Chapter 252: Defeat in the Fifth Battle

The fifth game of the series was played at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was an extremely exciting game, and at the same time, it was an extremely tough battle.

In the first section, one came up George. Carl used the half-court trap tactic, and the object of the wrap was naturally the king of Los Angeles, Kobe. Bryant. It can be said that this tactic was extremely successful in the first quarter, because it allowed Kobe Bryant to shoot 3 of 10 in a single quarter, shooting only 30%. The score was 23-26 in the first quarter, and the Lakers trailed by 3 points.

Tang Qian got the opportunity to appear in the first quarter tonight because of his outstanding performance in the last game, contributing 2 rebounds and 1 steal in 1 minute and 59 seconds.

In the second quarter of the game, Nuggets player Aaron . Afflalo stepped up and shot 4-of-7 from the field in the first quarter to score 9 of the Nuggets' 23 points in the second quarter with a 57.1% shooting percentage. Most of the Lakers' players are collectively dumb, with the exception of Kobe Bryant and Barnes, the rest of them are shooting 0% from the field. The Nuggets' defensive rotation tonight was very good, and it barely gave the Lakers a little bit of room for invasion. But Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant after all, relying on the performance of 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, which can be seen by Nuggets head coach George. Carl could only shake his head silently. However, he did not feel frustrated, because Kobe Bryant broke through so fiercely in this quarter, and there will definitely be a physical crisis later. George. As the first opponent of the Lakers in the playoffs, Carl has been keenly controlled to this point, and the Black Mamba is not as physical as it was back then.

This is definitely something that can be put to good use.

To say George. Karl and Kobe Bryant are no strangers, having met the Los Angeles Lakers several times in the playoffs during his eight years at the helm of the Nuggets. Especially after Kobe Bryant "flew solo", he fought several battles, but the results were relatively miserable. Due to repeated setbacks in the playoffs, the Lakers could not pass this hurdle, which led to the Nuggets star Carmelo . Anthony decisively leaves for the Big Apple. So for the personal abilities of the Black Mamba, George. Carl was quite clear.

Before that, Kobe Bryant was a "physical monster", often fighting for consumption in the first three quarters, and still killing the Quartet in the fourth quarter. On this point, ordinary stars or even superstars cannot be compared. Anthony suffered this kind of loss that year, and he played against Kobe Bryant in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, he was a little unbearable, and his shooting percentage and competitive state declined sharply. But what about opponents? still integrates offense and defense, so that the Nuggets as a whole don't have the slightest temper. Can this year ......

George. Karl smelled a hint of decline, a misfortune for a great player, but a blessing for an average team.

If the series can be dragged into a tiebreaker, then maybe there is a real possibility of killing the Lakers!

Because the most reliable Mr. Key in Los Angeles is no longer at the top!

At halftime, the Lakers trailed the Denver Nuggets by 6 points at 43-49, and Tang Qian's halftime statistics were 4 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal and 1 assist.

"Damn, the Nuggets No. 6 is eating strong. Yang. Pills? Why did you shoot so accurately tonight? "Matt. After Barnes finished speaking, he asked Kobe: "Kobe, are you okay, is your physical energy enough?" "Aaron. Afralo is Kobe Bryant's main defense tonight, and it can't be said that the Black Mamba is not well defended, but it can only be blamed for tonight, the opponent is too accurate, and many balls that are usually not capable of shooting have fallen into the Lakers' basket one by one.

So Kobe Bryant defended very hard.

"It's okay, I'll kill him in the second half!" Kobe Bryant took a sip of his sports drink and said with a gloomy face.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant really fulfilled his words in the locker room and strangled Aaron on the defensive end. Afflalo, who made just 1 of 3 shots, also had 2 individual errors. At the same time, on the offensive end, he recovered his touch, shooting 4 out of 7 and adding 2 free throws, and scored 11 points in a single quarter again. But the Lakers' total score is getting bigger and bigger, and by the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides has become 65-76, and the score difference has widened to 11 points. The main reason for this is that in the first three quarters, the Lakers' interior offense was lackluster. Gasol shot 1 of 7 and Bynum shot 3 of 6, but he scored all of the "easy.ball" points in this game, and he did not appear once in a single with the ball. McGee's defensive impact. And in the 2011-2012 season, an All-Star starting center who earned nearly $15 million a year actually played "easy.ball" all the time. Brown was a little unbearable.

