The last moment

"The camera showed Li Chengming. He was resting off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He has now scored 43 points, which has broken his own personal scoring record and is also the highest score by a domestic player in the NBA. If there is another score in the fourth quarter,

If I play, I will hopefully break through to 50+, which is 50+ in the finals!"

The commentators are inevitably excited at this time. After all, records and high scores are the two most adrenaline-stimulating things in a basketball game.

And often, it's the same thing.

"The Magic still have the upper hand on the court now. Without Li Chengming on the court, Howard and Turkoglu also played well."

Director Zhang smiled and said: "The surprise today is Nelson. He has sent out 8 assists and not made a single mistake. Whether he is facing Fisher or Farmar, he can't stop his breakthrough.

He can rely on his teammates to help defend, and his distribution of the ball is also very good..."

Jordan Farmar was a rookie in 2006 and this is his second season.

He averaged 9.1 points per game in the regular season and was an important scoring guarantee on the bench for the Lakers. Some Lakers fans even believed that he should replace Lao Yu in the starting lineup.

However, entering the playoffs, both his scoring and shooting percentage dropped significantly. This three-pointer was okay, but he was beaten again on the defensive end.

The biggest advantage the Lakers have over the Magic should be on the back line, and most of this advantage is played by Kobe.

People like Fisher, Farmar, Vujacic and others can actually only make a slight contribution in shooting. If they can't make a shot, their defense will actually hinder them on the court.

In the end, the Lakers were forced to use the tactic of cutting Howard again. This tactic has been tried and tested, and it is also an important reason why Howard's performance was greatly disappointed in the hearts of the fans.

In the regular season, he was a first-team center and could even compete for the MVP. However, in the playoffs, his Achilles' heel was free throws, which was exploited by one team after another, and he often achieved certain results.

Even though Howard's free throws today were considered above average, he made four out of six free throws, but he couldn't withstand three consecutive three-pointers by the Lakers, completing the lead in the score.

Van Gundy had to call a timeout at this time, and the home fans temporarily stopped playing.

The situation of the game is really changing, and if you are not careful, it will have a chain reaction.

Sun Zhengping commented: "The Magic's two defensive retreats have caused problems, and the Lakers' choice is actually a bit risky. After all, they want three points rather than two points. But this is also their strategy for this game, and it can be regarded as their gamble.

Right."

Xu Jieri said: "It was another loss due to Howard's free throws, but his performance this time was not bad. No one expected the Lakers to be so accurate this time."

Now that Li Chengming is not present, everyone is more concerned about the outcome of the game.

Of course, we will also speculate whether Li Chengming will play.

In fact, at this time, many people felt that it might be a good idea to put Howard off the court for two minutes and let Li Chengming play hard.

Although the defense is definitely weakened, the offense is guaranteed, and by this time, the Lakers' offense has also been hindered.

The Lakers' first offensive option is still in the low post and at the basket. After all, three-pointers are not safe. The more critical the moment, the less they dare to try easily.

Even with Kobe's confidence, at this time, he would rather take a step forward and shoot a long two-pointer than easily try a three-point shot.

Unless there is a huge open opportunity, it feels like it would be a crime not to shoot.

Except for fast breaks, opportunities like falling into position are actually relatively rare. The Magic's pursuit and defense changes are in place in time, which can provide a certain degree of interference, which prevents them from taking action easily.

Opportunities at the basket are not that easy to come up. In this case, the killer move in the mid-range must still be used, because this is often a position that must be neglected in defense.

But neither Kobe nor Gasol made a mid-range shot. The two rushed into the paint too much today, and took turns fighting with Howard, Lee Cheng-ming, Lewis, and Gortat. Their physical exertion was huge, and they couldn't bear it at this time.

The Magic took advantage of this opportunity to overtake the score again, and then the scores of the two teams increased alternately, and there was almost no time when they could lead steadily for two rounds.

Often when we score, we score together, and when we strike, we strike together.

Isn't this a kind of "fluency"?

Van Gundy never found a chance to replace Li Chengming, and had to call a timeout with more than five minutes left.

At this time, the score on the court was 95:94. Thanks to Kobe's 2+1 after using a screen to break through, the Lakers temporarily took the lead by 1 point.

Kobe also scored 27 points in this game, but he made 8 of 20 shots and 1 of 4 three-pointers, which was quite satisfactory.

Gasol and Odom each scored 15 points. In the next three games, the Lakers' interior partnership was not inferior to the Magic's Howard + Lewis in terms of offense, and the defense was equally matched.

But because the Magic still had Li Chengming, they were evenly matched, so it was considered a failure.

This is despite frequently using Howard's free throws to contain the rhythm and mentality of Warcraft. Sometimes this can actually be counterproductive, because the Lakers themselves also need the rhythm of the game. If the game is intermittent, it is not always a good thing for them.

"Li Chengming is back on the court. There are still more than five minutes of game time. It will be very exciting for him to score 50 points. Of course, it depends on the defensive situation of the Lakers, but I think if they want

If you want to win the game, you still need to change your defensive strategy as much as possible at this time. After all, if Li Chengming can continue to score goals, the pressure on them will be particularly great at this time..."

"But the condition of the rest of the Magic team today is actually not bad. The two teams played very close today. That is to say, Li Chengming's personal condition is particularly good, and it seems that the others are average."

"Haha, I think at this point, it is better to continue to persevere. Rather than changing the defense, it is better to believe in your own offense. The Lakers are not in bad shape in this game, and they can still compete with the Magic a little bit.

"

"Beep!"

The timeout ended and the game restarted. Li Chengming naturally returned to the court, and both sides also put on their winning lineups.

The Magic's offense came up, and Kobe began to lead the defense. The Black Mamba's eyes became bloodthirsty and dangerous, but his eyes alone could not steal the ball from the Magic.

Li Chengming also helped to make a cover and took him away. As a result, Stegru immediately fell into the position of Li Chengming. At this time, Li Chengming just faced Kobe.

King to King!

There are many opportunities for the two people in this series. Generally speaking, both of them have suffered losses and they have cheaper. After all, strictly speaking, it is a inside line and an outer rays.

Then, then

To put it plainly, this time must be the active right to compare as an offensive party.

Kobe has to defend Li Chengming at a low position. He must not do it alone. In this case, the Lakers have to be pinched, but only Gasol can come to help on this side.

As a result, Howard did a cover of Tacorru, and the Turks ran out of the three -point line on one side, which instantly attracted the attention of the two, but Li Chengming gave the ball to Howard.

The Lakers' penalty area was almost empty. This time, there was no chance to foul the other party. Howard easily took two points and took two points.
