Kobe passed the ball to Ci Shiping, and Ci Shiping made a three-pointer with Durant. The Lakers' No. 15 has this kind of "magic". He has a good touch and is no worse than a star player. Moreover.
The key thing is that his brain is "missing a string", so no matter how big the scene or the critical moment, he will not flinch or fear at all.
87-99.
The Thunder's tactics are very simple. Since Westbrook feels good tonight, let him "work alone". Even Kevin Durant won't say much at this point. "Thunder Young Masters" are here
This season, they are still close friends who work closely together, so if Westbrook wants to attack, Durant will only take the initiative to cooperate and create space for the former to attack.
The defender of the Lakers is naturally No. 24, Kobe Bryant.
Seeing Kobe standing in front of him, Russell Westbrook dribbled the ball and said: "Bryant, you are old, and your legs and feet can't react anymore. If you defend me one-on-one, you won't get any advantage." He said.
He said this very confidently, and it seems that the success of the singles just now has injected endless self-confidence into Westbrook.
After all, in previous seasons, as long as Kobe was guarding him alone, his shooting percentage would drop sharply, but this season, there has been a change.
The NBA has always been about "the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead". As a professional player, Russell Westbrook naturally understands this truth. Therefore, he believes that the time for him to defeat Kobe has arrived, and tonight's game will be
It was the night he completely defeated Los Angeles No. 24 on the offensive end.
Although in this year's ESPN rankings, ESPN has moved up Kobe's position, from seventh last year to sixth, but for the "Black Mamba" who is "arrogant and arrogant", this number still brings...
It's "insulting" in nature. He still stubbornly believes that he is still one of the top three super players in the league.
And what about Russell Westbrook? He’s only ranked ninth! He didn’t pay much attention to it before!
How dare you challenge me head-on???!!!I...
Kobe originally wanted to stimulate the consciousness of "fighting", but suddenly, a number floated in his mind, and then he took a deep breath, but did not release oo.one's energy. This fell on
In Russell Westbrook's eyes, he thought that Kobe had given in, so he glanced at him and said rudely: "You are getting older. You are no longer the invincible black mamba."
"In this case, just accept failure calmly."
"Bryant! You can no longer suppress me on the defensive end!"
"So... enjoy my back!"
Westbrook once again made a breakthrough, and his speed was still extremely fast. In terms of explosive power, he was even more powerful than Derrick Rose.
There is no problem with Kobe's defensive awareness, and he has made predictions, but as Westbrook said, predictions are useless because his aging body can no longer keep up with the reaction of his consciousness. So he forced it
Defending his opponent alone, Kobe's chances of winning were indeed very slim. However, the face of Lakers No. 24 did not show any anxiety about this ball. Instead, he was extremely calm, and he followed it leisurely.
It was so easy to break through! Huh, "Black Mamba" is really dead! His defensive speed in the past was definitely not at this level!
This is the result of the replacement of the old with the new. The golden generation of 1996 has come to an end!
Russell Westbrook habitually went straight up and down without any fake moves. He slightly bent his right foot and then flew high into the air.
Looking at him like this, he was about to perform a big straight-arm chop.
When the Lakers are behind by a big score and are on the road, this kind of breakthrough dunk performance will be fatal to the morale of the team. In many cases, it even destroys the opposing team's resistance at all.
Strange.
On the 29th, I hope you are not lying!
Kobe watched Westbrook soar and thought to himself.
Because at this time, it was no longer possible for him to intervene.
All we can do is trust the insiders and teammates.
Tang Qian saw Westbrook heading towards the Lakers' basket. Of course, he couldn't give way, so he chose a good time and moved to get within his effective basket protection range. As for Kendrick Perkins
With Serge Ibaka, he didn't think much about it at all, because for the first time, it was impossible for the Thunder's No. 0 to pass the ball.
The first is that he looks down on himself, and the second is that he is conceited, so for this ball, he only needs to wholeheartedly resist the opponent's basket attack.
