Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 82
Tyrone Corbin has been trying to figure out how to limit the opponent's offense in the first half, but there is still no good way, and he only emphasizes the defensive end in the locker room and pays attention to the defense, and also arranges on the offensive end Actively use the pick-and-roll on offense to create space for teammates to score.

In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 32 points.The Jazz scored only two points less than the Lakers, but the defensive end cannot limit the Lakers' scoring is a problem that the Jazz urgently needs to solve.And what worries Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin even more is that the Lakers did not use their full strength on the defensive end due to their smooth offense and leading the score in the first half. If they defended with all their strength, it is estimated that the Jazz would score at least Ten less.

Soon the 15-minute intermission ended, and the second half of the game was about to begin.The Lakers sent Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher.The Jazz sent Derrick Favors, Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Gordon Hayward, and Devin Harris.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Jazz took the lead in attacking.Devin Harris commanded his teammates to open up the space with the ball, and he directly broke through to attack the Lakers' basket.

The biggest advantage of Devin Harris is his fast speed, especially the first step. He can often leave his opponent behind him in one step as soon as he starts.But Devin Harris' shortcomings are also very obvious. His shooting movements are not standard enough, resulting in an unsteady shooting rate. He is a standard fanatic. It can only be regarded as bad luck for the team if you have to shoot desperately when the hand feels bad.

Devin Harris started a breakthrough and passed the "old fish" Derek Fisher directly with his speed, and Paul Gasol stepped up to defend.Devin Harris made a sudden stop and turned around. After passing Pau Gasol, he faced Andrew Bynum, the last barrier of the Lakers defense. He feinted and made a backhand layup. The basketball bounced a few times on the rim and still fell into the basket.

The Lakers' offense in the second half was still initiated from the inside.Derrick Fisher dribbles downfield and passes to Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol faced Al Jefferson's defense head-on, dribbled the ball and squeezed directly from the opponent's left hand to the inside, and took two strides to the basket with his left hand to block Al Jefferson's right hand layup , The basketball hits the board and goes into the basket.

Then Devon Harris broke through and gave Paul Millsap the ball.Just before Paul Millsap was about to receive the basketball, his hand suddenly appeared and stopped the basketball.Then a figure with the number 24 on his back flashed by, dribbling the ball and rushing towards the Jazz's half court.Paul Millsap yelled "Back to defense!" and then quickly chased down.

It has to be said that Devin Harris' speed is indeed very fast, and he quickly passed Paul Millsap and was about to catch up with Kobe Bryant in front of him.Kobe Bryant slowed down slightly, deliberately allowed Devin Harris to catch up, and jumped for a layup.Devin Harris then jumped up, wanting to give Kobe a chasing hat.

Kobe Bryant held the ball with both hands and rubbed his right hand against Devin Harris' injury. At the same time, he received the ball, the basketball was handed over to his left hand, and he made a backhand layup.At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, indicating that Devin Harris was fouled by a thug, and Kobe Bryant's goal was counted as an additional free throw.

Kobe Bryant went to the free throw line, but the referee threw the basketball over, and the fans shouted "MVP". Kobe Bryant's free throw percentage this season is 80.00% [-], which is a relatively high level , This free throw was hit steadily.

On the court, Devon Harris missed a long three-pointer from the left side, and the rebound was grabbed by Al Jefferson. After landing, Al Jefferson jumped up again with a roar and dunked with both hands.

Tracy McGrady fakes to shake Gordon Hayward, then jumps, leans forward and makes another very visible contact with Gordon Hayward, then throws the basketball to the hoop, the referee's The whistle also blew, and Gordon Hayward made a defensive foul.

Look at the basketball thrown by Tracy McGrady, it hit the front of the rim, it didn't pop out, but hit the backboard, bounced back and hit the inner edge of the rim, stumbled into the rim Among them, this is the third time the Lakers have played two-on-one in this quarter.The first two times were caused by Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.

Gordon Hayward is still young, and in terms of experience, there is no way to compare with Tracy McGrady, an old fritter who has been in the league for many years. This poor kid has now committed four fouls.However, depending on the situation, Tyrone Corbin did not mean to replace him.

At 40 minutes and [-] seconds of the third quarter, Andrew Bynum hit a hook under the basket and scored [-] points.Coach Tyrone Corbin finally called a timeout when the Jazz trailed the Lakers by [-] points.Judging from the current form, the Lakers can lead the Jazz by [-] points before the end of the third quarter.

"We still have a chance, the third quarter is not over, we can't just give up the game like this! Gordon Hayward is off, Jamal Tinsley is on to organize the team's offense, and Devin Harris tops to score At the guard position, shoot when you get the chance. I ask you to shoot decisively and don’t be afraid of missing the shot!” Coach Tyrone Corbin shouted to his players.

When the player played again, coach Tyrone Corbin was thinking, "The point difference is getting bigger and bigger, can we still catch up? I just hope that the loss will not be too ugly in the end..."

In fact, Coach Tyrone Corbin's mind is no longer on this game. He is already thinking about what to do in the next game, but his thoughts are not exposed to his players. If he gives up the game , then the players are not to mention.

During this timeout, the Lakers replaced Lin Fengzhe, Li Yifeng and World Peace.Lin Fengzhe contributed two three-pointers as soon as he came on the court, pulling the score to 23 points.Then the Lakers started their own offense, hit a [-]-[-] spurt, and widened the point difference to [-] points in one fell swoop.Forced the Jazz to call a long timeout again.

By the end of the third quarter, the Jazz had trailed by 21 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers directly sent Josh McRoberts, Devin Ebanks, World Peace, Darius Morris and Steve Blake to let the rookies feel the excitement of the playoffs. Ambience up.

Perhaps it was because their own team had a big lead over their opponents. As rookies, Devin Ebanks and Darius Morris did not feel nervous at all and played very openly.

Seeing the Lakers lineup, the Jazz decisively dispatched their strongest offensive lineup and started chasing points.Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson and Devin Harris scored consecutively and quickly closed the gap to twelve points.

Subsequently, the Lakers sent Li Yifeng to stabilize the situation.The point difference has always hovered around twelve points.When the game was about to end in 3 minutes, the Jazz announced that they had given up the game and replaced the main players.
