Chapter 1975 Breaking the Single-Game Three-Point Record in the Playoffs

With a 16-point difference, the originally aggressive Thunder lost their temper by the Lakers. At halftime, the Thunder locker room fell into silence.

If I put it before the game, it would be a small thing to be slapped in the face, but it would be a big thing to lose the crucial home court. If they remember correctly, they are still 2-1 behind. If this game continues like this, then they will be far away from going home to fish. It's really not that far away.

But Brooks has no good solution. With a glance, you don't even know what changes can be made in the second half. As just said, the three Thunder young men performed normally tonight. Durant was even a little outstanding. Although he is a role player, It's a lot wider than the Lakers, but this is the norm for the Thunder. Throughout the season, role players have been responsible for the dirty work, and there aren't many tactics formulated for them. At this critical moment, I want them to stand up and save the situation. Defeat, this is too difficult.

In summary…

"Bang!" Brooks threw the tactical board into a wave and rubbed the top of his head, which was not very lush, twice. So how can we save this game? !

In fact, there is no way to save it. The outside commentators and fans have all thought of it for the Thunder.

O'Neal said: "The Thunder ignored the Lakers' shooters on the outside. They even fired their shots at the beginning and chose to flank the intruders. This choice cannot be said to be wrong. It can only be said that they did not expect the Lakers' shooters to be so determined. In the first half, They actually played very well in the game, but the rhythm was completely driven by the Lakers. If they want to complete the reversal in the second half, there are only two ways. The first is to expect the Lakers' feel to decline. This is very likely to happen. After all, the Lakers' overall shooting percentage in the first half was as high as 60.5%, which is much higher than the season average. Of course, this is also difficult to guarantee. Once the Lakers continue to maintain the feel, the Thunder will probably be in trouble. The second method is to do it yourself Able to match the Lakers' offense and strengthen defense, allowing the Lakers to make mistakes and allowing the Thunder to counterattack and chase points!"

Well, O'Neal still gave very sincere advice, at least it was much better than what many netizens said, "Hurry up and worship God during the halftime break."

But these two are equally difficult for the Thunder to achieve. I won’t mention the first one. It basically depends on fate. On the second day, it will be difficult for the Thunder to strengthen their defense. This season, the Thunder’s typical offense is strong and defensive. Ranking only tenth in the league, it would be difficult for someone to suddenly increase their defensive intensity, so the Thunder chose to match the Lakers' offensive firepower!

Attack!

Isn't it just shooting three-pointers? Who can't be the same!

Just vote and that's it!

So Brooks made a desperate move. Harden and Durant, the Thunder's two most reliable three-point shooters, were paired with Westbrook, a player with occasional three-point ability. Ibaka, a guy with extremely athletic ability, and Perkins were added in the paint. Instead, Hei Youteng was replaced by a substitute player. His replacement was also Hei Youtang, but he was shorter, thinner, and better at running and jumping.

In fact, when he was young, Perkins could be regarded as a person who relied on his body to make a living. However, after several serious injuries in the Celtics, especially the knee injury in the playoffs three years ago, he could no longer jump. The Thunder replaced him for the purpose. It is obvious that they are going to fight quickly!

When Ji Feng looked at the Thunder's lineup, he felt that the Thunder were in a pill.

Although this lineup seems to be able to run and jump, with over-the-top physical fitness and strong offensive ability, it has no defensive ability at all. The three young masters basically attack the strong and defend the weak. Without the barrier of Perkins in the inside, once the shot is made, If you don’t advance, it will be a disaster.

But Westbrook is Westbrook. As soon as the third quarter started, Westbrook implemented his tactics, holding the ball against Blake, holding the ball in a straight line and forcing a layup.

This ball also enhanced the Thunder's confidence.

However, for the Lakers, Ji Feng controlled the pace. After halftime, he handed the ball to Kobe. Kobe and Bynum played a pick-and-roll. Harden couldn't keep up with Kobe's speed. Maybe he was used to it. So Kobe went directly to the basket after the crossover, and the Thunder defended. Without Perkins, the threat was greatly reduced, and Kobe also made an easy throw.

Still not working, I still have to shoot a three-pointer!

Brooks waved his hand and signaled the Thunder to start looking for three-point opportunities, but it was too deliberate. With this lineup, any fool knows what you are going to do.

So Ji Feng made a steal, and then turned around and hit a chasing three-pointer, which made the Thunder's already garbage situation worse.

Durant was anxious. He slid from the top of the arc to the baseline, caught the ball and threw it, a big three-pointer. However, the Lakers protected the rebound and counterattacked on the fast break. Ji Feng made a three-pointer, scaring the pursuer and took off. , who knew Ji Feng went straight to the basket.

Who could have imagined that Ji Feng would go to the basket and pass the defense back in a one-on-two!

Kobe catches the ball from the three-point line and does it again!

Swish, two and three points.

Fortunately, on the Thunder's side, Harden, who was a colander on the defensive end, finally used a three-pointer to save the Thunder's face, and the Lakers replaced Kapono, who scored two three-pointers in the second quarter.

As soon as Ji Feng came up, he passed a pass to Kapono, but the latter shot and shot. However, before the Thunder fans could cheer, the rebound was picked off by Bynum, passed again, and shot again!

After making the shot, Kapono clenched his fists. The third one tonight finally lived up to the expectations of his teammates.

Some people once thought that fixed-point shooters like Kapono were useless. They felt that they were quite accurate, but that was no longer the case once they came on the court. He was still a defensive colander on the court, which was simply outrageous. When Kapono left his old club, he was still ridiculed. The most overrated pitcher, he is said to be the king of the training ground.

In this season with the Lakers, Kapono proved himself. It's not that he's not good, it's that his thighs are not thick enough. Like around Ji Feng, he only needs to think about how to throw the ball into the frame.

This is not all Kapono's performance tonight. At the end of this quarter, he scored his second three-pointer of the quarter with Ji Feng's assist, and it was also a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

After this three-pointer, the Lakers had scored 90 points, and they entered the final quarter with a huge 26-point difference.

The Lakers hit 8 three-pointers in this quarter. After three quarters, the Lakers have made 19 three-pointers. While setting a new record for three-pointers in a single game in the Lakers' playoff history, they are also closer to the NBA's three-pointers in a single game. The ball record is only 2 goals away!

The holder of this number is the Raptors, who hit 21 three-pointers in a home game against the 76ers in 2005.

This number was quickly broken by the Lakers. In the fourth quarter, the Thunder felt that they could still save something, but Ji Feng's three consecutive three-pointers shattered the Thunder's dream. Ji Feng widened the point difference to 30 points in one fell swoop. , and the Lakers also broke the NBA record for three-pointers made in a single game!

22 goals!

"The Thunder didn't lose unfairly..." Barkley sighed.
