Chapter 620 [No one can prevent them now]

When the Nuggets attacked, Billups took a look at Anthony in the frontcourt. He feinted and didn't pass, and suddenly faced Lu Wei with a three-pointer on the left, and hit another one. 5 to 6.

The Lakers attacked, and Lou Wei brought it to the frontcourt or passed it to Brooks, and Kleiza sweated on his forehead.

The Lakers let this guy start just to play me on purpose, right?Can you please stop trying hard at me alone, and the promised attack will bloom more?

Most of the time, Yang Rui will arrange the combination of internal and external, but when the singles has a clear advantage, he doesn't mind that someone can play endlessly.

Xiaobu has strength, and now is at his peak, so Kleizha is farther away, he catches the ball and shoots again, it is still a three-pointer, this time the ball misses the basket.

As soon as the ball was released, Yao Ming and Millsap rushed to the inside together. Billups in the middle couldn't stop Yao Ming from making an empty cut. He took advantage of his height to grab an offensive rebound, and immediately took off twice in the penalty area, scoring a close-range hook. , Nene didn't cover it, and Anthony couldn't help it. 7 to 6.

The Nuggets attacked, and Anthony wanted the ball again. This time, he chose to shoot from the three-point line and easily avoided Brooks' block.

Yao Ming grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Lou Wei, who drove the ball forward at full speed, and there were several dislocations on the field.

In front of the three-point line, Lu Wei dribbled the ball on the right and changed direction. He passed Billups and got to the basket by his speed, attracting Kreza to make up the defense and passing the ball to the middle. Iguodala followed up. Catch the ball and jump up one step, one-handed smash into the ball. 9 to 6.

The Nuggets attacked, and when Anthony went to the right to single out, Iguodala went to the main defense. Without Yang Rui's arrangement, the players spontaneously adjusted to a mixed defense. Yao Ming continued to move around the penalty area, and the other four were man-marking. .

Yang Rui made an arrangement before the game. If the Nuggets players are not feeling well, they will let them cast, and the counterattack after the zone defense will be dislocated.But if they feel good, Iguodala will go to deal with Anthony, don't let him shoot, scored a super high score in a single game.

If Anthony is out of breath, it will be easy to get 40 points, so he can't ignore it.

Anthony didn't play hard, and passed it to Hamilton, who was running. Lou Wei followed very closely. He was only at a disadvantage in size, and he had an advantage over Hamilton in speed.

Hamilton didn't take advantage of his height to shoot directly, and gave the ball to Billups, who was relying on ** to cover and move.

Millsaps switched defenses at times, and Billups gave the ball to Kleiza in the left bottom corner. Yao Ming was too far away to interfere with the shot. Kleiza made a nearly open three-pointer. 9 to 9.

The Nuggets attacked very smoothly. The players shared the ball selflessly. It is not surprising that they could madly abuse the Hornets. In Yang Rui's previous life, they reached the Western Conference finals, but unfortunately lost to the Lakers.

5 minutes later, Yang Rui replaced Yao Ming and sent Odom to strengthen the defense of pick-and-roll and outside shots. The offense continued to rely on two small guards, counterattacks or pick-and-roll breakthroughs.

In the first quarter, neither team could defend the other, and the Lakers fell behind 34-37.

Anthony scored 15 points in a single quarter, and Billups also scored 10 points.The Lakers scored 14 points and made two three-pointers, Andre Iguodala had 8 points, and Millsap also had 6 points and 4 rebounds.

In the second quarter, Yao Ming, who had rested for a while, came on the court to take a substitute, and partnered with Gibson, James Jones, Posey, and Landry, and soon overtook the score with a wave of 11-0, suspending the Nuggets.

Yao Ming scored 8 points and assisted Posey with a three-pointer on the right.

The weakness of the Nuggets began to appear. The outside signed Hamilton, the attack was stronger, and the inside was inevitably weakened.

Kenyon Martin has stayed with the Nets, and the Nuggets have fewer good insiders in the starting lineup, which makes them even worse off the bench.

