The timeout is over and the game resumes!
Westbrook and Yin Baka were replaced on the court, while Billups and Muhammad took a rest.
Faced with the problem of not being able to score offensively, Scott Brooks took action and used the Thunder's four young men + Su Bei, a lineup with full offensive attributes.
"The Lakers have just developed chemistry, so substitutions and adjustments are unnecessary.
Artest stood on the free throw line and executed the two free throws just now. If he hits both of them, he can widen the point difference to 7 points, which will be a very good advantage for the Lakers in the next game..."
Outside the court, the home fans and spectators naturally knew the seriousness of this penalty kick and shouted desperately and booed to interfere.
Swish——!
On the first free throw, Artest was very tough and made the free throw steadily.
Bang-dang——!
“The second free throw was missed, Su Bei got the rebound and immediately counterattacked with the ball.
Facing Kobe's pressing, he turned around and hit the ground to distribute the ball to Westbrook.
He continued to rush to the frontcourt, and then dribbled the ball recklessly. He broke through to the end, jumped up to shoot... No, he threw the basketball behind him in the air, followed Yin Baka who came in, made an alley-oop, and poured the basketball into the basket... …”
Bang-dang——!
Yin Baka's entire body hung on the basket, helping the Thunder open up their scoring account.
The score was 71 to 67, and the point difference expanded from Artest's two free throws to 6 points, to 4 points after the Thunder succeeded in counterattack.
"The Thunder team has a lineup of one large and four small... no, it can even be said to be a five-small lineup. It has a huge advantage in terms of speed and mobility.
However, defensively, the Thunder’s internal rim protection and loopholes in the rim will be a big disadvantage..."
"Hey, the Thunder contracted and didn't give the Lakers any space to attack inside.
Blake did not continue to shoot three-pointers, but handed the basketball to Kobe.
After Kobe's triple threat, he dribbled the ball past Jiangsu Province and went in. He pulled up and shot. He raised his hand and hit a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Just pull it out!
Su Bei fought and retreated, and before even reacting with his posture, Kobe quickly finished the fight.
With a clean pull-up jumper, Su Bei could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
"Yes!
Kobe's pull-up hit!
This is what is so valuable about Kobe. When the Lakers need to score to stabilize the situation, he dares to take action.
This ball was an unsolvable mid-range shot to overwhelm Su Bei. I really couldn't resist it.
This is the role of superstars on the court! "
73 to 67!
The score difference became 6 points.
At this time, there are still 6 minutes before the end of time, and there is still a lot of time left for the Thunder team.
But it’s not easy for the Thunder to come back!
The rhythm of the game on the court was not what the Thunder liked. The speed could not be increased and the physical talents could not be fully utilized.
However, the Thunder are not panicking.
It is foolish to ask!
Continue to blindly beat Jiba randomly.
"Westbrook dribbled the ball past Blake, and Artest came to help defend the zone.
Peng——!
With a hit to the ground, the basketball was passed to Harden, who continued to dribble the ball through. Kobe came to help defend, and Harden broke through with a European step and passed the ball to Durant.
Lifting the ball, attracting Kobe's defense, he quickly moved the basketball to the left three-point corner. Su Bei received the ball, and when it was empty, he raised it, raised his hand, and took a three-point jumper..."
Gasol pounced, and Kobe turned back to defend. It was already too late, and he could only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
73 to 70!
"pretty!
Su Bei's three-pointer is interesting!
In response to Kobe's pull-up two-pointer just now.
If Kobe dares to score two points on him, Su Bei will dare to score 3 points on offense.
Kobe lost money in this kind of sale and purchase.
Of course, the problem is still the defense at the point guard. Blake was beaten by Westbrook.
Whenever the Lakers fix this loophole, another loophole will appear elsewhere..."
Su Bei's three-point hit was just the right time. You chose it, idol!
When defending a zone, the gap for a three-pointer from the corner appears immediately.
If the Lakers don't choose a zone defense, they won't have this problem...
Outside the court, Jackson Jackson looked calm.
The Thunder's talent flow style of play is still too strong. They can only disrupt the Thunder's offensive rhythm to have a chance to win.
As for whether Su Bei can hit the three-pointer, they have already prepared it!
If the shot is successful, they can only admit it.
It is impossible, absolutely impossible, to use defense to shut down the opponent's offense. It is not a football game, where one goal can decide the game.
Don't panic, the current direction of the wind is still blowing towards the Lakers.
Bang-dang——!
"Kobe continued to fight in front of Su Bei, and his luck was a hundred million points worse.
The basketball was halfway in, but still struggled to fly out.
When the Thunder had an opportunity, Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, continued to play music, and then acted recklessly, forcing a breakthrough through Blake.
It was a roll call tactic again. The Lakers' wings did not dare to help defend anymore. Gasol swept out and continued to flank Westbrook.
