Chapter 161, Super Luxury Triple Pair!!
"Chris, you rest first."
"Nope! I'm going to keep fighting! ”
““OK”
Paul gritted his teeth and slammed!! Turning down the manager's substitution, he was ready to play the full 48 minutes!!
In the playoffs, the head coach did not dare to easily disobey Paul's words.
West is not there, the Hornets are Paul's team, the Hornets have to rely on him, he can't wait to play the full 48 minutes, how can he rest at this moment?
The Lakers played smoothly in the first quarter.
The Lakers' Lee Forest and Kobe Bryant both played efficiently.
The whole team passed the ball smoothly and the balls that should have been thrown were also thrown!!
Balls that shouldn't be thrown can be thrown occasionally.
Everything was as fans and experts expected.
As if that's the script.
Everyone on the bench was laughing again.
It turns out that the playoffs are not like this!
Paul George and Jordan Jr. both relaxed.
The same venue, the same game, the same fans, we are still the same strong!
That's it.
The tension of the Lakers relaxed a little.....
Internode breaks pass in the blink of an eye.
Everyone thought that verse 2 might be a rehash of verse 1.
But.
No one expected that the Wasp, under Paul's leadership, would begin to bloom in full force!!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Paul launched a series of "second passes", allowing the Hornets to play an 8-0 climax.
The Lakers missed just two shots, and then the score was tied at 30-30
Lee then scored three points in a row, and then Paul responded with a one-on-one three-pointer.
After that, Bryant first scored 2 points inside, and then completed a 2+1, and the Lakers regained the lead to 5 points.
But after Paul on the Wasp's side fell silent, Jack began to go berserk again. Jack provided back-to-back assists, and Belinelli and Okafor each scored two points to help the Hornets catch up.
Landry took Gray's pass and completed a dunk shortly after, and Gray's 2+1 gave the Hornets the lead in the game for the first time.
The cheers of the audience were low.
The scene seems to be a little bad!!
The Lakers have a problem.
At the moment when the score was overtaken, Paul George and Jordan Jr. were completely nervous.
After that, the Lakers' offense began to stagnate, and Kobe Bryant missed 3 consecutive shots in a row!
In the final minute of the second quarter, the Hornets led by nine points at 60-51.
After Lee hit a three-pointer just past halftime, the Lakers trailed by six points at 54-60 and went into the break.
The Lakers gave up 38 points in the second quarter, and the Hornets scored 14 points.
Half-time.
Bryant had 12 points, Lee Forest had 22 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, and Paul had 14 points and 10 assists to complete a double-double.
............
There are no weak teams in the NBA, and this is especially evident in the playoffs.
Locker room at halftime!
Bread Brown rarely growls at everyone.
"Man, we're behind!! To change. ”
"Defensive !!"
"Defense!! What about your defenses? It's the playoffs, and we've got to go home after losing 4 games! Get me moving. ”
The drawbacks of a 34-game winning streak came out, and the long-term wins paralyzed the players' psyche.
Everyone is accustomed to victory.
The second quarter is a microcosm of the psychology of the players, and after losing 38 points in a single quarter in the playoffs, there is no worse defense.
"Kobe, are you unwell somewhere?"
During the interval, Bread also asked about Kobe's physical condition.
"Nope!"
In the second quarter, Kobe Bryant's footsteps couldn't move, and the team could score 24 points in a row, all supported by Li Forest.
In the face of Brown's questioning, Bryant just shook his head, saying that he did not have any discomfort and would try to get back into shape as soon as possible.
Sometimes, the state is like your dribbling, which will always disappear inexplicably and appear without warning.
Kobe Bryant feels that his state seems to have never been recovered, as long as he wants to deliberately play alone, but his body sometimes can't keep up with his consciousness.
Kobe Bryant won't tell anyone about this, he believes he can get back to his best!!
Li Shulin wiped his sweat with a towel on the side.
He heard Brown's questioning, too.
But what if Bryant can't get back into shape?
The Lakers can't be slaughtered.
"Looks like you're on your own."
