"Of course, he is the Black Mamba. It is normal to shoot such a ball." Another Lakers commentator, Stu Lantz, said.
For the Thunder, Westbrook said with some reproach: "James, what did you do? Why was the shot blocked by that Asian center? Just be careful, okay?"
"I know." James Harden replied with a face after hearing this.
Since the beginning of this season, Harden feels that he is no weaker than Durant and Westbrook, so he has become increasingly reluctant to listen to the criticism of the two team bosses.
If the Thunder don't give me a big contract in the future, then I will become a free agent and leave Oklahoma!
A rising tide lifts all boats, people's hearts swell, and as his strength becomes stronger, Harden starts to want to rise to the top.
He is no longer satisfied with being the "Manu Ginobili" of the Thunder. He wants to become a starter, a core player, and even the team leader. But these clues were not noticed by everyone in the Thunder team.
.
When the Thunder attacked, Westbrook broke into the paint, attracted two defenders, and then passed the ball sideways and behind the back. The basketball was smoothly passed to James Harden, who was cutting through the basket.
James Harden made a backhand layup. The rhythm of the ball was very beautiful.
In addition, Harden is originally a left-handed player, which makes the test for defenders even more demanding.
Okay, as long as I score this goal, my number of assists will be...
Pa~
James Harden's layup was blocked, and the person who blocked his shot was Lakers No. 29.
Covered again???
Harden was a bit confused now, because he actually felt very good about this ball. He thought it was a sure goal, but unexpectedly he was blocked by the opponent's inside line.
"Beautiful block, from our Chinese friends, perm~" Bill MacDonald commented on the spot.
The Lakers attacked, and Bynum held the ball in the low post to attack, but he missed the ball. What was even more unfortunate was that he also received a blood block from Thunder center Serge Ibaka, and the basketball flew directly out of the baseline.
.
Seeing Tang Qian's success, Serge Ibaka did not show any weakness and immediately contributed a block, raising his number of blocks to 6.
The baseline pass came out. Due to insufficient attack time, Ramon Sessions could only rush to shoot a three-pointer. Of course, this shot crashed out of the basket.
The Thunder protected the defensive rebound.
The ball was passed to Kendrick Perkins. Perkins took a shot from the basket and was blocked again by Lakers No. 29.
Pa~
The Lakers were holding the ball on a fast break, and Kobe was attacking Westbrook in isolation. He used the change of rhythm to get past his opponent, and then with one step, he was about to blast the Thunder's basket. However, the moment he took off, Kobe felt a little nervous.
Wonderful, because the force fed back to him by the calf muscles is very soft, and with this kind of take-off height, it is impossible to complete a powerful dunk.
There was no other way, so Kobe could only temporarily change his dunk action into a layup action.
But in this way, when the master lays up, the basketball is exposed without any cover.
Serge Ibaka did not miss this opportunity and blocked Kobe's layup with one slap.
The Thunder launched a fast break, with the three players running like thunder, and finally Westbrook completed the solo dunk.
Boom~
71-84, the Thunder scored again.
There was nothing Tang Qian could do about this kind of ball. After all, he was not Superman and could not directly change from the frontcourt to the backcourt.
Seeing this, Mike Brown called a timeout.
"Did you see that? With Serge Ibaka on the Thunder team, no one can score easily!!!" After blocking Kobe Bryant, Serge Ibaka couldn't help but get excited.
"Di shouted towards Tang Qian.
After saying this, before Tang Qian said anything, Kobe Bryant became angry first. He glanced at Serge Ibaka, and the look in his eyes gradually became fierce. Tang Qian
Passing by Kobe, he happened to see this scene, and the cold look in his eyes made him feel a tinge in his heart.
This guy seems to have provoked the Black Mamba?
It's over, let me hold a moment of silence for you first, Ibaka.
Tang Qian silently sympathized with the other party.
ESPN Live Room.
"Serge Ibaka just blocked Kobe Bryant, how about it? This is something the Lakers can't do on the 29th, right?" Brad Doherty said.
