Chandler hit a layup to make it 9-10 and put the Hornets up by one point.

The game didn't show its ability to control the game early on, as some expected.

In this quarter of the game, Zhong Yu, the notorious executioner who slaughtered the Lakers by the Hornets in the first two games, did not show a very strong offense in this game.

He hit a shot at the beginning of the first quarter, missed two jumpers in a row, and then he didn't shoot much.

However, his impact on the team has not diminished because of this. Instead, Zhong Yu also passed a few balls and handed out a few assists. Because Jongwook can pass the ball and his scoring is known to the whole world, the Lakers have to distract more of their defense from Jongwook.

In this way, Zhong Yu's every move is cared about by many people.

What makes the Lakers players unhappy is that Zhong Yu always walks around in the Lakers' half of the court when he is offensive, and there is occasional chaos with the Lakers' defense.

As a result, the help that Zhong Yu brought to the Hornets was obvious in front of everyone.

Throughout the first quarter, Zhong Yu delivered 2 assists, and he was also very good in terms of invisible contributions to the team.

At the end of the quarter, the score was 23-22, and the Lakers temporarily led by one point, but even in the final moments of the game with only one second left, no team would feel no pressure because of this one-point lead.

So. The Lakers and Lakers fans will not be let up by this point.

Zhong Yu also scored by himself in this quarter, to be honest, if Kobe Bryant's firepower is full and Kobe Bryant's hand is very good, Zhong Yu will not be able to prevent Kobe.

On the contrary, if Zhong Yu turned on his maximum firepower. If you play as hard as you can, Kobe Bryant can't prevent Zhong Yu.

Jongwook was also always able to seize opportunities to score, in the first quarter. Jongwook's stats are 7 points and 2 assists, which is actually a good performance, and the key is to count those invisible help to the team. Zhong Yu's ability is even more obvious.

And Zhong Yu's jump shot is also very stable, and the accuracy of his shooting is still in it.

Kobe Bryant's face was grim, and he felt that hope was ahead of him in this game, but he also felt that the road was very tortuous, and the Hornets were definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.

Then, the game began in the second quarter, and Ariza saw his old club, and he was very angry and played very well.

The Lakers' perimeter. Almost locked on the outside by Ariza's goods.

The outside and inside passes couldn't be played, Vujacic was given a cap by Ariza, and the Lakers bench was beaten to the point of demoralization.

The fans next to the stadium shouted at the stadium angrily: "Damn, play better!" ”

"My grandma played. The balls are better than yours. Some of the fans in the audience couldn't help but curse, and they directly booed the substitutes in the basketball court...... Suddenly, the Lakers' benches looked very ugly and hungry.

Booed by their home fans, although the fans are also in a hurry, because the Lakers have lost two games. Can't afford to lose anymore.

But their faces were still very ugly.

The Lakers' bench players, who were enraged by the boos of the fans next to the court, also began to play, and they did their best to start a defensive battle with the Hornets' bench.

It's just that the Hornets' bench played very well, and their bench was originally more defense-oriented.

The Hornets' benches gave the main players a five-point lead, and in the face of such a lead, Paul and Jongwook were not welcome. …,

Especially Zhong Yu, he only scored 7 points in the first quarter, and he will not let go of such an opportunity in the second quarter.

After the Hornets sent their main players onto the court, the first ball was in the hands of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant held the ball, and the Lakers now need to score a goal to maintain their morale.

Kobe Bryant hoisted the basketball safely into the inside, and after Gasol dribbled twice, he turned around to make a layup, but he got a little out of his hand, and Paul came in and filmed his basketball.

Gasol made a mistake at the critical moment, and Zhong Yu also chased in to turn Paul's steal into a counterattack, Zhong Yu drove the speed to the maximum and ran directly towards the half court.

Kobe Bryant chased all the way, and the two of them came all the way to the basket.

At this time, the two were on the left side of the basket, Zhong Yu made a shooting feint, Kobe Bryant jumped up, and flew out of the baseline because he was too hard, so Zhong Yu put away the basketball and turned around, and turned to the other side of the basket to make a layup.

"Huh!"

Basketball is there.

The Hornets extended the score to seven points.

The Lakers began to fight back, and Fisher controlled the ball on the outside to keep everyone from panicking and gave the Hornets a ball.

