If it had been placed in the past, Van Gundy would have reminded himself at half-time not to take his players lightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But now, he's not worried about that. This group of lads can fight like this today precisely because they have a proper attitude.

Looking at the calm and serious expressions of the players, Van Gundy knew that there should be no major problems in the second half. The difference of 13 points is not particularly large, but it does not mean that you can chase it. Unless Kobe Bryant or the rest of the Lakers explodes, it will be very difficult for the Thunder to fill the gap with their current state.

Yes, Van Gundy's idea also includes an unless. That said, he admits that the Lakers still have a way to turn the situation around. It's just that the probability of this happening is not high.

The fans at the Staples Center were still dead in the second half, and they didn't see any hope for the game for half play. After so many years of O'Neill's absence, this was their most glorious period. But if you want to lose the championship like this, Los Angeles fans will still feel unwilling.

The fans couldn't accept the result, and the paranoid Kobe Bryant wouldn't let that happen! In the first half, he was defended by Sephorosa without a temper, which even he himself could not forgive. Kobe Bryant had already held his breath and was ready to vent it all in the second half!

Don't forget, Kobe Bryant is no ordinary guy. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most successful NBA player after Jordan, the most successful here refers not only to his skills, but also to the commercial value, as well as the super appeal, and the extremely strong heart!

Since today is the Lakers' first offense, after the start of the third quarter, the first offensive with the ball is still the Thunder.

The third line broke out, which is why the Thunder were able to beat the Lakers today. This time, Westbrook's possession of the ball was noticeably more confident. He knows that even if he doesn't have a chance, his teammates will help him find it.

The person who was about to cross in front of Westbrook was Fischer, but Kobe Bryant waved his hand and signaled that he and Fischer would switch places!

Although Sephorosa is really good defensively, it is much inferior in attack. Relying on Fischer, it should be enough to defend the Thunder's No. 2 position.

But Westbrook can only rely on Kobe Bryant to defend!

Westbrook didn't dare to slack off, lowering his center of gravity and constantly changing the ball handler. At the same time, Anjie's block came up, and Durant also started to run under Morris's off-ball block.

Westbrook took a step back, which had become a habitual move on his way to break through.

"Whoosh!" Westbrook's breakthrough was still lightning fast, but in the eyes of the strong-willed Kobe, the ball was not unguardable.

Westbrook had just started and before he could get around Anjie's pick-and-roll, he found himself out of control of the basketball.

"What!?" Westbrook turned around in disbelief, only to find that the ball had already been taken away by Kobe! Because Westbrook's breakthrough speed was so fast, Kobe Bryant couldn't cut the basketball accurately. Therefore, the ball is not only out of Westbrook's control, but also out of Kobe's control.

The basketball quickly rolled towards the other half, and the offensive and defensive transitions were suddenly formed, and all ten people on the court ran in the direction of the ball, and Kobe and Westbrook naturally rushed to the front.

Both men know that falling to the ground and pounce on the ball in such a situation is almost the only way to control the ball. Bryant and Westbrook lunged at the ball at the same time, like two lions that had spotted their prey.

Kobe Bryant hugged the basketball one second ahead of Westbrook, and Westbrook was naturally unwilling, and hugged the basketball that had been hidden in Kobe's arms with both hands. After that, the rest of the two teams also surrounded him, and Kobe Bryant was surrounded by a large group of people in the middle, some were protecting him, and some were grabbing the ball with him. But Kobe Bryant kept holding the basketball tightly and never let go!

"Toot toot!" the referee's whistle finally sounded, and it wasn't who fouled, but a scrum!

Kobe Bryant stood up with the ball in his arms and didn't say anything. He's not going to waste words with the referee now, but instead staring at Westbrook and staring at Westbrook's hair.

The two groups immediately stood at the free-throw line, with Bryant and Westbrook standing in the center. Kobe Bryant's down-and-down save has earned him the applause of the entire Staples. Now, the cheers continue to intensify.

Westbrook doesn't have the slightest experience with the jump ball, while Kobe Bryant is different. Although he is also a defender, his experience is more than a notch higher than Westbrook's.

Seeing that the referee was about to throw the ball, Bryant jumped up. Strictly speaking, this is a violation of the jump ball, but with the naked eye, it is impossible to see that Kobe Bryant jumped so many tenths of a second early. But this is just a few tenths of a second, but it can help Kobe, who is not dominant in bounce, to fight for the ball.

The ball fell into Odom's hands, and Odom immediately shifted to allow Fischer, who was in the open position, to get the basketball.

Although there are no Lakers players under the basket at the moment, the "old fish" can't let this opportunity go in vain. He raised his hand to shoot, and even if the Lakers didn't have a chance to grab a rebound in the frontcourt, he had to do it.

