The Thunder called a timeout, and their starters have had some problems with offense lately.

Actually, it's not a big problem, it's just that Durant and Westbrook don't feel very good.

The state of the players is already up and down, there are peaks and valleys, and this phenomenon is even more obvious in ordinary players.

Maybe one week, or one month, a player's three-point form will be very good.

There are many games in a row, and the shooting rate is high.

Especially at the beginning of the season, some players will have the phenomenon of "explosive seeds".

But the NBA has a long schedule and a lot of games, and it's an endurance race.

Some of the ones who are not in good form will start to drop the chain by the middle of the season.

The shooting percentage continues to decline, and it is very common for all kinds of outside open shots to not score.

Superstar players like Durant and Westbrook will also go up and down, which is a relatively high lower limit, and it will not be as obvious as ordinary players.

This week, the two men's form has dived at the same time, and their three-point shooting and mid-range shooting percentages have declined, and they often can't open the game.

Then the Thunder had to rely on the second team to chase down points.

Donovan didn't want to let Li Liang play too early, and Li Liang used it earlier to consolidate his advantage and kill the opponent with one hammer.

During the timeout, Donovan emphasized playing more inside and reducing outside shots.

At the same time, you can try to defend in defense and disrupt the rhythm of the Lakers' offensive organization.

Returning to the court after the timeout, Donovan's adjustments didn't work too well.

Playing inside, Hibbert's big black pillar pestle is really effective under the basket.

Westbrook rushed to the basket but didn't make a shot, Hibbert got the backcourt rebound, passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe used a deft dribble to avoid the defense in the counterattack, and directly hit a pull-up jump shot.

In Kobe's state, playing for another two years is not a problem at all, Li Liang sat on the bench and watched, I really don't know why he wants to retire.

Then, Durant held the ball and rushed inside, but Leonard's defense of Durant was very good, Durant failed to hit the basket, and finally could only tilt his body and force a stop-and-go jump shot, but he didn't shoot.

The Thunder's offense was clearly in a hurry.

And the Lakers played steadily, and Hibbert received the backcourt rebound, or gave Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant passed the half court without hurrying, gave the ball to Love, and went inside himself, while making a block for Leonard.

Leonard went to the outside, received the ball and pretended to shoot, and after feintting to shake off Durant, he held the ball and forced the basket.

In the face of Adams' supplementary defense, he grabbed the ball with one hand and went straight to the basket to dunk!

Leonard's hands are really big, giant hands, although his dribble breakthrough is not as spiritual as Kobe, but he is like a robot, straight into the basket, jumping quickly, and dunking a basket with a blank face.

Slow-motion replays can clearly see that Leonard has no expression when he dunks.

Like Jordan and Kobe, they often stick out their tongues, and other players will also look angry, only Leonard, as if nothing happened.

The score has become 16:1, and the Lakers are open, and the Thunder can't raise their heads.

And the Thunder finally got a goal in their next offense.

Kevin Durant asked for the ball on the left side of the waist, and after receiving the ball, he turned and threw a backward jumper to score two points.

Leonard's ball interfered, but it didn't work, and Durant found his shooting feeling and was unmatched.

But coming back, Leonard also asked for the ball in the low post, the baseline line, the ball, the back dribble to the top, and then the same action, the turnover jumper also scored!

This trick is a new trick that Leonard learned in the new season, and under the guidance of Kobe, it can be said that it is quite smooth and excellent.

Leonard's shooting talent is not outstanding, his hand shape and posture are obviously stiff, and to put it bluntly, the ball is not good.

But he relied on his hard training and in a short period of time, he improved his shooting to a high level.

At 18:3, the Lakers established an absolute advantage of 15 points.

The Thunder's offense was slowly recovering, and Westbrook was starting to score.

He seized on a mistake in Hibbert's defensive move, jumped to the basket, and got a gliding dunk with his left hand!

Westbrook's outbursts, jumps, and no room for defenders to have a little hole.

Hibbert was too far away, and he walked a little upline, and he was punched through.

But the Thunder didn't have a turning point, as the Lakers were also scoring.

Kobe Bryant and Lefu cooperated with each other, Lefu received the ball and was covered by Robertson, and Lefu then distributed the ball to Leonard on the wing.

Leonard received the ball and made a mid-range jumper shot directly at a zero degree angle, and then hit!

He is coming to feel, it is simply Durant possessed, how to vote how to have.

And Durant, who defended him, was embarrassed and was hit several times in a row.

Before the start of the game, he took the initiative to say that he could prevent Leonard and let Robertson deal with Lefou.

The result was good, Leonard scored consecutive points, or in the way of shooting.

When preparing for the game, Li Liang said, "Leonard, I'll get him in minutes, don't work hard at all, if you can't prevent it, that's your problem." ”

Well, now that I can't prevent it, I can't throw it in, and I'm probably going to be ridiculed by Bruce Lee.

Durant sometimes just thinks too much, and thinking too much will affect the state.

What is it that you are likely to be ridiculed, you will definitely be ridiculed by Li Liang like this!

Sure enough, Durant received the ball on the offensive perimeter and forced a three-point shot, but missed.

Li Liang couldn't sit still off the court, pointed to the field and scolded, "If you can't throw, don't throw it blindly!" You won't be able to play! I won't beat you! ”

Durant glanced at Li Liang off the court, pouted and was very unhappy.

But lately he's been in average form, he's had a cold in the first half of the day, he's just recovered and needs to adjust.

And the high-intensity schedule of the NBA often doesn't have much time for you to adjust, you can only change the game to find the feeling, and the process is inevitably a little twists and turns.

But Durant doesn't quite understand why Li Liang's state is so stable, just like Shifo Duncan.

Especially his shooting touch, which is extremely efficient and stable, is simply terrifying.

Maybe it's a gift.

……

With four minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by 13 points, 25-12.

Donovan pointed to Li Liang, who was already hungry and thirsty while sitting on the bench, and called a timeout to get him ready to play.

As soon as Li Liang took off his sports jacket and stood on the court, the Staples Center began to cheer.

Fans in Los Angeles still love Bruce Lee.

Li Liang also shamelessly waved to the audience and fans.

He acted like he was really a Los Angeles player.

The Thunder's side is five up and five down, pure bench, second lineup, second center.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant will definitely go down to rest, and Love will also rest.

The man who stayed on the court with the second team was Leonard.

Seeing Li Liang appear, Leonard was inexplicably a little panicked.

Leonard played very well in the first quarter, shooting 6-of-7 from the field and scoring 12 points alone, which was extremely efficient.

But Li Liang was on, and Leonard himself was hinting to himself in his heart, "It's over, this product is here, it feels like a pill." ”

Li Liang does have a psychological advantage in beating Leonard, and Leonard will suffer a loss against Li Liang's team every time.

Not only the scene suffers, but the data suffers, the wins and losses suffer, and even the psychology suffers.

Leonard is a person with excellent psychological quality, but every time he is provoked by Li Liang's anger.

Although he couldn't see it on the surface, he was always expressionless, but Li Liang knew it, because he received the anger value.

And it's delayed every time.

Leonard has now arrived, and he is a little angry when he sees Li Liang.

[Rage +20 from Kawhine Leonard.] 】

Li Liang was a little confused, damn, I didn't do anything or say anything, so you were angry with me?

On second thought, it may have been the last one, delayed.
