At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by six points at 32:26.

In the second half of the first quarter, the main players went off the court, and the Lakers replaced the bench and were chased closer by the Thunder.

Still, Mike Brown has a bit of a brain.

He let Dwight Howard play the full first quarter and let Howard lead the team for two minutes while Kobe, Li Liang, and Nash went down to rest.

He made a dunk under the basket and made Collison foul to the free throw line, allowing the Lakers to maintain their advantage.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook played superbly, and a high-throw shot in the face of a three-man bag defense.

Then just before the end of the first quarter, dribble from beyond the three-point line and shoot!

Westbrook made a big splash in the first quarter, hitting three three-pointers and scoring 13 points in the quarter.

When he has a good hand, the scoring explosiveness is indeed amazing.

After hitting a three-pointer, he made a pistol back to the sleeve, which was very domineering.

But on the Lakers' side, Nash's performance is not far behind, but it doesn't look so hot.

In the interval between the first and second quarters, reporters interviewed Lakers coach Mike Brown and asked him what changes the team's playing style has made to deal with after Gasol's injury.

Mike Brown said: "We put Bruce Lee in the starting line-up and he's done well and he's been an integral part of the team. We did a good job on the offensive end in the first quarter, and we were very efficient, and we stepped up the three-pointers and increased the tempo of the game to make up for some of the shortcomings in Paul's absence. ”

Brown said the first thing, as if you had developed the strategy for the opening three-point and perimeter shooting.

The three Zhuge Liang continued to sit on the bench to rest, and Li Liang kept communicating with Nash.

You can't stop learning for a moment.

In the last game against the Hornets, Li Liang made a lot of mistakes, and he felt that if he passed too much, he would inevitably be distracted in the high-intensity game, and he would make mistakes.

And Nash has always made very few mistakes, so you can ask him for advice.

The Thunder team has fewer assists for themselves and fewer assists for their opponents.

Because the Thunder players are very physical, with long arm spans, fast lateral movement, steals in the upper reaches of the league and the most blocks in the league.

Their fast-break explosiveness is very strong, and once Westbrook steals in the backcourt, they will give you a slam dunk.

So, to play the Thunder, be sure to reduce mistakes.

Nash admires a studious young man like Li Liang, who combines the situation on the court and talks to him about how to read the opponent's defense to make the right passing choices.

After talking for a while, Li Liang listened very carefully, so he took a small notebook and wrote it down.

Kobe Bryant on the side suddenly said: "I'm afraid of mistakes, you just don't pass the ball." ”

Li Liang was stunned, huh? How do you feel that it makes sense?

Nash laughed when he heard this.

Feelings: I have so many years of experience as a point guard, but I can't stand up to Kobe's words.

At this time, the rotation lineups of the two sides on the field are clashing.

Jamison became the Lakers' firepower on the court, Morris missed a layup, he grabbed a rebound in the frontcourt, and a throw hit.

On the Thunder's side, Durant stayed on the court as the backbone.

Kevin Martin is on the scene, and as a replacement for Harden, the Thunder need his scoring.

But Meeks defended Martin well, close-quartered and didn't give him an easy chance to start and shoot.

Martin's body is relatively thin and weak, and he is most afraid of this kind of close defense.

After making a block with Collisson, the drop ball was given to Collison who went down.

The ball was not well blocked, and there was no chance on the inside.

But Collison dribbled past Jamison, came to the basket, and won a two-handed dunk!

Mike Brown was really going to tears as he watched Jamison's defense.

This is Collison, not Stoudemire, who was so easily pushed off and dunked.

However, the defense of the Thunder's rotational lineup is not much better.

Their backup center is Thabit – a complete pitfall.

This guy is still on the list in '09, look at the ones behind him - Harden, Curry, DeRozan.

After selecting Mayo to miss Westbrook, the Grizzlies also took Tabitt, and this draft ability is also heavenly.

