"Ding, harvest contractor Durant's favorability value is 777!
"
"Ding, gain 520 favorability points from Westbrook the Turtle!
"
"Ding, I gained a favorability value of 314 from Emperor Harden!
"
“Ding, get the Black Mamba Kobe’s Rage Value of 2000!
"
"Ding, harvest the little shark Bynum's anger value 999!
"
"Ding, harvest the beast Artest's rage value is 777!
"
"..."
When he returned to his residence and scanned the system prompts, Su Bei was full of surprise.
"Sure enough, Kobe's competitive spirit is unparalleled!
After a disastrous defeat, plus not being able to play in the fourth quarter, I must be holding back my anger!
I hope that in the next game, Kobe can continue to play music and give surprises!
It’s probably hard to gain goodwill. Even if I get the highest score, it’s hard to feel good if the team wins so many points..."
never mind!
Anyway, he was used to it, so he didn't really care about data, so he turned around and immersed himself in the meal.
Without a fruit plate, you still have to work hard for midnight snacks.
The team had a day off the next day. It was already this time. There was no need to burn incense and train hard. The road to the playoffs was still far away.
Time flies, and it’s May 16th in the blink of an eye, at the Chesapeake Center Arena.
Night falls.
In the 2011/12 season, the Western Conference semifinals, the G2 game between the Thunder and the Lakers was about to begin. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Kobe and Durant just said hello, which saved them a lot of time chatting about a few cents.
After all, after being so disrespectful and massacred by a huge score two days ago, what else is there to talk about?
Just one word, just do it!
Su Bei didn't go there either, fearing he would be beaten.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Lakers' starting five are Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Kobe and Sessions.
The Thunder's starting five are Perkins, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, and Westbrook.
This game will still be broadcast live by TNT Radio. Barkley partners with Kenny Smith and invites guests O'Neal and Jeff Van Gundy to continue to form a commentary team.
"The lineups of both sides remain unchanged. After the huge defeat in the G1 game, the Lakers' winning rate has been reduced a lot, becoming 28, the Lakers are 2, and the Thunder are 8.
This prediction is still very reasonable!
Even the final score gave a 4-1 gentleman sweep.
The question is that the Thunder copied the work of the Pistons in 2004 and named the Lakers point guard. Kobe switched defenses, and then another person continued to name Sessions...
This problem cannot be solved with the Lakers' current lineup. "
“It’s true, the Lakers’ point guard strength has always been a pitfall.
When Shaq was here, he could still fill in the gaps with Kobe. Now Bynum has grown well, but obviously does not have Shaq's dominance.
As for Gasol, his decline has been too obvious! "
"The Lakers have obvious flaws that cannot be solved by adjusting the lineup. Sessions' performance in the last game was so bad that he had to be allowed to play in the game.
How can the Lakers solve this flaw?
Shaq, what do you think? "
"In the last game of the Lakers, because of Sessions' flaw, the perimeter was blown out, allowing Durant, Westbrook and Su Bei to score a combined 83 points. That's it, not counting the Thunder's other perimeter substitutes. Score.
If the Thunder continue to perform like G1 from the outside, the Lakers have basically no chance of winning.
There is no choice but to let the inside expand the defense.
Therefore, the Thunder's insiders will get too many shooting opportunities in this game. Whether they can grasp them will be a key point for the Thunder to win.
The Thunder can organize passes, but because Billups is not available, they are still not strong. This is also the confidence the Lakers have to expand their defense.
There is actually nothing new about tactics. You can figure it out after a few rounds. It also depends on the players on the field... no, it is the on-the-spot performance of the stars.
Kobe will obviously not let the Lakers return to the Staples Center Arena with a score of 0-2. The G2 game is likely to be the most critical battle in the Lakers' counterattack series. They must fight hard. What is the predicted winning rate? It doesn’t matter, you have to take it out and give it a beating to know the result..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball in his hand into the sky. Yin Baka defeated Bynum and obtained the ball for the Thunder team's first attack.
Su Bei immediately rushed to the frontcourt, followed by Kobe.
Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but Sessions was still facing him. He immediately copied what he had done before and dribbled the ball through.
“Sessions worked very hard, fought and retreated, and waited until Gasol came to help defend.
Westbrook didn't waste any time, he rose up and distributed the basketball to the right basket. Perkins was free, and with one move, he was about to hit the basket.
Bynum sat in the penalty area and swooped over to sweep the shot.
Snapped--!
