After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game returned for the second half. The main players from both sides continued to play music and then played again.
When the third quarter started, the Thunder had the ball first.
"Another reckless play, Westbrook rushed in, and Sessions, who was fighting and retreating, couldn't withstand it. Artest helped defend and jumped out again.
Westbrook didn't make any waves. He passed the ball to the empty Durant, took a step forward with the ball, pulled out the ball and shot..."
Artest wiped Sessions's butt and was ready to hear the gunshot: I bet you don't have bullets in your two-point pistol!
Swish——!
Wrong guess, Durant has bullets in his pistol.
46 to 66!
The point difference widened to 20 points.
Subei was very good offensively, but began to struggle defensively.
"Kobe was three threats, found a flaw, and easily passed Su Bei.
Without waiting for the Thunder's defense to come over, Yang Shou made a picturesque pull-up jumper and a two-point fadeaway shot..."
Su Bei was already very generous and didn't even extend his hand.
It's just a pity that the basket didn't give face and refused Kobe's goal.
Bang-dang——!
Four Yangs transformed into three irons!
“The strike missed and missed!
When it's time to chase points, Kobe doesn't have the mid-range that he's best at.
The Lakers desperately need to score, but can't hit the basket. How to break this situation?
In addition, the point guard position has been undervalued. They don’t know how to solve this problem, so how can they solve it..."
If you can't attack, you can't defend!
The Lakers continue to collapse...
The only thing I thought about was that there was still a lot of time left for them.
Off the field, Jackson Jackson had no cards in his hand and continued to sleep, letting the players find ways to break these two situations!
"Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Kobe switched defense, and Sessions followed Su Bei.
The formation was spread out, but Westbrook did not turn over and chose to play by himself.
He started to accelerate and forcefully broke through Kobe. Kobe followed closely and pulled the ball for a layup. Kobe still followed closely. When Gasol came to help defend, Westbrook continued to meet the man and he shot... No, look. There was no room at the basket, so he threw the basketball away.
From the right three-point corner, Su Bei took the ball, stepped out of the three-point line, raised the ball, and hit Sessions who rushed to block the shot. He collected the ball, moved laterally, dribbled the ball through, and entered the two-point line. Inside, I raised my hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei steadily scored two points.
“Too stable!
Su Bei's goal is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting!
He didn't gamble on the feel of the three-point shot, but shortened the shooting distance to improve his shooting percentage.
Such a sloppy and steady scoring is simply a disaster for the Lakers who want to chase points.
In addition, the Thunder still play Sessions, and they continue to succeed!
However, the Lakers are ready to make no substitutions and want to fight to the end..."
46 to 68!
The score difference changed to 22 points.
Needless to say, there is still something in Phil Jackson's vision.
Knowing that Sessions couldn't handle the point guard position, and the Lakers couldn't handle it in the series, there was no time to wait for him to adapt.
At this time, the situation of the Lakers cannot be said to be exactly the same as the situation against the Pistons in the 2004 Finals, it can only be very similar.
Looking back, Sessions passed halftime and immediately handed the ball to Kobe to play.
Su Bei continued to release the snake.
"After Kobe passed the ball, he immediately broke through with the ball. Su Bei fought and retreated.
Hey, Westbrook came to help defend, and together with Su Bei, they flanked Kobe.
The only variable for the Lakers now is Kobe. The Thunder's double attack tactic is very reasonable. It depends on how Kobe chooses, whether to go up himself or let his teammates go up.
Kobe chose to trust his teammates and handed the basketball to Sessions, who broke through with the ball and then made an open two-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came out, but unfortunately, Sessions' shot failed.
The defense was blown away all night, and his mentality was long gone.
However, he couldn't understand why head coach Jackson kept him on the court.
There was a time when Payton couldn't figure out why he was left on the court after he was blown away.
The Thunder didn't give him much time to ask why!
"Su Bei got the rebound and immediately rushed up with the ball. Kobe forced him to grab it. As he was going, he immediately distributed the ball to Westbrook and continued to advance with the ball.
After halftime, then there was music, then reckless dribbling, and the Lakers retreated to the basket.
Peng——!
With a back-up pass, Westbrook actually had such skill, sending the basketball to Durant's hands outside the left three-point line. He caught the ball, shot a jumper, and shot a three-point pull-up jumper... …”
Artest didn't expect that Durant would be so unreasonable. He could obviously break through with the ball, get to the basket, and score a solid two-pointer.
As a result, Durant chose to take the risk. He had no choice but to listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
“The three-pointer hit the net!
This ball is heart-breaking. Durant plays like the leading scorer. Give him space and he can chop you with a sickle. He will come like death. What are you going to do with it..."
You can't stand it.
46 to 71!
The point difference became 25 points!
Durant hit the ball, and the stadium cheered with "mvp!"
mvp!
"The cry.
The suspense of the game has ended.
The look on Kobe's face showed that he hadn't given up yet.
Mo's emotional coldness was already on his face.
"Relax, the series has just begun!" Su Bei said something nice when they were facing each other.
Kobe doesn't appreciate it!
Kobe's breakthrough with the ball was like passing through Northern Jiangsu in the early morning streets!
"Subei's defense was penetrated, Kobe went in, Westbrook continued to leave Sessions open, helped defend, and Yin Baka also pounced.
Emergency stop, dry pull, Kobe shot..."
Bang-dang——!
The basketball shot went wide, showing his talent as a blacksmith.