Pulling up the ball and shooting... No, Westbrook was not a zombie jumper in the air, but Yin Baka flicked the ball in the air and sent the basketball to the basket. He was already empty and took a two-point shot from close range. There was... No , my God, I brought it to my mouth, but it still didn’t hit..."
Bang-dang——!
Here we go again, the Thunder's inside line is too useless.
Westbrook took it for granted, thinking that Yin Baka would be able to toughen up, but he didn't expect that he was still hanging around outside, unable to make a shot.
Good guy!
As long as the Thunder's inside line isn't so stretched, the game won't be so anxious.
There is no way to solve the Lakers point guard's problem of giving up points. As a result, when the Thunder are faced with the problem of giving up points, even the inside players can't do it. What else do they do?
The interior offense is so bad, should we give them an award?
Nothing.
Westbrook could only spread his hands.
He also didn't expect that there would be someone worse than him in shooting!
Although he is also bad, he is further away from the basket after all, so theoretically it is more difficult to shoot...
You have reached the bottom, how dare you say that you are further away?
All right!
Don't point it out, we are still good friends.
With Westbrook and Yin Baka, a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, it is not surprising that the Thunder are lagging behind.
“In a bad match, the more experienced Lakers continue to take the initiative, and the advantage lies with the Lakers.
Kobe didn't make any more waves, and looked for Bynum with a lob. With a bang, Yin Baka couldn't be hit, so he chose to force himself, turned around and rushed to the basket at close range...
Bang-dang——!
Bynum's layup was sent.
Hey, there’s still a chance!
Gasol got stuck in position, grabbed the offensive rebound, and continued to rush to the basket...
Bang-dang——!
Still missed!
The Thunder's rim protection was like a bus, but the Lakers didn't succeed in making progress..."
It can only be said that the Thunder made a profit!
With the first and fourth small lineups, the Thunder were prepared to be beaten. Unexpectedly, the rebounds could not be protected, but the rim was protected and no points were lost.
"The Thunder's opportunity to narrow the gap in the game was once again when Westbrook broke through with the ball and Artest helped defend, passing the ball to Harden to break through with the ball. He made a European step layup, penetrated the Lakers' defense, and made a layup under the basket. …
What's the big deal?
It was actually a mistake!
Artest swatted the basketball away, hit Harden, and flew out of the baseline. The Thunder's offense still failed to open up the situation..."
"Looking back, Kobe Bryant hit Su Bei with his back, went in, shook his shoulders, turned around, took off the ball, raised his hand and hit a two-point fadeaway jumper. His shooting posture was picturesque..."
Su Bei's defense was not lost. He tried his best to block the basketball with his hands, but he still couldn't reach it. He could only bet that there were no bullets in Kobe's pistol.
Bang-dang——!
After four straight shots, Kobe took three consecutive shots, all of which missed.
"too difficult!
Kobe, a 34-year-old man, not only has to take the ball to attack and score, but also takes care of defense.
Kobe is a famous iron man, but he can’t stand it, and his physical fitness is not much..."
"Hitting the Lakers point guard by name and Kobe switching defenses cost too much in the early stage.
In addition, the Lakers automatically increased their defensive intensity and physical confrontation, which indeed caused a lot of damage to the Thunder's offense..."
Kill ten thousand enemies and suffer eight thousand losses!
But the problem is that the Thunder's combat power is 10,000 points, while the Lakers' only has 8,000 points.
Hong Kong theory, in theory, the Lakers make money.
It's a pity that the Thunder's recovery ability is very likely to be better than that of the Lakers.
This is why I like to find young people.
Bang-dang——!
Well, the technology is really bad!
Westbrook broke through and went up himself. Zombie made a pull-up jumper and missed.
Su Bei was closely watched by Kobe. Durant was in poor condition and entered the invisible stage, so he could only act as a walk-on.
…
The Thunder's shot was so wide that it hit the street!
It's powerful but it doesn't know how to do it, it just rubs it outside.
In the subsequent game, the Lakers took the lead in seizing the opportunity.
"Gasol hit Durant with his back, turned around, and in a flash, passed the basketball to the left. Bynum, who rushed in, caught the ball and immediately jumped up and rushed to the basket...
Bang-dang——!
Got it!
The cooperation of the Lakers' two interior towers, and the Thunder's interior strength, what can I do to defeat it..."
75 to 70!
At this time, there were still 4 minutes left in the game, and the rhythm of the field was very deep, but the Lakers still took control.
The direction of the game is still in favor of the Lakers.
At this time, the Thunder seemed to be in a hurry!
Westbrook tried to pull out a three-pointer without thinking. Anyway, he was not sure about two points or three-pointers. From this point of view, Westbrook is still a bit clever.
