Section 4! Because the difference was only 5 points, the Lakers had to replace all the starters early, and the starting five tigers, including Li Chen, returned to the court in turn. Insufficient rest is secondary, after all, according to the Lakers' style of play, they can't consume much physical strength, and the key old monk is afraid that the bad state of the substitutes will continue to the main lineup, if that is the case, then this game will be dangerous.

However, the Zen master is obviously overthinking this time, even the most serious Kobe Bryant, he is not overly worried about the current situation of the team, everyone in the Purple and Gold Army thinks very thoroughly, the strength of the Lakers is stronger than the Nuggets, as long as they play steadily, the Nuggets will not be able to reverse successfully!

"Hey, I'm here again!" After half the game, Li Chen found that the nerve knife was still quite interesting, although the surname Ge was a bit annoying, but it was also because he was too enthusiastic about the game, especially JR's slight injury and not being in the line of fire also touched Li Chen a little. "How about another three?"

The excellent play of the bench put JR in a good mood, "Three points? Perhaps, and then another two! ”

"Don't you think about it!" Li Chen pursed his lips, "Next, you just wait for the score difference to widen, we will win this game!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Melon who walked by said, "I'm going to hit a three-pointer soon!" Without waiting for Li Chen to refute, Anthony dodged away, although he was full of confidence, he still had to concentrate during the game.

I'm going to hit a three-pointer! I'll hit a three-pointer! With this belief, Melon made a shot in the subsequent attack, and it turned out that Melon's big heart was not in vain, and he really scored a three-pointer.

"It's really in!" Li Chen raised his eyebrows, he could see that the melon had entered the best state, if he was not restricted, the Lakers would really be able to fall behind, of course, this kind of thing still has to be counted on Tiezha, and he must show his value to win the trust of others by defense.

While thinking in his mind, Li Chen's hand was not ambiguous, he took a step back and then suddenly accelerated, and then handed a back pass to Kobe Bryant who was inserted from behind, and the great god forced a layup, and the pit father's Nene made up for a free throw.

2+1, which is also a three-point shot, and the point difference is back to 5 points.

Melon shook his head, if Kobe Bryant didn't score, the Nuggets might be able to overtake him with one attack, but now, they have to stabilize the situation again.

Billups attacked with the ball, not to Li Chen's expectations, although the bald guy did enough to attack inside, but in the end he still handed the ball into Anthony's hands, the melon is now hot, and the Nuggets have no reason to put this big killer weapon in tow.

Ariza watched his opponent's movements vigilantly, and since the old monk unconditionally believed in his defense, Tieza would not disappoint. He stared at the basketball in Melon's hand and didn't dare to slack off.

The melon moved, accelerating the breakthrough, and his strong body made him seem unstoppable. Ariza was firmly attached to Anthony's side, and he tried to cause a little trouble for the other party, but now the melon was clearly not afraid of trouble.

Taking advantage of Ariza's footsteps to move sideways, Anthony suddenly retracted his body and hit a clean pull-up jumper.

After the goal, Melon had a bright smile on his face, especially when he was looking in the direction of Li Chen, and the Lakers fans at the scene were immediately furious, is this declaring war on the Big Apple? Is it more charming than whose smile?

The boos rang out throughout the stadium, and the melon's smile might captivate people in Denver, but this is Los Angeles, and the audience doesn't come to see the opponent laugh when they buy tickets. In view of Anthony's provocation, the audience strongly hopes that Li Chen can return one, and at the same time, he will also add a smile that is even brighter than the other party!

Kobe Bryant controls the ball, and no one can guess whether he chooses to attack personally or break through the ball, it all depends on his mood.

JR stuck to Li Chen's side like a dogskin plaster, and this feeling of restraint made Big Apple feel the need to move his muscles and bones.

Running towards the baseline and then moving in the opposite direction in an instant when JR's center of gravity shifts, this set of counter-runs is almost exhausted, and as the simplest of all strategies to get rid of defenders, he has firmly grasped the essence of it.

In the final analysis, it is just a sudden surname, as long as the reverse run is fast enough and sudden enough, it can generally throw off the defender for a short distance, although it is only a small section, but it plays a role in paving the way for the next action.

Tiezara came out to cover for Li Chen, and JR had to switch guards with Anthony because he was blocked. But the Big Apple was like a slippery loach, and he continued to drill into the line, and the melon followed him firmly.

The Nuggets' interior line was a little crowded because of Li Chen's air cut, and when Kobe Bryant saw this situation, he immediately accelerated to break through to the other side of Li Chen.

The boss's deterrent power does not need to be emphasized, from the moment he stepped into the free throw line, the Nuggets tried to wrap him, and long-term experience has told them that if they really want to give Kobe Bryant a burst to the basket, the least consequence will be a foul, and if you are unlucky, it will be 2+1.

No one can guard Kobe, you can only try to limit his play. This is a well-established view among NBA players, and Nuggets players are equally convinced of it, and the defensive pressure has all converged on Kobe Bryant at this time.

Seeing this situation, Li Chen was very happy and ran to the bottom corner, although it is not certain that the boss will not pass the ball, but he has already run out of the position, if there is really no one to pass the ball, then it is purely a familiarity with tactics.

The boss doesn't know what he looks like in the eyes of the younger brother, and if he knew, I believe he wouldn't have the next pass.

Following the gap in the opponent's defense, Kobe Bryant squeezed in with the ball, of course, he also knew that the position under the basket was not very good, so he chose to divide the ball.