After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he broke through the inside line and distributed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol distributed it to Bynum, and his pass was very good, and he attracted the bag and then wore it, giving Bynum enough time and space.

Bynum then threw the basketball into the basket and bounced it straight into the net.

The Lakers chased two points back.

Then, the ball on the Hornets' side, Paul broke through all the way into the inside, and then he jumped up in the sky and divided the basketball to Peja on the baseline, Peja gave the basketball to West at the top of the arc, West did not stop the ball, and passed directly to Zhong Yu on the other side of the baseline.

Zhong Yu received the pass, and immediately it was an unreasonable and crisp jumper.

"Huh!" Three-pointers are also available.

The margin was widened to 8 points.

…………

Next, the two teams went back and forth and played very fiercely.

So, at the end of the second quarter, there was already a lot of talk on the court.

"Jongwook's scoring ability is really strong...... Compared to the regular season, it seems to be an improvement. ”

"His scoring ability, he's been improving, and now he can hit the range from two steps beyond the three-point line to cover the entire half."

"Such an opponent is really a strong enemy."

"No wonder, in the first two games, he scored 65 points in one game and 54 points in one game! This kind of scoring ability is really terrifying. ”

The fans' discussion is not unreasonable, mainly because in the second quarter of the game, after the main team of the Hornets re-appeared, Zhong Yu suddenly changed the style of play in the first quarter that seemed to be mainly to mobilize teammates and try to create positions for teammates in the offense.

After Jongwook reappeared in the second quarter, he re-became the scoring machine that made Lakers fans want to scold when they mentioned it.

Three-point shot, he can always throw in, two-point jump shot, evil old age, break through the inside line, not only can shoot the ball, but also can easily cause the opponent's foul!

After a series of combination punches, the Lakers and Hornets have been held up by the scores that were pulled away by the Hornets' bench, and even expanded on this basis.

No wonder fans have so much resentment, and that's why.

At the end of the first half, the score was 56-47 and the Hornets had a nine-point lead.

The Lakers players are not good-looking, there is a feeling of shamelessness to see Jiangdong's father, they were beaten by the Hornets for two consecutive away games, this back to the home court, they were already behind by 9 points at halftime.........,

Such a result really made them feel frustrated, embarrassed, and unable to raise their heads......

In the second quarter, Zhong Yu scored 11 points in a single quarter, and was the main contributor to the Hornets' nine-point lead in this quarter.

At the end of the first half, Jongwook's total score rose to 18 points.

…………

In the locker room of the Lakers, the atmosphere was dull, especially Kobe, who didn't say a word, his face was gloomy, and no one dared to touch Kobe's moldy head.

Many of the Lakers' players, especially those who have no background and no status on the team, would rather go to the sewers and climb for a year than stay with Kobe.

So sometimes, some people question that Kobe Bryant can't become a leader, and there is indeed some truth to it, and his personality is really not suitable.

At times like these, leaders have to stand up and comfort everyone, while also scoring points to get everyone emotional, rather than sitting with Kobe Bryant with a black face.

After the game just started, the Lakers played fiercely.

The players were really affected by Kobe, and they were really afraid to see Kobe's stinky face again...... Therefore, in this regard, Kobe Bryant can still mobilize the emotions of the players in the team in a sense.

Although this method is more offbeat......

In this quarter of the game, Zhong Yu led the players of the Hornets to score one after another, and his shooting percentage also decreased slightly.

On the Lakers' side, scoring is more intensive, and their shooting percentage is gradually higher than that of the Hornets.

Because most of their balls are done with strong inside shots.

Not to mention the increase in hit rate, the key is ...... The intensity of the Lakers' fight for rebounds in this quarter has increased dramatically, to the point where the Hornets can't adapt for the time being.

They are under the basket, and they are really fighting for every inch of land.

Every time the rebound bounced, the Lakers' interior players lit up with their eyes and tried their best to compete.

The Lakers grabbed a lot of rebounds in this quarter, exploded the Hornets on rebounds, and after the Lakers' fighting spirit and shooting percentage, they regained their own lead in this quarter.

Thus, at the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 83-79, and the Lakers overtook the Hornets by four points to enter the fourth quarter.

Although there are not many points behind, but after this quarter is played, the Lakers' interior line begins to exert its power again, and the Hornets are very dangerous-

Don't forget, they just lost on the inside last season! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
