Chapter 635: Kobe went crazy and the suspense of the game returned to within reach!
After the timeout, defense is still the second priority. If the Lakers fail to score offensively, the game is likely to be over.
Not even a possibility, but a certainty!
Therefore, the Lakers chose to be prudent on the first ball, but also had to take risks.
In this round, you are playing your cards right.
"Sure enough, Paul lobbed the ball to Gasol, then cut outside and switched positions with Su Bei, bringing Westbrook's defense in front of Su Bei.
Gasol quickly hit the ball, Su Bei caught the ball and raised his head to feint. Westbrook was not caught flying in the air. Instead, he stretched his body and spread his hands, close to Su Bei, compressing Su Bei's shooting space...
After collecting the ball, Su Bei shouldered it and knocked it away. Then, the three-threat stepped forward, making a sudden move, retracting his feet, and then he rose up from the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Westbrook transformed into a turtle and quickly flew out to block the shot. Durant also pounced on him, as if he had predicted Su Bei's offensive move, and gave Su Bei a double fly.
At this time, Su Bei experienced the explosive physical talent of Wang Zhao's combination. The moment he shot in the air, he couldn't see the basket and could only shoot by feeling.
Bang-dang——!
"Missed!
Su Bei's shot was so obvious that even the Ting team, which was very physical, guessed how the Lakers wanted to play. No wonder they were stuck in a traffic jam...well, they were blocked.
Alas, the Lakers' offense was not over yet. Gasol rested for a while, hardened up, and actually grabbed a key offensive rebound. He immediately passed the ball to Kobe, and then, after being close to him, he quickly passed the ball to the shooter.
Su Bei rushed over as soon as he hit the ground.
After receiving the ball, Su Bei received the ball from the top of the three-point line, and he pulled out again. He raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
At this time, the two young men from the Thunder blocked shots in a double shot, and the only one left was Westbrook's solo shot, which was a beat too late.
After all, when he defended Su Bei for the first time, he was looking to see whose hands the basketball was in. When he found that the Lakers' offense was not over yet and went to look for Su Bei, Westbrook was so talented that he
All you can hear is the sound of gunshots.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
Su Bei withstood the pressure, and with the trust of his teammates, he made two consecutive three-point shots, and finally hit the damn basketball into the basket.
The point difference is only 11 points. If the Lakers' three-point score continues to be strong, there is still a chance to reverse the game..."
There is no three-point shot that cannot be scored. If not, then try the second time.
Once I know it's important, I can try it a few more times!
73 to 84!!
The score difference is 11 points.
On the court, Mike Brown clenched his fists but had a solemn look on his face.
Now we have just laid out the first step of the tactics, but we still have to look at the defense?
If the Thunder don't know how to defend, and the Lakers don't know how to defend either, then it's still a lonely shot.
The key to the decisive battle is to see the shooting of both sides.
"After the Lakers scored a goal, they quickly returned to defense when they couldn't defend the basket.
In fact, their defense has no choice but to act as a turtle in the penalty area.
Of course, the Thunder seemed to have predicted the Lakers' tactics and chose to replace Kevin Martin with Sefolosha. In the next game, defense is important, but the most important thing is offense.
The Thunder team is still very clear, it just depends on the effect..."
On the court, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Paul still led the defense. He chose to dribble the ball and continue to be a reckless man.
"Northern Jiangsu came to help defend, Gasol also proposed, and he still attacked from a flank.
boom--!
Westbrook passed the ball with his back, passed the damn basketball to Durant who followed up from the left, lifted the ball, and then changed direction, shaking Su Bei's folding defense, widening the distance, and then pulled out
When the ball comes up, he raises his hand and shoots a two-point jumper..."
Su Bei could only regard Durant's mid-range test shot as dead.
Swish——!
“Well done!!
Durant plays very hard, and when given the opportunity, he dares to take action and score.
At this time, the Lakers' defense felt difficult.
Westbrook plays a reasonable breakthrough and distribution, and Du Shao finds a death-like shooting touch. No one can defend the combination alone. However, they also cooperate with each other. What can you do to resist...
…”
73 to 86!!
The point difference became 13 points.
The Lakers' offense is not bad, but defensively they just can't stop the Thunder's offense. What else can they do?
Looking back, Durant began to pester Su Bei.
Kobe and Paul are best at two-point shooting. You can bet on three-pointers without treating them as alive.
Jamison can shoot three-pointers, but he doesn't have the ability to kill game three-pointers.
The answer is obvious.
The key to the success of the three-point tactic lies with Su Bei.
Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt, saw clearly the Thunder's defensive intentions at a glance, and followed their wishes, quickly passing the basketball to Kobe on the left.
"After receiving the ball, he feinted and dribbled the ball through. Kevin Martin couldn't stop him, and he was driven to the end. Kobe Bryant's basket in the penalty area was a one-handed dunk..."
Bang-dang——!