However, Fischer proved to be a little over-concerned, and he hit a hollow three-point shot from the bottom corner. Although it was Fischer who scored the goal, the Lakers would not have even gotten a chance without Kobe's desperate defense and savings.

Staples fans seem to see hope, and yes, Kobe Bryant is their hope!

The "Defense!Defense!Defense!" goal rekindled the excitement of the Staples Center fans, who shouted to the beat of the live DJ for the rest of the defensive round.

Under the enthusiastic shouts of the fans, the Lakers players themselves are also full of strength and confidence. How many men would be indifferent to such shouts?

Bynum didn't play badly in the first half, but now, he burst out with more power. Anjie is under Bynum's close defense, and it is very difficult to run tactics.

Under Bynum's entanglement, Anjie's blocking and dismantling has never been able to reach a satisfactory state. Westbrook can't waste any time, and staying in front of Kobe Bryant for one more second means one more danger.

Before Anjie's blocking was fully in place, Westbrook started impatiently. In this way, it is naturally impossible to completely get rid of Kobe's defense.

Seeing that there was a gap in the inner line, Westbrook began to accelerate and jump!

Watching the basket get closer to him, Westbrook smiled in the air. His tense body was completely stretched, and if this dunk was completed, it would definitely be a strong sink!

"Bang!" the basket made a loud noise as expected, but the basketball was unexpectedly not dunked into the basket. Kobe Bryant kept close to Westbrook's back and blocked the dunk of this zero guard!

Bryant pointed at Westbrook and put his index finger to his lips. This guy's vicious expression greatly increased his deterrent power!

Gasol immediately hugged Kobe from behind, and the Spaniard was so excited that he couldn't think of any other way to celebrate his defensive success than hugging him hard.

Kobe's role is not just to complete a block, the Thunder's first defeat to the Lakers was because Kobe Bryant hit a whistle ball to equalize the score, thus dragging the game into overtime and crushing the morale of the Thunder!

This block has exactly the same effect as the whistle ball! It not only prevented the Thunder from scoring, but also greatly reduced the Thunder's spirit.

The psychological advantage that the Thunder had built up in the first half was wiped out by two successful defenses by Bryant.

Anjie then sent the ball from the baseline, but Westbrook, whose confidence was hit, couldn't hit the ball. Thanks to Kobe's presence, the Lakers once again resisted the Thunder's frenzied offense!

After that, Bryant himself scored a three-pointer on Seflorosa's head. This goal not only narrowed the gap between the two teams to single digits, but also forced Van Gundy to call a timeout.

Now that Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are gaining momentum, he has to interrupt that momentum. It can be seen that Westbrook's psychology has been greatly affected, and Van Gundy intends to replace him with Livingston for the time being, and everything else is business as usual.

However, a brief timeout did not interrupt Bryant's explosive momentum.

The difference of 13 points is not particularly large, but it does not mean that you can chase it. Unless Kobe Bryant or the rest of the Lakers explodes. Van Gundy still remembers his thoughts in the locker room, but this unexpectedly became a reality!

Kobe Bryant's performance after returning from a timeout was still eye-catching, his offense was almost unstoppable, and the only way to stop him from scoring was to foul him!

There is no problem with the Thunder's offense, but compared with Kobe's unusually fierce firepower, the difference between the Thunder and the Lakers is gradually shortening!

An Jie has been panting by Kobe's breakthrough, but Kobe, who is 32 years old, has not slowed down in the slightest. Now Anjie wants to participate in the defense of Kobe, and it is becoming more and more difficult.

After Kobe Bryant broke into the interior line, he didn't have a hard time with An Jie, he stopped the jump shot, threw the shot, broke through the ball, as long as there was an opportunity to score easily, Kobe Bryant would never use a more difficult method.

Without Westbrook's Thunder, the defensive pressure on the offensive end is naturally much greater. Westbrook can force the Lakers to shrink, but Livingston cannot.

The third line erupts, and you have to let the points of the third line be present!

Until the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant still failed to help the Lakers equalize, but the difference was chased to only 4 points!

If it weren't for the Thunder's still brave state, the Lakers would have turned the tables a long time ago!

Van Gundy's fears were fulfilled, but he was not happy at all. Kobe Bryant, this man was cornered. At this time, he is the most dangerous!

The game that had lost suspense became exciting again, but everyone on the Thunder team wished that the game had been so boring. God knows what else Kobe Bryant could do in the fourth quarter, it's not scary to meet the defending champion, but it's damn to meet Kobe!

An Jie was sweating profusely, and his headband was soaked again. Sure enough, there are no easy games to play in the playoffs!
