"The Thunder were in control throughout the first half, and they kept the defending champions at bay. Reggie, what do you think the Lakers relied on in the third quarter to change the direction www.biquge.info of the game? ”

"Kobe Bryant. Reggie Miller didn't think about it, and replied categorically.

He scored 15 points and dished out three assists in a single quarter, and the Lakers only scored 31 points in the third quarter, but Kobe Bryant accounted for 21 of them. That's why he's called great, sometimes it's a player gap between two teams, but that gap isn't something that can be made up casually. Miller's analysis is correct, he is also playing in the NBA, why some players have an annual salary of just over one million, and it is not uncommon for some players to sign a big contract worth hundreds of millions, which is not without reason. Sometimes the excellent performance of the stars can even overshadow the shine of the whole team.

Anjie was seizing all the time to rest, originally thinking that he would get a big victory in Staples soon, but they were forced to be so embarrassed in the third quarter. Is it because the Thunder didn't do a good job? No, Anjie's defense is already in place, and Sefrosa's blocking is also doing its best. But Bryant just gets the ball in, and no matter what you do, he always finds a way to score.

If you let the opponent play well because you didn't do well, it's not terrible, at least the players know where they didn't do well, and there is a chance to correct it in the next game. But when you've done everything to the limit and can't stop the other person, it's a tricky situation.

There's not much Van Gundy can emphasize, and the Thunder don't have any major problems on a tactical level. Now let's see which of the three Thunder young people can stand up and compete with Kobe Bryant to the end!

With the concerted cheers of the Lakers fans, the fourth quarter of the game finally began. The two teams are now separated by just four points, with a full 12 minutes left in the game. Fans love to watch suspenseful games, even if it's the most hated situation for the players on the field.

In the final quarter, the Lakers finally got another chance to attack first. The Zen master is undoubtedly an extremely utilitarian coach, he will not play tricks, and what method is most effective, the Zen master will continue to play with that method until the end of the game. Unless this style of play fails, he won't change it easily.

There is no doubt that the most effective thing for the Lakers right now is the triangle offense, or using other people's involvement to create one-on-one opportunities for Kobe.

In order to open up the space, the Zen master did not hesitate to replace Bynum with Odom, in order to make Anjie and Morris jealous of Odom and Gasol's shooting ability, so as to free up the offensive space on the inside for Kobe.

Although the Lakers' interior defense will be very tight, the Zen master believes that the Thunder's offense will not be able to overshadow Kobe's firepower no matter what.

Anjie is a little overwhelmed right now, and although he trusts his teammate Sephorosa, trust is not enough when facing an opponent like Kobe. It is an indisputable fact that Sefrosa has now been repeatedly broken by Kobe. Anjie must find a way to help defend and make Kobe's offense difficult, and he can't always be led by Phil Jackson.

The players on the pitch were thinking, and Van Gundy off the pitch was even more restless. Two rounds were played in the fourth quarter, and Bryant also won two games in a row in a heads-up with Sephorosa.

And these two defensive failures were caused by Kobe Bryant's breakthrough into the interior line, and Anjie and Morris were too late to make up for the defense. No way, Odom and Gasol's shots are really not covered, and Anjie and Morris can't put these two guys aside.

Fortunately, Anjie and Durant were still able to respond on the offensive end. As for Westbrook, he was completely out of threat by Kobe.

The game was played for four minutes with the back-and-forth scoring of both sides, and although the Thunder still took the lead, Van Gundy was the first to call a timeout. He knows that with the current state of Kobe, the Thunder can't wear down the Lakers!

He must guard Kobe Bryant before the situation changes, otherwise he will not be able to recover the situation if he tries to change it later.

"Zone defense!" Van Gundy threw the word out of his mouth without any foreshadowing.

"Defend the defense, but the Lakers have ...... shooting space like this," Thunder assistant coach Alton was interrupted by Van Gundy as soon as he objected.

'Not everybody is in the defence, we have to combine man-to-man and zone-to-zone. Van Gundy knows that players don't always get used to changing their defensive strategy like this. But for now, it's the only way!

"Ann, I'll leave the area under the basket to you. You should have played this tactic when you were on the Whirlwinds, you're no stranger to it, right?" Van Gundy had studied Ricard's tactics before, as it helped a lot with Anjie and Morris.

"We've fought a few times, but our opponents are different. "Can the NCAA team compare to the Lakers?" Anjie is still a little worried about the feasibility of this tactic.

"As long as you're under the basket, it's fine!Listen, Ann, Morris and Durant, you three defend the zone, Russell and Sephorosa, you continue to mark people!But when the guy you're marking runs to their defensive zone, you just leave it alone and just stare at the one that missed!" Van Gundy began to write and draw on the tactical board, a defensive strategy that is equivalent to a variant of a 2-3 defense, but the two players on the perimeter are a little harder, because they can be said to have to mark both men and areas.

The Thunder team hurried to set up here, but the Zen master on the Lakers side didn't say much. As long as the Lakers continue to play on the triangle offense, they will definitely be able to move back into the situation. The core of this tactic is Kobe, as long as Kobe is okay, the triangle offense is fine.

With a bumpy mood, the Thunder players took to the court. It's not that they don't trust Van Gundy, but they just said that in the face of an opponent of the Lakers' level, they can't be defeated by trust alone.

After the timeout, the Thunder's offense came first, and the air-cut coordination between Anjie and Durant easily tore apart the defense formed by Gasol and Odom. Durant broke through the attraction bag and then hit the ground to Angel who cut inside. In this way, An Jie once again dunked one by one to end the offense.

But the next defensive round is the real test for the Thunder!

When Gasol and Odom pulled out, they found that the Thunder were different! Make sure you don't defend for three seconds and that you don't leave the defensive area of the basket.

