Chapter 201: Losing the Game
Su Bei's injury surprised everyone, even the Nuggets didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, and those players prayed for Su Bei.
After praying, Jokic and his eyes calmed down.
Because they know it's the playoffs.
There will be no end to the game because of Su Bei's injury.
The game will continue to be played.
The head coach of the Nuggets looked directly at them and said in a deep voice:
"Now that the Lakers' outside line has gone to northern Jiangsu, there shouldn't be such a big threat, Murray, you and Harris are better to fight."
"Although it's a little easier to play, you have to be cautious for me, and I can't take it lightly anymore."
They are now a full twelve points away from the Lakers.
88:76.
It also gave them hope that they could recover the score in the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets' players didn't have much fighting spirit just now, because the cooperation of James and Su Bei played the Nuggets' interior line, and there was no chance to counterattack at all.
But now it's okay, Subei is also gone.
James alone has to lead the entire Lakers team, and it is conceivable that the Nuggets will be particularly easy to play on the inside.
Jokic looked at their head coach with a hint of determination in his eyes:
"Don't worry, Coach."
"We're going to get the score back, and it's not just this game to win, it's going to win the next games."
The other players also glanced at the head coach of the Nuggets, and a confident smile appeared on their faces, and at this moment such expressions were like the tiger was gone, and the monkey was the king.
The Lakers have one less main player, which is a lot less burdensome for them.
For winning against the Lakers, the Nuggets players are full of confidence.
At this moment, their faces became a little different, slightly arrogant.
The head coach of the Nuggets glanced at Coach Wharton, who had a sad face, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, and this time their opportunity to overtake finally came.
On the other side, the Lakers are there.
The atmosphere was a bit solemn......
James sat aside, not talking.
It seems that he is recovering his strength, but he is leading the team alone, and the pressure is all on his body again......
The other players didn't smile much and felt a bit of pressure.
Except for James, no one in them is a player with a big heart.
Coach Wharton glanced around at everyone, his expression was extremely serious, and now he couldn't pick out a player who could be better than Subei.
"Now that Subei is injured, you are the only ones left, we have to focus on the game and play the game well."
"Ball and Rondo, you two are on the court, and the outside line is up to you."
"Inside, James and McGee, Ingram, you three, you must guard that Jokic for me, we can play a little slower and pursue offensive efficiency."
Coach Wharton's eyes fell on James, and now the hope of the Lakers can only be pinned on him, and other players are also unreliable.
Subei is also gone......
At this time, Coach Wharton feels really important......
The heart is also empty......
James nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of sharpness.
Now I have to go all out, hoping to maintain this point difference.
"Coach, no matter what the result is, I will definitely play with all my might."
James promised Coach Wharton that he would not be depressed because of Subei's injury, and the other players showed endless fighting spirit in their eyes after hearing James's words.
They are a whole,
It's a team.
"Northern Jiangsu is gone, but we haven't left yet, we haven't given up yet, we must bring victory to northern Jiangsu ......"
Ball glanced at the Nuggets and said in a firm tone.
The other players nodded their heads, "Win the game, win the game......"
......
The fourth quarter begins.
The Lakers attacked, and Rondo came to the front court and passed the ball to Ball.
In the face of Harris's defense, Ball first broke through one, but did not break through, and at this time, Ingram reached for the ball on the inside.
Ball passed it out.
Ingram hits the opposite power forward with his back and makes a step-back jumper.
With a clang, the basketball bounced out.
"Horse-stepping..."
Ingram scolded in a low voice, a flash of unwillingness on her face.
He thought he would be able to make steady progress, but who would have thought that this would be the result.
The rebound was grabbed by the Nuggets players and passed to their guard Murray.
At this moment, Jokic suddenly ran over.
When the defense was returned, the Lakers had not yet reacted, and Murray rushed in with the ball.
McGee was shaken up by Murray, and James came to make up for it.
Murray made a back pass to Jokic, who rushed inside.
Jokic faced the basket and threw it straight over.
Smack.
The Nuggets scored two points again.
88:78.
The scores of the two teams were exactly ten points apart, and the Nuggets players watched the score shrink little by little.
The Nuggets' head coach shouted at them.
"Good ball, nice job!"
"That's how Murray passes, and he gets the ball to Jokic as much as he can."
Jokic is the core player of the entire Nuggets.
What's more, now that there is no inside line of the Subei Lakers, no one can actually restrain Jokic.
On the other side, Coach Wharton's face became a little difficult to look at, and the Lakers' defense just now was like a fictitious defense.
was directly beaten into the inner line, and he was embarrassed and went home.
