Russell Westbrook has been criticized by major media since he entered the league as the team's cancer, playing style problems, etc., but he overcame everything with his own will, and finally chose loyalty without hesitation between loyalty and honor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even if I don't have a crown in my life, then I will be the king of the uncrowned.

Russell Westbrook is physically energetic, and his style of play is even more explosive, even beyond his physical limits.

He was praised by Kobe Bryant as the most personal person in the league today.

As long as the moment he stepped on the court, until the last second, he burned his will and did not give in to everything in front of him. Whether the team is 20 points ahead or the team is 20 points behind, the only goal in his eyes is to destroy the opponent standing in front of him.

With the departure of Kevin Durant this season, Russell Westbrook is firmly in the top seat of the Thunder. Everyone thought it would be a season of Westbrook's explosion, and he would be another lone hero in the league after Kobe.

Westbrook lived up to the expectations of the team and the outside world, leading the Thunder to victory in both games, and a super triple-double in the second.

In the face of the Lakers who are challenging today, Westbrook will naturally not relax, vowing to include three consecutive wins.

The Lakers' opening season performance was eye-catching, and it can be said that it hit countless people with a loud mouth. Everyone thought the Lakers would still be the league's top team this season, and they were strong contenders for the top pick in the 2017 draft, but the Lakers beat the Rockets and Jazz in two consecutive games. also won two in a row, so in today's game against the Thunder, the Lakers boys are also full of confidence to win three in a row.

You must know how much a three-game winning streak has been a luxury for the Lakers in recent years. The team's last three-game winning streak was back in the season when Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon, and that season was also an eternal pain for the Lakers, an accident that destroyed their heroic career. led to Kobe Bryant's eventual retirement in this way.

The two sides continued their starting lineups, with D'Angelo Russell, Nick Young, Ruhr Deng, Randle and Mozgov on the Lakers' side.

The Thunder's starters were Westbrook, Oladipo, Robertson, Sabonis and Adams.

Sabonis is a rookie in the same class as Zhao Wei, and it was a surprise to many to be able to start this season just after joining the Thunder.

Oladipo was traded by the Thunder from the Magic with Ibaka, and Oladipo was also expected to be called Wade Jr. before he entered the draft, but the Magic did not meet the expectations of the management in the past few years, and he was eventually traded.

Oladipo, who came to the Thunder, has repeatedly spoken to build the strongest backcourt in the league with Westbrook. After two games, Oladipo's performance is also remarkable.

The referee blew the whistle and the match began, with Mozgov losing the upper hand in a scrum with Adams.

Adams' 13-year rookie was a mediocre draft pick at the beginning, but he made great contributions to the Thunder in the playoffs and the Spurs and the Warriors last season, and he faintly has a tendency to sprint to the league's No. 1 interior line.

Westbrook, who has been the leader this season, has a lot of rights on the field.

Won the ball and handed it over to Westbrook as soon as possible.

Luke Wharton didn't put Clarkson to defend Westbrook as he did when Byron Scott was there. He still arranged for Russell, and this kind of challenge, taking advantage of it would be a huge improvement for Russell.

Russell also knew Luke Wharton's intentions, and his expression was extremely serious, and he began to follow Westbrook from halftime.

Westbrook has a serious face, round eyes, and a magnificent momentum, often facing opponents in position, and has already lost first in momentum, and his confidence begins to waver.

Russell was okay and didn't waver, still staring at Westbrook.

Westbrook dribbled the ball twice at the top of the arc, watched his teammates move, and suddenly accelerated, and his body shot out like an arrow from a string. It's as fast as a strong wind.

Even though Russell knew that he was going here, he tried his best to catch up, but he was still stuck behind by Westbrook in one step.

With a big stride, the backfield defense line was torn apart in an instant, and Mozgov hurriedly made up for it. But in this way, the Adams he defended was empty.

Westbrook glared at Mozgov without squinting, but if you think that Westbrook is still the reckless man who broke through the brain a few years ago, then you are very wrong.

In the playoffs against the Spurs last season, Westbrook woke up as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and he had a perfect grasp of the balance between points, offense and assists. And this season, Westbrook also knows what it takes to really lead a team that has been hit hard out of the difficult situation. Just look at the assists in the first two games.

With a flick of his wrist, Mozgov realized, but his heart was not enough, and he watched the ball pass between his legs, and a roar came from behind him.

Adams seemed to already know that Westbrook was going to give him the ball, and when he received it, he was unguarded and didn't abuse the basket. Clasp your hands angrily!

However, the Lakers' lads started the game no further. Russell controlled the ball, and Nick Young used his teammates on the baseline to block and cooperate continuously.

