Chapter 777: Crisis is here
Naturally, this game is still broadcast live on ESPN, and coincidentally, it is still Chris. Webb and Henry. Abbott sat in the guest seat. Looking at this situation, it should have been a long time ago that "signed 2 games" in one go.
After a series of double-battles, home and away changes of ownership, coupled with the tragedy of the last time, the Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, was full of shouts in this game. And from the beginning of the warm-up, it has not stopped.
"Kill these L.A. guys!! Kevin!!! You're the MVP in my mind!! ”
"Last time it wasn't that stupid. Forcing the referee, we would have won a long time ago!! We're going to beat the Lakers tonight on our home court!! ”
"It's just a temporary way to put them in the second place in the West!! We'll take it back in a moment!! ”
"Come on!! Kevin!!! This season should be yours!! ”
On the court, Tang Qian warmed up and said with a wry smile: "These guys are really high-spirited, they have been so fierce from the beginning." Aren't you afraid that you won't have enough water? "Leave them alone, hot, tonight we are going to be the same as No. 9, defeat the opponent and continue to win!" Kobe Bryant didn't care and warmed up seriously.
Tonight, it's hard to say.
Tang Qian had some things that were difficult to say, because he couldn't explain them clearly to others.
Let's just hope Gasol can get back a little bit tonight.
Otherwise, it's really hard to fight.
On the Thunder side, Durant seems to have been holding his breath, and the loss in the last game has made him haunted by it to this day. Thankfully, he had one more chance to equalise! Tonight at home, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, you can't afford to lose!
Definitely going to win!!
The Thunder team went up and down, with a taste of revenge, looking at the Los Angeles Lakers, their eyes seemed to have a hidden fire.
"It's a good look, but we won tonight." Bryant walked over to the court and greeted Durant.
"You think beautifully! If it wasn't for your luck last time, I would have killed you a long time ago! Durant also did not give in: "I want to take everything back tonight!" ”
"Good! Give it a try! How could Kobe be afraid of this threat, his expression was a little joking, an expression of a superior looking at a subordinate. This made the Thunder No. 35 even more unhappy and gritted his teeth even more.
Tonight, must win!!!!!!
In the first quarter, the Thunder showed strong offensive firepower, scoring 40 points in a single quarter!! bloomed more, and almost didn't knock the Lakers down directly!! Fortunately, the rest of the Lakers in this quarter of the game were still passable, and they scored 28 points. Kobe Bryant didn't feel good in the first quarter, making only 1 of 6 shots and a very low shooting percentage. It can be seen that this situation has begun to appear more and more frequently recently, which is definitely not a good phenomenon. This means that the body and physical fitness of the Lakers' No. 24 have begun to light up yellow.
If the chaos continues, no one can say what will happen.
But if you want Kobe Bryant to play, that's also delusional! This season, he spent the rest of the season resting for a week with a sprained ankle against the Bulls. There was no intention of coming down and resting.
The ambition and desire to compete, extremely strong.
Tang Qian understands that this is because No. 24 knows that this will be his last season, so he will race against time, and he is not willing to give up easily. After all, it really is now, and there is one less fight.
As a high school player who joined the NBA league before the age of 18, as a person who has played basketball for most of his life and professional basketball for half his life. If you suddenly want him to end his career, of course he will be reluctant.
That's why Kobe Bryant is so desperate, different from normal hard work.
The reason, this is it.
However, this can't be against the physiological rules of the body, you always play the whole game like this, always have a strong output of attack and defense in one, and often break out in the state of "The.Zone" and "Super God", and you can't stand the iron fight. Jordan? Jordan didn't fight like this either. It's simply a game at all costs.
However, Kobe Bryant's spirit can keep up, and his body will always be tired.
The full peak does not mean that it is a perpetual motion machine, and if it exceeds a certain limit, it must be finished.
The last time he was injured in the Bulls, it was a warning sign, which means that he is not a real iron man, he is at the peak of his full circle, he is still flesh and blood, and he will be injured. But the paradox is that now the Lakers are indispensable for Kobe's offensive and defensive output, especially against the Thunder, you don't have Kobe? It is estimated that the opponent will take it away directly in waves!
It can be spent in 5 minutes!
In the second quarter, Tang Qian was missing, and the Lakers' interior line was suddenly empty, at this time, according to the original plan, it was to attack, exchange attacks for attacks, and score points for points, and try not to let the score difference expand too much. Wait for Tang Qian to come back in the second half, and then start to attack steadily and steadily to improve the defensive intensity.
There is no problem with this tactic and strategy, because there is no Tang Qian in the second quarter, and the Lakers' interior line is weakened all of a sudden, I don't know how much. In this case, even if you want the Lakers players on the court to defend with all their might, it will have limited effect, and the upper limit of ability is there, not to mention that under normal circumstances, it will not inspire 100% defensive concentration. So the second quarter of the offense was a solution that D'Antoni came up with for the time being.
But Gasol was still in the doldrums tonight, especially after Kobe Bryant passed the ball to him for the main attack, and he was beaten by Ibaka and Steven. Adams had a big hat for each person, and then ...... The Spaniards actually began to "strike" and no longer took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post??? It's just a joke!! Gasol, as a stable scoring point that should average about 18+ per game, is now so "passive" that it has suddenly put the Lakers into a huge passivity.
The Thunder's defensive counterattack ability, which is second only to Miami in the league, was caught with several offensive and defensive transitions at once, and the Lakers finished the half, 71-51, trailing the opponent by 20 points!!
If Tang Qian still has an ability card, then forget it, there is still a great chance to catch up.
Right now...... It has become a big problem and a big trouble.
Yes, Tang Qian can still stand firm on the defensive end, but what about the offensive end? He had lost the magic of some time ago, and it was impossible to take it anymore. The Lakers' original offensive model of the first dozen games collapsed. It became the time some time ago when Kobe Bryant was alone in the overall situation.
At this time, Kobe Bryant also had a huge consumption of physical reserves, and his state was not as stable as at the beginning of the season and in the middle of the season.
The Lakers were suddenly in a huge crisis.
Needless to say, the defense is only so good, Tang Qianzhen can't take care of the outside line, but the offense is a straight down trend. Crazy falls, crazy cliffs.
Kobe Bryant looked at Tang Qian in the locker room, and seemed to have a little sense of questioning:
Why don't you score inside like you did before???
Tang Qian had words of suffering, so he could only shake his head, unable to give more responses.
The Lakers were in a stalemate all of a sudden.