I gave Perkins a solid block, and Perkins was very tough. He dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket together..."
Bang-dang——!
The basketball flew out of the basket.
Bynum's block was not clean and he failed to slap the basketball away. Fortunately, the basket was very generous and rejected Perkins' slam dunk.
"Sure enough, the Lakers' inside defense expanded outwards, and Shaq's eyes were very sharp, predicting the Lakers' moves.
The Thunder's two major insiders, whether it is Perkins or Yin Baka, are weak in offense and strong in defense, and their mid-range shots are unreliable. They can only pick up the pieces and dunk at the basket, which is a style that can defeat them all. The type that cannot be killed.
It will be difficult for the Thunder to continue to call out Sessions for this flaw...
Next, the Lakers' offense, let's see how they will play? "
On the court, Sessions dribbled the ball across half court and immediately handed the damn basketball to Kobe.
Or copy Fisher's homework.
"Putting on the three offensive threats, Su Bei continued to let go of the snake tactics, but still did not regard Kobe's three-point shot as alive.
Huh?
Kobe didn't play and gave the basketball back to Sessions. The latter lobbed the ball to Gasol in the high post, and then cut inside to the basket. Although he couldn't form a pick-and-roll with Gasol without the ball, he was still able to take it away. Westbrook's defense.
Gasol hit Perkins with his back, squeezed towards the basket, turned around, lifted the ball and was about to lay up... No, after attracting Yin Baka's defensive block, he chose to throw the basketball to Bynum on the left.
When the Lakers had an open opportunity, Bynum took the ball and rushed to the basket. This was the connection between the two towers inside..."
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity is out!
Bynum was in vain and spit out the cake Gasol put to his mouth.
He can even dunk the ball, he is also a talent.
“The Thunder dodged a bullet!
The loopholes inside were targeted again by the Lakers.
Fortunately, Bynum is not good enough!
The Thunder got the basketball and immediately counterattacked with the ball. Kobe and Schense pressed together, stopping Westbrook's speed.
The Lakers obviously don't want the Thunder to rush up and take advantage of their physical talent..."
It can only be said that the Lakers have too much experience in the playoffs.
At the beginning of the G2 game, the Thunder was taught a lesson on both offense and defense.
Positional warfare.
“Westbrook brought the ball upfield and continued to be the reckless one, dribbling the ball inward.
It was Gasol's help again, flanking Schenses, and Westbrook continued to pass the ball to the basket.
Perkins took the ball and immediately rushed to the basket. Only the basket was left in front of him... No, Bynum was quick to help defend. He stood up early and waited for Perkins to rush over like a mountain..."
Peng——!
Bynum and Perkins collided and fell to the ground. The whistle sounded. The referee gave Perkins a foul and made a mistake with the ball.
The ball changed hands!
“The Thunder are so useless inside, even if they had opportunities, they still messed up.
As long as they have mid-range shots and face this opportunity to give points, they will not end up giving points..."
Off the field, Jackson Jackson's face was very calm. The water on the field was deep, but he grasped it very well.
After all, his hands are full of championship rings, which obviously cannot be obtained easily by just sleeping.
At this time, Scott Brooks had a headache!
The purpose of asking is to allow rookies to grow quickly, and the players' roles on the court are fixed.
For example, Durant and Westbrook are the ones who go on offense.
Yin Baka and Sefolosha play defense.
As a result, Durant won the scoring title for three consecutive years.
Yin Baka went from being a second-round pick to the All-Defensive First Team due to his defensive prowess.
In addition, Perkins only knows how to defend, and his offensive attributes inside are simply not on the table.
Fortunately, the headache was a headache. The beginning was just a trial period, so he didn't panic.
"The basketball continues to be in Kobe's hands.
After the three threats stepped forward, Kobe dribbled the ball to break through. Su Bei pressed closely and retreated while fighting, not giving Kobe any space for mid-range and breakthrough.
Kobe turned around and gave Su Bei a butt, backed up to Su Bei, shook his shoulders, turned around, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Subei defended very actively, but when faced with Kobe's post-up singles and fadeaway jumpers, he could only bet that there were no bullets in Kobe's two-point pistol.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Kobe's shooting posture is picturesque, but there are no bullets in the pistol.
The basketball bounced out of the basket.
"still none!
Both sides' attacks failed to succeed!
Durant got the rebound and immediately dribbled the ball forward, but was forced to stop by Artest.
The game continued to fall into a positional battle, and the Lakers continued to control the court and pull the game into their preferred rhythm..."
