Seeing that the Lakers had narrowed the score, the Thunder head coach immediately replaced Westbrook and "Old Fish" Fisher. However, the two insiders were Nazr Muhammad and Nick Ko.
Leeson, it seems that Scott Brooks is very confident in the outside combination of Durant + Westbrook + Harden.
It’s this terrible perimeter lineup again. The current perimeter players of the Lakers are Kobe + Barnes + Sessions. Look at the Lakers and the Thunder. Except for one Kobe, the Lakers’ perimeter and opponents are basically different.
It's not on the same dimension.
The difference is too far.
After seeing Westbrook play, James Harden took a breath in his heart, because he knew that he could "escape" from Kobe's clutches. This season, although Kobe's defensive ability has declined significantly,
After all, they are still among the second defense in the league. If they stare at one person, they can even burst into the first defense in a short period of time. Harden and Kobe played against each other for a while, and they were deeply impressed. If he hadn't felt good just now, maybe
Just like his teammate Russell Westbrook, his shooting percentage has dropped to nothing. The No. 24 in front of him is really terrible at defending the ball holder. It is hard to imagine what will happen against him at his peak.
Psychological shadow.
Now that someone is coming to attract firepower, can Harden be unhappy? After all, the touch cannot be maintained forever. Once it declines, the statistics will instantly look ugly. He also wants to get a "big contract" next year, so
A beautiful data sheet is essential.
The outside lineup of the Lakers VS Thunder does not require any tactics at all. The latter only needs to avoid Kobe Bryant, a strong point in defense, to "attack" and hit every target accurately. Durant receives the ball from outside the three-point line and directly raises the ball.
He shot Barnes with his face. Although Barnes tried his best to defend, in fact, it was of no use. With a "swipe" sound, the basketball was shot cleanly into the Lakers' basket.
66-74, it’s eight points again.
The Lakers were still Kobe Bryant, holding the ball in singles, but he missed the ball because Harden and Westbrook double-teamed him a little bit when Kobe turned around and shot. Lakers No. 24, the basketball came out of the iron. This kind of thing
, it is difficult for ordinary teams to do it, because if the tactical literacy is not up to standard, it is easy to be left open, easy.ball. But the Thunder team "found another way", and their tactical literacy is naturally not up to the level of the Spurs.
, but they found a "shortcut", what "shortcut"? That is, lack of tactical literacy, make up for it with physical fitness! With the team's "birds and beasts" physical talent, the Thunder's rotation speed is unparalleled in the league.
Even if the position is lost, it can be quickly replaced without causing any trouble.
This season's Thunder team has really taught basketball fans all over the world what it means to be talented in basketball.
Kevin Durant personally grabbed the defensive rebound, and then while Kobe and the Lakers were still retreating, he made a one-armed long pass, and the basketball flew straight into the Lakers' half. Kobe looked back and chased with all his strength.
But he had no choice but to lose his athletic ability and the distance was too far. He could only watch Westbrook pass a trick to Harden. The latter made an alley-oop, spread his belly, and hit a reverse dunk, bombing the Lakers' rim. 66-
76, almost in the blink of an eye, the score difference with the Thunder reached double digits again.
The talent of Oklahomans is evident at a glance.
Suddenly, the entire Lakers team was under pressure.
Looking at the time, there is not much left in the third quarter, but in the hands of the Thunder, there is still a lot to be done.
After the playoffs competition reaches this point, the players' bodies are a little tired, especially Gasol and Kobe. They have to attack and defend at the same time, and the physical exertion is astonishing. As veterans after the age of 30, such a
It is really unwise to compete with young people for physical strength. But the problem is, who can stand up and help the Lakers now? Ci Shiping? Sessions? Bynum? Murphy? Blake?... None of them.
, none of them can replace these two people's role in the Lakers.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. They claim to have three All-Star players, and one of them is from the super giant Lakers, but suddenly no one is available in the playoffs? This is simply a huge funny joke!
But at the same time, it is an indisputable fact.
The Lakers are a bit exhausted.
Not to mention the chemistry within the team, the depth of the bench and the aging of the lineup are unavoidable facts.
