Chapter 127: Nuggets VS Lakers (2)
"Beautiful, Bryant is still one of the best scorers in the league, and Afflaro has no way to take him, see this turnaround shot? It's as beautiful as a long shot in a movie! Ricciardo does not hide his love for Kobe Bryant, you must know that playing basketball now is not just about scoring, sometimes the beauty of shooting will also deepen the fans' love for him, such as Iverson's speed, Kobe's soft touch is an excellent weapon for pulling fans, and even Winnie the Pooh's flowing mid-range jumper is also a sight to behold.
After the great god cut two points, the two sides fought to 16:18, the ball is still in the hands of Luo Yun, the little guy can be regarded as a blow to Sessions today, although he has not scored many points so far, but as long as everything is in the basket, it will inevitably attract a number of defenders of the Lakers, and then distribute the ball to Farid on the inside and Gallinari on the outside are good choices.
Luo Yun was swimming outside the three-point line, Sessions was particularly nervous by the little guy's flexible footsteps, and at this time Luo Yun also took the opportunity of Faridra to block and directly hit the basket, the half-orc immediately turned around and started to ask for the ball to the basket after the block was successful, but unfortunately the Lakers seemed to have known the plans of the two for a long time, Sessions was quickly turned around and hit the stinky boy with Bynum after being taken a step, the Los Angeles people have been staring at Winnie the Pooh very tightly, at this time Luo Yun has no chance to guide the ball to the inside.
The little guy rolled his eyes, and directly deceived Bynum with a fake action, and his legs kicked up hard, and his whole body suddenly twisted, and the basketball instantly appeared in the hands of Aflaro, who ran back from the outside, and Bryant immediately made up for it sideways when he saw this. The big brother took the ball and rushed directly to the basket. Seeing this, Farid pulled out and stuck Kobe Bryant, who was making up the defense, behind him. Immediately afterwards, I saw Affraro throwing in the face of Gasol's high-arm block, extremely decisive!
"Huh!"
The basketball swiped over Gasol's fingertips and fell straight into the net!
Two-point hit.
Offensive and defensive switch, Sessions quickly came to the front court after taking the ball and handed it to Bryant who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the left side, the great god took the ball and dribbled twice and directly hoisted the ball to Gasol who asked for the ball on the side of the free throw line, Avlaro opened his arms and desperately interfered with the passing sight of the great god, but this had no effect at all, Bryant threw the ball in after two tests. Gasol quickly turned to the basket after getting the ball, and Farid also blocked him without slacking off, and his sister-in-law took a step back and then failed to find a suitable cut opportunity with continuous feints, so she could only lean on Farid and pass the ball to the outside god again.
However, at this moment, Gasol suddenly turned his back to Farid, and the basketball that was sent out was also returned to his hands again, but at this time the sister-in-law was already very close to the basket, and after taking the ball, she quickly turned her head and made a feint, and then turned her whole body directly to the right with her right foot as the axis, and the whole body was facing the basket again, and the slender body was raised with her arms high. With a flick of the wrist, the basketball comes out!
Farid had made up for it in time. But Gasol's shooting point was too high for him to defend at all, so he could only watch the basketball fall into the frame!
"Huh!"
Gasol and Kobe Bryant's goals were successful, and in the first quarter of the game, Gasol fully played his All-Star level strength, and the Spaniard was arguably one of the most well-rounded power forwards, and his performance today was completely different from the regular season.
But before the Lakers fans began to celebrate, the Nuggets' counterattack began to stage, after a long pass from Winnie the Pooh across the midfield, the elder brother Afflalo used Farid's blocking to shoot directly at the free throw line, and cut down two points, and at this time the Lakers were caught off guard at all, watching the numbers on the scoreboard keep rising alternately, and the battle between the two sides became more and more stalemate.
“GOGOGO!”
Under the shouts of Loyun, the Nuggets quickly retreated, and the defensive intensity of each team in the playoffs has risen by more than one notch, and even the Nuggets, who are in a mess in defense, are fighting fiercely, Sessionses quickly poured it to Barnes at the left three-point line after taking the ball, the latter did not dare to shoot in the face of Gallinari, the playoffs are different from the regular season, and every opportunity to shoot is extraordinarily precious, It was better for Barnes, who averaged 3.2 points per game, to stop, so he did the same, giving the ball to Bryant, who was not far away.
