Chapter 152, Zhou Hang's Defense!
The Celtics and the Eagles have reached the seventh game, and the two teams have a 3-3 tie. They will have a tiebreaker tomorrow.
No one would have thought that the Celtics, known as the biggest opponent of the Lakers, would encounter such a big trouble in the first round.
The fans at Staples Center continued to cheer.
Fans also feel that the Lakers are getting closer and closer to the championship. This year, Kobe has the helper he has always hoped for.
Gasol and Zhou Hang, the help of these two people, one inside and one outside, made the Lakers stronger than ever.
Post-match press release.
Sloan talked about the team's performance: "Our players tried their best. We tried to cause them some troubles on the defensive end, but unfortunately, we didn't succeed. They still scored easily. This is not our rhythm. We lost. The game didn’t surprise me either.”
The reporter asked: "How will you adjust in the next game to ensure the victory of the game?"
"I don't know," Sloan said frankly.
The current strength of the Lakers is obviously stronger than that of the Jazz. It is really too difficult for them to win.
Sloan is not satisfied with the performance of the Jazz, but what can be done if he is not satisfied?
There were not a few misjudgments, not too many controversial goals, but a complete defeat in terms of hard power.
Sloan really didn't know how to adjust next.
The Jazz coaching staff has to work overtime tonight.
Lakers side.
Zen master said to the reporter with a calm look: "We played at the level we should have, and everyone performed very well."
Then Zen master meaningfully praised Zhou Hang and Kobe, saying that they are the key to the Lakers' success.
After the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, the results of the other group's Western Conference semifinals were also announced.
马刺在客场以82比101的比分输给了新奥尔良黄蜂，克里斯保罗贡献17分13助攻4抢断的漂亮数据，大卫韦斯特拿到了30分9篮板。
Under Paul's tandem, five Hornets scored in double figures.
On the Spurs side, Duncan performed poorly, scoring only 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals.
The Hornets' insider Tyson Chandler restricted Duncan's performance very well, making Duncan quite uncomfortable.
No one thought that Tyson Chandler's inner line protection effect was so good.
In another Eastern Conference semifinal matchup, the Pistons beat the Orlando Magic 91-72.
These two teams fought hard to defend, and the tempo was quite slow.
Lewis, Howard and Turkoglu scored 18, 18 and 12 points respectively.
Apart from these three, no other Magic scored in double figures.
Under the leadership of former FMVP Billups, the Pistons recovered their iron-blooded defense and played their favorite rhythm.
The starting five of the Pistons all scored in double figures!
The other groups of games are all defensive, only the Lakers and the Jazz played against each other.
In this era, offense is more attractive than defense.
Zhou Hang's 40+ is also the best star personal data today.
As a matter of course, Zhou Hang topped the headlines.
"Playoff scoring king Zhou Hang continues to score points. "
"Jagged Jazz can't stop the five-star Lakers! "
"The Lakers battleship has set sail! "
"Zhou Hang's three-pointer is superb, and the Lakers system makes him feel like a fish in water. "
"Kobe got two powerful helpers, and he ushered in the opportunity to prove himself again. "
"Kobe hits his fourth championship! "
With the gradual deepening of the playoffs, Zhou Hang's performance is constantly conquering the fans who watch the game.
This game is not so magical, but it is a proof of Zhou Hang's stable performance.
In the first round, it can be said that the Nuggets had no defense, and Zhou Hang scored very high and brilliantly, but for the Jazz, it cannot be said that they had no defense. They are a team known for their defense.
But under Zhou Hang's outside firepower, the Jazz's defense became vulnerable.
In just one game, public opinion basically believes that the Jazz has no possibility of defeating the Lakers in the series.
Of course, for Zhou Hang himself, he will not go to see how high the winning percentage of the Lakers is predicted by the outside world.
We have only played the first game of the playoffs, and it is very important to never underestimate the opponent.
The strength of the Celtics and Eagles next door is not the root cause of the tiebreaker.
The Celtics won the first two games too easily, which caused them to relax after the start of G3. In the end, the Eagles showed their momentum and pulled back the big score.
Zhou Hang is now wary of the lesson of the Celtics.
Of course, Zhou Hang maintained self-confidence while being vigilant.
Zhou Hang has experienced a season of training, he knows how strong he is now.
He is now at the level of a superstar, but he has always been considered a role player.
This will make the outside world often think that he is playing beyond the level.
The Jazz's defense is indeed good, but it is not enough for Zhou Hang.
The existence of the Lakers Kobe, Gasol and others prevents the Jazz from maintaining more targeted defense against Zhou Hang, which makes Zhou Hang's offense look very strong.
Another reason for Zhou Hang's self-confidence is the improvement of his defensive ability.
Although Deron, who played against Zhou Hang, had great personal data, most of the points were not obtained against Zhou Hang, but were obtained by using the dislocation after the pick-and-roll to hit the big man.
Delong didn't dare to play Zhou Hang in singles, and Zhou Hang also cut off the connection between Delong and his teammates to a certain extent.
The assist does not mean that Zhou Hang did not do a good job in defending the pass.
This is also the reason why even though Deron got 30+10 data, there was no voice criticizing Zhou Hang for his poor defense.
Not only is Deron not good at singles against Zhou Hang, but even Boozer's dislocation is not good for Zhou Hang, which leads to Deron often needing to attack by himself.
Jazz fans can see that Boozer will struggle when facing Zhou Hang.
This is also an aspect that bothers Sloan.
After the pick-and-roll, Boozer couldn't take advantage of Zhou Hang's misplacement, which caused the Jazz's offense to be cut off to a certain extent.
This made it impossible for them to immediately respond to the Lakers' offense.
At the end of G1, one day later.
The G2 game started again at the Staples Arena.
Two commentators from TNT came to the scene to explain.
Barkley resisted the noise of the scene and said: "The Lakers won the last game too easily. Zhou Hang showed his prowess on both ends of the offense and defense. He will often replace Kobe as the Lakers' first tactical offensive choice."
Smith said: "Yes, the arrival of Zhou Hang has shared Kobe's pressure, and Kobe's efficiency on the outside has also improved. This is a good thing for the Lakers. Their overall offense has become very scary."
Barkley said: "Deron needs to drive the Jazz team together, and can't keep scoring by himself. In this case, his statistics are good, but the Jazz can't win a game."
Smith said: "Yes, if there is no improvement in the situation in this game, there will not be much suspense in this round of the series."
CCTV over there.
Zhang Weiping said: "Zhou Hang's performance is becoming more and more important to the Lakers, and he is becoming an indispensable part of the Lakers."
Xu Jicheng said: "The time for the BJ Olympics is getting closer and closer, Zhou Hang must maintain his state."
