The performance in the first half of the first quarter became a microcosm of the first half of the two teams. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Thunder scored 55 points in the first half, relying on the ability of the double-less, and the offensive play was basically at a normal level.

Under normal circumstances, they are a few points ahead of their opponents at this time.

However, their performance on the defensive end this time was obviously abnormal, or rather, they had no way to deal with Tang Hao.

Tang Hao alone scored a double-double of 18 points and 13 assists in the first half, and he was like two scoring maniacs before, but became an assist master.

Such a performance was surprising, and it was with his play that the Lakers led the Thunder by 5 points at halftime.

"Scott, the role players of the Lakers had a good first half, but they couldn't have a good hand for the whole game." At halftime, Thunder assistant coach John Treb said to Brooks.

Hearing Treb's words, Brooks nodded suddenly, Tang Hao's scoring ability is very strong, but the situation in the first half is not a problem with his tactical strategy, but the other players of the Lakers team are also online.

As long as they stick to their strategy, the Thunder can still win the game easily.

'Guys, in the first half, everybody did a good job and in the second half we had to stick to the defensive strategy.' Brooks spoke to the players as he entered the locker room.

As soon as he said this, Westbrook and Durant glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a trace of dissatisfaction.

Brooks noticed this and added, "The Lakers shot over 60 percent from the field in the first half, and they couldn't have been that accurate in the second half." ”

Durant couldn't help but smile helplessly at this time, pinning the winner of the game on the opponent's hand, which is really not appropriate for a team that aspires to win the championship.

Westbrook also obviously had something to say at this time, but he couldn't bear to say it directly.

After Brooks finished speaking in the middle of the field and turned to leave the locker room, Westbrook followed and got up to chase after him.

"Coach." Westbrook called out to Brooks.

"Russell, is there something wrong?" Brooks looked at Westbrook quizzically.

"yes, I don't think we should do that anymore, we shouldn't put our expectations on the opponent's hand, and if the opponent's hand is still hot, aren't we wasting our energy on the defensive end?" The dissatisfaction was evident in Westbrook's tone.

Brooks frowned, even though he knew that Westbrook was such a character, this kind of face-to-face questioning still made him a little uncomfortable.

"It's not about pinning our hopes on the opponent, the Lakers felt good in the first half, a lot of it was because of open shots, and in the second half we increased the speed of the rotation, which was completely limited."

"Coach, we've been fast enough to help defend, and that's how we chose to pick up the bag." Westbrook has a tough attitude.

"Russell." Brooks's tone also changed a little, "You also saw in the first half, if you don't wrap up, Don will tear up our defense. ”

"Now he's shredding our defense!" Westbrook said in an accentuated tone.

Brooks' breathing became heavier, he looked at Westbrook and said, "Then what do you say, what is the best choice?" ”

"Offense, offense is what we are good at, we pull away and fight them, we have a great hope of winning, there is only one Tang Hao in Los Angeles, what are we afraid of?"

Brooks was silent, and Westbrook's words, although direct, were not entirely unreasonable.

"Coach, let me defend Tang Hao." Westbrook said with a patting of his chest when he saw Brooks' change of attitude.

"Let's try it first, and if it's the same as in the first half, we'll give up the bag." Brooks spoke.

Westbrook and Durant are the Thunder's biggest assets, and Brooks naturally knows that, and he chose a middle way.

Westbrook nodded, albeit with a direct temper, but Brooks' proposal was already considered to have taken his proposal.

Back in the locker room, Westbrook approached Durant, and after the two men exchanged, Durant also approved the offer.

Coming back in the second half, the emotions of the home fans were still high.

Although I couldn't see Tang Hao's 101-point performance, it was completely worth it to see Tang Hao's magical pass for the first time.

After a timeout, the Lakers' offensive round came back, and Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball.

After playing a few blocks and dismantling cooperation, the ball went to Tang Hao's hands again.

As soon as Tang Hao received the ball, Durant's assistant defense came up.

