Chapter 324 I can't get through it(1/2)
Mike Brown was still a little anxious.
Before the game started, they were all 20,000 or 50,000 yuan, full of confidence, which made Mike Brown feel that he was sure to win this game.
So he fully believes that the players have not made too many arrangements, and feels that experienced veterans can definitely handle it.
As a result, the first quarter was called this as a son?
Especially Li Liang, one of the two three-pointers in the first quarter was not scored, and he didn’t get a single point. What could he score?
But during the break during the holidays, the Lakers players all looked calm.
Li Liang, Nash, and Kobe gathered together and whispered.
Before, the three of them often "conspired" to fight, regardless of what Mike Bad-Law thought.
Now not only the three of them, Howard and Gasol have joined in, making Mike Brown feel isolated.
But seeing them communicating and communicating seriously, Mike Brown knew that he could hang up the phone with confidence!
Li Liang and others are indeed discussing the situation in the first section.
In fact, they play defense and offense normally, but they are not sure about a few good opportunities.
For example, Li Liang grasped the frontcourt rebounds in the third game, but he didn't have this game because the Thunder paid attention to it and focused on the focus.
Also, the Thunder's offense was actually very messy and did not really tear the Lakers' defense line.
Under Li Liang's command, the Lakers' man-tagging tactics are very good, and they amplify Perkins' weakness.
It’s just that the Thunder players are in excellent condition and have made some difficult goals, so the score is widened.
The 9-point gap is not very big, and everyone said that it can be recovered.
So after some exchange, everyone thought there was no problem and continued to play according to the rhythm of the first quarter.
As for Brown...who cares about him?
In the second quarter, the second team of both sides was on the court, Lakers Gasol, O'Neal Jr., Li Liang, Mix and Ci Shiping.
The Thunder attacked first, and Martin missed the mid-range shot from the run, but Collison got the frontcourt rebound.
He was hit by a tip-in at the basket and was hit by a big hat behind Li Liang!
Collison did not shake Li Liang up after several fake moves, and finally got a hat.
The Lakers did not rush to counterattack, and waited for Gasol to land, and beat Collison at low post, causing Collison to foul and go to the free throw line.
The Lakers' thinking is very clear. In four consecutive games, the second team Gasol's Thunder did not solve the problem, so let's insist on playing this point.
Gasol made both free throws, 28:21.
Then, both sides scored no points in both rounds of attack.
After the Thunder replaced Perkins and Ibaka, Brooks tried Tabit.
But in a Lakers' offense, Li Liang received the ball from the bottom corner from the outside, and Tabit replaced the defense.
Li Liang shook Tabit with a three-pointer and then ran into it and committed a foul, and three free throws!
With no score on both sides for a long time, Tabit's foul was a gift package from heaven.
Li Liang's free throw is very stable. He has not lost his free throw since entering the playoffs.
All three free throws were hit, 28:24, and they caught up to 4 points.
Afterwards, Fisher broke through the offense, then threw a high ball to assist the inside lineman Collison, who made two points with a small throw.
Thunder used all his skills, and basically used all kinds of moves.
Every player of the Thunder can break in, rush and pass when he gets the ball. If it really doesn't work, he will shoot by himself.
The Lakers still play very well and insist on playing tactics when they feel bad.
In the previous few games, the Lakers' positional warfare tactics forced by the Thunder could not be very good.
And in the fourth quarter of the last game, the Lakers team suddenly became enlightened. It may be that the quantitative change caused the qualitative change, and they slowly found the feeling of positional warfare.
After several free throws alleviated the scoring pressure, the Lakers' position cooperated smoothly. In the end, Li Liang passed the ball with a high position, and Ci Shi cut the ball and made a layup.
The Lakers are still behind the Thunder, and the scene is a bit tepid, and Stamps fans are a little anxious.
Why are you always behind? Why didn't Bruce Lee come up with a string of three-pointers and immediately smooth out the gap?
The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game in front of the TV were also anxious, waiting for Li Liang to rain three points, but they slowly played the position and helped.
In fact, the Thunder players and coaches are also very anxious, wondering when will Li Liang shoot a three-pointer?
Although the first quarter was not in two, the third and fourth games really cast the Thunderman out of the shadow. It's really terrible, brother.
Li Liang is now using this deterrence to attract the Thunder defense at a high position, making balls, pick-and-rolls, and supporting teammates.
After all, Li Liang's tactical qualities were taught by several famous teachers. The complex ones were not enough to be beaten, and the basic ones were very solid.
The Lakers' offense gradually became smoother from stagnant, with more coordination between internal and external lines, and more passes became more and more free.