Kobe went straight to Huanglong and used a steady dunk to slam the basketball into the basket and score two points.
The point difference is still 11 points.
Off the court, Scott Brooks didn't panic.
In order not to give Kobe the opportunity to foul and play 2-1, even Ibaka swept cleanly and raised his hands in surrender to help defend.
If you use two points to chase a point, it is impossible to get it back.
The question is, the Thunder can also score!
Sure enough, looking back, Westbrook broke through with the ball. After attracting the defense, he immediately distributed the ball to Durant and also broke through with the ball.
"The tactics used are DDM, 'I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again...'
We must fight. The key point is that the Thunder don't want to hide. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will cause fouls. If there is no chance, someone else will fight.
The Lakers' defense is now in a desperate situation.
Beautiful, Durant was about to break through to the end, he shot... No, with a flick in the air, the basketball was distributed to the left basket. Ibaka was empty, and only the basket was left in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
He dunked with both hands, his whole body was hanging on the basket, and the two-point attack was successful, and the Thunder's offensive firepower continued.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Come on!
Hurt each other!
The Thunder were never afraid of going head-to-head.
The point difference returned to 13 points. Sure enough, the Lakers were so far behind that there was no future for them to score two points.
It just consumes your own attack time.
However, the Thunder did not give the Lakers a choice at all, and Durant continued to stick to Jiangsu Bei.
"Su Bei and Paul played outside screens, and the Thunder let Paul go, and they flanked Su Bei without the ball.
Gasol had no choice but to pass the basketball to Kobe on the left.
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left side, Kobe receives the ball and steps forward from the three threats, and Kevin Martin executes the snake release tactic..."
Such a defensive intention was regarded as a provocation by Kobe!
Kobe didn't like him, so he immediately put his feet back, lifted the ball, and slowly took aim. At this time, Kevin Martin realized that Kobe was angry and wanted to shoot a three-pointer, so he immediately jumped out to block the shot.
"pretty!
Kobe just feinted for a three-pointer, and when Kevin Martin pounced on him, he immediately went up to his body and made a three-point shot..."
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, Kevin Martin realized he had been fooled and immediately stepped back instead of pulling down Kobe's shot, giving Kobe the chance to complete a three-point shot.
The basketball draws a high arc in the air.
Swish——!
"Oh my god!!
Kobe's offense in this round was simply amazing. He was obviously aiming to draw a foul, but he didn't expect that his casual three-point shot actually went in.
God is on the Lakers' side!
Of course, Kevin Martin's experience is still far from enough. When the whistle blew for a foul, he still wanted to retreat instead of pressing his body on Kobe and destroying Kobe's shot.
You idiot, you gave Kobe a chance to play 3-1 and one..."
If it hits, the game will be even more suspenseful.
Kobe didn't waste the opportunity. He stood on the free throw line and made the extra free throw steadily despite the strong boos.
Swish——!
Kobe Bryant hit a magic 4-pointer and the score was 79 to 88. The difference between the two sides was reduced to 9 points.
At this time, there are still 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter.
Off the court, Scott Brooks chose to play it safe and replaced Durant with Sefolosha for the sake of the long term.
At the same time, Perkins and Ibaka were replaced, and Collison and 2009 No. 2 Thabeet were replaced.
From the beginning of the game to now, Durant has not rested during the game.
This is the biggest hidden danger for the Thunder. If the Lakers drag the game to the fourth quarter and Durant has physical problems, the risk of overturning will be great.
"Finally, finally the scoring leader Durant is taking a break.
Next, let’s see if the Lakers can seize this period of time and narrow the point difference as much as possible..."
The game restarted, and Westbrook did not waste time, choosing to stall for time.
At this time, the advantage lies with the Thunder, which controls the rhythm and consumes time. The most anxious team should be the Lakers.
With 5 seconds left in the attack time, Westbrook forced a breakthrough and failed to draw a foul, but attracted a double-team from the Lakers.
"Westbrook breaks through to the end and has no room to shoot out.
Ugh, what the hell?
Westbrook flicked the ball and made a beautiful pass.
Thabeet on the right side was empty, and only the basket was left in front of him...
Bang-dang——!
OMG!
To actually miss a lob shot from such a close range is simply a crime..."
Thabeet was also confused. He really didn't expect that Westbrook, who was usually so alone, would actually pass the ball to him.
Even the Lakers couldn't guess. He was stupid at the time and there wasn't much offensive time. He caught the ball in a hurry and shot in a hurry. It was reasonable for him to miss the shot.
All I can say is that it's not his fault.
Although he was ranked second in the 2009 rankings, the 2.21-meter big man averaged 2.4 points per game. If he was allowed to take action at critical moments, wouldn't this make things difficult for him?
With the assists of Kevin Martin and Thabeet, who played one offense and one defense, the Lakers got a chance to further narrow the point difference.
"Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and instead of passing the ball to Kobe, he lobbed the ball to Gasol in the high post, and then chose to cut inside.
