Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 94 Western District Finals ([-]) Seeking Points and Pushing

"As soon as the game started, the two sides began to fight each other. Now the two sides are tied. The Oklahoma City Thunder tied the score with Kevin Durant and the three-point long shot. The Los Angeles Lakers have so far I haven't missed a shot yet." The host of the broadcast room of the domestic ccav sports channel said.

"The inside of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers is still a little worse. It is still a bit difficult for the Thunder to break through to the inside and score. The defensive strength of the Lakers is not bad. Although Kobe Bryant has seldom directly participated in the defense against the opponent's top scorer in order to ensure the vitality of the offense this season, but his defensive skills cannot be ignored." The guest commentator analyzed.

Next, the Oklahoma City Thunder used a round-the-front defense against Andrew Bynum, while Thabo Sefolosha defended Kobe Bryant on the perimeter.When Kobe Bryant breaks through and breaks inward, he will face the opponent's double-team defense, which increases the difficulty of scoring and intensifies the consumption of physical strength.In order to preserve his strength, Kobe Bryant passed the basketball here.

Lin Fengzhe received the pass and moved from the right to the center.Russell Westbrook followed Lin Fengzhe closely.Lin Fengzhe signaled Pau Gasol to come up to screen, then accelerated to go around behind Pau Gasol, successfully got rid of Russell Westbrook, and went straight to the Oklahoma City Thunder's penalty area. Ji Ibaka came up to help the defense.

Lin Fengzhe rushed with the ball, stopped suddenly in front of Serge Ibaka, turned around and ran past Serge Ibaka.Facing Kendrick Perkins who was sitting under the basket, Lin Fengzhe took off and made a fake layup, then received the ball in the air and released the basketball from Kendrick Perkins' armpit.

Andrew Bynum made a layup after receiving a wonderful pass from Lin Fengzhe and scored two more points.

Russell Westbrook missed a jumper with an emergency stop. After the rebound was taken by Serge Ibaka, he jumped again and dunked into the basket. At the same time, he caused a defensive foul by Andrew Bynum.

Serge Ibaka gets to the free throw line.Serge Ibaka is shooting 66.1 percent from the free-throw line this season, so-so, at least halfway through.However, the ball missed a free throw, and the auditorium behind the rebound still caused some interference to him.

This time the rebound was picked up by Pau Gasol and passed the basketball to Lin Fengzhe.Lin Fengzhe took the ball to the frontcourt and directly broke through.Although Russell Westbrook's physical fitness is very good and his speed is very fast, he is still slower than Lin Fengzhe.Although Russell Westbrook had tried his best to chase Lin Fengzhe back, he was still thrown away into a position.

"Lin Fengzhe's speed is really fast, much faster than Dwyane Wade who was not injured at the time." Tracy McGrady, who was on the sideline bench, looked at Lin Fengzhe's breakthrough on the court and felt emotional , "It is estimated that Lin Fengzhe should be the top three candidates in terms of speed in the league."

After Lin Fengzhe made a successful breakthrough, before the opposing player came up to help defend, he threw the basketball out while running. The basketball flew past the defender in his mouth and came to the right side of the basket. Then a figure came out and jumped high. He grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands and pressed it into the hoop.

In an instant, the Staples Center remembered the cheers that shook the sky, but it was Kobe Bryant who slipped from the baseline to the basket to catch Lin Fengzhe's pass and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.Kobe Bryant's dunks and alley-oops this season are far more than last season, making Kobe Bryant's many die-hard fans hooked.

"This guy's passing vision is really broad!" Scott Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, looked at Lin Fengzhe on the field and secretly sighed with emotion about the luck of the Lakers. A super-scorer like Bryant, who runs the offense like Jason Kidd, who is traditionally open, can always deliver the ball."

On the other hand, the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike Brown, was very happy. In any case, he was lucky. No matter where he went, he always had excellent players under his hands.

In fact, those who are interested have discovered that in this season, when Lin Fengzhe and Kobe Bryant are on the court at the same time, the person who dominates the players is no longer like Kobe Bryant.Who should pass the basketball to and who should complete the offense should be decided by Lin Fengzhe. In Lin Fengzhe's words, "I am a point guard, and of course I control the ball. No matter who you are, as long as your position is not good , The chance is not good, I will not pass the ball to you when you are reaching for the ball. If I am in a bad mood, you will never get any direct pass from me in the whole game." It has greatly improved the offensive efficiency of the Lakers.

