One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-Three. Number 24 and the Tragic Number 24
"Oh, those two guys are here again, Kenny, look, are these two guys human?
A guy who is almost 35 years old, 33 points in the first half; a 23-year-old kid, 15 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in the first half, these two people don't seem to be affected by their physical strength at all..."
As Charles Barkley complained, many stars watching this focus battle in front of the TV didn't know how to express their emotions.
Especially a certain Mesozoic player in the South Coast who envied Duncan's hair volume and was unwilling to quit the ranks of top players. He was a physical maniac; a younger generation who had only entered the NBA for the fourth year and was already a Hall of Fame level, was also a physical maniac when needed...
A certain high school student wanted (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
...
After the halftime break, Paul and Kobe were ready to play the whole second half of the Lakers.
Paul had such a group of teammates, and he played very happily and easily, with 11 assists in the first half! He felt that he would have 20+ assists in a single game tonight.
Kobe scored 33 points in the first half, ready to move towards the seventh single-game 60+ in his career.
In the frontcourt, Josh Smith, who only played 4 minutes in the second quarter, was also ready to play the whole game. He was allowed to rest for so long in the second quarter, and old Bickerstaff was for the offense in the second half.
Metta World Peace and Jamison came on the court, and the team continued to play without a center. Jordan Hill's physical strength was indeed a little lacking. Some curious fans have calculated that Jordan Hill's time to ensure efficiency is actually about the same as that of the Warriors' Thabeet. He only performs well for more than 20 minutes in a game, and it's not good after that.
Due to the lack of centers, the Lakers have only moved towards high-speed rotation defense + offense this season.
For the Grizzlies, Nash played for nearly 18 minutes in the first half, and this game was almost over.
Nash is capable of playing 25 or 26 minutes in a game. If he distributes his physical strength well and plays slowly, he can play for 30 minutes.
But after rushing for 18 minutes with all his strength, he really couldn't play anymore. That is, the Grizzlies usually protect Nash well and Nash himself maintains a good state, so that they can efficiently get 1 in 18 minutes. 0 points, 5 assists.
After taking a shot of physical potion, Sun Ce took the lineup of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders to the court.
At the beginning of the third quarter,
the Grizzlies attacked first.
Sun Ce wanted to try his three-point accuracy. If it worked, he and Klay Thompson would connect and play first to create a threat, so that he could better cooperate with Yi Jianlian in pick-and-roll.
However, Sun Ce underestimated the Lakers' fear of him and the threat he brought to the Lakers players, half of his 4 60+ points were obtained against the Lakers. After the pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian, Josh Smith and Jamison directly attacked him.
Yi Jianlian's sense of penetration is sharp. When Josh Smith went around the three-point line to block Sun Ce's turret-style three-pointer, Yi Jianlian immediately cut in.
Sun Ce grabbed the ball as soon as possible and switched to when his right hand was blocked by Jamison Pushing to the middle with his left hand, when Yi Jianlian cut in, Metta World Peace blocked him with excellent awareness. But now Metta World Peace plays very well in light offense, and uses confrontation to defend small forwards, but he is no longer able to resist the confrontation of power forwards and even some centers with 120 kg in the past!
Yi Jianlian took a step and jumped after receiving the ball, and slammed the ball into the basket through Metta World Peace!
The handsome red hair kept shaking with the confrontation during the dunk, causing crazy cheers at the scene.
Compared with last season, Yi Jianlian has made some progress in dunking this year. In fact, it is only a very small improvement, which has nothing to do with the awareness of cutting in and the grasp of the second offensive opportunity. It is just a very simple improvement, that is, after receiving the ball and grabbing the offensive rebound, he will no longer pat the ball and then jump up. He has gradually become accustomed to taking three steps directly after receiving the ball or taking two steps to jump and shoot after grabbing the offensive rebound.
The small progress has made Yi Jianlian better at grasping the details. If he had just patted the ball, he might have been intercepted by Metta World Peace. Metta World Peace has averaged 1.8 steals per game this season, and his average playing time is only 27 minutes per game. His steal efficiency is so high that it explodes.
After the goal, the Grizzlies quickly retreated. Metta World Peace was dunked and immediately picked up the ball and passed it to Paul. This year, he has become a bit like Duncan. He is still so active in defense, but he can't hold up. He always becomes the background even if he doesn't lose his position.
Kobe has already played well. In the counterattack, he ran back and got a chance to receive the ball. Paul immediately passed it to him. Kobe received the ball and faced Paul George to make up for the defense and made another three-pointer!
Kobe has made 4 three-pointers today. Unfortunately, the background of these four three-pointers is the same person...
73 to 72, the Lakers are leading by 1 point again. Kobe did not forget to blow the gun when he quickly retreated back. He never forgets to show off.
Kobe continued his excellent performance in the first half in the third quarter. The Grizzlies were well prepared for this game, and so were the Lakers. They all took this game very seriously.
The Lakers didn't want to lose to the Grizzlies throughout the regular season, so the pressure in the playoffs would be huge.
However, Kobe just showed off and made a three-pointer over the opponent's No. 24. Looking back, the opponent's No. 24 received a long pass from Sun Ce and made a three-pointer from the sideline!
Paul George was not afraid of Kobe's three-pointer, faced the challenge, seized the opportunity, and helped the Grizzlies overtake the Lakers by two points 75 to 73!
When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Kobe's shot just now was unexpected, because Kobe was running back and forth outside the three-point line, which was not a running opportunity. The Grizzlies didn't want Kobe to catch the ball and shoot. Therefore, taking advantage of Kobe's threat, Josh Smith created a three-point opportunity for Metta World Peace in the bottom corner. This time Metta World Peace seized the opportunity and hit the three-pointer. The Lakers took the lead again with 76 to 75.
It's going to be tense again!
The fans at the scene were happy and worried. The mood was like a roller coaster. They played well and the opponent played well. The key is that the two teams are evenly matched in terms of lineup! The Grizzlies' role players are stronger, and the Lakers' dream backcourt is matched with Josh Smith, and the core lineup is even more unsolvable.
The fans in front of the TV were very excited, and there was also a player No. 6 who did not want to reveal his name and kept tweeting, like a fake account.
Just when people thought that the game was going to enter a tense stage, Klay Thompson stood up...
Although Sun Ce was blocked and could not trigger the "Splash Power", this skill, if it is really said, has a bonus, it is only for Sun Ce.
Klay Thompson will only be more confident and find the shooting feeling more easily if he shoots a three-pointer in the next round of offense after Sun Ce makes a three-pointer.
But the strength, or Klay Thompson's own three-point ability, has not been improved. Even without this skill, Klay Thompson can find a good shooting feeling, such as now!