However, at this time, the great god did not make a move but quickly handed the ball to Gasol in the high position, and after Spain took the ball, he turned sideways to block Luo Yun behind him, and then quickly gave the ball to the hands of Sessions who ran back, who came to the top of the three-point arc and shot directly!
"Bang!"
The piercing sound of iron made Lakers fans sigh, Gallinarika stole the rebound behind Bynum, and then quickly brought the ball to the front court, after the last lesson, the Lakers' retreat speed was significantly accelerated, and the stubbornness did not dare to rashly launch a fast attack at the moment, generally speaking, in the playoffs, both sides are fighting defense and counterattacking, after all, the other four people on the court cannot have extremely skilled dribbling skills like Winnie the Pooh, as long as the person who holds the ball is caught by the opponent, it will definitely cause a mistake, So everyone played more conservatively at first.
Gallinari directed the ball to Luo Yun outside the three-point line, and at this time the Lakers were still using big defense, using Pau Gasol to defend Luo Yun, and at this time the Spaniards' defensive space was also relatively large, but as long as Luo Yun moved, he would make up for it as soon as possible, but even so, Winnie the Pooh began to rush into the basket as always.
Luo Yun's galloping speed made the fans in the stadium exclaim, and Gasol immediately followed Luo Yun's pace sideways, but the Spaniard is not Luo Yun's opponent even if his feet are flexible, the little guy dodged into the basket, and Bynum on the other side pounced directly, but at this moment, Luo Yun did not slow down at all, and jumped up with an extremely elegant lever to avoid Bynum's defense, and then sent the ball into the air!
"Huh!"
Basketball went to the net, and the Nuggets went to the next level.
In the first quarter, the two sides played most of the wonderful shots, and the Nuggets also knew the difficulties of the playoffs, so they were extraordinarily stable. This is a far cry from their free-spirited style of play. But we can see how fast the Denver people have grown this season. When the Lakers have the natural advantage of the inside twin towers, this group of young men can still bite the score and defend the opponent, which is a kind of victory, although the first quarter to Zuihou The two sides played 26:28 Lakers lead, but the performance of the Denver people was really amazing.
However, as soon as the game came up in the second quarter, Luo Yun, who was still on the court, used McGee's blocking to quickly cut down two points with a throw, and the little guy was grabbing points, taking advantage of the Lakers' unstable foothold to make a decisive move.
In the second quarter, George Karl was replaced by Javier McGee, while the shooting guard was replaced by Corey Brewer. In order to increase the team's height on the court, the Lakers also replaced Sessions with Steve Blake, who has hit 37 three-pointers this season and is unusually consistent in shooting, as long as you miss him, it will inevitably be reversed.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, after Winnie the Pooh successfully grabbed the points, Blake immediately came back and returned the color with Gasol's assistance, hitting two points with a mid-range jumper.
"The Lakers' lineup still seems to focus on Gasol and Blake, and the combination of Nuggets interior McGee and Harrington is also a good choice, but at this time George Karl should use Miller Sr. After all, this is in the playoffs, and Luo Yun should keep his stamina to appear at a critical time! Director Zhang Weiping, who is located on CCTV5 channel of CCTV in Beijing, is talking in the studio. The most broadcast of this series is the Heat, Lakers and Nuggets, and every time the Lakers play, he is there, as for the reason for this, everyone must understand!
"But this may also be one of the purposes of George Karl's training, a rookie can only be trained in the playoffs when he really grows up, and Loyun's talent is excellent, and at the age of 19, it is rare to have four years of NCAA playing experience, but he is still a little immature to play with these old oils in the NBA!" Yu Jia smiled, in fact, he wanted to talk about the stinky boy's lace news, but this is not allowed at all in the domestic conditions.
