168 Anti-Bone Boy: Xiao Liu Xing is just like that, you Lakers are inferior.
The 9-0
Jazz started the game with a big start and gave the Lakers a small climax, and at this critical moment of making history, the Zen master did not dare to be careless and could not give everything to the players.
Less than 2 minutes into the opening game, he directly requested a timeout, which is extremely rare for the Lakers this season.
This wave of pause, the Zen master also emphasized, "Guys, this is the moment when we make history, and we must not make any mistakes in this battle." "
Actually, it's okay if the Zen master doesn't say it, and when he says this, the pressure on the players comes up.
That invisible pressure enveloped the entire Lakers team.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
As soon as he came up, Kobe Bryant began to attack frantically, but the effect was not very good.
There is no emergency stop in the middle distance.
The rebound was picked up by Liu Xing under the basket, he stole a chicken, and the basket easily made up for the dunk.
At the beginning of this scene, Liu Xing's desire to attack was not very strong.
Jazz ball possession.
Delon was still full of firepower, leading the Jazz's attack, borrowing a cover from Boozer, blocking Ariza, and firing directly in response.
And also.
The 11-2
Jazz got off to a smooth start.
The first quarter ended, 31-21.
The Lakers didn't play well in the first quarter, not because they didn't have opportunities, on the contrary, the Lakers still had a lot of opportunities, but tonight it seemed that the Jazz's basket had put a lid on them.
No matter how you throw, you can't hit it.
That includes Kobe Bryant.
In fact, Kobe Bryant still didn't adopt a wrap-and-clip strategy for him in the first quarter, most of the time, he was still one-on-one, what he was best at.
The Jazz just put Brewer in front of Kobe, but Kobe didn't play well in the first quarter, and logically speaking, Kobe Bryant should play well.
This time, according to Jazz Sloan's strategy, he didn't believe that Kobe Bryant alone could kill them.
This will, Kobe Bryant should have an output.
But in the first quarter, Kobe Bryant's state had a big problem.
1 of 9, only 4 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 turnovers, because, poor performance, Kobe Bryant also paid 2 fouls.
Even Kobe Bryant himself is extremely annoyed, it's not that there is no chance, it's just that the opportunity appears, but it just misses, this kind of night, not only for Kobe, but for all athletes, it is very devastating.
When Bryant took a timeout in the first quarter, he also said to himself, "Mine, mine, I don't have those goals that should be in the middle, and the second quarter will not be."
And in the second quarter, Kobe Bryant also ushered in an outburst.
Rotation phase.
The Lakers' bench, seriously, don't mention it.
It's really not like words.
forced the Zen master to have no choice, and exchanged Kobe Bryant in advance in the second quarter.
As he said, the second quarter found the feel.
Singled out Bruce, and then turned around for a jumper.
The ball goes in.
Take 2 points.
48-34
Delon watched the Lakers score, held the ball in the backcourt, stepped on the accelerator, and went straight all the way to the end.
Speed to the extreme.
Retreat from the conversion, go all the way down, dunk it violently, and respond.
Kobe Bryant heads-up.
This is also the essence of the Zen Master's triangular attack.
Create a dozen-one, comfortable space for the supergiant.
Bryant got a one-on-one chance in the low post.
One turns back and throws the ball in.
Bryant opened up, and after entering the second quarter, the feeling returned.
After that, he scored eight points in a row.
But these 8 points could not narrow the score.
In the entire second quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 14 points, but in the second quarter of the game, the Lakers vs Jazz, it was 48-64, and the Lakers fell behind by 16 points.
The two sides entered the third quarter with a 16-point margin.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant is open, but the rest of the Lakers don't have any shots.
You say, Liu Xing.
After Liu Xing linked up with Kobe Bryant once in the first quarter, the Jazz coach saw that once Kobe and Liu Xing linked, it would be hugely lethal.
Sloan shuddered.
He decisively gave the order to release Kobe Bryant and wrap Liu Xing.
And Liu Xing, who encountered the bag, also played a little inaction in this battle, and was more about creating opportunities for his teammates.
At the end of the half, Liu Xing's data was not bad, 4 points, although the score was not much, but his plus/minus in the half was the highest +12 in the game.
Although Liu Xing's score is not high, he has 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, and 3 steals, and his defensive performance is extremely good.
The third quarter is a continuation of the second quarter.
The Lakers chased the points and chased them fiercely.
The Lakers have always had the saying that the Lakers are crazy, which means that the Lakers are very good at playing the third quarter, and so far this season, not counting this one, the Lakers have played 33 games, of which 12 games have been played in the third quarter, which accounts for one-third.
In addition, the Lakers scored 39 points in the entire third quarter, and the taillights of the second-place Lakers were not visible.
Also, the Lakers' defensive efficiency in the third quarter is 24.6, which means that in the past 33 games, the Lakers can limit opponents to less than 24.6 points in the third quarter.
No team in the league came out on top.
But even so.
The Jazz still withstood the Lakers' frantic third quarter.
The third quarter ended.
The Lakers still trailed by 12 points, a better point than in the second quarter, and recovered four points.
The Lakers' results have improved, but compared to the fans' expectations of them, the Lakers' performance is still not satisfactory to everyone.
80-92
Lakers trailed by 12 points.
During the inter-segment commentary, ESPN's Mark Jackson also specifically mentioned, "Stephen, look. What did I say? I said the Lakers were going to lose this game, and look. Now, the Lakers have no chance of winning.
Stephen A. Smith was speechless because he knew Mark Jackson was telling the truth.
The third quarter, known as the third quarter of the Lakers' three madnesses, is also the third quarter of the Lakers' most capable.
The Lakers had seven chances to narrow the score to within seven points, but the Lakers didn't take advantage of these opportunities.
In the entire third quarter, Kobe Bryant has scored 18 points, but this still can't stop the Lakers' decline.
In addition, no one other than Kobe Bryant can stand up.
The most important thing is that on the Jazz side, the core guard Delon is really tough.
Tonight, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points in the third quarter, and Delon also scored 28 points.
Scoring is not what Delon is good at, this season, Delon averaged only 22.6 points per game, but in this game, he only played 3 quarters and scored 28 points.
In this way, Delong is equivalent to directly exchanging Kobe.
That's not a good thing for the Lakers.
DeLong's role at the Jazz is that of a playmaker, not a scorer in the strict sense of the word.
Now, Deron has exchanged Kobe Bryant, while the rest of the Lakers can't stand up, which is a disaster for the Lakers who want to create a miracle.
Not only that, but Jazz others other than DeLong have stepped up, for example, Boozer, for example, AK47.
I don't know if it's because I'm playing on my own turf, but tonight, Boozer is extra tough... It's hard.
