Chapter 286: Fight to the end with the Nuggets

In the first quarter of the game, Braun and King Gigi-Reggie Jackson did not get a chance to play.

But in the second quarter, the two of them took advantage of Li Kaiwen and other Lakers' main players to take a break. Each of them hit a three-pointer, and in the blink of an eye they helped the Suns narrow the point difference to 4 points!
In fact, Rivers, who came off the bench, was already working very hard to defend Braun.

But this white guy moved very smartly and was very strong, which made Rivers suffer a lot.

Even his always praised handsomeness pales in comparison to this white guy!
Braun is a native Nuggets rookie. Although he did not score much in regular time in his first year, his three-point shooting percentage was a respectable 35.4% among rookies. In 23, several high-ranking rookies whose selling point was shooting, such as None of the Rockets' Smith and others are as accurate as him.

This year, his three-point shooting percentage has further improved, coupled with his positional attributes that can be used in two or three, it makes people seem to see a youth version of Klay Thompson!

As we all know, teams that want to achieve results generally do not choose to train newcomers. Instead of spending time to tolerate their mistakes, it is better to directly find a few mature veterans on the market to fill the remaining playing time of the main force.

But Braun knew exactly what he had to do. When he got on the court, he defended at all costs, rushed for rebounds, and made pie-eating shots.

Dribbling, organization...he doesn't even look at it, he just wants to make it 3D, and even the King of Heaven can't change his mind!

For a 3D swingman like him, as long as he can maintain this year's level and continue to grow, there will definitely be a lot of sub-teams coming to grab him with money after the rookie contract ends next year.

The sudden bursts of Braun and Reggie Jackson stabilized the nearly collapsed Nuggets, which also bought Jokic, who was both a father and a mother, a few precious minutes of rest in the first quarter.

After all the Nuggets' main players returned in the second half of the second quarter, coach Malone still chose to hold Pope down and continued to let Braun partner with Murray in the backcourt.

Although this young man couldn't keep up with Li Kaiwen's speed, he relied on his concentration and high fighting spirit to give Li Kaiwen, who had a smooth first quarter, a headache.

In addition, on the offensive end, he also stole a few three-pointers from time to time and made two or three air cuts with Jokic's support. The Nuggets' offense was suddenly revitalized.

At the end of the half, the Nuggets reversed the situation in one fell swoop and gained a 3-point lead!

Jokic is still as strong as ever. Although he failed to get as many offensive rebounds as before due to Zhou Qi's interference today, his 16 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds are still making steady progress towards a triple-double.

Braun scored 8 points in the second quarter and was the biggest contributor to the Nuggets' reversal of the score.

Of course, everyone on the Lakers performed quite well.

Zhou Qi made his debut in the NBA playoffs for the first time, and he faced the player recognized as the No. 1 player in the NBA today.

He didn't stretch his hips. With him guarding the basket today, Jokic's unique skills of rushing for offensive rebounds and quick point shots were immediately ineffective.

Zhou Qi turned his offense into a one-shot deal. If he advances, he will advance. If he doesn't, he will have to watch the Lakers counterattack.

At halftime, Zhou Qi's 5 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block were pretty good.

Zhou Qi's performance did not live up to Hamm's expectations, but it made Shelby, who only played 5 minutes today, a little embarrassed.

Nima...

Could it be that the losses in the first three games were really my fault?

At the same time, Anthony Davis finally swept away the decline in the previous game and scored a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds at halftime.
而李凯文则稳步发挥，用10分7助攻4篮板2抢断1盖帽1失误填满了数据栏上的每一行空缺。

This is Lao Li's principle, the ball must be won, and Excel must win even more!

Otherwise, he is the defender who looks most like LeBron!

Although Li Kevin's personal score in the second quarter was blocked by Braun with a tough foul, his passing still led the Lakers to make wonderful counterattacks again and again.However, the Lakers fell behind by 3 points after halftime, which made Reggie Miller, who always hates "rich teams", very frustrated:

"Paul, did I tell you? I admit that Kevin Li is an excellent defender. The Nuggets' personal defense alone cannot limit his performance."

"If the team managers can have their eyes opened, I believe that Li Kaiwen will defeat Bunyama and become the number one pick in the 23 draft."

Of course, anyone who is familiar with Reggie Miller knows that this old boy who wanted to do evil things to Jordan back then, how could he sincerely flatter others!

Pau Gasol was about to echo, but he changed the subject and said:
"But even if this happens, Li Kaiwen will not be able to lead the team to win this game."

"Jokic is unstoppable, and the Nuggets crushed the Lakers in terms of talent."

"Accept the reality, today is your home team's last game of the season."

"Kevin Li and Anthony Davis played so well, but the Lakers are still lagging behind. The playoffs are really not as easy as he thought!"

During the halftime break, several Penguin Sports hosts almost all held the same views as Reggie Miller.

In G4, with a big score of 0 to 3, they entered the second half with a disadvantage. The Lakers allowed the Nuggets to win by 13 points in a single quarter!
And this was only achieved when Murray only scored 6 points.

In the second half, he will definitely break out and score more than ten points at a certain period of time, bringing his score to 20 tonight.

Everyone knows that he has this ability.

I don’t know if the Lakers can withstand it at that time!

In the first three games the Lakers lost, at the end of the half of G2 and G3, the Lakers were even leading.

But even so, in the end they were unable to withstand the Nuggets' offense in the fourth quarter and were taken away in a wave.

What's more, we were still behind at halftime today!

People are still not optimistic about the Lakers, but Kevin Li is full of confidence.

He didn't feel complacent because he firmly suppressed Jamal Murray. He really wanted to win today.

He doesn't want to welcome the summer vacation with a score of 0-4, and he doesn't want to see the fans at the Lakers' home court leave disappointed.

So before the start of the half-time game, Li Kaiwen called everyone to the center of the locker room and encouraged everyone to raise their hands and cheer!

"Guys, this is Los Angeles, this is our home."

"Do those bastards from Denver think that a three-point lead will make us surrender?"

"Want to kick us out of our house?"

"Fuxk! Even a man can't stand it!"

"Please cheer me up, there are still 24 minutes of the game to play."

"Today, we will fight them to the bitter end!"