It's quite interesting to leave a text message at the bottom of the TV screen, many fans have complained that there are too few shots of beautiful women on the sidelines, a fan named Ha Touch said that he doesn't really like the Nuggets, and watching the game is just to take a look at Jessica of Girls' Generation, and now many people in China know that Luo Yun is filming a show with a Korean girl, although the filming has been suspended recently, but the two are still in contact, no, Winnie the Pooh's first playoff game she came.
At this time, Jessica also let go of her body and mind and began to talk to Lavigne next to her, you must know that Jessica had not yet debuted when the punk elves were popular all over the world, although the current Avril Lavigne is not as popular as before in Europe and the United States, but no one will forget this beautiful Canadian girl.
"Are you two really in love? I saw you were nervous when he fell! Lavini looked at Jessica beside her and smiled, she thought the girl had a good temper, not like Roberts at all.
"Nope! How could you think that! Jessica made a big red face, and at this time the game also entered a pause, and the live camera cut to the audience, but Vera who appeared on the big screen first, followed by Christine and Roberts, the Lakers seem to be intent on targeting Winnie the Pooh, and the next few girls have had scandals with stinky boys, such as Swift and Seyfried, Zuihou's camera stayed on Jessica's body, and just projected the girl's crimson face onto the big screen, That pretty appearance immediately caused a burst of cheers from the fans in the audience, and even Luo Yun was a little embarrassed, but the stinky boy still faced the fans with a smile on his face.
"This kid is simply the happiest man in the NBA, although I like Vera very much, but I have to admit that Korean girl is really beautiful!" Steve Kerr looked at the Nuggets' bench with envy, and the fans in Los Angeles were also laughing, although Winnie the Pooh is their opponent, but no one doesn't like him here, stinky boy, you should come to the Lakers instead of nesting in Mile High City, otherwise Los Angeles will lose a lot of fun.
"Although this couple is hypothetical, it seems to me that the two have already mixed together, remember what Christine said before on the show? That is, girls who have been in close contact with stinky boys can't help but fall into it, and this Jessica is certainly not immune! Ricardo looked at the star-studded audience and felt the urge to kidnap Loyun to the Lakers immediately, but Buss Jr. didn't have that idea at all. Or that the Lakers management is really short-sighted.
"Stinky boy. You're laughing. Give me a good game and don't think about those women! George Carr patted Luo Yun on the shoulder and smiled: "It's not interesting to conquer women, you're going to conquer Bryant!" ”
The old man was very satisfied with Luo Yun's recent performance, so the relationship between the master and apprentice began to gradually improve, plus the young man did a good job today, otherwise he wouldn't want to joke.
"Then how about you let me fight SG? I've been averaging a very low score per game lately! Luo Yun said helplessly, they tried to ease the tension of the playoffs in a joking way, but they were opposed by George Karl as soon as the little guy's voice fell. Winnie the Pooh got cheap and sold well, I really don't know whether to live or die.
Back to the game, the two sides still kept the bench players on the court, but the two teams each left Winnie the Pooh and Kobe Bryant on the court, so as to curb the opponent's offensive at the critical moment, Harrington was directly grabbed by Steve Blake after receiving a pass from Luo Yun and missed the shot, and then quickly handed it to Bryant, who had already started, and Corey Brewer also followed the great god closely, but just when people thought that Bryant would continue his passing career, he suddenly accelerated and scared Brewer to pounce directly, And Harrington, who had just run back to the position, also successfully filled the position at the first time.
Bryant didn't stop, but came to the side of the free throw line and jumped suddenly. Giving the ball to Jordan Hill, who was inserted into the basket from the left side, the former Rockets power forward was not polite. Throw the ball into the hoop directly against McGee's arm.
"Huh!"
The pleasant sound of entering the net made the Los Angeles fans on the scene roar with excitement, but this is not the most terrible, just after the Lakers scored this goal, Brewer hit a three-point iron on the Nuggets' side, and Troy Murphy, who came off the bench, quickly grabbed the rebound and then handed it over to the god again, Kobe Bryant did not panic in the face of Brewer and Winnie the Pooh's joint attack, but easily broke through the defense with a leisurely stroll, and then quickly entered the interior line and guided the ball out, And at this time, Jordan Hill, who was standing in the high post, took the ball and handed it to Blake, who was unguarded on the baseline, and the latter hit a three-point shot directly!
