Chapter 295, refusing to lose two in a row

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant almost had a triple-double, contributing 36 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, but he also made 5 turnovers, and the Lakers made a whopping 17 turnovers in the game. Pau Gasol had 23 points and 9 rebounds, Huang Yu still had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists despite his average shooting percentage in this game, and Artest scored 12 points.

Kobe Bryant went to the post-game interview with the Zen master with a black face, Huang Yu looked at his figure that was fading away, and sighed in his heart, "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the old nature has to take the blame!" ”

Obviously, those reporters will not let Kobe Bryant go, and will definitely have all kinds of tricky questions to stimulate Kobe's little emotions, once Kobe Bryant expresses his dissatisfaction with whom, tomorrow's newspaper will definitely add this person to the transaction where Huang Yu appeared!

However, after so many years in the league, Kobe Bryant can't be unprepared, if you make excuses, it's actually a lot, Kobe Bryant didn't pick those problems that are easy to put pressure on players.

"They defended better than we did today, and our defense made a mess..........

Did the Lakers lose, and they lost a bit outrageously today, like a remake of the first-round series, but lost to something unspeakable? Or is it really a mess of defense?

It is said that there is such a thing as a home whistle, and in the Stamp Center, the home whistle Huang Yu has also felt it, I believe it doesn't have to be worse today, but like today, is the Sun overly biased, the Lakers are the same as the first round of the series, and the number of free throws is almost 10 less than the opponent! Is the opponent defending well? Apparently not.

Suns players break through - Lakers players defend - referees whistle blows, and then make free throws, such a development trajectory is Odom graduation, Gasol 3 fouls, Bynum 4 fouls,

In this game, the Lakers made 16/20 free throws, and the Suns 37/42, and the difference between the free throws of the two teams was more than half, so the Suns won by 9 points, and finally the Suns defeated the Lakers 118-109.

----------

The Lakers players kept silent and concentrated on training after the game, for fear that the Grim Reaper's gaze would come to them, and even Odom and Bynum didn't dare to play!

"Andrew! The next game is not a break! ”

The assistant coach asked after the team doctor examined Bynum's knee injury.

"What does the coach mean?"

Bynum was stunned, although he couldn't believe it, but the assistant coach would ask this, which should represent the Zen master.

"Yes, the team doctor and coach reported that your knee condition is not optimistic, so to be on the safe side, taking a break from a game will help relieve the pressure on your knee!"

The assistant coach was actually helpless and was expelled to communicate with Bynum, and as soon as he saw Bynum's expression, he knew that he didn't pay attention to yesterday's post-game interview at all!

The Zen master revealed in an interview after the game that Bynum's knee injury has become more serious, and he is considering letting his starting center rest, and he may not be arranged to play in the fourth game two days later, and he is also changing direction to give Bynum only 2 points, 2 rebounds and 4 fouls in 8 minutes to divert attention!

"My knee pain isn't very bad and I can live with it! My performance in the last game was not good, it was they who targeted the inside and aimed at me to shoot! But I'm not ready! ”

Bynum is a bit silly though! But it's definitely not stupid, if you rest at this time, once the Lakers win the next game, you don't have to think about it! And he was also sad about the Zen master's approach, which was obviously distrustful of himself, even if he was indeed worried about his injury! But you let the assistant coach test me, do you really have to be stupid?

----------

The Lakers have not yet made a conclusion on whether to let Bynum break the fourth game, the fourth game between the Magic and the Celtics has already opened, and the Magic, who were forced to the edge of the cliff, lost the home court advantage and fell behind by a large score, whether to be swept or fought against the water, for the sake of dignity, to give him a stab at the Celtics' home court!

There is no way back for the Magic, it can be said that the first three games were pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Celtics, although the second game of the series was more anxious, but it has been suppressed!

Losing this game, the Magic will face being swept away, and last year's Finals were swept to make the Magic team a little deficient, and this year's East Finals will come again, it is estimated that even if the Magic Beast does not make trouble, the Magic will begin to rebuild!

So after the opening of this game, the Magic went all out to attack, and the shooting success rate that became criticized in the first two games was much higher than the previous games. With 7:22 left in the first quarter, the Monster scored a dunk in the air to give the Magic a five-point lead over the Celtics at 14-9.

Although the Celtics were unhurried to narrow the gap several times, they only trailed by three points at 26-29 with 44.5 seconds left in the quarter, but Lewis, who was almost pointed out by Qianfu in the last game, seized the Celtics' mistakes, received a pass to the frontcourt, and took advantage of the fact that the Magic players were not completely in place, and directly came to a chase three-pointer! Help the Magic end the first quarter 32-26.

