NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

However, throughout the third quarter, the Lakers have shown their strongest offensive stance, and have never caught up with the score, nor have they pulled the score too far.

But not catching up with the score is definitely bad news for the Lakers. People who know a little about basketball also understand the performance of Dayao and Kobe just now.

In the third quarter, the two of them didn't have much rest. After playing the entire third quarter, the score was still behind, which means that the two of them must continue to appear in the fourth quarter.

In this case, someone must stand up to help the Lakers make up for their lack of offensive firepower.

But who is this person "Three One Zero"? Judging from the current situation, there is really no one who can replace Kobe and Dayao to help him share the burden.

In addition to Kobe Bryant and Dayao, the best player in this game was Lamar Odom, who only scored 10 points.

Artest scored 8 points, but he has already committed 4 fouls.

So compared to defense, what the Lakers lack most now is offensive players.

Only when the real x factor stands out, the Lakers have the ability to tie the game and even complete the miracle of overtaking.

It is impossible to count on Bryant to perform exceptionally in every game. After all, he is 33 years old.

Throughout the third quarter, Lin Lei also watched the scene secretly in front of the TV, and Mian Rong became more and more serious.

Although in the process, the Lakers once chased down the score to three points, but Lin Lei's expression did not mean to relax at all.

As a Laker player, only Lin Lei knows best what the situation the Lakers are facing right now?

So now, we can only place our hopes on Kobe and Dayao, and hope that Artest and other players can suddenly get nervous and score a beautiful wave to win this game.

But there is one more thing to note, that is, Kobe has been carrying 4 fouls.

When Artest was defending in the last half of the 3rd quarter, his movements began to get bigger and bigger, and he even overturned the attacking Spurs players on the spot several times.

If it is placed in the regular season, his actions will definitely be called fouls, and there may even be targeted observations through video playback.

But the NBA is also very clear that now the Lakers can no longer lack any player, if Artest is blown a technical foul.

It is very likely that the next game will be directly suspended, which will undoubtedly make things worse for the Lakers. It is no exaggeration to say that the NBA league is already extrajudicial. This is something Artest must pay attention to.

Phil Jackson also knew this very well, and gave Artest a special exhortation to Artest during the rest of the third quarter, so that he must be careful and never make any reckless behavior.

During this process, Artest just nodded, did not make any criticism of the coach's words, saying that he would obey orders.

However, Lin Lei is still a little uneasy. He really knows Artest too well. Artest is the kind of player who can do anything once he is impulsive.

It is precisely because of his hot temper that no one dares to provoke the Lakers in the league, but emotions are a double-edged sword for a player.

Proper use can make players more effective and invincible.

Improperly used, it will make the already unclear situation even worse.

Looking at Artest on the court, Lin Lei also fell into contemplation for a while. Artest's eyes were all focused on Leonard on the Spurs side.

In the fourth quarter, Artest also tried to stand up to solve the current predicament for the team, but every time he got the ball, he would face Leonard's strict defense.

That's right, Leonard not only takes on the heavy responsibility of guarding Lin Lei, but can even guard Artest occasionally.

Leonard's arms are too long, and he has blocked Artest twice.

Because Artest himself made a lot of nonsense before the game, and every time he got the ball, he would be ridiculed by the audience.

Perhaps this is not a big deal in normal times, but in the battle of focus, Artest naturally hopes to conquer the fans at home through his pre-match performance.

In this case, instead of giving Artest a chance to prove himself, Leonard blocked him twice in the third quarter with 5.9, which also made Artest feel that he lost face.

So in the process of defending Leonard, Artest put up his elbows and looked aggressive.

Fortunately, the referee chose to turn a blind eye at a critical moment, otherwise Artest would have been sitting off the court by now.

After some exhortations, the game finally started. Phil Jackson no longer sat on the sidelines laughing at the situation like before, but kept coming to the inside of the stadium, and even couldn't help but exhort the players.

Seeing this picture, everyone has an idea in their hearts -- I'm afraid this game of the Lakers is a bit hanging.