Except for Bynum, the main players of the Lakers are too old. Kobe is 34 months old, Gasol is 1 and a half months old, Ci Shiping is 32 years old. I thought I got a man in his 20s in exchange.
The age-old Sessions can inject fresh blood and vitality into the lineup, but in fact? He is a "rookie" in the playoffs. Once he enters the playoffs, he will be completely different from the regular season. He cannot be counted on at all.
With such a lineup full of problems, they still want to defeat this year's "Flying Thunder"? It's really a bit fanciful.
Everyone knows what 0-3 in the playoffs means. In an instant, the actions of the Lakers players became sluggish.
Kobe turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper, "Duang~", but the basketball hit the basket. The offensive and defensive ends continued to maintain super-intense output. The Black Mamba was somewhat unable to control it. Tang Qian and Gasol struggled to grab the offensive rebound.
, but couldn't touch the ball at all. The Thunder's two inside players blocked their opponents, and then let the outside players rush for the rebound. This move was particularly cruel, and it even made it clear that it meant, I bully you.
The Lakers' perimeter and rebounding ability are weak, and they are far from being a match for our Thunder's perimeter!
The Lakers' perimeter players were annoyed, but were powerless to change that fact.
Maybe you can't imagine that in the 2011-2012 playoffs, the Lakers who grabbed the most rebounds from outside was none other than Kobe, averaging about 4.8 times per game. And what about the rest? Ci Shiping 3.5 times, Bane
Steve 3.3 times, Blake 2.8 times, and Sessions 3.0 times. Among this group of outside players, Kobe is the oldest, but he averages the most rebounds per game. What does this mean? What does it say about the Lakers?
The team's outside rebounding ability is extremely weak! For comparison, look at the Thunder's outside rebounding. Kevin Durant averages 7+ rebounds per game, James Harden averages 5+ rebounds per game, and Russell
Er Westbrook averages 5+ rebounds per game, and Thabo Sefolosha averages 2+ rebounds per game. This means that, except for Thabo Sefolosha, the other Thunder perimeter players are better than the Lakers.
The team's outside players must have strong rebounding ability. Especially Kevin Durant, who averaged 7+ rebounds per game in the playoffs. This has completely entered the level of inside players, right?
Therefore, when comparing the outside rebounding ability, the Lakers are vulnerable to the Thunder.
This is also one of the Thunder's tactical secrets.
Kevin Durant stretched out his long arms, grabbed the rebound, and then passed it to Westbrook in front. Westbrook quickly advanced. Kobe caught up this time, relying on his height and weight to forcefully squeeze the opponent's impact speed.
and dribbling space. But don’t forget, the Thunder have more than one Westbrook. They have locked up the young Westbrook, Durant, and Harden. Westbrook passes the ball, and Harden catches the ball and lays up.
, causing a foul by Ramon Sessions and two free throws.
Harden made two free throws, 66-78, and the score difference widened to 12 points.
The Lakers attacked again, and Kobe Bryant scored on Gasol. Gasol took a shot from the inside, but still flew out of the basket. The Spaniard's foot injury seemed to be on the verge of relapse. Westbrook of the Thunder missed a jumper, but
After being grabbed an offensive rebound by Durant, Tang Qian saw this and threw away Nick Collison to block the opponent's shot. However, Durant's ball was just a feint. After he successfully deceived Tang Qian, he hit the ground with his right hand.
, the basketball in his hand was passed to Nick Collison who was left empty. Nick Collison easily shot from the basket and the basketball hit the board into the basket.
66-80, with Kobe missing a long-range three-pointer, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 14-point score difference.
As soon as the Lakers players came off the court, they heard a strange "greeting": "Oh~ isn't this the strongest five-man group of our team? What's wrong? Why do you look like a lost dog? Aren't you ahead?
14 points? Oh, it turns out that the opponent is 14 points ahead. Oh, I saw it wrong, I saw it wrong, don’t be angry."