"Yes, you can't do it because he and Kobe are on the same team." Isiah Thomas answered tactfully.
"You know that's not what I meant!" Brad Doherty said.
"Okay, okay, but you may not have seen it clearly." Isiah Thomas pointed to the tablet in his hand and said: "Now there are 8 blocks, while Ibaka only has 7."
"What's the point of this? Can the value of the two block data be the same?" Brad Doherty argued with him: "And I believe Ibaka will definitely be able to catch up with his opponent later!"
Facing the argument between Isiah Thomas and Brad Doherty, Rachel Knicks had no intention of stopping it. Because this kind of scene and this kind of topic are all needed in the national live broadcast.
element. So as long as the two of them don't fight, she will just stand by and watch, and won't step in to stop it at all.
The Lakers attacked, and this time Kobe was very active in asking for the ball. When Ramon Sessions saw this, of course he did not hesitate to fulfill the wish of the team leader. With a push of his hands, the basketball flew in the direction of Kobe.
In the past, Kobe turned around and received the pass under James Harden's defense.
Kobe VS Harden.
The current No. 1 shooting guard VS the future No. 1 shooting guard.
Tang Qian remembers that in later generations, there were always people who said that Harden was great at defending Kobe. Then for example, in the 11-12 playoffs, Harden successfully locked up Kobe. Seeing this, Tang Qian always wanted to say, come on, Harden’s career and Kobe’s
We have played against each other for 30 games. Whether it is offensive or defensive data, the latter is not as good as the latter. Moreover, from scoring to steals, we were completely defeated, with only 0.2 more blocks. Just for a series, really
ok?
Besides, who doesn’t know how to make screenshots? I want to make screenshots of Kobe guarding Harden, so more!
The most important thing is, in that series, was it really Harden who locked up Kobe? Why would you let Durant and Sefolosha wait?
Let’s look at Kobe’s series scores: 20, 20, 36, 38, 42. The average score in the series is 31.2 points, which exceeds the 30+ points in the series. It is also called a lock-in? You can’t ask Kobe to score every ball.
Put them all in, right? It is true that Kobe's shot selection and paranoia in that series were very problematic, but for a player who averaged more than 30 points in the series, the word "locked" should not be used. And forget about it.
For most of the series, Kobe defeated Harden in terms of personal performance. Both he and Harden mainly played the 2 position, so there was no so-called misalignment like James.
Comparing the data at the same position is the most reliable, otherwise there will be no matchup on the field, so there is no way to say who is better than the other.
Kobe saw a hint of ambition in the eyes of Thunder No. 13.
Want to gain media attention by defeating me? Then you are too naive!
Kobe made a drastic change of direction on the spot, then collected and sent his steps, and got rid of James Harden's defense in the blink of an eye. This guy... What a great breakthrough rhythm, every move, and timing.
The step was just right, and the whole set of movements was frighteningly smooth! Kobe's breakthrough surprised Harden. When he turned around and wanted to chase the opponent, the purple and gold No. 24 had already slipped into the Thunder's interior.
What is Kobe doing???
Where are Perkins and Ibaka standing inside the Thunder? If you force a breakthrough for a layup, it's easy for the tragedy to happen again!!!
Tang Qian suddenly thought when he saw Kobe riding into the paint alone.
But immediately, Kobe made Tang Qian's mouth turn into an O shape.
A head-on dunk on Serge Ibaka not only scored the goal, but also got a chance for an extra penalty.
"How's it going? Did I score?" After Kobe landed, he glanced at Ibaka and said in a cold voice.
Ibaka wanted to speak back, but after seeing the cold eyes of the other party, he suddenly choked his voice for some reason.
Brush~
Extra penalty goal.
74-84, the Lakers once again caught up with only 10 points.
Tang Qian was slightly shocked by the team's performance on the 24th, because before that, he clearly felt that the 24th should have been very tired. How could he still have the energy to perform such a powerful performance?
This black mamba is really amazing.
