"The Lakers have found a way and rhythm to defeat the Thunder. Next, it depends on whether the Lakers can continue the rhythm of the third quarter and continue to suppress the Thunder's offensive firepower.
With a 3-point lead, the game continued in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers had the ball..."
With Kobe Bryant and Bynum resting off the court, the Lakers had no choice but to play a triangle offensive team tactic.
“Gasol acted as a pivot to get the ball, and Sessions cut inside without the ball and took away the defense.
Gasol hit Muhammad with his back and attracted the help of Su Bei, and immediately threw the basketball out of the three-point line. Artest received the ball, broke through with the ball, ran over Su Bei's body, and rushed to the basket. Take action..."
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came up, Artest's layup, but he still sent it.
His style of play remains the same, still bulldozing his body.
However, the problem of unreliable shooting is still the same boy as before, without any change.
In addition, as I get older, my condition has declined and I cannot afford to be strong, so I can only hang out outside. This is normal.
The Thunder attacked, and Billups took the ball to the top arc and lined up. Durant, Su Bei, Harden, or Muhammad immediately had a choice.
“The scoring leader Durant’s card was turned over.
Durant held the ball in a one-on-one challenge with Odom, making various feints, suddenly accelerating to break through, changing directions, making space, and then raised his hand to shoot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Odom couldn't keep up, but Durant couldn't reach the end if he wanted to.
Gasol and Sessions, both of whom can take action, pounce and flank, teaching Durant to shoot away from the basket.
You don't fight from behind, you only know how to face the basket. It's no different from driving a Mazda. Traffic jams are inevitable.
As the leading scorer, it is impossible to pass the ball. He has no choice but to shoot. When the Lakers' flanking tactics fail, he can quickly finish the game.
It was possible to shoot, but it was a pity that the basket was not used to this kind of outside play. With a bang, Durant's shot missed.
"The Thunder still haven't found the touch in their offensive shooting. If they continue in this state, they can't shoot and miss, the rest of the game will be in danger!
If you want to break the Lakers' zone defense, you have to look at the three-point shooting percentage..."
When Subei is heavily defended, Durant's three-pointers are unreliable, Harden doesn't go crazy, and Westbrook lets them go at will... The Thunder really don't have any players who can shoot solid three-pointers.
Off the court, Scott Brooks' face was ugly, but it was ugly and there was nothing he could do about it.
The Thunder used blind Jiba tactics, using all kinds of physical talents to crush their opponents.
When faced with veteran players like the Lakers, the Thunder are really powerless and have nowhere to go.
However, I couldn't find the accuracy of my shot, which was really annoying.
"The direction of the game is in favor of the Lakers!
Of course, the Lakers also have problems. Their lineup is aging. They have to strengthen physical confrontation and improve defensive intensity. Although they can kill 1,000 people, they will also lose 800 to themselves.
It just depends on the staying power of the Lakers..."
Bang-dang——!
Odom beat Durant and missed for a layup from close range.
“Neither does the Lakers offense.
Hey, Artest got to the basket, overpowered Su Bei, grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around on the ground, and continued to rush to the basket for a layup. And... no, he still couldn't score!
The Lakers are just short of luck..."
When the Lakers focused on defense, there was also a problem with their offensive state.
The Thunder couldn't score, and the Lakers couldn't even try to score, and they were hurting each other.
You can't stand it.
I can handle it...
"It was Billups who dealt the cards from the top of the arc again. He did not favor Durant alone, but took advantage of both the rain and the dew and turned over Harden's cards.
Bang bang, bang—!
Continuously stepping down and dribbling, Harden dribbled the ball past Matt Barnes. He went in, was flanked, and jumped out again.
He handed the basketball to Su Bei's hands at the 65-degree three-point line on the right side. He took the ball and swung it. Artest did not jump, giving Su Bei a personal confrontation.
Without making any random moves, Su Bei handed the basketball to Billups, and then ran towards the top arc..."
With the cover of Billups' top arc, Su Bei finally, finally got rid of Artest. Outside the 81-degree three-point line on the left, he received the pass from Billups and raised his hand. Mark the three-point pull-up jump shot...
Artest was blocked, and Sessions had no choice but to switch defenses, but you are 1.91 meters tall, how can you defend yourself with a piece of iron!
We can only interfere as much as possible, and then bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
Guessed wrongly, Su Bei's three-point pistol had bullets in it.
"Yes!
Very nice cooperation, very beautiful three-point shot!
The Thunder have the only and most reliable three-point shooting point, and the Lakers know it well, but in the end they still can't guard it. "
“Actually, Hong Kong’s principles are still an old problem!
Calling Sessions a difficult question is something the Lakers won't do!
It's nothing more than Kobe Bryant replaced by Artest..."
Once upon a time, when Kobe was guarding Su Bei, Westbrook would attack. When Kobe was guarding Westbrook, it was Su Bei's turn to take action.