Lewis had a good hand, and hit a three-point shot shortly after the start of the second quarter, and the Magic continued to expand the advantage at 35-28, the first three games were unsatisfactory, and the performance in the last game made him even more heavy in the game, but with a few three-point shots, although the whole person was a lot easier, but the boulder on the body still did not shrink.

And in this game, the performance of the monster under the basket was also tougher, not only did it win frequently, but even the free throws that dragged its feet only missed 3, and there were 17 points in the first half. The Magic led 51-47 in the first two quarters, their first first-half lead in the series.

Although the first half of the Monster was very good, and soon after the start of the third quarter, another aerial relay dunk was successful, allowing the Magic to continue to expand the lead, but the good times did not last long, and the Monster continued to eat offensive and defensive fouls, and the individual accumulated his fourth foul and had to go to rest.

The Celtics seized the opportunity to start a comeback, ending the quarter with a 6-0 run and a 68-67 lead before the end of the third quarter, while the Magic didn't score a point in the final four minutes of the quarter.

JJ Reddick, who came off the bench at the beginning of the fourth quarter, made a name for himself (if you don't know who he is, you can check the Spring Festival to send blessings, Redick changed Chinese fans to chink fans because he felt the pronunciation was weird, although I didn't see the video interview, I don't know if it was a pronunciation problem, or someone deliberately translated it like this, but looking at the league's practice of letting Jeremy Lin come out to wash the floor, it is estimated that it is eight or nine and ten! He hit two three-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and single-handedly scored the first seven points of the Magic in the quarter, leading the bench to play a 7-2 offensive run to help the Magic go ahead 74-70, but the Magic was dumb in the next 3 minutes, and the Celtics scored six points in a row to take a 76-74 lead, and this round of matchups finally had a life-and-death tension in the playoffs.

The Monster came on the court in the second half of the fourth quarter, and as soon as he came up, he cooperated with Nelson again, and scored an aerial relay dunk, which was his fourth aerial relay dunk in the game, and he also caused a foul on the defender, and the free throw ball also hit smoothly, and scored 3 points with free throws, and the Magic led 85-78.

But Pierce went toe-for-tat, immediately broke through the heavy dunk and returned the color, and successfully defended the Magic's offense, after assisting Ray Allen to hit a three-point shot, Pierce received a pass from Rondo and quickly broke through the inside to score a three-point shot, and the Celtics played a wave of 8-1 to tie the score at 86-86.

The Magic's offensive mistake at a critical moment was stealed by the Celtics, but Pierce's missed shot gave the Magic a chance to breathe, but after the Magic also missed, the Celtics controlled the last chance to attack, but at the fateful moment the Magic withstood the pressure and stubbornly defused their offense, and the two sides went into overtime.

The atmosphere in overtime was even more eerie and tense, with both teams missing shots in quick succession, and Monster missing both free throws, finally returning to his original self. With 2:42 left in the game, Nelson hit a three-pointer to break the deadlock, and after the Celtics missed another shot, Nelson scored another three-pointer to give the Magic a 92-86 lead.

However, Ray Allen did not show weakness, and then hit two three-pointers, and with 1:13 left in the game, he helped the Celtics chase the score to 92-94, and then Nelson missed the offensive throw, but the Monsters grabbed the offensive rebound, and after the second offensive rebound, the Magic extended the advantage to 4 points. The Celtics then missed back-to-back shots and missed their chances.

In this way, with the efforts of the whole team, the magic successfully renewed their lives! A hard bite on the Celtics' home court! After learning that the Magic stubbornly defeated the Green Army, the Lakers were also very happy, after all, the more the Celtics played, the more tired the Big Three became! The Lakers have a better chance of winning, even if the Celtics overturn and the Magic enter the Finals, the Lakers have experience in playing Magic!

----------

Huang Yu sat off the court and looked at the Lakers players who were tied up on the court, and had a headache! Although the Lakers have done targeted training for the Suns' joint defense, the effect is obviously not good!

At the beginning of the fourth leg of the two sides, the sun sacrificed a joint defense! I don't know if it was the Suns' joint defense that worked, or if Kobe Bryant was unwilling to shoot today, when Huang Yu replaced him on the court, he only shot once in the first quarter, and he didn't hit it yet.