Ran out of the open space, the man arrived at the ball, and shot a three-point shot.

Facing the young Lakers, the Thunder had no intention of slowing down at all.

Robertson quickly sent the ball in the backcourt, and Westbrook beat the Lakers with a late retreat, and successively changed direction past the person who wanted to slow him down, and a one-handed slam dunk, answerball!!

4:3！

Westbrook's raid also shocked the Lakers boys in a cold sweat. Remind them that they are facing the closest man in the league to Kobe, one of today's hottest superstars.

In the face of such people, if you dare to be careless, then you will die without a place to bury.

Westbrook started the game by teaching the Lakers a lesson.

The spirit is more focused, and the Lakers' defense has improved a lot. Westbrook also continued the strategy of the previous two games, except for that dunk, he did not shoot again, mainly making wedding dresses for his teammates and sorting out the team's offense.

The two sides are locked in a fight. The Lakers rely on the strength of the team, and everyone is a soldier and full of confidence.

On the Thunder's side, Oladipo and Adams carried the offensive banner and felt hot.

However, the score between the two sides did not stretch, and the Thunder were only three points ahead of the Lakers.

At this time, Westbrook was still calm and calm, and he was not in a hurry to make a move. It seems that Westbrook has really matured, and not like some people deliberately hack him, he doesn't attack just to brush up his assist stats.

Consecutive breakaways, the ball went to Roberson. Robertson was open and unguarded. Even if Robertson isn't known for his shooting, if you don't shoot in the NBA, it will be a big blow to your future and the trust of your teammates in the team.

Helpless to shoot, the arc of the ball is very high, but the trajectory is too weird, the ball can touch a little basket, almost three without touching.

Ay!

The commentators at the Thunder's home court couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "Robertson's three-point shot is still like that, if there are three points, Robertson's growth will be the speed of a triple jump." "There's nothing to say now, so the narrator has to imagine the future.

Actually, it's not that Robertson has nothing to say about this player. Robertson's shooting is not his forte, but his defense is excellent, with long arms, talent and hard work. The reason why the Thunder kept him was also because of his defensive ability. However, now that the two teams are fighting against each other, his defense looks a little chicken.

The ball grazed the basket and fell, landing right in Russell's hands.

Get the rebound and start a counterattack right away.

Taking a step inside the three-point line, Russell suddenly came with two dribbles behind his back, and the movements were smooth, causing the commentator to exclaim, and suddenly stepped back and withdrew outside the three-point line.

Raise his hand to shoot his shot, even if Russell's small jump is not high, but his shot is very fast, which can well avoid the opponent's block.

Hollow into the net, huh! The crisp and pleasant sound of wiping the net.

The two sides were drawn.

Westbrook's eyes narrowly condensed, and he glanced at his teammates. Although I tried my best to play for my teammates before, my teammates didn't feel very good since the opening.

At the same time, there is one thing that Westbrook is most worried about, that is, when he leaves the rest of the game, after Kevin Durant left, the biggest problem that the Thunder has exposed so far is the lack of depth in the team.

Westbrook's departure will result in a significant reduction in the team's movement and the offense that really threatens the opposition, while the Lakers, who have won their previous two games, have been largely due to their bench lineup.

Thinking of this, Westbrook's eyes changed, although they were still sharp, but they were sharp, and they were less restrained in the opening.

Looking at each other, Russell couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Westbrook's eyes. There was a slight hesitation in his heart, but it was a slight wavering.

Russell was in the previous confrontation with Westbrook, although he exposed his lack of athleticism, Westbrook did not attack the basket much, and Russell's offensive performance was also remarkable, so the disadvantage was not big.

crossover！

Although Westbrook's dribbling is not as graceful as some stars such as Kobe and Wade, his speed is not slow at all.

One step into the basket, facing Mozgov, who came from the defense, Westbrook did not pass the ball again this time.

But Mozgov doesn't think so, Westbrook has given it to his teammates every time he hits the inside, so his defense is not so resolute.

By the time he realized that Westbrook was going to make a layup, it was too late.

He tried to spread his arms as far as he could, but Westbrook's jump was too high, and he reached under Mozgov's armpit and scored a basket.

Westbrook scored so easily that the Lakers boys couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Mozgov dropped the ball at random, but before Russell could catch the basketball, a figure suddenly stabbed out.

The basketball was snatched in an instant.

If you look closely, the person who made the steal is none other than Westbrook.

Westbrook grabbed the ball and didn't go straight to the basket, because there were Mozgov and Russell under the basket at this time.

Westbrook chose to go to the baseline, and when Russell and Mozgov were attracted to their eyes, Westbrook suddenly flicked his arm, and the ball flew past Russell's body.

