Chapter 147 Kobe's Choice
Kobe also worked hard to play team basketball in the first quarter. His high-scoring teams lost too many games. He didn't understand it, but if the game fell into anxiety, he would still choose the way he was most confident in solving.
But Howard was really hard to satisfy him. When he chose to pass, Howard didn't play well enough. Instead, Artest took advantage of the Nuggets' weak defense and hit two three-pointers.
It is rumored that Kobe called Howard soft, sometimes it is not incomprehensible.
Howard's attack range is not very large, and Xiang Chu's iron-blooded warrior's skills have greatly restricted him.
And after an injury, Howard sometimes feels powerless, and the current team does not play with him as the core, so it is difficult for him to fully grasp those few opportunities.
For the Nuggets, Xiang Chu played well. The important thing is that Iguodala performed well on the outside.
In fact, when the two sides competed for the main force, the Lakers still stabilized, but entered the rotation period, the Nuggets played better here, and Brewer, Miller Sr. and Mozgov all played well.
When the Lakers won the first game, it was not normal for their substitute players to perform so well. The normal situation is now that their substitute firepower is not very strong.
And D'Antoni didn't use Jamison very much this time. He always used speed and flowed outside offense to defeat the Nuggets.
They did hit a few [-]s, and D'Antoni was convinced his play was working.
The weak point of the Nuggets' defense is the three-point line. He still did research. If there is no Howard, he may use the current lineup better.
For many coaches, it is not that the more stars the better, they need players that fit their own system.
The Lakers can score fast with a small lineup, but their defense is even worse. You must know that the Nuggets can also be fast.
The rotation lineup kept the lead, and after Xiang Chu played again, he and Howard fought each other again.
Howard played more aggressively in this quarter, wanting to cause damage.
But to be honest, Xiang Chu can fight against him, and it is not difficult to control the foul.
It’s fine if you don’t reach out, as long as the score is not risky, most of Xiang Chu’s fouls are actually helping defense, and he is very rational in one-on-one.
However, the Lakers have also made changes. When their main players play again, their defensive strength has obviously increased a lot.
The Nuggets' outside line is inherently unstable, and the Lakers' intentional targeted shooting rate is appalling.
It is conceivable that when it comes to the intensity of the playoffs, the Nuggets' outside line will make people a little worried. They must have someone to stand up strongly, so that Xiang Chu will have room inside.
Compared with Ty Lawson, Xiang Chu is more optimistic about Gallinari, and if he has height, he will be more stable.
During this period of time, the combination of the two inside and outside is getting better and better, and has become a very threatening combination for the Nuggets on the offensive end.
There was no help on the outside, and Xiang Chu struggled on the inside.
The Lakers slowly caught up with the game, and Xiang Chu tried his best to ensure that the Nuggets did not fall behind at the end of the first half.
Although Howard didn't take many shots, he got a double-double in the first half. He and Xiang Chu both had good shooting percentages in the basket.
He communicated with the head coach before the game, he will not play less than Xiang Chu, he wants to fight.
He did show his determination on the court, but Xiang Chu also played well.
There are fewer rebounds. Howard is indeed a monster in some aspects, but Xiang Chu scored better. Howard's double-double score was just on the edge, scoring only 10 points, while Xiang Chu scored 17 points.
And Xiang Chu believes that his endurance will be better, and Howard's efficiency will decrease in the end of the battle.
"The Lakers are just paper tigers, we can completely kill them." During the intermission, Xiang Chu did not forget to cheer his teammates up.
The Lakers are now using several methods. The stars may not perform well when they gather together. As long as the Nuggets perform a little better outside, they can beat the Lakers again.
The Lakers are naturally dissatisfied with their performance, but they have Kobe, if the score is stalemate, they can use big moves at the end.
In the second half, Kobe will definitely play more selfishly, and everyone in the Lakers is also prepared.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe endured it, but when Xiang Chu and Gallinari quickly helped the Nuggets lead again, Kobe couldn't help it.
He hit a three-pointer, but then hit the iron a few times.
Relatively speaking, the Nuggets' offensive efficiency is higher. Although the Nuggets can play iron on the outside, they don't have the privilege of Kobe. If they don't feel good, they will let others play.
But the Lakers also bit the score until the last few minutes of the third quarter
The Lakers started to rotate, and Xiang Chu took the opportunity to attack the basket several times to help the team take the lead.
Warcraft played a lot of time this time, but they didn't completely rest with Xiang Chu. The playing time of the two did not overlap during the rotation period. When they were not in the same position, Xiang Chu was obviously more able to seize the opportunity.
Mozgov can also top it, but Gasol suffers at the basket.
Xiang Chu knows Gasol very well. He doesn't use any new methods or offensive skills when facing his former teammates. have no choice
When Xiang Chu started to rest in the fourth quarter, the Lakers also wanted to seize the opportunity to play a wave, but Howard was already a little tired at this time. He could grab rebounds, but his scoring was already a little weak.
Facing Xiang Chu is okay, but facing Mozgov can't score, Howard looks a little dull.
Kobe also talked more and directly took over the score.
At this time, the Lakers were already 9 points behind. When Xiang Chu played, the Nuggets still led by 7 points.
While Kobe scored, the Nuggets could also score.
After Xiang Chu came on the field, he and Kobe started a fight.
To be precise, Xiang Chu had the help of his teammates, Gallinari and Ty Lawson both hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers were completely played by Kobe.
Kobe played very hard, and the Nuggets could not stop him from scoring, but when the game entered the last 5 minutes, the score gap between the two sides was still 7 points, and the Nuggets were firmly ahead.
"Kobe made a difficult two-point shot...hit, and he scored in double figures in a single quarter."
"Iguodala made a mistake, Kobe hit again, and the Lakers were only 5 points behind."
"Oh, Xiang Chu hit, and Howard pushed him out with all his strength. Howard couldn't jump, and Xiang Chu shot in front of him."
"Howard wanted to hit a strong one. My God, Howard made a mistake. Xiang Chu took the ball from behind him. Xiang Chu's wingspan is very good."
"Time is running out, the Lakers have to hit a three, and Kobe hit it."
"Xiang Chu scored again, the Lakers are just that close, they have to defend... Oh, God, Kobe hit another three-pointer, the Lakers still have a chance."
