In the second quarter of the game, Jackson decided not to pretend and started playing the game of wealth.
Gasol, Odom, Su Bei, Vujacic, Farmar.
This lineup can be said to be a fully offensive rotation lineup.
George Karl looked at it and his head was buzzing. He looked at his bench and saw that the only one who could play was Jr. Smith.
He is, after all, an offensive type with convulsions. In other words, if he doesn't have convulsions, he is nothing on the court.
Kenyon Martin + Anthony account for approximately 30 million in salary space.
Billups + Nene Hilario account for 20 million in salary space.
The Nuggets' budget in the economic crisis only has 70 million salary space, and the core four people account for 50 million.
Jr. Smith accounted for 5 million.
Antonio McDyess was part of Iverson's trade bargaining chip. The 3 million space he occupied was to equalize the transaction salaries of both parties. Then the Nuggets waived him and returned him to the Pistons, which was quite a deal for the Nuggets. Team money to play for the Pistons.
In order to save money, there are countless such tricks by league teams.
For example, in the Timberwolves' yin-yang contract, the Lakers signed back Aaron McGee, who was injured and semi-retired, and then packaged it to the Grizzlies to match Gasol's contract.
Steven Hunt accounted for 4 million, but was reimbursed before the semifinals were played.
On the bench of the Nuggets, the only two undrafted players that can be used are Anthony Carter and Birdman Chris Anderson. What can you use to top them?
No way, the Lakers have already made a move, and George Karl can only take over, sending out Chris Anderson, Kenyon Martin, Anthony, Jr. Smith, and Anthony Carter.
The second quarter started with the Lakers attacking the ball.
"Farmar handed the basketball to Su Bei, cut into the basket, and played a pick-and-roll screen with Gasol who received the basketball.
Gasol feinted a shot, turned around and dribbled the ball towards the basket. Chris Anderson was too talented and he blocked the basketball, but Gasol was too tough and even knocked the ball into the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Birdman Anderson's passion for playing is not a good thing. He failed to block the shot, but was given an extra penalty.
Swish——!
The score was 2+1. Gasol showed no mercy and scored 3 points.
The difference between the two sides became 6 points.
“The Nuggets charged up and started a run-and-gun game.
Anthony Carter, who was 185, quickly pushed to the frontcourt and distributed the ball to Jr. Smith to break through with the ball.
The pursuit breakthrough caused Vujacic's thug to foul..."
Stop the clock + free throws = stall for time and let your core players take a breather.
There's nothing wrong with Jr. Smith's offensive choices, but it's a pity that he is not a crazy version of Jr.
He only made 1 of 2 free throws and scored 1 point.
The score difference became 7 points.
"It's still a triangle offensive team game. After Farmar passed the ball to Su Bei, he cut inside to the basket and cooperated with Gasol who received the basketball.
It is foreseeable that Chris Anderson cannot stand up to Gasol. One is a bench role player and the other is a controversial inside superstar.
A controversial superstar, but also a superstar, what can Anderson use to top him..."
Anthony chose to shrink to help defend, but Gasol did not wave. He found the role of the triangle offensive axis and passed the basketball back to Su Bei outside the three-point line.
"Catch the ball, jump up, raise your hand and shoot a three-point jump shot..."
There is no extraneous movement in the entire shooting movement, and it is as smooth as eating Dove chocolate.
Swish——!
With the knife raised and lowered, Su Bei has an A-level three-pointer and teaches Anthony to be a defender.
Jiangsu North has a basket, but you still want to sell it short?
It's simply courting death.
The score difference became 4 points.
"The Nuggets were attacking, but Anthony couldn't catch the basketball and was pestered by Su Bei, constantly seizing position.
As the sixth man of the Nuggets, Jr. Smith took over the basketball and the Nuggets' offense. He broke through, changed direction, made an emergency stop, and rose up with the ball. Against Vujacic's defense, he tried two attempts with his hand. Take a strong shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Jr. Smith's choice is no problem. With Vujacic's defense, he can definitely take it.
It's a pity that his shooting skills are still cooling down.
If you try it forcefully, you will die.
“Rebound grab!
Gasol got stuck and took advantage.
Huh?
What a waste, Anderson flew up, his jumping ability was so strong, he actually picked up the basketball from behind Gasol, got the basketball, then took off twice and smashed it towards the basket..."
Beep——!
Gasol didn't like him, showed his iron side, and sent Anderson to the free throw line with a foul.
With two swish sounds, Anderson made two free throws, widening the point difference to 6 points.
Next, Anthony received the basketball. In the close confrontation with Su Bei, he still chose to organize transition passes and let his teammates attack. He also understood that he could not defeat the current championship-like Lakers with his own firepower. Team.
Taking a paddling break on the court is also a very challenging task.
"It's better to play Jr. Smith, the triple threat lifts the ball to make a shot, then recovers and dribbles the ball to break through.
What?
Su Bei and Farmar rushed over and formed a three-on-one siege on Jr. Smith. The basketball was about to be lost, but Jr. Smith made a mistake, and the Lakers launched a counterattack.
Farmar brought the ball to the frontcourt without passing the ball. He faced Anthony Carter's scoring question and made a layup to score the basketball..."
Swish——!
After two points, the gap between the two sides was still 4 points.
In the subsequent rounds, the two sides failed to reach a conclusion.
Immediately afterwards, Jr. Smith's breakthrough and emergency jump shot were still solid.
"JR Smith played in the Western Conference Finals for the first time, and his hands were a little raw. He took over the Nuggets' offense, but only scored 1 point on free throws, which was nothing.