"still none!
Kobe's state is also very unstable, and none of his other teammates can step up to share the scoring.
It's too difficult. The strength gap between the Lakers and Thunder seems to be wider than imagined.
Just like the 2011 semifinals, the Mavericks were obviously very optimistic about the Lakers before the game, but the Mavericks finished without any advantage. Who would have thought that the Lakers suddenly collapsed.
The Thunder got the rebound and continued to rush with the ball. Even if they were interrupted and forced to stop, Westbrook continued to dribble past Sessions.
Unable to withstand it, Westbrook rushed to the basket. In the end, it was impossible to reach the bottom. Gasol helped to sweep over, but Westbrook did not wave, and casually sent the basketball into the sky..."
Bang-dang——!
Perkins dunked with both hands, his whole body hanging on the basket, and easily scored two points.
46 to 73!
The point difference became 27 points!
"With a 9-0 shock wave, the Thunder beat the Lakers to a pulp.
The tactics remain the same. Sessions' name is always mentioned. Westbrook breaks through to score the ball, attracts the defense, and then assists his teammates to attack.
A very simple breakout tactic, but an unsolvable problem..."
The defense has no thought, and the Lakers have only one way to attack Huashan.
However, Kobe's condition is very stretched.
“Faced with Jiangsu Bei’s defense, he shot a two-point pull-up jumper...
Have it?
Bang-dang——!
The iron was struck again, and Kobe's touch was still not online.
Hey, Bynum grabbed the offensive rebound, pushed Yin Baka under the basket, completed a two-handed slam dunk, made a second assist, and scored the basketball..."
48 to 73!
The Lakers finally opened up their scoring account with their advantage in rebounding.
However, the Lakers were not happy in the next game.
"It was Westbrook's breakthrough again. A layup caused a foul on Kobe's defender, and he got two free throw opportunities..."
Bang-dang——!
Swish——!
1 of 2, the Lakers made a profit.
Kobe automatically dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Su Bei pressed hard, Westbrook flanked him, and Sessions continued to act like a crouching dragon and a young phoenix. His open jump shot still missed.
"It's amazing that the Lakers still didn't put that damn Sessions on the floor.
He was constantly being beaten, missing open shots, unable to score, unable to defend, and yet he was allowed to play. The Lakers deserved to have their game ruined.
The Thunder counterattacked, Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, broke through, and distributed the ball...
When Su Bei got the ball, he was one step away from the three-point line. He was unreasonable. He raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...
Swish——!
Still on target!
The Thunder's offense never missed a beat in the third quarter.
Attack Sessions in position, charge back and shoot indiscriminately, but you still can't stand it..."
48 to 76!
The point difference became 28 points!
…
"Kobe hit Su Bei with his back, but Westbrook helped defend.
Kobe avoided Westbrook's steal, but Su Bei's opportunity came. He reached out to steal the ball, and then immediately counterattacked with the ball. Only the basket was left in front of him...
Bang-dang——!
Subei counterattacked and scored 5 points in a row!
"
…
"Su Bei received Westbrook's pass, took the ball to challenge Sessions, and went to the basket. Seeing Artest coming to defend him, he did not waste any time and passed the ball out to the outside. Durant was outside the three-point line and was empty. Yes, he ejaculated...
Swish——!
Still on target!
Three points into the net!
The Thunder are playing like crazy, scoring points offensively, and being numb..."
…
In the third quarter of the game, the Thunder's offense was as if they were in a no-man's land, with all the people on the field and full firepower, like the autumn wind sweeping leaves, beating the Lakers with a score of 39 to 24.
At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 103 to 70, and the Thunder had a 33-point lead.
Westbrook made 4 of 4 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 9 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in the third quarter, showing his superstar qualities.
Durant made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 13 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds, playing in death mode.
Subei made 3 of 4 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds. In the third quarter, the Big Three scored a combined 31 points, which was simply terrifying.
In the third quarter, Kobe made 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 10 points. Just looking at the data, it was pretty good.
If Matt Barnes hadn't forced two three-pointers, the Lakers might have been even worse.
The so-called inside advantage of the Lakers cannot be used, and when they encounter the Thunder, which is going crazy, it will only be a big deal.
After three quarters, Kobe and Bynum clocked out.
The Thunder were also very generous. They scored 2 and the Thunder scored 5. The starting five all clocked out. After all, the series was just the beginning.
The fourth quarter was just a formality.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 127 to 98. The Thunder slaughtered the Lakers with 29 points, scored the first victory, and took a 1-0 lead.
Westbrook became the most handsome boy. He played 27 minutes, made 10 of 15 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 27 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds, a super triple-double performance, and beat Session. Si is the biggest contributor to the Thunder's win tonight.
Du Shao played 28 minutes, making 8 of 16 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 26 points, 5 assists, and 8 rebounds. He only played three quarters, showing his style as the scoring leader.
Su Shao made 10 of 15 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 30 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds. He did not hinder the king and bomb combination. His performance was just okay, just average.
Bynum made 7 of 12 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 20 points and 14 rebounds. He had a double-double performance and showed his peak Shark talent.
Kobe played 25 minutes, making 7 of 18 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 22 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. His data was no problem.
Gasol shot 5 of 12, scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. He was inexplicably weak and lost his All-Star appearance!
Coupled with the cheating Sessions, the Lakers were slaughtered all night. It was not unfair to lose by a big score!
