I am so Accurate

Halftime, Lakers locker room.

O'Neill was panting heavily.

Although he still has top-level dominance, the unchangeable fact is that his physical fitness is far greater on the plateau than in Los Angeles.

Kenny Smith's previous analysis was correct.

O'Neal couldn't be here anymore, maintaining his dominance the entire game.

There were only two scenarios for him personally in the second half of the game.

The first type is the normal playing time, and the efficiency will decline in the fourth quarter;

The second is to reduce playing time and maintain aggressiveness.

General coaches choose the second option.

Because if you choose the first option, you may also face the risk of injury.

So even in this game, they will not take that risk.

Jackson ... made a third choice.

"We adjust the focus of attack."

The Lakers are not single-core. In addition to O'Neal and Sun Hao, they can attack more from the outside in the second half.

Let O'Neal take a walk on the court and do some restraint. This can not only save O'Neal's physical energy, but also ensure the strength of the Lakers' offensive and defensive ends on the court.

This is the third option Jackson made.

So sometimes don't be confused by the playing time of NBA players, because even for superstars, it is common to go shopping on the court.

Back in the second half, the Lakers went first.

O'Neal no longer asked for the ball in the low post, but swam in near the penalty area.

Ma Long mentioned the three-point line to do a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao.

This is a completely different style of play from the first half.

Not to mention Carl, fans are aware that the Lakers' tactics have changed.

But, just like the Nuggets beat O'Neal at mid-range in the first half, knowing and being able to defend are two different things.

Ma Long's pick-and-roll was perfect, Sun Hao dribbled the ball for a quick three-pointer, and Martin on the opposite side had no time to switch defenses.

The ball flew out of Sun Hao's hand, spinning and drawing a long parabola in the air.

"Shua!"

Then, amid the almost helpless expressions of the Denver fans, they entered the net in response!

Sun Hao, he made his first three-pointer after returning from the second half!

"What did I say?"

A four-level reversal was officially staged in the commentary, and Barkley raised his eyebrows and looked at Smith.

Smith laughed.

With the situation on the field tonight, I don't know how many levels the commentary booth will reverse.

In the Nuggets' offense, Terry and James played a pick-and-roll, and James scored after receiving the ball.

The ball was in Buckner's hands again, this time Buckner seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer!

The Nuggets returned an answerball to the Lakers!

The cheers at the scene were completely unstoppable!

The performance of the home team tonight made them ecstatic!

A 50-50 split with the Lakers sounds like a worthy stand-up!

For such a team, they have every reason to believe that what James said before the game, their distance from the championship is not so far away!

Sun Hao, continue to play pick-and-roll with Ma Long, this time after the pick-and-roll, he made a fake shot and went in.

Martin couldn't keep up with the reaction at all, and watched as Sun Hao broke through from him, and then reached the free throw line with a signature throw-in-the-go score!

After Sun Hao came up in the second half, he also scored 5 points in a row!

And the scoring speed is too fast!

"Stick to him! Stick to him!"

Carl on the sidelines waved his hands and yelled for Buckner to stick to the defense.

But he also knew that this was just a process, because he... didn't have much to do.

Although Sun Hao's dominance on the outside is not as good as that of O'Neal on the inside, there are no two or three players who can't stop him from scoring.

In other words, the only thing that can stop Sun Hao from scoring is his own touch!

But tonight, Sun Hao's hand felt so hot that he lifted the steam cover!

The Nuggets continued to play the pick-and-roll, but James' layup was directly blocked by O'Neal.

After the second half, O'Neal's offensive end was basically in a state of walking and watching, which gave him sufficient physical fitness on the defensive end.

The Lakers played a fast break, Sun Hao broke into the three-point line against Buckner's defense, and suddenly made an emergency stop to chase for a three-pointer.

Buckner is a decent 3-point shooter, but not great defensively.

After Leonard was injured, Karl mentioned him to the starting lineup, which can be regarded as a general among short people.

Sun Hao's sudden stop, he wanted to go up but he couldn't keep up, and he fell to the ground directly.

"Shua!"

Today's top five best goals in the NBA: Sun Hao made an emergency stop and chased for a three-pointer, attracting the admiration of his opponents!

The scene was restless.