"Bynum! What are you doing? They are your teammates, are they booing like you?" Mike Brown was annoyed. When he heard the nunnery's booing, he immediately opened his mouth and yelled. "What can't you do if you don't play well?"
What are you talking about? Is there any shame after playing poorly? Coach Mike Brown!" Andrew Bynum immediately retorted, which made Mike Brown's face turn green immediately.
"Shut up, Bynum!" Kobe shouted at the nunnery owner, but tonight's nunnery owner was already a bit "psychopathic". He had no scruples and shouted back: "Shut up? Brian
Special, are you playing very well? As the top star of the Lakers, you haven’t scored more than 30 points in this series. What qualifications do you have to criticize me? If it weren’t for your problems last year, how could we have scored three points?
Failed continuously? Bryant, listen to my advice and retire when you get old, don’t occupy the latrine and do nothing!”
"What did you say? Stupid! If you have the ability, you can tell me again and try again???" Kobe was furious when he heard this. The unfavorable situation was enough to make him irritated, but now the nunnery owner came out to add to the trouble, and suddenly the Lakers were 24
The number is going to go crazy and give Andrew Bynum a hard lesson.
"Come on, Bryant, do you think I'm afraid of you? With your small body and old bones, I'll punch you down!!!" The nunnery owner seemed to have lost control of her emotions tonight, and she became more and more arrogant.
He started to speak without hesitation. Seeing that an all-out show was about to take place on the bench of the Lakers, Tang Qian stood up and said, "Apologise."
"Apologise? You want me to apologize?" The nunnery master was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said angrily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you order me?"
Tang Qian looked at the nunnery owner calmly and said slowly: "If you don't apologize, just get down. It's your choice."
Tang Qian said these words very lightly, but no one dares to underestimate the weight of his words. Just kidding, the Chinese in front of him is a fierce man who single-handedly defeated half of the Nuggets team. His real-time combat power is undoubtedly terrifying. This is
Even if he was Ci Shiping, it was incredible when he thought about it later. So in terms of "fighting", Tang Qian rose to the top of the Lakers.
The Lakers players didn't know that Tang Qian had "different dimensions" and "ability cards", so they all subconsciously believed that the team's No. 29 had such a strong grip and fist.
A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Now Tang Qian has a fierce reputation in this line of work.
"you……"
"What's wrong with me? Do you want to fight? I don't mind embarrassing you in public." Tang Qian said, "Do you want to try?"
When the nunnery owner saw the man in front of him with a calm expression, he secretly warned himself not to be fooled or take the bait, because this Chinese guy was not a normal person at all. If he fought with him one on one, the winning rate would not even be 1%. This kind of stupid thing
, you must not do it yourself!
"Chinaman...Chinaman, this is the Staples Center, a public place. Don't you know what it means to pay attention to your image? Or are you Chinese people so rude?" After the nunnery master finished speaking, Tang Qian laughed.
He replied: "Weren't you very aggressive just now? Didn't you want to beat someone up? Why don't you pay attention to your image? Are you demanding double standards from others?"
"I, let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you!" the nunnery owner shouted while holding her breath.
"I know you are not afraid of me. You are afraid of my fists. I still understand this." Tang Qian actually has no ability to fight with the nunnery master now. He is evenly matched between brothers, but people don't know his background.
, so he still knows how to fake the power of a tiger and use the tiger's skin to make a banner.
"Okay, apologize, I don't like waiting." Tang Qian said.
"I……"
"I'll give you 3 seconds to think about it. Do you want to say something, or do you want to talk about it? 3~2~" Before Tang Qian shouted "1", the nunnery owner gave up. He didn't want to do it in public with tens of thousands of fans.
I was embarrassed in front of others, so I had no choice but to "bear the humiliation and bear the burden" and "sit on the fire".
"I, I'm sorry Bryant." The nunnery owner said with a forced voice.
"Can you be sincere? Who can hear you in such a low voice?" Tang Qian deliberately joked.
"Forget it, forget it, just admit your mistake. After all, we are still teammates. Don't make the relationship too tense." At this time, Mike Brown stood up to smooth things over, because there was really going to be a quarrel. For the Lakers,
The situation is unfavorable.
