After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game came back in the second half. Both teams started with their main players, then played music, and then played again.
When the Thunder attack the ball, they still copy their original work.
"Westbrook continues to be a reckless person, calling out Sessions, no suspense, breakthrough, breakthrough to the end.
In the end, you can go to the end, but you can’t let him cum!
The Lakers tightened their defense, leaving no gaps, and filled the penalty area with people.
Westbrook came forward to meet the man. He stepped forward... No, he flicked the basketball to the right three-point corner. Su Bei's hands were empty again. After receiving the ball, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper. …”
Kobe actively turned around and returned to defense.
This is his playing attitude. Even if he can only hear the sound of a gun, he will go all out to put pressure on Su Bei.
Bang-dang——!
The strike missed!
Just returned from the second half of the game, Su Bei didn't bring a microwave and sent a three-pointer.
“The opportunity came out, but Su Bei failed to use it and failed to score the excellent opportunity created by Westbrook.
The Lakers got the ball, and Sessions took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to hand the basketball to Kobe..."
It's a routine operation again. The three threats are in place. Let's test whether the defense of North Jiangsu is deep. Can it be grasped?
As a result, Su Bei kept up with the pace, and the defensive distance was neither far nor close, not allowing Kobe to break through, but also interfering with Kobe's shooting at any time.
"When attacking facing the basket, Su Bei is too familiar with Kobe, and Kobe didn't get any advantage.
There was no wave play, and the basketball was handed to Sessions on the right, who lobbed the ball to Gasol..."
It's another triangle offensive team battle. Gasol is the axis, so naturally let him get the ball and provide support and organization.
Westbrook's mobility is too strong, and the defense shrinks a little bit. With Sessions' 48% three-point shooting rate, he cannot contain the defense.
Sir, did you make a mistake?
48% three-point shooting rate, still can't contain the defense?
We don’t study much, so don’t lie to us!
The question is that you average 1.5 three-pointers per game and hit 0.7 three-pointers. No matter how high your shooting percentage is, if you can't kill the game, people will not regard you as alive.
It's like Kobe is a famous blacksmith, but no team dares to let him attack. It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, it can only be said that they are very similar.
Well, it seems that the Spurs did it and let Kobe play.
Then, Kobe became the Spurs' nemesis, and the Lakers faced off, winning more and losing less.
There is no choice. Positional shooting is not possible, it cannot contain the defense, and it cannot open up space. Then move, shorten the distance from the basket, and increase the offensive threat.
“Sessions cut to the basket and ran a ball-screen pick-and-roll with Gasol.
After Gasol blocked the pursuing Westbrook, he immediately passed the ball to Sessions... No, Gasol played the role of everyone. He faked a pass, shook Perkins and at the same time, quickly passed the ball to Sessions... Complete the turn, take a step, jump up, and see that only the basket is left..."
Bang-dang——!
With a one-on-one dunk, Gasol showed his domineering side and blasted the basketball into the basket, scoring two points.
"pretty!
Gasol should be more aggressive and aggressive!
The Thunder's inside lineup simply cannot withstand the Lakers' drive to the basket.
One of the winning formulas for the Lakers must be to defeat the Thunder in the paint..."
49 to 50!
No one can try to narrow the gap.
The situation of the game is still in an anxious stage.
Off the court, head coach Scott Brooks was unsettled.
As long as Sessions is on the court, the advantage and initiative will always be on the Thunder's side.
Even if the Thunder can't guard the inside, the Lakers can't even think of guarding their outside.
"It was Westbrook's breakthrough with the ball again. Sessions fought and retreated, but Westbrook pushed him to the end. He chose to go in on his own.
Snapped--!
Gasol was very stubborn and didn't like Westbrook, so he rewarded him with a simple hot pot.
He failed to slap the basketball away, but Westbrook's layup shot missed.
The rebound was also firmly protected by Gasol..."
“After testing the depth in the first half, the Lakers obviously discovered the depth of Westbrook’s shooting.
4 of 10 shots, excluding 2 dunks during counterattacks, Westbrook's shots are very hip-stretching, allowing him to finish the offensive shot, which is very likely to be grasped..."
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
For mid-range shots, he is not considered alive at all. If Westbrook breaks through to the end, whether it is Gasol or Bynum's blocking and rim protection, he is still very capable.
Implementing the turtle release tactic seems to be a good choice.
Sessions is the Lakers' flaw, that's for sure, but even a piece of tissue paper has its effect. Sessions is a big living person, and as the bait of the turtle fishing tactics, it seems that it can be a way to break the game. .
“Westbrook’s efficiency was terrible tonight.
Now the Lakers attack is their chance to overtake the score.