Sun Hao, has scored 8 points in a row since the second half!

The Lakers also played an 8-3 offensive, narrowing the point difference to 1 point!

James scored again, Buckner caught the ball again and got a good shot.

He also shot decisively.

"when!"

However, the basketball went out of the frame!

Not all milk is Milk Delux, and not all Sagittarius is Ritian!

Sun Hao, he only has one!

O'Neal, double-teamed by Martin and Camby, rose into the air and grabbed the defensive rebound!

And after taking the ball, he threw it to Sun Hao immediately.

Sun Hao dribbled the ball beautifully behind Terry, who was defending in front of him, and made a quick break to the frontcourt.

Amidst the exclamation of the Denver fans, Los Angeles Coote and the new dunk king went online.

Sun Hao, performed a fast-break windmill dunk!

"Boom!"

After the ball was smashed into the basket, the entire Lakers bench was boiling.

It's this kind of feel!

The Lakers once again overtook the score!

There was an uproar at the scene.

If it wasn't because Sun Hao belonged to the Lakers, they would all want to jump up and cheer for Sun Hao.

After Sun Hao came back in the second half, he scored 10 points in a row!

In terms of dominance, Sun Hao may not be number one in the league, but the explosive power of scoring is probably beyond the reach of Kobe now!

As long as it feels good, God will give you a day!

George Karl reached out and called a timeout.

Even if he had no choice for the time being, he could only call a timeout first.

Because if he doesn't restrain Sun Hao from scoring, Sun Hao will really take the game away by himself!

"Kenny, do you have anything to say right now?"

Barkley's big ass has a tail, if any, by now.

Smith laughed, but this time he pointed to the scoreboard.

The Lakers only lead by 1 point.

It's hard to say who will win the game.

After the timeout, the Nuggets played tactics in the frontcourt. James showed his physical talent this time, and scored the ball against Malone after the pick-and-roll!

63 to 62!

The Nuggets once again overtook the score!

There were constant cheers at the scene.

As Smith hinted, even though Sun Hao was unstoppable when he came back in the second half, they still maintained the lead!

Sun Hao, continue to play pick and roll with Ma Long.

This time the Nuggets released Ma Long to force Sun Hao directly.

Karl is a strong offensive and defensive coach, and his defensive thinking is also very simple.

Double-teaming Sun Hao made it difficult for Sun Hao to score.

If Sun Hao passed the ball, that would be a great thing.

Sun Hao chose to give the ball to Ma Long, but Ma Long's close-range hook from the free throw line failed to score!

Camby grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Lakers' offense returned without success!

The simpler the defensive thinking, sometimes the more effective it is!

Unlike F4 in the Lakers period last year, the current Lakers team can be regarded as absolutely strong, only Sun Hao and O'Neal.

This is why Carl's defensive strategy works.

James, started playing pick and roll with Terry again.

Although he just scored a goal, he knows exactly where the Nuggets' offensive advantage is now.

After the pick-and-roll, Terry caught the point where O'Neal couldn't get out and shot again.

"when!"

It's a pity that his shot failed to hit this time.

At this time, Terry hadn't advanced to the Jets, and his scoring stability still needs to be improved.

This is also a reasonable thing, otherwise he would have exploded in the past two games.

O'Neal protected the defensive rebound, and the Lakers wanted to play fast.

But James was highly focused tonight, jumping into O'Neal's passing route ahead of time, preventing O'Neal's long pass.

The Lakers moved from the fast break to the position, and Sun Hao and Malone continued the pick-and-roll.

The Nuggets' defense is not much different from before, they still use two players to attack Sun Hao.

Sun Hao... didn't choose to pass the ball anymore, he directly took a big step back to distance himself from everyone at the moment after the pick-and-roll, and then shot directly!

This choice came too suddenly.

Of course, it is not surprising, because the person who makes the choice is Sun Hao!

His attack range is wider than Phil Jackson required to cover half court!

A long-range step-back three-pointer, neither Martin nor Buckner had time to save it.

The ball whizzes past their heads and all they can do is look back!

"Shua!"

Then, as they watch, the basketball crashes into the net!

Sun Hao scored 13 points in a row!

Terrible scoring explosive power!

65 to 63!

The Lakers also overtook the score again!

