Chapter 242 The first round is over!
Fan Forum: Hornets fans: "Haha, "Huang San Crazy" is here!"

"The offense at the beginning of the third quarter didn't miss a single shot! All hits!"

"Wait for three quarters to check in!"

"Paul George is so handsome"

………………

And the Lakers fans laughed at themselves: "Hello, your "Three Collapses of the Lake" is online!"

"Is this D'Antoni undercover? It took so long to call a timeout!"

"D'Antoni wants to return to the Hornets at the end of the season!"

"Sister-in-law Jia didn't eat? How many times did she not come in?"

After returning from the timeout, Kobe broke through to the free throw line!

Beep!Presti called for a timeout!

This kind of confrontation is not what Presti wants to see!The score must be opened in the third quarter!

"It seems that Presti is not satisfied with the performance of the players," Barkley said.

"After the timeout, the Hornets did not defend against an attack from the Lakers, so a timeout must be called!" David Wesley affirmed.

On the Hornets coach's bench, Presti held a tactical board and said to the players around him: "Make up the defense quickly! Once the opponent has a dislocation advantage, especially a one-on-one master like Kobe, you need to make up the defense quickly! Remember Ebanks can be empty!"

"Well," the players nodded in response!

Jimmy Butler took the ball and rushed to the basket!

Layup hit! 72:62, the point difference came to 10 points! !

Beep!The Lakers pause!

"The hornets are so fierce!" Barkley exclaimed in surprise!

"This defense is really good, without a single loss of position!" David Wesley admired, and then said: "The Hornets have a flexible lineup. Even if they shrink to double-team, once the outside Lakers have a chance, they can quickly pounce!"

"The Lakers have the ball on Ebanks, there is no threat! The reason why the Hornets dare to double-team is because Ibanks has no shooting threat! Look, the Hornets just let go!" Barkley said helplessly.

The fan forum was also bombarded at this time, Lakers fans: "What is Ebanks for!!!"

"It's over, Ebanks is going to kill the Lakers in the playoffs!"

"Ebanks has no shooting threat. Once Kobe or others break through, the Hornets shrink directly and cannot get in at all!"

"How to play this ball?"

"Ebanks, get out next season! It's too eye-catching!"

………………

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers replaced Matt Barnes, but the Lakers' offense did not improve, and was still limited by the Hornets' fast-moving small lineup!

Paul George's fadeaway and Jimmy Butler's paint score helped the Hornets expand their lead again!
And the Lakers didn't score a point for more than 2 minutes!
The Lakers couldn't make shots from the outside, and once they entered the inside, they couldn't get in, causing the situation to collapse again and again!
The Hornets relied on Thompson's three-pointer, Paul George scored 2+1 against Gasol at the basket, and Curry's ultra-long three-pointer, taking a 9-point lead with a 0-16 offensive!
The Lakers had no choice but to call out a timeout again!

"The Lakers are going to collapse!" Barkley said regretfully.

"No way, the Hornets' offense and defense in the third quarter were too good," David Wesley said.

And Presti said to the players: "In this scoring drought, the Lakers will definitely slow down and find the most obvious advantage. The ball will basically go to Gasol. Whiteside, you must pay attention to helping defend in time!"

After the timeout, Gasol sure enough used the dislocation singles to hit Jimmy Butler!
Easy hook!

This is Whiteside who assisted in the defense and flew directly!
Press the ball on the backboard again!

Paul George rushed over to grab the rebound!
Speed ​​up and bring it over!

Fall to the top of the arc!

Immediately distribute it to Curry who followed up on the right!

Curry threw a three-pointer directly!
Miss this time!

But running Whiteside!
Jump up and make up the buckle!

On the Lakers' side, Kobe fell to the low post again, turned over and finally broke the Lakers' scoring drought!

And Matt Barnes finally hit a three-pointer with the help of a screen!

But the rising Hornets took full control of the situation, Curry scored a three-pointer again, and Paul George broke through the railing for a layup!
And Jimmy Butler also forced Sessions, relying on Bynum to score the ball!
The Hornets sent another wave of 11-4 offensive to expand the score again!
After three quarters, the Hornets lead the Lakers 92-73!

The point difference has come to 19 points!
In the final quarter, Presti boldly replaced with five substitutes!

"This Presti is really brave, to be on the five-substitute lineup in the Western Conference semifinals!" Barkley said in surprise.

"Presti is indeed playing singles, but the fourth quarter has just started, and there is a suicidal lineup with five substitutes!" David Wesley was also puzzled.

Seeing this opportunity, the Lakers immediately launched a strong attack!

At the beginning, Matt Barnes scored a three-pointer for the Lakers, and then Bynum made a singles hit by Okafor under the basket!
And Gordon immediately accelerated to the frontcourt, taking advantage of the Lakers' retreat and unsteady foothold, he directly killed the basket and scored 2+1 to stabilize the situation!
Afterwards, the Hornets' substitute status was bad and they couldn't find their status, and the Lakers rushed to catch up!

Presti had no choice but to change into the starting lineup again!

As soon as the starter came up, Thompson hit two mid-range shots!The Hornets took control of the situation with Thompson's two goals!
Kobe's 2+1 and Sessions' three-pointer helped the Lakers gradually find their offensive sense!

But the defensive end can't limit the Hornets who are already in full swing!
Curry, Thompson and Paul George scored a three-pointer to resist the Lakers' counterattack!

The point difference came to 16 points again!And there are only 3 minutes left in the game!

The huge point difference turned the subsequent games into garbage time!
With more than 1 minute left, both sides put on substitutes!
In the first game of the final Western Conference semifinals, the Hornets beat the Lakers 114-100