"Give me a good defense, defend their interior players."
Coach Wharton reminded James that his palms were also slightly sweaty.
Once again, the Lakers attacked.
This time James motioned for them to play slower, and Rondo nodded.
He first asked McGee to come over and block him at the free-throw line.
Rondo made a disguised mislead and directly broke through Murray, and when Murray reacted, he wanted to chase after him, and collided with McGee's body at the free throw line.
At this time, Jokic went to make up for the defense, and Rondo's eyes lit up slightly.
A direct hit pass to James.
James, who received the ball, took three steps directly, slammed the one-handed tomahawk slam dunk, and dunked it violently.
Smack.
James' side scored two points again.
90:78.
James yelled at them, celebrating the way he scored.
He could have easily made a layup, but he thought about the morale on his side, and now he can't.
Morale must be raised.
This dunk is tantamount to being able to give the Lakers more confidence.
"This is James!"
"Our James!"
"This ball is fantastic!"
"The Nuggets still want to win us, that's just not possible!"
The fans in the stadium were boiling again.
The Nuggets head coach off the court looked at the scene in front of him, and he suddenly felt as if he was still underestimating James.
The first person in the league is the first person in the league, even if he carries the Lakers alone, the threat is extremely great.
The Nuggets' eyes were full of fighting spirit, and in their opinion, James' violent dunk was provoking them.
"Brothers, let's not get emotional, now we're going to win this game and overtake the Lakers."
"You have to beat them on their home turf and conquer them thoroughly!"
Jokic said coldly, his eyes kept on James, he wanted to see how terrifying James was.
Experience the ......
The other Nuggets players also became serious in their eyes, and this game is destined to have losers.
They also don't want to be losers themselves.
At this time, in the arena, there was a burst of sarcasm against the Nuggets players.
In the eyes of these Lakers fans, the Nuggets are unlikely to overtake the Lakers.
There is no hope at all......
On the other side, Su Bei was receiving treatment from doctors, and Lin Xue used the video opened by her mobile phone to report the situation on the game to Su Bei.
On the field...
A few minutes after the fourth quarter, the Nuggets players were even hotter.
Harris faced Ball and threw three points in a row, as if a god had descended from heaven, coupled with the continuous strong play on the inside, he tied the Lakers, which made the entire Nuggets team more aggressive.
And the score at this moment has also come,
101:101.
In fact, it is mainly because the Lakers' outside players have made a lot of mistakes.
And the Lakers' perimeter players don't pose any threat to the Nuggets' players.
In their opinion, as long as James defends the Lakers well, the rest of the people are not too much of a threat.
This is also the strategy of the Nuggets.
Eventually, the Lakers called another timeout.
Coach Wharton had no choice but to bring Carussol on the pitch and replace Rondo.
Rondo doesn't pose any shooting threat from the outside, which is what has led the Nuggets to defend the Lakers.
After Caruso came on the field, he continued to make breakthroughs, which brought a little improvement.
can't stop the hot Harris, coupled with the cooperation between him and Jokic, so that the current score has come.
106:110.
The Nuggets overtook the others.
There were only two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Live room...
Yang Yi looked at the score on the field and looked a little lonely.
He never thought that the Nuggets would overtake the score, and he was shocked at the moment.
"The Nuggets players are biting the score tightly until now, and it's really unusual."
"However, the Lakers' outside players did make a lot of mistakes, and when Su Bei was there at the beginning, he organized the offense, and the Lakers' offense was a little better at that time, and there were not too many mistakes."
"But as soon as Su Bei left, James was extremely difficult to lead the entire Lakers team alone, coupled with the lack of teammates, it was normal for the Nuggets to overtake the score."
Yang Yi slowly explained, talking about the Lakers' current problems.
Their Lakers outside players are indeed not as good as the Nuggets, plus that hot Harris.
Wang Meng also nodded beside him, feeling that it was a pity that it was the Lakers this time.
Within two minutes, the Lakers didn't catch up.
Wait until the end of the game.
The score was fixed at 110:114.
James looked at the score on the court, his eyes slightly moist.
I was speechless for a while.
Silently, he lowered his head and walked into the passage......
The fans in those arenas didn't have any voice, some just complained about the mistakes of the Lakers players...
In their opinion, the game should not have been lost.
Su Bei also heard that the Lakers were overtaken by the Nuggets, and there was a faint sense of disappointment in his heart, and he secretly decided that no matter what the price was, he had to come back.