Tang Hao's 100-step penetrating power came into play, clearly seeing his teammates' running positions and scoring opportunities, and a hit flew directly under Durant's crotch and passed to Kelly on the right.

The fans at the scene were excited, and Tang Hao came back in the second half not only to pass the ball, but also to show it.

Kelly had an open three-point attempt.

Kelly is a spatial power forward who doesn't have much presence, but he can be called a spatial power forward and definitely has the ability to shoot three-pointers.

"Huh~"

There are not a few shooting opportunities in a game, and this kind of vacancy is even more rare, he has no psychological burden, so he just throws it, and this shot is there.

The unhappiness on Durant's face is already quite obvious.

In the next few rounds, the Thunder team still carried out the package plan against Tang Hao.

Tang Hao was also unkind, sending five assists in a row, and the Lakers also took advantage of the situation to play a wave of 10-4, stretching the difference to double digits.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans, the Lakers' role players remained fairly consistent in their open shots.

When the Thunder team paused, Durant slapped his seat in anger as soon as he got off the court, and it could be seen that he was quite dissatisfied with the team's tactical strategy.

Westbrook was even more violently skinned on his chest, and he could feel that if the team played like this again, he would fall into a rampage in the next second.

"We need to change our tactics and stop using the pack, Russell, you defend Don, Kevin, you lead the offense."

When Brooks said this, Westbrook and Durant's mood stabilized significantly, and they were replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

The team that was aiming to win the championship was pressed and beaten by a team with a belly of the fish, and they had been holding back their strength for a long time, and now they can finally let go of their hands and feet to play, and they can't wait to play right away.

The Thunder's offense came back from a timeout.

Westbrook went straight to the basket with a pick-and-roll and scored on Kelly's tough layup.

The goal also resulted in a defensive foul on Kelly.

After the ball was scored, Westbrook yelled in place with excitement and slapped his chest hard.

The fans were agitated, Westbrook was known for his passion, and the front was even, and this pause came back, as if the blood switch was turned on, and the desire to fight was full at once.

With a solid hit and a free throw, Westbrook helped the team chase the margin to single digits.

The Lakers' offense, Jeremy Lin feinted to attack the basket and gave the ball to Tang Hao on the outside.

Tang Hao held the ball and immediately found that the Thunder's defense had changed.

The defender in front of him changed from Robertson to Westbrook, and he didn't have a bag.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, few teams will have their own offensive core to defend the opponent's attacking core, even if the player is very good defensively.

Because a player's stamina is limited, and if you put too much energy into the defensive end, the success rate on the offensive end will naturally decline.

The likes of Paul George, Jimmy Butler, and Kawhi Leonard all started out defensively, but once they became the core of the team, they rarely kept an eye on the opponent's arrow scorers.

Brooks used Westbrook to mark him, and the only explanation was to fight the bayonet in a white-knuckle fight.

After analyzing the situation, Tang Hao immediately chose to change direction and break through Westbrook.

Westbrook followed Tang Hao closely, he became famous early and had excellent scoring ability, which overshadowed his ability on the defensive end.

At this time, he was close to Tang Hao, and the defensive effect was not inferior to Robertson.

Tang Hao was also a little surprised, but that's all.

He used his body control ability to change direction continuously, and after breaking through, he quickly found space for himself to shoot.

He slowed down, then accelerated, squeezed Westbrook away, and jumped up to split the buckle with one hand.

Westbrook was pushed out of the way, but didn't give up, rushing out of the diagonal and reaching for a forced stop.

Tang Hao felt a huge resistance coming from the side, but he didn't give up the dunk, and the whole person exerted his strength again, directly slammed into Westbrook, and pressed the ball towards the basket with one hand.

Westbrook didn't have time to dodge, and was directly ridden by Tang Hao.

"Bang!"

Tang Hao directly rode Westbrook and pressed the ball into the basket fiercely.

The audience's eyes widened, and Westbrook scored a tough score in front of him, and Tang Hao deducted it this time, or rode and dunked one, which was carried!

After Tang Hao landed, he didn't show great excitement like Westbrook, and when he turned around and saw that the referee didn't blow the whistle, he turned around and walked back.

