Chapter 756. 756. The Lakers' Ultimate Move



Chapter 756. 756. The Lakers' Ultimate Move

If one day he writes a memoir, Lin Feng will probably spend a lot of ink on this game.

Denver is more agreeable than the metropolis, and they don't have LeBron, Stephen Curry, or Giannis.

But fans here will proudly call out players like Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap, Gary Harris, Torrey Craig.

Compared to their opponent Thunder in the last round, they are more like a group of well-behaved boys.

But it was such a group of guys who caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers during the game.

When the Lakers players appeared at the Pepsi Center in Denver, they did not receive boos like they did with the Thunder. Instead, there were many fans of LeBron and Raymond Lin.

The DJ called out "LeBron James" and the crowd started cheering, even louder than their own players.

Playing in this atmosphere does not mean that you can relax your vigilance, but it feels like boiling a frog in warm water.

After the opening, Lao Zhan scored a three-pointer, and then Jamal Murray fought back.

The Nuggets' "Mr. 3000 Million" Millsap is overwhelmed in the interior. He is very big, and it is a headache for Howard to go left and right with Jokic.

Fortunately, Yingge is still in good condition for the Lakers, and responded with consecutive scoring.

Howard's appearance in the starting lineup did put some pressure on Jokic, but the Serbian's soft touch allowed him to score frequently.

Lin Feng appeared at the end of the quarter, and it is a good choice for a speedy guard like him to pull Jokic to the outside for a single burst.

It can not only consume the opponent's physical energy, but also cause considerable damage.

But coach Mike Malone will not easily let Walton's wishful thinking succeed. He sent Craig to defend Lin Feng alone, and others to assist in defense.

This method shows a deterrent effect. Lin Feng's biggest feeling is that the Nuggets players can run very well and run all over the court.

This made the Lakers' bench lineup feel full of oppression, and Lin Feng only scored two points through jump shots.

After the first quarter, the two teams tied at 32, with each other attacking and defending.

老詹8分1板5助攻,莺歌10分,霍华德也在篮下拿到8分。

For the Nuggets, Murray had 10 points, Jokic had 9 points, and Millsap had 10 points. The three teamed up to take on the team's offense.

The rhythm is completely different from that of the Thunder. Craig gave up his offense and ran with Lin Feng throughout the game. He played the entire first quarter, and he still looked energetic at the end of the break.

"Keep our own rhythm, they can't be like this the whole game."

Walton made tactical arrangements for the second quarter. He decided to put on a full bench lineup at the beginning and let Lin Feng lead the Los Angeles brothers to open up the situation.

Zubac made two mistakes in the 2 minutes he played, and his high pick-and-roll effect was mediocre, which caused Lin Feng to be double-teamed several times.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Feng assisted Hart to make a three-pointer.

Kuzma relied on his personal athletic talent to continuously attack the opponent's position, and Lin Feng also frequently hit the outside line.

In 4 minutes, the Lakers played a 14-6 spurt to overtake the score, and the Nuggets had to call a timeout for adjustment.

The offensive efficiency of the Lakers' bench lineup ranks first in the league, and the Nuggets are also good, ranking among the top eight.

After a timeout, Will Barton led the team close to the score. The Lakers suddenly lost power. The opponent showed the sophistication of a young team. The Lakers only relied on Lin Feng to maintain the score.

54-57, the Nuggets had overtaken the score at halftime.

Lin Feng's 10 points in a single quarter did not help the team, but the Nuggets played team basketball.

Coach Mike Malone did a good job of cutting the connection between Lin Feng and his teammates, and that middle-aged man is very good at doing this.

Donovan Mitchell went through the same thing after knocking out the Jazz in the first round.

Craig averaged 2.2 points and 5 fouls per game, but he successfully guarded Mitchell.Coupled with the fact that Jokic crushed Gobert on the inside, the Jazz lost the first round of the series.

Now the same situation is in front of Lin Feng, but they need to do more when facing the Lakers, because there are too many people in the Zijin Army who can stand up and score.

The best way to break double-teams is always to shoot quickly, and the success rate of one-on-two will never be higher than that of open shots.

Michael Jordan back then set a good example for younger generations.

Lin Feng also has his own countermeasures, he will dribble towards the double-team players to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Because the double-team player is moving, it is difficult to readjust his footsteps to keep up with Lin Feng's speed, and then he can use his personal ability to complete the breakthrough.

"I'm going to punish their play, when two guys guard me, the guy in the open is ready to shoot, and I'm going to find a way to get the ball through."

In the locker room, Lin Feng stood in the center of the crowd, like a leader.

Lao Zhan is willing to see young people stand up and lead the team, which will allow him to focus on doing his own things.

Easy side to fight again, the two teams continued to bite the score.

The Nuggets rained three-pointers on the outside, and a wave of 8-0 put the Lakers in trouble.

LeBron and Lin Feng were on the court at the same time, and the two teamed up to control the situation, using high pick-and-rolls to bite back the point difference.

Lakers fans were pleasantly surprised to find their team employing a play that hadn't been common before.

That is, Lao Zhan and Lin Feng pull the two cores to the high position to do the pick-and-roll. Whether it is Lin Feng breaking through or Lao Zhan receiving the ball and handling it himself, the effect is much better.

Before, the two led the team to start and substitute respectively, and there was not much overlapping playing time.

Not long after the third quarter, Wharton let Lin Feng appear on the stage, and the cooperation with Lao Zhan showed its power.

Coupled with the support of Yingge, Pope and others, this made the Nuggets afraid to go up and double-team easily.

This is also the big killer between the Warriors Curry and Durant.

Super small forward plus super point guard has always been a trick in the playoffs, just like LeBron and Irving back then.

At that moment, Lao Zhan felt like returning to the Cavaliers. Today, Lin Feng's breakthrough ability with the ball is no less than that of Irving, and even better than Irving in some aspects.

With a successful high-position goal, a flash of smile appeared on Lao Zhan's face.

Lin Feng ran back to the half court to prepare to defend. He was standing a few meters away from the oblique side of Lao Zhan. This scene made the fans see the "Zhan-Ou combination" that overturned the 73-win Warriors back then.

In Cleveland, many locals are James fans. They sat in front of the TV devoutly and watched the game, as if the Los Angeles Lakers were their home team.

When the familiar scene happened again, those Cleveland guys were speechless.

Perhaps if it weren't for Irving's obsession, they could still continue the sweet time of the Cavaliers.Only now, the Cavaliers team that reached the finals for four consecutive years has become history.

Denver Pepsi Center, the Lakers gradually found a familiar offensive rhythm.

Jokic was overwhelmed by the basket. Although he had sent three blocked shots, he was also fouled twice by Lin Feng's sharp breakthrough.

With four fouls on his back, Jokic, who opened and closed in the first two quarters, had to rest.

This period was an excellent opportunity for the Lakers to expand their lead. Like a lion staring at its prey, Lin Feng was crawling in the halfcourt, ready to rush up and bite his opponent at any time.