Westbrook was chasing after him, but was blocked by Gasol. Then, Paul caught the ball, broke through quickly, hit the Thunder's backdoor, and hit the backboard under the basket for a two-point shot..."
Thabeet is still capable of defense, after all, his height of 2.21 meters is there, but in front of the 183 speed talent, these so-called talents have become the talents that can be beaten.
Paul played small and big, and quickly finished his work. Thabeet could only watch as Paul broke through to the end, and then shot inside.
81 to 88!!
The point difference became 7 points!!
Off the court, Scott Brooks was obviously panicked and made a gesture towards Westbrook on the court.
I want to slow down the pace of the game.
However, Westbrook gave a different answer.
He quickly rushed to the frontcourt, paused, and when Paul thought he would waste time, he suddenly accelerated and passed Paul in an instant and reached the three-point line.
Seeing Su Bei rushing to help defend, he immediately pulled up the ball, raised his hand and used a pull-up zombie two-point jumper to test the Lakers' defense, and also test himself.
Bang-dang——!
"What shape is this?
No, this is a crime!
Westbrook actually chose to blindly rush and hit blindly at such a critical moment when the Lakers were counterattacking. If he scored, it would be really cool and he showed his true qualities as a personal hero.
But Westbrook messed up. The opportunity came up, but his shot missed the basket..."
Off the court, Scott Brooks saw that Westbrook was about to lose control and quickly replaced Westbrook with substitute Eric Maynor.
Rather than attacking and scoring, he wants to delay the game. Anyway, the Lakers are now using all their main players.
During the fourth quarter of the game, how many drops are left in the fuel tank in your body?
The Thunder team dared to use the wrong-forward strategy because they had a lead and didn't have to fight as hard as the Lakers.
"There is only a 7-point gap, which is a palpable gap!
The Lakers didn't try for a three-pointer. Paul dribbled the ball across half court and chose to play it safe and pass the damn basketball to Kobe to attack.
Kobe came back from the timeout, but he was in full condition and scored 6 points in a row, including 4 points in one round. Next, let's see how Kobe attacks...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Triple threat, Kobe feinted, he rushed in, just like crossing the street in the early morning, passed Kevin Martin cleanly, went to the penalty area, and ignored Collison
The defense comes over and forces a breakthrough to the basket.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, Kobe's offense was not over yet. He knocked down Collison and easily completed the basket...
It was so strong that Kobe became an andone again and tore the Thunder's basket to pieces...
What the hell?
The whistle didn't seem to be for Collison's blocking defense, but for Kobe's charging foul..."
Kobe rushed to the penalty and argued...without any excuse.
The referee returned to the technical table and after watching the replay, he found that Collison had indeed stood still and his steps had not moved.
The original verdict was immediately upheld, and Kobe could only smile bitterly and hand over the basketball he was preparing for a free throw.
The 2-1 opportunity turned into an invalid offensive foul, giving the Thunder a chance to breathe.
They also plucked up the courage to do some work on offense. Kevin Martin used Collison's screen to get rid of Kobe, received Maynor's pass, and shot a three-point pull-up jumper.
…
If it hits, it will be very damaging to the Lakers.
After all, the Lakers just lost a 2+1 opportunity. If they turned around and lost 3 points, the result is not difficult to imagine.
Bang-dang——!
"Missed!
The Lakers dodged a bullet.
Kevin Martin's three-point shot missed by a hundred million points.
Su Bei got the basketball and immediately launched a counterattack, dribbling with his back to avoid Sefolosha's steal. Su Bei immediately passed the ball to Paul, then rushed to the frontcourt, and Kobe also quickly rushed back..."
Paul advanced to the frontcourt and chose to turn over Su Bei's card. The latter immediately broke through with the ball, attracted Kevin Martin's defense, and jumped up to score the ball.
"The basket was empty for Kobe. When he received the pass from Su Bei, he made a one-on-one dunk and blasted the damn basketball into the basket..."
After Kobe scored, he roared and beat his chest, venting his dissatisfaction with his offensive mistake and missing 2+1.
83 to 88!!
The score difference became 5 points.
Although looking back, Kevin Martin assisted Collison and hit a two-point jumper, but Kobe was already playing crazy. He switched offense and defense, broke through and layup with the technical ball, went to the penalty area for a layup, caused Thabeet's foul, and got the layup.
Free throw line free throw opportunity.
Two swish sounds, Kobe made a steady free throw, and the point difference was still 5 points.
In the last attack of the third quarter, Scott Brooks chose to bring Durant and Ibaka back to the court. As a result, Durant was flanked and Ibaka could only choose to shoot a three-pointer.
Bang-dang——!
As Ibaka missed a three-pointer, the game time ran out in the third quarter.
At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 83 to 88. During the counterattack, the Lakers, like Mike Brown's count, recovered 10 points and entered the final quarter with a 5-point disadvantage.
