The strongest basket king

Chapter 86
In the second quarter, the Nuggets adjusted again and replaced Mozgov.

Mozgov's height and weight can indeed be topped inside, but he is also a player with no surprises.

Xiang Chu steadily completed the tasks during the rotation period and helped the team maintain the lead.

The main force played again, and the Nuggets' offense also recovered a bit, and they did a good job in counterattack.

Faried followed the fast break and the Lakers couldn't keep up with the inside line, and Bynum couldn't help defending so brutally all the time. The Nuggets began to play back and forth with the Lakers.

The Nuggets are relatively strong on the outside, but their three-pointers are not sharp. Although they have made many shots, their shooting percentage is not high. This is the reason why they can't take advantage of the outside.

In fact, the Nuggets caught up with them for a while, but their lineup was vacillating. They wanted to defend the Lakers inside and wanted to launch a wave of offense. Instead, the Lakers seized the opportunity to play a few inside.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led by 7 points, no more, no less acceptable to both sides.

The Lakers' defense is still good, but the rebounds are not good. Only Xiang Chu has maintained a normal level, and Gasol and Bynum are both a bit out of level.

Of course, Bynum is very sharp on offense, but the main thing is that Gasol is a little bit restrained.

In fact, if it wasn't for Bynum's defense, Gasol would have been embarrassed by the rookie. Gasol was restrained by the black and hard who could run and jump, and Farid was quite peculiar.

However, Gasol's versatility is indispensable for the Lakers. He can partner with Bynum or Xiang Chu, and Xiang Chu's partner Bynum is not so efficient.

In the third quarter, Kobe vs. Beyoncé Lawson.

It's just that Kobe has been soaring for three quarters, and Ty Lawson didn't feel better in the second half.

In general, the Nuggets still take advantage of the perimeter. They are not just Ty Lawson. Even if Gallinari and Efflalo feel average, they still have a substitute.

However, the Lakers also completely suppressed the opponent inside, which happened to form a balance.

Relying on the head start in the first quarter, the Lakers maintained their lead.

In fact, this is similar to the last game, except that the first quarter led more. Both sides have their own advantages, and they are completely mutual explosions in the field of advantage.

Of course, Kobe can be said to be a nuclear weapon. As long as he feels good, the Nuggets have nothing to do.

Xiang Chu faced Mozgov when he played this time. Mozgov played well in the first half, but it was against Bynum.

Xiang Chu was still different. It seemed that Xiang Chuyuan was not as good as Bynum. In fact, he was much more difficult to defend at certain times. Mozgov thought that it would be fine if he stood still, but he didn't expect Xiang Chu to dunk when he turned around.

The insiders who are facing Xiang Chu for the first time will have doubts. This buddy has a good sense of rebounding.

The key point is that Xiang Chu doesn't usually look like Griffin's violent dunker. He gives people the impression that he is tall and long, and he immediately becomes an explosive monster when attacking the basket, which is unreasonable.

Although only Xiang Chu played well in this rotation, the Lakers still gradually opened up the score.

The Nuggets adjusted again, and Xiang Chu met McGee again.

This time McGee didn't attack at all, and focused entirely on defense.

This also played a role in it, he didn't push hard with Xiang Chu, but moved half a step away to interfere.

Xiang Chu is not afraid of interference, but after two times, McGee found the rhythm and blocked one.

But there is only one, Xiang Chu's dunk is too fast, it is very difficult to catch that moment, Xiang Chu only needs to change the rhythm a little, and McGee is blinded.

The best way is to be able to carry the body and stand up to block shots in the confrontation. There are not many insiders with this ability in the league, at least the Nuggets don't.

The Lakers' lead finally came to double digits, halfway through the final quarter, and almost stabilized.

Unexpectedly, after the main lineup came up, they encountered a crisis again. McGee, who was a little depressed by Xiang Chu, suddenly showed his power and blocked several big caps, and Bynum was the victim.

The Nuggets took the opportunity to close the score. At the last moment, Kobe hit the iron again. Mike Brown broke out in a cold sweat, but the Lakers held steady at home.

At the critical moment, Sessions hit 2 points, Bynum scored 2+1, and the Nuggets had no choice but to drink their hatred.

With 12 points and 13 rebounds, it was a coincidence that Xiang Chu had the same statistics as the first game.

The most glorious game was Kobe and Bynum again. The two teamed up to score 65 points, which is like a new OK combination.

With a 2:0 lead in the series, Kobe is also extremely confident about the team's performance. "I think we're just better than them, and it's really difficult to play against us because we have three players who need to be double-teamed."

Bynum happily flattered the boss, "This is his level, this is Kobe. We all know that he will bring us such a performance, because the playoffs are his favorite."

ESPN also praised on the official social media after the game, "Kobe seems to have entered a superhuman state of 'It's useless to defend me, because it's useless to defend me'."

In this way, Xiang Chu had to express something, and he followed without any pressure, "Boss MVP."

However, he added shamelessly, "I'm much worse, that is, invincible during the rotation period."

Only Gasol spoke seriously to the reporter: "Last season's failure made us more focused in this playoffs. We will not underestimate any team, nor will we underestimate any game. In order to win , the guys were willing to do anything. Overall, we had another good game, but we also let them play more easily than they did in the first game."

The playoffs are in full swing, with the success of the strong teams and various surprises.

The 76ers broke out in the third quarter and killed the Ross-less Bulls. They deliberately fell to the eighth opponent this time, which may have really played a role. The Knicks must now look complicated.

In another group in the East, Pierce showed his strength, and the Celtics and Eagles also tied 1:1.

In the last two games of the second round, the Spurs beat the Jazz violently, and the Grizzlies routinely stole a victory from the Clippers.

After the first two home games, there were some minor accidents in the east, but the west was about the same as everyone expected.

But after all, this is still the home field of the strong teams. If there are any accidents, they usually appear in the away game.

For a team to come back, the first away game is the key.

Although there is a big gap in strength among the players in the first round of the playoffs, it is not impossible to overturn.

The playoffs are more intense than the regular season, and after everyone adapts to the rhythm, the most intense moment is coming.

"4:0 sweep."

The Lakers are now united and can't wait to show their championship strength. The veterans of the team also hope to end the series soon and get more rest time.
