The Nuggets attack, Iverson breaks through and fouls Bynum again.
Bynum committed three offenses.
This is a hidden danger. The Lakers need Bynum in rebounding. Without him, they will be at a disadvantage.
Taking advantage of Camby's absence, Jackson replaced Bynum for critical moments.
But George Karl's level was no lower than Jackson's, so he immediately replaced Camby in an attempt to further expand his inside advantage.
Then Jackson replaced Kobe, trying to offset the weakness inside with a stronger offense.
George Karl's response was to replace Anthony and strengthen the offense.
The two teams turned into a main showdown again.
Anthony asked for the ball under the basket, pushed Zhang Zhiyuan, then turned around and scored a layup.
Zhang Zhiyuan has no choice but to limit Anthony's efficiency and cannot prevent death.
43 to 48, the Nuggets still have a 5-point lead.
During the transition between offense and defense, Kobe attacked hard, but Najera couldn't withstand it.
Smith ran to help defend, and Anthony could only make up for Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball and got rid of Anthony.
Kobe passed the ball in time, Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and scored.
46 to 48.
Before they knew it, the Lakers had almost erased the 14-point difference.
The Nuggets players became a little anxious, and Iverson walked when his breakthrough was blocked.
But the referee didn't call it.
The Nuggets had just taken the lead, and the referee's decision was a little more fair.
Now that the Nuggets are about to catch up and take the lead again, the referee is showing some favoritism.
Some of them are intentional, and some are even unintentional, similar to the instinct to sympathize with the weak.
Iverson was a little surprised, but also a little lucky.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he broke through again and scored a layup.
Jackson on the sidelines did not meditate anymore, but protested to the referee, saying that Iverson was walking.
The fans at the scene shouted loudly and seemed to want to use noise to disrupt Jackson's protest.
The referee did not stop the game and Jackson's protest was ineffective.
Lakers offense.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, and Anthony chose to switch defenses with Martin. He went inside and let Martin chase.
Anthony has enough strength to defend Odom, but it is a bit difficult for Martin to chase Zhang Zhiyuan. His speed is far inferior to Zhang Zhiyuan.
As a result, Zhang Zhiyuan once again got the chance to shoot, and he shot a three-pointer.
The ball goes in.
49 to 50, the point difference is only one point.
During the transition between offense and defense, Iverson broke through and Fisher kept harassing and confronting.
It's a pity that it's useless, Iverson is too flexible.
When he started, Fisher was thrown away again.
However, Iverson was intercepted after rushing to the inside. His actions were already expected by the Lakers players.
Iverson forced the ball to the basket, but the ball missed.
The Lakers' opportunity has come.
Kobe caught the ball and took a fadeaway shot and scored.
51 to 50.
The Nuggets counterattacked again, and the fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh.
Although they are not far behind, they no longer have confidence.
The Nuggets players are similar. From leading by 14 points to falling behind, the psychological gap is quite large.
The two sides fought for a few more rounds, and the Lakers began to gain a solid advantage.
At the end of the first half, the score was 60 to 55. The Lakers led by 5 points and beat the Nuggets by 19 points in a single quarter.
At halftime, Iverson did no more to boost morale.
In his opinion, these teammates of his are hopeless.
Even though we were only 5 points behind, everyone felt like they had already lost.
Suddenly, Iverson began to think about his future.
After playing in the league for 12 years, he has won the scoring title, MVP, All-NBA team, and All-Star starter. He has won almost all the honors he deserves and has made a lot of money. The only thing he lacks is a championship.
Therefore, his biggest wish now is to win a championship.
In the Nuggets, this is obviously impossible.
Where to go?
Iverson was confused.
Halftime is over and the second half begins.
tnt.
Smith said: "The game continues, I hope the Nuggets can create some miracles in the second half."
"This is impossible."
Barkley continued to speak out.
When the Nuggets fans heard what he said, they wanted to tear his mouth apart.
On the court, the Nuggets attack first.
Anthony came up and threw a three-pointer.
The ball went in.
Anthony couldn't help but smile. He just wanted to save some energy and complete the attack in the easiest way. Who would have thought that he could make the shot.
"Cameron, Cameron."
The fans at the scene cheered for a while, as if they saw hope again.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan assisted Odom to score, which was like a bucket of cold water poured on the Nuggets fans.
