At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers made a change of formation, and Robert Hawley, who did not play well in the first half, was pressed to the bench by Harris in the second half, and he was replaced by Eldon Campbell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At the start of the game, the Trail Blazers showed their form to the next level, and their offense became more violent.

Without Hawley, the Lakers' ability to move the ball did stagnate, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant and Tony are in very good shape, and they can still cause damage to the Trail Blazers inside and outside.

However, the Lakers' biased individual offensive style of play is still relatively easy to be limited, and the Trail Blazers began to focus on the Lakers' two arrow tasks to wrap and defend, and the offensive efficiency of the two suddenly began to decline, and the Lakers were overtaken by the Trail Blazers.

Harris called several timeouts in an attempt to extinguish the flames of the Trail Blazers' offense, but it didn't work.

After a couple of double-eyed performances in the first half, Campbell was lacklustre in the second half, with the exception of the occasional open goal, where his role was very limited.

Once the Lakers' two cores are restricted, the other players can't step up in time to take on more responsibilities, which makes the Lakers' situation very awkward. They couldn't fight back effectively against the Trail Blazers' offense, but Toney and Kobe Bryant were still using hard goals to keep the Lakers alive, but the gap has widened, and if the Lakers don't make any changes, their season will really be over.

The fans at the Forum Arena were still contributing their enthusiasm, but they also seemed to have noticed the team's current difficulties, and although their cheers were still loud, they felt a little lacking in breath no matter how they listened.

At the end of the third quarter, 70:83, the Lakers were already trailing by 13 points.

The Lakers' home court fell into a dead silence.

Everyone can't understand that the Lakers, who originally had an absolute lead of 2:0, have now fallen on the verge of elimination.

Like the crowd, the Lakers' players fell silent, they were able to maintain their lead at the end of the first half, but they didn't expect to fall behind so much in just one quarter.

"Cheer up! Lads! The game isn't over yet! Harris was loudly motivating the players, there was already a hint of fear in his heart, the fear of losing control of the unknown, but he couldn't show that fear, if he was scared, then the game would have been lost, "There is still a quarter to go, we still have a chance!" Believe me! We can defeat them! ”

Tony was gasping for air, he didn't listen to Harris, because his eyes had drifted to the bench of the Trail Blazers opposite, watching those guys sing and dance one by one, as if they had won the game, his heart was angry but helpless.

Now that the Lakers have lost their momentum, it can be said that it is very difficult to win this game.

Like Toney, Bryant's eyes were fixed on the Trail Blazers' players, his eyes filled with anger, but no one could guess what he was thinking.

"Go win this game! Guys! Harris concluded.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers serve.

As soon as Fisher dribbled the ball into the half-court, Bryant ran out and reached for the ball, and Fisher simply handed the ball to him.

Ryder stood on the three-point line and stared closely at Kobe Bryant, who was slowly dribbling closer, his whole body tensed, and now they only need a quarter to win, provided that they guard Kobe.

Bryant kept crossing the dribble and quickly read the defense on the court, his expression was very determined.

Suddenly, he activated, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and he overtook Ryder with a change of direction at an accelerated pace.

Ryder stuck to Kobe Bryant as best he could, and he just wanted someone to come and help with the defense.

Wallace stepped forward to make up for Kobe Bryant's breakthrough as soon as he broke through Ryder, and he blocked Kobe's breakthrough lane.

However, Bryant had no intention of making physical contact with Wallace, and he jumped directly halfway through.

Ryder was behind Kobe, who jumped up and tried to block Kobe as he saw his jumper.

It's coming!

Ryder's hand touched Kobe's shot, and he managed to disrupt Kobe's shot, but before he could get too happy, he saw that Kobe Bryant had once again taken the deflected basketball into his arms and then jumped again.

Ryder's speed was not enough to support him to jump up again to block Kobe's shot, and he could only watch as Bryant hit the basket.

72:83

When it came to the Trail Blazers' possession, Ryder was a little annoyed that he had just failed to stop Kobe, and he also offered to ask to single Kobe, but Kenny Anderson rejected him, and now the game is at the most critical moment, and they are not suitable for a momentary mood.

After several turns, the ball came to Robinson, who faced Jones, who was half a head shorter than him, and he decisively chose to dry pull.

Jones almost sealed his hand on Robinson's face, but Robinson had a very good touch and still made a hollow three-pointer.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' point difference was opened up by one point.

This time Bryant didn't ask for the ball anymore, and he started running without the ball. The Trail Blazers' perimeter defense was leaky, and Fisher couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so Toney had to run up to the top to meet Fisher.

Sabonis didn't have that wide range defensively, he just took two symbolic steps forward and didn't follow the ground too closely.

Naturally, Tony would not give up this great opportunity to open the spot, and he hit a jump shot directly.

Harris's eyes lit up when he saw this, and a bold plan took shape in his head, and he called a timeout just a minute into the game.

"Our interior line is too crowded, Campbell and Toney's functions overlap, next, Tony, you are like just now, stand in the high position to respond, create space for our interior line, if Sabonis doesn't come out to defend then you will keep shooting him in the high position, until he comes out to defend, as long as Sabonis is forced out, Kobe and Jones you will keep cutting in and attacking their interior line." Harris quickly laid out the next move.

His idea is very bold, although he sacrifices Toney's deterrence under the basket, but if Tony succeeds in containing Sabonis in the high post, the Trail Blazers' defensive ability on the interior will be greatly reduced, and their interior defense core is Sabonis, so that the Lakers can get more offensive space.

When it comes to positioning, Harris doesn't believe that Robinson and Ryder can keep up with Kobe and Jones.

Now, it depends on whether Tony's mid-range shooting is stable enough.
