Chapter 190: Undecided?
Olajuwon couldn't help but applaud in front of the TV, he had given this move to many insiders, but only Anjie could use it in official matches, and he did it very beautifully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It would have been more perfect if you had stepped on the pivot foot a little more when you half-turned." Although there are still flaws, Olajuwon is still very pleased.
Bynum isn't a good guy, and if it weren't for Kobe Bryant in the locker room, maybe this guy would have done something.
Being provoked by An Jie like this, Bynum will not sit still. However, An Jie is not afraid of him, because he An Jie is also not a "bad good person".
Dizzy and provoked by Anjie, Bynum couldn't respond immediately in the next attack. It's a pity that this Lakers team can't take his turn to have the final say.
While Sefrosa has worked very hard defensively, Bryant has always been one of the top scorers in the league. He used his quick movement to overtake Sephorosa by half of the body, then suddenly stopped and switched to a back-to-back position, looking for an opportunity in the low post!
Anjie knows what Kobe Bryant wants to do, and the slowly getting older Black Mamba is gradually changing his way of playing. Playing with a low back has become Kobe's usual offensive trick.
Kobe Bryant began to shake his shoulders, and seeing the familiar double shoulder shaking action, An Jie immediately made a decision, secretly pushed Bynum away, and threw himself towards Kobe.
Kobe Bryant quickly turned over and jumped after shaking his shoulders, and An Jie guessed correctly!
Sephorosa reacted quickly, but it was still faster than Kobe's shot. When Bryant threw the basketball out, Sephorosa reached out a big hand behind him.
Bryant's basketball shot past Sephorosa, but not past the Tower of the East.
"Kobe Bryant's shot is very beautiful! It's a pity that An Jie has already seen through his intentions! ”
The fly in the ointment was that the blocked shot still fell into Kobe's hands, and Kobe Bryant chose to break through directly after receiving the ball again. An Jie also quickly adjusted his pace, chased Kobe Bryant to jump, and knocked Kobe to the ground due to inertia.
Kobe Bryant still scored the ball, and the referee didn't blow the foul, because Anjie's hand didn't touch Kobe's cylinder at all.
Although he successfully stopped Kobe's first shot, the person who had the last laugh was the tenacious No. 24.
After An Jie landed, he was about to pull Kobe Bryant up, but Kobe didn't give An Jie a look, and cooperated to hold An Jie's outstretched hand.
Even so, neither Anjie nor Kobe Bryant spoke to anyone, and no one smiled. They had a good relationship in private, but now they were enemies of each other!
"On the court, Anjie and Kobe Bryant don't respect anyone, even if they are friends in private! Because Kobe Bryant and Anjie are both eager to win! "Reggie. Miller can understand the current mood of the two, because he used to have the same attitude towards Jordan.
Bynum was very unhappy with Kobe Bryant's own strong beating, but he couldn't complain. If there is a conflict with Kobe, he will only be the one who leaves.
The aggrieved Bynum naturally sprinkled all his anger on An Jie, so in the next attack, An Jie found that he was receiving more and more small actions behind his back.
Although this made Anjie very uncomfortable when attacking, he also managed to stick Bynum to his side.
Now Bynum only wants to completely prevent An Jie from death, and as for the others, he can rarely take care of it.
After emptying the Lakers' interior defensive pillar, Westbrook and Anjie will be able to play their best roles.
Twice in a row, Anjie sent the ball to Westbrook with precision. In the face of Odom's reinforcement, Westbrook has a hundred ways to avoid the block.
After that, Kobe Bryant wanted to continue to make a fuss in the low post, but in this quarter, under Sefrosa's entanglement and Anjie's timely defense, Kobe's shooting rate was not ideal.
Phil. As promised, Jackson temporarily replaced Kobe, who had a bad hand, to rest. Thunder Sanshao took advantage of this opportunity and gradually took the initiative back.
The game in the second quarter was much more exciting than the first quarter, mainly because the Thunder were able to frequently stage wonderful goals.
After Bynum went off the court, Lakers backup center D.J. Mbenga provided a stage for Anjie to perform.
With beautiful steps and smooth turns, An Jie has given full play to his efforts since the summer.
In the first few games, Anjie still had some reservations, and he played very simplely. But today, Anjie's wonderful performance surprised everyone.
"In today's rampant Fauvist center, An Jie's performance is really pleasing to the eye! A center forward is not something that can be played well without a body, and technique is also crucial for big players! ”
He scored nine points on 3-of-4 shooting and dished out four assists for Durant and Westbrook. An Jie, who was plagued by fouls in the first quarter, staged a perfect return of the king in the second quarter!
With a score of 20-26 and a total score of 52-51, the defending champions did not take advantage of the first half of the game, only leading by one point!
"The Thunder's excellent play is the key to their return to decline, and if you look at the Thunder's score in the third quarter in the three-second zone, the Zen master will definitely miss Gasol right now." Not only Anjie, but Durant and Westbrook also scored a lot of points on the Lakers' interior with breakthroughs.