Only a few Nuggets fans will console themselves with 3 points more than 2 points.
Any sane fan knows that the Lakers throw more three-pointers than the Nuggets.
The Nuggets attack, and Anthony also wants to try to throw a three-pointer.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not defend himself, but stretched out his hand symbolically.
He doesn't believe that Anthony can kill himself with a three-pointer now.
Sure enough, given the same good opportunity, Anthony struck gold.
The Lakers counterattacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan showed Anthony a textbook three-point shot.
The ball goes in.
65 to 58, the point difference is widening.
When the Nuggets attacked, Iverson still played the way he was good at. He broke into the basket and caused Bynum to foul. Bynum had already committed four fouls.
Jackson did not replace him. The team was leading anyway and could take more risks.
In transition between offense and defense, Kobe made a jump shot.
Kobe shook his head secretly, very unhappy.
Although the team is leading, he knows that his contribution is not the biggest.
Nuggets offense.
It was Iverson who attacked just now, and this round it was Anthony's turn.
Their team's score depends on the two of them.
Anthony caught the ball, turned around, broke through, and then threw the ball into the net.
65 to 62, the point difference narrowed to 3 points again, and the Nuggets have hope again.
"The Nuggets played very tough."
Zhang Lili commented.
"After all, he is the lead singer and needs to be defended."
Sun Zhengping said.
Not long after they finished speaking, the Nuggets were playing three irons in a row.
On the other hand, the Lakers are still so stable and can almost tie the game at two in three rounds.
Slowly, the Lakers accumulated more and more advantages.
By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams had become 90 to 82, with the Lakers leading by 8 points.
In the last quarter, the Nuggets tried to counterattack, but after being tightly guarded by the Lakers for several rounds, the Nuggets' last bit of morale was exhausted.
At this point, the outcome is decided.
Iverson and Anthony haven't gotten off the court yet, and are still posting statistics on the court.
Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan are obviously happy to see this result, which gives them a reason to play on the court.
The four of them worked together for most of the quarter, and with 3 minutes left, the score difference was only 11 points.
At this time, Kleiza unexpectedly made a three-pointer.
115 to 107, the point difference was only 8 points, and the Nuggets still had a chance to win.
Now Anthony and Iverson have no reason to leave the game.
The Lakers attack and Kobe breaks through with the ball.
He thought the Nuggets were as lax on defense as before.
Little did they know that the Nuggets saw hope at this time, and their defense suddenly became much more active.
Smith defended, and Kleiza took the ball behind Kobe and completed the steal.
The Nuggets started a fast break, and Iverson took the lead and easily scored two points.
115 to 109.
Jackson quickly called a timeout: "Do you think you have won? Can you relax? This is the playoffs. Don't underestimate your opponent's determination. We cannot relax until the end of the game. If we don't change this mentality, we will be very
There is a possibility that the car will overturn..."
Jackson said a lot, but he could sum it up in one sentence: Be serious.
The two sides returned to the court again, and the Lakers players cheered up.
On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan contained most of the Nuggets' defensive power.
Bynum got stuck under the basket, Fisher passed the ball, and then Bynum turned around and scored a layup.
117 to 109.
The Nuggets counterattacked, and Iverson gambled for a three-pointer and missed.
There was a sigh at the scene.
If this goal is not scored, the Nuggets' disadvantage will be even greater.
Fisher slowly advanced with the ball.
He can also control the rhythm, but he is not as good as those excellent point guards.
Iverson was a little impatient and rushed to press but failed.
Fisher dribbled the ball to the basket, Martin made a cover, and Odom caught the ball and scored a layup.
Neither Kebi nor Zhang Zhiyuan scored at this moment, but they played a huge role.
If they hadn't attracted all the Nuggets' defensive power, Odom wouldn't have been able to get a shot easily.
119 to 109, the score difference returned to double digits.
With more than a minute left in the game, there was no suspense about the outcome.
Iverson and Anthony were both replaced, but Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe played the last minute.
At the end of the game, 124 to 111, the Lakers defeated their opponents by 13 points, leading 3-0, and promotion was in sight.
There is no example of a 3-0 overturn in the entire league history.
In terms of statistics, Iverson made 13 of 28 shots and scored 32 points and 4 assists including free throws.
Anthony made 11 of 25 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.