After Huang Yu came on the court, according to the requirements of the Zen master, he was to pull the defense of the sun as much as possible, and the last game Huang Yu's shooting rate dropped, and it did not make the Zen master think that Huang Yu hit the late rookie wall! (The second season is almost over, and the God TM Rookie Wall is coming to an end!) )

Since the Zen master has spoken, it is equivalent to getting the sword of Shang Fang, although he wants to hide it, but if he is too scummy, it will also make those teams who are ready to trade him struggle even more, so as soon as he got on the court, Huang Yu took over the ball of the Lakers, and it was Grant Hill who defended himself, and in the face of this good gentleman, Huang Yu did not suspect respect at all, and pulled out his hand directly! Isn't it looking for death if you let me go one step away! He hit three three-pointers, but still couldn't make any changes to the Suns' defense.

The main thing is that their firepower is also too strong, although at the end of the first quarter, the players of the lounge Suns thought that the coach would change tactics, but apparently not! The Suns' coach gave the players the most trust, especially the likes of Frye and Barbossa, who had been average in the first two games.

The Lakers' shooter group did not disappoint him, at the beginning of the second quarter, he suppressed the Lakers' offense throughout the whole process, and the three-point rain almost drowned the Lakers, but although Huang Yu alone could not carry a team, Frye suddenly hit a three-point shot with a cold arrow after covering in the high post, Huang Yu also made a three-point shot in the face of Barbossa's defense, but then followed by Barbosa in front of the old fish to pull out a three-point shot, although Huang Yu also hit a three-point shot with the help of a block, but with a mistake by Xiangnong Brown, Nash and Frye scored from a distance, in 4 minutes, The two teams made a total of 8 three-pointers, but Huang Yu was alone, although Huang Yu hit 5 three-pointers after coming on the court.

After Kobe Bryant appeared again, he also made a three-point shot with the Suns! However, the Suns made a total of 9 three-pointers in the second quarter and scored 41 points, and Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage began to decline in the second half of the second quarter, so he switched to breaking through the game, but it still failed to help the Lakers recover the decline, and the Suns led 64-55 in the first half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant continued to use singles to tear apart the Suns' joint defense, although it felt like the Lakers had fallen into the cycle of Kobe Bryant's NBA teammate CBA again, but Kobe Bryant and the big Lakers players on the court obviously did not perform at the same level, and in the second half of the second quarter, it also proved that his sudden points could not be shot even if he had the opportunity to teammates.

Kobe Bryant shot a total of three three-pointers in the third quarter, scored 16 points in a single quarter, and scored 31 points after three quarters, although the Suns' joint defense is still airtight, but with his efforts, the Lakers' scoring finally improved, and with 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the quarter, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot from a distance, and the Lakers pulled the score to 81-81.

Although Xiao Si returned a shot in the low post, Bryant broke through with the ball and cleverly passed the ball to Odom, who scored easily. No matter how strong the Suns' joint defense was, Kobe Bryant, who started passing, couldn't do anything, and the score was once overtaken by the Lakers, and after the quarter, the Suns led by one point at 85-84.

----------

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns rained three points again, but at this time the Lakers replaced the best pitchers inside, and Huang Yu was not replaced at the end of the third quarter, according to the assistant coach's explanation, Huang Yu had to play the whole quarter!

However, more shooters does not mean that the shooting rate is high, consecutive missed shots were blinded by the Suns' three three-pointers, and it was shot from three different players, after Frye, Barbosa and Dudley, the Lakers' shooters suddenly languished, and Vujacic and Famar almost threw the ball to Huang Yu.

Fortunately, Huang Yu's point is relatively strong, although the sun is fierce in three points, but Huang Yu and the sun started a confrontation alone.

The Suns started the quarter 14-5 and opened up 99-89 in one fell swoop. The Suns' bench confronted the Lakers' main force, not only did not fall behind, but also pulled the score away. Gentry wanted to swap Nash and Stoudemire, but saw Dragic pull Nash and Stoudemire back after seeing a beautiful driving layup.

It wasn't until 3:05 left in the game that the Suns replaced Nash, and the rest of the main players followed suit. After the Lakers tied the score at 97-103, Stoudemire drew back-to-back fouls and made 3 of 4 free throws to open up the gap at 106-97.

Kobe Bryant tried his best to save the Lakers, and with 48.5 seconds left in the game, he made a layup, but the Lakers still trailed 101-110, and the game was out of control, and the Lakers could only hope to return to the home court to bounce back.