"Is that so confident about my shot?" Gasol was about to raise his hand for the ball, only to find Durant in front of him. Although Durant is a small forward, his height and arm span also allow him to not suffer at all in the confrontation with Gasol, at least the passing route was completely blocked by KD.

Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant began to look for Artest, but Artest was targeted by Westbrook. What the hell is this? Is it a man-to-man mark or a joint defense?

Bryant knew he had one more teammate in the open space, but that person was too far away from him to make a mistake with a pass through the crowd.

Thinking of this, Kobe lowered his center of gravity, his feet began to move, and he wanted to play alone!

Sephorosa didn't dare to slack off, even though he knew that Anjie was behind him. But in the face of an attacker like Kobe, you must not give an inch!

Bryant didn't move as fast as he used to, but his experience helped him a lot. Bryant first took a hard step against Sephorosa with his body, and then quickly turned back to shoot. Although Sephorosa was not deceived into jumping, he still shook his center of gravity. Seeing this, Kobe Bryant immediately changed direction and rushed in the direction just now, and Sephorosa reacted quickly and hurried to follow, although he was able to interfere with Kobe Bryant with physical contact, but Kobe Bryant had already rushed up.

Just as Kobe Bryant was getting rid of the Swiss and preparing for a layup, he looked up only to find it pitch black in front of him. In the next second, Kobe Bryant seemed to have knocked down a wall, and due to the huge inertia caused by the breakthrough, he and the wall both fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded.

An Jie had already stood firm under the basket, waiting for Kobe Bryant to come to the door. He didn't add any performance and successfully made Kobe Bryant an offensive foul.

Kobe didn't expect An Jie to come back so quickly, but he didn't know that in fact, An Jie had been wandering around the three-second zone and had never left.

"Hmph, defend with zones?" After only one round, the Zen master saw the change. But he didn't make adjustments, he believed that even Anjie didn't have much to do with the explosive Kobe. After this defeat, Bryant will definitely adjust after that.

However, when Kobe Bryant failed to make a layup in the restricted area for the second time, the Zen master realized that he was wrong.

After the timeout came back, the Lakers' second offense, the ball still hit Kobe Bryant, who was in good shape. Sephorosa is now not afraid of Kobe Bryant's shot, but afraid of Kobe Bryant's breakthrough.

Of course, Kobe Bryant will play as the opponent is afraid of, so he still goes his own way into the penalty area.

This time Kobe Bryant was ready, and he knew that An Jie would definitely appear in that position to stop him. Sure enough, Kobe Bryant just took three steps, and An Jie stood still with both feet, blocking between Kobe and the basket.

Kobe Bryant jumped in the air and prepared to use a pull rod to dodge An Jie's block, but An Jie's defensive range was too large, and Kobe Bryant didn't get a decent opportunity until the end, so he had to make a hasty shot.

This pull-up layup action is very beautiful, but unfortunately under Anjie's defense, Kobe Bryant failed to score the ball.

Once or twice is a coincidence, three or four times is a fact. Kobe Bryant's successive breakthroughs made the Lakers' momentum suddenly stagnate. If it weren't for An Jie's foul, Kobe Bryant wouldn't have been able to even get a point!

If it doesn't work to break through inside, Kobe Bryant chooses to shoot outside. But whether it's a throw-in or a pull-up jumper, the Swiss Sephorosa can always judge the timing of the block. Bryant didn't get blocked once, but his shooting percentage was also a big cut lower than in the third quarter.

Seeing that the score was about to be equalized, he couldn't get over the last hurdle. Kobe Bryant can still score, and his efficiency is not too low. However, with the efforts of Anjie and Seferosa, it will be very difficult for Kobe Bryant to explode like in the third quarter and lead the team to an offensive climax and turn the game around.

Even though Kobe Bryant is incomparably perfect in the hearts of Lakers fans, I have to admit that the Black Mamba lost in the confrontation with An Jie! With An Jie guarding the basket, Kobe's scoring momentum cannot continue. The core endpoint of the triangle offense was simply limited by Van Gundy's "four dislikes" defensive strategy.

However, Kobe Bryant's form is really good, and he can still score some difficult goals, which keeps the Lakers hopeful. But until the last minute of the game, the gap between the two teams was still five points.

At this time, Kobe Bryant was already too tired to do it. But the Zen master can't be replaced, and Kobe Bryant has to stay on the court at this moment. Even if he wants to change, the Lakers management will not be happy with this decision.

Kobe Bryant was effectively contained, but Durant and Anjie were still killing all sides. After Bynum returned, the Lakers' interior defense was indeed much better than when Odom was on the floor. But this can only slow down the speed of the Thunder to open the score, and has no substantial impact on the final result.

The Lakers fans in the stadium were shouting Kobe's name and cheering loudly for their team. If this game is lost, then the Thunder will get match point, and the next game will be played on the Thunder's home court......

Lakers fans don't dare to think about it, they don't want to be the next Nuggets, but their ambitions are eliminated early.

However, the truth is cruel, this is not a computer game, you can read the file and start again. When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Lakers fans knew their dream had been shattered.

104 to 110, the last one who managed to stand alive on the court was the Oklahoma City Thunder!

3-2, which is the aggregate score of both teams now. In a form of optimism, the Lakers actually allowed the Thunder to get a match point.

The next game is at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and only one more win is needed for the Thunder to advance!

Van Gundy himself is very excited, one foot of the Thunder team has stepped into the circle of the Western Conference Finals!

The Thunder, who are in full form, can beat the Lakers even on the road. But how many people still remember that Kobe Bryant is also in very good shape today......

What if Kobe Bryant broke out, Anjie can still win!