"Hey, do you think you can guard me? Don't waste your efforts!" Russell Westbrook said while dribbling.
Sessions looked a little ugly, but facing Westbrook, he had no ability to counterattack. Westbrook has completely grown up this season, All-Star Team + Best Team 2nd Team +23+5+4,
Although this is not yet at the level of a superstar, he has reached the peak of an All-Star. Moreover, Westbrook's physical fitness is so explosive that eating Ramon Sessions alive is almost as easy as drinking water and eating.
Westbrook was making luck, and suddenly said: "In this posture of yours, do you focus on sudden attacks and not on shots?"
Sessions did not answer, but his facial expression already told Westbrook the answer.
"Well, I want to see if your insider is qualified to do this!" After saying that, Westbrook accelerated strongly, like a supercar, and instantly reached the full speed. This kind of abnormal
The explosive power directly left Ramon Sessions behind.
In terms of the brutality of playing, Westbrook is ranked number one among the new generation of players. If the scope is narrowed down to the No. 1 position, then he is definitely the No. 1. What does it mean to escape from the sky and escape from the ground, and what does it mean to pull onions on dry land?
Russell Westbrook tells you all!
The nunnery should have stood up to block the ball, but tonight, the nunnery was not in the mood, had no physical strength, and was not in good shape, so he actually adopted a give-up policy for Westbrook's ball and directly gave the green light to his opponent.
"Bynum, what are you doing?" Kobe shouted angrily when he saw this situation.
However, the nunnery master's defensive attitude has not changed at all.
Just when the nunnery master was enjoying himself, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind him. He staggered and almost knocked him out of the three-second zone.
"Referee, foul, they hit someone for a foul..." Before he finished shouting, the owner's voice was interrupted, because after taking a closer look, he found that the person who knocked him away was not a Thunder player, but Lakers No. 29.
"Boy Dongfang, you are so brave! Since you are so anxious to seek death, then I will give you a good ride!" Westbrook saw No. 29 on the opposite side rushing out of defense, his expression was still the same, still striding forward, facing the Lakers'
The basket was dunked hard.
What will be the result?
Was he miserably detained and became the background of Westbrook's posters, or...
Under normal circumstances, Tang Qian would not be sure to block this dunk, but now...
But he was confident and looked at Westbrook's figure without any fear.
This kid is quite courageous, but playing basketball requires more than just courage!
Be my poster background, Asian!
Snapped!!!
The next second later, the entire Staples Center was boiling.
"Oh~Blk~Beautiful Blk~The Chinese boy blocked Westbrook's dunk from the front~" Bill McDonald said excitedly while sitting on the commentary table.
"This No. 29 has the potential to be a tough guy inside. I like inside players with such potential." Another commentator, Stu Lantz, also said.
"Russell, get back on defense immediately, don't let the Lakers push the fast break!" Kevin Durant of the Thunder shouted.
Hearing this, Westbrook quickly recovered, then quickened his pace and rushed back to the Thunder's half.
"Hey, China Hot, why are you pushing me???" The nunnery owner's mind is different from that of normal people. Not only was she unhappy that Tang Qian had blocked Westbrook, but she also blamed him for pushing her.
"Because you're blocking me." After Tang Qian said this, he ran towards the frontcourt.
This damn Chinese perm, how dare you treat me like this!
The more the nunnery owner looked at Tang Qian, the more displeased he became.
Tang Qian mentioned going to the line to help Kobe as a wall. Kobe easily passed James Harden and then entered the Thunder's inside line again.
"Don't think about it again..." Before Ibaka could finish his words, Kobe jumped up and headed towards the Thunder's basket.
"Bryant, you are too arrogant! Do you think I am Kwame Brown?" Ibaka was also annoyed by Kobe's actions. He is the first in the NBA in blocked shots this season, even if Kobe is a historical level
Super giant, you can’t ignore yourself like this!
So Ibaka took off and tried to block Kobe's shot.
