jump ball.
Okur and Gasol's jump ball.
Gasol's long wingspan has an advantage, and he allocated the ball to Walton.
Walton gave the ball to Zhou Hang.
As Zhou Hang advanced with the ball, the atmosphere in the Staples Arena was gradually ignited, and the momentum of the fans rose.
Delong looked at Zhou Hang with sharp eyes, and Delong dared not underestimate this opponent.
The pre-match scouting report and the current technical statistics of the playoffs scoring leader have made it clear that Zhou Hang is terrible.
Deron's defense was very good. After Zhou Hang went to the frontcourt, he didn't play singles rashly, but first gave the ball to Kobe on the right.
Kobe held the ball to observe, and Zhou Hang started to move.
Deron has been chasing and defending Zhou Hang. Ronnie Brewer is defending Kobe. Ronnie Brewer is 2 meters tall. He is a good outside defender. Kobe doesn't like to play hard at the beginning. He hangs the ball to the inside Pau Gasol.
Boozer desperately pushed Gasol out, and Okur also took the opportunity to come over and attack. He opened his hand to block the line of Gasol's internal pass.
Gasol can only shoot the ball to Zhou Hang's position on the oblique side.
Deron's defense is very high.
After Zhou Hang received the ball, he immediately sped up and rushed towards the right. If it was an ordinary defender, he might not be able to defend Zhou Hang in this position, but Deron's defensive footsteps moved very quickly, and he kept up with Zhou Hang's. The first step is to move laterally to block Zhou Hang's progress.
Zhou Hang had a fierce physical confrontation with Delong, Zhou Hang dribbled the ball back, and the ball was about to be fouled again.
Delong also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Hang's physical strength exceeded his expectations. He thought that the resistance of the yellow defender would be slightly weaker, but it turned out to be completely different.
When the breakthrough was blocked, Zhou Hang faced Delong and began to dribble continuously under the crotch.
The attack time is only 5 seconds away, Zhou Hang is still looking for a rhythm, and the fans in the Staples Arena are watching very anxiously.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhou Hang's dribbling is fast and slow, left and right.
Without shaking off Deron, Zhou Hang stepped back to the three-point line and forced a jumper.
Zhou Hang played the ball very unreasonably, relying on his height higher than Delong to force the shot.
The retreat step is a very buggy technique, even if there is no space, it can forcefully create a gap between the two of them.
The Zen master off the court watched Zhou Hang's strong play very calmly. He was used to Zhou Hang's three-point shots in any way.
Fans at Staples Center covered their mouths and watched the ball.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc in the air.
"Boom!!!"
"frame!"
"Shh!"
The buzzer hit the inner edge of the basket and scored.
0:3.
The friction sound of the basketball and the net is very pleasant.
Zhou Hang quickly returned to defense to celebrate.
Zhang Weiping shouted: "Zhou Hang's shot is very unreasonable, but this is Zhou Hang's characteristic ball. He just managed to score. Deron feels uncomfortable."
The fans also immediately cheered for Zhou Hang's wonderful strong play.
The screams continued.
Barkley shouted: "Zhou Hang's step-back three-pointer is very sharp, he can forcefully open the space between himself and the defender with this move."
Smith shouted: "This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Hang replaced Fisher as the starter. The presence of Zhou Hang can make the Lakers' No. 1 position full of attack power, thus creating more space for Kobe and the inside position."
On the field, Kobe also gave Zhou Hang a high-five to celebrate.
Delong looked at Zhou Hang's back and gritted his teeth, so that he could still be thrown in. Delong felt a little helpless.
Deron took Okur's serve and pushed forward quickly.
After halftime, Deron quickly found Boozer's screen.
Zhou Hang's pursuit was blocked by Boozer, and Gasol helped defend Deron.
After the pick-and-roll, Deron hit the ground to Boozer, who was running downhill. Zhou Hang's position was very good, and Boozer didn't have a chance to hit the basket directly.
But Wharton left out Kirilenko.
Kirilenko cuts inside.
Odom raised his hands to interfere, Kirilenko threw the ball and used a high board!
The ball feels good.
"knock!"
"Shh!"
The basketball fell into the net with precision.
2:3.
This ball shows the teamwork of the Jazz players.
The Lakers' defense is very good, and the defensive positions are also in place, but they just can't stop Kirilenko.
The Lakers attack again.
Zhou Hang took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Kobe.
Gasol puts Kobe on the pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll Kobe hits Gasol's right side.
Brewer bypassed Gasol's screen, constantly close to Bryant.
Kobe took advantage of his position and went in. The Jazz obviously had a lot of arrangements for Kobe's offense, and they went forward to help defend Kobe.
Kobe is the most important offensive player for the Jazz, and the Jazz will not easily let Kobe score.
Kobe found Zhou Hang in the high-speed confrontation, and he distributed the ball to Zhou Hang on the outside.
After Zhou Hang received the ball, he immediately exploded and passed Deron along the bottom line on the right.
Zhou Hang made a high throw at an almost zero-degree angle.
The ball continued to show Zhou Hang's soft touch.
Kirilenko's block was a beat slower, and the ball fell into the net with precision.
2:5.
Smith shouted: "This throw is very beautiful. Zhou Hang saw AK coming to help defend, so he specially adjusted the arc of the throw."
"It's hard to hit that floater," Barkley said.
In order to make the throw hit, Zhou Hang even lost his balance and fell down.
However, this is Zhou Hang's active fall, which will not cause injury.
Active falls are often also to protect themselves.
Kobe and Gasol pulled Zhou Hang up.
Fans at Staples Center cheered.
The Jazz's defensive strength is obviously stronger than that of the Nuggets, but Zhou Hang's performance has not been affected too much.
"Zhou Hang is amazing."
"Facing AK, you can make throws like this."
"I thought Zhou Hang was going to be blocked."
"Come on Lakers, avenge McGrady."
The Jazz's offense is back.
Deron dribbles to the frontcourt.
Deron didn't ask for a pick-and-roll this time, but gave the ball to AK.
AK transfers the ball to Okur in the right corner.
Odom was a little slower to keep up with the ball.
Okur's corner three-point shot!
"frame!!"
Okur's [-]-pointer hits the rim.
Gasol did not get stuck, and Boozer got the offensive rebound.
Boozer wanted to make a layup, but he didn't notice Zhou Hang behind him.
Zhou Hang jumped high and directly gave Boozer a big hat that blocks the sky and the sun! !
"boom!"
Zhou Hang blocked the ball to Kobe.
Kobe dribbles forward at high speed.
In the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant passed one-on-one and returned to the defense. Deron easily scored a layup.
Deron is very smart, defending Kobe without meaningless fouls, it is easy to be beaten by Kobe as two plus one.
2:7.
Zhang Weiping shouted: "Good hat, Zhou Hanggai is beautiful, just seal him like this, play with him, don't be polite to him!"
Xu Jicheng shouted: "The defense provided by Zhou Hang can now also cover the inside line."
