe Bryant, and when the ability of the rest of the players was insufficient, they couldn't even play well in the regular season.

Li Feng felt a little more relaxed. Back on the Lakers' home court, their style of play will also change somewhat.

First of all, here they can play freely, the quick and decisive style of play will not appear, and the quick breakthrough and scoring-based play will continue to be practical!

In the regular season, the Lakers' three-point rain will appear at every turn!

As long as this game runs properly, the Lakers can also use this to contain the opponent immediately!

At this time, Hill held the ball and Li Feng was in the opposite position, and soon the basketball came to Hayward, and Randle and Kobe Bryant immediately defended seriously.

Sherwin misses three points after receiving the ball!

Just when the Jazz saw Zubac get the rebound, the basketball was thrown directly to Kobe!
