Yi Jianlian scored 13 points in the second quarter, five points less than Kobe Bryant's second quarter.

Plus the 10 points scored in the first quarter.

Yi Jianlian scored a total of 23 points in the first half.

Although he didn't break his career record for scoring in the first half, it was not far behind.

What's more, these 23 points are different from the previous 25.

Yi Jianlian's scoring skills showed throughout the first half, making layups, turning jumpers, hook hands, and air cuts...... One hand can't count Yi Jianlian's scoring method, which is the most surprising thing about Yi Jianlian's 23 points in the first half.

A month and a half of "downturn", if it can still be called a downturn, Yi Jianlian has completed a transformation during this time, it can be said that the previous Yi Jianlian is full of offensive spirituality, but there are also ways to restrict, such as forcing the ball to stop, and then such as making up defense after entering the three-second zone, etc.

And now Yi Jianlian, at least from Phil Jackson's point of view, wants to guard against this guy, it is not a simple matter.

One of his feet has stepped into the circle of All-Star power forwards......

***

"Thank you, Coach!"

Yi Jianlian thanked Xiao K, he has such a big transformation, it is not unrelated to Xiao K's arrangement, if it weren't for the latter arranging him on the defensive end for almost a month, let him learn to defend, I'm afraid that if he returns to the offensive end now, the effect will not be so good.

It was his preoccupation on the defensive end for a while that allowed him to read the defense on the offensive end more efficiently, and with every move Turyaf made subconsciously, he could know what the latter was trying to do, after all, he defended like that.

That's what allows him to choose the best finishing means on the offensive end.

Otherwise, even if he can still play a very efficient performance, judging from the scene, it will not be so easy.

"It's all your own effort!"

Xiao K is not greedy for merit, in his opinion, Yi Jianlian's performance today is completely the result of his own hard training, of course, he has to admit that this kid is indeed talented, and he can be proficient in hook hands and turn jumpers after feints to this point in such a short period of time.

In addition to genius, Xiao K really can't find other words to form an easy connection.

"Keep it up in the second half!"

"Okay, Coach Larry!"

***

The second half of the game began.

Bryant waited for Fisher's pass and made a direct jumper.

Fisher, who had just arrived in the front court, turned around and walked towards the backcourt, staying for less than a second.

This has been common throughout his career, and because of him, a new position was born in the league — the passing guard, also known as the dribble guard.

Like Chalmers, like Fisher.

But this time he got the assist, which made him feel a little bit better.

The Bucks put the ball in the hands of Yi Jianlian, and the Lakers changed their defensive strategy again, as long as he got the ball, he was resolutely wrapping it.

Yi Jianlian found a gap and hit the ball to Mo Williams, who attracted Kobe Bryant with a shooting feint, and then passed to Michael Reed, who scored easily and pulled the score back.

Fisher dribbled to the court again, gave it to Bryant, and stood at the three-point line to watch. Bryant took advantage of Odom's block to get to the basket, and after making contact with Bogut in the air, he pulled the rod with amazing waist and abdominal power and put the ball into the basket.

Pull the score away again.

Yi Jianlian received the ball and threw it, Turiav couldn't stop and was fouled, although the ball smashed out of the frame and failed to score, but Yi Jianlian hit both free throws to tie the score again.

The two teams that drew in the first half showed momentum from the start.

It is probably clear that at this point in the game, whoever has the initiative first will be equivalent to getting the initiative for the whole game.

Why does the Universe often exert force in the third quarter and take away the game in a wave, because the first half is still some time away from deciding the winner, and the third quarter is the key quarter that can really determine who wins and who loses.

Yi Jianlian suffered a bag during this time, resulting in him not scoring in the third quarter.

It's not good to say that the inside line is not good, you can only pass the ball when you encounter a bag, you look at Kobe, running wildly with the ball all over the court, and the bag can't be covered.

If only I had the ability to dribble.

Tut-tut!

The earth can't hold me!

"This way!"

Michael Reed's voice interrupted Yi Jianlian's brief distraction, and returned to reality in an instant, and he passed the ball without hesitation.

What a good vacant seat!

"Huh!"

“nice！”

The goal rang out with the praise, and Michael Reid gave Yi Jianlian a thumbs up.

Yi Jianlian pointed at him, which was a response.

Although Yi Jianlian did not score in this quarter, he had a lot of assists, and if he was not mistaken, he had already got 3 assists in this quarter alone.

No wonder the turtle is three pairs at every turn.

If you really pay attention to it, with the ball that Yi Jianlian now has on the offensive end, he estimates that he can also average a triple-double per game.

However, he definitely didn't want to play like this, it was too uncomfortable.

And Ah Gui got so many triple-doubles, but the fans' impression of him is getting worse and worse, and he won't do this kind of thankless thing.

About 5 minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers' package for Yi Jianlian finally stopped - Michael Reed and Mo Williams made Phil Jackson finally dare not let go like this anymore.

It's just that at this time, the players who defended Yi Jianlian also changed from Turyaf to Odom.

How do you rate Odom?

This is a fucking genius!

You can question everything about him, except for his talent in basketball.

Despite all the ridiculous things he did after that, he was one of the best sixth men in the league before he left Los Angeles.

A well-rounded style of play and a well-rounded style of play.

Yi Jianlian faced him, obviously more difficult than Turyaf.

Yi Jianlian first tried to hit him with his foot, but the ball bounced out of the frame, and he couldn't shake off Odom at all, and this guy's footsteps were also very flexible.

It's just that in the next round, Yi Jianlian scored in front of Odom!

Harness the power ......

Well, you heard it right, it's time for Yi Jianlian to finally have an advantage in strength!

Sitting directly inside, Odom's center of gravity was hit a little unstable, and at the same time, he immediately made a turnaround jumper and scored his first goal in the third quarter.

Phil Jackson didn't say anything, after all, Odom was the one who prevented Yi Jianlian's first attack.

He decided to give Odom another chance.

Odom was also very dedicated, but unfortunately, Yi Jianlian grabbed his life, and after asking for the ball, he sat and played, until he couldn't bear it, and after losing his center of gravity, he immediately turned around and jumped, and the ball hit again.

"Wow, I seem to have seen someone's way of playing when they were young, the same scoundrel!" Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley, Yi Jianlian's style of play must be very familiar to the latter.

It was in order to limit Barkley's style of play that the league introduced the "back to five seconds" rule.

Barkley has self-esteem, Kenny Smith compared Yi Jianlian's move with him, and suddenly became a little unhappy: "Hey, man, I won the regular season MVP with this trick, when will he reach such heights, come and compare with me!" ”

This is one of the few times in this game when Barkley has discussed that Yi Jianlian is not weak-minded.