Looking at the boss's flashing and moving on the inside, Li Chen was envious in his heart, and now he can only play a toss or a stop-and-go jump shot at most, and he can only think about difficult means like a pull rod or a big windmill.

Of course, that's not to say he can't do it, and if the interior line is empty, then he still has a chance, but obviously, the Nuggets' package has made their interior a little too crowded, so crowded that no one notices that the outside corner is missing a person.

There is no doubt about the shooting percentage of the big Apple's empty shots, as the most accurate shooting player in the league, if this kind of ball is missed, he will not only be sorry for the audience, but also sorry for Kobe Bryant, who sent him an assist.

Swish! Li Chen didn't even have to look at it, he ran backwards after making a shot, his leisurely movements and the lazy smile on his face, the fans at the scene instantly became excited, and many of them even whistled.

"This guy!" Kobe Bryant watched the little brother's performance helplessly, although the big apple stole his limelight a little, but the boss never had any unusual emotions. On the one hand, because Li Chen's arrival brought the Lakers the hope of a championship, and on the other hand, because the other party can be regarded as half of his apprentice, the combination of the two parties has created a situation in the eyes of outsiders that Kobe Bryant connived at the Big Apple.

Maybe it's a bit too indulgent, but the harmony in the Lakers' locker room this season is obvious to all, and people have always thought that Kobe Bryant and Li Chen will have a falling out one day, but at least until now, there is still no evidence that this situation has happened.

Although the Big Apple is young but knows how to be restrained, and Kobe Bryant is no longer the black mamba that has no one in his eyes and no room for anyone, it is precisely because of the wisdom of both sides that the Lakers' championship dream is getting closer and closer to reality......

The Nuggets once again transitioned the ball into Anthony's hands, and although the offensive point was a bit single, only melons were the most worthy of relying on at this time.

However, while a single point of offense is stable, the shortcomings are also obvious, and anyone knows that the Nuggets will put the ball in Anthony's hands, and Tiezha is no exception. He's been waiting for an opportunity, and now, he's finally waiting.

JR's overly casual pass was caught in the line by Tieza, and even if he missed after a steal, Ariza still saved because he believed in his defensive prowess, and luckily, he was right.

"Ariza broke the ball!" Mark Jackson exclaimed, "For the Nuggets who are trying to equalize, this steal is very demoralizing. ”

Van Gundy nodded, "It's true, it's the final quarter, and the Nuggets are still on the side behind, and they can't afford to make mistakes!" ”

The Lakers broke the ball and broke the fast break, and Kobe Bryant put the ball into the basket steadily!

The Nuggets who have the ball again are much more cautious, and the score on the big screen allows them to see the situation of the game clearly, indeed, they are the behind side, the Lakers can do whatever they want, but they don't have that qualification, if they still want to win.

JR got the ball, he didn't pass it directly to Anthony, maybe it was a mistake just now that embarrassed him a little, he seemed to want to take the blame, he wanted to score the goal himself.

It's a good idea, but no one has ever said that the guilty merit is to score the ball himself, and in addition to being on his own, JR can create opportunities for his teammates by running and covering, or be more active on the defensive end, but Nerveknife doesn't seem to think of this, he just wants to score the ball.

No matter how obvious the offensive ** is, Li Chen is sure that his opportunity has come, if he can prevent JR's attack, then his defensive efficiency value in this game may increase a lot.

Jumper? Li Chen looked at the movements of the nerve knife slightly speechlessly, and at the same time a little angry, no matter how strong his self-confidence is, he can't ignore his existence like this, although the bounce is average, but the difference in height and arm span can not be smoothed out by self-confidence and the advantage of bounce alone!

Lunatic! Li Chen defined the opponent in his heart, but this kind of slander could not calm the unhappiness in his heart, he felt that it was necessary for the other party to realize his existence.

The overlooking angle made people feel a sense of accomplishment, and Li Chen enjoyed this moment very much, especially the stunned look on his opponent's face also made him feel very satisfied.

Hum! Now aware of the problem? Li Chen thought indignantly, and at the same time, the movements in his hands did not stop, and his raised right hand slapped heavily towards the basketball that had just taken off!

Syllable! The condescending power made Li Chen shoot the ball away without any suspense, although JR Smith didn't want to believe it, but this is the case, he was rewarded with a fresh hot pot by the defensive colander Big Apple, and this was also the only block that Li Chen gave out in the whole game. For Li Chen, who only averages more than 0.3 blocks per game, this time is enough for him to hold out for three games.

JR is a little stunned, being capped by the Big Apple is not a wonderful thing, itself is because Li Chen's defense is not good, so every time he blocks and steals are more concerned, JR can already have a premonition that tomorrow's photos in the newspaper, especially in connection with the previous mistakes, no one can say what Nuggets fans will think of him!

The Lakers' offensive enthusiasm began to boil completely from Li Chen's block, following Kobe's strong play, Gasol on the inside scored one after another, and Bynum also seized the opportunity to complete a supplementary dunk. As for Li Chen, who has been hanging on the outside, his two three-pointers are like icing on the cake, completely cutting off the hope of the Nuggets' reversal.

In the face of Kobe's 34 points, Li Chen had 18 points and 11 assists, and Gasol's 21 points and 13 rebounds, the number of 29 still seemed a little weak.

Winning the first game, the Lakers have completed the pre-game task, through this game, they also have a comprehensive understanding of the chips that the Nuggets can get, there is no doubt that since the Nuggets lost the first game, they are not destined to set off too much storm in the following games!