"Okay, for the sake of Bryant and Coach Brown, I'll let you go this time. Remember next time, think twice before speaking. Do you understand?" Tang Qian also came down the steps, because he
The main purpose is also to intimidate, just scare the nunnery owner, and there is no intention to actually kill people.
"China Hot, don't be complacent. I won't be playing in the next games. Let's see what you can do. You can't force me to play! Ah!" Seeing that he had lost face, the nunnery master couldn't help but change his tactics.
"You are deliberately slacking off! Do you still have the spirit of a professional player?" Mike Brown said angrily when he heard this, because this state of the nunnery has a great impact on the overall strength of the Lakers. For his own sake
As the head coach, he couldn't let the nunnery master do this.
"It's not like that, head coach." Anzhu emphasized the word "head coach" very hard, sounding very nonchalant and said: "I just found out after I got off the field that my knee was very uncomfortable.
I guess something went wrong, so I can't play again. I'm sorry, coach."
"Bynum, you weakling! You did it on purpose, right?" Mike Brown said angrily.
"What if it's intentional? What if it's not intentional? My body is mine, and I know it best!" the nunnery master said with a proud smile, which made people's teeth itch. But he didn't know that what he said was
The words came true, because after the end of this season, a huge knee problem came to him, and it will linger for the rest of his life.
But this is a topic for later, let’s not mention it for now.
"Rebellion! You are really rebelling! Are you openly defying the authority of my head coach? When the playoffs are over, I will definitely suggest to the management to restrain you!!!" The nunnery was afraid of Tang Qian, but not afraid of Mike at all.
Brown smiled disdainfully and said: "I am the cornerstone of the Lakers' future team building. Do you think you can shake my position? Mr. Mitch Kupchak promised me this big policy.
No one can change it!"
"Arrogant!!!"
"Bryant, I know you want to win the sixth O'Brien Cup, right? But without me on the team, do you think you can still do it this season? If you offend me, you will lose the tie.
Jordan's opportunity! You should think about it carefully!" The master's mind seemed to become more and more flexible as he used it. When he spoke, he was much more organized than usual, which made people have to stop and think carefully.
Kobe's face turned cold, but he also admitted that there was no problem with what the other party said.
He will be 34 years old soon. His physical condition and competitive condition are declining year by year. This is not a reality that he can change. No matter how he takes care of himself or trains, he can only slow down the rate of decline and cannot improve it. So.
This season, he is very eager to win the championship, otherwise, his chances will become increasingly slim as time goes on.
Seeing that Kobe didn't speak for a while, the nunnery owner knew that he had hit the point, so he continued to increase the threat and said: "In the next game, increase my shooting rights and at the same time ensure my sole position in the low post, otherwise don't blame me.
You don’t have the professionalism of a professional player anymore, Bryant.”
When Tang Qian saw this, he knew that Andrew Bynum was completely done. At least he had come to an end with the Lakers. Now Kobe, Mike Brown, and Mitch Kupchak are tolerant of him. That's because of his physical condition.
Healthy, there is unlimited potential in the future, but once they find out that the nunnery master has suffered a devastating knee injury, at that time, everything they have accumulated before will explode.
The sad thing is that Tang Qian understands that all this has been destined for a long time.
The nunnery owner is becoming more arrogant and arrogant now. A few months later, his fall will become worse and heavier.
But Tang Qian had no need or obligation to remind the nunnery master, because he didn't want to pay attention to such a rotten person.
This is a naked threat! If Kobe agrees, his status and prestige in the team will plummet!
So Kobe fell into silence.
"Bryant, Mr. Mike Brown, there is no need to think too much. He is in this condition. What effect will you have if you replace him? Another 0-for-6 shot? Falling behind 0-3 means that
Everyone knows what it is." After Tang Qian finished speaking, the nunnery owner interrupted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Only if I replace you, the team will have a chance of survival, do you understand? Otherwise, will it be up to you to reverse the situation???
"
Just when the nunnery master was arrogant and showing off his superiority, Tang Qian suddenly said: "Yes, we are enough."
