Chapter 1982 Chapter 1986 Only Scoring Is the Most Ruthless

With two consecutive successful breakthroughs, Ji Feng helped the Lakers establish an early lead. The Thunder were caught off guard and were unable to effectively defend Ji Feng for a while, so they had to strengthen their offense.

However, Westbrook ran into trouble on the offensive end. He dribbled the ball back and forth at the top of the arc but couldn't find a chance, so he had to pass it to Safrosa. Artest started to go around after being beaten by Adu. The Lakers' defense Intentionally or unintentionally, he was tilted in the direction of monopolizing him, so that he had no chance to throw the ball twice. In the end, the ball had to be handled by Westbrook. There was no way. This was a key sentence. Except for Dewey, no one dared to take action at will.

Westbrook arrived with 8 seconds left and had no choice but to carry Ji Feng to charge forward. However, Ji Feng saw through it and made a pre-judged move. Westbrook bumped into him and Ji Feng lay back. The referee's whistle sounded. ring.

"Referee? Can I knock him down?" Westbrook's eyes were as wide as copper bells. From a long shot, he looked more like a brother of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He was really powerless to complain about the ball. He didn't exert much power at all.

But the referee's gesture was very firm. This is just hitting someone with the ball. There's nothing you can do about it. If you don't have the energy, you're hitting someone with the ball. Who made Ji Feng stand so stable? From the rules, there is nothing wrong with it. It's completely textbook-like. The foul-making template has been passed down by various artists in NBA history.

Ji Feng spread his hands innocently, indicating that he was the victim. Is there anything wrong with the ball? To put it bluntly, this was a targeted arrangement of the biggest problem of bullying Westbrook's dribbling.

Westbrook's dribbling is actually not a big problem. He has solid basic skills. Although his movements are not flashy, they are very practical and precise. It seems that he has worked hard. It is said that there are basically no guards in the NBA who have poor basic skills. This is the NBA. In a cruel competitive environment, if a defender does not have good basic skills, he will not be able to survive.

But Westbrook also has one of the biggest problems, and that is that he really likes to be straightforward when he breaks through.

If you study Westbrook's breakthrough carefully, you can clearly feel the difference between Westbrook and other well-known point guards. He is of medium height, heavy and has impact speed, but his shaking ability is too poor, so Westbrook's Breakthrough is hard but lacks aesthetics. He is more like a smaller version of James. His weight ensures a post-up advantage against defenders at the same position. Therefore, the essence of Westbrook's breakthrough is to rely on innate physical fitness, which is the so-called talent.

Such a breakthrough can be said to be great, but it can be said to be average. It is really average. It is said to be great because ordinary defenders do not have his talent, and it is very difficult to defend him. But to say it is average, it means that as long as your talent suppresses him, he can't. Get any advantage from you.

Ji Feng proved this with practical actions.

Ji Feng's performance continued. The Lakers took a free throw. Ji Feng stopped suddenly and moved in reverse to swing to catch the ball. His hips changed direction at the limit. After encountering the defense, he pulled back and dribbled behind his back to make Westbrook lose his center of gravity. A sudden shot, a clean pull-up three-pointer!

It is in sharp contrast to Westbrook's previous breakthrough.

In addition to speed, Ji Feng's breakthrough focuses most on rhythm and timing of changes of direction. No one in the entire league can match these two items.

Yes, Ji Feng has such confidence!

"GOD~!" ESPN's commentator could only sigh.

Continuous obstacles on both ends of the offense and defense made Westbrook's mentality a bit explosive. He originally had a bad chance with this ball, but in order to prove himself, Westbrook still chose to play hard. However, Ji Feng's position was still very good. Westbrook burst in and was beaten within two steps. Ji Feng forced a stop. At this time, Westbrook had the idea of ​​​​passing the ball. However, Kobe had been waiting for a long time and directly double-teamed. Westbrook could only force his shot backwards.

To be honest, this is the best choice in this situation. If you are a second slower, Kobe will be double-teamed, and Westbrook will not be able to get out at all.

However, even though he struggled hard, Ji Feng's big hat still made people feel the gap in talent. Maybe you are very good at the No. 1 position, but talent, Ji Feng never loses to anyone, this goal is the representative, Ji Feng Shengsheng used his jumping ability to block Westbrook's shot. ,

Kobe directly accepted the gift with a smile, dribbling behind the back to get rid of the defense and layup for another two points!

10-2, the Lakers started badly!

Ji Feng can be said to have dominated the first three and a half minutes alone, scoring 8 points on the offensive end, committing two fouls, and blocking a shot.

The Thunder called a timeout, and Brooks discovered that Ji Feng's swing in the first start might be a killer move prepared by the Lakers, just to target this point of Westbrook, who had previously performed well, so he changed his defensive strategy and asked Durant to swing on the defensive end. , let Westbrook play against the slower Artest.

This is undoubtedly a very smart defense change, using Durant's height and wingspan to limit Ji Feng, while giving Westbrook a chance to take advantage of his speed.

However, after returning from the timeout, Artest left, Ji Feng returned to the third position, and Black came on to control the ball.

Brooks: "MD, you play me!"

Who would have thought that the Lakers would be the first to change the lineup when they were leading 10-2. It has to be said that this wave is definitely due to the coach's experience gap. Master Zen had long guessed that the Thunder would make such a move, so he immediately stopped as soon as he saw the opportunity.

Although the regular lineup of the two did not have so many mismatches to play, it was still strong. Moreover, Master Zen asked Ji Feng to start a pick-and-roll!

This time the pick-and-roll was magical. It was no longer the familiar twin towers inside or Kobe who came up to pick-and-roll, but Black!

By the way, who can Blake's small body block? Ji Feng just wants to replace him!

Still targeting Westbrook, and even in order to prevent Westbrook from quickly switching defenses, Ji Feng immediately shot a three-pointer over Blake and Westbrook during the pick-and-roll.

Hey hey hey, you can't prevent it!

Three more points!

Ji Feng scored in double figures within 4 minutes of the first quarter, which is also the fastest personal record in this year's playoffs.

At this time, some knowledgeable people have discovered that tonight Ji Feng should start his long-lost personal offensive mode. In 6 games in the Western Conference Finals, this is the first time he has attacked so resolutely at the beginning.

The Thunder started a difficult road to chase points. Westbrook finally had a chance to break through, but he still failed to score the ball. The layup was too hard and was rejected by the basket. Fortunately, Ibaka alertly made a tip-in.

But there was no such luck in the next round. Ji Feng broke through and scored for the Lakers. Gasol scored off the board and returned to defense. Westbrook failed to break through again. Bynum took control of the ball. Ji Feng caught the ball at halftime. Yilong shook off Durant and dunked with one arm and scored another 2 points!

Ji Feng scored 20 points in the first quarter, becoming the first player to score 20 points in a single quarter in the playoffs this season. He also had 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

The Thunder relied on the 16 points scored by Durant and substitute Harden to support themselves. Westbrook only scored 4 points in this quarter and made 4 turnovers.

But even so, the Lakers led by 11 points in the first quarter, 33-22. The Lakers had a huge lead.