"Okay~ Russell is flying~ He got rid of Kobe Bryant~ Get ready for a big dunk~"
However, a second later, Thunder on-site commentator Grant Long got stuck in his throat because... Tang Qian was like a giant wall rising from the ground, blocking Westbrook and the Lakers' basket.
.Then, he raised his palm and sealed it with one palm.
Pa~~~
Russell Westbrook bet that this was the most powerful rim block he had ever encountered.
When that palm passed, he immediately felt a huge force, like an overwhelming force, hitting his right hand.
Then, the entire basketball exploded into the air.
He was directly kicked out of the Lakers' three-point line.
"Return to defense! Return to defense immediately!" Kevin Durant's voice had just appeared, and with a "bang", the Thunder's basket made a crisp sound. And there, there was a capital letter floating in the air.
The back view of No. 24.
"Bryant, how are you? Did you enjoy the dunk?" Tang Qian suddenly asked jokingly after seeing Kobe back on defense.
He is qualified, at least in this past round, he was qualified to "joke" Kobe, because without his strong blocking and strong blocking, how could Kobe's solo fast break and two-handed dunk be possible? Kobe looked at Tang
Qian paused for about a second before saying, "You didn't brag. That's good. I like it very much."
"Hehe, good luck, good luck." Tang Qian said with a "haha" smile.
"I don't care if you are lucky or not, can you continue to do it? I just want the results." Kobe continued to ask.
"Of course~" Tang Qian replied generously: "Of course I can!"
"Okay, let's continue." After Kobe said that, he ran away and went to guard Westbrook who was dribbling the ball across the court.
Even though the words he just said didn't have any strong tone words, Tang Qian felt that this man was gradually identifying with himself and gradually affirming himself, just like he accepted Pau Gasol back then.
In this league, it is not easy to win the favor of the "Black Mamba", especially when he is just a small substitute player. But Tang Qian, No. 29 of the Lakers, is gradually becoming more and more like Kobe Bryant.
Lent's vision.
This is definitely good news.
Because gaining the favor of the team boss is sometimes more useful than gaining the favor of the head coach.
Looking at Yi back then, it was because he only had a normal relationship with the team boss that even if the head coach gave him a lot of time to practice, the effect was extremely insignificant. This was his predicament and predicament at the time, so he was "isolated" in the end.
, it will be a matter of time before he packs up and leaves. Even the "Proud of Heaven" LeBron James, when he first entered the league, "played" for Ricky Davis for a period of time. Although in the end
Everyone knows the result, but James' strength is reflected in his personal ability. If he doesn't have the kind of strength to "dominate the world" as soon as he enters the league, he should just follow the procedures.
Besides, emotionally, Tang Qian respected Kobe very much.
Especially this season.
89-99, the Lakers were still 10 points behind.
In the next offensive round, Thunder No. 0 was not afraid and continued to attack with the ball, because in terms of offensive decisiveness, he was no worse than a superstar. Since you blocked one of me, then I must fight back. Why for future generations
Kobe always praises Westbrook because his "fighting spirit" is very close to Kobe. He is different from the new generation of stars. His playing method and style may be closer to the older generation of players.
Therefore, he must hit the "revenge ball".
Kobe's defense was still the same as before, unhurried and unhurried, and no longer fierce.
So without much effort, Westbrook "teared" Kobe's direction, and then rushed to the Lakers' basket for the second time. Due to the "lesson" from the previous round, Westbrook this time
The attack became even more ferocious in one round, like a blue lightning that ran across with a "whoosh".
The target was pointed directly at the Lakers' basket.
Tang Qian took off, raised his long arms, and continued to defend the Los Angeles basket, but this time, he was not so easy to succeed. Westbrook's personal ability has improved to a certain extent this season, and has almost reached the peak of the All-Stars.