It's just a pity that basketball is not arithmetic, and his ability is not enough. This little cleverness will not be tolerated by the basket.
Bang-dang——!
The three-pointer missed.
If you try, you will die. Lu Xun's words are obviously something that the great wisdom of Westbrook cannot understand.
…
Bang-dang——!
Westbrook is playing the game, and Durant is replaced to shoot three-pointers. The scoring champion has been playing for so long, but he also wants to save face.
It's a pity that the basket didn't tolerate him, and he also missed the shot.
…
"The Lakers had a chance to kill the game, and Kobe made a pull-up three-pointer.
Bang-dang——!
nor!
The Lakers got the offensive rebound. Bynum hit Yin Baka with his back and suddenly hit him hard.
What the hell?
At the critical moment, a butter hand actually appeared, Bynum knocked Yin Baka away, and the basketball also flew away.
It was actually a double flight, still a 5-point advantage. "
…
"It's Durant's three-pointer again, will death come?
Bang-dang——!
It was too soft. Durant tried three-pointers continuously, but still failed to hit the basket.
The Lakers' opportunity was limited by time. Kobe obviously had physical problems and was forced by Su Bei. He didn't force the ball and gave the ball to Bynum.
After a sudden collision, he turned around and went for a layup, Peng, shua—!
Got it!
Bynum made up for it, eating Yin Baka alive, and scored two points under the basket, helping the Lakers gain a 7-point lead!
In the current state of the Thunder, this goal has basically killed the game, leaving only 2 minutes for the Thunder.
The Thunder need to call a timeout to adjust.
Hey, the Thunder’s head coach didn’t do anything…”
It's still blind Jiba who beats me randomly!
Westbrook didn't make any more waves. His breakthroughs, mid-range shots, three-pointers, and passes all failed.
At the critical moment, Durant missed two three-pointers and missed them.
"In the end, he turned over Harden's card, attacked with the ball, dribbled to one-on-one Artest, and dribbled down continuously.
Bang bang, bang bang—!
Accelerate the breakthrough to the right, adjust Artest's center of gravity, shoot the basketball to the left, change direction to breakthrough, go in, then retreat, continue to accelerate the breakthrough..."
One left and one right, his posture changed, disrupting Artest's defensive rhythm. Then he advanced and retreated, suddenly accelerated, and European-stepped the ball for a layup. Artest's body declined seriously, and he played for another 38 minutes. , what do you use to top it?
Harden's breakthrough was like passing through the streets in the early morning, passing Artest.
Get to the basket, get an easy layup, and score the basketball.
Swish——!
"Haden, who was the first player to be drafted in 2009, finally, finally, showed his strength!
Asking means being young!
It has reached the last two minutes of the game, and Harden's speed has not slowed down.
And Artest can no longer keep up..."
77 to 72!
The score difference is only 5 points.
“The Lakers offense, Blake puts the damn basketball in Kobe’s hands.
Su Bei presses closely.
What?
Durant also rushed over and flanked Kobe.
In terms of physical confrontation, Kobe's physical fitness is obviously unable to keep up, and he will lose the basketball.
Durant was so quick that he cut the basketball from Kobe's hand and walked away, leaving only the basket in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
Durant rushed to the basket and scored two points with a dunk.
When he landed, he roared and beat his chest. Tonight's game was very uncomfortable for him.
In the first half, he went 4-for-4, and the offensive opportunities were basically not in his hands.
In the second half, when his state was consumed by physical confrontation and finding open spaces, when the opportunity came and he took the ball to shoot, he would just hang around outside.
At the critical moment, he and Su Bei flanked Kobe, and he completed the steal and scored a one-stop layup, which wiped away his depression.
Moreover, the Lakers obviously couldn't hold on and were going to collapse.
The score was 77 to 74, with a score difference of 3 points.
"The situation of the Lakers cannot be said to be exactly the same as the situation of the Thunder in the Mavericks' first rotation, it can only be said that they are very similar.
By controlling the field with rhythm and strengthening defense, they took the lead.
The Thunder were forced into the final battle. As a result, with only one or two minutes left, the Mavericks suddenly collapsed and barely breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the Lakers and the Mavericks are facing the same problem, let's see if they can survive it..."
"Huh?
Harden pounced and pressed Blake with Westbrook.
This is to prevent Blake from passing halftime!
Kobe went over to support, but Su Bei was struggling with him, and Kobe couldn't get the basketball. Artest came over to help, but it was too late..."
Beep——!
The whistle sounded, the referee penalized Blake's mistake, and the ball changed hands.
“Opportunity for Thunder!
The situation on the court is changing!
With 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Lakers still have a 7-point advantage.
Now 30 seconds have passed, and the point difference is only 3 points. The ball still belongs to the Thunder. The Lakers are in danger, and the game is about to collapse..."
…
