The Taps Center is a star-studded stage, and there is no shortage of stars here, both on and off the field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first three rows of the Lakers' home court are always filled with celebrities or billionaires. David Beckham, hip-hop king, oil tycoon, basketball court celebrity...... Here, you can never think of yourself as a star, because the guy who is more famous and richer than you may sit next to you.

Watching the game in this environment is also the happiest for Giardina. Because only in this group of big names will people not ask her for autographs. After all, compared to others, Giardina is still too shallow in terms of reputation and qualifications. Her arrival will not make any waves at the Staples Center.

From the moment he sat down, Giardina, who could watch the game with peace of mind, never left the Thunder's tall No. 16 center. Most of the people who come here are here to see Kobe. But Giardina is different, she's a Thunder fan!

From the warm-up to the end of the game, Giardina did not let go of any picture of Anjie. While everyone was cheering for Kobe Bryant's warm-up, only Giardina had his eyes on the Thunder's warm-up half.

An Jie had actually seen the arrival of the girl in the warm-up process, but this was a crucial match, so he didn't say hello to Giardina, all so that he didn't have to be distracted.

Putting all your heart and soul into the game is the only thing AnJie wants to do at the moment.

But after the victory in the last game, the Lakers will definitely strengthen their defense on the inside, because because of your relationship with Westbrook, their defensive lineup will inevitably shrink to the basket. That's where Sephorosa and Durant come in, and you did a great job in training yesterday and I hope your form will continue to this day. Van Gundy knows Westbrook and Anjie won't have it easy to score today, and Durant has to take on the responsibility of being the heart of the team.

"Pass the ball and I'm not going to miss it today. Durant patted Anjie and Westbrook on the back, and when he just warmed up, Durant also felt that there was nothing wrong with his hand.

"Also, Morris and Ann, watch out for the number of fouls. The Lakers' triangle offense will have you face players from the outside many times, and although they were pressed and played in the last game, they didn't play that characteristic, but today, we still can't take it lightly. Van Gundy is not worried about Gasol and Bynum at all right now, and the person he fears the most is Kobe.

On the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson didn't say much. He had already arranged it yesterday and had the players rehearse it. These guys aren't rookies anymore, they're part of a championship team and they know how to read the game and how to change the situation.

The only thing worth worrying about him is Kobe's play. If the Purple and Gold are in good shape, the Lakers will be outstanding. If the Purple and Gold team leaders don't play well, the Lakers' performance will also be greatly affected.

As the minutes ticked by, the starters on both sides also took off their training uniforms and stood in two different halves.

Fischer, Kobe, Artest, Gasol and Bynum, the Lakers' triangle remains.

Westbrook, Sephorosa, Durant, Morris and Anjie, the Thunder's three young men are also eager to try.

Everyone is staring at their opponents, and the last game has brought these two groups to a bond. They are all waiting for the moment when the whistle blows, using the most brutal and effective means to strangle their opponents.

The referee also stopped the conversation between Anjie and Bynum before throwing the ball. Before the game even started, the mouths of these two guys started fighting.

At the beginning of the game, it was still An Jie who got the basketball first.

After a day of adjustments, the Los Angeles Lakers are sure to be very different. One day, for a team of the Lakers' level, is completely enough to refresh them.

The Thunder's first offense hit a wall in Westbrook's breakaway failure.

The Lakers' defensive position shrank very sharply as Van Gundy expected, and its purpose was to stifle Westbrook's impact and Anjie's inside single.

When Westbrook borrowed Anjie's pick-and-roll breakaway, he realized that he was literally sticking into the pile.

As soon as one foot stepped into the three-second zone, three or four arms swiped in front of Westbrook's eyes. Looking back, the route of the ball was also sealed. Westbrook had no choice but to resist the interference of Fischer and Artest, and the result was known.

After winning the ball, the Lakers were still controlled by Fischer, and when Bryant ran to the designated place, he did not hesitate to pass the ball.

As soon as Kobe Bryant caught the ball, the Staples Center seemed to be ignited, and the cheers immediately doubled.

Giardina was mixed in with this group of crazy cheerers, but he was cheering for An Jie in his heart.

Bryant held Seflorosa with one hand and slapped the ball cautiously with the other. Suddenly, with an acceleration, Bryant shook off Sephorosa one step away.

For a scorer like Kobe, one step is enough distance for him to punch and kick. Seeing that the Swiss were catching up, Kobe suddenly stopped and turned around, and Sephorosa immediately braked and jumped to block when he saw this.

Unexpectedly, Kobe's "turn" was just a shoulder shake. Bryant easily deceived Sephorosa and made a turnaround jumper.

After the goal, Kobe Bryant shook his head to the rhythm of the fans' cheers, and he was in just the right shape in this game!

However, just a few tens of seconds later, Durant regained confidence with a precise shot from beyond the three-point line. The Lakers' shrinking defense allows Durant to calmly complete the shot, what if the Black Mamba is in good shape, and the state of our scoring champion is also not bad!

After that, the Thunder and the Lakers went back and forth, and the game was inseparable. It is true that Kobe Bryant and Durant are in better shape, but with the full defense of both sides, the offensive pressure of other players has become greater than in the last game. Therefore, the performance of others is simply a copy of Kobe Bryant and Durant the day before yesterday!

On the Lakers' side, only Kobe Bryant and Gasol played normally. And the Thunder, Westbrook's breakaway is useless right now, and Sefrossa's shot isn't on target today. With such a tight contraction defense, the big bulls, who are not good at attacking, have no way to start.

The Thunder, now only Anjie and Durant, can still provoke the beams.

