The Lakers' journey in Oxford City is not over yet, with a big score of 2:1. They want to win another game here and then return to Los Angeles to end the battle.

But this is obviously not that easy, and the Thunder will certainly not give up the home court easily.

In the last round against the Spurs, they were also in a situation where they were too far behind in scores, but they quickly adjusted to turn the situation in the series.

In the playoffs, there are only two results: victory and failure in each game. Whether it loses 1 point or loses 58 points, the big score is 1 point.

The key is whether you can make adjustments and whether you can take the initiative of the series into your own hands.

If both sides are still testing the first three games and are fighting each other, they will basically be able to find a way to the fourth game and start fighting against bayonets.

Players and coaches have already been adapted to match positions, tactics, and game rhythms.

Players know how their opponent plays, how to defend more effectively, and how to attack more efficiently.

The coach knows which players can continue to play on the court, which players can no longer let him appear, what the opponent's rotation is like, and his own rotation must be slowly fixed.

There will be fewer surprises, and there will be fewer sudden outbreaks, and most of the situation will be under control.

The only thing that cannot be controlled is the players' own state, their inner fighting spirit, and their desire for victory.

From this point of view, the Thunder and the Lakers are comparable.

Both sides have strong desire for championships and will to win, and neither can easily destroy the other party.

Even though the Thunder suffered a major blow in the third game and were covered with Li Liang's three-pointer, they were still cheered up quickly.

In the fourth game, they still have a chance.

Take it, and go to Los Angeles to play Tianwang Mountain.

If you lose, you will fall behind 1:3, and the series will become extremely difficult.

So in the fourth game, the Thunder fought for victory.

One day after the third game, the Thunder team conducted high-intensity training. Brooks hoped to use this method to keep the players feeling the game and the thirst for victory.

Mike Brown chose to give the players a holiday. Although there are basically no entertainment items during holidays in Oxford City, it is always good to let the veterans rest.

Li Liang stayed in the room all day and didn't go out. It would be great if Zhu Shu was there, and he would definitely take Zhu Shu around Oshima.

Since joining the NBA, many of Li Liang's hobbies have been abandoned.

For example, playing video games, surfing, dancing, singing, etc.

Even Zhu Shu was like him. The game console at home had been idle for a long time. She had plenty of time to run everywhere, and she had less and less spare time in her life.

Maybe people are like this after work. Many things that I couldn’t put down in the past have been gradually forgotten.

But Li Liang is different. If you want to play, he still has a system to play!

However, after entering the system and walking around, the tasks are becoming increasingly difficult to do now.

If you do a task in one day, your thunder status will definitely be affected tomorrow.

Another point is that after that night, the system seems to be not as fun as before.

...

After spending a boring day in Oscar, it finally came the fourth game day.

The Lakers team conducted simple training at noon and conducted a shooting exercise in the afternoon. Brown led the team to the Ford Center to warm up.

Before the fourth game, many media predicted that this Thunder would face a big counterattack.

They will never make many mistakes like they did in the last game and give the Lakers such a big lead.

Their attention will be more focused and they will definitely play very aggressively.

These predictions from the media make sense and come true after the game began.

In this game, Brooks no longer makes any adjustments, including hard bridges and hard horses, regular lineups, normal matches and Lakers to compete for attack and defense.

A little change was made in the rotation, reducing Perkins' playing time and Martin's playing time.

Increase Collison's playing time and increase defender Reggie Jackson's playing time.

In the first three games, Perkins and Martin were not very good on the court.

Perkins used it to defend, but the defense performance was average, but the offense dragged the back.

Martin used it to attack, but as a result, the shooting percentage on the offensive end was low, and there was another loophole in defense.

When Collison was on the court, at least the team's offense was not four to five, and Collison still had an offensive threat.

Reggie Jackson's performance was even more tough. He was very good at attacking and defending on the court, much better than the soft Martin.

After establishing a new rotation, the Thunder beat the Lakers 9:2 at the beginning, taking the lead.

