Chapter 321: Fight the Lakers Again

With the win over the Nets, the Spurs are back in the top three in the West again, and now they are second only to the Thunder, who are in first place in the West, and are only half a win away, and the Spurs can regain the top as long as the Spurs can beat the Lakers in the next game.

The brightly lit Staples Arena was already full. As long as 'Black Mamba' Kobe Bryant is still in Angel City for a day, he will be a huge box office appeal. Even though he is old, this is Kobe's influence in the City of Angels, and it is conceivable that even if one day, Kobe really can't play, he is still the pride of the city.

In the last game, Chen Feng fought until he ran out of ammunition, but he had the Heavenly King system, but he recovered early.

Now, he and his teammates are warming up for the game on the pitch.

The most enviable thing in the audience of the Lakers is probably the endless stream of Hollywood stars and sports stars, and they will naturally not be missing in this high-profile game.

Jessica Alba, Spike Lee, Tiger Woods and others were all on hand to watch tonight's game.

Tonight's game, TNT will broadcast the whole game, which means that the game will be broadcast live in the United States. And in China, this game has also received great attention.

The Lakers' starting five: center Pau Gasol, power forward Al Jefferson, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, playmaking guard Steve Nash.

Judging from the current Lakers lineup, point guard is the team's biggest weakness. Nash is old, and defense has always been the biggest problem. And Steve Blake is not up to the level of starting point guard.

Steve Blake is not much of a problem on the bench. But to make him a starter, I am afraid that the level is not enough.

The Spurs' lineup is still the same. The five starters are: Tim Duncan and Derrick Favors as interior partners, small forward Leonard, shooting guard Maddy, and playmaking guard Chen Feng. Parker has already started to return to training, but because the Spurs are coming straight to Los Angeles from Brooklyn, Parker will continue to rest the game.

The game started on time. Pau Gasol's mediocre bounce power makes him not very competitive in the jump ball.

Derrick Favors used his power and bounce to easily get in front of Pau Gasol and slapped the ball into Chen Feng's hands, and the first offense would be launched by the Spurs.

It was Steve Nash who was in charge of defending Chen Feng, and it was indeed a bit difficult for Steve Nash to defend Chen Feng.

A change of direction easily left him behind, and Steve Nash was very aggressive defensively. But in the case of an absolute disadvantage in speed, he could only watch Chen Feng enter the inner line.

The rest of the Lakers' players haven't had time to guard yet. Two steps inside the three-point line. Chen Feng hurried two steps. The body soared into the air with a light body, and at this time the Lakers' interior line was only Paul Gasol and Al Jefferson. Seeing that Chen Feng was so arrogant, he actually ignored the existence of the two.

Pau Gasol jumped high from outside the three-second zone, and his huge body firmly blocked the angle of Chen Feng's layup. Place your right hand on top of your head. Always ready to give Chen Feng a hat. And Al Jefferson didn't show weakness and became the second safety bolt under the basket.

D'Antoni sat on the sidelines. The expression was very relaxed, and Chen Feng's sudden activation just now. It did make him nervous. But see two players on the inside. almost completely blocked the possibility of Chen Feng's layup, D'Antoni was relieved, besides, he also saw clearly that the team in front of him did not belong to him at all, and all he had to do was to do a good job of commanding the scene in a corner.

Seeing the Lakers' interior defense, Chen Feng couldn't help but admire it in his heart. The two players defended in order, but they made up for the loopholes in the opponent's defense, if Chen Feng was not prepared, I am afraid that there would really be nothing to be done at this moment.

With Chen Feng's current character, he has always been steady-oriented in the game, as long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care how he performs. After his successful breakthrough, it has been noticed that Pau Gasol is quickly interspersed with baskets from the baseline.

Seeing that the bodies of the two were about to collide together, Chen Feng used his waist and abdomen to turn his body slightly sideways, avoiding Pau Gasol, his wrist was quickly pressed down, and the ball smashed from Pau Gasol's armpit to the floor.

The bouncing ball landed right in front of Tim Duncan, who was already in the three-second zone with his right foot, and the ball was in a comfortable position.

Paul Gasol's heel was off the ground at this time, and when he saw Chen Feng's pass, he was shocked, and quickly retracted his strength and quickly made up for the defense, but in such a delayed time, Tim Duncan had already jumped high and raised the ball behind his head with both hands.

Pau Gasol realized, but his center of gravity didn't have time to adjust, and his right hand weakly slapped Duncan's right elbow.

"Bang" Tim Duncan dunked the ball into the basket heavily, and Pau Gasol's remedial action not only did not work, but was blown a foul by the referee, giving Tim Duncan a chance to play 2+1.