When Morris is on the inside, the Lakers' defensive pillar can stay under the basket with impunity. But when An Jie entered the restricted area, the situation was different.
That's why Morris can only be a right-hand man, and not be assigned to a one-man role.
Bryant scored 16 points in the first half, which was achieved after he played only a few minutes in the second quarter.
Although An Jie only scored 9 points, all these 9 points came from the second quarter. After a half-court battle, it can be said that neither side was able to stop anyone, and neither could find a way to restrain the other party.
There wasn't much that Zen Master and Van Gundy could do in the dressing room at halftime, and it would take a while for the second half to see how they would win.
So when the two sides came back in the third quarter, the situation still didn't change. Bryant's back-to-back singles repeatedly caused Sephorosa's fouls, and Odom played with ease in both Morris and Ibaka.
Morris has a bit more experience than Ibaka, but his ability can't keep up.
Ibaka has the ability to limit Odom, but his understanding of American basketball is still not thorough.
As for Collison and Kostic, these two interior defensive black holes can't help much.
And the Thunder's offense also made the defending champions unable to think of a countermeasure. Compared to the strength on the offensive end, Odom's performance on the defensive end is not satisfactory.
And today, Durant faced the defender he used to fear the most, but he unexpectedly played very smoothly and efficiently.
His off-ball running is no longer the same as last season's youthfulness, and Durant's off-ball offense has left Artest scratching his head. As long as Durant runs the slightest opportunity, Anjie can pass the ball out in time and accurately to help his teammates score.
If Anjie was like Olajuwon in the second quarter, then Anjie in the third quarter became the gorgeous king Divac again.
In addition to the three less, Seflorosa also stepped up to share some of the scoring pressure. Shot three times, hit a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, and the ball that didn't score was also made up by An Jie, who was stuck in a good position under the basket, when Kobe Bryant's shooting rate was still not good and he could only score points by making fouls, the Thunder team had unknowingly turned the tide!
Bynum had very few shots under Anjie's defense, and he had only hit one shot so far in the third quarter, which was also his only shot.
When Bryant hit 1 of 4 shots again, Bynum finally couldn't hold back.
Seeing that Kobe Bryant was caught in the bag again, Bynum took the initiative to raise his hand to ask for the ball. Bryant also knew that the team was falling behind right now and that he had to move the rest of the team. So he made a ground-hitting pass that sent the basketball between the legs of Durant and Sephorosa and made it safe into Bynum's hands!
From the beginning of the second quarter to the present, Bynum has made 2 of 3 shots, which can be said to be a very good performance. He believes that the reason for his low score is simply because of the small number of shots.
This time in the face of Anjie's singles, Bynum is still full of confidence!
Anjie hurriedly steadied his feet and held the power point of Bynum's waist, although Bynum has excellent physical fitness, his basket skills are also not bad. However, like Bynum, Anjie is also confident in his defense! He only allowed Bynum to score two goals in the front!
Bynum began to exert force, he did not have Anjie's superb footwork and turning, and if he wanted to advance to the basket, he could only play with his back.
With a weight of nearly 130 kilograms, a strong body and immense strength, Anjie was knocked back by Bynum. Anjie's weight almost stopped growing after entering the NBA, because he wanted to maintain his flexibility. Although An Jie's strength is good, the weight disadvantage has not been solved.
It seems that the weight gain plan still has to be picked up and continued.
On the surface, although Bynum successfully advanced one after another, he actually played very hard. An Jie's resistance made him very uncomfortable, and the small actions behind it were no less than his own!
Bryant was out of the bag at this point, and he raised his hand to ask for the ball, hoping that Bynum would return possession. It's just that Bynum, who finally advanced to the three-second zone, how could he give up this opportunity to score so easily.
He chose to ignore Kobe Bryant and forced a turn, ready to attack the frame.
Bynum and An Jie were too close at this time, so the moment Bynum turned around, An Jie saw everything in his hand and slapped the basketball in Bynum's hand.
Just as Westbrook, who picked up the basketball and was about to launch a counterattack, began to pick up speed, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Thunder No. 16, fourth foul!" Suddenly, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was booed.
"Are you kidding me and you!? I'm fucking hitting the ball with my whole hand! "An Jie couldn't bear it, this was obviously a perfect defense.
Bynum high-fived his teammates proudly, no matter how it was judged, as long as it was beneficial to him, he would gladly accept it.
The referee really didn't see the ball clearly, after all, the naked eye is different from the machine, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur. Although it was a misjudgment, the result did not change. After the NBA replay center knew that it was a misjudgment, it did not play the replay on the big screen and in front of the TV to cover up the referee's mistake.
Fortunately, Seflorosa went up to pull An Jie away, and An Jie stopped complaining about the referee. The referee knew that he was at a loss, and he did not punish An Jie for chattering.
