When he defends Durant, at least his speed and confrontation are there. He can't stop Durant from shooting, but he can effectively prevent Durant from breaking through.

This was also the tactic the Lakers implemented in yesterday's group confrontation. Although it was not as good as the Warriors' infinite defense changes, the training effect was pretty good.

At this time, Westbrook was facing Kobe alone.

He used a big change of direction and spent some effort to get past Kobe.

When he was about to pass Kobe and drive straight to the basket like he did in the last game, Lin Tian's two-meter-tall body blocked him.

In the two games of G2 and G3, Lin Tian's several steals had already cast a slight shadow on Westbrook.

Therefore, when he saw Lin Tian, ​​he instinctively gave up the attack and wanted to pass the ball to Yin Baka behind Lin Tian.

Westbrook did whatever he wanted. He threw the ball hard to the left side of Lin Tian, ​​and Yin Baka also planned to catch the ball.

At the moment of lightning, Lin Tian seemed to have expected that Westbrook would pass the ball. He subconsciously stretched out his left hand and just intercepted the ball.

The steal was successful! Lin Tian quickly advanced to the frontcourt!

In less than four seconds, he had already rushed to the basket.

Westbrook and Robertson also followed, putting all their attention on Lin Tian.

When they were trying to prevent Lin Tian's ball, Lin Tian had an idea and threw the ball behind him.

The frustrated Kobe burst out from behind, jumped high, caught the ball from the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Bang!"

All the fans at the scene witnessed this simple and crude dunk, and they couldn't help but spontaneously stood up and applauded.

O'Neal, who was sitting in the commentary box, shouted in his rough voice: "Damn it! The connection between Lin and Kobe! Kobe dunked!"

Another commentator was also shocked: "I can't remember the last time Kobe Bryant dunked! This is so cool!"

After the dunk was successful, Kobe glared hard at Durant when he returned to defense.

Durant also touched it, looking a little embarrassed.

After Westbrook returned, he passed the ball to Durant, and it was Tucker who was guarding Durant.

Durant shook Tucker, trying to shake him off, but Tucker reacted quickly and was very confrontational, and he didn't get past him.

Unable to break through, Durant could only dribble the ball on the spot and hit a golden rooster independent jump shot.

Bang!

This jump shot was a hit. Howard, who was well positioned under the basket, grabbed his first rebound of the game.

After Howard protected the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian quickly hit the fast break and completed a three-point jumper.

After the ball was made, the Lakers had completed the lead.

The fans' enthusiasm was also completely ignited.

It is a very good media box from the perspective of watching the game. Xiaoxue was naturally not absent as an on-site reporter today.

However, unlike the other relatively calm reporters sitting next to her, Xiaoxue looked calm on the outside, but actually wanted to scream in her heart.

Although she had a camera in her hand, she would take out her cell phone to chat with Lan Lan from time to time.

Lan Lan is not a reporter and cannot get tickets for today's game. She can only stay at home and watch the game through live broadcast.

After witnessing Howard successfully blocking Westbrook's shot, Xiaoxue clenched her pink fists and muttered: "Come on, Lakers!"

Penguin Sports Live Room.

In the past two days, major sports media have released overwhelming news about Kobe.

In order to attract attention, some unscrupulous media even indiscriminately claimed that this was the last game of Kobe's career.

The huge traffic also means that this game will definitely become the most watched game so far this season.

The popularity of the Penguin Sports live broadcast room also set a new record again, reaching 53 million.

"Come on Kobe! I will always support you!"

"My youth will come to a complete end with Kobe's retirement, my youth is over!"

"Watching football for more than ten years! I have the honor to witness your retirement battle and I have no regrets. Come on, James! Funny/"

"The Lakers have reached the edge of the cliff. If Kobe retires, I will never watch the NBA again."

"I never thought that Kobe, who was so seriously injured, could complete such a cool dunk! Haha!"

"I want to watch the tiebreaker! Please give the Thunder and Donovan a chance!"

…

In the first quarter, the Lakers were on full strength and were full of momentum, catching the Thunder off guard.

On the other hand, the Thunder seem to be out of shape under the Lakers' extremely oppressive defense.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 11 points.

When the second quarter started, Lin Tian and Kobe got valuable rest time, and Howard led the team.

Howard also played extremely actively today, overwhelming his opponent Adams in all aspects.

At least that was the case in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, Howard was very efficient when he had a lot of shots.

Clarkson and Channing Fletcher's three-point shooting skills have also returned.

Not only were the Lakers' bench not at a disadvantage when compared to the Thunder's bench, they also had some subtle advantages.

The point difference is still being widened by the Lakers, so Lin Tian and Kobe don't have to rush back to the court.

If they can rest for an extra second, they will rest as much as possible, just to maintain the best condition after taking the field.

Seeing the five teammates on the court desperately defending and grabbing rebounds, Kobe also joked: "It seems that no one wants this to be the last game of my career."

"Haha!" Lin Tian laughed, "Yes! They want to create some benefits for the fans so that they can see you play a few more games."

While the two were chatting, Westbrook and Durant had already stood up from the bench and walked to the technical table at the same time, waiting for the next dead ball to appear.

This is earlier than they usually appear.