However, this kind of tactics is passive. The Lakers can eat whatever they want. When Westbrook has no feel for shooting, they must strictly guard against Su Bei.
Now, Westbrook is replaced by Billups, who has no breakthrough, but has top organizational skills. The Thunder can change from passive to active, and can change their posture...
They also named Sessions without discussion or support!
The score is 65 to 65!
Both sides are back on the same starting line!
Bang-dang——!
Gasol hit Durant with his back, and the iron clicked again.
Things turned around, and in the third quarter of the game, the Lakers inflicted 1,000 losses on their opponents and 800 losses on themselves.
In the fourth quarter of the game, after all, the Lakers used a lot of energy, and Kobe and Bynum needed to save their energy until the last minute to sprint and injure themselves by a thousand dollars. This is reasonable!
"The Thunder attacked, Harden broke through again, and Su Bei moved out of position without the ball.
After receiving Harden's pass, Su Bei still couldn't get rid of Artest's defense.
However, when Su Bei passed the ball to Billups, Durant on the left successfully got rid of Odom's defense. Billups immediately passed the ball like a scalpel and sent the basketball to the inside for an air cut. In Durant's hands.
Dribbling the ball for a layup, Durant had... No, he still couldn't score.
What the hell!
After passing the ball to his stomach, Durant actually vomited, and the key opportunity to overtake the score was just gone..."
You call this a scoring champion?
Why, three consecutive terms!
If he wasn't in the state of death, wouldn't he be able to play and score?
I can't make a shot, I can't penetrate the ball, I can still miss a layup, is there any magic?
Are there any laws?
After all, Westbrook is still on the bench, otherwise he would be pissed to death by Dewey, who is both the king of the Thunder and the crouching dragon and the phoenix.
In the end, Durant, the scoring champion, failed to bring morale to the Thunder, but the Lakers' offense gave the Thunder confidence and stopped the Thunder generals from panicking.
"After passing the ball continuously, no one made a move. The Lakers actually made a mistake and didn't make a move for 24 seconds, giving the ball to the Thunder..."
However, at this time, the status of both parties has been exhausted.
During the game, Durant forced a break through Odom, but Artest, who was assisting in the defense to block the shot, had the basketball in his hands cut off.
"Durant is lost again.
It was another opportunity for the Thunder to overtake the score. This round, it was even more unreliable, and there were actually mistakes..."
The problem still lies in shooting.
In the third quarter, Durant only made 2 of 4 shots, which was pretty good. In the fourth quarter, Durant took two shots, and they all failed.
Shooting from the outside will only cause trouble outside. Durant can only break through to the end, and Huashan has his own way.
As the leading scorer, he wants to dominate the game at critical moments and play the leading role in scoring. However, his offensive methods are not comprehensive and he can only attack facing the basket.
Either shooting or breaking through.
It is impossible to pass the ball, it is easy to be figured out, and it is common to force the output without being hard.
“The Lakers, who got the ball, didn’t rush it and made substitutions.
Kobe, Bynum, and Blake, three up and three down..."
Matt Barnes, Odom and Sessions came off to rest and had the important task of ending the game. Coach Jackson still chose to believe in Kobe.
Dribbling the ball across half court, Blake handed the damn basketball into Kobe's hands.
"Su Bei changed defense and pressed Kobe directly. After shaking right and left, Kobe lifted the ball. Was he about to shoot?
No!
With a flick in the air, Kobe sent the basketball to Bynum in the low post on the left. His defensive player Muhammad had the advantage on Bynum's side..."
Peng——!
A back-to-back collision opened up space, and Bynum turned around for a layup.
Snapped--!
People can't pass the ball.
Bynum jumped up, but found that the basketball in his hand had been broken by Muhammad.
"This is experience!
Muhammad’s physical talent is not as good as that of Bynum, the little shark, so he chose to defend by half withdrawing his chair. Then, he anticipated Bynum’s offensive mode in advance and completed the steal..."
To be fair, Bynum's offensive arsenal is also very small.
What he copied was O'Neal's homework. He turned his back, turned around, and made a layup.
He debuted in 2005, and now in 2012, he has been playing for 7 years, but he still can't even make half a mid-range shot.
Without O'Neal's dominance under the basket, it is not surprising that Bynum would make mistakes if he wanted to use his strength to beat him.
“Another chance for the Thunder to take the lead.
Billups favored Durant alone, and continued to play Durant's cards in the top arc.
This is very reasonable. Durant is the scoring leader. When the team needs to score, he has to step up and solve the problem..."
Su Bei, Harden, and Billups can only run without condoms.
"Durant's three threats, probing and feinting, Gasol was not fooled.
Durant did not force the shot, but continued to break through with the ball, stopped suddenly, and flicked the ball.
Gasol didn't jump.
He continued to sway, but still didn't jump. Durant was not decisive, and his continuous fake moves failed to fool Gasol. Instead, he took away his own space step by step.
Durant chose to be strong...
What the hell?
