NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

But Leonard's physical strength on the offensive end is prone to problems.

Fortunately, Paojiao felt good in the second quarter and made several consecutive shots, keeping the Clippers ahead.

The situation is developing as Xu Feng expected. The Lakers are behind, but not by much.

This suspense can be maintained until the fourth quarter.

The Lakers have a championship team, and they tend to perform more prominently at critical moments.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 56:51, and the Clippers led by 5 points.

Half of the Staples Arena are Lakers fans, but they also respect the Clippers, and they didn't show the kind of undercover or defection.

When the players on both sides hit a good ball, they will also applaud and applaud.

……

In the TNNT live broadcast room, O'Neill and Barkley quarreled again.

"I didn't say that Xu Feng didn't use his full strength today. He obviously wanted to let it go." O'Neill likes to go to extremes.

Barkley was also blowing Xu, but he couldn't stand being blown by O'Neal.

"It is obvious that Leonard played better today, and Xu Feng is quite satisfactory."

"Leonard can't limit Xu Feng if he plays well. The Lakers may want to play a few more games, so Xu Feng let go." O'Neal said firmly.

"O'Neal, you're disrespectful to the Clippers for saying that!" Barkley retorted, shaking his head.

"There's no disrespect here, strength is there. There is only one way to gain respect, and that is to use your strength to defeat your opponent!"

"According to what you said, Leonard can't do it no matter how he fights. If he wins, Xu Feng will let him go, and if he loses, it's even worse."

"Hey, you can't say that, but at present, Xu Feng is indeed a step ahead of Leonard, you have to admit it."

"Admit it, but it doesn't mean you have to win every game if you are in a higher gear. Back then, Jordan won the finals six times. Wasn't it 4-0 every time?"

Barkley's debating ability is still very strong, and O'Neal was speechless.

Smith couldn't help laughing and said: "You two, you can quarrel about anything. Let me be fair. Leonard must have performed better today, but it's true that Xu Feng didn't give his best. Yeah, let's see the second half."

O'Neill and Barkley felt that what Smith said made sense.

……

After the start of the second half, the Clippers remained strong, and the Lakers were more focused than in the first half.

Especially Westbrook, he didn't make many breakthroughs in the first half, mainly defending and covering for his teammates.

In the second half, he suddenly strengthened his breakthrough, which made the Clippers very uncomfortable.

This is what Xu Feng told Westbrook before the game.

Because today is an away game, the referee's scale will be biased, so if you break through at the beginning, you may be called an offensive foul and increase your turnovers.

In this case, the Lakers will lose a lot.

So he let Westbrook stop playing in the first half to minimize the number of fouls.

Westbrook only made one foul in the first half, which was good, and he could break through in the second half.

Westbrook's breakthrough did cause a lot of trouble for the Clippers. Since the referee favored the Clippers in the first half, he found a balance in the second half and played loose.

This is the experience Xu Feng has experienced in many playoffs and so many finals.

The background of a champion is often the mentality of being able to calmly face various situations.

Westbrook frequently hit the inside of the Clippers, or a zombie jumper, or passed the ball to Kuzma in the bottom corner, or passed it back to Xu Feng.

His offensive point is opened, and the entire Lakers' offensive is up.

Xu Feng had three fouls in the first half, so he could only temporarily choose to be invisible and hand over the ball to Westbrook.

The Lakers slowly caught up to the score. At 6 minutes and 24 seconds into the third quarter, the score of the two sides was 73:71, and the Clippers led by 2 points.

What Xu Feng wants is this situation. As long as he persists until the first half of the fourth quarter, and the point difference does not exceed 5 points, he can finally make a wave.

After all, Leonard is not James, and the referee will not be too biased.

In the end, the game is left to the players.

Xu Feng did not get a foul in the third quarter, which was the greatest success.

Leonard and Paojiao were also very smart. They guessed Xu Feng's thoughts and knew that Xu Feng was afraid of fouls, so they played a little negatively.

So the two deliberately picked Xu Feng to fight, hoping to make Xu Feng foul a few more times.

But the Lakers' overall defensive strategy is very complete and brilliant.

The teammates will replace Xu Feng as much as possible to protect him and prevent him from the risk of fouling.

A mature defensive system is just like this. With the ever-changing situation on the field, make the best response.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 86:90, and the Lakers trailed by 4 points.

But Xu Feng was very happy, because in this quarter, he did not receive a foul.

Kuzma, Ellington, McGee, Lin Shuhao, kicked Xu Feng and received several fouls.

Being able to keep the main player on the court is the greatest success, and the Lakers have the hope of a comeback.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Feng rested off the court and played as a substitute.

The Lakers' bench is still strong, but the Clippers suddenly replaced Pickle on the court and asked him to play with the bench.

Rivers is also very cunning, he doesn't want the Lakers to catch up with the score.

Pickle played a wave with the substitute, and the point difference widened to 9 points.

Seeing that the situation was not good, D'Antoni quickly replaced Xu Feng and other main players in advance.

With 8 minutes left in the game, the score difference was 9 points.

Xu Feng decided to fight to the end. If he wins, the big score will be 3:0, and the series will be basically won.

Even if you lose, it doesn't matter.

All the main players of the Lakers are on the stage.

In terms of physical strength, the Lakers have the advantage, because in the first three quarters, in order to keep Xu Feng and Westbrook from getting into foul trouble, they rotated a lot, and Xu Feng and Westbrook both played about 22 minutes on the court.

The two sides make the final battle.

As soon as Leonard came on the court, he went to the inside and dunked and scored, showing his determination to win.

The point difference widened to 11 points, and there was an additional penalty.

Leonard made a steady penalty with a 12-point difference.

Xu Feng signaled his teammates not to panic, but to chase slowly.

After halftime, Westbrook, with Xu Feng's cover, reached the penalty area and made a zombie jump shot.

Because of Westbrook's excellent physical fitness, coupled with the fact that the timing of his shots is difficult to predict, his zombie jump shots are difficult to prevent.

Whether he can get in or not depends entirely on how he feels.

And for Westbrook this season, his shooting percentage in this position is too high.

brush!
Sure enough, it hit.

Moreover, the pickled pepper hit Westbrook because of his excessive pounce, and the referee blew a 2+1 after the whistle was blown!

This goal announced the beginning of the Lakers' counterattack!
Westbrook made an extra penalty!

92:101, the point difference is still 9 points, the Clippers lead.

The Clippers attacked, Leonard dribbled the ball across half court, borrowed the cover of his teammates, and wanted to get to the inside, but Xu Feng had already blocked him.

Xu Feng had three fouls, so he was not afraid.

Leonard rushed from left to right, but couldn't get rid of Xu Feng's defense.

There were only more than 6 seconds left in the attack time. In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Reggie on the right.
