Kobe was eager to respond to Chen Yan and missed his running shot when double-teamed!
Entering the overtime period, Kobe clearly felt that it was more difficult to score than in regular time. On the one hand, it was the pressure of defense, and on the other hand, it was the decline in physical fitness.
Fortunately, the Lakers used their inside advantage to grab offensive rebounds, and Garnett made a tip-in!
Garnett didn't celebrate after scoring, not because he didn't want to but because he didn't have the extra energy to celebrate.
Tonight, Garnett performed well on both offense and defense. Naturally, his outstanding performance on both offense and defense cannot be separated from the support of physical fitness.
Looking back, Stoudemire succeeded in attacking the basket head-on!
The Lakers attacked and Fisher hit an open three-pointer!
The Suns were about to start, and Nash took advantage of the screen to chase and hit a three-pointer!
The players on both sides proved with their actions that this game was not just a duel between Chen Yan and Kobe!
The players from both sides worked together to make the game more interesting!
The two sides quickly finished the first overtime, 121 to 121.
"Double overtime is coming!"
"This game is more exciting than imagined!"
"Chen Yan would otherwise not work overtime, but would work two overtime hours in a row, haha!"
"No matter what the final result is, the players of both teams can leave this stadium with their heads held high!"
"The performance of both players was phenomenal!"
"This is called the conference finals. Look at what the Pistons and Cavaliers are playing. Each side scored 70 points in the whole game. I almost fell asleep watching it!"
Fans all over the world are paying attention to this Western Conference Finals!
In the cctv5 studio, Zhang Lijia shouted excitedly: "Another tie! Before the game, no one would have thought that the game would go into the second overtime!"
Yu Jia was also very excited: "Chen Yan scored 2 of 4 in the first overtime, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points. His personal score in a single game has reached 61 points! He is only one short of the NBA playoff single-game scoring record.
Two points!"
Zhang Liyi nodded and took out the statistics prepared for him by the director: "The highest single-game record in the NBA playoffs is 63 points set by Michael Jordan in the 1985-1986 season! The same double overtime, the same
In the battle between old enemies, let us look forward to seeing if Chen Yan can create new history tonight!"
Everyone is looking forward to witnessing new history, except the Lakers players.
If Chen Yan really creates new history, then they will be the number one backdrop.
After a short break, the second overtime begins!
Lakers field lineup: Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Garnett, Kwame Brown.
However, these changes are all passive. James Posey and Laja Bell, the top outside defenders of both sides, were both sent off for fouls. This also reflects the intensity of this game from the side!
‘Zen Master’ Phil Jackson pushed Ariza, who was also a defensive hero, on the other side, Suns coach D’Antoni sent Barnes to deal with Kobe.
D'Antoni believes that sending a tough guy like Barnes on the court in the second overtime will have a surprising effect.
D'Antoni continued the tactics of this game and gave the ball to Chen Yan, who had an incredible touch.
The Suns' first attack in the second overtime, Chen Yan faced Ariza's defense and started singles mode again!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yan kept crossing the ball at the top of the arc.
His dribbling speed has visibly slowed down.
This is normal. After all, this is the second overtime of this game. Even the Man of Steel will be tired.
But slow speed is also relative. Compared with his own pace in the previous quarters, Chen Yan's pace is a bit slower, but it is still one beat faster than Ariza.
Ariza is not a striker who is known for his speed, and his return time was too short. He only came back in this series, so his body is naturally not at 100% condition.
After shaking continuously, Chen Yan stepped on the shooting star and instantly tore apart Ariza's defense!
Near the free throw line, Kobe Bryant defended from the flank, and facing Kobe's defense, Chen Yan made an emergency stop and took a shot!
"Clang!"
The impact of this ball has nothing to do with defense, it is purely due to Chen Yan's declining physical fitness.
The decline in physical strength has led to changes in the arc of the shot, which in turn has changed the hit rate.
The decline in physical fitness will definitely have a certain impact on the shooting percentage. Chen Yan does not care about this. The overtime has just begun and he must cheer up.
"Defend! Defend!"
After failing to score from the mid-range, Chen Yan immediately called on his teammates to retreat and defend.
Failure to score on offense means that the defense has to work harder.
Looking back, Kobe also missed the mid-range shot.
In the second overtime, the first few shots taken by Chen Yan and Kobe were all on the front line, which was a sign of lack of physical strength.
The other players of both teams were also full of fatigue. Neither side made any achievements in the second overtime for two minutes. The situation looked very struggling!
Both sides are almost out of ammunition and food, and every step is a torment for the players on the court!
With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, Kobe found Fisher with a sudden score!
‘Old Fish’ missed his shot from outside!
It’s true that Fisher is a big-time player, but he can’t hit key goals every time.
After Diaw protected the defensive rebound, he did not pass the ball immediately. Having discerned the opportunity for a fast break, he took a step forward and sent a pass, directly looking for Chen Yan near the sideline of the center circle!
The sun is advancing very quickly this round!
For the Lakers, Garnett and Ariza have retreated to the defensive half.
Barnes, who came on as a substitute, ran down quickly, taking away Ariza's defense and helping Chen Yan share the defensive pressure.
One step within three points, Chen Yan and Garnett formed a 1v1 confrontation.
Facing Garnett's defense, Chen Yan first made a quick change of direction!
Before the ball reached his right hand, Chen Yan quickly thrust his right foot forward to the right!
The moment the ball reaches your right hand!
Take a quick step forward with your left foot.
When the ball arrives, stop!
The moment Chen Yan made the misdirection change, he collected the ball at the same time and strode in the opposite direction!
Chen Yan's change of direction misled the European step and directly pinned Garnett's tired legs in place!
Welcome to the frozen realm!
Garnett was frozen in place like an ice sculpture!
Shaking Garnett behind him, Chen Yan lifted his finger and easily completed the finish.
Breaking the deadlock on the court and scoring his 63rd personal point!
