Chapter 130, Just Unstoppable!
As soon as the fourth quarter started, Zhou Hang's hand feeling declined, and he fell into a short-term slump.
Zhou Hang didn't use any cards with a touch bonus today, and the touch felt a little fluctuating.
Except for Zhou Hang, Odom also failed to open this point.
As a result, in the second team stage of the final quarter, the Nuggets quickly caught up with the score.
At 8 minutes and 11 seconds, the score of the two teams was 101 to 101.
Upon seeing this, the Zen master quickly called to stop the game.
Barkley shouted: "The main scoring point of the Lakers' second team is Zhou, but the Nuggets have done a good job of defending him. Neither JR nor Kleiza made any mistakes in the rotation. It caused interference, which also made Zhou fail to score three consecutive shots, let's see how he will adjust next."
Smith said: "The touch before Zhou was great. It's time to lower it. This is also a challenge for Zhou. Besides shooting, does he have other scoring methods?"
After returning from the timeout, Kobe and Gasol both came up.
The Zen master arranged a Kobe singles tactic.
Zhou Hang's condition has declined, Zen master will not put all the responsibility on him.
Lakers offense.
After Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he gave it to Gasol at the free throw line.
Gasol's support from the free throw line was given to Kobe in the low post on the right.
Bryant frowned a little. The Nuggets, who had been slack for the whole game, played very well defensively in this round.
Kobe didn't think about how to attack for a while.
Kobe hit Anthony with his back with the ball, and as soon as he let the ball go, the Nuggets' flanking attack arrived immediately.
The Nuggets really want to defend this round and regain their momentum.
When Kobe encountered a flank attack, he immediately gave the ball to Zhou Hang on the right.
Zhou Hang feinted immediately after receiving the ball, slightly deceiving JR's center of gravity, then quickly leaned over and sprinted to the right to pass JR, holding the ball and rushing to the free throw line.
Drop the tempo and collect the ball.
Zhou Hang seemed to be about to stop for a jump shot, Anthony gave up on Kobe and rushed over.
As soon as Anthony flew up, he realized that Zhou Hang's jump shot was a fake, but he couldn't control his body anymore.
Zhou Hang took the ball and leaned towards Anthony sideways.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
Zhou Hang took the initiative to foul Anthony.
The foul was so clean that Anthony shook his head helplessly after landing.
Barkley said with a smile: "There are other ways to score if you don't make a shot. He played too smart."
Smith said: "Yeah, drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line is the most consistent way to score."
After Zhou Hang fell to the ground, Kobe and Gasol quickly came to pull him up.
Kobe looked at Zhou Hang differently. During training, Zhou Hang took the initiative to discuss foul-making tactics with Kobe.
Kobe didn't take it seriously at the time, but Zhou Hang practiced a lot of these skills in a targeted manner.
Zhou Hang knew his own weakness. Even the peak Tangshen would sometimes be inaccurate in Waterloo. He just needed a way to score when he was inaccurate.
Getting to the free throw line is a great way to do that.
Zhou Hang made two free throws at the free throw line.
101:103.
The Lakers once again regained a two-point lead.
Nuggets offense.
Iverson dribbles to the frontcourt.
Iverson and Nene's pick and roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Iverson grounds the ball to Nene.
The pass was too obvious.
"Snapped!"
Kobe rushed out and intercepted the ball.
Kobe did not fully control the ball, he threw the ball to Zhou Hang when he was saving the ball at high speed.
Kobe fell to the ground in the audience.
Bryant's save had fans at Staples Arena cheering.
The Lakers players are also full of fighting spirit.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball for halftime, and then waited for Kobe to arrive.
Zhou Hang continued to give the ball to Kobe.
Bryant presses the clock on the right side.
Gasol puts up the screen and Zhou Hang runs to the left.
Bryant rushed in with the help of Gasol's cover, and Bryant hit the basket.
Kobe's impact attracted the Nuggets' defensive attention, and Zhou Hang was empty in the left corner.
Kobe passed the ball, but there was no one two meters in front of Zhou Hang to catch the ball.
This was an absolute gap, Zhou Hang didn't make a shot immediately, but made some adjustments, then kicked off the ground and pulled the ball to make a shot.
Textbook-like shooting posture.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Shh!"
101:106.
After a simple adjustment, Zhou Hang finally threw the ball in.
This kind of opportunity is very sure for Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang raised his shooting hand for a while, then threw his fist in celebration.
"Nice job."
"That's how you vote."
Fans at the Staples Center cheered for Zhou Hang.
Kobe also said to Zhou Hang: "As long as you have the opportunity to vote, don't worry about not being able to make the shot."
Zhou Hang nodded.
Even if Kobe didn't say anything, Zhou Hang would still do the same. Zhou Hang has always been very confident in his touch.
Even if he fails to make the first 10 shots, if there is an open opportunity, he will still make the 11th resolute shot.
This three-pointer also boosted Zhou Hang's confidence.
The Nuggets' offense continued to miss, and Anthony hit the basket with an open three-pointer.
Anthony's poor form today also put pressure on the Lakers to defend him.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Kobe didn't ask for the ball this time, but Zhou Hang continued to direct the singles.
It was Kleiza who defended Zhou Hang.
Keleiza kept looking at Zhou Hang, this rookie made Keleiza feel a lot of pressure.
Kleiza didn't know why after entering the last quarter, Kobe didn't attack much, and it was Zhou Hang who was attacking.
Seeing that there was a singles opportunity, Zhou Hang dribbled the ball under the crotch facing Kleiza.
"boom!"
"boom!"
After the continuous crotch, Zhou Hang broke into Kleiza's right side.
Kleiza was wary that Zhou Hang's three-pointer could not keep up with Zhou Hang's breakthrough.
Zhou Hang got rid of Kleiza in one burst.
Nei Nei from the oblique side came to help defend, and Zhou Hang threw the ball high.
to whom?
Gasol, who went down the middle, jumped high, caught the lob given by Zhou Hang with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket through Iverson who ran to the three-second zone! !
"frame!!!"
Gasol's one-handed frame! !
101 is better than 108
This empty catch instantly made the scene cheer! !
"Damn it, Zhou Hang connected with Gasol."
"Awesome!!"
"Just do it, nice alley-oop."
After landing, Gasol gave Zhou Hang a high-five to celebrate.
The Lakers have always taken the initiative in the next game.
Zhou Hang only exists as a checkpoint most of the time.
The Nuggets kept trying to chase points, but they were unsuccessful.
Kobe and Gasol have worked hard one after another, constantly suppressing the Nuggets' momentum of chasing points.
The game quickly reached 1 minute and 57 seconds.
At this time the score was 121 to 127, and the Lakers had a 6-point lead.
Lakers timeout.
George Karl shouted at the players around him: "On the offensive end, you can ask for three points, catch up with the score as soon as possible, and don't let them continue to score when defending."
George Karl can feel that this game is dangerous. If the situation continues like this, the game will be lost in the end.
The Nuggets players were all sweating and panting.
The Lakers' offense is stronger than they thought.
The pressure brought by Zhou Hang and Kobe on the perimeter caused headaches for the Nuggets.
If you defend Kobe, you can't guard Zhou Hang, and if you defend Zhou Hang, you can't guard Kobe.
The Nuggets themselves are not a team that is good at defense, and until now, they have not found a suitable defensive method.