Although Li Forest scored 22 points, his firepower has not been completely released.
The wasps are very smart.
It could be seen that Lee was making the ball for his teammates, transferring the defensive pressure on him to his teammates.
It wasn't hard for Lee Forest to score, but it was much more difficult for his teammates.
At this time, the head coach Bread also looked at Li Linlin.
"Li, you must resist it!"
Vince Carter, the best dunker in NBA history, after wandering around, the aging Carter came to the Lakers this season with a simple desire to fight for a championship trophy and a championship ring for his career!
Lewis, a cancer who has been scolded by countless fans, but he has always held back and always done his own thing. He never admits defeat, just for that championship, which is the only goal of this man.
Kobe Bryant, the second-largest scoring guard in NBA history after Jordan, hurriedly returned from a serious injury just to fight for his fifth championship.
Paul George, a rookie with Lakers dreams, was nervous about the atmosphere of the playoffs, he didn't have a strong desire for a championship, but he wanted to win!
The old is old, the little is small.
Li Forest knew he had to step up.
What a ball!!
If you can win!!
Li Forest had his own idea.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Forest greedily seized every second of the opportunity to rest, the intensity of the NBA playoffs is already large, and playing a full half at this intensity is not for fun.
...............
The overall performance of the Lakers today was not as expected.
Everyone knows that the Lakers are Lee Forest's team, but throughout the half, Lee Grove did really do it really his "one-man" team.
People like Kobe Bryant and Reed George, although they will occasionally step up to help the team, but the performance of everyone except Lee Forest today is really very inconsistent.
The Reeds scored a two-point game at the start of the second quarter and then went on a rampage.
Carter had a good performance in the first quarter, but didn't score a point in the second quarter.
Paul George, the Lakers' third-leading scorer, has not performed anything except for a few passes and mid-range shots.
Of course, the most serious problem is Kobe. At the end of the half, Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage was only a miserable 29%.
Kobe Bryant was slow to fire up but took a lot of shots, which was one of the reasons why Li Forest was still behind with 22 points.
Fans are worried about the team's upcoming games.
You know, if it weren't for the existence of Li Forest, the Lakers would be estimated to be behind by a big score now.
Fans feel very sorry for Li Forest, they watched Li Forest defend frantically on the defensive end, and desperately organize on the offensive end, and many people didn't feel good in their hearts.
But for the sake of victory, Li Forest can't get off the field!
You have to run, as long as Li Forest is on the field, whether it is the players or the fans, they all believe that the team will not lose!
"The Lakers are not in good shape, if it weren't for Lee, they wouldn't have been able to fall behind by double digits, and it is estimated that the second half will not be easy to play." Barkley points out the core of the Lakers very directly.
"The Lakers must let Li Forest attack as soon as possible, everyone else can't be relied on, Kobe Bryant's shots are too much, Li shouldn't be humble!! The playoffs are his time. Miller criticized Li Linlin, not when he should be alone.
On the court, the cheerleaders of the Lakers performed very well, but the fans were not in the mood to enjoy it.
Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the game finally began.
...................
VIP box.
"Weiwei, the Hornets are ahead, hehe! Look, the forest can still be screaming. ”
"Sister, the game is not over yet, and the forest has not scored yet."
"He scored 22 points in the first half, and that's not enough, it's good for Paul to score 22 points in a game."
In Lin Feifei's eyes, Li Linlin should be better than Paul, but it shouldn't be too exaggerated.
"You think, Paul is the assist organization type, and Forest is the scoring type, and the two can't compare in scoring."
"Ah, isn't he a point guard? I think he has a lot of assists. Lin Feifei's basketball knowledge is still very lacking, she knows that Li Linlin is good in bed, but she doesn't know how good Li Linlin is on the court.
"It's different, he's a ball bully, a fake point guard, anyway, look at the second half, you can't take it lightly now."
"Oh." Lin Feifei didn't believe it very much, Li Linlin was very fierce on the bed, but on the field!
Lin Feifei really hasn't watched too many Li Forest games.
Lin Weiwei knew that the third quarter was the time to test the Hornets.
