Chapter 1237 Answer-Balls Emerge One After Another!
Starting 10-2, the Lakers stopped the Thunder in just 3 minutes. Staples' wave of cheers became higher and higher, and it seemed that he wanted to completely overthrow the Thunder at the start!
The Thunder called a timeout, and they also discovered that the Lakers were too powerful at this time and had the power of the home court. It would be difficult to fight hard at this moment, but it was not without a chance!
The Lakers' offense is obviously greater than their defense. This is the result of the Thunder's coach's observation in the past three minutes. Therefore, the Thunder need to let the second young player display their offensive level to have a chance of victory against the attacker!
And Durant can't just attack alone, he needs to create opportunities for Westbrook!
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder concentrated the ball more thoroughly. Ji Feng defended Durant alone. The strong defense prevented Durant from taking a shot. However, Durant calmed down and began to pass the ball. After the pick-and-roll, Westbrook started Showing off his power, he hit a three-pointer from the outside to stabilize the situation.
Then Westbrook began to attack the inside. The Lakers fouled twice in a row. Westbrook hit 3 of 4 free throws. The Thunder stabilized their position at the beginning.
However, Ji Feng first beat Durant to score 2+1 to expand the score, and then assisted Kobe to hit a three-pointer. The two teams began to get on the right track, with the scores rising alternately. After the first quarter, the Lakers led 30-22 by 8 points. Slightly dominant.
Obviously, both sides were in the testing phase in the first quarter. The Lakers played more proactively and had a higher shooting percentage. However, after the Thunder paused, they seized on the problem that the Lakers' defense was not tight enough. Durant and Westbrook played against the Thunder. The Gemini helped the Thunder maintain the score.
The Thunder's second youngster showed his talents for the first time tonight, scoring 17 points together in the first quarter. Barkley praised them for the first time in a long time, saying that they have the opportunity to become a super combination like the Lakers' JK in the future.
In the second quarter, the substitutes led by Durant and the substitutes led by Kobe started a battle. Without the restrictions of Ji Feng, Ariza's defense posed a much smaller threat to Durant. He scored two pull-up jumpers in the opening game. 4 points, and then he broke through and licked the basket with a long arm and scored 6 points in a row.
During this period, the Thunder already had the shadow of the king's explosive combination. The two played together in the beginning, and then the two took turns to lead the bench, using their superhuman scoring ability to lead the team forward. Except for them, everyone else was just a tool. , poor Jeff Green is pretty marginalized right now.
From a tactical point of view, it is ridiculous, but the effect is good. After all, the offensive ability of these two people is really strong. Even in the final stage when the score is behind, these two people will chase points together like crazy. The whole world knows that the Thunder's offense relies on Dewey is the second young player, but most teams in the league still have no solution. The offensive talents of the two are too outstanding.
However, there is still no comparison with Kobe at this time. Kobe will play wonderful answer-ball every time Durant scores, and the Thunder's defense also poses no threat to Kobe. Kobe can only pray that he will not score.
Of course, such prayers have little effect on Kobe, who has a hot hand. Kobe led the team for 6 minutes, with a score of 43-30, and the Lakers continued to expand their lead.
Lakers fans were in a good mood. They led by 13 points before halftime, and victory seemed to be waving to them.
This atmosphere also affected the players on the Lakers. They suddenly became a little lax, especially Kobe and Gasol. When Ji Feng came on the court, the original intention was to let Kobe and Gasol take turns. After taking a break, we started to work hard in the second half, but who knew something went wrong with this substitution.
The newly-replaced Walton and Larmanovic have not yet entered the state, but the Thunder seized this opportunity!
Durant really wanted to win, and he did not relax because he was 13 points behind. When he saw the Lakers making two consecutive substitutions, he realized that the opportunity was here!
On the offensive end, Durant took the initiative to attract Ji Feng's defense, and then provided the ball for Jeff Green and Westbrook!
Westbrook first made a sudden dunk, and then Jeff Green succeeded in a single against Radmanovic. On the Lakers side, Ji Feng did not attack by himself but chose to pass the ball, but failed to make a shot. So 2 minutes later, the Lakers' The lead was reduced to 6 points!
Then Durant faced Ji Feng and completed a three-point shot. Although Ji Feng almost covered him, the difference was a thousand miles away. The basketball was lucky to hit the board high and into the frame, and the point difference was only 3 points!
"It's fake..." Lakers fans were immediately poured a lot of cold water on the two-minute scene. Is this going to be overturned?!
"YES!" Westbrook jumped on Durant's back!
Westbrook is very happy. This is the most exciting time he has ever played against the Lakers. And Adu's ball is very suitable for him. It is not easy to score on Ji Feng's head. This ball is too exciting. Got it!
"Let me do one!" shouted Westbrook, who was bursting with confidence. He seemed to feel that he could do it again!
Just do it!
Westbrook's first goal was to hit Ji Feng in baseline singles. It was a familiar routine. Ji Feng felt that the turtle's back was as hard as iron, and he kept looking for pressure and body collisions on him.
However, Ji Feng did not lose his position at all, and at the same time, he blocked the route for him to turn around and break through. However, just when everyone thought that the ball would not be successful, Westbrook made a move that was not his conventional weapon!
Turn around and take a fadeaway jumper!
Ji Feng noticed it, but Westbrook's scissor kick was too good for Tracy McGrady, so Ji Feng could only choose to seal his eyes.
But this ball is still lucky, it is a hit!
"Hoo~!" Westbrook roared excitedly. This was his first success in singles against Ji Feng!
The point difference is only 1 point!
Lakers fans’ hearts are so cold...
However, when the Zen Master saw this scene, he unexpectedly called Gasol back, who was just about to play. This scene made many fans very helpless. The Zen Master started again...
"Is there really no need to change? We are passive." Cooper came up and said.
"Well, I was going to change just now, but the two little guys over there were having too much fun, so we'd better wait and see Ji Feng's response." Zen Master Lao Shen said sincerely, he would not say that they chose to target Ji Feng was really pleased, and he couldn't wait for Ji Feng to respond!
"Ji Summit will respond!" Barkley also said confidently.
Sure enough, as they said, Ji Feng will get serious in the next round!
Dribbling quickly and changing direction with his hips, Durant was shaking and constantly changing his steps. Ji Feng's dribbling was so handsome. Almost every change was accompanied by a burst of exclamation. Then he stopped with a sudden change of rhythm, and with a hip Making a move to shoot, Durant jumped up, but it was just a fake move. Ji Feng successfully deceived the Turtle by praying to Buddha. His eyes were empty. He took another step forward and succeeded in a jump shot!
But this is just an appetizer!
Then Durant wanted to do another cool move in front of Ji Feng, but Ji Feng didn't give him a chance to take action at all. Aren't you accurate? My buddy cut your ball first!
Snapped!
Ji Feng succeeded in a one-stop gliding split!
Durant was sanctioned twice in a row!
