Chapter 212 Boost morale
Breaking through Luke Walton in one step, Channing stopped the ball near the free throw line again, accurately observed the position of his teammates, and passed the ball to the right with both hands. In the bottom corner on the right, Battier had been lying in wait for a long time.

Just when Odom rushed forward to steal the right, Channing suddenly paused, and the movement of passing the ball to the right stopped abruptly, followed by a smart swipe from the top of the head with his left hand, and the basketball quickly rushed to the left corner. go.

Pass the ball behind the head with one hand!

Odom exclaimed, he was completely fooled by Channing's pass fake!

Channing Frye catches the ball and hits a three-pointer, leading the score by 1 point!
Phil Jackson's scalp tingled for a while. Less than 3 minutes into the second quarter, the 7-point advantage was wiped out. More importantly, Zen Master found that he could not restrain Channing at all. In other words, Channing is very good at passing the ball. The one-handed pass movement clearly shows Channing's passing skills.

"The big man at 2 meters can pass the ball so smoothly in the breakthrough. I am afraid that Channing's passing skills are not inferior to the left-handed magician Lamar Odom!"

Kobe looked at the head coach, Phil Jackson still decided to wait and see, let the substitutes delay for a while, usually when the second quarter is nearly halfway through, Zen master will send the main lineup.

"Strengthen the defense and hold on for another 3 minutes!"

After blowing the whistle, Zen Master loudly encouraged the team members.

It's a pity that the Lakers' bench lineup is too stretched, and it doesn't give Phil Jackson any confidence.

After overtaking the score, the Philadelphia team, under the leadership of Channing's cup tactics, can be said to be more and more courageous, and their morale is getting higher and higher.

Another breakthrough with the ball, Channing did not challenge the basket guarded by Turiaf and Odom. Instead, he dribbled the ball to the middle. After driving the defense, he passed the ball from behind and accurately found Lowry.

Lowry raised his sword and hit a three-pointer. It seems that the recent three-pointer practice is very effective.

Using various methods to send assists, in just 1 minute, the Philadelphia team played another wave of 5-0, extending the lead to 6 points. Finally, Phil Jackson couldn't sit still and called a timeout.

"From trailing by 13 points in the second half of the first quarter to leading by 4 points in the first 6 minutes of the second quarter, the Philadelphia team rained three-pointers and played a small climax. Channing's performance was unstoppable. He solved the individual singles and all kinds of dazzling assists, leading the team to overtake the score!"

"Being chased by the opponent for 19 points in a row, coach Phil Jackson's timeout finally came, but isn't it a bit slow?"

The commentator on the scene is also expressing his opinion on the game.

Phil Jackson's expression was ugly. He admitted that he had slowed down and underestimated Channing, which led to the current situation. However, with Kobe and the insiders at his side, Phil Jackson still firmly believed that the victory belonged to him.

"All starters, take back the advantage that originally belonged to us!"

Hearing this sentence, Kobe, who had long been impatient, suddenly got up and went into battle again.

This time, Zen Master's adjustment had an immediate effect. The starting strength of the Lakers was far stronger than that of the bench lineup. After suppressing for a long time, Kobe fired recklessly, consecutive singles and jump shots, and shot Belinelli to pieces.

In terms of rebounds, the advantage of the Lakers is even more obvious. Channing fought against Gasol and Bynum, and suffered a lot. He was accidentally dunked by Gasol's long arm.

The bigger impact is on the offensive end. Although the Lakers' starting small forward Radmanovic's defense is very loose, the existence of the two towers inside greatly limits Channing's breakthrough, allowing Channing to break through and score the ball. Unable to perform, he could only score in consecutive singles.

In this way, the Lakers slowly tied the score. In the last 4 minutes of the first half, Coach Cheeks asked Channing to rest and sent Gortat, Reggie Evans, Corey Brewer, Igor The lineup of Darla and Jack tried to slow down and grind the defense.

Iguodala did reduce Kobe's offensive efficiency, but after Channing came off the court, Phil Jackson cleverly focused the Lakers' offense on the inside. The inside combination of Gortat and Reggie Evans was defeated. To Gasol and Bynum's frequent crits.

In this way, at the end of the first half, Philadelphia's 6-point advantage was completely wiped out, and they fell behind by 5 points again.

The second half was exactly the same as the first half. The Lakers' starting lineup used Kobe's singles and twin towers to crush them, constantly expanding the point difference. Bo three-point rain, breakthroughs, assists, try to narrow the point difference.

Soon, the game entered the fourth quarter, with less than 4 minutes left before the end, and Philadelphia trailed by 6 points.

"Although the Philadelphia team caused us a lot of trouble, we are sure to win this game."

Phil Jackson thought to himself, with the last 4 minutes left in the game, the Lakers have survived the stage of constantly digging the bench lineup, and now they are all starting the game. It is estimated that the Philadelphia team will not be able to make a big wave.

Even Channing, who may have had a problem with his physical strength, continued to hit the iron in the fourth quarter. The Philadelphia team fell into a scoring drought. In Zen Master's view, victory is close at hand.

However, Cheeks didn't think so and called a timeout. Coach Cheeks wanted to do something to boost morale.

As the head coach of a weak team, in most games this season, Cheeks is more religious about the outcome, but today is different. The big deal has been completed, and the playoffs are just around the corner. This tone must be bitten. If If you give up tonight, in the face of the next devil's schedule, I am afraid that the Philadelphia team will not even have the courage to fight for the playoffs.

"Players, the game is not over yet. The Lakers are not as strong as they look. We suppressed them in the second quarter. Now, the same thing needs us to do it again!"

Cheeks yelled loudly, cheering for the players, and Channing raised his right arm first, and made a speech to his teammates:
"Brothers, do you still remember the 2001 playoffs? The Lakers with O'Neal and Kobe were unstoppable. They were crushed in the West and entered the finals with a perfect record. Some people say that the Lakers at that time were the most dominant in history. team, they will set a historical record of winning the championship, and some people say that the Lakers can even beat Michael Jordan's Bulls. Serious lesson, which team is this?"

"It's Philadelphia! It's us!"

"Today, the strength of the Lakers has dropped a lot, but we have strengthened our strength through trades, and the gap between us and them has narrowed!"

"Brothers, tonight, let us beat the Lakers again! Let the whole league tremble for us!"
