The Clippers returned to the locker room to rest. After Van Gundy finished his summary, he proposed that the Lakers might use the same five-team lineup from the previous game in the third quarter.

Unlike before, Randolph will replace Jordan as the center. The purpose is to expand the range of shots. With the fast break, the Lakers will not be able to implement a zone attack. However, those who defend Gasol will suffer more and must continue to use zone defense.

After deciding on a countermeasure, the whole team returned to the court, warmed up with simple shots, and prepared to continue playing the game.

Seeing that the Lakers really arranged for Odom to appear early, Van Gundy immediately revised the roster, changing Barnes to the power forward position, and Tucker to the small forward position, taking Davis to continue to play as a substitute.

The starting lineups of the two teams in the second half immediately appeared on the central big screen. After seeing it, the Lakers fans shouted excitedly. It seemed that they had returned to the moment of the third quarter of the last game, thinking that the strongest wave was about to appear.

Amidst the cheers, the Lakers kicked off in the backcourt.

Bryant took the ball across the center line, turned and threw it to the top of the arc, rushed inside and went straight to the short corner on the left.Odom received the ball and then passed to the left wing, Gasol received the ball and passed back to Kobe who ran to the position, directly tearing apart the Clippers' three-two defensive formation.

Odom took the opportunity to run to the right and transferred to the 45-degree three-point line with the help of Artest's cover.At the same time, Kobe passed the ball to Gasol again, and Gasol took the ball and threw it directly to Artest who ran to the top of the arc. The Clippers defense couldn't react.

Odom was in a wide open position on the right wing. He received Artest's basketball and aimed carefully at the basket. He flew to Barnes and made a three-pointer.

Tucker immediately showed hesitation, and immediately hit the ground vigorously a second later, and the basketball bounced to the short corner on the left.Gordon bent down to pick up the basketball, jumped up on the spot and made a mid-range shot with a wide open shot, and hit the net with a bang, which took a total of 4 seconds.

The Lakers twin towers just ran across the center line, then turned and walked back, Kobe caught the ball and advanced quickly.

It was still Odom who took the ball at the top of the arc and then passed it to Gasol on the right wing, but Su Yang had the experience of losing money before, so he switched defenses directly with Barnes, instead of chasing Kobe to the bottom corner, the Clippers' defensive formation was also lacking. tear apart.

The basketball returned to Odom's hands, and he directly slumped his shoulders and slumped into the paint. Facing the encirclement of the three, he stopped, turned and jumped, and forced the ball to the right elbow.Gasol received the ball and took advantage of his height and wingspan to make a strong two-point shot.

The Clippers rushed to attack, Su Yang dribbled the ball to the right 45 degrees, and used Gordon to cover Artest.

Considering that the opponent has a beast physique that broke Jordan's ribs, Su Yang chose to change hands and shake continuously under his crotch. After three times, he confirmed that he had caught the rhythm. He raised his shoulders and pulled the ball decisively.

Artest twisted his hips in a hurry, Su Yang saw it, stopped his movement, joined the ball and pulled it out, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

The basketball crashed into the net and the Clippers led by 18 points.

Bynum picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, raised his hand and passed it to Artest, and the Lakers slowly advanced.

Kobe took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, without any extra movement, directly sinking his shoulders and punching Su Yang.

Perhaps it was due to the long-term single play in the first two quarters that consumed too much physical strength and energy. Kobe failed to break through Su Yang's blockade. He stopped at the free throw line and turned around. He raised his hand and threw the ball to Artest at the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Artest didn't hesitate to catch the ball, as if he was back when he was the boss of the Kings. First, he made three threats and stepped forward to test, followed by Shenshoulders close to the body and forced to rush, and finally pressed against Gordon's defense, and forcibly jumped out of his hand to shoot. .

The referee's whistle blew, followed by the sound of a basketball hitting the hoop and into the net, followed by cheers.

The Lakers coaching staff expressed their dissatisfaction except for Phil and Sr. Winter, but the referee blankly signaled that Randolph's goal was valid, and at the same time gave Bynum an extra chance for a free throw because of a foul.

The whistle sounded in the arena, and Fisher appeared on the stage to replace Bynum, who had 4 fouls.

The Lakers attack, Fisher ran the ball across the center line, handed it to Kobe, and strode into the paint.

Odom received the ball from the right wing and wanted to pass it to Fisher who ran to the bottom corner, but was blocked by Barnes.But when he saw that it was Su Yang who was switching defenses, he resolutely grounded the ball and made a strong attack. Unfortunately, he was stuck in the route as soon as he took a step, and he had no choice but to pass it to Fisher.

This kind of short corner pass corner, unless the target is a super shooter, it is too prone to mistakes.

Seeing this, Su Yang immediately rushed to Fisher, and Barnes teamed up to flank and attack at the same time.

In a hurry, Fisher bent down to protect the ball.

The Lakers did not request a timeout, and three seconds later, the referee whistled for a face-off.

The basketball was transmitted several times, and instead of giving Kobe a singles, Fisher made a strong three-pointer against the defense.Su Yang flew the ball out of bounds, but the referee blew his whistle and called the thug for a foul, giving Fisher three free throw opportunities.

A replay soon appeared on the central screen, showing that Su Yang blocked the shot cleanly, and boos suddenly exploded.

The referee arranged free throws indifferently, and Fisher hit three free throws in a row without blushing.

In the transition between offense and defense, Su Yang led to the top of the arc, hit the ground to Randolph at the left elbow, took advantage of the opportunity to use Barnes to cover and cut in, set up a wall at the short corner on the right to block Kobe, and Gordon took the opportunity to follow the baseline Run to the left.
