Kobe scored 25 points in the half. As the Lakers' only super perimeter player, his half-time score was the highest among all players on both teams.

The Lakers' three big men finished the half with Gasol with 9 points, 1 assist and 4 rebounds, Odom with 7 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Yao Ming with 11 points, 2 blocks and 3 rebounds.

The performance of the Lakers' four major stars has exploded. The four of them scored 52 points.

This was even better than the Lakers' performance when Liu Mang watched the Lakers play the Warriors the day before yesterday.

But the Hawks still dominated the Lakers!

The three eagles have beaten the second one, and the third eagle continues to go into battle after the intermission!

The lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Tracy McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown appears!

Three Eagles come together! Two of the strongest insiders are added!

As coach Kruger expected, Yao Ming took a break just after half the second half of the second quarter, and re-assigned the inside combination of Odom, Gasol, and Wang Zhizhi, and the outside combination, referred to as "Tieke"

The iron man Kobe Bryant continues to play, and Claxton retired after winning the championship last season. This is still very hurt for the Lakers, so they can only send their second-round pick Gavaris Christian to play point guard.

"Gavaris Christian, ability evaluation 62, offense 69, defense 59, three-pointer 67, mid-range shot 64, layup 83, speed 90, strength 79..."

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Liu Mang saw the opponent's point guard Christian advancing forward. When Liu Mang was studying the Lakers, he also noticed this Lakers' third point guard. He noticed this rookie because he was his alumnus from Georgia Tech.

A produced NBA player, he was quite a famous defender in Atlanta last season.

In fact, he is considered a combo guard. He is a fairly "balanced" rookie. He basically has no outstanding advantages. He has good physical fitness, can jump and jump, and wants to participate in the slam dunk contest. It may be considered a strength, but in fact he has a very weak and balanced body.

A high-quality guard, he was pretty good in college, relying on his physical fitness and all-round performance, but in the NBA, he is very average.

But he's only 19, so he might be able to improve.

But there is no information about this alumnus in Liu Mang’s memory...

Lakers first offense!

Kobe Bryant's single three-pointer from outside the three-point line. Marion is now focusing on defense and blocking, keeping an eye on Odom and blocking Odom who wants to rush for the rebound. Liu Mang uses two big inside defenders to block the ball.

Good defensive rebounding.

Kobe Bryant has a career-high field goal percentage of 47% this season. He happens to be averaging 20 shots per game, which means he can make between 9 and 10 shots per game. It takes at least a lot of iron to score one.

one.

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to McGrady.

McGrady got the ball!

In the first half, McGrady scored 8 points on 3 of 7 mid-range shots and free throws. With two players on the team already scoring at least 20 points, McGrady's performance in the first half was already excellent.

Now that McGrady has the ball, the Lakers' defensive focus unconsciously tilts toward McGrady.

There is no way, the Hawks are too monster, Liu Mang and Jason Terry each scored at least 20 points in a single quarter. If McGrady comes in the third quarter, they will be better than the Lakers, and their mentality will completely collapse.

Actually... McGrady is quite tired now.

Originally planning to use McGrady and Marion to take turns guarding Kobe, due to Odom's outbreak, Marion had to guard Odom, and Grant Hill's defense against Kobe was not effective this time, and he was forced to guard Odom.

In fact, even Marion couldn't guard Odom, but he was relatively better.

McGrady had to continue to guard against Kobe Bryant in the second half. In fact, he no longer had any extra energy to spend on the offensive end. McGrady only held the ball to pass the ball!

When the Lakers focused their defensive attention on Tracy McGrady, who they felt was starting to get angry, Liu Mang used the Kwame Brown pick-and-roll to get a shooting opportunity on the right baseline!

McGrady didn't even enter the three-point line. He just put on a triple-threat stance and immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang.

Odom and Gasol came towards Liu Mang. Liu Mang passed the ball to the basket and made a beautiful second pass. Kwame Brown turned back to the basket to catch the ball and dunk for two points.

73 to 67, the point difference was once again widened to more than 5 points!

In this round, Jackson and even the three core players of Kobe, Gasol and Odom on the opponent's court could feel that the Hawks wanted to take advantage of their emphasis on Tracy McGrady to create opportunities for others.

But they felt it, and they didn't dare to underestimate McGrady, who was the scoring champion that year! McGrady will only turn 29 in May next summer. McGrady is at his peak. McGrady once averaged a triple-double in the Finals.

With two eagles flying, Tracy McGrady's threat is too great.

The Lakers can only rely on the combination of Kobe and Gasol and Odom, who has been breaking out for a long time today, to chase points.

In fact, the Lakers were only 6 points behind. They had the strength to catch up. No, in the fourth minute of the third quarter, with Odom's three-pointer, Kobe and Gasol connected.

Er dunked and scored two points. The Lakers went on a 7-3 run, narrowing the point difference to 1 point in one fell swoop when they were only 5 points away.

Then... Jason Terry, who only made two field goals in the first four minutes of the third quarter, came again...

McGrady is responsible for attracting defense and organizing offense to help Liu Mang get assists or help Liu Mang score. McGrady is so talented. He imitates Rondo's style of play so well that Rondo on the sidelines has an expression on his face.

