Kobe was so tired! In the first half of the first quarter, he was targeted by the Thunder. Even if he couldn't guard it on the defensive end, he only scored two points on the offensive end.

I thought that after Clarkson came on the court, his speed would catch up and his defense would be slightly better.

But Westbrook and the Thunder quickly taught Clarkson how to do things.

Westbrook didn't even need his teammates to help with pick-and-rolls, and repeatedly succeeded in beating Clarkson in isolation.

If we continue playing like this, the point difference will be 20 points!

There was no way, Lin Tian could only temporarily sacrifice his defense against Durant and start to help Clarkson defend Westbrook.

As for Durant's defense, we can only let Nick Young and Tucker help wipe his ass.

This kind of defensive effect is not very good.

Westbrook has become much smarter in his game this season. Although he is in a hot state, he does not hesitate to pass the ball when facing Lin Tian's help defense.

Without Lin Tian as a defensive leader, Durant would shoot every time he caught the ball without mercy!

The Lakers are not able to pose much of a threat to the Thunder on the offensive end.

Lin Tian will definitely be flanked when he gets the ball!

At this time, the ball cannot be passed to the inside because Adams is well positioned and Howard cannot get out of the outside.

When he faced a double attack, he would either force the ball himself or give the ball to Nick Young, Clarkson or Tucker in the corner.

Among them, Clarkson had the biggest opening every time because Westbrook was not so focused on his defense. Westbrook also participated in double-teaming Lin Tian several times.

Moreover, Westbrook is more obsessed with rebounding than guarding people. He likes to watch the ball rather than people on the court.

When Lin Tian was attacking with the ball, he passed the ball to Clarkson on the outside several times.

But Clarkson's performance today seemed to be back to the first game.

No matter how he shoots the three-point shot, it's always an iron shot!

As his self-confidence collapsed, after missing three open three-pointers in a row, Clarkson once again received a pass from Lin Tian and made a shooting motion to subconsciously shoot. He hesitated, then simply gave up shooting three-pointers and chose

A breakthrough.

Beep……

As soon as Clarkson took a step, referee Crawford blew the whistle and gave him a walking foul.

It is very easy to move the pivot foot when the fake throw is real, and if the pivot foot moves, it is a walking foul.

At this moment! The cheers of the fans echoed throughout the stadium.

Scott on the sidelines kept scratching his bald head, and Kobe on the bench also kept shaking his head.

On the Thunder bench, all the bench players jumped up with excitement, and Donovan also pumped his fist excitedly.

Not being able to defend and not making shots is the most fundamental problem for the Lakers right now.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, Lin Tian was replaced by Scott and Durant, one of the Thunder's twin stars, also came off the court to rest.

Without Lin Tian's organization, when the Lakers attack, most of the time they can only give the ball to Howard.

Howard's performance was pretty good, but the Thunder's offensive firepower was still fierce.

After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 17!

It can be said that they were stunned by the Thunder in the first quarter.

Clarkson looked very embarrassed when he was sitting on the bench to rest. Scott comforted him and asked him to be firm.

The players on both sides were not given much rest time, and the second quarter started quickly.

At Lin Tian's request, he returned to the court.

This period of time is a rare time when both Thunder players are not present. If we don't chase points at this time, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to chase points.

Among the Thunder's starting lineup, there is also a player who has not rested yet, and that is Andre Roberson.

Robertson defended Kobe Bryant in the first quarter and came to harass Lin Tian in the second quarter.

His defense is a bit like Tony Allen's, very clean but very oppressive.

Under Robertson's strong defense, Lin Tian scored three difficult goals in a row! The fans at the scene were stunned.

Donovan couldn't sit still! Less than two minutes into the second quarter, he sent in his main force again and continued to double-team Lin Tian.

Lin Tian, ​​who has long been accustomed to being double-teamed, is not afraid of being double-teamed, but of his teammates not making three-pointers.

The ball was given to Nick Young, who missed an open three-pointer. The ball was given to Clarkson, and needless to say, he still couldn't make the shot.

He even gave the ball to Channing Fletcher. Fletcher, who shot 50% of his three-pointers this season, didn't score!

"Oh! My God! The Lakers' three-point shooting percentage was too low today!" Barkley covered his eyes in the studio.

Smith also smiled bitterly: "It's understandable if you miss a three-pointer when someone is defending you! But they don't make many open three-pointers!"

"Looks like the Lakers ran out of luck last game!"

"In the era when three-pointers are prevalent, when your three-pointers cannot go in, it will be difficult for you to win the game."

"Obviously, the Lakers are struggling right now. The best player on the team is being double-teamed, but his teammates are unable to give him the help he deserves."

…

After the first half, the Lakers were already trailing by 25 points.

Throughout the first half, they shot a total of 14 three-pointers, but only hit two of them! The shooting rate was only 14%!

On the other hand, the Thunder shot 15 three-pointers in the half and hit 8 of them! The shooting rate was over 50%! Even Robertson scored a three-pointer.

It can be said that they were completely beaten by the Thunder in terms of three-pointers! Embarrassingly, it was not just three-pointers that they were beaten by.

Penguin Sports live broadcast room, the popularity of the live broadcast room has exceeded 50 million! It is comparable to Kobe Bryant’s last game of the regular season.

But the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was full of hostility.

"What the hell are the Lakers playing today? Lin Tian can't even carry his life to C! He's vomiting!"

"The Thunder's best sixth man Clarkson! Hahahahaha!"

"Kobe Bryant has long told Clarkson to stay away from the Kardashian women. Why doesn't this guy listen?"

"Scott, listen to me! Look at Lin Tian in good times! Nick Young in desperate times!"

"Oh! Kobe is really old! Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"

"The penultimate game of Kobe's career, please watch and cherish it!"

"Hahahaha! This team is not on the same level to begin with, but Lin Tian stole the victory in the first two games, and everyone is praised as a god!"

…

After the start of the second half, the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage did not pick up.

In desperation, Lin Tian could only break through the defense of several people again and again.

Such a style of play is destined to be inefficient, and it also consumes a huge amount of his physical energy.

Although Lin Tian stood on the free throw line time and time again, he couldn't be happy.

The Thunder started stalling for time in the third quarter.

Their off-ball screen and horn tactics were also executed very successfully. The Lakers were too eager to pursue, but instead found themselves in trouble.

Not only was the score not narrowed, it was also widened.

Xiaoxue, who was far away in Los Angeles, saw the last half of the third quarter and was no longer in the mood to eat potato chips.
Chapter completed!
