Chapter 202: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain!

"Buying a gift?" Ivanka hurriedly refused: "That's not necessary, I don't lack gifts, you can just invite me to dinner." ”

"In this case, I can see that you are planning to save, so let's save to the end, I will cook for you once, is this okay?"

"Cook for me?" Ivanka's eyes lit up, if you want to say that the best taste of the country's cuisine in the world, there is definitely a Chinese food. Moreover, thinking of Zhong Yu, who was on the court, killing all sides and making Kobe unable to defend, a sense of absurdity with strong contrasts lingered in his heart.

However, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, I think you're a stingy guy." However, being able to eat your food, I think it's definitely a great experience! As long as I can meet you sometimes, I think I'll go and eat. ”

"Good!" Zhong Yu said: "Then I will leave the matter of my agent to you." ”

"Okay." Ivanka snorted.

Game 4 ―――――――― the Hornets and Lakers began at the New Orleans Arena.

This game is still the home of the Hornets.

In the previous game, the Hornets won a lot of glory in this arena.

Zhong Yu, also after one game after another, has become the most prominent figure in American basketball recently.

In this game, both sides still used the starting lineup, and the game has been played so far, and every player is tired, and this tiredness is not even just physical.

This kind of tiredness has reached the depths of the heart, and the intensive ball games one after another are indeed a huge torment for people's bodies and minds.

However, we still have to hold on, and now it's the Western Conference Finals, and although we are still some way away from the final victory, we are already far away.

This game, just after it began, it can be seen that the Lakers may have to unswervingly implement the tactics of playing basketball to the interior in this game.

They're going to make the most of their inside strengths! Everyone knows the shortcomings of the Hornets on the inside.

Since the Lakers have given full play to their interior advantages, the Hornets have really exposed their interior shortcomings when they compete with them. When the Hornets are on offense, they struggle to secure rebounds, and, because of the Lakers' interior blockade, the Hornets' breakout becomes quite difficult.

Even Paul, under the strict defense of the opponent, needs several blocks to get into the interior.

The Hornets' offense will be hard to open up.

Defensively, the opponent began to use the tactics of strong interior play, and no matter how the Hornets changed their formation, the Lakers' offensive focus was on their interior.

It is difficult for the Hornets to defend against the Lakers on the inside, and the Lakers' interior has several towers to force the Hornets to the inside, using various means to score. In addition, they are often able to guarantee their rebounds when they miss shots, so the Hornets can't withstand the Lakers' offense and defense.

And the Hornets, at this time, also adopted tactics against the surname and began to deal with the Lakers.

They mainly use outside attacks.

Although the Hornets are relatively weak on the inside, on the outside, they have an attack group and shooter group of Paul + West + Peja + Jongwook.

These people feel very good, especially Zhong Yu, his hit rate is there, and everyone knows how tough this person is.

The Hornets established this tactic and then began to implement it.

The Hornets' outside shooters started to come into play, and Chandler opened up space for Paul to break through. Although the effect was not very obvious, in short, in the second half of the second quarter, the Hornets started attacking in unison.

In the final six minutes of the second quarter, the Hornets went on a 16-7 run to tie the score in the final seconds before halftime.

In those six minutes, Zhong Yu hit a three-pointer and a mid-range shot to score five points, and Paul hit a three-pointer, and two free throws were made, making one of two free throws, and had four points and two assists.

Peja also had a three-pointer and West hit two mid-range shots.

Thanks to their efforts, the Hornets tied the score and went into the second half. It's just that the Lakers in the second half are still unswervingly ready to use their strengths to play the shortcomings of the Hornets.

The Lakers, who have the right guiding ideology, are also starting to score**.

Gasol is on the inside, scoring one after another, and even if he doesn't score, he can often make fouls. Other Lakers fans have also found their own positions and began to shine.

Defensively, the Hornets' outside offense also slowly cooled down, and the Lakers launched a 17-8 offensive wave not too long after the start of the third quarter.

This wave of attacks, although it can't be said that the Hornets were stunned, but the blow to them was indeed quite heavy. At the end of the third quarter, Zhong Yu hit a three-point jumper to help the Hornets recover a few points, and then the rest of the Hornets also scored a lot, but none of them could match the Lakers' offense and defense.