But when the Black Mamba wants to attack, how can he be blocked so easily? With a baseline pull, a backhand shot into the basket, and the basketball hits the net accurately.
76-84, the score difference finally narrowed to single digits.
"Damn it, I didn't defend myself!" Ibaka said angrily as he was hit by two balls from Kobe.
Not only Ibaka, but also Westbrook's heart was boiling with anger.
I was actually blocked by an unknown person? How can I tolerate this kind of thing? In the next round, I have to find a way back!
Seemingly sensing Westbrook's thoughts, Durant took the initiative to set up a screen for the former, allowing Westbrook to smoothly penetrate the Lakers' inside line.
Tang Qian could tell that Westbrook was aiming for this ball.
That kind of acceleration and physical explosiveness is really a monster in the No. 1 position, and his athletic ability is off the charts!
Without the blessing of the Bronze Block Card, he would not even have a 10% chance of preventing this ball, let alone completing the block. It would be almost a fantasy and a daydream. Westbrook's brutal style of play is well-known far and wide.
Yes, everyone in the NBA knows it.
But at this moment, the opponent is destined to suffer.
Bang~
Amid the cheers of the Lakers' home court, Westbrook's dunk was ruthlessly blocked again and was slapped down by Lakers No. 29.
Tang Qian blocked a shot for the tenth time in this game and completed it here.
"Ramon, pass rush!!!" When Kobe saw Westbrook being blocked, he immediately changed his role from defender to attacker. He threw away James Harden and sprinted towards the Thunder half court.
Originally, Kobe was very tired, but Ibaka took the initiative to provoke this "venomous snake". The result was that the fighting consciousness in Kobe's body was once again aroused. The spirit transcended the body and wanted to cripple his opponent. The Black Mamba was
Be willing to give up and give up.
Kevin Durant was the only one on the Thunder team who retreated in time, so there is nothing to say. It is only natural that he should guard Kobe. Kevin Durant collided head-on with Kobe Bryant. At this moment, it was a scene.
With the expectations in the hearts of countless reporters, the close contest between the two leading scorers in the league killed countless films in an instant.
The spotlights in the audience flashed non-stop.
He is already very tired, so he probably won't be able to take complicated actions to score points. You just need to stick close to him and wait for the opportunity to move.
Kevin Durant thought to himself.
Kobe pressed Durant and rushed to the Thunder's three-point line. Then he collected the ball, took a big step forward, and shot. Durant saw the opportunity and immediately took off, preparing to use his height and length.
Arm, blocked Kobe's shot. But soon, Durant discovered the problem. Kobe actually changed his shot to a step, stepped out again, and made a simple layup, easily putting the basketball into the Thunder's basket.
inside the basket.
This... was that a fake move he just made?
Durant stood there, a little dazed.
"Kobe Bryant, in the middle of a three-step layup, made a fake move to prepare for a shot. This smoothness and suddenness made it difficult for people to guard against. To be honest, Stu, I thought Kobe was just shooting.
." Bill MacDonald said.
"Me too." Another Lakers commentator, Stu Lantz, said: "The layup just now was really surprising. If I were to defend it, it would probably be worse than Durant."
78-84, the Lakers saw hope of tying the score.
At this moment, Thunder coach Scott Brooks called a timeout.
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Isiah Thomas was "showing off" proudly: "Haha~Brad, I have 10 blocks here, what about you?"
"Why are you anxious? I believe Ibaka will catch up soon!" Brad Doherty stiffened his neck and countered.
"okokok~ I just hope that our Congolese boy will not be tortured too badly by Kobe~ The Black Mamba is not easy to calm down when he gets angry." Isiah Thomas said with a proud smile.
"Gentlemen, can I interject a word?" said Rachel Nix, who had been silent for a long time.
"Please, ma'am." Isiah Thomas stretched out his hand.
"Perhaps you haven't noticed that China is only two blocks away from tying the NBA half-time block record." Rachel Nix looked down at the tablet in her hand and said.
PS: What is the NBA half-time block record? How many book friends know? You can take a guess!
