Standing pretty old

Chapter 377 Never Give Up ([-])

"The situation is very unfavorable for the Hawks, but the Hawks still shouldn't mess themselves up. Odom played too well in the first quarter. This is something no one expected. Now the Hawks should stand on defense and chase the score a little bit. Come back." Zhang He said understandingly.

Sun Zhenping on the side asked: "Director Zhang, do you think there is still a possibility for the Eagles to come back in the next game?"

Zhang Lili said: "It's not impossible. A large score behind may inspire the Eagles' fighting spirit. Similarly, a large lead will also make the Lakers paralyzed. It depends on the performance of the players of the two teams on the field."

Director Zhang's words are of course nonsense, but the truth is correct.

As soon as the second quarter started, the Eagles started their counterattack. The first person to stand up was veteran Nick Van Exel.

The opponent was the Lakers, and Van Exel had no reason to back down. Killing the Lakers in the finals was a good opportunity for revenge that he had never had before. He did not expect that after retiring and coming back, he would usher in such a good opportunity.

Jordan Farmar is still a little tender. He doesn't know that Fan Crazy's shots have never been regular.

Van Exel held the ball outside the three-point line and made a sudden shot 2 steps away from the three-point line. The ball flew to the basket with a high arc.

When Farmar turned around, "Swipe!" The basketball had already fallen into the basket.

Fan Maniac's performance was far from over, Childress intercepted a pass from Luke Walton, then went straight to the frontcourt, facing a double team during the layup, the Stanford top student had to throw the ball to Van Exel on the outside.

Van Exel made another 3-pointer and hit it again!

Farmar holds the ball and passes it to Vujacic. Vujacic takes a three-pointer against Salim Stoudemire and misses it!

Eclipse grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Van Exel.

Crazy Fan dribbled the ball across the half court unhurriedly, and suddenly entered the penalty area when his opponent hadn't settled down. Although he was old, he was an extraordinary worshiper, but he deceived Farmer so that he had no temper at all. .

Facing Turiaf's defense, Van Exel flicked his wrist, played a high throw, and hit it again!
The Lakers requested a timeout, and they were stunned by a wave of attacks from Madman Fan.

The Eagles celebrated wildly. The first quarter was too suffocating. Fan Fan's chaos and madness came at the right time. If he is not crazy at this time, should he regret it after losing?
Woodson's replacement had a miraculous effect. Regardless of the hidden dangers of Madman Fan, this fearless guy, even at the age of 38, can still score explosively in a short period of time.In this regard, Bibby may not be able to compare with him.

"Don't be distracted. We haven't won the game yet. Defend! Defend! Defend! Whoever doesn't defend, I'll replace him immediately." Who said that Master Zen has always been God, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai?When he should be in a hurry, he is just as anxious.

The timeout ended, and the two teams replaced their main players again.

Kobe tried to take over the game as soon as he came on the court, but Jon Jisen refused to give an inch, and once again resorted to wrapping words, which firmly restricted Kobe's performance. After two consecutive shots, Kobe didn't dare to mess around, and called the ball again out.

Black Mamba is indeed the pinnacle of his career this season. Even the shot selection is still not ideal, but at least he is willing to share the ball. If he does this, Kobe will immediately be eligible to enter the historical level.

Gasol and Fischer did not disappoint Kobe's pass, they hit shots or caused fouls, and scored free throws, which finally curbed the Hawks' counterattack to a certain extent.

However, one person's momentum could not be suppressed, and Ruan Erniu broke out in the first quarter.

After switching to Odom, the two bulls' tough defense made the left-handed magician quite uncomfortable. I don't know if he performed too well in the first quarter and carried the idol burden, or Odom was too deliberate in pursuing the success rate. .

Under Ruan Erniu's aggressive defense, Odom only took one shot and hit a goal in a single quarter in the open space of the basket. Until the end of the first half, Odom's shooting rate was 100%.

On the defensive end of the Lakers, neither Gasol nor Odom can stop the manic bull.

Ruan Erniu did not spare his physical strength, hitting the basket again and again, either succeeding in dunks, or causing fouls and getting free throws.

He made 8 of 5 shots and 5 of 4 free throws in a single quarter. He scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.

Throughout the second quarter, the two teams scored 32:23, and the Hawks recovered 9 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the first half, at 46:58, the Hawks still trailed their opponents by 12 points, but compared to the 21-point pit in the first quarter, the Hawks at least had hope.

A life without dreams is gloomy, and a team without hope has no combat effectiveness.

The Hawks' persistence earned them a chance to counterattack.

In the past first half, Ruan Erniu scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 1 assist, making him the best player in the team.

For the Lakers, the best performer was Lamar Odom, who scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the half.

Kobe's first-half statistics were 3 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds.

The assists were soaring, but his own scoring just couldn't increase. Throughout the first half, Kobe scored 0 in sports games and scored 3 points only by free throws.

The Eagles carried out their zone defense tactics to the end. Kobe missed all four shots and scored less than 5 points at halftime, which is already very illustrative.

Woodson also ignored it, and had to strangle Kobe to death.

If the other Lakers players can't hold on to the end, the Eagles must win the game.

The more you are in a desperate situation, the more you can't admit defeat. If you admit defeat, it's completely over. If you persist, you may win back.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "Although the Lakers are leading the score, what I want to say is that the Hawks played more clearly and they did not waver. We must give praise to this young army. They are more tenacious than we thought. "

Mark Jackson said: "Maybe we all underestimated Mike Woodson. Many people thought that he was not worthy of the best coach trophy. However, in fact, Woodson's progress this season is also obvious. The rise of the Hawks, He is absolutely indispensable.”

Mike Breen said: "I heard that Billy Knight, the general manager of the Hawks, didn't want to draft Kraft Nguyen at first. The best coach ever. Otherwise, where did Phil's best coach come from?"

As we all know, Phil Jackson is a standard manager-style head coach. What he is best at is to integrate superstars to win the championship.

In the commentary of Tianchao, teacher Zhang Lili also said: "The Hawks did a good job in limiting Kobe, but Kobe will definitely launch a counterattack in the second half, and the Hawks are still 12 points behind, so they must do more defensively. it is good."

Sun Zhenping said: "Now let's return the time to the studio!"

……

Regardless of how Yu Jia and Da Xu were talking nonsense on the court stage, in the Hawks locker room here, Woodson was praising his players one by one.

"You guys did a great job! Remember, we are the strongest. The Lakers led us by 12 points by chance. It's nothing. We will definitely win G4."