Robertson followed in the back row. The moment he received the ball, he took a leap forward.

Stretching his body and pulling the bar with one arm, even though Mozgov was guarding the basket, Roberson was already fully jumping.

Slam dunk successfully.

The margin came to four points.

But Westbrook has completely exploded, and it doesn't mean that if you hold it, you can hold it immediately.

With two consecutive goals, the Thunder rose up and the defensive intensity suddenly increased. Westbrook, in particular, put a lot of pressure on the ball.

The physical confrontation against Russell was very big, and Russell was tough enough to go to the bottom line, at this time, Oladipo, who was defending Nick Young, suddenly wanted to flank him, and Russell reacted quickly enough.

A beautiful backdribble dodged Oladipo's steal and was followed by a crossover, a body bow, trying to force his way between the two.

However, it was also at this time that although Russell had passed, his problems were still exposed, and his center of gravity was high.

Westbrook saw his chance and cut off Russell's ball.

Defend and counterattack, ride the dust, and make a layup.

With a six-point difference, Westbrook doesn't plan to give up.

Russell can also be regarded as making up for it, this time the much more cautious Russell dribbled past the half, beckoned, Mozgov's blocking, caught the opportunity that Adams did not dare to save, made a decisive shot, and hit the three-point again.

But that's what superstars are terrible.

was beaten by a newcomer, how could he not return it.

In the face of Russell's defense, Westbrook, who received the ball, didn't even feint, pulled out his hand, stood up to Russell's defense, and scored three points. answerball！！！

At this time, perhaps only Russell on the court can most deeply feel the words of Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks.

Westbrook is hanging in mid-air to shoot, let's how to defend.

Although Russell is 196cm tall, he can't even reach Westbrook's wrist just now.

In the face of the Thunder's bombardment and muscular defense, the Lakers' hand quickly declined, and Nick Young did not hit again except for the first three-pointer in the opening game, while the veteran Ruhr Deng has shot 0 of 3 so far and scored zero points.

If it continues like this, the Thunder could knock the Lakers down in the first quarter, and the whole game will become garbage time.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for Luke Walton to allow him to appear on the Lakers. What he has instilled from beginning to end is the spirit of the bright sword, even if we are defeated, we must show the sword, and we must fight until the last second.

Six minutes have passed.

Luke Wharton immediately called a timeout to rearrange the team's offensive tactics. And sent Williams on the field to replace Ruhr Deng.

With Williams' height on the spot, it was impossible for him to play small forward, so Nick Young took the small forward position.

When the game restarted, everyone noticed the change in the Lakers, and it was no longer Russell who started to control the ball from the backcourt, but their power forward Randle.

At this time, the on-site commentator said puzzled and worried: "Luke Walton's arrangement is really unexpected, but I don't know if he is ready to give up this game directly." He even arranged a reckless player like Randle to organize the team's offense. Randle's breakthrough last season was nothing short of bulldozer, and turning corners was a luxury for him. And when he receives the ball, he only has the basket in his eyes. However, this way we can take an early break. ”

The narrator gloated at Randall's sarcastic.

Randle possessed the ball from the back, while the man who defended him was Sabonis. It would be too difficult for a player like Sabonis to defend Randle from the back.

Sabonis has some three-point shooting ability, but he is still the traditional power forward.

So Randle went all the way until he got to the frontcourt.

In front of Sabonis who was confident and confident in his dribble.

The continuous shaking in front of him, he suddenly lowered his head and pierced the inner line.

At this time, the on-site commentator immediately let out a mocking laugh: "Haha, Randall's brute bull is here to open the way." ”

But immediately there was a loud slap on the scene, straight to the bottom of my heart, hot.

Randle hit the inside, and it was already in the range of his shot, but Randle didn't blindly force the shot, but suddenly gave the ball to the outside.

Lu Williams catches the ball from outside the three-point line and comes with his hands up.

Bang!

The strength was great, but the ball didn't go in, but the opportunity was played.

When Williams came up, the Lakers' outside rotation was noticeably better, and Westbrook didn't continue to attack as easily.

Of course, this is also related to his physical strength, such a high-intensity attack and defense, even if it is a turtle, he has times when his physical strength is exhausted. You must know that a game of 48 minutes has 82 regular season games in a season.

Maintaining physical strength is also a very important thing for every NBA player.

Without Westbrook's offense, although with his organization, for the Lakers, the pressure is greatly reduced.

Oladipo and Adams are less efficient in attack, but they are also impressive, with the margin between the two sides remaining around 10.

There was less and less time in the first quarter. (To be continued.) )