Liu Mang was responsible for scoring and setting passes. By the second minute of the third quarter, he had already scored 25 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Paired with Marion and Kwame Brown, the main role of the Maimang combination so far in the third quarter is to maintain the continuity of regular scoring. Liu Mang's stability, McGrady's passing, and Boomer's inside combination have allowed the Eagles to

It has maintained a slight lead.

When the Lakers started to hit a climax and were about to overtake the score, Jason Terry, who had been saving up his big move for a few minutes, scored another three-pointer at the critical moment!

Seven consecutive three-pointers!

Jason Terry tied Liu Mang's record of seven consecutive three-pointers for the third-highest number in team history!

"Here we go again! It's him every time!"

Lakers players were stunned by Jason Terry's wild three-pointer again!

It's like this every time. Every time it comes to a critical round, Jason Terry will make a move.

This reminded the Lakers players of the oppressive feeling they had when facing Liu Mang in the 2005-06 season finals when he scored 50 points in the finals!

Coach Kruger, who was standing nervously on the sidelines, saw the Lakers calling a timeout and touched his forehead, which stretched to nowhere. Jason Terry's three-pointer decided the trend of the game!

…

After returning from the timeout, the Hawks just replaced Kwame Brown with Gasol, and the Lakers replaced the strongest five of Odom, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, and Yao Ming.

Fight.

Liu Mang, who has already scored 25 points, and Jason Terry, who has already scored 24 points, have become the focus of attention.

Tracy McGrady's wonderful feeling comes again...Odom guards him...

When Odom is serious, his defense on the outside is close to a first-rate level, but for McGrady, who is only close to a first-rate defense... there is no need to consider whether he is tired or not, he can just take three steps closer to the basket and shoot!

Instead of confronting Yao Ming in the paint and conserving energy, McGrady would shoot in the mid-range or throw from the edge of the three-second zone, avoiding contact with the opponent's big man.

Both Liu Mang and Jason Terry are feeling great, especially Jason Terry who hit 7 three-pointers in a row. The Lakers can only use Gasol to help defend McGrady, and Marion can fight Liu Mang.

The pick-and-roll was set, Liu Mang received McGrady's pass and Gasol was flanked by Gasol, and his scoring and assists continued again.

No matter how hard he defended Liu Mang, Liu Mang could maintain stable scoring and assists. The Three Eagles, who were in excellent condition today, led the Eagles to keep the pressure on the Lakers!

The Lakers have played very well. Odom had a near triple-double with 11 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists after three quarters. Yao Ming had 17 points, Gasol had 12-10, and Kobe also had a triple-double after three quarters.

38 points.

The Lakers even scored 97 points in three quarters.

But the Eagles scored 105 points after three quarters!

In the third quarter, the Eagles and Lakers scored 34 to 30!

Liu Mang had 31 points, 16 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks in three quarters!

105 to 97, the Eagles led by 8 points entering the fourth quarter!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, McGrady and Liu Mang went to rest, and the lineup of Rondo, Jason Terry, Wade, Grant Hill, and Kwame Brown came up to hold on for a while.

The Eagles are ready to play at the critical moment, and the 8-point advantage gives Coach Kruger some confidence.

The Lakers only sent out two core players, Odom and Kobe. Anfernee Hardaway and Barnes partnered with Kobe on the outside, and Wang Zhizhi partnered with Odom on the inside.

The Lakers want to rely on left-handed Magic and small-handed Jordan to hold on to the score and play the critical moment in the end.

but……

In the second half of the third quarter, Jason Terry made 0 of 2 three-pointers, interrupting his consecutive three-pointers. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he received a pass from Rondo and hit a three-pointer...

108 to 97, the point difference only took 11 seconds at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and suddenly it opened to more than 10 points, the highest in the game!

Just like in the original time and space when the Lakers played the Mavericks in the second round of the 2010-2011 playoffs, Jason Terry became a nightmare for the Lakers players!

In terms of strength and overall performance in this game, Jason Terry is obviously far inferior to Liu Mang, but this kind of ball that demoralizes the opponent, Jason Terry did a great job today, better than Liu Mang and Kobe.

outstanding!

For example, Kobe would score two or three goals in a row from time to time. Normally, the opponent would collapse. But this time, although Kobe also performed like that from time to time, he was no match for Jason Terry's unexpected three-pointer!

As soon as he came on the court in the fourth quarter, someone so ruthless came!

Jason Terry's seventh three-pointer in the fourth minute of the third quarter determined the trend of the game, and with his first three-pointer in the fourth quarter, Jason Terry helped the Eagles seal the victory!

This time, Zen Master could not save the Lakers' decline. Kobe was right to fight hard, and he also led the Lakers to score 28 points in the fourth quarter and 125 points in the game. However, the Lakers failed in defense.

At the end, they began to unconsciously flank Jason Terry, even without the ball...

After the point difference was widened to 10 points, it was not narrowed to less than 10 points. After the Eagles' lineup of one large and four small players held on for a few minutes, the Eagles again sent out the combination of Three Eagles and Boomer.

Liu Mang only scored 6 points in the fourth quarter, but he had 6 assists in the last 7 minutes of the fourth quarter!