After all, Sessions was no longer Fisher. At the critical moment, he didn't dare to take action, but handed the damn basketball to Kobe.
Hey, what the hell?
Kobe caught the ball, without any adjustment or hesitation, he just pulled out the ball and shot, raising his hand to try a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Su Bei was stunned, without any movement or reaction.
After all, he was used to letting go of snakes and didn't regard Kobe's three-pointer as alive.
Now facing Kobe's ungrateful shot, he did not step out to block the shot. He could only bet that Kobe's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Bang-dang——!
"No!
Kobe's three-pointer missed.
The shot selection is very reasonable, but it is still not stable enough after all.
Kobe shot blindly and wasted the Lakers' opportunity to take the lead..."
All I can say is, you will die if you try!
If you want to blame, you can only blame Lu Xun. Why do you say this if you have nothing to do!
Off the court, Jackson's face was calm. It was normal for Kobe to fight no matter what he did.
He is a superstar who can decide his attack method according to the situation on the court.
Hong Kong theory, Kobe Bryant took a three-pointer at that moment, and whenever he hit it, it was a very morale-boosting shot.
It's just a pity that the idea is good. Kobe's three-point ability is indeed a bit inferior.
Fortunately, the Lakers did not panic!
After experiencing the first half trials of g1 and g2, the Lakers also know the numbers.
Knowing that they struggled offensively with the Thunder, they had no chance of winning the series.
In the G1 game, they didn't believe in evil and fought against the Thunder. As a result, they were taught how to behave in three quarters.
In the G2 game, when we controlled the rhythm of the court in the first quarter, we also tried to attack in the second quarter to see if we could catch the Thunder off guard. We tried our best to take advantage of the young Thunder team, which has unlimited potential but unstable attributes. The team gained the advantage in the score, but unexpectedly, it was almost defeated by the Thunder's offense like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
After ruling out the offensive approach, the Lakers decided to defend.
Since they don't have an advantage in offense, they can't become stronger in terms of their lineup.
Then weaken the Thunder, drag them into a defensive quagmire, engage in physical combat, and then defeat the Thunder with a wealth of experience.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks did just that, and they were just a few hundred million shy of success.
“The Lakers pressed hard at halftime, interrupting the Thunder’s desire to speed up the game, and the two sides entered a positional battle.
Westbrook continued to break through with the ball, and the Lakers defended the zone..."
Jiangsu North cannot go short on this point. Durant did not reach the bottom corner, but he can go short.
Artest came to help defend and forced Westbrook away from the basket.
It's a pity that Westbrook didn't accept this trick and continued to dribble the ball. After attracting Gasol to help defend, he suddenly jumped up, flicked his hands in the air, and handed the basketball to Perkins, who was empty on the right side. .
The latter catches the ball, takes a move, and then picks the basket into the basket and hits the rebound...
The shot is very fast. Gasol wants to block the shot, and Bynum wants to sweep over. It is basically impossible and can only listen to the gunshot.
Logically speaking, the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage is. However, Perkins breaks the rules.
It’s okay not to accept this truth.
Bang-dang——!
"Perkins still couldn't seize the goal opportunity that was presented to him.
Quickly picking up the basket and hitting the board, he escaped the blockade of the Lakers' twin towers, but he couldn't avoid the basket's refusal to score.
The Thunder's offense sent another..."
And this is just the beginning.
…
Seeing Su Bei, Westbrook and Perkins, one by one becoming the No. 6, all easy scoring opportunities were lost.
Having no choice, Durant felt he could do it, so he chose to do it himself.
Get the ball, pose as a triple threat, step forward, retract your feet, feint, speed up and break through with the ball...
After a wave of operations, Durant broke into the paint, vacated the space, and then came up with a two-point fadeaway jumper...
"Bangdang——!
Durant's shot also failed to hit!
The Lakers suddenly increased their defensive intensity and physical confrontation, the Thunder played at a rhythm they didn't like, and their offense suddenly became misfired. "
…
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei received the ball from outside the three-point line and hit Kobe. After a steady wave, he chose to break through with the ball and tried a two-point shot from close range. In the end, it still missed.
…
With a bang, Yin Baka's layup from close range sent the basketball flying.
After a round of play, the Thunder failed to break through the Lakers' basket. It was like hell.
It wasn't until the 7th minute of the third quarter that Durant stepped forward, dribbled past Artest, reached the end, and then shot. This broke the Thunder's embarrassment of not scoring for 5 minutes.
"For five minutes, the Thunder finally, finally broke the scoring panic.
His shooting technique is too hip.
