NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 385
After Gasol went down to rest, the Lakers played at full speed.

Their backcourt substitute Farmar felt better than Fisher in this game. He partnered with Kobe during the rotation, and the two made three-pointers.

The Suns are not afraid to compete with the opponent's speed. They are experts in this regard, but when the two teams speed up, there will definitely be some omissions in defense. At this time, their offense must not be left behind.

Seeing that the Lakers are now trying to catch up, many fans became enthusiastic.

Because the Lakers won an away game, the outside world is also paying a lot of attention to the Western Conference Finals.

For neutral fans, suspenseful games are more attractive.

"I feel like Kobe is coming. He hit all three-pointers directly against the defense. The Lakers really have a chance to end the Sun Dynasty. The Suns' previous opponents did not have Kobe's scorer."

"Impossible. Russell is not a vegetarian. The home court advantage can be regained by the Suns in this game. The Lakers just took advantage of the Suns' nap to steal a game. It's not like this happened before."

"Rationally speaking, the Suns' lineup is indeed stronger, but they are not as stable as last season."

"Could it be that the Lakers' lineup is very stable? They only took shape in the middle of the season, and maybe they haven't done a good run-in yet."

"What is there to argue about, who is better, Russell or Kobe? Is it difficult to watch a series?"

"Hehe, a series doesn't explain much. There is a gap between the two teams' lineups."

The Suns and the Lakers are fighting on the court, and the fans watching the live broadcast naturally have different opinions.

After Russell on the Suns side played again, their offense has improved significantly.

In their current lineup, except for Russell, the other four offensively only need to attack.

It is difficult for ordinary organizers to achieve this level, but Russell does have this ability.

With Russell on the same field, Ellis also became particularly active.

His speed is very fast. After catching the ball, he passes the opponent in one step and pulls it up. His moves are simple and easy to use.

I can only blame the Lakers for their poor defense. The footwork of the backcourt players is very average, which means that Kobe is good, and Ellis is not afraid to meet other people.

When the team is leading, Russell doesn't need to be completely explosive, sending a good pass can solve many problems.

And with the activeness of the Sun's small lineup, the Lakers did not dare to double-team him.

With the current lineup of the Suns, all five players on the court have good offensive capabilities, and the Lakers expressed their helplessness.

The Suns' small lineup also has weaknesses. The defense is far worse than last season. Unfortunately, the Lakers can't seize the opportunity to make a fuss, and even the rebounding advantage is difficult to reflect.

After all, although Gasol has height, he is not the kind of black and hard that can dominate the restricted area. Their height advantage cannot be converted into practical things.

The Lakers are also depressed. At this time, they hope to have a strong striker, or Bynum can play. If they have twin towers, the Suns will definitely not be able to play this lineup.

Of course, if the Lakers really have twin towers, the Suns also have high insiders.

The current lineup of the Suns is only for the configuration of the Lakers, and they still have many options.

As time passed, the Lakers became a little anxious, and they made more and more three-pointers.

During the rotation period, they narrowed the score gap to single digits, but after Russell came up, the Suns led to double digits again. 10 points felt like a hurdle that was difficult for them to overcome.

They belong to a strong offensive team and will not grind like the Spurs, so they must attack, otherwise the home court advantage they have finally won will be wiped out.

"Damn it, none of you can stop me." Kobe couldn't help spouting trash.

He has scored 30+, but the score gap between the two teams has not narrowed, Kobe is in a hurry.

Nearly halfway through the final quarter, Kobe hit three consecutive three-pointers, and the Lakers saw hope of winning again.

It's a pity that Kobe immediately ushered in a flank attack.

The Lakers also began to change, and did not let the pure attacker Ellis stay on the court.

Bryant's three-pointer came late in the quarter, and he felt right.

So regardless of whether he double-teamed or not, he continued to shoot from the three-point line.

It's a pity that the Suns are now defending three-pointers, and his shooting has become the sound of iron strikes again.

Kobe's ability is still top-notch, and he still forcibly hit a three-pointer, but that's it, and the other shots are all gone.

The shots of Vujacic and Farmar also hit the iron.

In the last 5 minutes, the Suns' defensive strength increased again, and the Lakers did not give the Lakers a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

And themselves, Durant suddenly hit a three-pointer.

Durant's attack in the playoffs can be said to be irregular. When expecting him, he may hit the iron, but when ignoring him, he will come out to find a sense of presence. The key is that no matter who defends him, he feels the same.

This is enough to see his talent, but the Suns have too many powerful players, and the Lakers don't have the energy to pay attention to him. Durant's rookie playoffs can be said to be barbaric growth.

After Kobe hit the iron several times in a row, the score gap between the two sides widened a little.

After all, when the Lakers gambled three-pointers in order to chase points, the Suns played more and more steadily, and the score gap could not remain unchanged.

And the time has been less than 3 minutes, the Lakers are a little desperate.

Then Kobe and Gasol both scored, but the Suns continued to attack.

After all, the game could not be carried out according to the Lakers' imagination. The Suns won the game steadily in the away game, leading the series 2:1.

After the game, Lakers head coach Jackson also felt helpless. He regretted: "We once took the lead and we had a chance to win the game, but we didn't grasp it."

Koe has recovered his composure after the game. He praised the Suns generously. He said: "They have many excellent players, and their performance is always surprising."

He also said: "We failed to prevent the opponent from scoring at the most critical time. I hope the team can do better next game."

D'Antoni said proudly: "We never doubted that we could win. We have enough good players, we have enough depth in the lineup, and those guys want to perform better on the court. There is no doubt that they did. .”

Ellis, who performed well in this game, expressed his respect for Russell. He said: "He is really competitive. He can maintain enough aggressiveness regardless of what happens on the field. I very much Respect Russell's way of playing, always encounter various difficulties on the field, we must overcome these difficulties and win the final victory like a man."

"All of us believed that as long as Russell was around, we would keep winning."

Many fans also think so. The Suns are still playing away games, but after the series leads, the pressure will go to the Lakers more.