"Whew", the basketball fell steadily into the basket, bringing up a circle of nets, Tim Duncan's free throw, 2+1 played!

Steve Nash is the Lakers' main organizational guard, but he is no longer the original son of the wind, basically responsible for bringing the ball safely across the half court, and the ball will fall into Kobe's hands, especially this season's gradual transformation of Kobe, although it has shared a lot of pressure on Nash, but it has also correspondingly reduced Nash's ball holdings.

Bryant's breakout is absolutely top-notch in the league, and his outstanding rhythm, coupled with his excellent physical confrontation ability, makes him almost invincible in his breakaway.

"Whew", Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range jumper.

On the Spurs' side, Maddy's shot missed, and Pau Gasol picked up a defensive rebound.

Kobe Bryant received the ball in the high post and broke through Maddie's defense in the face of Chen Feng. After a fake move directly, he turned around and threw a backward jumper, and with a "swish", it was another hollow shot into the net.

Tim Duncan's jumper left Pau Gasol, who was not guarded, completely helpless. Seeing that Tim Duncan's hand was warming up, Chen Feng was also happy to pass the ball into his hand and let him attack.

Seeing that the Spurs have slowly caught up with the score, the Lakers are also a little worried. But when it matters, they can rest assured that they can hand the ball to their team's boss Kobe. Kobe Bryant hasn't missed a shot so far.

When Kobe Bryant stepped past Leonard's defense in one step, Chen Feng immediately made up for it.

Although Chen Feng is very strong, his steps are also very dexterous and agile. Therefore, Kobe Bryant also has some difficulty in playing Chen Feng alone. But that doesn't bother Kobe, who is one of the sharpest offensive players in the league. Kobe Bryant singled Chen Feng with his back, pushed Chen Feng twice, and then turned around sharply and made a killer backward jumper. However, under Chen Feng's strict defense, Kobe Bryant's backward jumper failed to hit. Chen Feng was a little happy in his heart.

However, the rebound was snatched by Pau Gasol, and the second offense was scored.

Luckily, Tim Duncan, for his part, also responded with a jumper from inside the box.

The Lakers are on offense. Kobe Bryant cut in from the left wing with the ball, used Pau Gasol's blocking, got rid of Chen Feng's defense and smoothly rushed to the inside, facing Tim Duncan's penalty area defense, Kobe Bryant did not flinch, and directly shook the latter, a beautiful pick-and-roll. Unfortunately, the basket didn't hit. The rebound was snatched by Tim Duncan.

Bryant looked at the basket depressedly and made a shooting gesture. Then he shook his head.

Veterans are veterans after all, and they obviously have more experience than younger players. Tim Duncan took Pau Gasol and tossed the ball to his teammate. It was Maddie who received the ball. After receiving the ball, Maddie dribbled twice, and after half-time, it was handed over to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng stabilized the position, now is not the time to play fast attack, the other five are in the defensive area, and it is obviously unreasonable to play fast attack. Steve Nash, the blonde boy of the year, has now become an old guy, although he still works hard defensively, but unfortunately defending a speed and skill player like Chen Feng still makes Steve Nash very difficult.

Chen Feng glanced at the inside line, and Derek Favors pulled out of the inside line and took the initiative to make a block for Chen Feng.

With the help of Derrick Favors, Chen Feng got rid of Steve Nash's defense more easily. After rushing to the inside line, in the face of Kobe's misplaced defense, Chen Feng shook his hand, and the ball passed to Leonard in the bottom corner of the right wing. Leonard opened his hand and threw a three-pointer, and with a "bang", he really went in.

Kobe Bryant smiled slightly and gave Chen Feng a thumbs up. Chen Feng also had a hint of joy in his heart, but then he forcibly suppressed the joy and quickly retreated to defend.

Steve Nash possessed the ball past halftime and didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Bryant's hands. Bryant didn't attack either, instead hoisting the ball into the hands of Pau Gasol, an interior player who has been doing well lately.

Pau Gasol received the ball, dribbled the ball a few times with his back, and then flicked a hook left and right, and the ball went in.

With a "bang", Chen Feng missed a jump shot, and Kobe Bryant grabbed the backcourt rebound. With a "bang", it was Pau Gasol who hit a goal.

Chen Feng successfully narrowed the gap to a point difference with a strong beat to Steve Nash, which can be regarded as a response to Kobe.

"Bang Dang" was another iron sound, and Derrick Favors happily accepted the backcourt rebound, and then handed it to Chen Feng.

Through the confrontation with Steve Nash, Chen Feng learned that Steve Nash's strength is weak, and his speed and agility are far inferior to before, especially his follow-up defense ability and physical strength are extremely problematic. Chen Feng thinks he has no trouble breaking through Steve Nash now. (To be continued......)