Bynum stepped to the free-throw line and the audience booed. The first penalty was too short and missed.
Bryant crossed his waist and shook his head, not going up to high-five Bynum.
The second free throw, which was too heavy, hit the neck of the basket and still failed to hit. An Jie immediately crossed the basket, blocked everyone behind him, and steadily picked up the rebound.
Although the free throws did not allow the Lakers to score, they made An Jie carry the fourth foul, which is very dangerous!
After that, Van Gundy hurriedly took Anjie down and sent Morris up again. Although Anjie was missing, Westbrook and Durant, who were open, still controlled the rhythm on the court.
71-73, this time the lead became the Thunder. Kobe Bryant's 1-of-4 shooting percentage became the main reason why the Lakers fell behind, and if it weren't for Odom's sudden outburst today, the point difference might have been pulled to double digits.
"I can't believe that the Thunder, who finished ninth last season, actually played against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers! After the first few wins, there will be people who will question the strength of the Thunder, but right now, I don't think there will be any opponent who can speak more intently than the Lakers. The Thunder are strong, and that doesn't need to be doubted anymore! ”
That's right, Presti's draft has finally paid off this year, the Thunder are strong, but the Lakers are also strong. The outcome of this game is uncertain.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder and the three young men all sat on the bench, and the Zen master also left Kobe, Odom and others on the court to rest. Now the score is close to a draw, and when these guys are on the pitch, it's time for the two teams to go head-to-head.
Morris and Serge Ibaka played very well against the Lakers' weak second team interior defense. But the Zen master is not in a hurry, after all, the Lakers still have Xiangnong on the outside. Brown, Jordan. Famal et al. are in.
However, Morris and Ibaka are more efficient on the inside than outside shots with a lower shooting percentage.
These two physical, rookies turned the Lakers' interior upside down, but when the Zen master brought Bynum on the court early, the tide turned again.
Bynum's arrival completely cut off the offensive momentum of Morris and Ibaka, and when it comes to this, it makes no sense to keep the second team on the field. Van Gundy waved his hand, five up and five down, and he took the lead in blowing the horn of the decisive battle!
The impatient Bynum still failed to score points on Anjie's head again, and Kobe's three-point shot was still "dangdang". Just when Lakers fans were in despair, outside titan Artest suddenly stood up.
He first hit a three-pointer from the outside that arced flat and looked impossible.
and continued to break through the thin Durant, trying to create An Jie's foul. But fortunately, Kostic helped Anjie carry it, but what didn't change was that Artest got a lot of free throw opportunities.
The Lakers slowly closed the score, and to be exact, the score between the two sides was never stretched.
It wasn't until the last 29 seconds of the game that Durant missed a three-point shot from the perimeter that allowed the Lakers to bite the score. 90-90, the defending champions were dragged into a corner.
At this time, many TV stations gave the number of Kobe Bryant's successful kills at the bottom of the game screen, and there is no doubt that this No. 24 has a super ability to finish the game!
All An Jie can do is to defend the inside line, he can't rush up, everything can only look at Seflorosa.
Sephorosa had a stunner last season and also stopped a striker. He stared at Kobe Bryant fiercely, without fear!
Through Odom's off-ball block, Bryant quickly broke away from the defense and came to the bottom left corner. At this time, Artest made a large-scale transfer, allowing Kobe Bryant to receive the basketball.
After Bryant received the ball, there was endless boos throughout the Chesapeake Energy Arena, hoping to interfere with the cold-blooded killer's play in this way.
In fact, Kobe Bryant turned a deaf ear to these noises, Sephorosa was half a beat slower, and Kobe Bryant calmly shot!
"No, no, no." Seeing that Kobe Bryant was not disturbed too much, An Jie's heart was half cold. He was engrossed in the basketball and ignored his slot.
The basketball bounced on the hoop and flew high again, the second time it fell, the basketball was deflected, and the ball could not have scored!
Just when An Jie was about to scramble for the rebound, he found that Bynum was already in front of him!
"Fatal mistake! Ann let Bynum grab the offensive rebound! "Mike. Brin yelled badly, how could he lose a rebound at a critical moment!
With Bynum's triumphant second jump, he was finally able to raise his eyebrows and finish the game himself!
All the Thunder fans hugged their heads and fought with the defending champions for 48 minutes, only to lose on the inside?
Anjie rarely conceded defensive rebounds, but this was one of the few times it was very deadly.
Seeing the time on the timer gradually getting smaller, seeing the basketball in Bynum's hand getting closer and closer to the basket, the suspense seems to have been killed.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang on the basketball hoop, and Bynum was hanging from the hoop. At this point, the red light on the rebound has come on, and the game is over.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the score on the big screen, because everything that just happened really couldn't make people see the whole process.
Everyone, including the players and referees on the field, was waiting for the replay on the big screen, but An Jie just gritted his teeth and walked to the bench...... (To be continued.) )