It's useless to score 61 points with both guns. They took up too many shots.
Apart from the two of them, Jr. Smith took the most shots, only 10 times, hitting 4 and scoring 11 points.
Kleiza made 5 of 9 shots and scored 12 points.
Martin continued to score 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Camby scored 6 points, Najera scored 7 points, Carter scored 5 points, and Nene scored 2 points.
For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant made 14 of 27 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 34 points.
Zhang Zhiyuan made 12 of 23 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 31 points and 6 assists.
The two scored 65 points together.
Odom scored the third highest score of 15 points, Ariza had 9 points, Fisher had 8 points and 10 assists, Hayes had 2 points, Bynum had 6 points and 10 rebounds, and the other substitutes combined for 15 points.
Although the role players don't score much, they are very efficient. This is the key to the Lakers winning.
The moment the game ended, the scene became very quiet.
They all know that it is impossible to make a comeback when trailing 0-3.
They gave high hopes to the two-gun combination, but in the end they only made it to the first round.
They are not satisfied with this result no matter what.
At the post-game press conference, Anthony was still tough and said he would refuse to be swept.
However, no fans believe this kind of scene anymore.
On the 27th, the Cavaliers played Game 4 against the Wizards.
James scored 44 points and led the team to a surprise win. With a big score of 3-1, promotion was in sight.
The Magic overturned, and Howard played a terrible game.
Maybe he felt that the 3-0 lead was secure, so he played very casually in the game and made many mistakes.
The Magic lost, but the problem didn't seem to be big. They still led 3-1 and had an absolute advantage.
The Suns challenged the Jazz and won again, with the big score becoming a 3-1 lead.
After the game, O'Neal didn't know whether he took the wrong medicine or something, but he actually said that the Suns were strong contenders for the championship, and seemed not to take the Lakers seriously.
Perhaps, this is just a simple desire to compare with Ke.
The Hornets played against the Rockets, and the Rockets finally defended a home court, got a win, and saved some face.
It would be too embarrassing if we were swept 4-0.
The team just lost Zhang Zhiyuan, and it immediately went from defending champion to first-round tourney. Fans felt the importance of Zhang Zhiyuan even more.
28th.
The Pistons played against the Pacers and won 93-86, with the score tied at 2-2.
Experts agree that this matchup is most likely to reach a tiebreaker.
The Celtics challenged the Hawks away from home. The Celtics overturned again and lost the game 92-97. The score was 2-2, which shocked countless eyeballs.
That’s it? That’s it?
Lakers fans left messages one after another, saying that they overestimated the Celtics and that the Lakers' final opponent may not be the Celtics.
Celtics fans are so angry that they can't blame Lakers fans. They can only blame the players.
The Celtics could have won this game. They led by 10 points in the first three quarters.
In the last quarter, Joe Johnson and Josh Smith suddenly broke out.
Joe Johnson made 7 of 10 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 4 free throws, scoring 20 points in a single quarter.
Although Josh Smith only made 2 of 5 shots, he made 8 free throws and made all of them, scoring 12 points.
The two teamed up to score 32 points, which stunned the Celtics.
The Spurs played against the Mavericks and were defeated 86-105, leading by a huge score of 3-1.
It's possible that the Spurs lost this game on purpose in order to sell more tickets.
Of course, this is just a possibility, and no one has any proof.
After all, other teams don't stand still like Zhang Zhiyuan, they just need to play less hard to lose.
The Lakers had no intention of letting go. In the fourth game, they defeated the Nuggets cleanly and advanced with a big score of 4-0, becoming the first team to advance to the second round.
But this is all what fans expected.
In the eyes of fans, the only threats to the Lakers this season are the Celtics and Spurs. The Suns and Hornets are even less likely to do so.
The Nuggets were the first to go out, and Iverson and George Karl openly had conflicts at the post-game press conference.
George Karl accused Iverson of not playing according to the tactics, and Iverson said that George Karl's tactics were too risky and were the main factor in the loss.
Someone always needs to take the blame after losing. This kind of thing is too common in the NBA.
If someone is willing to take the blame, the contradiction can continue to be covered up.
It's a pity that neither George Karl nor Iverson wanted to take the blame, so the conflict broke out.
The media is very happy. They have already begun to think about helping Iverson choose a new home, or helping the Nuggets find a new coach. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