"Huh!"
The basketball hole pierced the white net, and the entire Staples Center suddenly became like a tsunami, although the Purple and Gold Army was not as terrifying as the Nuggets in the depth of the bench, but it was better to have a superstar in charge, a player like Bryant He just stood on the court and didn't take the ball You can't take it lightly, let alone the god of passing, seeing this scene, George Karl's brows couldn't help frowning, but fortunately, at this time, Winnie the Pooh stood up in time.
Luo Yun suddenly turned into a blue lightning bolt after taking the ball and burst into the Lakers' position, and the extremely ghostly footsteps made the little guy as agile as a butterfly flying on the court, Blake couldn't keep up with Luo Yun's footsteps at all, and at this time Kobe Bryant also caught up with Blake for the first time to switch defenses, as the league's one-on-one marking master Kobe Bryant has too many means to teach Winnie the Pooh, but in this way, Luo Yun still did not hesitate to take the ball into the basket.
"Al!"
The little guy roared, and the basketball flew in front of Kobe's eyes in an instant, and Harrington, who was standing on the outside at this time, also caught the basketball and shot directly, and the basketball suddenly shot out from outside the three-point line, instantly piercing the white net!
"Huh!"
Three-pointer shot, and the Nuggets pulled one back.
"Drop!" The referee's whistle made the fans depressed like the long whistle of the train, the Lakers asked for a timeout, Mike Brown saw the signs at the first time, and what he is most afraid of now is the Nuggets' offensive rhythm accelerating, especially when Winnie the Pooh is on the court, the most terrifying, even if he has a great god in his hands, but he is still a little worried.
The Lakers replaced Murphy with Gasol, and then let Barnes continue to play small forward, the Spaniard has performed extremely well in this game so far, and the Nuggets also let Farid return to the court, let him and Harrington play both high and low, as for Lowwinkar is not afraid to let him down now, he must continue to stay on the court to attract defense.
However, such a lineup did not bring much change to the Nuggets, the two teams are still fighting back and forth, the increase in defensive intensity makes the two sides basically spend time in the referee's blows, Gasol's height and arm span have grabbed a lot of rebounds, and just as the first half is about to end, the scene that made the entire Staples Center completely boil finally appeared.
When Farid received the ball and singled, he was caught by Gasol and Hill and made a mistake, and the basketball suddenly came out of his hand, although the orc was quick to save it in time, but the unreliable hook made the attack come to naught in an instant. Bryant grabbed the rebound straight away. At this time, the Lakers team also immediately launched a counterattack. Spain's long legs took the lead, Kobe Bryant quickly threw the ball forward after dribbling a few steps, Gasol received the ball and rushed to the empty basket, and directly scored two points with a quick dunk!
"Bang!"
As soon as the basket rang, the entire Staples burst into flames, and the Lakers fans stood up and applauded Gasol in the long whistle of the live DJ, and the Spaniards also let out the sulk in their hearts, and the Hollywood stars in the audience under the leadership of the old Nicholson also began to cheer for Gasol's excellent performance. Leonardo even deliberately changed his posture in order to enjoy the next game better, but at this time, Vera and others sitting in the audience looked quite ugly, because from the current rhythm, the Nuggets are obviously at a disadvantage, Luo Yun has a feeling of not being able to make a force on the offensive end, and the long time without shooting makes the little guy's hand feel cold, for this reason Vera, who is the only true fan in this group of women, also began to despise George Carr, this dead old man, deserves to suffer!
The rest of the game was in full swing with the Lakers, the Nuggets' boys coming to the playoffs with no way to find the north, and George Karl seemed to know that the team was going wrong at the moment. So Miller Sr. was immediately sent on the field for him and Harrington to play with a group of newcomers, while Luo Yun was pushed to the bench. Sure enough, with veteran players on the court, the Nuggets' situation began to stabilize, but Bryant, who had been in a passing state at this time, suddenly turned on the scoring mode, and two consecutive mid-range shots instantly opened the score that was hard to catch up again.