In this case, the managers of both sides will definitely let their players on the bench come on early, so as not to waste opportunities for players who are not in good form.

However, what Van Gundy and Phil Jackson didn't expect was that the players on their bench did not perform as well as they wanted. At most, it can only be regarded as decent.

In fact, the reason for this situation is not because other people are not in good shape, but because other people are really difficult to make a difference in this kind of ultra-high-intensity defense. It can be seen that both managers have put a lot of thought into defending.

The first quarter of the game also ended for 12 minutes in this situation of opening high and going low, 22-26, and the Thunder temporarily trailed the Lakers by four points.

After seeing the Thunder's prowess, Los Angeles fans weren't going to be cheering for the four-point advantage at all. They haven't forgotten that in the last game, the Lakers took multiple leads, but ultimately lost. Against the Thunder, a four-point advantage is far from enough!

During the break, Spike Lee raised the camera and frantically filmed all the pictures of Kobe Bryant off the court. He is working hard for Kobe's next documentary. And the playoffs can highlight one of the most real Kobes.

Although Spike Lee is a die-hard fan of the New York Knicks, that hasn't stopped him from admiring Kobe. In addition to this, all the stars turned into ordinary fans at this moment, and they shouted wildly, stomping their feet. In Staples, no matter how big your name is, you can only be reduced to a supporting role. Because the owner here is the guy who wears the No. 24 uniform.

Distraught by the cacophony of the environment, Giardina has become an outlier in the audience. She was cheering when everyone else was sighing. While others were cheering, she looked sullen.

Kobe's performance in the first quarter was really good, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, allowing him to make up for the low shooting percentage of his teammates. But now you can't see a smile on Kobe's face, because Durant and Anjie also scored eight points each in a single quarter.

The game entered the second quarter, and the situation did not change in the slightest. Artest and Fischer got a couple of open shots, and Bryant shared the ball in time. However, these two guys' open shots are all out of the box, and although Fischer has become well-oiled, under the high-intensity defense, his offense is no better than it was back then.

Westbrook saw that he couldn't break through the Lakers' impregnable defense, and he also put his shot on the outside. However, if you can't score on the inside, it's not easy to shoot on the outside.

Fischer is afraid of Westbrook's breakthrough, but he is not afraid of his shot. This experienced guy knows when it's best to interfere with shots.

In the second quarter, the Lakers and Thunder tried to enrich their offense, but all failed. It wasn't until Durant hit a mid-range shot after receiving Anjie's pass that the scoring drought between the two sides was finally broken.

It seems that the next game will not be too different from the first quarter.

After Durant opened, Anjie also began to chisel inside according to Van Gundy's arrangement. I have to say that Morris's containment ability is getting stronger and stronger now, and when he is there, Anjie can generally calmly play alone with Bynum. Gasol on the side wanted to come over to protect the box, but Morris often didn't let him get his way.

With Morris's efforts, the Lakers' twin towers were simply torn apart into two separate parts. Gasol and Bynum simply can't look after each other on the defensive end.

If it weren't for the Lakers' overall lineup shrinking too much, Anjie would have more offensive opportunities.

At 55-53, the leading team at the end of the second quarter became the Thunder, but the advantage was only two points.

At half-time, Van Gundy and the Zen Master were talking a lot in the dressing room. However, the effectiveness of the tactics depends on the execution and performance of the players. In this regard, the manager can do nothing.

In the third quarter, Van Gundy drew a lot of tactics for the rest of the Thunder, but it didn't work out as well. He knows that it will be difficult to win with Agile and Durant alone, and it has been proven that the Thunder's offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced when both of them are gone.

But what Van Gundy didn't expect was that the Lakers' side still hadn't adjusted. With the exception of Shannon Brown's hand, which picked up slightly, the others still entertained the fans with a symphony of striking iron.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the situation of this game will not change much. As expected. Until the last minute of the game, the rhythm was the same as in the first quarter.

Bynum had more shots today than in the previous game, but he couldn't take them. Under Anjie's defense, he only hit 3 of 10 shots, which is absolutely unqualified even if it is placed on an outside player, not to mention that Bynum is an offensive center.

Even Bynum's hit rate has become like this, let alone the others. Sephorosa made 2 of 7 shots and Odom made 2 of 9 shots...... This game really promoted personal heroism.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol's singles are the Lakers' most efficient way to score, while the singles of Durant and Anjie on the other side have the same effect for the Thunder.

With 45 seconds left, Durant missed a mid-range shot. But at this moment, the Thunder still have a two-point lead, 93-91.

In 30 seconds, Kobe's breakthrough caused An Jie's third personal foul. But the Black Mamba, who stood at the free throw line, made a rare turnover, hitting only one of the two free throws, 93-92, and the Lakers still trailed the opponent by one point.

For 20 seconds, Anjie sat in the penalty area and wrestled with Bynum. A game full of setbacks had left Bynum with no confidence, and Anjie easily hit the black guy on the head, and the Thunder once again extended the deficit to three points.

The Staples Center is dead dead at the moment, and even if Kobe Bryant can hit it for the last offense, the Lakers will have to play overtime with the Thunder. However, Kobe, whose physical strength has declined and his shooting percentage has been unstable, may not be able to pull the Lakers back from the edge of the cliff.

Is it really going to happen? The rare Purple and Gold Army will lose two games in a row on their home turf?

Truth be told, a lot of people gave up, including Bynum, including Odom, including the groups of Lakers fans who left the game early.

But Kobe Bryant didn't, he still had a focused look in his eyes. The black mamba's fangs are about to inject deadly venom into the Thunder team at this moment...... (To be continued.) )
