Chapter 771 You are the air conditioner and I am the ice!
After the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 78-87. After the third quarter, the Thunder only led their opponents by 9 points! Less than double digits!!!
This is something that Scott Brooks did not expect, and even more so that Kevin Durant did not expect. Because from their perspective, the third quarter was a comprehensive crushing of Oklahoma, and the opponent should not be able to resist.
!Basically, we didn’t score many points in this quarter on the 24th. We only scored less than 24 points from halftime to now. It may look good, but if you look at the number of shots, you will know that this efficiency is really too low.
Quite a bit.
What about Durant? Durant was in very good shape in the third quarter, shooting over 60%! This is the ultimate touch for an outside player! So why was he leading by nearly 20 points at halftime, and by the third quarter the score was even worse?
Has it dropped to single digits?
The reason is the inside line! The Thunder's inside line was almost destroyed by their opponents!
Both Ibaka and Steven Adams were crying! You said you couldn't defend alone, forget it! Just now, just now, it was two people jointly defending the Oriental center! He actually still relied on the basket to hit hard
, scored a full 25 points in a single quarter! This is really exaggerated! And what makes the Thunder insiders suffer the most is that this guy scored 25 points, except for free throws, except for shots... all of them hit the basket!!!
No matter how big the defensive moves are, they can't stop him!!!
Even though he didn't appear in the second quarter, he has scored more than 30 points in the three quarters now! Shooting rate! The shooting rate is over 90%!!! Oh my god!!! 90%??? Do you think you are playing a game?
???
Even if it's a center, even if it's the 5th position, that's still too much!!!
Tang Qian looked at his scoring and shooting percentage. He had no choice but to deliberately miss a few shots in the fourth quarter.
In the third quarter, because Kobe was not in the best offensive condition, he had to use a super high abnormal shooting percentage to maintain the score difference and not be taken away in a wave. Kobe sat on the bench with a gloomy look on his face. This is
After he achieved his all-round peak ability this season, it was the first time he played so "stinky"! And he just said such embarrassing words before the game, wouldn't he let himself be slapped in the face by his opponent now? In order to take a gamble, Kobe once again rejected Mike
.D'Antoni's end request, judging from the posture of No. 24, he is preparing to fight for the whole game tonight!
Tang Qian wanted to persuade him, but when he thought of Kobe's personality, a man who would not recover from consecutive injuries before his Achilles tendon was torn, he gave up. The only way to get Kobe to stop and take a breath was
...The Lakers have really become stronger. Instead of relying solely on themselves and Kobe to keep up the facade as they are now.
I can still provide firepower support on the offensive end this month. What about after this game?
What should I do? Pau Gasol, who originally had high hopes, is now in a downturn. I don’t know why his overall energy is not right!
It’s so frustrating!!! There are holes everywhere!!!
The Lakers are now a gorgeous wooden ship. They can stay ahead during the voyage. This is not because of their strength, but because of the extraordinary ability of the captain and first mate. But when the manpower will eventually be exhausted, NBA games will not be a hundred.
A meter sprint is a marathon. Once the captain and first mate are exhausted, the wooden wheel will still be a wooden wheel. It will not be able to run over the reef, break through the obstacles, and withstand the impact of the iron ship just because of its gorgeous appearance.
The Lakers' test has just begun after this game.
But now is not the time to think so far ahead, we must focus on overtaking the score and killing the Thunder first.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe hit 2 irons in a row, and another was a wide-open three-pointer. This allowed the Thunder to seize the opportunity, continuously switch offense and defense, and the score difference once again widened to 14 points!
78-92, the Lakers are in a worrying situation.
In this situation where it is impossible to completely defend, the guarantee of offense is particularly important. No matter how powerful Tang Qian is, he cannot single-handedly exceed the score difference. Because the opponent is also scoring, and it is not just the Lakers who are scoring.
Durant broke through and Kobe came from the right side to cover up the defense, but Durant had already charged for the ball. Although his scoring ability this season cannot be compared with the latter. However, that is not that he is not good, it is just this
Kobe Bryant's season is so special. In fact, he is also a super scorer this season! His average of 32+ per game is not fake! Generally speaking, it is basically impossible to completely contain a scorer of this level.
It doesn't matter who comes.
To the extent that they can explode each other, who is bigger and who is smaller.
Especially now that Thunder No. 35 is so popular. If you say you can't let him score, this is absolutely impossible.
Durant took a step to collect the ball, then jumped on one foot, rode a horse and shot an arrow and said: "I will win tonight, Black Mamba."
"Your time has passed! You are old! Give up!!!"
Kobe's ball was originally meant to be a back-up defense, and he was in a bad position, unable to directly block Durant's already speeding pace. In addition, the opponent was in a hot state, so he could only take a gamble and attack, but he didn't achieve anything.
.The basketball still flew high in front of Kobe.
Directly to the Lakers' basket.
"I said it! I don't need you to ask me! So is the scoring champion! So is the MVP! I can get it myself!!!"
