Chapter 254: Turnaround! (1/3)
The Nuggets do have the intention of tearing apart the Lakers in Game 3 of the playoffs! After winning them at Staples Arena, the Nuggets feel like they're one step closer to advancing to the next round!
If they win two games in a row here, the Lakers have little hope of advancing to the second round. This is exactly what they expected! At this point in the game, even the Zen master had some bad feelings.
Maybe this is the last leg of his coaching career. Looking at the beginning just now, Jackson suddenly seemed to be much older. It may be the end of the road here, but it may be a new career in management.
Before the playoffs began, the Nuggets had studied the Lakers very deeply. They even held a meeting on how to deal with Zhou Yang. More than 30 people present discussed the matter.
It is said that if they want to defend against Zhou Yang now, the team has great players. If you don't know what the other party should do, then try not to let Zhou Yang attack! The Lakers felt like they were underestimating each other right after the playoffs began!
Smush held the ball to the frontcourt, and after Zhou Yang got the basketball, he directly used Linas to block the answer and scored a jumper at Iverson and Linas!! Compared with the Timberwolves, it is still not so easy for other teams to guard against Zhou Yang.
But the Timberwolves, who can defend against Zhou Yang well, were blocked out of the playoffs...... Here in Zhou Yang, seeing that the Pistons in the East have won two consecutive victories, his biggest hope now is that the Pistons can enter the finals! And the Lakers will be there waiting for them as well!
The Nuggets were alert when they saw Zhou Yang's sudden score. The Lakers immediately returned to defense after scoring, and the opponent did not quickly counterattack in this gap! Iverson took a step back when he saw that the other party was already standing.
Evans was a little nervous. Although the answer is in his 30s, his speed doesn't seem to be slow at all, okay? While he was thinking about it, Evans watched as the answer passed right under his nose!
"It's nothing!" After Iverson passed Evans, he saw that it was empty, and he said a word in his heart and was ready to go to the basket. But suddenly a figure sprang out from behind! The answer is very responsive!
He knew that his shot was likely to be blocked by the opponent at this time! Is it Evans?! Not really! Such a speed, Kobe Bryant or Odom might be able to do it! Not far away, Odom and Hilario are competing for position.
In the air, Iverson made a lever move! But because it was a temporary strain, the basketball hit the basket a little stiffly!
After the answer fell to the ground, the toes suddenly turned around like an electric shock and waited for Anthony's pass! Basketball is going in his direction! But at this time, he also found that Zhou Yang rushed out directly from behind him!
Almost parallel to the ground, he pushed the ball out of the air!
"Oh!!" Odom took the basketball and dribbled directly behind his back, passed Hilario, and then turned and passed the melon that had just approached!! Kobe Bryant yelled excitedly on the sidelines!
Odom is so strong now! Is such a dribble really a player who plays power forward and center?! Zhou Yang has also observed Odom in the team. This is the kind of player that is very much needed in the league in the future!
Odom, who passed two players, sprinted directly and scored points! Zhou Yang just fell directly to the floor, and his right arm immediately turned blue! But he didn't feel much pain, and immediately rushed over after getting up from the ground!
After seeing Odom score, I was excited to high-five him and celebrate! Odom is very excited now, especially after seeing the bruise on Zhou Yang's raised arm, he thinks that the players of the team should be very funny if they fight so hard!
"Zhou Yang taught me," Iverson and Anthony approached, and Melon nodded directly after listening.
The answer has already been seen, and Zhou Yang, who has just come on the field, immediately began to work. He played a major role in the Nuggets, though. But it's more certain to defend a player alone.
Smith dribbled the ball across the half, and Anthony ran to the bottom corner to catch the ball and hit a three-point shot!
Taylor watched this game very much on the sidelines! She turned off her phone. I really didn't have a lot of fun last time! I gradually have more and more things to do at work. Being able to come here to watch a game makes Swift and enjoy~
Especially here is Zhou Yang! Since Zhou Yang came to the NBA, the controversy about him has not stopped. It seems that the Asian forward player will also play as a substitute in the NBA in the future.
Some fans still think that he is not even worthy of playing as a substitute for the second team. If there is no coach like Zen Master, his teammates in the team praise him Zhou Yang so much, and it is estimated that it is very likely that he will be sent to the Development League now.
Taylor still supports Zhou Yang as always! Because she thinks Zhou Yang is very capable of playing and has brains in the game. With these two things, even if he doesn't achieve much in a short period of time, I believe that he will always become a star player in the league!
The Lakers players who were on the court after Kobe Bryant got off the break are now focusing on Zhou Yang! The same goes for Odom, who was included in the game!
They were afraid that if one of their rhythms clashed with Zhou Yang's rhythm, they would not be able to cooperate effectively. Zhou Yang's rhythm, as teammates, they have seen it......
Smush got the basketball, and when the opponent thought it would pass to Odom, Zhou Yang took the basketball directly and hit a jumper next to Anthony!!
Iverson dribbled the ball directly to the front court and faced Evans with a three-pointer!
The other party didn't mean to let the Lakers catch up at all! After Zhou Yang got the basketball again, he inadvertently glanced at Taylor. The latter immediately cheered in his seat! After Linda saw this, she shoved a snack into her mouth......
Evans passed the ball directly to Odom after holding the ball across the half, and Zhou Yang received his pass to attract the defense, and Mim directly received the ball and jumped back with a three-pointer!
Phil sees that the Lakers are also a little relieved now. Bryant chatted with him on the sidelines for a while. To the surprise of the Zen master, Kobe Bryant did not ask himself to play early. Instead, I hope he will let Zhou Yang play a little longer in the game.
In Kobe's view, shortening Zhou Yang's playing time in the playoffs may be disadvantageous for the Lakers. Because Zhou Yang's organizational ability is very effective!
Wharton certainly thinks far, but his ideas may not be able to be achieved by the team. And Zhou Yang is different, he started fighting with the other party in time on the field! And basically it works well!
"I'm glad you can say that. But your playing time won't be shortened. When you go out on the pitch to play, make sure you are efficient in attack. I know that the role of Zhou Yang in the back of the team cannot be underestimated......"
At present, in the Lakers, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant can communicate with Jackson for a long time. Whether it's in normal times or when it's time to compete. And the Zen master prefers to listen to their opinions.
O'Neal sometimes communicates with the head coach on a whim, while Kobe Bryant's words are more game-oriented. But when Kobe Bryant was emotionally unstable, the Zen master could still tell him right away and tell Kobe to let him take more rest.
Although the Nuggets pressed fiercely. But the Lakers always score! There have also been some changes in the rhythm of the two teams on the spot! The Denver Nuggets were affected by the Lakers at this time.
Zhou Yang knew that Iverson was eyeing him! But he can always defuse it skillfully in every round~