It can be said that the teams named after animals in the NBA, such as the Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Bucks, Raptors, Hawks, and Bulls, all have worrying draft capabilities.

Five or six high picks, if they can play one, they win, which is basically equivalent to blind selection.

As soon as Tabit came on the court, the inside line leaked, and Jordan Hill ran back into the inside, received a pass from Morris, and dunked it with both hands!

You say you can't even hold Jordan Hill, what's the use of you?

The Thunder's backup point guard is Eric Maynor, a guard who has had some difficulty with the ball through the half.

Morris rarely encountered a point guard who was worse than him in a game, and the midcourt was pressing, and Meno almost lost the ball.

A sloppy pass to Durant was stabbed by Ibanks, and it took his long arm to get it back.

Durant distributed the ball to Martin on the wing, and after Martin received the ball, he hit a three-pointer with his own ability.

At 34:31, the difference narrowed to only 3 points.

Li Liang felt that the momentum was not very good, and said to Mike Brown: "Mike, it's time to change, this lineup can't play, what should I do if the offense is launched?" ”

Because it was the last game of the three-game streak, considering the health of the veterans and the team's lead in the first quarter, there was a pure substitute in the transition section.

In this way, Kobe Bryant and Nash can rest more and not overload.

Brown thought about it, and as if it made sense, he immediately called a short timeout.

Substitution! Since Li Liang is what you said, then you can go up.

Brown really replaced Li Liang.

In fact, Brown shouldn't have replaced Li Liang to rest, you see that Durant is still playing.

What's wrong with young people fighting for a while, after they die, they have time to rest.

Three minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers rotated personnel, and Li Liang replaced Ibanks.

This substitution is very crucial, and the Thunder has faint signs of gaining momentum.

The Lakers' defense, the players' defensive attitudes, and formations are all normal.

The problem is that the personal ability is not enough, one basket is opened and dunked, and the other is **, all of which are insufficient ability.

The Thunder are a team that is very good at crushing opponents with the individual ability of their players.

It's talent stronger than you, it's jumping higher than you, it's being able to score.

This kind of team is unreasonable.

Since you are unreasonable, then we will go up to the one who can be reasonable, and go up and reason with you.

After Li Liang came on the field, he played with a substitute, he has experience.

The substitutes also felt that they had a backbone all of a sudden, and the offense was played in an organized manner.

Morris controlled the ball, and Li Liang covered Morris at 45 degrees on the left side.

He made a gesture to Morris and cut inside immediately after taking cover.

This is the most common routine after blocking and dismantling, and Li Liang suddenly attracted the defensive attention of three people.

But Morris didn't pass, and Meeks came out in the bottom corner to complete a cross-screen, hand-to-hand pass with Morris.

Meeks has a little room to shoot from the outside and hits a three-point shot!

The Lakers' three-point shot tonight was simply terrible, and the shooting percentage was terrible.

Li Liang didn't even touch the ball, but it was a key part of this tactic.

He did tactical deception to make the Thunder players mistakenly believe that the Lakers were going to play inside.

It didn't, and he chose a 45-degree three-point shot in the end.

The Thunder also played a tactic on their side, Collison took the ball high, and Durant made a feint on the wing, pretending to go around to catch the ball, but suddenly cut inside.

Collison hit the ground and passed to Durant, who received the ball and leaned on Li Liang and hit a jumper.

Durant's empty-handed running has reached a very high level, the feints are real and fake, and the air cut is extremely sharp.

Li Liang doesn't have Durant's ability, but he has other ways.

On the offensive end, he squatted in the bottom corner again, and Durant took the initiative to defend Li Liang.

The Lakers passed the ball several times on the outside, and Li Liang suddenly ran all the way from the baseline to the 45 degrees on the other side, making a blocking cover for Meeks.

As for Durant...... In the process of chasing, it has been delayed by Jordan Hill.

