However, Durant's side will not be majestic for long. Because after the Lakers were dismantled by the opponent's personal ability to dismantle the BoxAnd1 defensive tactics, they suddenly changed their defense in the next round and directly took a high delay against Durant. Durant still wanted to rely on his personal ability to dribble the ball, but he only ran a few steps, and as soon as he entered the three-point line, he was suddenly sandwiched by the Lakers. Durant hurried out the ball, but was seen through by the Lakers' Rondo and broke it off, and the Lakers counterattacked.

Tang Qian attacked inside, causing Adams to foul for the fourth time, making 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.

Durant holds the ball, the Lakers are delayed this time, and the Lakers' defensive focus has changed from Wei Shao to Durant, Durant is strong and brushes ~ hit. This ball is really difficult, but it's a pity that Durant is tall and has long arms, and he pulls out his hand, which is simply an unreasonable offense. In terms of shot space, Durant doesn't need anything.

He just pulls it out.

This is a natural advantage.

It doesn't matter, the Lakers are just spending money with Durant to see who collapses first. Tang Qian's basket was shot in a hurry, and Wei Shao suddenly gave it to Durant, who gave Durant a "big loop" and won a free throw opportunity. 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. The score difference was very bad, but the Lakers did not panic, they were waiting for the Thunder to have problems and mistakes first.

This is also the longest thing that many teams have done when they have reached a stalemate with the Thunder.

The Thunder team can't hold his breath, and many times even if it's a good situation, he can give Huo Huo away.

Sure enough, this game was the same, much the same, with the increase in turnovers, the Lakers began to slowly gain the upper hand, but this wanted to beat the opponent or almost did it. The Thunder team is estimated to have long been accustomed to opponents using mistakes to counterattack, so they are not flustered, quite calm, and Durant forcibly continued his life. Lost several very difficult long shots into it.

That's the kind of ball you can't defend, it's not that you don't defend well, or you are just scored by the opponent.

After Durant was silent for 2 games, this game finally broke out in a small wave, and he dragged the Lakers alone, so that the score difference could not be opened for a long time, and it has been staggered. This is the power of the giant planet. Sure enough, it's simple and crude. In other words, the giant planet was originally a tactic. Larry. Brown brought Covington on and replaced Ariza with Covington for the No. 3 spot.

Small forward, the opposite position, is naturally Durant.

Larry. Brown had only one request for Covington, to wear down the opponent desperately and make the opponent lose his magic in the fourth quarter.

Because Durant's physical fitness has not been very good, his career is basically out of the defensive lineup. And his chain loss in the playoffs is very serious, not a mentality problem. More often than not, it's just that he doesn't have enough energy and is tired. There are too many such examples. For example, in 2010, G1 faced the Lakers in the fourth quarter with a shooting rate of 28.6%. G2 shot 2-of-6 in the fourth quarter and shot 33.3 percent. 6 eliminations, 3 of 12 shots in the second half. The following year, he beat the Grizzlies in G3, shooting 2-of-7 in the fourth quarter, 28%6 shooting 0-of-4 in the fourth quarter. Playing the Mavericks, G2 shot 2-of-6 in the fourth quarter, and G4 shot 2-of-8 in the fourth quarter. The 2012 Finals also had a 3rd game with 2-of-6 shooting, and the Western Conference finals against the Spurs made 0-of-2 shooting in the fourth quarter. And that's already his best playoff form with the Thunder. The shooting rate is about 45% every year for the remaining three years, and the No. 3 position, which is an efficient style of play, is suddenly the same as the No. 2 position of the so-called blacksmith Kobe. And don't forget, Durant's singles ratio is much less than Kobe's. Not to mention this season, playing the Mavericks G2 in the fourth quarter of 10 shots, shooting 20% from the field. G3 shot 1-of-4 from the field in the fourth quarter and shot 25 percent. G4 shot 2-of-7 from the field in the fourth quarter and shot 28.6 percent. G5 shot 4-of-11 in the second half. The Spurs also shot 1-of-4 in the fourth quarter. 1. He shot 25% from 3-of-12 shooting in the fourth quarter. 6. 1-of-7 shooting in the fourth quarter for 14.3 percent. In the final tie-break, Durant's 52.6% shooting rate looked perfect, but looking at the fourth quarter, he shot 4-of-9 from the field and shot 44.4%. Wait, don't worry, the last five minutes turned into 2 of 5 shots. Then in the last 120 seconds, only 3 shots were left and 1 of them were left. Gradually descend.

There are still a few years of playoffs left unlisted. If you look at Durant's fourth quarter of the playoffs, you know that his fitness collapse is serious. Basically, every season in the playoffs, there are many times when the fourth quarter is extremely low. And at that time, wasn't it when a team needed him the most? So Larry. Brown's tactical arrangement is very clear, although he did not play the super infinite rotation lineup, but let Covington play the No. 3 position. Give him a task and frantically pester his opponent to consume him.

Durant's fitness has always been a big problem.

When he gets fit, it will be easy for the Lakers to win.

