Chapter 144 Even though we have won(1/3)
The last quarter of the game started, and Zhang Zhiyuan did not hesitate to use the props, the king of the final quarter.
[King of the last quarter, S level, only available in the fourth quarter, after use, shooting stability is 10%, shooting rate is 10%, steal success rate is 20%, physical recovery is 30%. 】
The Hornets attacked, and with high morale, they continued to play wonderful cooperation. Paul broke through and passed from the back. Peja in the bottom corner took the ball and hit a three-pointer.
101 vs. 88, the situation became more serious, and some Zhang fans also lost their composure and began to become nervous.
"hateful."
Kobe kicked the wardrobe so hard that it caused him to grit his teeth in pain.
During the critical period when he was trying to win 73 games, he was actually sent off. This was something he couldn't accept.
Seeing his team falling behind by a huge margin, he felt infinite regret.
73 wins, this is the only statistic that he can surpass Jordan.
If he misses it, it will be a lifelong regret for him.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan moved and Peja was completely unable to keep up.
His physical strength declined severely, but Zhang Zhiyuan replenished his physical strength.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan easily received the pass, but Peterson blocked him.
There was only one Peterson, and Zhang Zhiyuan took action without hesitation.
Peterson jumped to interfere and the ball went in.
101 to 91.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but cheer.
The team is still scoring points and retaining hope of winning.
The Hornets counterattacked, and Peja wanted to repeat his old tricks, but Zhang Zhiyuan followed him and refused to give him a chance.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhiyuan was too busy. Paul saw that Peja was being guarded and immediately passed the ball to Peterson.
Peterson made a mid-range jump shot, but unfortunately the ball missed.
This is the difference between ordinary players and stars, the ability to seize opportunities is poor.
Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound and then took off for a second dunk, teasing Bynum again.
103 to 91.
"Oh, the Hornets have gained momentum, and now the Lakers are in trouble."
Zhang Lili commented.
Leading the score and scoring goals one after another, the morale of the Hornets players was high.
Fortunately, the Lakers' morale is not low.
They were all affected by Zhang Zhiyuan's temperament. Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan was not yelling in a hurry, they were not in a hurry either.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to rely on speed to get rid of Peja.
Peterson is still defending, Zhang Zhiyuan continues to shoot.
With the blessing of shooting stability and a bonus to hit rate, this kind of shooting is too simple for Zhang Zhiyuan.
The ball goes in.
103 to 94, the score difference returned to single digits.
"Oh, wow, two tough three-pointers in a row."
Smith.
"I'm just saying, the Lakers can reverse this."
Buckley laughed.
The Hornets attacked, and I don't know if they were affected by Zhang Zhiyuan's momentum, but they failed to score in this attack.
"Defend, defend."
Scott yelled from the audience, mainly Peja.
Being thrown away by Zhang Zhiyuan twice in a row was really undeserved.
However, this is definitely not because Peja doesn’t work hard, he really can’t keep up.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan trying to avoid him again, Peja quickly moved sideways to try to stop him.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan changed direction, Peja had nothing to do. After all, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't have the ball in his hands at this time and his movement was very easy.
Peja continued to chase, trying to interfere.
Paul was also very smart. He stopped guarding Fisher's breakthroughs and shots and concentrated on guarding Fisher's passes.
Because he knew that Fisher would definitely pass the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan at this time.
If Fisher doesn't pass, let him shoot the two-pointer.
Paul's guess was very accurate. Fisher immediately passed the ball after seeing Zhang Zhiyuan get rid of Peja.
At this time, a big hand appeared from the sky, touched the basketball, and Paul completed the steal.
"Shet."
Lakers fans couldn't help but yell. This steal just interrupted the Lakers' scoring momentum. It was so disgusting.
The Hornets counterattacked and West hit a mid-range jumper.
105 to 94.
"The Lakers have no chance. The Hornets are very tenacious now and they will not give the Lakers a chance."
espn commentary commented.
Another guest did not agree because he did not want to be slapped in the face by Zhang Zhiyuan.
No chance?
He felt that he needed to see it again.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan still moved. Fisher's pass was much more stable this time and Paul was not intercepted.
However, being prudent often means missing opportunities.
By the time Zhang Zhiyuan received the ball, Peja had already caught up in time and caught him with Peterson on the left and right.
Zhang Zhiyuan pulled out his hand and leaned back a little to prevent being blocked.
This kind of difficult shot is generally difficult to hit, but this is for others.
The ball was scored, Zhang Zhiyuan made three of three shots, and his personal score reached 40 points.
105 to 96.
In the locker room, Kobe said nothing.
It was very painful for him when the team fell behind just now, and now he is very painful when the team is chasing points, because Zhang Zhiyuan is soaring points again.
He knew that after this game, Zhang Zhiyuan's score would catch up with his.
What makes him even more uncomfortable is that he still can't find an excuse to comfort himself.
Originally, when his score was low just now, he could be said to have been double-teamed and targeted. But now Zhang Zhiyuan is also being double-teamed and targeted, but Zhang Zhiyuan keeps scoring.
This contrast is so obvious that Kobe can't even deceive himself or others.
"It looks like he's trying to turn the tide again."
Smith vaguely felt that Zhang Zhiyuan was in an explosive state.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Barkley originally wanted to say, 'Sure enough, only Kobe can guard Zhang Zhiyuan,' but he held back the words.
Kobe is already very pitiful, there is no need to add salt to other people's wounds.
The Hornets attacked, Paul passed the ball to Peja, and Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly jumped out to steal the ball.
His hand touched the basketball, and then when he saw that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, he fished the ball back.
The fast break opportunity was gone, but at least the ball was obtained.
The Hornets fans couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts, they smelled something bad.
The Lakers attacked, but Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed before he could catch the ball.
Fisher passed the ball to Ariza, who took an open shot and missed.
Now the fans were speechless.
Ariza is a player they both love and hate.
As a substitute player, Ariza's defense is definitely adequate and his firepower is not bad, but he is unstable at critical moments.
The Hornets players breathed a sigh of relief, and Paul gestured to his teammates to slow down and stabilize the situation.
To be continued...
