**********************
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' benches still played steadily, and Kobe, who played on their behalf, took over the first offensive power in O'Neal's hands, and at the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant hit the first jump shot, and the opposing defender had no way to take Kobe Bryant, but then the Kings' Bobby Jackson returned one, and Jackson was an extremely stable player.
Then the Lakers' bench player Hunter missed a jumper and was grabbed by Pollard, who was grabbed by the Kings.
Bobby Jackson didn't get greedy this time, but handed the ball back to Pollard, who hit a step-back jumper, and the original 14-point difference became 12 points, and the Kings are not over yet, if you talk about bench bandits......
The Lakers have always been quite poor in this regard, whether it is now, before or in the future, it is quite poor.
You need to use the main players with the bench players to play, and there is no such thing as a sixth man in the Lakers.
No, at the critical moment, Kobe Bryant hit the iron, no one could stand up to help Kobe, the basketball was grabbed by the Kings' interior again, and at this time Bobby Jackson had already played a fast break, as the King's super sixth man, Bobby Jackson's offensive ability is quite good, and his judgment of the ball path is also quite accurate, although Kobe has used his greatest strength to chase Jackson, but he is still half a body short, Pollard directly made a long pass and handed the basketball to Jackson.
Then Jackson made a big emergency stop, and then jumped directly to shoot, Kobe Bryant still stretched out his hand when he was completely shaken away, and he was about to shoot the basketball, but he slapped Jackson's arm firmly.
"Foul!" The referee's whistle sounded at this moment, and Jackson had already shot, the basketball was in Jackson's hand, drawing a perfect arc, and then easily fell into the basket, 2+1, a very perfect ball.
"It's not easy to do!" Looking at the situation on the court, Jiang Yang also knew that the Lakers were in trouble now.
The Lakers don't have enough firepower on the bench here, and if the main team goes up to play, if a stick doesn't kill the Kings, then the Kings' benches can take advantage of the Lakers' main rest to snatch the points back.
"Don't worry, watch carefully!" Probably sensing the uneasiness in Jiang Yang's heart, Phil Jackson smiled and pointed to a player on the court, Devin George, who is known as the current super sixth man of the Lakers.
Bobby Jackson's free throw made a solid free throw to narrow the score to nine points for the Kings, but on the next offense, the Lakers seemed to find a pulse, and Devin George didn't give the ball to Kobe after dribbling through the half.
Instead, he broke through with the ball and attracted the attention of the opponent, Devin George made a simple horizontal pass and handed the ball to the outside of Hunt, who took the ball directly after receiving the ball, a three-pointer, and hit it very accurately.
The score was stretched to 12 points again, and although Jackson then scored on another shot, Devin George threw in a two-pointer without hesitation, and the score remained at 12 points on both sides, and Jackson hit again.
Kobe Bryant also found the crosshairs this time, hitting a two-pointer, and then Devin George hit another three-pointer to stretch the score to fifteen points! That allowed the Lakers to maintain a lead of more than 10 points, and until 4:48 left in the second quarter, Wallace combined two free throws to give the Kings a 39-49 lead.
Don't get me wrong, this Wallace is not the Ben Wallace or Gerard Wallace that everyone is familiar with.
It's Gerald Wallace, known as one of the league's eight non-famous interior players, who is very tough defensively.
He once became the league's steal king in the 05-06 season, while averaging 2.1 blocks per game, and his super blocks often appear in the top 10 balls, not so much that he is blocking, but rather in blocking!
But his unpretentious basketball style is not suitable for the current Kings, so he is destined to sit on the bench in the Kings, watching the score finally close to 10 points, but there are many key players in the Lakers at the moment.
Robert Horry is the famous Mr. Key! Horry hit a three-pointer to help the Lakers continue to pull away.
And Chris Webb, who had not played all this time, finally made a splash in the final moments of the second quarter.
He hit three consecutive shots and scored six points in a row, and if he played like this, he would have narrowed the score a long time ago.
However, on the Lakers side, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were in full bloom, and by the end of the first half, the Sacramento Kings were still 45-58 behind the Lakers by a full 13 points, and they only won by one point in the previous quarter......
"It seems that the Lakers have won......" Looking at the situation on the court, Jiang Yang said helplessly, this king is too vegetable.
"Won? Hehe, I don't even dare to say that, leading the Kings, even if it is twenty points, it can't be said to be a win! The old guy on the other side is not such an easy person to admit defeat! Phil Jackson looked at Jiang Yang next to him and said with a smile, after the end of the first half, the Lakers returned to the locker room, they are the leading team, the leading team means that their tactics are correct, in a stage like the Western Conference Finals, the strength of the two teams is about the same.
Since the tactics are correct, there is no need to make more adjustments to adapt to all changes, this is what Phil Jackson said at halftime, of course, Jiang Yang can also understand this as this old man should be lazy.
After the start of the third quarter, the game continued according to the rhythm of the Lakers, and at the beginning of the game, Christan hit a three-point shot from the outside to narrow the gap to 10 points, Horry hit a jumper, and Wade hit a backward shot......
The score remained at 10 points, and at the critical moment, the big shark, who had regained his strength, told the Kings.
What is the real dominance of the inside line, he first forced Divac on the inside, scored and caused Divac's foul, 2+1! He then hit a two-point jumper and then rushed inside, forcing Chris Webb to foul him.
But today's Sharks made a good free throw, making one of two free throws, and then hitting another jumper, the Sharks turned the Kings' interior upside down, and with 7 minutes and 28 seconds left in the game, the Lakers led the Kings by a full 14 points at 68-54......
It was not until this time that the original gorgeous tactics of the Kings team were finally played!
More than a minute later, Christian hit consecutive shots, Mike Bibby also hit a backward jumper in front of Xiaoyu, the Kings narrowed the score to ten points again, and then the Kings made persistent efforts, Mike Bibby broke through the inside line with the ball, causing Xiaoyu's foul, two free throws and two hits, Kobe made a mistake, and was scored two points again by Wade's jumper, and the gap continued to narrow!
With 2:44 left in the third quarter, the Kings narrowed the gap to seven points, and the Lakers were in danger!
"Jiang, warm up!" Just when Jiang Yang was thinking that Phil Jackson was not able to make adjustments, Phil Jackson spoke.
"Look, I knew he was going to make adjustments...... Jiang Yang originally thought that he had guessed correctly and was complacent, but when he understood, he looked at Phil Jackson in front of him with a surprised expression.
"I'm playing?" Jiang Yang pointed to his nose and looked at Phil Jackson with a surprised expression, this guy's brain is not broken, right, send me to play at this time? Isn't that? Playing yourself at such a critical time...... Play!
"Yes, that's you! Play! Phil Jackson looked at Jiang Yang with a dull expression, this guy is really cute.
"Just like your uncle! Get on the field! Listening to Phil Jackson's words, Jiang Yang could only stand up hard, take off his clothes, slowly walked to the technical desk, smiled at the fourth official of the technical desk, and then raised his hand high, seeing Jiang Yang raise his hand, Derek Fisher knew that he was here to replace himself.
After all, Jiang Yang's height can play center on the amateur basketball court, but in the NBA, he is a small guard.
"Come on, kill them!" Fisher whispered in Jiang Yang's ear before leaving the game.
"Uh...... I'll do my best to ......" Jiang Yang looked helpless, and ran to the field with a snap, and the game started again!
