The Trail Blazers ended the first half with a five-point lead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

No one spoke, and after the halftime whistle blew, they hurried into the tunnel and the Lakers players on the other side did the same. The tie-break is not only a physical exertion, but also a mental exertion, and they must grasp every minute and every second of halftime to maximize their recovery. There's no time to waste now, and for them, every moment is precious, because every moment they can recover a little bit of stamina, and maybe in the end, that bit of stamina can make the difference between winning and losing the game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Mad Dog tactics of the Trail Blazers' starters finally tasted the bitter fruit, they had more physical exertion than their opponents, and their recovery was slower, so the five-point lead was wiped out in less than three minutes of the opening game, during which Roy and Ye Feng hit only one shot in three shots from beyond the three-point line, and the scoring weapon they relied on most in the first half seemed to have failed. This is bad news for the Trail Blazers, in the first half they relied on their strong three-point firepower to suppress the Lakers, and now the three-point shot has been affected by the decline in physical strength, and the score has been equalized by the opponent, is it time to disarm and surrender?

Roy and Ye Feng glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and in the next round, Roy took the initiative to take over possession from Blake. That's right, these two guys chose to mess up the Lakers' defense with a breakaway. When long-range shooting is no longer reliable, approaching the basket is undoubtedly the right thing to do, but the only flaw is ...... In this way, Blake is the only reliable pitcher on the outside, and it is not enough for the Lakers to stuff their teeth!

McMillan saw what the two disciples wanted to do, and the idea of taking turns dribbling to break through was very good, but now the inside line is very crowded, and the outside line lacks a receiving point, so he can only choose to make a substitution. After Ariza hit a corner three-pointer from Kobe Bryant's breakaway, McMillan called a timeout and replaced Oden with Batum, putting Ade on the top five. This hand-to-hand substitution simply blinded the eyes of all fans, they felt that the Trail Blazers were killing themselves, and they messed up for no reason, originally Oden could still compete with Bynum when he was there, and now he is replaced with a small forward, isn't it brain-dead?

But the Trail Blazers' performance quickly swollen their faces. Oden's departure is certainly a big loss for the team's rebounding ability, but what if we don't give the opponent a chance to grab a rebound? The only reason why McMillan didn't replace Ade is that his offense is much stronger than Oden's, and the Trail Blazers now don't want defense, but desperate offense. Batum added an outside battery to the team after he came on the court, so at this time, should Gasol, who was supposed to be opposite him, defend himself or shrink inside? If you don't go out, you will be empty under the basket, and if you don't go out, no one will be able to stop Batum.

Phil was still figuring out whether to replace Gasol with Odom, but the Trail Blazers had regained the lead. Although it is not much, it is clear that Roy and Ye Feng are playing more easily, and the team's offense now does not need to rely entirely on their breakthrough layups. Ade can shoot from mid-range, Batum and Blake can shoot three-pointers, but their breakthroughs can't help but focus on defense, and for a while, the Lakers' self-imposed defensive system is full of holes. Seeing that the situation was not good, Phil quickly called a timeout and put Odom on the court, which slightly contained the Trail Blazers' offense.

Now as long as the Trail Blazers players get the ball, there will be a burst of neat boos among the Lakers fans on the spot, and when it is the Lakers player's turn to hold the ball, they will shout: "MVP!" MVP！ "It doesn't matter if the person who gets the ball is Kobe or Fisher, just call MVP anyway. But the noise they made had no effect on the Trail Blazers players, who were visiting the Staples Center for the fourth time in this series, so how could they not know what kind of urine Lakers fans are? Boo, boo, the boo of the opposing fans is the best praise for yourself.

The score of the two sides in the third quarter was still tied, and the Trail Blazers forced back the disadvantage in the first half of the quarter with a clever substitution from McMillan, and once again led the Lakers by five points. Kobe Bryant didn't say anything, but his performance was the best response, and in the first three quarters, he was full of firepower in the fourth quarter, and he burst into and out shots to continuously increase his points, not only filling the hole of 5 points, but also giving the Lakers a 3-point lead. However, 3 points is not a safe gap, he has realized that facing the Trail Blazers may not be safe for more than ten or twenty points, and a 3-point lead is almost the same as no lead, so he still keeps holding the ball, breaking through, shooting, trying to further expand the difference.

But Ye Feng and Roy didn't give him a chance. Batum's play took a lot of pressure off them, and they were playing for the rest of the third quarter, not to mention McMillan giving them a three-minute break. When Kobe entered the realm of no man, the two sharpest swords of the Trailblazers were unsheathed again, Roy was responsible for breaking out, Ye Feng was responsible for throwing, and they worked together to compete with Kobe Bryant and help the team bite the score. Ye Feng knew very well that this anger could not be vented, and the whole team would be finished as soon as he vented it, so he ignored his starting heavy steps, still desperately looking for opportunities on the outside, and then threw the ball without hesitation.

It wasn't until 30 seconds left that the two teams were finally tied again, and the rest of the game was technically given each side an offensive chance, and now the ball is in the hands of the Lakers. Fisher is no longer the Lakers' point guard at this time, the ball has always been in Kobe's hands, as a veteran in the league for 12 years, Kobe Bryant is very experienced, he knows that the most important thing at this time is to press time, less than 24 seconds at the last moment will never shoot, this is to try to compress the Trail Blazers' offensive time. Of course, the last-second shot is also because he has extraordinary self-confidence, others may think about what to do if this goal can't be scored, Kobe Bryant never thinks about this, he believes in his own ability.

With 8 seconds left in the Lakers' round, Kobe, who had been hovering at the top of the arc, suddenly moved, and after a series of dazzling changes of direction, he turned around and wiped past Roy. 7 sec...... 6 seconds ...... He continues to break through...... 5 seconds...... 4 seconds ...... Batum has come up on the defensive...... 3 seconds ...... Another half-turn without slowing down at all...... 2 seconds...... Jump, shot...... 1 second ...... Beep! The 24 seconds came to an end, and the basketball happened to fall into the basket. Bryant hammered his chest hard, yelled, and ran to his backcourt.

He pressed the clock so well that he gave the Trail Blazers just six seconds to go and a two-point difference, but the eyes of the Trail Blazers fans in front of the TV lit up, even if the team they were supporting was one side behind. But they had only one thought in their hearts: Is this the rhythm of the lore again?