Lin Weiwei saw Li Linlin who showed resolute eyes on the field, and knew that Li Linlin was going crazy.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Brown did not continue to use the starting lineup, but took Kobe Bryant and Paul George, who were in average form in the first half of the game, and replaced them with Lewis and Carter, and Lee Forest played a star-studded !!
The purpose of the Lakers is very clear, to strengthen Li Forest's individual offense and strive to overtake the score!
There is one of the best scoring players in the NBA, paired with a bunch of shooters.
If this lineup plays well, it will not be difficult to overtake the score.
When the score is overtaken, Kobe Bryant is being sent.
Even if Kobe Bryant still doesn't find his form in the game, then there are more scoring points in the game, and he can play a bigger role.
At that time, even if the Lakers can't pull away the score, they won't fall behind!
Now Brown's only hope now is to press on Lee Forest.
How much responsibility Li Forest can shoulder in the playoffs with his own team depends on the third quarter.
The game restarted with the Hornets taking the lead.
As soon as he came up, Okafor approached Luiz, hoping to use the aging veteran as a breakthrough.
Seeing that Okafor was in a deep position, Jordan Jr. also went to make up for the defense according to the tactics.
But Okafor didn't attack blindly, seeing that Jordan Jr.'s defensive titan was attracted to him.
Okafor threw the basketball to the basket with a hook move.
Such a difficult hook made fans think that Okafor was more like a nonsense.
But it's not a hook, it's a pass.
Paul mobilized the Hornets' passing enthusiasm.
Ariza ball to the man.
Ariza's physicality is underrated, and a simple air catch can be easily accomplished.
Before Jordan Jr. came back from the defense, Ariza ran and jumped, holding the basketball firmly in the air with both hands. Then he landed straight on the ground and easily pressed the ball into the frame.
Air !!
Box
The difference was stretched to eight points.
Ariza's goal meant that it was no longer safe for Lee Forest to defend Paul. The front line defense that the Lakers are proud of has basically been dismantled with George's departure and Forest-Lee's switch to Paul, and in the subsequent defense, I am afraid that the pressure on the Lakers' forward line will be even greater.
A beautiful inside pass inside cut and dunk in the air.
Fuel the fierce battle between the two sides.
Now the pressure is all on the Lakers.
If they can't get the score up in time, then the confident Hornets are bound to launch an onslaught, and if things go bad, the Lakers' confidence may collapse if the margin stretches to more than 10 points!!
Li Linlin's sweat is getting bigger and bigger.
Without KD and Wei Shao's playoffs, it was really not so easy.
The Lakers can get such a good record in the regular season, and it has a lot to do with role players.
The playoffs are the stage for superstars.
Paul intends to use this atmosphere under pressure to force Li Forest to make mistakes.
However, Lee's possession skills were never able to allow Paul to find a good chance to break the ball.
Compared with the previous two seasons like to beep trash talk, the current Li Forest is undoubtedly more mature.
Even if the opponent is strong, he doesn't want to say too much, he will teach the opponent a lesson with his actions.
Li Linlin's character is very popular with the media and fans, and fans can see Li Linlin's growth in all aspects!!
Now it may be that Jordan is called up to play with Li Forest in the jersey of the Hornets, and Li Forest will not be afraid of the opponent and will not be cowardly.
No matter what the situation is, whether it is behind or ahead now, Li Forest will know what he has to do!!
That's the supergiant!!
This is the biggest change of mood that Li Forest alone has brought to the Lakers!!
Lakers offense.
This time, Li Forest broke through directly on his own, but did not directly share the ball, but passed the ball to Jordan Jr. during the march.
I ask for a ball right away.
Jordan Jr. returned to Lee Forest.
Li Forest did not stop after receiving the basketball, touching the ball with one hand and letting the basketball transfer quickly.
Then continue to run on your own.
Jordan Jr. gives Lee Forest an off-ball screen.
Carter catches the ball and finds Lee Forest.
Lee Forest borrowed Jordan Jr.'s off-ball block to get out of the three-point line.