There was a bang from the fans.

If Westbrook is a fire, then Tang Hao is now a piece of ice, and when two people meet, it becomes a song of ice and fire.

The Thunder's offense, Westbrook directly forced Jeremy Lin, his eyes were full of anger, and he directly hit Kelly, who was making up the defense, and the two rushed off the court one after another.

The referee awarded Kelly a blocking foul.

Westbrook got up and glared at Kelly and hit two free throws from the free throw line to help the Thunder catch up.

Looking back, it was still Westbrook who was targeting Tang Hao.

Tang Hao singled out Westbrook and made a stop-and-go jump shot after a continuous change of direction.

Westbrook jumped up to interfere, but the height was obviously not enough, and Tang Hao's jump shot hit steadily.

The baseline ball was issued, Westbrook quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, and without waiting for his teammates to come up, he rushed directly to the basket.

Kelly, who assisted in the defense, learned to be obedient this time, and he had been waiting there for a long time, and as soon as Westbrook rushed up, he protected his crotch with both hands, and directly stood firm in advance.

The two men collided together and flew out of the field together again.

The referee stretched out his finger and Westbrook's offensive foul!

Westbrook got up and saw the referee's gesture, and immediately jumped up, rushed to the referee's side, and shouted and screamed.

The referee was not polite and gave a technical foul with a shake of his hand.

Westbrook still wanted to argue, but was pulled by Durant and kept saying something in his ear.

In this contest between ice and fire, the fire began to get out of control first.

Tang Hao's face was still calm, and after he walked to the front court, he hit a technical free throw, which was not counted, and when the ball was sent out on the sidelines, he received a pass from his teammates and hit the ball.

Unlike Westbrook, Tang Hao's piece of ice remained quite calm at this time.

Brooks smiled bitterly and helplessly at this time.

The Thunder team came up with the offense they were best at, and from the immediate point of view, they still didn't get any benefits, but let Tang Hao easily enter the scoring mode again.

The Thunder's offense, perhaps what Durant said, Westbrook stabilized the rhythm and rarely chose to split the ball after the breakthrough.

The ball was distributed to Durant, who received the ball and threw it, hitting a big two-point shot.

Although he hadn't touched the ball for a while, he still maintained a good touch.

The Lakers' offense, Tang Hao broke through Westbrook and was a little unlucky, and the ball went in and slid out.

The Thunder counterattacked, Westbrook distributed the ball to Durant again, and Durant shot and threw again.

Brooks shouted excitedly.

The team finally played the way he wanted.

It can be seen from these two rounds that in the exchange a while ago, Durant should have asked Westbrook to give him the right to shoot.

In the next few rounds, the two sides completely entered the offensive battle.

The calmed down Westbrook and Durant duo maintained a fairly high offensive success rate on both sides against Tang Hao.

Here Durant threw one, looking back Tang Hao was a violent frame, here Westbrook made a strong layup to score two points, and over there Tang Hao made a graceful backward shot.

You go back and forth to score, and the fans are also addicted to watching.

It wasn't until Tang Hao rested that the offensive battle between the two sides came to an end temporarily.

"40 points, 20 assists, phew!"

When Tang Hao just got off the field, a fan suddenly exclaimed.

The people in front of them couldn't take their eyes off the offensive battle, and it wasn't until Tang Hao was off the field that anyone noticed the technical statistics, and when they saw Tang Hao's 40 plus 20 data, they were all shocked.

Tang Hao didn't have a total of 20 assists in the previous games, but he got 20 assists in the third quarter of this game, this kind of role switching, it is impossible for ordinary people to do it!

To put it simply, this is not a question of ability, but simply a matter of ideas, if you want to score, you can score, if you want to pass, you can assist, this ability to play with ease is not without in the history of the NBA, but to be able to play to this extent, this is definitely the first person in history who has never been seen before or since!

And there's also a race!

At this time, the emotions of the fans at the scene have reached a point of excitement, a new record belonging to the rookie, and it seems that it is about to be born!
