Chapter seven hundred and ninety eight bath water(1/2)
Donovan and Mike Brown’s concerns about rotation are not unfounded.
In the second half, both sides returned to the court, and the situation on the court quickly became somewhat similar to the first quarter.
Durant and Westbrook have never been able to completely adjust their touch.
The Thunder's inside defense still exists.
At the beginning, Leonard broke into the basket, causing Collison to foul.
Leonard scored 13 points in the first quarter and only scored 2 points in the second quarter, which was definitely suppressed by Li Liang.
He can only take advantage of Li Liang's absence and get more points as soon as possible.
Once Li Liang appears, his life will probably be difficult.
Leonard's two free throws Zheng
Then, Westbrook failed to make a quick stop in the offense.
The Thunder is still very simple to fight.
Hibert got the backcourt rebound, and Kobe slowly advanced with the ball.
The Lakers are not in a hurry, and they are more likely to attack the position.
Hurao's position attack, with Kobe Love's pick-and-roll, Leonard's singles, Clarkson's impact, and Hibert's frontcourt rebounds as various components.
In general, just like the team Scott once coached, the division of labor in each position is clear and cooperation is free of gaps, and it is a typical representative of traditional basketball thinking.
Kobe and Love's pick-and-roll are initiated as offense. Love's own defensive appeal is not very strong, and the pick-and-roll is just a starting point.
The main thing is to use Kobe's passing and attacking ability to stir up the opponent's defensive formation.
Anyway, Kidd's attack ability was so good under Scott's hands, let alone Kobe?
Kobe continued to use his crotch to dribble away from Westbrook's defense, and then suddenly he threw a ball to the inside.
Hibert turned around and jumped high, received the ball, and dunked with both hands!
The Lakers are only 1 point away from chasing.
Durant stood up and after crossover from the outside, he made a quick stop and jump shot and made two points.
The two sides began to enter a tug-of-war with even force.
The Lakers beat slowly but skillfully, while the Thunder beat fast but messy.
The scores of both sides rose alternately, Kobe got a good opportunity from the outside and made a three-pointer!
66:66, the two sides tied at 4 minutes and 49 seconds in the third quarter!
The Lakers fully demonstrated their tenacity at Stamps.
Kobe also showed people another unique side, a unique way of playing.
Of course, the better Kobe played, the more sad the many fans felt.
It’s obviously still so well, but there’s still a lot of oil in the fuel tank, so why should I retire?
Li Liang knew that he had to play at this time.
Judging from the two games with the Lakers, if both sides meet in the playoffs, there may be a game.
The integration of the three Lakers Big Three is better than expected.
Love is not defensive, Leonard is not defensive, Kobe is already old, and all three of them have significant flaws.
But Scott hid all the shortcomings of the three advantages and tried his best to play to the advantages of the three advantages.
As the best coach and the 58 Witness of Miracle, Scott still has two tricks.
Donovan didn't have much tactical-related things during the suspension. He only mentioned one thing, "Strength! We need to increase our intensity, we can no longer be as slow as we are now. Are you playing golf?"
Li Liang pushed Durant and said, "Where are you, you are walking on the field again."
Sometimes Durant often walks on the court or rest with his waist during the game.
At this time, Westbrook usually takes the ball. He knows that it is useless to run actively. Anyway, the ball cannot reach his own hands, so why not take a break?
Li Liang will definitely be different after he comes on stage.
Li Liang has always been known for his high intensity in the competition. You have to keep up with his pace, otherwise you will be scolded.
Li Liang is a bit like Magic Johnson. Johnson was like this in the Lakers back then. As his teammate, if you can't keep up with his running position and can't catch his pass, you will be hit directly on your head by Johnson and scolded him.
The Thunder played a little soft tonight, as if they were several years older than the Lakers.
"Everyone cheers up, we can take revenge. I don't want a bad Christmas!"
Li Liang rarely turned on the hair dryer and blew it to everyone.
The timeout ends and the game starts again.
In the middle of the third quarter, the Thunder sent their ultimate lineup.
Li Liang arrived at the fourth position.
Durant directly gave the ball to Li Liang who was in the frontcourt.
Li Liang received the ball from outside the three-point line, turned around, held the ball, and Leonard, who defended him, hesitated for a little, and it was one step.
Li Liang directly pulled up and shot three points!
How many steps is he from the three-point line?
But this is his range.
"Swish!"
Hit, three points!
Hurao fans are so familiar with this kind of scene.
When Li Liang still hit such a three-pointer, it means he started to take real action.
The situation on the field gives people a sudden tension.
Li Liang seemed to have fired the trigger of the first shot in the war.
Subsequently, Kobe was captured by a double player during the offense.
The quick pass was given to Leonard, and the Thunder once again covered the track
The Thunder's double-teaming speed is extremely fast, and the arms of their main players are too long.
On the outside, they seemed to have compiled a big net, leaving Lakers players nowhere to escape.
In the end, the ball was in the hands of Hibert and he could only play singles at a low post.
Hibert was not prepared, turned around and threw it casually, and he had no life
Adams took the backcourt rebound and passed the ball to Westbrook.
Westbrook accelerated and passed Kobe, rushed to the basket, turned around and passed the ball to Li Liang who followed him.
Li Liang received the ball and passed it again, and it was to Robertson, who was in the open position on the left bottom corner.
Robertson did not hesitate to catch the ball, and made a three-pointer and scored again!
The strength of the Thunder is based on defense and counterattack.
Before Li Liang came, this was the foundation of their foothold.
After Li Liang arrived, he carried forward this fundamentally.
The Lakers were unable to adapt to the Thunder's defensive intensity in an instant.
The Thunder further increased its strength and began to cover the frontcourt
Westbrook and Robertson attacked Kobe together. Kobe could not withstand such exhaustion. His physical reaction speed and ability to fight were no longer as good as when he was young.
Kobe made a mistake!
The ball was cut off by Robertson, and Robertson gave it to Durant.
Durant paused on the outside, shot fakely and attracted the main defensive force, and then immediately gave Adams to follow up at the basket.
Adams didn't even dribble even when he got the ball, and he succeeded in a dunk with one-arm!
A 7-0 counterattack climax stopped the Lakers.
Only 2 minutes have passed.
The Thunder showed people what playoff intensity is.
Li Liang said bluntly, "This is what it means to play basketball. Whoever plays golf will go to drink ej's bathing water."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hairs of the Thunder generals stood up.
The magician's son's bath water?
It feels scary even if you think about it.
Durant rubbed his nose, and there was no idea what strange expression was on his face.