Both sides had high shooting percentages in the first quarter. When the first quarter reached 45 minutes and [-] seconds, the Oklahoma City Thunder called a timeout and began to send substitute players on the field. Quane Cook, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Nize Mohammed, Nick Collison.The Lakers also took the opportunity to replace everyone except Lin Fengzhe, and replaced Li Yifeng, Josh McRoberts, Matt Barnes, and Tracy McGrady.

The game started again, and Kevin Durant received a throw-in from his teammate in the frontcourt.The man guarding Kevin Durant at this point is Matt Barnes.Kevin Durant dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and Matt Barnes defended less than one step inside the three-point line. Some space was deliberately left to facilitate the defense of Kevin Durant breakthrough.

But what Matt Barnes didn't expect was that Kevin Durant actually made a shot directly outside the three-point line.And the speed of the shot is quite fast, there is no time for him to react.The key is that Matt Barnes' defense is too big.For a scorer like Kevin Durant, as long as the feel is similar, the difference between giving up such a large space and allowing the opponent to shoot directly is not very big, not to mention the feel of Kevin Durant tonight Very hot.

Matt Barnes could only helplessly watch the basketball plunge into the basket after a long-distance flight.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, the score was 28-27, with the Los Angeles Lakers temporarily leading the Oklahoma City Thunder by one point at home.From the high score in the first quarter, it is not difficult to see that both sides of the game have high shooting percentages.And what makes the fans feel enjoyable is that while attacking, there is no lack of wonderful defensive cooperation. Many balls from both sides are scored through difficult shots under the strict defense of the opponent. It also shows that both sides have excellent shooting touch. .

"Now at the end of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides is only one point. The game process is quite intense. The strength of the Oklahoma City Thunder is really strong enough to compete with the Los Angeles Lakers. After Kobe Bryant After Te gave up control of the ball, the efficiency of the Los Angeles Lakers improved a lot. After other players were mobilized, the defensive pressure on Kobe Bryant was correspondingly less. Lin Fengzhe still gave the Lakers It brought something different." The guest commentator of ccav commented on the first quarter of the game, "But in the first quarter, we can see Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Wayne Sbrook's performance was not very good, the offensive end was restricted by the Lakers' matchup players, and the lethality of the breakthrough weakened a lot..."

The 2-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides entered the court again, this time with all the bench lineups on both sides. The Lakers' point guard became Derek Fisher and Tracy McGrady returned. At the shooting guard position.For the Thunder, Russell Westbrook and James Harden came off the bench.

As soon as he played, Nick Collison received a pass from teammate James Harden and made a successful shot, leading the score by one point.

Derek Fisher took the ball to the front court and handed the basketball to Tracy McGrady, who received the pass and directly broke through James Harden's defense, and then gave the ball to the Ma Matt Barnes, Matt Barnes, who received the pass, was interfered with for a layup, the basketball came out of the basket, the offensive rebound was caught by Li Yifeng, and the basketball was thrown to the bottom corner before it hit the ground. Tracy McGrady.

Tracy McGrady received the pass, and there was no one defending the player within one meter in front of him. He made a slight adjustment, and hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, leading the score again and temporarily leading the Thunder by two points.

The Los Angeles Lakers' bench lineup is obviously more gorgeous than the Oklahoma City Thunder's. The Lakers' bench lineup is enough as a starter.In the next offense and defense, the Lakers showed a clear advantage. At 15 minutes and [-] seconds into the second quarter, the Lakers had already led the Clippers by nine points.

Facing the widening score, the Thunder called a short timeout and replaced their main players in advance. Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Durant, and Szabo Sefolosha came on the field and replaced Nike. Zee Mohammed, Russell Westbrook and Daquan Cook.The Lakers did not perform personnel rotation.

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s substitution still had some effect. Kevin Durant, who played again, first scored two points with an emergency stop jumper after a breakthrough, and then hit a long three-pointer from the left of the top arc. Bring the score back to five points.Then as a point guard, James Harden hit a shot from Derek Fisher's defensive line, and at the same time caused Derek Fisher's defensive foul, and made a free throw, reducing the point difference to four points in one fell swoop.