Ball to Man Arrive!!
The horizontal knife is immediate, and the vacant space is shot!!
"Huh!"
The difference was 5 points!!
"This offense to the Lakers is so good at sharing and running the ball! All the tactics revolved around Li Forest, and their tactics were interlocking, and Li Forest finally completed the finish and stopped the bleeding for the Lakers in time. ”
"Kobe Bryant went down, Paul George went down, no matter how the media touted Kobe Bryant as the boss of the Lakers, Paul George is the future of the Lakers, and at this moment, Li Forest is the person that fans can trust."
"As the star of the house, he must step up when the team is in difficulty, and Li Forest has given all Lakers fans a reassurance."
So just a few dozen seconds later, Li Forest once again completed a three-point shot in a one-on-one single.
This time, the basketball didn't pass anyone's hands.
Paul seemed to know that Li Forest was going to attack on his own, and desperately wanted to jump up and interfere.
When shooting, Li Linlin's body was still very aggressive and leaned forward slightly, and the experienced Paul didn't dare to act rashly when he saw this situation, he knew that as long as he touched Li Linlin, Li Linlin would definitely make a foul on the situation, and the referee would not hesitate to blow the whistle.
Queen Bee didn't want to send Lee Forest to the free throw line for three free throws, and all Paul could do was raise his arms high.
But Lee Forest's height of 201 is not something that Paul of 183 can interfere with success with his arms raised.
The basketball made a beautiful arc and fell into the net under the raised arms of fans all over Los Angeles.
Two consecutive three-pointers in one minute.
Li Linlin's brow loosened slightly.
The bread off the field was already smiling from ear to ear.
The difference of 8 points is only two points at once.
It seems that this substitution has worked again.
Lee Forest's offense led the Lakers' defense.
The Hornets' offense, Paul's pass was intercepted by the experienced Douglas Carter halfway through.
Aggro.
A pass on Li Forest.
Lee Forest at the top of the arc of the Wasp.
The fast-break pull-up three-pointer shot again!!
The basketball is like a radar, and it is drilled into the net with precision!!
"Boom, boom!!"
At this moment, the Lakers completed the score overtake!!!
Only 63 seconds passed in the second half.
This series of three-point blows made Lin Feifei in the VIP box speechless.
"Uh.... The forest is too powerful, isn't it? Lin Feifei had a look of adoration on her face.
"Well, so he is the most valuable person in the NBA, higher than James..."Lin said helplessly, this game can't be played, there is a bug on the other side.
Entering the NBA league, Lin Weiwei knew how domineering Li Forest was.
The whole league is figuring out how to stop him from scoring.
But they can't stop it, it's so capricious!!
The Lakers went from trailing by eight points to leading by one point in an instant.
Subsequently, the Hornets finally overtook the score again.
But Lee Forest left the New Orleans team without a respite.
Li Forest borrowed Jordan Jr.'s blocking and dismantling breakthrough.
Straight into the inside!!
Through Okafor is a tomahawk slam buckle!!
"Ah!!!!!h
After scoring this goal, the scene was completely ignited.
"Lee Lee !!!!!!!!" The DJ went crazy.
Paul also started to get nervous.
In the second quarter of the game, Paul himself did his best and ran at the expense of physical strength.
Now it's so easy to be overtaken.
It's a tough game.
Hornets attack.
Paul still didn't attack himself, but shoved the ball inside.
Okafor, who received the basketball in a deep position, leaned directly on Lewis and turned around.
Then the violent buckle was forced.
Let the cheers at Staples Arena drop a bit.
Ten seconds later, Lee made a shot from beyond the three-point line to assist Carter.
Carter is now a veteran who plays equally well with and without the ball.
As time went on, the old guy got older and more demonic.
In the Lakers' constant scoring frenzy, the Hornets players feel like they're about to run out of steam.
Every offense, every offense by the Hornets is under pressure.
Because they know that if they can't continue the score, they will give the opponent a chance to pull the score.
And in the playoffs, with the great defensive intensity, after the score was pulled away, I still wanted to chase it, but it was very difficult.
