28 to 30
Boban's appearance can help Zhao Chen share the defensive attention when he gets the ball in the low post.
As long as it's Zhao Chen's one-on-one, no matter how he fights, Zhao Chen has a way to score points.
Ibaka passes the ball to Westbrook.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook dribbles the ball forward.
The Lakers increased their defensive intensity.
Every position is under intense pressure.
The Thunder's second lineup was not easy to play. After one pass, they were unable to find a good breakthrough opportunity.
Westbrook gave the ball to Ibaka in the right corner.
There is a small gap in Ibaka's position.
In everyone's eyes, Ibaka has no three-point shooting ability.
But at this time, Ibaka pulled it up and threw it.
Ibaka's shot was very slow, but he shot it anyway.
Although the curvature is average, the final result is "swish!"
31 to 30.
This ball is a go-ahead ball.
Zhao Chen's face on the field began to look solemn.
Ibaka's long-range shooting ability should be fully developed, which makes it even harder to defend.

Zhao Chen's eyes were aimed at the basket. Zhao Chen used his strong body to get rid of Robertson and then took three steps.
Grabbing the ball with one hand, raising it high, dodging Ibaka's block in the air, Zhao Chen grabbed the ball and pulled it back.
The two of them competed to see who could stay longer in heaven.
When Ibaka fell, he made an easy layup!
Cut the board into the frame.
31 to 32.
"Talent ball, this ball is talent. I'll wait for you to fall first, and then I'll make a layup."
"Zhao Chen had the absolute upper hand in the competition with Ibaka."
Buckley and Smith both screamed.
In basketball games, many times it is not the reasonable ball that makes people feel blood pumping, but many times it is the talented ball that makes people feel like shit.
Ibaka's physical talent is one of the best among NBA players, but he is still suppressed by Zhao Chen.
Ibaka was sweating continuously. He couldn't understand how Zhao Chen could stay in the air for so long, as if he had stopped in the air.
Zhao Chen retreated slowly. In this high-intensity competition, talent is the most important.
Time is running out in the first quarter.
Westbrook on the court quickly launched a counterattack.
He reached the frontcourt in just two dribbles.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Westbrook quickly made a zombie jump shot from outside the three-point line in order to seize the offensive ball for one round.

Familiar style, familiar blacksmithing.

Ibaka's defense had no effect, and the basketball drew a high arc.
"Uh-huh!"
31 to 34.

"Derek, great job!" Zhao Chen high-fived Ross.
Ross shouted at Zhao Chen: "I can't just watch your performance."
Thunder offense.
Westbrook hits the court at full speed.
Westbrook was very fast, and Zhao Chen didn't even stop him from changing direction with a scissor step. The defense was very passive.
Zhao Chen chased back, but failed to catch up. At the last moment, Westbrook took the lead and put the ball into the basket!
33 to 34.
1.2 seconds, when everyone thought the score in this quarter would be like this.
Thunder players also instinctively relaxed their defense.
Ross, who rushed back, ran to the baseline to serve, and sent the ball to Zhao Chen who was near the midfield line.
After receiving the pass, Zhao Chen didn't hesitate at all and just pulled out from where he was!
Take a quick shot and the basketball draws a super long arc!
“Buzz!!!”
The electronic buzzer sounded, and whether the game was in or not, the first quarter time was over.
In everyone’s exclamation!
"Shua!!"
33 to 37.
Zhao Chen kept his hand shape and stood there, while the Lakers players rushed towards him.
It was a three-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
A very exciting buzzer beater.
"Incredible touch. This shot was definitely not an accident. Even if Zhao is given another chance to shoot like this, I think he can make it."
"He seems to be born for the long three-pointer."
"Yes, Zhao's presence has made three-pointers popular, especially as more and more shots are taken far away from the three-point line."
"These three-pointers were almost difficult to see before Zhao Chen appeared, but Zhao made all of them very ordinary."
.....
Rest between sessions.
Scott arranged for Rose, Booker, Zhao Chen, Arab League, and Harrell to play in the second quarter rotation.
Now that the score was tight, Scott did not dare to play Zhao Chen easily.
This lineup is designed to speed up, and Boban's speed is far from keeping up with the pace of the playoffs.
The Lakers' idea is to use impact to overwhelm the Thunder's second lineup.

36 to 37.
Durant's offense cannot be blocked by Zhao Chen again and again.
After Durant scored, he challenged Zhao Chen: "You can't guard me."
Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "It's just luck."
Durant was a little depressed about Zhao Chen's indifference.
Lakers offense.

The Lakers' offense came very quickly, and this wave of offense only took 6 seconds.

Donovan believes that as long as Durant takes big strides, the Lakers' defenders can't stop Durant.
It's time to fight!
