NBA bench saves national team

Pacers locker room.

The players sat in their respective positions, sweat still dripping from their skin.

Every player is like a small stove, emitting amazing heat.

"Hey, guys, everyone played very well in the first half, but for us, the third quarter of the second half is the real test! I hope everyone can continue to maintain the state of the first half, maintain the intensity of the offense, Rip through your opponent's defense like a beast!"

"As long as the third quarter is stable, we have a great chance to win the Lakers and become the first team to win the Lakers this season."

Vogel said, his tone gradually becoming agitated.

The players all nodded, with excitement on their faces, as if winning the Lakers was a great thing.

If it is said that for old strong teams like the Spurs and Heat, winning a game against the Lakers in the regular season does not mean much, but for a young team such as the Pacers, it is possible to win against the mighty Lakers. It is undoubtedly a kind of motivation for them and a boost of confidence.

Even though they are now the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference, they will not forget the scene of being sanctioned by the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals last year.

Winning the Lakers will give them more confidence to challenge the Heat, and even enter the finals to compete with the Lakers for the championship.

"In the second half of the game, we mainly focused on Qin Feng. As long as his offense is restricted, the Lakers' offense will drop by half. Kobe is getting old, and his performance this season has declined significantly. The offensive feel of this game is not good. , as long as you keep an eye on it, the remaining rookies like Lowry and Giannis are nothing to be afraid of."

Vogel quickly drew on the tactical board, talking while drawing, and continued to analyze the situation of the Lakers.

The players nodded again.

The Lakers' overall shooting percentage in this game is not high, but even so, they scored 60 points in the half game.

Fortunately, the Pacers shot very well.

As the coach said, as long as the second half is maintained, it is possible to win the game.

"Finally, let's cheer together!"

Vogel stretched out his hand, and the rest of the players put their hands on it one after another, and then shouted "Come on" together.

Full of momentum.

......

Lakers locker room.

All the players are closing their eyes and resting their minds.

Head coach Steve Kerr simply said, "Steady your mind in the second half and play normally", and then went to study the video of the first half.

Of course, it is impossible for him to watch the video of the entire first half of the game, just watching some key offensive and defensive rounds.

The players also nodded slightly, and then entered the rest state again.

A long intermission passed.

The second half of the game begins.

The two sides are still the starting lineup for the opening game.

The Pacers took the lead in attacking.

After halftime dribbling, Stephenson kept shaking his shoulders and took small steps to show off his dribbling ability.

After changing directions continuously, he leaned forward and broke through from the right, then suddenly stopped and jumped up to complete a long-range shot.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

After scoring the goal, Stephenson stuck out his tongue while returning to defense, very excited.

Obviously, he brought his fiery shooting touch from the first half to the second half of the game.

Lakers offense.

Lowry quickly dribbled the ball through half court, broke through Stephenson to the penalty area, and found that there was no chance to attack, so he dribbled back to the three-point line, looking for his teammates, flicked his wrist, and passed the basketball to Qin wind.

Qin Feng faced Paul George with the ball and was about to break through. Unexpectedly, George Hill suddenly rushed over and double-teamed Qin Feng with Paul George.

See here.

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and he passed the basketball to Kobe with a flick of his wrist.

How dare you let Kobe open?

These young guys really don't know how fierce Kobe's offense is!

Do you really think that this old guy is old and his competitive ability has declined, so he has no offensive threat?

Don't forget that Kobe is a man who can score 60 points in retirement games!

really.

After Kobe received the basketball, his expression also became sharp.

Let yourself shoot open three-pointers?

This is a rare situation in the entire career!

This time I can't fix it for myself.

But since I have given myself a chance to be vacant, then naturally I can't waste it!

Kobe was calm, and he aimed at the basket, and then easily threw the basketball.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The Lakers tied the score.

After scoring the goal, Kobe also turned around and returned to the defense very calmly. This kind of low-difficulty three-pointer is not worthy of his celebration at all.

The Pacers attack.

Paul George forced a mid-range shot against Qin Feng's defense.

bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Antetokounmpo grabbed a backcourt rebound, quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and then passed the basketball to Kobe again.

Kobe, who had already stopped outside the three-point line, received the basketball, raised his hand and made another three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

The Lakers lead by 3 point.

The audience at the scene became tense.

what's the situation?

The three quarters of the Lakers' death are coming, don't the Pacers have any preparations?

Besides, what the hell is it to let Kobe shoot an open three-pointer?

Defensive blunder?

The fans couldn't figure it out, but they still looked forward to the Pacers' counterattack climax.

After George Hill dribbled the ball through half court, he passed the basketball to Hibbert in the penalty area, trying to stabilize his hand.

Hibbert turned and hooked.

bang.

Strike the iron again.

It was Antetokounmpo who grabbed the rebound again and quickly dribbled the ball across half court like a racing sports car.

"Stop Giannis with all my might!"

Pacers coach Vogel shouted from the sidelines.

But how could David West, who was facing Antetokounmpo, keep up with Antetokounmpo's speed, he could only watch helplessly as the distance between the two grew wider.

Paul George made it up very helplessly, wanting to restrict Giannis in the penalty area. The latter is also very smart. Even though he has a physical advantage, he did not force the attack, but passed the basketball to Qin Feng who followed up from the outside .

The on-site commentator exclaimed again and again, Antetokounmpo even showed his sophistication in the Lakers.

I have the opportunity to lay up and not attack, but I want to pass the basketball to the team leader. This wave is really a bit deliberate.

After Qin Feng received the basketball, he raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

After hitting the three-pointer, Qin Feng also smiled happily, stepped forward and gave Giannis a high five.

beep.

Vogel requested a timeout.

The Lakers scored three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the second half, hitting a 9:2 climax.

How good is this offensive firepower?

There must be a way to limit it!