At the end of the game, the Hornets trailed the Lakers by seven points.

Of course, the Lakers will not allow themselves to lose this game, because if they lose this game, the Hornets will already lead the Lakers 3-1 in the total score, which is quite a dangerous thing, which means that the Lakers will also fall under the sting of the Hornets this time - after all, there are really not many teams that have completed the comeback after the 1-3 total score, which is quite limited.

Therefore, the Lakers tried their best and couldn't let the Hornets win this game.

The decisive battle in the last quarter began, the first ball, Paul passed to Zhong Yu, at this time, Zhong Yu did not make too many moves, and directly used an acceleration to enter his second area and then hit a jumper.

In this way, he also scored 19 points in this game, and he didn't score a lot today. Today's Zhong Yu doesn't feel very good, which causes him to not score much.

However, he also handed out 4 assists in this game, and he passed quite well.

The game continued to start, and the Lakers fought back successfully to score two points.

Zhong Yu felt really a little powerless, the Lakers are too strong now. The feeling is that it is not an easy task for the Hornets to score, but it requires a series of cooperation and the care of the last luck.

And the Lakers' scoring is simpler, especially Gasol, his scoring really feels like it's easy to come by.

He can always find his own opportunities, the big man of two meters and one hundred and sixteen, gives people a feeling of ease in the inside line.

Moreover, his mid-range shooting is quite accurate, and the mid-range shooting opportunities he gets can often be hit.

There is no doubt that the Lakers would not be the Lakers in the eyes of many people without Kobe, but without Gasol this season, the Lakers will definitely not be able to go that far.

In this way, the Lakers' interior line once again came into play in the fourth quarter of the game, and although the Hornets organized many counterattacks, they did not achieve much effect.

With the final whistle, the game ended on the Hornets' home court.

The Hornets lost to the Lakers at home with a score of 89-96.

After the whole game, Zhong Yu got 25 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, which is also very good, especially 25 points, which was obtained in the rain of bullets and bullets that the Lakers strictly defended, which is very golden.

Thus, after this game, the Hornets lost one game at home, and the overall score was 2-2, and the Lakers were drawn, and the two sides returned to the same running line.

The 2-2 draw has pushed players on both sides into a corner, and whoever loses the next game will be an unimaginably heavy blow for them.

Both teams, both want to win, no, they want to win!

Extreme desire for victory!

Although it was only four games, the players on both sides had a feeling of being too tired to move. In the past four games, although the fights have returned to the same starting line, the hard work of the teams in the middle and fighting each other makes people feel a little chilled when they think about it, and they don't want to go back to experience it again.

The game is really too tiring, even Kobe, the amount of training in the past few days has dropped greatly, mainly to maintain physical strength, in addition, this series has been played so far, everyone is physically and mentally exhausted.

They all want to end the fight as soon as possible...... Put an end to this torment with no end in sight.

And now, many people who follow the NBA have their eyes on Los Angeles! The city where the lights shine, where Game 5 between the Hornets and Lakers is about to begin.

The fifth game of the playoffs between the two teams is often referred to as the Battle of the Kings.

Few people know where this allusion comes from, but the fifth game, which is indeed somewhat important for both teams, can often give a sense of a very important situation.

No one can ignore this.

[Hornets, Lakers, Tianwang Mountain Battle Preview - Whether the Hornets can break the Lakers' interior advantage is the key. 】

There are more and more such prospects.

The Hornets have never been so hot.

They've had more fans lately and more exposure, mainly because of their performance in this playoffs.

Their performance has been fantastic, and the Hornets' sudden rise to prominence and his tremendous increase in exposure in various places have given the Hornets such and such results.

The management of the Hornets is indeed going crazy with laughter.

However, this battle of Tianwang Mountain is indeed quite important, and the Hornets also want to win.

It's not the first time I've been to Los Angeles, but every time I come here, Jongwook can feel a glitzy atmosphere. This time, they are going to have a fifth crucial battle with the Lakers in this flashy place, and whoever wins, who can get the match point.

After getting the match point, it will be quite difficult for the other team to turn the tables.

Before the start of this game, Zhong Yu was still with Scarlett. Johnson found a place to stay for a while.
