Chapter 196: The Last 1 Minute
After that, in the first half, Chen Yu didn't play, which also gave him plenty of time to rest.
It wasn't until there were 5 minutes left in the third quarter that Chen Yu re-entered the game and replaced Nash, who was already more tired.
Although he went through the temporary attribute points in the first quarter and played for a few minutes in the second quarter, Chen Yu's physical strength has almost fully recovered now.
Although Chen Yu didn't use the temporary attribute points now, he still had the spare strength to finish this section with all his might.
Now the score between the two sides is 65-58, and the Lakers still lead by as many as seven points.
After Chen Yu came on the court, he never found his touch, and lost two balls, probably sitting under the court for a long time, and Chen Yu's feel was gone.
Chen Yu saw that he couldn't get it back for a while, so he could only start to break through as much as possible, and the magic team strictly guarded his breakthrough and didn't give him too many opportunities.
So Chen Yu only brushed up 1 assist, and the data became 16 points and 4 assists, but compared to his goal, this is really a lot worse.
In fact, some of the problems that Chen Yu is facing now are the epitome of many problems he has faced recently.
His quality has improved a lot, that's true, but other teams' research on him is also improving, and if any team makes progress in Chen Yu's defensive research, it will definitely show it in the game, and it will give other teams a reference sample. So don't look at Chen Yu who can always score points one after another, but it's hard to keep going.
Others will keep adjusting, otherwise, the NBA will not need a coach, just let the players play......
Now the Magic team is adjusting its defensive strategy against Chen Yu.
So during this time, Chen Yu did not intend to resist their defensive system, but was looking for opportunities, and he also returned the ball to Kobe, after all, Kobe Bryant must be more sure than him.
Kobe Bryant is playing harder now, Chen Yu has become the second point of possession, and then he himself has become the third point of attack, running and cutting in turns, and he has the opportunity to shoot.
It's just that Chen Yu's feel is indeed a problem, and he missed the shot again.
That is, after coming on in the third quarter, he missed three balls.
This is now, if it is changed to the beginning of the season, Chen Yu may be so frightened that he will start thinking about what will happen after he is cut by the Lakers.
Now, Chen Yu's mood is quite calm, and he is still looking for opportunities.
His stats also reached 16 points and 5 assists.
It is still 7 short of the 35 contribution value that Chen Yu wants to achieve, counting 1 rebound.
It's just that Chen Yu still wants to make a good start today and show his strength.
With 59 seconds left in the third quarter, the ball is now in the hands of the Lakers.
Both sides scored high points in today's game, which has now become 71-68, and the bad thing is that the Lakers are only 3 points ahead.
The ball is still in the hands of the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant passed the ball to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu estimated that his playing time in each game was about twenty minutes, and he has played sixteen or seventeen minutes so far, which means that Chen Yu only has three or four minutes of playing time left.
Time can't be wasted!
Now the person who defends Chen Yu is Nelson, because Chen Yu's hand is not good in the entire third quarter and he plays a low-key game, so Nelson's defense of Chen Yu is now a little relaxed.
And now this ball, although Chen Yu hasn't figured out how to play it, he is very resolute and will score it no matter what!
Chen Yu changed direction in front of his body two times in a row, and although Nelson wanted to steal, he restrained his heart.
Chen Yu saw that Nelson was not fooled, and suddenly changed direction under his crotch, and then regardless of whether Nelson was shaken away or not, he directly accelerated and began to impact the inside line!
Chen Yu's speed Nelson has also seen it, and now he doesn't dare to underestimate it at all, and immediately retreats to defend to prevent Chen Yu's breakthrough.
However, Chen Yu quickly retreated, withdrew his body to the three-point line, and jumped to shoot!
It's another trick of Chen Yu now: three points back!
Nelson came up to block, but it was too late, and he could only watch the basketball go through his fingers.
In fact, he dared to retreat so much to prevent Chen Yu's breakthrough before, because Chen Yu felt bad today, and he felt that this guy should not dare to shoot directly, but he didn't expect Chen Yu to be a jump shot immediately!
But the success rate of this... Nelson wondered in his heart that it shouldn't be too high, but as a result, he heard the sound of a basketball in his pocket!
The whistle blows!
Chen's stats increased to 19 points and 5 assists, and the score between the two sides became 74-68, and the Lakers' lead reached another 6 points.
Chen Yu's step-back three-point step so far cannot be said to be perfect, but it does have a very good shooting rate. Moreover, when Chen Yu was particularly resolute and felt that he had to fight no matter what, the accuracy would be even better.
Chen Yu's ball just now is like that.
Now this step-back three-point is Chen Yu's killer feature, of course, this kind of killer thing can't be done every day, every ball is done. Otherwise, it would be easy to be targeted, and he would only be able to use it at a relatively critical point until this trick was completely invincible.
After this shot, the Magic team was also a little anxious when they were still beaten by Chen Yu in the final stage of the third quarter, and Nelson assisted Turkoglu to shoot a three-pointer, but the three-point shot was missed.
The Lakers started to attack, and there were only 29 seconds left, and Bryant passed the ball to Artest for a three-point jumper, but unfortunately the ball missed.
Chen Yu was just watching from the inside, and after this ball missed, it happened to be in Chen Yu's hands!
Sometimes it's like this when you scramble for rebounds, and when you really try to scramble for them, the rebounds may become someone else's. But when you don't have that mind, it may come into your hands inexplicably.
Chen Yu grabbed the rebound, and the time was only 15 seconds left.
The people of the Magic team immediately came to wrap the bag, and it was the kind of black pressure that made people lose their sight, if Chen Yu passed, it was very likely to be stealed, and even if he hesitated a little longer, he would be stealed!
At this time, Chen Yu shrank back, tried his best to protect the basketball in his hand, and then observed the surroundings.
At this time, Chen Yu finally saw Kobe Bryant and passed the ball to him.
After Kobe Bryant received the pass, he made a few tentative steps over there to prepare for a jumper, but the opportunity was not good, so he suddenly began to break through!
At this time, the Magic team immediately went up to block, but Kobe Bryant suddenly threw the ball!
The basketball crossed the court and appeared in the hands of Chen Yu on the other side of the three-point line!
He's just run out of the empty seat!