But the Lakers only maintained a score difference of about 5 points with the Thunder, and did not tie or overtake the score difference.
In fact, Li Liang can knock on a medicine, throw it into a three-pointer, and then steal one with [Death Entangle], and throw another three-pointer, won't he win?
But the fourth game reminded Li Liang that using props is risky.
The real low risk is that the team is stronger than the opponent, and the Lakers can do it.
When Li Liang got off the court in the second quarter, the two sides scored 41:38, the Lakers were three points behind, and the Thunder called a timeout.
At the beginning, the Lakers dug a hole for themselves, but now they are digging and filling the holes bit by bit.
Sometimes, it is inevitable that pitfalls can be played in all games, but not all games can be played in the advantageous games or the wind.
How to fight against the disadvantaged situation and against the wind is a test that every strong team must withstand.
The Lakers are different from the Thunder. Their attacks are not fierce, but they are like boiling a frog in warm water, and the water temperature is increasing little by little.
After Nash and Kobe reappeared, they continued to maintain a slow pace and fought against the Thunder.
Thunder wanted to speed up, but found that it could no longer be raised.
The Thunder still wanted to disrupt the battle, but with the increase in the success rate of the Lakers' positional battle, it would still be chaotic.
They could only set up a formation with the Lakers and slowly fight the position.
And this is not what they are good at, but they have no choice.
At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 53:50, and the Thunder still led the Lakers by 3 points.
The Lakers were 9 points behind in the first quarter and only scored 19 points, and scored 31 points in the second quarter. The offense should be said to be quite good.
During the intermission, in the Lakers' locker room, the players' expressions were all slack, but not slackened.
Everyone began to discuss the offensive tactics in the second half. Nash took the tactical board and began to explain, while everyone else was listening.
Of course, Mike Brown was listening, and he listened very seriously.
Nash said that the third quarter will still be very difficult, and we must use positional battles to slowly regain the advantage.
"But don't think about killing your opponent directly with one move. This game will never be so easy. We must always be vigilant, be careful, and not make mistakes. If we make mistakes and are caught by our opponents, we will be done."
Nash reminds everyone that it is good to have confidence, but if you are conceited, the result will be miserable.
And so far, the team is still behind and is not the lead.
The intermission ended and the third quarter began.
The Thunder players looked a little tired, and they played very hard in the first half.
Fighting in chaos is very physically consuming, but Thunder is young and they have the capital to fight.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Thunder made a mistake. Sefrosa failed to catch the ball. The ball was interfered by Kobe and went out of the sideline. The Lakers had the right to play.
In the third quarter, the Lakers' first offense, the ball was handed to Li Liang after repeated transfers.
Ibaka thought Li Liang wanted to make a three-pointer, so he rushed out, but Li Liang actually dribbled the ball and broke through?
Halfway through the road, he made a quick stop and hit the board with a jump shot with a 45-degree jump shot!
The difference between the two sides narrowed to 1 point.
Durant held the ball from the outside, and under Ci Shiping's defense, he chose to pass the ball to Westbrook on the bottom.
Westbrook rushed to the ball, but when he arrived at the inside, he was attacked by three people from the Lakers!
But Westbrook still forced the ball out, causing Nash to foul.
He scored both free throws, but he still scored 3 points.
The Lakers chose the most secure offensive method, Kobe asked for the ball from the low post on the left.
One-on-one hit Sefrosa, and after a continuous turn, he made a backward jump shot.
The Lakers' offensive rhythm is getting better and better. When and who will use the game, the players on the court are aware of it.
Thunder Durant immediately returned with his color, and the big circle of the baseline was swept away Ci Shiping's defense, and received Westbrook's pass 45 degrees from the right side, making a three-pointer!
58:54, the Thunder expanded the score difference, and this ball is very critical.
Li Liang did not answer the ball at this time, but passed the ball from the wing to Kobe who cut the ball in the counterattack.
Kobe shook Ibaka away with a beautiful step under the basket, and made a layup with a low hand with his left hand.
58:56.
Then, the Lakers almost deflated the Thunder, but Perkins got the ball but did not dare to attack. In the end, Westbrook threw one of the balls from the outside and missed it.
Li Liang got a long pass from the rebound, and Ci Shi rushed straight to the basket, but the layup was fanned out by Ibaka who followed him!
The Lakers have never been able to tie the score, and Lakers fans are all choosing their hearts in their throats.
During the counterattack, the Thunder conducted the ball continuously, Durant received the ball from the right corner, and made a three-pointer again!
