Thanos

Just do it
D'Antoni's timeout didn't have the effect it should have.

After returning from the timeout, Kobe also played again. The Lakers bombarded and quickly expanded the score to double digits.

"It looks like the Lakers are more likely to win tonight!"

Cole had made several misjudgments before, endured it for a long time, and finally spoke cautiously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Marion hit a three-pointer, which was also the first three-pointer made by the Suns besides Nash, and the point difference returned to single digits again.

Cole couldn't help wiping the sweat from his brow.

And this is just the beginning.

Marion suddenly descended from the sky, showing dominance on both offensive and defensive ends, helping Stoudemire and Nash chase points little by little.

Halftime is over.

60:61, the Lakers fell behind by 1 point instead.

It has to be said that the three main players of the Suns are really powerful, relying on the personal abilities of the three to overtake the score abruptly.

At halftime, the Lakers retreated to the locker room.

In the locker room, the atmosphere was a little dull.

With many opponents' role players performing poorly, the Lakers expanded their score to double digits twice, and were caught up twice, and even overtaken, which is still a bit shocking.

And in the face of this situation, coach Frank, who is not capable enough, doesn't have much to do.

Fortunately, the Lakers still have Kobe.

Black Mamba never give up!
Kobe got everyone together and started analyzing the game.

"Don't just look at the opponent's strengths, but also look at the opponent's weaknesses. We just have to focus on the opponent's weaknesses."

"Johnson and Richardson have poor hands. We can let them go more and focus more on defending the other three."

"The main tactic of the Suns is the pick-and-roll. Ye, you and I need to put in more effort. The two wings must do a good job of delaying the pick-and-roll to give teammates a chance to adjust their defense."

"Come on, the Lakers are always the one to win!"

At the same time, the commentary booth was also chatting about the game.

Because Cole kept making wrong judgments in the first half, Barkley and Smith kept wiping his ass, and the commentary was not in place.

The three of them are making up for it at the moment, and will analyze the situation in the first half for everyone.

I have to say that Barkley and Smith are very interesting. Cole, a newcomer in the commentary world, has made so many mistakes, and the two are not bored at all, but have been helping.

As for the content of the commentary, it is not too different from what Kobe said in the locker room.

Everyone is an old player with strong analytical skills, and can see the essence of the game at a glance.

In just a few words, the three of them analyzed the first half clearly.

There is still more time, so it's time to brag.

"Kenny, do you like purple or red, I'm going to make you a dress."

Barkley joked, suddenly attracted the attention of countless fans.

Kenny, a big black man wearing a skirt, the picture is not too "beautiful"!
Smith snorted coldly: "The game is not over yet, and it's not certain who will win."

"is it?"

Barkley is very confident: "Let's look at Ye Heping's halftime statistics, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Well, very versatile and beautiful statistics, but to score 20 points, he may have to work harder. According to his rhythm, the whole game is 10 points!"

"Of course, if it's the great Sir Charles, scoring 15 points is like cutting melons and vegetables."

Kenny Smith really regrets accepting Cole's bet.

Thinking of wearing a skirt, no!Smith couldn't imagine the scene at all.

He is indeed very optimistic about Ye Heping, but Ye Heping is an all-round fighter, who can attack and defend in one piece, and can do everything, but he is not so strong in scoring.

It is really difficult for Ye Heping to score 20 points.

The difficulty lies not in Ye Heping's ability, but in Ye Heping's personal consciousness.

He always wants to win when he plays, as long as he can help the team, it doesn't matter whether he scores by himself or helps his teammates score.

So it is indeed difficult for Ye Heping to get a high score, and he himself has no such idea at all.

If Ye Heping knew about this bet, he might consciously score more points, but Ye Heping didn't know anything about it.

Back in the second half, Ye Heping still prefers to assist the right teammates rather than score by himself.

Kenny Smith watched anxiously, wishing he could go down to remind him, and pulled Ye Heping by the ear to force him to score.

On the court, the situation changed suddenly.

The Suns feel bad, relying on the three main players to maintain.

Kobe's midfielder's analysis in the locker room is also in place, which limits the Sun's offense to a certain extent.

But the problem is that the Lakers' own touch has begun to decline.

"The disadvantages of the seven rounds of fierce battles have begun to appear!"

The sharp-eyed Barkley said.

This kind of thing cannot be avoided.

The Lakers encountered the Mavericks, a strong team at the championship level, in the first round, and were even forced to a 0:2, 1:3 desperate situation.

For example, the old Grant just fought until he was injured.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The Lakers have maintained their competitive state by playing games all the time, but their physical condition is a bit bad.

The offense of the two teams is not good, but the Suns can still squeeze out toothpaste, but the Lakers are in a scoring shortage.

Slowly, the gap widened.

Halfway through the third quarter, 62:69, the Suns led by 7 points.

The Lakers didn't score a point for as long as 5 minutes.

If his teammates don't perform well, the Suns can double-team Kobe unscrupulously, and Kobe is constantly hitting the iron in the face of high-intensity double-teaming.

The scene seems to be back to the first-round matchup, and the Lakers need someone to stand up and share the pressure for Kobe.

Odom tried twice, but couldn't score either.

Odom is very good, but he lacks the desire to win, which is why he has such a good talent, but he has always been the second master.

At the critical moment, Ye Heping took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Ye Heping didn't know if he could do it, but no one else could do it except him.

Why do you still think so much at this time, just do it!
Ye Heping held the ball in the frontcourt, and Qiao defended very tightly in singles, giving enough pressure.

Ye Heping was not in a hurry, and called Kobe to the three-point line for a pick-and-roll.

After all, Jim Jackson is 35 years old. He is old, his footsteps are slow, and he can't change defenses fast enough. Ye Heping got a short shot space.

Without even thinking about it, Ye Heping stood behind Kobe and pulled up to shoot.

When Jim Jackson rushed over, Ye Heping had already completed his shot, which was equivalent to an open shot.

The ball crossed a beautiful parabola, and then pierced through the heart with an arrow.

Swish!
65: 69.

The point difference narrowed to 4 points, and Ye Heping's personal score also reached 8 points, but it was far from 20 points.
