Chapter 127, We Want Zhou Hang!
At this time, it is the Nuggets' possession of the ball.
JR Smith dribbles upfield.
Kobe is defending JR. Nene puts up a pick-and-roll to block Kobe, and JR dribbles to the right side.
Although Kobe's defense was strong, he was also shaken off by JR.
Taking advantage of Gasol's failure to make up for the defense, JR collected the ball and made an emergency stop in the middle of the free throw line and the three-point line.
Quick pull-up jump shot!
JR felt good today, and the ball was hit steadily.
49 is better than 47
The Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang was not in a hurry, received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
JR has been interfering with Zhou Hang, but without success.
Zhou Hang gave the ball to Kobe, and then he started running.
The starters of the Lakers have a tacit understanding, making off-ball screens for Zhou Hang.
Gasol, Odom, and Zhou Hang successfully ran out of space at a 30-degree angle on the left.
Kobe quickly distributed the ball, Zhou Hang caught the ball and shot.
It's a small space, but enough for Zhou Hang.
The shaking of the wrist, the standard of the arc, all these make the Lakers teammates feel at ease when they look at it.
"Shh!"
49:50.
As long as he can score a goal, there are many teammates who are willing to pass the ball to Zhou Hang.
Kobe and Zhou Hang clapped hands to celebrate.
Fans at the Staples Arena cheered, and the Lakers finally overtook it! !
Zhang Weiping said: "Zhou Hang's off-ball movement is full of artistic sense. He will use various conditions to create opportunities for himself. This is a talent."
Xu Jicheng said: "Indeed, this is Zhou Hang's innate offensive sense."
On the court, the Nuggets' offense.
It is still JR's offense. Although JR's offensive touch is very good, he is not as popular as Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang also quickly switched defenses to JR, allowing Kobe to defend Anthony.
Facing Zhou Hang, JR wanted to change direction and break through, but failed.
His drive was blocked back by the rung.
JR had to give the ball to Kleiza on the other side, and Kleiza cut in with the help of Nene's screen.
Kleiza scored against Gasol's throw!
51:50.
There is really nothing to say about the Nuggets' offense, and the Lakers have no good defensive methods.
After Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, with the help of Gasol's cover, he began to look for opportunities one meter beyond the three-point line.
JR is still a little uncomfortable with Zhou Hang's offensive method, Zhou Hang always likes to look for some super long three-pointers.
Gasol was like a wall at this time. He stood still and watched Zhou Hang lead the defenders around him.
Finally, Zhou Hang found an opportunity, staggered the rhythm of JR and Nene, and the crowd was domineering, and he shot a super long three-pointer quickly.
The fans at the Staples Arena cheered, and Zhou Hang's ultra-long three-pointer also made waves in the playoffs.
Zhou Hang's rhythm and touch today are very good.
Basketball draws a rainbow!
"Shh!"
middle!middle!middle!
51 is better than 53
Overtake the score again!
The Staples fans continued to cheer, Zhou Hang's offense was very stable, and it rained three-pointers.
At first, Zen Master felt that Zhou Hang's shot was unreasonable, so he frowned, but he quickly relaxed after seeing the ball scored.
This ball also proves that Zhou Hang's psychological quality is very strong. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, he still has very strong confidence in his touch.
The Lakers players were also cheering and celebrating. Kobe and Gasol were very happy to see Zhou Hang's goal.
In the first two seasons, they didn't have teammates of this level around them.
With such a super shooter as a teammate, it feels much easier to play in the playoffs than before.
As long as Zhou Hang's hand feels warmed up, the three-pointer will come as soon as he says it.
The three-pointer is too fast.
After this three-pointer, the Lakers began to build an advantage.
The Nuggets did not stop scoring completely, but their offensive firepower was not as strong as the Lakers.
上半场进行到还有2分33秒的时候，两队的比分来到了56比66，湖人的领先优势来到了10分。
Kobe went down with Gasol, and Zhou Hang and Odom partnered on the court.
It's just that this time Zhou Hang's hand feeling dropped very badly, and he missed consecutive shots.
On the Nuggets side, Anthony started to open up, and Anthony's continuous scoring helped the Nuggets chase points.
After halftime, the score was 64 to 69, and the Lakers' lead was only 5 points.
Zhang Weiping sighed: "The two teams didn't play like a playoff game, they both scored very high points."
Xu Jicheng said: "Yeah, the two teams feel like they are opening and closing, letting go of the offense."
上半场结束，周航的数据是26分3助攻3篮板2抢断，科比17分2助攻，加索尔12分5篮板3助攻。
For the Nuggets, Iverson had 22 points and 5 assists, JR Smith had 13 points, Anthony had 7 points and 4 rebounds, and Nene had 8 points.
The main offensive points of the two teams have also been played out, which also led to the emergence of high scores.
After returning to the locker room.
The head coaches of the two teams took the situation summarized by the assistant coaches and began to readjust their defensive tactics.
The playoffs have always emphasized defense and confrontation, and such high-scoring confrontations rarely occur.
Zen Master did not criticize the Lakers' defensive problems. He felt that it was a good thing to lead.
Although his performance was not good at the end of the first half, Zen Master still praised Zhou Hang. Zhou Hang's stable outside output allowed the Lakers to continue their offense, and he was also the main contributor to the Lakers' lead.
The overall atmosphere of the Lakers is very good. Kobe and Gasol are also praising Zhou Hang. As a rookie in the playoffs, Zhou Hang's 26 points in the first half are already better than many superstars.
In the Nuggets locker room, George Karl complained bluntly about the team's defensive inattention.
George Karl yelled: "Anyone who doesn't want to play, just say, I will let the person who wants to play play."
"Guys, get on your feet. It's the playoffs. This is L.A. We're in trouble."
"The opponent is not a weak team. They are the Lakers. If we don't regain the advantage, we will be in big trouble."
After George Karl finished yelling, he looked at Iverson.
Anthony feels too bad tonight, only Iverson can rely on it.
Iverson also quickly stood up to support the coach: "We can score goals, but we must prevent their offense, otherwise it is impossible to win the game."
Iverson, who has experienced many playoffs, is well aware of the troubles the team is facing now.
Except for Zhou Hang, the state of the Lakers today can only be said to be average, but it is this average state that weighs down the Nuggets up and down.
The second half started.
During the contest between the two teams' starting lineups, Zhou Hang sat on the sidelines.
The starting state of the Lakers is really average. After Kobe was flanked, he passed the ball to Gasol.
This is a long rebound, and Iverson got it directly as a counterattack. Laoyu was too slow, he was turned around by Iverson, and Laoyu could only watch Iverson make an easy layup.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe used Gasol's cover to break through and continue to be flanked. The Nuggets adopted a firm strategy of flanking Kobe.
Kobe gave the ball to Fisher on the outside. This ball is a good opportunity. Fisher made an open three-pointer.
"frame!"
Hard work!
The rebound was picked up by Anthony!
Anthony took the ball to the frontcourt, and Anthony saw Nene's slip to the baseline.
Anthony made a pass, and Nene caught the ball and made a counter-basket.
After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers continued their downturn at the end of the first half. With 7 minutes and 22 seconds left in the third quarter, the scores of the two teams were tied again.
Zen master called to stop the game!
"Zhou Hang!"
"Zhou Hang!"
"We want Zhou Hang!"
Fans at the Staples Center started calling Zhou Hang's name.
Zhou Hang is more useful than Kobe tonight.
The Zen master also waved to Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang took off his pants and stood up!