The Thunder learned from the lessons from the last game and protected the backcourt rebounds very closely, and decided not to give Li Liang the chance to steal the rebounds.

The game gradually entered the thunder rhythm, just like a sledgehammer, attacking one after another, always maintaining a fast pace.

The defensive end has been maintained at a high intensity, causing the Lakers' position offense to stagnate.

The Lakers' transfer ball from the outside was greatly restricted, and Li Liang was fully guarded by Durant from the beginning of the game.

Before the game began, coach Durant and Brooks volunteered to guard against Bruce Lee in this game.

The Thunder coaching staff agreed to Durant's request, and Durant followed closely throughout the game, almost giving Li Liang a chance to make a phone call.

In the first half, Li Liang scored only 3 points, while Kobe scored 20 points, but the Lakers were still 48:59, 11 points behind the Thunder.

The performance of both sides seems to be missing compared to the previous game.

But in the third quarter, the Lakers' counterattack came in an orderly manner.

They are not like Thunder, and they hope to break out in a few minutes to smooth out the gap.

The Lakers team adjusted their mentality during the halftime break, and Mike Brown asked the players to be patient and continue to stick to their positional offense.

In the second half, the Lakers will allocate their offensive center of gravity more reasonably, Howard's singles, Kobe's singles, Nash's breakthrough, and Li Liang's three-pointer waiting for an opportunity.

When Howard, Kobe, and Nash all started to score goals, Li Liang's point naturally opened.

Because the big guys attracted defense, Li Liang made three-pointers, which was what he was good at.

The Lakers narrowed the score bit by bit, and narrowed the score difference bit by bit.

As the third quarter approached the end of the year, the 11-point gap was unknowingly eliminated!

A three-pointer that seized the opportunity in Li Liang's counterattack made the Lakers surpass the score!

Brooks was a little panicked now. What's going on? Why do you feel like you really can't beat it?

The Lakers showed calmness and smoothness in the offense in the third quarter, which made people vaguely see the style of a super strong team.

This is a season of accumulation and a season of sublimation.

Li Liang did not use props or threw three-pointers wildly. He just integrated into the Lakers team and did what he should do.

Pass, support, rebound, and provide three-point threat.

The Lakers machine has been running for a season and is rushing towards their best condition.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers remained ahead and they had the chance to take away the Thunder again on the away game.

At this time, the referee gave the Lakers two unfavorable penalties.

Nash's three-point defensive foul once made Westbrook hit three free throws on the free throw line.

Then, Howard was awarded an offensive foul on the offense, his fifth foul on the game.

In a look of annoyance, Howard had to leave the court early for a break.

Howard performed quite well tonight. With the outside being restricted, Howard put tremendous pressure on the Thunder in the inside.

Force the Thunder to continue to maintain high pressure on the outside, making the Lakers' offense smoother.

As a result, the Thunder seized the opportunity and scored an 8:0 wave, bringing the situation back to the Thunder.

In the last three minutes of the game, the Lakers were still 7 points behind.

This is, Li Liang stood up. He first took Kobe's pass from the outside and made a difficult drift three-pointer.

Then, he scored a backcourt rebound on the defensive end and handed the ball to Kobe, and made a screening cooperation with Kobe, and missed the ball with a three-pointer.

But Gasol grabbed the frontcourt rebound and passed the ball back. Li Liang received the ball against Durant's defense and hit it again!

The Thunder players and fans on the scene were numb, so why is this guy coming again?

The difference narrowed to 1 point.

Although Durant immediately shot an answer in the defense                                                          �

However, Li Liang ran continuously, and he tore the left bottom corner to a small chance. Li Liang received Nash's pass and made an extremely lucky three-pointer at almost a negative angle.

The ball was bumped on the basket, bounced up, then bounced a little at the top of the rebound, and finally fell into the basket!

The fans of Ford Center were heartbroken, and Li Liang's fifth three-pointer was in trouble.

What kind of three-point shooting ability is this! In two minutes, three-point shooting three-point shooting.

Needless to say, Li Liang used the upgrade sticker again, but it was still a [s] level.
