The strongest basket king

Chapter 87

The third game of the playoffs took the lead in the group of the Pacers and the Magic. Back at home, the Magic did not bring any surprises to the fans and surrendered early.

Howard, the first scoring point in the regular season, was reimbursed, and Ryan Anderson, the second scoring point in the regular season, was completely useless. They had no hope of winning at all.

As for the most stable group in the East, James made the final quarter, and the Heat got the match point 3:0 to the Knicks.

The Thunder also got the match point. The Mavericks seem to be only a little short, but every time they try to exert their strength, they will find that the gap is still quite large.

The defending champion had no resistance in the first round, and could only convince them of Xia Tian's operation.

However, Yi Jianlian dunked a basket during the garbage time of the game and successfully made his career playoff debut.

It is not so easy for many players to play in the playoffs. It can be said that Xiang Chu is extremely lucky to directly follow a strong team.

Two teams have already won match points, and the Lakers are ambitious to become the third.

Before the game, Bynum was still yelling, "Xiang, I will blow them up as soon as possible, so that you can go to the venue more."

Howard didn't play in the playoffs, and Bynum felt that he was already the No. [-] center, and he was in a good mood these days.

Mike Brown reminded players that the Nuggets' home court may not be so easy, but he also felt that the Lakers had an advantage.

The Nuggets changed their starting lineup this time, and their inside wheel battle had gone bankrupt in the first two games, and Mozgov appeared at the fifth position in the starting lineup.

The Lakers didn't think much of it, and sophomore Mozgov was no threat to them.

But I didn't expect it to be unexpected in the first quarter. Bynum didn't score a point. Ty Lawson scored a double in a single quarter and beat Sessions. The Lakers fell behind by double digits.

Bynum's state is not limited to the first quarter, he also didn't score in the second quarter. The dream of sitting as the first center is estimated to be a bit dim now.

Xiang Chu grabbed the team's highest 7 rebounds after playing, but this time he didn't take advantage of McGee.

It's not that McGee can guard him anymore, it's that McGee has a good touch and a few very technical attacks hit.

McGee not only beat him twice, but also beat Bynum, who was completely out of temper.

Trailing by 16 points at halftime, Mike Brown almost wanted to put Bynum on the bench again.

But he really can't do this in the playoffs. Xiang Chu can't completely replace Bynum. If the Lakers want to go further in the playoffs, they need Bynum's strength to play.

This is not a matter of winning a game. Players are not robots and have emotions. If you play basketball games and change players casually, in reality, you must pay attention to the emotions of the main players.

In many playoff games, fans have questioned some coaches why they don’t give more opportunities to substitute players when they see that some players are not in good shape. Is it true that the coaches will not be clear about what the fans can see, but the coaches need to consider more , reality is not a game.

Mike Brown didn't even curse loudly, he just carefully analyzed the situation in the first half and explained the tactics.

This time the Nuggets did not play a small lineup, and most of the time they were fighting with the Lakers. It is reasonable that the Lakers can win in this situation, but the reality is different. The Lakers' previous two victories made them somewhat Floating, the Nuggets' devils are not so easy to play at home.

Mike Brown's chicken soup for the soul still had some effect, and Bynum rose again in the second half.

With Kobe constantly hitting the iron, Bynum's dominance of the inside helped the team narrow the score gap to single digits, but after the Nuggets replaced McGee, they really played back and forth with Bynum.

McGee feels very good this time. With his good physical fitness, if he plays like a power forward, the fifth position is really difficult to guard.

And he was really good at blocking shots, and Bynum was blocked by him again.

"Man, I'm used to the playoffs, you guys are dead."

"Hehe, cherish it, you can only perform a few performances..."

Xiang Chu was not afraid of McGee, who was in good form. He broke out and won too quickly, and it was very difficult for McGee to guard against him.

Dunk in front of McGee again, the opponent can only scratch his head in annoyance.

It looks like there is a chance, but if you really want to block the shot, you are either fast or slow.

Xiang Chu still has a slight advantage in the interior, but Sessions was blasted by Ty Lawson and then by Andre Miller. The inside really couldn't fill the hole.

At the last moment, Kobe hit the iron, and the inside twin towers did not score. The Nuggets opened the score all of a sudden, and the Lakers' hope of 3:0 was completely gone.

Although they hope to end the series sooner, it doesn't matter if they lose one game.

It's just that the outside world immediately came up with conspiracy theories, suspecting that they deliberately lost in order to wait for Artest's comeback.

The Nuggets are also miserable. After finally winning a game at home, the outside world thinks that they are not capable.

One is that the media wants to have a topic, and the other is that the strong image of the Lakers is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Last year's playoffs may be because the Mavericks were too lucky, and they just have the strength of the championship.

"Today I wasn't where I wanted to be," Coe said after the game. "They tried to keep me on the perimeter and I didn't get a couple of chances to get into the box. The first two games I survived on the half-space, But today in the second half they pushed me out of that attacking area."

Mike Brown said in the face of reporters' questions: Our plan is to win this round of the series as quickly as possible, rather than waiting for Metta World Peace to come back. "

He said that he would not intentionally wait for Ci Shiping. He may have believed his words, but the Los Angeles media did not believe them. After the team lost to the Nuggets, the "Los Angeles Times" directly used the newspaper headline "The Lakers are one step closer to Metta Shiping's comeback".

As for the reaction of the Nuggets, the media did not pay that much attention.

The advantage of a wealthy team is that it attracts a lot of attention, and the players are a bit like stars. Many teams in the league don't have this kind of treatment. Although it may distract the players, there are definitely more benefits.

Given a choice, most players in the league would like to play in a big city like Los Angeles.

Xiang Chu scored 11 points and 15 rebounds this time. Before he made a statement on social media, a group of fans came to comfort him.

Apart from ignoring those who scold him, the fans are really lovely people.

It's just that while praising him, he despises the rest of the Lakers. Xiang Chu wants to kill thieves, but his teammates hold him back. The coach is completely an actor's rhythm.

Olivia is one of the main players who make troubles, and she has long discovered that this guy uses this kind of drainage, but this woman is getting more and more shameless.

Jim Smith also complained, "I think the Lakers should be decisive. Gasol can't be traded for an All-Star outside line. If you trade for Bynum, you won't be much worse than him in the starting lineup. The overall strength of the Lakers can be improved by two." grade."

"It's a pity that you are not the general manager of the Lakers. Don't say these things are useless, let's help take care of my family."

Xiang Chu was speechless. In fact, he still wanted to thank Jim Smith. He made good arrangements for his family to watch the game, and Xiang Chu was very relieved.