Durant felt it as soon as he took the shot. He was in great shape tonight, so it was just the right time to overpower Kobe!
Even if the two people are out of position, it doesn't matter. What Durant wants is to ridicule with momentum after scoring and take advantage of the ridicule.
"Durant was in great shape tonight. Our defensive players couldn't stand him at all! Kobe has to defend Westbrook again! This ball is difficult to hit. Well, this is, this is a block!!!
!!!!!!This is a block!!!!!!!!!! Dongfang Fanggao rushed out from the inside, and then rewarded Kevin Durant with a big shot!!!!!!!
!!!!!!"
Bill MacDonald's commentary said everything, Tang Qian blocked this attack.
"Don't think it's so easy to score a goal! The Lakers' inside line is mine!" Tang Qian said to Durant after blocking the shot, which made the latter spit in anger, which sounded like
Scolding certain words starting with F.
"Mark up!!! Don't hesitate!!! Go around the front!!! Go for a double team!!! Don't let that Eastern center catch the ball easily!!!" Scott Brooks also understands it now. Tonight the Lakers
The main offensive force is not Kobe, but the No. 29 inside. If he hadn't forced support in the third quarter, the Lakers would have been defeated! So the Thunder coach changed the defensive strategy and shifted the defensive focus to the inside.
!
At this moment, Tang Qian's pressure suddenly increased! It's not that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to score points! After all, he was still within the effectiveness of the silver score card tonight. What he was afraid of was...
"The Thunder implemented a high-intensity defense against Tong! They contracted the penalty area to completely cut off the passing route to the inside!"
"Can Perm get the ball?"
Can you get it? No! This kind of obvious targeting was originally intended to cut off the Lakers' internal and external connections! If Nash was here now, there would be some way, and Kobe could actually do it, but he...
Of course, the disadvantage of doing this is also obvious, that is, the defensive power of the outside line will be weakened. If the Lakers' outside line can seize the opportunity...
When~
Reality told Tang Qian that the Lakers failed to catch the outside line and hit the open three-pointer.
Tang Qian has to be crowded with so many Thunder players at once. If he is not in high explosive form, there is almost nothing he can do.
After all, this is an offensive rebound, which is at least three times more difficult than defensive rebounding.
The Thunder held the ball for a fast break. Westbrook was like a sharp sword, accelerating and impacting. In the blink of an eye, he ran through the center circle and stepped into the Lakers' three-point line. Fortunately, Kobe returned to defense very quickly, and he was able to get ahead of Westbrook.
Brook followed the former before entering the penalty area.
With Kobe's body and defensive ability this season, it is not impossible to get the ball from Westbrook right now, because the Lakers' No. 24 is best at defending this kind of one-on-one and ball-handling offense. I didn't know it was left for Westbrook before.
What an embarrassing game. What's more, this season, he is at his all-round peak. It is very possible for him to overpower Westbrook.
When Russell Westbrook saw this, his first thought was to hit hard, but Kobe's defensive momentum made him feel invulnerable. As soon as he thought about it...
"What is Westbrook doing??? He didn't hold the ball firmly, did he let it go??? No, someone followed, he is Kevin Durant of the Thunder!!! Kevin Durant
Alley-oop, dunk to the basket!!!”
Because Kobe's attention was focused on Westbrook in front of him, he couldn't dodge this ball.
Therefore, Kevin Durant dropped an alley-oop dunk from the sky and hit Lakers No. 24 head-on.
Kobe was pushed open by the sudden huge force and almost fell to the ground.
78-94, the Thunder continued to widen the score difference!
16 points!!!
"Bryant! Did you see that? This is what happens if you stop me from going to the top!" After Durant fell from the basket, he lowered his head to Lakers No. 24 and said: "My name is Kevin Durant.
!The cold air flowing in my veins!"
"I will be the MVP of the league! The number one key player in the league! The strongest player in the league!"
After so many years, Durant has indeed reached a bottleneck. If he does not break through it, he will stop here in his life. He wants to become a super giant, so this step must be taken!
For now, he is only a top star, not even a quasi-superstar.
Because he has neither MVP nor FMVP.
Honor doesn't mean everything, but if it doesn't exist, it doesn't work either.
There are rumors in the outside world that this year’s MVP competition is the most valuable in the past 20 years! If anyone can win, it will have a huge bonus for future historical status! So, Durant’s contribution to this year’s MVP competition will be huge.
The best player in the regular season, extremely eager.
He has been a "Du Shubao" for so many years, and it's time to accumulate enough. He wants to break out and reach the sky in one step!
He wants to become a super giant who can truly talk.
Say what you want to say without covering up too much.
Tang Qian came over. He was originally worried that Kobe would lose his cool, but he thought too much.
The reason why Black Mamba is called Black Mamba is not because it sounds nice, but because of its strength.
Kobe slowly raised his head, looked at Durant and said: "I know there is cold air flowing in your veins, but remember, my veins are full of ice."