As a result, Meeks turned around and passed the ball to Li Liang at 45 degrees, and Li Liang received the ball and shot three points!

Hit!

How many three-pointers are these?

The Lakers are all on the outside today.

Feel this thing like that, like yawning, it will be contagious.

One person voted accurately, and even the others were approved.

Especially when the score is ahead, the ball is downwind, and it is easy to shoot more and more accurately.

The Thunder clearly had a problem on the defensive end, and Tabit was a complete liability.

He couldn't pounce on the outside, and he should have gone with Li Liang for that ball just now.

As a result, he squatted under the basket and waited for the rebound, but people could shoot it.

But Brooks didn't call a timeout, believing in Durant's abilities.

Sure enough, Durant first singled Li Liang one-on-one, and hit a step-back jumper.

Then, on the counterattack, Meeks missed a three-point shot, and the Thunder got the rebound.

Durant holds the ball and kills the basket with one dragon, and dunks with both hands!

It also caused a foul on Jordan Hill and a penalty to be added!

Li Liang stepped forward and said to Hill: "Big brother, if you want to foul, be fierce, and directly knock people down." What's the use of you being soft, getting a foul and making people play 2+1? ”

It's not the first time Jordan Hill has made this kind of mistake and hasn't played hard enough.

Durant hit a free throw, and the Thunder scored five straight points.

Mike Brown looked at the time, went to the main rotation, and replaced Kobe, Nash, Howard, and Ci Shiping on the court.

The score on the court was 40:36, and the Lakers still had the advantage.

As soon as the main force came up, the referee blew for an off-ball foul on the inside Thabit defending Howard.

Still unconvinced, Tabit beeped at the referee and was whistled for a technical foul.

Do you think you are Li Liang, anyone can reason with the referee?

Durant kept reminding Tabi that he was going to be penalized if he beeped again.

Li Liang applauded Tabit on the side, "Good scolding!" If you blow a foul a few times, you should be scolded, I don't think you have a foul, the referee blew it randomly. ”

Fortunately, Tabit kept a little calm and did not listen to Li Liang's slander.

If you continue to talk to the referee, you will probably be punished.

Unfortunately, Nash missed a rare free throw, and the margin remained at 4 points.

After plenty of rest, Bryant has regained his strength.

Li Liang on the outside made a block and dismantle cover for him, and the Thunder changed defenses.

Durant faces Kobe.

Durant is much taller than Kobe, but the taller he is, the more he will lose his pace and center of gravity.

So Kobe Bryant chose to hold the ball and break through directly!

Bryant held the ball to the inside, suddenly jumped back and hit a jumper, hitting two points.

Steady, really steady, reasonably chosen Kobe, scoring can kill.

He can always use his personal ability to score the ball when the two sides are deadlocked, and one side wants to get up and chase the score.

This kind of ball hurts the morale and momentum of the opponent the most.

Thunder was visibly impatient.

Obviously, Durant felt good about scoring in a row, but he couldn't touch the ball again.

Westbrook singled out Nash with the ball himself, and pulled out a zombie jumper in one step from the three-point line!

"Bang!" No.

Howard grabbed the rebound and immediately distributed the ball to Kobe.

Bryant countered quickly with the ball, and he single-handedly attracted two defenders.

Kobe Bryant slowed down first to adjust, and then suddenly accelerated from the wing to the basket!

The Thunder fully contracted and wrapped, and Bryant passed the ball out under the basket.

Li Liang received a pass from Kobe Bryant and was about to shoot three points.

Westbrook flew towards him like a roc with wings outstretched!

Hey, naïve Thunder players like to jump and jump, who is higher than you.

Li Liang gave the ball to Nash, who was following him, and Nash was completely empty.

Nash received the ball, there was no one within a radius of five meters, and he shot a three-point shot.

The ball hits accurately!

At 46:36, the difference has come to 10 points!

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to give a lesson to young people today and be reasonable.