The Lakers continued to counterattack. Su Bei caught the ball, suddenly jumped up, raised his hand and made a three-point pull-up jump shot..."
Anthony's defense was only active, but his stance was a little tighter. If he pounced, he would only get a gunshot.
"Bangdang——!
Subei’s three points were sent.
Gasol returned the rebound, grabbed the basketball over Anderson's head, and attacked the basket... No, it was just a feint, Gasol passed the ball..."
Vujacic caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper...
Jr. Smith just followed the basketball. When he was looking for his opponent, the basketball had already drawn an arc in the air, and finally, with a swish sound, it penetrated the white net.
"Yes, Vujacic's three-pointer helped the Lakers narrow the point difference to 1 point.
In the battle between rotation lineups, the Nuggets were crushed without any suspense.
In the 4th minute of the second quarter, the Lakers hit an 11-3 shock wave and stopped the game! "
This is not a tactical crime, but a lack of weapons on the bench. The biggest reason why George Karl called a timeout is to stop the Lakers' offensive rhythm.
The inside line was blown up, so he had to replace the invisible Kenyon Martin and bring back Nene Lahirio.
At the same time, Anthony came off the court to rest, and Billups came on to take over and lead the team, controlling the rhythm on the court. If he couldn't beat him head-on, he had to delay as much time as possible.
Not to mention, Billups' court control really suppressed the Lakers' offensive firepower.
Although Odom also scored a 3-pointer.
In the 6th minute of the game, with Kobe and Bynum playing, the Lakers' lineup changed to Bynum, Odom, Ariza, Su Bei and Kobe.
The lineup was overwhelming. The rotation led by Billups frequently assisted Lahirio's goals and actually withstood the Lakers' counterattack.
In the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead with a score of 34 to 23, but not by much.
At the end of the first half, the score was 58 to 56. The Lakers entered the locker room to rest with a 2-point advantage.
After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, they came back for the second half of the game.
The main forces of both sides continued to play music and then fought.
“The game started in the third quarter.
The Nuggets attacked the ball. Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt and hit Fisher with his back.
After attracting the Lakers' defense, the basketball was passed to Anthony on the left.
Receive the ball and pose as an offensive three-threat, with Su Bei watching the defense.
After probing, probing again, and seeing through Su Bei's defensive intentions, Anthony took the ball and threw an unreasonable and blind three-pointer..."
Su Bei's consciousness still chose to focus on Anthony's mid-range and breakthrough.
However, at this moment, Anthony was a little unreasonable.
Bet that Anthony has no bullets in his three-point pistol?
In the end, he lost.
Swish——!
Three points into the net.
59 to 58!
At this moment, Su Bei just wanted to recite a poem: Li Liyuan wrote the score, is it unreliable to say three points of melon?
Do you call this unreliable?
Sure enough, if you use the sword of the future to kill today's officials, you will suffer backlash.
Ten years later, when James was still killing everyone in the league, Anthony was 35 years old, but became unpopular due to his traditional small forward style of taking up a lot of the ball and unreliable three-pointers.
However, Anthony now uses three-point shooting to teach Subei's defense.
Bang-dang——!
Kobe wanted to return it, but as a result, his ordinary two-point shot missed.
"The Nuggets attacked, and Billups took advantage of Anthony's hotness and inability to play. He dribbled the ball half court and immediately distributed the ball to Anthony.
Catch the ball, lift it up, and make a three-point jump shot..."
Su Bei didn't dare to let go anymore and grabbed the ball close to him. Anthony swung around wildly. After breaking Su Bei's body, he accelerated his breakthrough and charged towards Su Bei's fighting and retreating body.
Don't come over here!
Su Bei was in panic and could only use force.
“Beep——!
Su Bei took action and wanted to use a gambling steal to take the basketball off Anthony's hand.
However, as if Anthony had predicted Su Bei's prediction, he forcibly pulled the ball and shot toward the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
With a little bit of luck, Anthony scored a 2+1 chance on Su Bei.
Now it's about getting to the free throw line and taking two free throws.
Swish——!
Swish——!
Anthony, who was in a hot state, showed no mercy when faced with the score question and made two free throws.
61 to 58!
Su Bei was blown away by Anthony. With his kaleidoscope skills, precise three-point touch, and unlimited shooting rights, anyone else would have been blown to pieces.
"The addition of Billups reduces Anthony's organizational tasks.
You can put all your talents into finishing the attack and scoring. Such a big killer has an invincible appearance..."
While Su Bei was beaten, Kobe was also made to look dull.
Bang-dang——!
When Anthony transformed into a killer, Kobe transformed into a blacksmith.
Fortunately, as the Nuggets' nemesis, the Lakers are somewhat capable of dealing with this run-and-gun team.
"The Lakers increased their defensive intensity, automatically slowed down, and dragged the game into a battlefield.
Moreover, the defensive formation shrank..."
After all, the Nuggets are an impact team, and shooting is a weakness that cannot be ignored.
Anyway, from the Lakers' point of view, the Nuggets' shooting can't kill the game.
Anthony made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter.
Billups made 2 of 5 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points and 2 assists. The Nuggets' new golden double gun performed well.
Kobe made 2 of 7 shots and scored 4 points.
Su Bei made 1 of 3 shots and scored 3 points. The Lakers' two swords combined, it can be said that they are not stretched.
However, in the third quarter, under the tactics of stalling for time, the Nuggets only defeated the Lakers by 3 points in a single quarter with a score of 22 to 19.
At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 78 to 77. The Nuggets relied on Anthony's superstar performance to lead the Nuggets into the final quarter with a 1-point advantage.