This pressure gradually spread to the hearts of everyone on the Hornets.
When Ariza broke through Lee Forest again with the ball, he couldn't move forward.
Lee Forest cut Ariza's basketball straight from the front.
After the steal, Li Forest staged a good show of long-distance running.
This is a Jamesian tank bombardment!!!
Facing Ariza who was following him, Li Forest directly bumped into Ariza is a violent !!!!!。
"Beep!!"
The body collided, the referee still decisively blew the foul, and Li Forest reached a 2+1
After the start of the second half, Li Forest completely exploded.
Li Forest withstood all the pressure and led the team to move forward hard.
Lee scored 20 of the Lakers' first 22 points in the third quarter.
The Lakers' role players, led by Lee Forest, aggressively defended, left the Hornets overwhelmed.
With four minutes left in the third quarter, Paul's three-pointer pushed the Hornets to nine points.
But in the next round, Li Linlin directly used a beautiful turn to get past Paul, dodged Okafor's block in the air, and scored a layup on a pull rod to stretch the score to double digits again!!
Watching Li Forest use the super stagnation in the air to deftly pull the lever to evade the defense.
The fans at home couldn't help but stand up and imitate Li Linlin's lever action.
But no matter how beautiful the ball is, it is only worth two points, the Hornets are impossible to give up, and the Lakers are still chasing hard, and it is not so easy for the Lakers to keep the advantage until the end.
In the second minute of the third quarter, the two sides had already begun to make substitutions.
But Lee remained on the field.
Ariza received a pass from Paul and hit a three-point shot.
The cooperation between the two allowed the Hornets to narrow the gap to within 10 points again.
"Kill Paul's pass !!"
"Guard against Li Forest!!"
Paul's pass, Lee Forest's score, became the dominant point for both teams.
"I'll go to the bag later!!" Paul boosted Ariza's morale.
Paul didn't want this time, Lee Forest could once again rely on an offensive to stretch the margin to more than 10 points.
But the reason why Li Forest is a supergiant is because he can't prevent it when he goes berserk.
Although Paul reminded his teammates to wrap the clip, Li Forest was not intimidated at all, and directly met the bag clip, first used a block to dismantle Paul, and in the face of Ariza's supplementary defense, Li Forest changed direction sharply.
Ariza moved sideways, Li Linlin changed direction in front of the body, adjusted the rhythm, and threw a backward jumper!
Ariza pounced forward with all her might, but unexpectedly, Li Linlin smiled.
Li Forest also took the initiative to pounce on Aliza.
"Bang!!"
"Smack!!"
"Beep!!"
Ariza hit Lee Forest's arm solidly, the defense fouled, and Lee Forest ran to the free throw line again!
After Lee fouled Ariza, Barkley could clearly see that Paul was spitting out his braces and swearing the word Ephard.
Paul was depressed, and he knew that the Hornets' hopes of closing the score had once again been disappointed.
Paul was starting to get a little discouraged!!!
Lee, it's really too strong.
In the third quarter, the Hornets' score did not close to within 10 points!!
In the fourth quarter, Li Forest took a half-quarter break off the court.
The Lakers' role players are starting to go up.
The Reeds led the Lakers bench to extend the lead to 20 points, and the Hornets rushed to call a timeout and bring on Paul.
Paul took over the team's offense and scored seven straight points to tie the score to 13 points.
After that, Ariza scored twice inside in a row, and the Hornets chased nine points with 6:24 left.
Lee Forest is back on the pitch.
Lee Forest assisted Bryant on a three-pointer and hit two more free throws.
The protagonist of the game belongs to Li Linlin.
Lee then added six points and one assist to give the Lakers a 12-point lead at 112-100 with 75 seconds remaining.
The Hornets lost 118-106 on the road.
The moment the final whistle blew.
The Lakers are starting to celebrate.
Lee Forest once again recorded 58 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks.
Bryant scored 16 points on 5-of-20 shooting.
Paul had 24 points, 21 assists, 5 steals, 8 rebounds and 6 turnovers.
