The fourth quarter begins.
The Grizzlies head coach skipped the rotation stage and went directly to the main lineup.
The attitude is very clear, start the decisive battle in advance and fight to the death!
The same is true for the Lakers.
Kobe continued to play, and it looked like he was going to play the entire second half.
At the same time, Mike Brown also learned his lesson and continued to let Jiang Feng appear!
The Grizzlies took the lead.
Through the adjustment of inter-section rest, the players have stabilized their mentality and are no longer as panicked as they were at the end of the third quarter.
Conley played a pick-and-roll with Gasol. He broke into the penalty area and did not pass the ball to Randolph. Instead, he passed it back to Gasol. The latter dribbled to the free throw line and shot a mid-range shot.
The action is very gentle.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc.
Uh-huh.
Hollow into the net.
Lakers offense.
Jiang Feng dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Kobe. The latter fell into the low post for a post-up singles, turned around and shot a jump shot after continuous headbutts.
Bang!
Blacksmithing.
Offense and defense transition.
It was Gasol Jr. in the penalty area again, turning around and shooting against Gasol.
It has to be said that as brothers, the two have very similar technical movements, and their offensive movements in the penalty area are very comprehensive.
A wave of 4:0 offensive climax reduced the point difference to 2 points.
Jiang Feng organized the offense with the ball. After picking and rolling with Ebanks, he broke into the penalty area and circled around the basket, and then passed the basketball very secretly through the gap between the two defenders.
But it's a pity that Ebanks couldn't catch it.
The basketball flew directly out of bounds.
The Grizzlies get the offensive ball.
Conley continued to cooperate with Gasol. The latter continued to hit the ball in the penalty area. Even though he was double-teamed, he still turned around and shot a jumper, and was fouled by Gasol.
Gasol stepped to the free throw line and made one of two free throws, narrowing the point difference to 1 point.
At this critical moment of chasing points, Gasol exploded and scored 5 points in a row, helping the team tie the score!
The restless audience quieted down and became nervous again.
Why are the Lakers at a disadvantage again?
We have recovered 20 points. It would be such a pity if we lose the game in the end!
"Hey! Jiang Feng is no longer magical after all! When his teammates' touch starts to decline, how can he instigate the team's offense? How can he get assists?"
"I just made a mistake!"
"At this critical moment, Mike Brown should still replace him with an experienced championship point guard like Fisher."
Buckley shook his head and said, there was no mockery in his tone, but a bit of regret.
Smith remained silent, feeling a little nervous. Could it be that this Chinese second-round pick's amazing performance in the third quarter was really just a flash in the pan?
Courtside.
Mike Brown also greeted Fisher and asked him to prepare to play.
This time everyone understood him.
It is very normal logic to let the more experienced veteran point guard play the decisive moment.
On the court.
Lakers offense.
Jiang Feng dribbled the ball across half court while observing his teammates' movements, and found that they were all being watched closely by the defenders.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
If there is no offensive opportunity, then create offensive opportunities for your teammates!
Jiang Feng continuously changed directions and broke through Conley. After rushing into the penalty area, he was surrounded by two people.
Everyone thought he would pass the ball to Ebanks, but he passed it to Gasol who was standing outside the penalty area. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then made a mid-range jumper.
Uh-huh.
A solid hit.
"Good shot! Man! You passed the ball great!"
Gasol said excitedly.
"Routine operations."
Jiang Feng grinned and turned back to defend.
Grizzlies offense.
Conley missed a mid-range jumper.
Jiang Feng rushed to the penalty area and grabbed the rebound, then quickly dribbled forward.
He is very aware of his advantage in counterattack, so he must take advantage of it.
After halftime, he didn't pass the ball to Artest on the wing, but passed it backwards.
Completely blind transmission!
But the basketball accurately flew to the hands of Kobe, who followed up. The latter stopped outside the three-point line and steadily shot a three-pointer.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Uh-huh.
Hollow into the net!
5 points in a row.
The Lakers re-established a 6-point lead.
"Here we go! Jiang Feng showed off his sultry passing game again."
"This counterattack is crucial to this game!"
Smith said excitedly.
"This kid broke out again? His passing can really tear apart the Grizzlies' defense easily!"
Buckley couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's not bad! He only sent 14 assists! Rather than his passing talent, I admire him more for rebounding, because rebounding reflects attitude."
Smith said, with an indifferent expression, he had already started to pretend for Jiang Feng.
"How do you explain the attack?"
Buckley asked, looking like he was watching a show.
You love blowing the river breeze so much, now let's see how you blow it.
"Not taking action easily is called fighting reasonably."
Smith looked matter-of-fact.
Barkley: "???"
On the court.
Jiang Feng completely tore apart the Grizzlies' defense with exquisite passes again and again.
The two superstars Gasol and Kobe took turns bombing the basket, especially Kobe, who showed super offensive ability without the ball.
After a wave of 13:5 offensive climax.
The Lakers extended their lead to 14 points.
Then the Grizzlies were not to be outdone and launched a wave of counterattacks.
But at critical moments, Kobe, who has killer qualities, will never show mercy.
No more playing without the ball.
Every time he attacks, he takes the initiative to go to the outside to get the ball, then starts a single, and hits two difficult fadeaway jumpers in a row.
Kill the game!
The scene was also completely ignited, stimulating the audience's adrenaline and bursting into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
beep!
The head coach of the Grizzlies called a timeout and reluctantly replaced the main players and replaced them with substitute players.
Surrender.
Randolph had no expression on his face and his body language was very frustrated. He sat down on the bench and covered his head with a sweat towel.
Although it was only a regular season game, it was still a huge blow to him.
He clearly had the advantage inside, but he couldn't get the rebound from the second-round pick!
The key is that the second-round pick is still a point guard.
What a humiliation!
That's it for this game, but in the next game, this second-round pick must pay the price!
The seeds of hatred were buried deep in Randolph's heart.
After playing in the league for so many years, I have never been so embarrassed...
The Lakers also began to withdraw their troops.
When Jiang Feng came off the stage, the entire audience stood up, applauded enthusiastically, and cheered crazily.
Obviously, this game completely conquered the audience.
If the audience only knew Jiang Feng in the last game, then they have already begun to be obsessed with him in this game!
On the bench, the players also stood up one after another and took the initiative to go to Jiang Feng to high-five and celebrate, welcoming the team's hero to triumph!
"Man, you had a perfect game!"
"My future career is bright and promising."
Fisher patted Jiang Feng's chest and said excitedly.
"I said it! We can definitely reverse this."
Jiang Feng showed a simple and innocent smile.
"You did what you promised! I did too. I lost two towels in this game!"
Fisher said with a smile and touched his sore arm.
Waving a towel is also a physical activity!
After chatting for a while, Gasol and Kobe also gathered around, chatting and laughing with Jiang Feng, not treating him as a rookie at all, but treating him as a teammate fighting alongside him.
Ebanks, Goodlock and other rookies next to him saw this scene and were filled with envy.
They are both rookies, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger!
We can never go back to the days when we once waved towels together and guarded the water dispenser together!
Woohoo!