"I think you're right."

This time, Kenny Smith from the commentary booth said I had surrendered.

No matter how good he is at football, he would never have guessed that Sun Hao, who performed "average" in the first two games, would suddenly erupt and erupt so quickly.

Buckley had an expression of "told you boy not to listen to me".

But this is not to blame Kenny Smith. As Sun Hao's former teammate, Barkley must know more about Sun Hao than Smith.

In fact, he has been talking to Smith Cop for the past two years, but Smith has never taken it seriously.

Or, it's just the two of them creating the effect of the show.

But no matter what they are for, at least the two have reached a consensus.

Sun Hao became the biggest X factor in tonight's game.

The entire third quarter became Sun Hao's personal scoring show.

The Nuggets defended farther and farther away, and Sun Hao's three-pointers were getting farther and farther.

He even completed the first three-point playoff logo of his Lakers career!

Carl had a "how the hell did the ball hit like this?" expression on his face.

Sun Hao scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 23 points!

That is, the performance in this section reminded many people of one thing.

The current record holder for scoring in a single quarter in the NBA, who has broken the 27-year record held by "Iceman" George Gervin, is Sun Hao!

In terms of scoring explosive power, just ask who else you have!

And his performance has dealt a great blow to the morale of the Nuggets.

Anyone who has played ball knows that when you can't prevent your opponent from scoring no matter how hard you try, your mentality will collapse!

The Nuggets played at the beginning of the third quarter was not much different from the first half, but in the second half, they only scored single digits!

As a result, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 40 to 18 in this quarter!

22 points in a single quarter!

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers led the Nuggets by 16 points 92 to 76!

On the stage of the playoffs, with this point difference, it's time to clock out of get off work!

At the commentary seat, Smith had a strange expression at this time. To use an idiom to describe it: mixed tastes.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with his analysis. O'Neal's physical fitness declined due to the impact of the plateau, and he spent most of the second half shopping on the court.

But Sun Hao is unreasonable!

In the last quarter of the game, James played as soon as the game opened.

He played a full third quarter!

That desire to win can be felt by anyone.

And as soon as he came up, he rushed inside and smashed the ball into the basket across Damon Jones.

The atmosphere in the Pepsi Center was instantly ignited by him.

Under his leadership, the Nuggets' substitutes also fought bravely, playing a wave of 10 to 2 attacks, and once narrowed the point difference to single digits!

However, it was like a charge on an ancient battlefield, exhausted in one go.

Phil Jackson, as a master of Zen, knows the truth.

He didn't call a timeout or make a substitution when the Nuggets started chasing points.

Instead, after the Nuggets' offensive momentum slowed down a bit, they directly replaced the main force of the Lakers in advance.

This substitution made Karl on the opposite side a little autistic.

O'Neal, who had had enough of hanging around, began to play the harvest game.

And because of Sun Hao's crazy performance in the third quarter, the Nuggets didn't dare to shrink too completely.

As a result, in the Denver Plateau field, the big shark took a nap, and it woke up again!

At this time, the fans in front of the TV expressed their distress for James for a second.

This... is really too difficult, hey!

In the end, despite James' best efforts, he hit the first triple-double of 30+10+10 in his career.

However, Sun Hao and O'Neal on the opposite side couldn't hold back and scored 70+ together!

In the end, the Nuggets lost to the Lakers 106 to 121 and suffered a three-game losing streak in the series!

There has never been a team in NBA history that has come back from a 0-3 deficit.

There is also no such situation in the history of some comets that "a 0-4 deficit can be reversed 5-4".

The Nuggets are only one step away from ending their season!

After the game, James was asked by reporters about the prospects of the series.

But after all, it was in Denver, and no reporter brought up the topic of the previous championship again.

This time, James did not become Poet Zhan again.

When people are depressed, they will indeed have a lot of emotion.

But if a person is at the end of his life, he will not be feeling emotional, but seeking to survive.

"We must go all out to win the next game. This is responsible to ourselves and to all the fans who support us."

The reporters nodded thoughtfully after listening.

This sentence is much more realistic than what Poet Zhan said in the previous two games.

However, they can also feel that as the series progressed, James' expectations were lowered by the Lakers.

Maybe, probably, this is life!
