Chapter 230: Waiting for That Moment

"Good fight!"

After all the players of the Lakers came off the court, D'Antoni came up, and instead of blaming Chen Yu for not attacking much in the second quarter and the Lakers trailing by 5 points, he still smiled a little.

Of course, D'Antoni is particularly aware of the current state of the Lakers and Chen Yu.

Because the Nuggets have been playing tough defense against Chen Yu, Chen Yu's reaction is particularly good: he spends most of his energy on combing the offense and making the opponent tired.

A scorer is a huge threat to the opposing team, and many times when the team is in a desperate situation, the most important thing is for the scorer to step up and chisel point by point.

But at other times, a good player who organizes an attack is particularly destructive to the opponent's defense.

In the past, most of the time, because Kobe Bryant was on the team, Chen Yu was always showing his offensive talent, but today Chen Yu is showing his talent in organizing offense.

Organizing an attack is something that many fans can't see, but it can really have an impact on the course of the game.

Organizing an offense is not as simple as breaking through the ball, but a sort out of the overall offense, when to improve the tempo, when to give the ball to whom, when to share the offensive pressure and attract the opponent's defensive attention, etc., these are all knowledge.

It's like a player like Paul, you see his stats aren't that great, but the team he goes to can quickly go from a bad team to a playoff team, and a lot of his contributions are subtle, maybe no one can see it, but it's influencing a whole team considerably.

Of course, Chen Yu's statistics are still outstanding, and 7 assists in the half time are not something that anyone can get casually.

Chen Yu also said thank you, and now he is back in shape, as if he is back to his days in the Development League or in CUBA, when he was the main controller of the team, and everything was based on wins and his own statistics. Of course, now he is especially important for the Lakers' victory, because he needs to get the Lakers into the playoffs to complete the stage task.

In the entire first half, Chen Yu has played 18 minutes, which is a relatively long time since he entered the Lakers.

However, he didn't feel particularly tired, of course, mainly due to his current style of play.

Chen Yu understands very well that now he is recuperating, and he really wants to play in the second half.

Although the Lakers didn't lag behind the Nuggets too much in the first half, they still maintained their form, which is actually largely due to the Lakers' shooting percentage being good, and everyone playing well. In fact, Chen Yu can feel that if the game is anxious sometimes, there is no longer the relaxed feeling that it used to be - there was always a Kobe Bryant who could stand up, but now, it is really difficult for others to have the ability to score basketball regardless of everything.

Sometimes, the difference between a superstar and an average player is also in these places, superstars are always able to step up when they are needed, but ordinary players are really hard.

There were several times before the anxiety, but fortunately, the Lakers' shooting rate was good, so they all survived, but it was not necessarily the next, especially in the last two quarters, the Nuggets' already good defense will definitely be strengthened.

"I feel like Chen Yu played well today!" Now, on domestic websites, there are also many people pointing out the country: "The Lakers are in this situation, and they can still play so hard with the top three Nuggets in the West, anyway, I think it's really okay!" ”

"It's really good, but seriously, the real test is still in the next two quarters, and it's really hard to explain too much now, you see this kind of offense and defense of the Nuggets, once their shooting percentage comes up, and they are determined to improve their offensive and defensive intensity, the Lakers will definitely not be able to eat and go around."

"That's true...... But deep down, I still hope that the Lakers can win in the end, this is a game where Chen Yu can be regarded as provoking the beam, and he must not be cowardly......"

…… After a lot of discussion, the third quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets officially began.

In this quarter of the game, the expected explosion of the Nuggets team did not come for the time being, and Chen Yu was still playing basketball, which he felt was relatively easy and energy-saving.

In the middle and late stages of the third quarter, the Nuggets began to break through and shoot wildly, but Gasol on the Lakers' side hit a good percentage and stabilized the situation with three consecutive goals.

After that, the Lakers' defensive intensity also improved, and they also withstood this wave of attack from the Nuggets.

Speaking of which, Gallinari's injury now has also affected the overall strength of the Nuggets.

Although the Nuggets' current wing is full of talent, it is actually still relatively lacking in players who can really attack the opponent all the time.

Players like Iguodala are actually very powerful, but a group of people like them don't have the ability to score goals even if they don't have a hard fight, if the opponent has some flaws, or the team arranges tactics, or the opponent's defense has not been blocked all at once, they can score, but if the opponent directly guards and does not give a chance to take advantage of it, it is really difficult for Iguodala to break in and score.

Although Gallinari was not too efficient before, he did have that ability, and now the Nuggets have lost him, and they really have some losses in terms of offense.

And just like that, the third quarter ended with the score at 66-62 and the Lakers trailing by four points.

In the third quarter, Chen Yu was still tepid in a single quarter, scoring 2 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and has 14 points and 9 assists so far.

In fact, this data is already good even in the whole game, but Chen Yu hasn't really tried his best yet, he has been waiting for the moment when he has to need himself.

Chen Yu's performance in the third quarter, many people still agree with it, but his efficiency today is really not too high, his three-point shot in the first three quarters was 2 of 5 shots, and he also sent 3 turnovers.

In the final analysis, this is because Chen Yu played with less effort and did not focus too much.

In fact, some people began to say bad things about Chen Yu, thinking that his absence of Kobe really made people feel as if they couldn't play, but these people didn't know what Chen Yu was planning to do today.

And with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, what Chen Yu had been waiting for really came like that......

PS: I'm really sorry, but I've had too much to do in the past two days.

I'll have a few more chapters over the weekend.