Afflalo, the rattlesnake, couldn't prevent the black mamba at all today, the big god's jump shot was simply a Denver man's talisman, until the end of the first half, the score gap between the two sides came out at once, 45:55, the Lakers successfully let the Nuggets fall into the pit with a 10-point lead, Luo Yun sat on the sidelines and his face became more and more difficult to see, in fact, George Karl's tactics were not wrong in the second quarter, but the key is that the Nuggets had too many problems in offensive timing and defense, especially after Gasol's outburst caused continuous mistakes, caused the Lakers, a team that couldn't run, to play a fast-break battle, otherwise the game would not be like this at all.
The second quarter of the game became a turning point for the Nuggets, after the adjustment of halftime, the third quarter of the game between the two sides re-switched to the starters, but the Denver people, who only dominated the No. 1 and No. 3 positions, did not seize the opportunity, the Lakers' defense let them know that the playoffs are not a simple play, even if Winnie the Pooh began to lead the team to a fast attack, but it was still contained by the Los Angeles people, the great god began to defend Luo Yun alone, and Gallinari was bullied enough by the inside twin towers composed of Anzhu and Gasol under the hard basket, Farid had no way to take Gasol today, Gasol had passes, rebounds and mid-range shots, which was simply an all-round performance, coupled with Sessions' cold impact on the basket, which caused the Denver people to not find the rhythm of the game at all today.
In fact, the Nuggets are currently mainly not adapting to the defensive intensity of the playoffs, although they played one or two fast breaks, but the effect is not obvious, and after Gasol's outbreak, An Zhu also began to exert his power, that pair of big hands kept lifting and falling, lifting and falling, and he fanned out 6 blocks in the middle of the third quarter, abusing all the Nuggets' interior line, although this guy is very annoying, but you have to admit that the Lakers have him on the inside and the entire defensive end is different.
"Huh!"
Winnie the Pooh finally hit a shot outside the three-point line, and the fans who liked him couldn't help but let out a cheer, but the turmoil quickly disappeared, this three-point shot came too late, and it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the Nuggets, who were already behind by a large score at this time, but at this time, the other players of the Nuggets except Luo Yun had been stunned and couldn't count on it at all.
After the Lakers successfully counterattacked, Luo Yun took the ball again and hit the basket, this time Winnie the Pooh did not pass the ball again, and the Lakers seem to understand the opponent's thoughts now, and it is always a time for stars to shine on the stage of the playoffs, so when Luo Yun is about to break through, the Lakers almost have three players to come and attack, but in this case, the little guy still made Bynum carry the third foul of the game with a three-point shot.
After standing at the free throw line, Loyun hit the free throw under the boos of the Staples Center, and at this time, George Karl also stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly, and the whole team knew that if they didn't work hard, they would never get up again. So in the second half of the third quarter, the Denver people's fast-paced attack also reappeared in Los Angeles!
“GOGOGO!”
With Luo Yun's roar. The whole team immediately pressed forward. At this time, Kobe Bryant, who was staring at Luo Yun, was also pressing step by step, the little guy did not have the slightest timidity in the face of the god, and a very fast disguised quickly passed the other party, but Bryant's speed of defense was so fast that Luo Yun had no way to predict it, the little guy stepped into the free throw line and quickly turned around Bynum and then jumped, pulled the rod, and divided the ball, the basketball was sent to the outside at a very fast speed, and Afraro rose directly after receiving the ball, and the three-point shot was blasted!
"Bang!"
The basketball slammed into the hoop. Bynum and Gasol jumped almost at the same time, and the Lakers' interior twin towers completely controlled the basket today, but at this time, Farid also squeezed into the interior with all his strength, and the basketball was quickly dotted back and forth in the hands of several interior men, but Zuihou was still grabbed by Bynum.
An Zhu immediately looked for the great god after taking the ball, and Kobe Bryant quickly went around to catch the ball, but at this moment, at the moment when An Zhu passed the ball, a blue figure suddenly appeared on the passing route and broke the ball!
"Winnie the Pooh!"