He has stepped into the ranks of quasi-superstars. Although there are only a few words different, there are very few players who can reach the quasi-superstar level and status in the NBA. And obviously, for the Thunder's No. 0
, quasi-superstars are not the end of personal strength.
Facing Tang Qian's block, Westbrook stretched his right hand straight, then blocked it slightly with his left hand before slamming into the basket.
This is a common action for dunk masters. Many people use it, but very few actually use it well. Because this action walks between "legal" and "foul" according to the rules of the game. Once it goes too far,
, he will immediately receive a whistle, cancel the score, and lose the ball. Carter is the pinnacle of this hard dunk technique. Back then, even O'Neal had to "make a three-part agreement" with him in private to prevent him from performing crazy violence on his head.
When Russell Westbrook uses dunk, the effect is naturally not as strong as Carter's, but it is still considered a proficiency. Coupled with the abnormal explosive power, when used, looking at today's league, there are few insiders who are not prepared.
In some cases, it can be broken down.
Therefore, he is confident that even the shot-blocking king of the East, who is a bastard, can't do it either.
Didn't you just cover a ball for me? Well, I'll give it back to you right away!
Moreover, it must be ten times more intense!!!
This is the style and personality of Thunder No. 0. Players are horrified to see it and fans are amused to see it.
Tang Qian now belongs to the former group, because this is the first time he has experienced this technique personally.
It's not that he hasn't seen it before. As he said before, this is not a profound skill, but it is the first time he has used it so well since he came to the United States. The previous players either lacked physical fitness.
There was no way he could easily shake Tang Qian's defense, or he would perform it so poorly that Tang Qian couldn't laugh or cry. So at this moment, it was the "first time" for him to face such a hard dunk skill.
In fact, Westbrook had this skill before, but in the NBA, there are not many opportunities to use it. Nowadays, the league generally lacks big centers. To deal with insiders who are not tall enough, there is no need to go to so much trouble, just fly and dunk hard. Therefore, it is necessary to
If not against Tang Qian, Westbrook would not have thought of using this dunk skill.
I'll dunk you hard! This is a common way for NBA outside players to provoke inside players!
Once successful, it will definitely be posted on posters.
Humph! As expected of Westbrook! But I’m not someone to be bullied either!
Tang Qian was in mid-air, and he actually forcibly lifted his chest, and then pushed Westbrook's assistant hand away!
What kind of power is this??? How can it be so powerful???
Seeing that he was about to be shot, Russell Westbrook quickly straightened his back, and then changed the dunk into a one-handed throw just as Tang Qian's palm was about to touch the basketball.
Can it still be like this?
This also surprised Tang Qian. He originally thought that this ball would definitely be blocked.
Russell Westbrook, known as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", is really not a vegetarian! Amazing!
But the basketball failed to fall into the Lakers' net. It can be seen that the sudden change of tactics is a bit forced for the current Russell Westbrook. His hand skills and playing style are not originally Rose.
He was so skilled that even if he barely escaped Tang Qian's block, it would be difficult to successfully put him into the basket.
Tang Qian was tall and had long arms, so he protected the defensive rebound as soon as he landed. Then Kobe attacked and faced Thabo Sefolosha and scored a long-distance 45-degree three-pointer.
Brush~ A white wave stirred up on the Thunder's basketball net.
Thapo Sefolosha defended this ball well, and there were no big problems with his positioning or judgment. But unfortunately, the No. 24 he faced just threw the basketball in. This kind of personal ability ball,
He had no choice but to look back at the head coach and express that he had tried his best.
92-99.
In the next few minutes, although Tang Qian did not block any more shots, he was very good at interfering with the attackers.
This caused the Thunder's interior offense to almost fall into a state of shutdown in a short period of time.
The Lakers took the opportunity to chase points, and after a small climax, they caught up with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
102-102, the two sides ended in a draw at the last moment.
PS: A new climax is coming, haha~ It will break out tomorrow~ It will break out~~~