"Birdman" Chris Anderson and Najera partner, two pure blue-collar workers. On the offensive end, they can only pick up and score in the penalty area. Yao Ming can huddle around the penalty area and wait for opponents to attack, interfere and block shots.

On the defensive end, Anderson is 208cm tall and weighs 111kg. He suffers from a single defense against big men. He is good at assisting defense and blocking.Najera is 203cm tall and weighs 109kg. He has all the strength and is too short to guard Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming received the ball in the low post, he played very calmly in singles. Without double-teaming him, he easily turned to the baseline and the middle to make jumpers and hooks.His speed is not fast, but the opponent just can't do it.

A team without a meat shield center will face Yao Ming and end up being tortured.

Follow my left hand and right hand in slow motion, right hand left hand, slow motion replay...

After the timeout, the Nuggets replaced Nene, and Yang Rui immediately adjusted, replacing Gibson, and replaced Lu Wei and Yao Ming, who had rested for a while in the first quarter, to play pick-and-rolls, looking for opportunities to dislocate offense.Yao Ming can cut to the basket, or he can catch the ball in the middle, and shoot directly in the face of Nuggets backup point guard Anthony Carter.

At halftime, the Lakers led 70-61.

In the second half, the Nuggets showed another weakness. They did not protect the rebounds well in the backcourt, and the point difference continued to widen.

米尔萨普单节抢了5个前场篮板球，砍下12分7篮板2助攻，他和姚名一起把掘金内线打爆了，三节106比85领先。

The Nuggets Trident can score and hit a high percentage, but other positions are blocked, especially the bench players, who can hardly score. JR Smith is not in the air today and is a blacksmith.

The Nuggets mainly rely on 8-man rotation, and the bench relies too much on JR's scoring. If he can't play, it will be difficult to handle.The Nuggets bench is also worse in terms of defense. Dengtai Jones, who was supposed to shine in the Nuggets this season, is now in the Lakers camp.It was him and Posey taking turns defending, making JR uncomfortable.

After playing for a few more minutes, the Nuggets could not catch up. The game entered garbage time early, and both sides replaced all the main players.

In the final 136 to 103, the Lakers slaughtered the Nuggets, just like the Warriors, without any danger.

Anthony made 20 of 14 shots, 5 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws, and scored 39 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. This performance can be regarded as a super-level performance, but the team has no sign of winning.

Brooks, who scored the most on the Lakers side, had 32 points and 3 assists, and Iguodala had 17 points and 5 assists.

内线姚名30分10篮板4助攻4盖帽；米尔萨普22分14篮板3助攻；兰德里14分；奥多姆表现稍差，也有11分8篮板4助攻进账。

Seven people on the Lakers team scored in double figures, and the insider abused the Nuggets.Nene, the Nuggets' best performer, had 7 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assist, and none of the other insiders scored in double figures.

Van Gundy commented: "When Kobe was there, many people in the regular season thought that the Lakers were a group of blue-collar players except for Yao Ming. Now that Kobe is absent, the Lakers have become stars on the inside, and everyone is crushed."

Jon Barry agreed: "The Lakers are up 52-32 in rebounds, and the Nuggets' fiasco is normal."

McBrin said with a smile: "Those who are optimistic about the Nuggets' promotion may be disappointed. If the Lakers can play at this level in every game, if the Nuggets can win one game, it is a success. I feel very difficult."

At the post-match press conference, George Karl was convinced that he lost, and the Nuggets players had nothing to say.

Yang Rui commented on the game and was proud: "We have no pressure to play against the Nuggets. The reason for winning is very simple. The Lakers have the strongest inside depth in the league. Yao Ming is the best center. To win, he has to be double-teamed to prevent him."

A reporter asked: "Only Yao Ming recorded a double-double among the Lakers inside players during the regular season. The others did not perform well. What do you think is the reason?"

Yang Rui shrugged: "They were guarded during the regular season, and now no one can guard them."
