D'Antoni did not replace Kobe during this timeout, but replaced Pau Gasol first.
Kobe has just recovered from injury and his playing time needs to be strictly controlled.
After the timeout, the Lakers attack.
Gasol helped the Lakers solve their offensive problems as soon as he came on.
Gasol beat Adams in the low post.
After continuous back turns, choose the jump hook to the front.
This is one of Gasol's special skills. Adams did not put too much pressure on Gasol.
"Uh-huh!"
Gasol hooked in easily.
28 to 36.
The Thunder attack comes again.
Zhao Chen leaned over and dribbled the ball from outside the left three-point line.
Adams sets the pick and roll.
One gear, one demolition.
Zhao Chen did not rush in. Adams took away Henry who was defending Zhao Chen, leaving Thackeray behind.
Thackeray is a tall "cheerleader" center who has the basic finishing ability of an NBA player. He makes a living on pick-and-rolls and air cuts. His shooting is inaccurate, his rebounding is poor, and he lacks the speed to help defend.
His most valuable attribute to the Lakers is his ability to communicate, whether on the bus, at lunch, or on the court.
Thackeray is always willing to communicate and let his teammates know that no matter where he is, he will always support them silently.
His mental effect is greater than his on-field effect.
Thackeray tried very hard to guard Zhao Chen.
But the effort was of little use.
Zhao Chen passed Thackeray even more easily than Nick Young. Thackeray's turn was too slow.
Zhao Chen can rush over quickly by using a skill.
Emergency stop at high position!
Gasol's help defense failed to keep up.
Zhao Chen took action easily.
Wonderful arc.
"Uh-huh!"
30 to 36.
Score 10 points in a row.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen shouted at Kobe again: "You guys can't do it, you have to do it."
"Are you looking for a beating?" Nick Yang next to him was unhappy with Zhao Chen.
"What's wrong? Do you have any opinions?" Zhao Chen asked Nick Yang.
"Fake!!" Nick Young was about to take action when he found that he was surrounded by five people from the Thunder, while other Lakers players were watching the show from a distance...
Nick Yang's heart froze, and he turned around and left.
"Zhao, don't be polite to them. If you want to take action, I will do it." Adams said.
The current Thunder are much better than the scattered Lakers.
Kobe looked at the situation on the court with a cold expression on the sidelines. He didn't like the way the Lakers were now, but he was powerless to change it.
The referee on the field came over and warned Zhao Chen not to continue provoking the Lakers bench.
"Kobe!"
"Kobe!"
"Go up and kill this rookie."
Lakers fans were shouting.
Zhao Chen scored 10 points in a row, and Lakers fans were a little anxious.
The cheers of the Lakers fans finally moved Kobe. Kobe picked up the long towel on his body and actively signaled to D'Antoni that he wanted to get on.
D'Antoni immediately asked Kobe to go to the technical table to prepare.
"Oh, the chat is finally here."
"Zhao Chen ravaged the Lakers' bench."
"Zhao Chen's explosive scoring power is nothing to say. This season, in addition to competing for Rookie of the Year, he can also compete for Sixth Man of the Year."
"Zhao Chen is not only 3D, his one-on-one ability is also improving."
"Haha, playing next to Durant and Westbrook in the Thunder, it's hard not to be one-on-one."
The fans on the domestic live broadcast bar are also very happy. Zhao Chen is getting more and more brilliant in the NBA, and they are getting more and more happy watching the game.
They seem to have regained their memories of watching Dayao play in the Rockets.
...........
On the court, Zhao Chen almost intercepted Nick Young's pass with his tenacious pressing, and went out of bounds while saving the ball.
Dead ball substitution, Henry was replaced by Kobe.
D'Antoni pulled Kobe to his side and said: "Let's play like this in the first quarter. Defend the rookie and don't let him shoot. Just encourage him to break through and let him fight."
Kobe nodded and said, "I know how to defend."
Kobe watched for a long time off the court.
The Lakers continued to attack, and the presence of Kobe and Gasol on the court basically meant that they were starting again.
The overall feel of the Lakers' starting lineup was great in the first quarter.
Kobe dribbles to the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen defends Kobe.
Zhao Chen was very careful in his defense.
"Rookie, you're going to regret provoking me," Kobe said.
"Hey, come on, come on." Zhao Chen geared up.
Since traveling through time, he has played against superstars in almost every game, which makes Zhao Chen enjoy the thrill of facing off against the strong.
Zhao Chen has no interest in abusing food...
Zhao Chen tried to break Kobe's ball but couldn't.
Kobe dribbled the ball with his left hand and said, "Let's go one-on-one."
Zhao Chen said: "No problem."
As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, Kobe collected the ball on the spot and pulled it up.
Zhao Chen rushed over immediately.
Although Kobe's talent declined rapidly due to injuries, Kobe was really familiar with this trick.
Zhao Chen did not destroy Kobe's rhythm.
Beautiful as a picturesque arc.
30 to 38.
After scoring the goal, Kobe smiled at Zhao Chen and said, "Welcome to the NBA."
Thunder offense.
Zhao Chen didn't care that Kobe scored in front of him.
After all, defense is passive to offense.
If he attacks, just fight back.
Thunder offense.
Fisher still gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Kobe went to guard Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen leaned over to hold the ball and took continuous tentative steps forward and backward. Kobe's center of gravity remained unchanged.
Zhao Chen suddenly took a step forward while dribbling, and Kobe's focus changed.
Zhao Chen retreated urgently!
step!
Two steps!
Continuous steps back completely widened the distance between him and Kobe.
Kobe's eyes widened. It was the first time he saw someone step back like this.
He walks so smoothly.
To Kobe's surprise, the referee didn't blow the call.
After Zhao Chen retreated, he decisively shot a three-pointer! ! !
Gorgeous arc! !
"Uh-huh!"
33 to 38.
Kobe yelled at the referee: "Fake, he walked."
"No." The referee shook his head firmly.
Kobe felt that his view of basketball had been refreshed. This step back was really far, and it didn't even involve walking?
Zhao Chen wiped the sweat from his head.
Zhao Chen wasn't sure whether he was walking or not, he felt like he was taking a step back.
Kobe's defense was really great, allowing Zhao Chen no room to take the first step back, and allowing Zhao Chen to continue taking the second step.
"Haha, Kenny, do you think he walked?" Barkley asked Kenny Smith in the commentary box.
"Probably, let's go. How do you understand?" Kenny Smith hesitated.
"Just think of him as a three-step layup. I don't think he left," Barkley said.
"Haha, a three-step layup. Others jumped into the basket, but he stayed away from the basket..." Smith laughed.
It’s hard to tell whether Zhao Chen’s ball was a walk, but the referee didn’t call it, so the Thunder pretended it wasn’t a walk, and everyone cheered and celebrated.
Zhao Chen also raised his hands and returned to his own half.
For Zhao Chen, making a three-pointer in front of Kobe was also very exciting.
Zhao Chen is a fan of Kobe Bryant, and facing him as an opponent on the court today has a different meaning for Zhao Chen.