Because the Lakers' defense is very strong, there have always been defensive giants at the No. 3 position, so the consumption of Durant has never been smaller. Especially when a starter Ariza was finally consumed, and the opponent was replaced by a substitute, Durant suddenly discovered, wow, it turns out that this defender who came off the bench is a real defender.

It's too strong! His defense is much stronger than Ariza just now! Coupled with his height and reach, although Durant is still scoring, his efficiency is visibly declining. Looking at this situation, he can't stand it until the fourth quarter.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, Durant began to hit a series of irons, and his handling errors were also increasing. As for the Lakers, they have strengthened their offense on the inside and low post, because no matter what, Tang Qian's defensive pressure is still less than Durant's. Durant's defenders, whether Ariza or Covington, are really known for their defense, but what about here? Although Adams has a tough and wild style of play, he is not as good as he is behind this season, and he can't get to the point of being a defensive giant, and he is only in his third year and has not yet come out of the "rookie contract" period. And after Tang Qian strengthened the frequency of deliberately killing the inside line, Adams finally couldn't escape the clutches, and 5 criminals were in hand, so he could only be temporarily replaced. The Thunder had no big man to use, so they had to replace Kanter.

This guy who is the bottom of the league when defending the No. 5 position.

Billy. Donovan also explained to Kante in advance, telling him to defend with all his might, regardless of the offense, and how many can be blocked. However, Kante still disappointed him, Adams, Tang Qian singled Kante like no one, and the scoring efficiency began to explode rapidly. Coupled with Durant's continuous iron play, the Thunder are about to lose.

The score difference was once again widened to 10 points.

The Thunder took a timeout, but it didn't work well, and the Lakers led by 13 points after the third quarter. Durant is already tired, and Covington is far more depleted on his defense than Ariza just now. Durant's physical fitness began to sound an alarm of exhaustion. And now, the Thunder are also on the edge of the cliff, and if Durant falls, they will definitely be finished. The giant star can't play, and he doesn't dare to let the Lakers open up as a whole, and failure has become an inevitable thing.

And right here in Billy. When Donovan was still struggling, an even more unfortunate news appeared, Wei Shao suddenly twisted his ankle when he broke through, and he felt uncomfortable on the spot. The Thunder team doctor came up to check and asked Wei Shao to go back to the locker room, which means that it is better not to play this game again. When they heard the news, the Thunder's coaching staff and all the fans were in mourning.

Live commentator at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Brian Brown. Davis even hugged his head a little and said: "It's so unfortunate that we lost Russell, it's so unfortunate to lose a heavy general at such a critical time, I think the goddess of victory is about to leave Oklahoma." "Billy. Donovan also had a gloomy face, not knowing what else to say.

Because of Wei Shao's injury, the morale of the Thunder team has also been significantly affected, and this game ...... It's hard to fight.

Alas, I didn't expect it to end like this, I ...... I'm not reconciled.

Just when the Lakers players thought that the overall situation had been decided, there was a sudden commotion in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and when you listen carefully, it seems to be bursts of cheers. It got bigger and bigger, and it quickly spread throughout the arena. As soon as the Lakers players looked at the big screen above their heads, they immediately understood where these people were cheering. It turned out to be Russell, who was supposed to go into the locker room. Westbrook walked out and then looked like I was going to keep playing.

This scene, for Americans, is the drama of "the return of heroes", and there have been many times in history. Including the "Reed's Return" of that year. Team Rocket's "Yao Ming's Return" that year. The "return of Pierce" when the Celtics and the Lakers played in the Finals and so on, this is a thing that can boost people's morale and spirits.

Wei Shao is not pretending, he is really gritting his teeth to continue.

This scene made the on-site commentator also come to his senses, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and shouted loudly: "Russell is back!" It's Russell back! Looking at the way he looks, he wants to continue playing! This kind of spirit is worthy of admiration! It deserves to regain the favor of the goddess of victory! Everyone shouts with me~ O~K~C~"

“O~K~C~”

“O~K~C~”

“O~K~C~”

A large number of Thunder fans began to shout, coupled with the neat home T-shirts, the momentum was amazing, so that the home team players felt that the blood was rising again, and the away team players felt as if the whole stadium was suddenly filled with pressure.

Wei Shao did live up to expectations, he was ruthless as soon as he came up, and he actually scored 2 top arcs in a row to shoot three points, and the score difference was narrowed all of a sudden. After letting he rush over and destroy the Lakers' hanging pass inside ball, he then quickly passed the ball to Andre in front of him, who had been without a sense of presence. Robertson stepped down in time to catch the ball.

Beep~

Scored ~ added penalties ~ The Thunder team was about to catch up with 9 points in an instant!! This made the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena boil and cheer again!!

Larry. Brown called a timeout, and he wanted to get on the Super Infinite Rotation lineup and finish off the opponent in one go. Don't let your opponent get back on the rise. But at this time, a yellow figure turned his face and said, "Sir, they are not ahead of us yet, are they?" According to our conditions in the locker room, you shouldn't be using your hole cards right now. "Larry. Brown wanted to say something, but Tang Qian directly preempted him: "Mr. ~ believe me ~ believe us ~"

"A mere 'return drama' can't shake anything, this game will still be won."

"This round of the series, or at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, is here, and the curtain is over."