Artest took action and cut the basketball from Durant's hand. He immediately passed the ball to Kobe and launched a defensive counterattack...
After being forced to stop by Harden, he immediately passed the ball to Gasol, took two steps, and passed a long pass. Kobe took the lead and rushed to the frontcourt..."
When you get the basketball, the only thing left in front of you is the basket.
Kobe blasted the basketball into the hoop with a windmill dunk.
67 to 65!
Kobe counterattacked and scored two points to help the Lakers regain the lead.
Durant defeated Kobe Bryant by a narrow margin in the battle for the scoring title this season. Unexpectedly, when the Thunder needed to score, they missed the basket three times.
You call this the scoring champion!
Still comparable to Jordan's three consecutive games?
I bother!
Without Death Mode, tough battles can't be fought. What kind of scoring champion is this?
You said Durant is only 24 years old!
All right!
The future is yours.
He can be forgiven for not being able to fight a tough battle. After all, he is too young and has unlimited possibilities.
Jordan did not win a championship before he was 28 years old!
Seeing that Durant was unreliable and Su Bei was being guarded by Artest again, with no choice, Billups turned over Harden's card.
"Breakthrough with the ball, European step layup, beating Kobe..."
Bang-dang——!
Harden's courage is admirable.
But if you want to challenge Kobe's defense, you have picked the wrong opponent.
The Thunder's offense still failed to open up the situation.
Fortunately, there is only a 2-point gap between the two sides, and the suspense of the game is still there.
“Bynum protects the basketball, distributes the ball to Blake and takes it to the frontcourt.
The ball was passed to Kobe. Facing Jiangsu's pressing, Kobe forced a breakthrough. He couldn't hit the ball and gave the basketball back to Blake.
Huh?
How dare he, Blake suddenly pulled up the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer..."
Billups helped defend Kobe, and his defense moved inward. He didn't expect that Blake would be so brave. In a series of blackout situations, he gave him a three-point sneak attack without any moral ethics.
He was careless and did not step out to interfere, so he could only listen to the gunshot!
Swish——!
"Beautiful, Blake hit a three-pointer!
This was the Lakers' third three-pointer of the game. Apart from Artest's two three-pointers, you were the only one, Blake.
This is a very morale-boosting three-point goal for the Lakers..."
70 to 65!
The score difference became 5 points.
When Durant and Harden were both unreliable, Billups decided to do it himself.
He beat Blake with his back, trying to regain the lost points.
"Unable to withstand it, Blake can only fight and retreat.
Hey, Artest actually left Su Bei open and came to help defend.
boom--!
Billups made a back-up pass and sent the basketball to Su Bei's hands outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
He caught the ball, lifted it up, and hit Artest who was rushing back. Su Bei collected the ball, and instead of shooting a three-pointer, he dribbled the ball inside, reached the inside, and dribbled the ball for a layup in three steps..."
Peng——!
Colliding into Blake, who was stationed on defense, Su Bei made a layup, and with a whoosh, the basketball entered the basket steadily.
Beep——!
“The whistle blew, the referee called a foul, and there was controversy on the court, requiring a video replay.
This goal is very crucial. Will Su Bei score 2+1?
Or did Su Bei hit someone with the ball and get a mistake?
Although there is still plenty of time, it is still a key goal that determines the direction of the game.
Su Bei didn't shoot a three-pointer and wanted to score points steadily, but he didn't expect that Blake was working too hard..."
Outside the court, the home fans booed and put pressure on the referee to make a decision in favor of the Thunder.
The referee who watched the video replay at the technical desk carefully watched it several times, made the final penalty, ran to the court, and made a standard move of dribbling the ball into someone.
The Thunder's score was revised back and the ball was given to the Lakers.
“A matter of millimeters!
Blake stood still and did not move. Su Bei dribbled the ball for a layup and bumped into Blake, who fell to the ground.
It can only be said that Su Bei is too stable. Instead of trying to take an open three-pointer, it goes to the penalty area for two points.
While increasing the scoring efficiency of the Thunder, it also gives the Lakers defense room to react..."
The game continued, Kobe took the ball and hit Su Bei with his back, step by step, crushing him in.
Seeing Billups coming to help defend, Kobe immediately distributed the ball.
"Artest came in through an air cut, pushed Harden away with his body, got Kobe's pass, jumped up in the paint, and hit the basket...
With no choice, Durant used a foul to interrupt Artest's attack to the basket..."
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and Artest got the chance to go to the free throw line and shoot the free throw.
Seeing that the Thunder's offense was not improving, the Lakers' offense was playing vigorously, and the point difference widened.
Scott Brooks couldn't sit still and immediately called a short pause to interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm and give his disciple a few breaths.
I can't hold it back, and I might let it out for a thousand miles.
Take a break sometimes, change your mood, maybe you can get better!
Anyway, no one will complain, as long as it works, what's the point of taking a break!
Only after a break can you experience the on-field coaching ability of a head coach!