On the contrary, the Lakers, relying on the twin towers of Gasol and Bynum, and their advantage in the paint, scored consecutively and beat the Thunder 6-2..."
The Lakers focused their energy on defense, and their offense failed to open up the situation, but with their experience advantage, they still mastered the game during this period.
The point difference became 53 to 52, and the Lakers took a 1-point lead. Although this lead is not enough to feed the cat, a lead is a lead. A 100-point lead, a 10-point lead, a 1-point lead, are all leads...
"Bangdang——!
Kobe continued to try three-point shots, but still failed!
The Lakers' offense becomes simple.
When the Thunder shrink their defense, they dare to take shots even if they can't make three-pointers.
Huh!
Another offensive rebound came from the Lakers. Artest rushed to grab the ball, won the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Gasol, who forced the ball to the basket...
Snapped--!
Yin Baka made a contribution and blocked Gasol's layup.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, which was a good risk!
However, Gasol was too experienced and the basketball did not become a dead ball. He did not put his offensive hopes on the referee's whistle.
He quickly reached out and took back the lost basketball. There was no offensive space inside, so he immediately distributed the ball to Kobe on the outside and reorganized..."
Bang bang, bang—!
Kobe sped up his dribbling, and Su Bei lowered his center of gravity and assumed a defensive posture. However, Kobe forced a breakthrough and succeeded.
"Kobe worked hard, dribbling the ball, knocking Su Bei's body away, pulling the ball up, dribbling the ball in three steps for a layup, getting to the basket, attracting the defense while moving, and passing the basketball to Gasol Gasol is empty in his hands, and only the basket is left in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
A two-handed slam dunk, Gasol and Kobe connected, steadily took the cake, and scored two points.
55 to 52!
The point difference became 3 points!
Su Bei spread his hands and killed the crazy Kobe. He didn't take the shot himself, but broke through and distributed the ball. It was really hard to resist.
In one word, too tough!
Looking back, in the Thunder's offensive round, Westbrook broke through with the ball.
"He went in, Sessions couldn't stand it, he shot, and before the Lakers' zone defense came over, he raised his hand and hit a zombie pull-up jumper..."
Sessions was basically lying down, waiting for Westbrook to enter.
However, there was a clang, and the iron was still stuck outside, and the iron missed.
“The Thunder’s mid-range shots are still missing.
The Lakers' defense has shrunk, and the team's defense is very clean. "
Off the court, Scott Brooks couldn't sit still and stood on the sidelines, applauding the players on the court.
Not to mention, sprinkling chicken soup on the field like this still has a little effect.
Although the Lakers attacked next, Kobe beat Su Bei with his back and taught Su Bei a lesson with a precise mid-range fadeaway jumper. With a swish, he made a steady two-pointer.
But Su Bei was not easy to mess with. He turned around, received Westbrook's breakthrough pass, lifted the ball and hit Kobe, then collected the ball, raised it, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper...
Swish——!
"Yes!
Su Bei finally hit a three-pointer, breaking the Thunder's 6-minute mark without the embarrassment of a mid-range shot..."
The score difference became 57 to 55, only 2 points away.
To be honest, there is no difference between this point difference and no lead.
It's very easy to come back with just one goal.
However, the Thunder's shooting skills refreshed the understanding of the home fans.
In the next 3 minutes, the Thunder staged a new wave of blacksmithing shows.
The sound of hammering is heard!
It’s like, your own basket is not your own!
The Thunder's shooting skills are outstanding... no, there are so many bottom lines, and only Su Bei has them.
Others can't physically rush up, and there is no bottom line when shooting.
…
Bang-dang——!
Westbrook missed a three-pointer.
Immediately afterwards, Durant took a step from the three-point line and made a long-distance two-point shot, which also missed.
Without withdrawing, when Su Bei was under strict supervision by Kobe, the Thunder could only let Harden go.
"Harden came on the court, dribbled the ball through, made a European layup, caused a foul on Artest, and got the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw..."
The Thunder's three-point shots are inconsistent, and their two-point shots are inaccurate. They score one point after another. It's reliable after all!
Buzz—!
At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder relied on Su Bei's three-pointer, Durant's layup, and Harden's hit, plus Westbrook was more reckless, and there were always one or two successes. In this quarter of the game, He scored 12 points.
For the Lakers, Kobe was 3 of 7, Gasol was 3 of 4, and Bynum was 2 of 4. The Big Three performed well and scored 18 points.
At the end of the first three quarters, the Lakers drew the Thunder into hand-to-hand combat, which they were not good at, and used their rich experience to fight the Thunder. The score was 65 to 62. They turned away from home and went from trailing by 3 points at halftime to leading by 3 points. divided situation.