Ricardo almost jumped out of the commentary seat. Seeing that the figure that was extremely agile also waved his fist fiercely, Luo Yun immediately turned around and returned to the front court after taking the ball. After re-entering the three-point line, I saw the great god make up for it, but just when people thought that the Nuggets' offense was going to be in vain, the little guy jumped suddenly, and Kobe Bryant saw this and came from the side at a very fast speed to prepare for the block, but just when the basketball was about to shoot out of Luo Yun's hands, Farid suddenly appeared in front of Kobe, and then saw the basketball draw a perfect arc and directly overturned the white net!
"Huh!"
Winnie the Pooh hit a long-range shot to close the gap again.
The Lakers obviously didn't expect Winnie the Pooh to break out at this time, but at this time the Lakers were still ahead, so they didn't have to worry too much, but it was this kind of psychology that made them make the same old mistake again, slackness, which has always been a pain in the hearts of Lakers fans, and this time it is even more painful.
After Barnes's shooting iron, Gallinari grabbed the rebound, and then quickly handed it to Luo Yun, the little guy quickly dribbled to the front court, like a sharp blade out of the sheath, straight into the Lakers' interior line, Sessions couldn't stop Luo Yun at all, and his body was directly squeezed to the side, Kobe Bryant wanted to come over to help defend but at this time Luo Yun had already dodged into the basket, Gasol and Bynum were stuck in the position at the first time, but Luo Yun deceived An Zhu with an extremely realistic feint, and then made a successful backhand layup!
"Huh!"
Further, the entire Staples audience was shocked by the furious Luo Yun, looking at the little guy who was panting in front of Sessions, everyone was scolding the Lakers' management for being brain-dead, and those fans who already liked Winnie the Pooh were also in a particularly complicated mood, they hoped that the Lakers would win, but they were also excited about Luo Yun's strength, this little guy who grew up under their noses since childhood had reached this point, just ask who else in this rookie class can be better than him, breakthrough, shooting, Passing can do anything, and the Nuggets have really picked up a treasure.
Sessions didn't dare to break through rashly now, so he began to lower the offensive tempo to find Kobe, well, find Kobe, this is the best solution for the Lakers to encounter an embarrassing moment.
But as soon as the great god got the ball, he was immediately caught by Luo Yun and Afflalo, the great god did not panic, but continued to run to let Gasol step forward to make a wall, but just when he used the block to avoid the defense, he found that Luo Yun appeared in front of him again, the big god's pupils shrank slightly, and he leaned directly towards the little guy and hit near the free throw line, although Luo Yun has done his best, but who is Bryant, one of the league's most haode scorers, a superstar in the NBA, What can he resist as a rookie.
I saw Winnie the Pooh in the high position, and immediately turned around and leaned back directly after a feint, and the basketball also came out of Luo Yun's helpless eyes!
However, just when Luo Yun was helpless, the basketball smashed heavily on the basket and bounced off directly!
"Rebounding!"
The accident came too suddenly, and the little guy was almost stunned by happiness, but just when he was ecstatic, a 7-foot man suddenly blocked his sight!
"Bang dang!"
The basketball was directly picked up by Bynum and stuffed back into the basket, and at this time, the silent Staples also broke out into earth-shattering cheers again, countless Los Angeles fans roared excitedly, waving their hands, and the deafening noise almost drowned out the Nuggets in an instant!
That's the home court advantage, and the Los Angeles fans will always be the Lakers' most loyal defenders, and at 59:65, Denver is still trailing by as many as six points.
"Drop!"
The referee's whistle stopped the swarming fans, and the Nuggets finally called a timeout, and at this time, George Karl also started a nervous arrangement with a tactical board in his hand, and the Nuggets boys were sweating around the coach, as a veritable offensive master in the league, the league's sixth thousand-win coach, George Karl naturally understood what to do at the moment, sweat dripping from Luo Yun's cheeks and slapping on the floor, splashing all over the ground!
The bright Staples Center is particularly hot, and the big screen above the stadium is constantly playing the wonderful footage just now, and the fierce collision makes the fans excited, it seems that this game is still played. (To be continued......)