It's not that "easy.ball" is bad, easy to score, everyone wants to do it. If the owner of the nunnery is a bench player with an annual salary of several millions, then playing this kind of performance, Mike. Brown would definitely be appreciative. But the problem is that the owner of the nunnery is not, he is the existence of 18.7 + 11.8 + 1.9 in the regular season, how can this kind of all-star player always play "easy.ball"? You've played all the easy balls, what about the hard ones? Do you have to play role players?

Otherwise, you will "easy.ball" and personal strong eaters, pick the former, pick the easy, what kind of all-star player?

"Andrew, what are you doing? Didn't I say that I want you to take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to attack? The team can't open the inside line, how can Kobe Bryant play alone on the outside? "Mike. Brown shouted at the owner of the nunnery, who told him to let out "bold words" before the game started? If you can't finish the Nuggets tonight, it will definitely be a slap in the face! This is a detracting point for his Los Angeles head coaching career.

"I see." The owner of the nunnery said perfunctorily, but it could be seen that he had no desire to attack tonight.

Seeing the "ghost look" of the owner of the nunnery, Mike. Brown could only "pray" to Kobe: "Bryant, how are you?" Is your physical strength still enough? Do you want to come down and rest for a while? ”

"No, you don't." Kobe Bryant simply refused, tonight's "inside twin towers" are not in the state, if he doesn't step up again, then how can the Lakers win? In order to win, Bryant asked to keep playing. Even after the third quarter, he had been on the court for 33 minutes.

As soon as the fourth quarter went up, Kobe Bryant turned on the "personal scoring mode", bombing indiscriminately, two consecutive three-pointers, and "brushing" hits, which made George. Karl was in a cold sweat. And in order to win, the Black Mamba also defended Aaron with all his might. Afflaro, under the high-intensity sticking defense, Aaron. Afflalo shot worse than in the third quarter, shooting just 1-of-4 from the field and shooting just 25 percent from the field. But even so, even though Kobe Bryant scored 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, he still couldn't save the team, and in the last 15 seconds, the two sides tied 99-99, but an unexpected "spoiler" appeared. He is the veteran Andrey. Miller.

As a man born in '76, he is 2 years older than Kobe, but in this year's series, he is a well-deserved dark horse on the Nuggets bench. 11.3+5.6+6.0, the playoff contribution is extremely consistent, he used his rich playoff experience to play Andrew in the final moments. Bynum made an and.one and then made a solid free throw. Left to the Los Angeles Lakers, there are only 3.4 seconds left to attack.

Mike. Brown kindly helped Kobe Bryant set up a lore tactic, but was defeated by George. Carl's see-through, under the wrap of the two Nuggets players, Kobe Bryant forced a three-point line outside the shot, Duang~, the basketball hit the iron, and the basket collapsed.

At 99-102, the Los Angeles Lakers lost by 3 points, losing Game 5 of the series that could have advanced.

Tang Qian was suppressed by the "heart demon" in this game, and his competitive state fell by 21%, so in the end he only got 0 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block, 1 assist and 1 steal. Compared to the last one, it is really very different.

It's no wonder that Tang Qian, because tonight's Nuggets' interior line is in a brave state, if it is quantified by 100% of the regular season, then at least 150% of the competitive state tonight. Look at the data, Kenneth. Farid had 10 points and 10 rebounds, hitting all five shots and shooting 100 percent from the field. Look at Javier again. McGee, incredible, scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 assist on 9-of-12 shooting in 33 minutes! And this set of statistics is a proper top all-star, or even quasi-superstar data. How much better than McGee in the regular season?

Tang Qian bumped into it, which can only be described as unlucky.

A competitive state is weakened, a competitive state is improved, one is eliminated, and the strength and weakness can be distinguished at a glance.

ESPN's official website updated the homepage that night, Kobe Bryant scored 43 points to save the game, and the Lakers lost to Denver in the fifth game.

T.N.T has also updated its official website, 102-99, Andrey. Miller beats the Lakers 24+2+8!

The NBA's official website is concise and to the point, Lakers vs Nuggets, with a total score of 3-2.

"I want my teammates to wake up, the series isn't over yet." Kobe Bryant looked not very good-looking in the post-game interview.

Domestic.

The Lakers were killed, and Kobe's 43 points were useless. -- XXXX Net.

Tang Qian's performance was sluggish, the whole court was like sleepwalking, 0 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, what happened to him? -- XXXX Forum.

"Tonight, Tang Qian was tragically beaten by the Nuggets. Storm, I almost lost my pants! Look at the 16 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block of the owner of the hermitage, this is called an interior player! Tang Qian will definitely not be able to eat dumplings unless he eats them! ”

"Weak explosion! From today onwards, turn passers-by to Tang Qianfan! ”
