Naturally, this game will be broadcast live on ESPN, and coincidentally, Chris Webber and Henry Abbott will be the guests. Looking at this situation, it should be that they have "signed for 2 games" in one go.
Continuous double games, the host and away team changed, and the last time was tragic. In this game, the Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, was filled with loud shouts. And since the warm-up, there has been no
Stopped.
"Fuck these L.A. guys!!! Kevin!!! You are the MVP in my mind!!!"
"If it hadn't been for that idiot who forced the referee last time, we would have won a long time ago!!! We must defeat the Lakers at our home court tonight!!!"
"Just let them enjoy being second in the Western Conference for the time being!!! We will take it back soon!!!"
"Come on!!! Kevin!!! This season should be your season!!!"
On the court, Tang Qian said with a wry smile while warming up: "These guys are really high-spirited, they have been so fierce from the beginning. Aren't you afraid that you didn't bring enough water?" "Don't worry about them, hot, tonight we will be the same as No. 9
, Defeat your opponent and keep winning!" Kobe didn't take it seriously and seriously warmed up and shot.
Tonight, it's hard to say.
Tang Qian had some words that were hard to say because he couldn't explain them clearly to others.
I just hope Gasol can regain some form tonight.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to fight.
As for the Thunder, Durant seems to have been holding his breath. The defeat in the last game still makes him brood. Fortunately, he still has a chance to equalize the score! Tonight at home, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena
Pavilion, absolutely cannot lose!
Definitely gonna win!!!
Up and down the Thunder team also had a sense of revenge, looking at the Los Angeles Lakers with eyes that seemed to be gleaming with fire.
"The eyes are pretty good, but we are the ones who will win tonight." Kobe walked onto the court and greeted Durant.
"You have a beautiful idea! If you hadn't been lucky last time, I would have killed you long ago!" Durant also refused to give in: "I want to take everything back tonight!"
"Okay! Come and try it!" How could Kobe be afraid of such a threat? His expression was a bit joking, like a superior looking at a inferior. This made Thunder No. 35 even more unhappy and gnashing his teeth.
Tonight, we must win!!!!!!!
In the first quarter, the Thunder showed off their powerful offensive firepower, scoring 40 points in a single quarter!!! They scored more points and almost knocked the Lakers to the ground!!! Fortunately, the rest of the Lakers felt pretty good in this quarter.
, and only scored 28 points. Kobe didn't feel good in the first quarter, making only 1 of 6 shots, and his shooting percentage was very low. It can be seen that this situation has begun to occur more and more frequently recently, which is definitely not a good phenomenon. This
This means that the body and physical fitness of Lakers No. 24 are starting to turn yellow.
If the chaos continues, no one can tell what will happen.
But if you want Kobe to leave the game, that's just delusional! Except for the fact that he sprained his ankle during the game against the Bulls and was out for a week this season, he has been playing as much as he can the rest of the time. He has no intention of coming down to rest at all.
The ambition and desire to compete are extremely strong.
Tang Qian understands that this is because No. 24 knows that this will be his last season, so he will race against time and is unwilling to give up every game. After all, every game is one less game.
.
As a high school player who joined the NBA before he was 18 years old, as a person who has played basketball for most of his life and professional basketball for half his life. If you suddenly told him that his career was about to end, of course he would not give up.
That's why Kobe worked so hard, which was different from normal hard work.
The reason is this.
However, this cannot be fought against the physiological rules of the body. You always play the whole game like this, always output powerful offense and defense like this, and you are often in "The.Zone" or "Super God" state. Even a tough guy can't stand it. Jordan
?Jordan has never played like this. This is simply playing at any cost.
But Kobe's spirit can keep up, but his body will always be tired.
The overall peak does not mean that it is a perpetual motion machine. If it exceeds a certain limit, it must be finished.
The injury he suffered last time against the Bulls was a warning sign, meaning that he was not a real iron man, at his all-round peak, he was still a flesh and blood body, and he would still be injured. But the paradox is that now the Lakers are indispensable for Kobe's output on both ends of the offense and defense.
, especially against the Thunder, if you miss Kobe? It is estimated that the opponent will take him away in a wave!
It can be spent in 5 minutes!
Without Tang Qian in the second quarter, the Lakers' inside line was suddenly empty. At this time, the original plan was to attack each other, exchange attacks for attacks, exchange points for points, and try not to let the score difference widen too much. When Tang Qian came back in the second half
, and then start a steady positional attack to increase the defensive intensity.
There is no problem with this tactic and strategy, because without Tang Qian in the second quarter, the Lakers' inside line was suddenly weakened to an unknown extent. In this case, even if you ask the Lakers players on the court to defend with all their strength, it will not be effective.
It's limited. After all, the upper limit of his ability is there, not to mention that under normal circumstances, it can't inspire 100% defensive concentration. Therefore, attacking in the second quarter is a method that D'Antoni came up with that is not a solution for the time being.
But Gasol was still in a sluggish mood tonight, especially after Kobe passed the ball to him, and he suffered a big block from Ibaka and Steven Adams. After that... the Spaniard actually started to "go on strike". No,
Taking the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post again??? This is simply a joke!!! Gasol, as a stable scorer who should average about 18+ points per game, is now so "negative", which suddenly puts the Lakers into a huge dilemma
in the passive state.
The Thunder's defensive counterattack ability is second only to Miami in the league. They were caught in several offensive and defensive transitions at once. After the half, the Lakers were directly 71-51, trailing their opponents by 20 points!!!
If Tang Qian still has the ability, then forget it, there is still a high chance that he can catch up.
Now...it has become a big problem and a big trouble.
Yes, Tang Qian can still hold up on the defensive end, but what about the offensive end? He has lost the magic he had some time ago and can no longer give or take anything he wants. The Lakers' original offensive model of the first ten games suddenly collapsed and turned into another
Some time ago, when Kobe was supporting the overall situation by himself.
At this time, Kobe's physical reserves were also depleting a lot, and his condition was not as stable as it was at the beginning and middle of the season.
The Lakers suddenly fell into a huge crisis.
Needless to say, the defense was only so good. Tang Qian controlled the inside without taking care of the outside, but the offense showed a straight downward trend. It fell like crazy and fell off a cliff like crazy.
Kobe looked at Tang Qian in the locker room, seemingly accusing him:
Why didn't you score inside like before???
Tang Qian was speechless and could only shake his head, unable to give any more response.
The Lakers suddenly fell into a deadlock.