Bang-dang——!
Yin Baka tried a mid-range shot and missed.
If you try, you will die. The Thunder's twin towers are a double waste, a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes.
“Both sides still failed to score points!
The Thunder's roll call tactics failed again.
To be fair, the opportunity still came out. Westbrook broke through and scored the ball. Perkins rushed to the basket and passed the ball to Yin Baka, who was open on the left, and then took a mid-range shot, and nothing happened..."
Su Bei was closely watched by Kobe, so he could only play soy sauce.
Durant is closely watched by Artest and can only be used as a walk-on.
After all, they never imagined that the closer they are to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage of some people is. What else should they do?
Lakers offense.
Kobe did not challenge Su Bei again. In the previous shot, he tested that his touch was not online.
The basketball was given back to Sessions, who then lobbed the ball to Gasol.
This is the normal operation of triangle tactics.
Gasol and Bynum moved the screen and changed positions, shuffling the Thunder's interior defense.
Yin Baka, who was originally guarding Gasol, became Perkins.
Just looking at height, in fact, there is no mismatch defense for this kind of mobile screen inside.
However, Gasol is obviously not good at dealing with Yin Baka, and Bynum is also not good at dealing with a human shield like Perkins.
The Lakers' twin towers move and change positions, shuffling the cards, and it is very beneficial to the Lakers' interior offense.
Gasol is not afraid of a meat shield, and he still has many advantages in one-on-one combat with Perkins, especially close to the basket.
Of course, in the first reshuffle, the offensive advantage against the Lakers is not that obvious.
If it doesn’t work once, then do it the second time!
"Sessions continued to cut inside and go to the basket. Gasol held the ball and provided a screen for Sessions who rushed in.
It's just a pity that Westbrook's talent is too strong, and Westbrook is from UCL, and his daily training is this kind of passing and cutting cooperation without the ball, which did not let Sessions get rid of...
Sessions couldn't hit the Thunder's backdoor and immediately pulled to the right three-point corner, taking Westbrook's defense away.
Artest moved to Sessions' original position, then played music, and then cut inside..."
Hong Kong, Durant's defense is not that good in the first place. He fought with physical strength and was crushed by Artest. He also had to cooperate with him. It's a damned thing if he can withstand it.
"Using Gasol's screen, Artest shook off Durant, received the pass from Gasol, and then directly attacked the basket. This time... no, it didn't go in yet. , the basketball shot missed...
Bang-dang——!
Still couldn't score!
Huh!
The Lakers' offense was not over yet. Bynum grabbed the offensive rebound, crushed Yin Baka with his back, and hit the basket with a pick..."
Peng, shua——!
Finally, finally scored two points!
2 to 0!
Needless to say, Bynum at his peak still had a few things under the basket.
Otherwise, would he dare to say that Kobe delayed his growth?
"It's still the Thunder's problem, the flaws in the interior, rebounding and rim protection. They still don't know how to do this..."
Offensive and defensive transition, the Thunder attack!
The Lakers scored first and they didn't panic.
Even if the Lakers can solve the offensive problem that calls Sessions out, the Thunder don't care.
The question is that as long as Sessions is on the court, the Lakers' flaw will always exist.
“Westbrook continues to be reckless with the ball.
Sessions couldn't stand it anymore and could only fight and retreat, waiting for his teammates to wipe his ass. Gasol immediately helped defend, trying to break the Thunder's offense like in the previous rounds.
What the hell?
Westbrook was not used to the Lakers' flaws, so he got up with the ball, raised his hand like a zombie and shot a two-point jumper, and quickly finished the game..."
Faced with Westbrook's unreasonable shots, Sessions had to shoulder everything in the end. How else could he handle it?
All we can do is interfere and listen to the gunfire.
Bang-dang——!
"still none!
Westbrook's shot also missed.
Hey, the offensive rebound was taken by Perkins. There was no room for attack. He immediately passed the ball to Su Bei who came in through an air cut. He took the ball and shot to attack the basket..."
Swish——!
With the knife raised and lowered, Su Bei made a second strike, eating the cake and sending the basketball into the basket, opening up the Thunder's scoring account.
"Beautiful, the Thunder finally, finally scored a goal, not just just hanging on the outside!
The Lakers' defensive problem still lies in Sessions' flaw.
In order to wipe his ass, Gasol expanded the defense, and the Lakers' protection of rebounds was weakened, giving the Thunder an offensive rebound and a chance for a second offense..."
…
