When he returned from the timeout, James attacked the basket and rebuilt the injury. He got two free throws.
He was very serious when he made free throws, and he also predicted that the Pelicans would be different tonight.
However, he still made only one free throw.
Gasol protected the defensive rebounds, the Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, Tang Tian made a three-pointer on the outside.
"Oh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Tang Tian also has a three-pointer!
15 to 4!
The points difference has reached double digits!
The fans at the scene were restless.
According to the past history of the battle between the two teams, the battle of Tian Wang Shan can be expected to be a fierce battle.
In the fierce battle, the Lakers will have a greater win with their home advantage.
But now, the situation is completely different from what they expected!
The game fell down!
With more than 9 minutes in this quarter, the Pelicans have led the Lakers by 29-14 with a full 15 points.
The scene was much quieter than at the beginning, and the fans expressed a look of despair.
There is hope in Vogel's eyes.
Not only because he is the head coach, but also because he thinks the game is not over yet.
Especially at this point in time, both sides have gradually entered the rotation lineup.
In the past three games, the Lakers have gained the upper hand in the bench connection, pulling the score when they are leading and catching up when they are behind.
Compared to the Pelicans 'bench group, the Lakers' benches played significantly better in this series.
On the other side of the Pelicans, Seacam remained on the field, with Alexander, Kuzma and Harrell coming on stage.
Counting Green, who was replaced early, Stevens used a nine-man rotation.
On the Lakers side, Middleton and Durant were on the court, and Simmons, Fry and Zubac were replaced one after another.
Vogel used a rotation of eight.
After returning to the Lakers' first attack, Simmons cut the rim and received a pass from Zubatz to make a layup.
Simmons was demoted to the bench this season, coupled with Jenna breaking up with him again, a double low in emotional career, and this year is the contract year.
Other than shooting, he has performed better in other aspects than in previous seasons.
Vogel was happy when he saw it.
That's it.
Although the Pelicans had the upper hand at the beginning, but the time was taken up by the bench, and there are still some games to play.
At Tianwang Mountain, the Pelicans want to win easily, and they have to ask if he and the Lakers can't agree!
For the Pelicans, Alexander is holding the ball.
Siakam raised the pick-and-roll and he broke in after holding the ball.
Both the weaker Kuzma and Green are holding defense in off-ball positions.
The Lakers 'defensive focus is on the Pelicans' perimeter and Seacam.
Stevens used a nine-man rotation, Davis couldn't play again, and the Pelicans had very few points on the field.
Defend those off-ball spots, and then prevent West Kam, the Pelicans' tactics will not be able to open.
But at this moment, what happened to the Lakers did not happen. After Alexander broke through to the inside, he directly threw at Zubac!
Zubac has improved a lot this season, squeezing McGee into the bench.
However, he is a traditional big man, and his speed is too slow.
"Oh!"
Basketball crossed a parabola in the air, hollow into the net!
Alexander's throw, come in!
There was a restless scene.
The bench of the substitute team cheered for a while.
Parker's eyes were filled with relief.
As early as the regular season, Alexander had already performed well, and his throwing effort was becoming more sophisticated and more and more his style.
For the Lakers' offense, Durant missed the catch and jumper from Zubatz, but Zubatz used his height and wingspan to grab offensive rebounds and make up rebounds.
Harrel is still a little defensive.
Cheers broke out at the scene.
Compared to them, the performance of the Lakers bench transition is significantly better!
"Defense! Defense!"
When he returned, the fans also shouted neatly.
Now is a good time for the Lakers to start!
The Pelicans failed to play in the frontcourt, and Alexander broke through with the ball.
"Shrink! Bags!"
Vogel knew how little time was left and shouted at the players on the field.
The Lakers contracted their wings, no longer giving Alexander the chance to throw as before.
However, Alexander has two famous coaches, Nash and Parker, who will not only throw.
After detecting changes in the Lakers defense and estimating offensive time, he passed the ball directly to the outside.
Kuzma catches the ball quickly.
As soon as the ball was shot, the red light on the sideline followed.
This is a whistle shot.
Although Kuzma did not have much time to adjust, this shot was very positive.
"Oh!"
With a crisp sound, Kuzma's whistle was three-pointer and entered!
Kuzma stretched his finger after Alexander scored.
It looked like a pot-throwing pass, but he got a three-pointer with a full open.
The so-called wealth insurance seeks.
The scene was restless.
Vogel almost came to a sigh of relief.
This three-pointer is deadly.
The most direct manifestation is that after these rounds, the Lakers not only did not approach the points difference, but were pulled to 16 points by the Pelicans!
In the Lakers' offense, Simmons rushed into the basket with a pick-and-roll by Zubatz, and after passing Harrell, he flew to the rim.
However, at this moment, Kuzma did not know when to recover the basket, and quickly stood near a reasonable collision area.
Simmons couldn't brake and hit him directly. UU reading books
Kuzma was knocked to the ground.
The referee sounds a whistle to signal Simmons' offensive foul!
Kuzma was still lying on the ground, and when he saw the referee's gesture, he struck the floor hard and couldn't help yelling.
Others may not know it, but in fact there is a strong connection between him and Simmons.
Because his current girlfriend Jenna is the ex-girlfriend of Simmons.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jenna did not come to the scene to watch the ball.
But Kuzma knew Jenna must be watching the broadcast.
The competition between men is not only length, diameter or time, but also direct confrontation on the field.
Simmons jumped up to the referee and questioned, signaling that Kuzma was in the reasonable collision zone.
The scene was also booing.
The referee replayed the video under pressure.
Replays showed Kuzma standing outside the reasonable collision zone and standing still.
The bottom line referee's decision was accurate.
Kuzma has been pulled up, and after seeing the referee confirm the penalty, he stretched out his hand and punched him.
The old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, he deserves more of Jenna than Simmons.
The Pelicans' frontcourt offense is also the last offense of the game.
Alexander continued to make points to Kuzma, and Durant made a terrible shot.
Kuzma stunned a shot and broke through directly. After attracting the flanking defense, he chose to pass to the bottom corner.
Green received the ball, a very good three-pointer.
He adjusted it, and the whistle in this quarter shot.
In the nervous expression of the fans at the scene.
"Oh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
Green's three-pointer is also available!
From Carter Gasol to substitute Kuzma Green, the Pelicans fired across the board, which was a buff for the whole team!
