Chapter 187: Perkins Confused (Part I)

From the third quarter onwards, the situation changed abruptly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The physical advantage of the Thunder gradually showed that the Lakers' weak wing could not withstand the crazy impact of the Thunder at all. Kobe Bryant couldn't hold down one but couldn't hold two, Sessions was almost blown up by Westbrook, in front of the super athletic Wei Shao, Sessions was like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, and he was beaten in an instant.

And in the position of small forward, the Lakers also suffered a big loss, after Ci Shiping got older, it was okay to deal with a power forward, but it was easy to be deflated when dealing with a flexible and athletic forward. What's more, is it an "alternative" forward genius like Durant who only comes out once in 20 years?

Kobe Bryant was almost exhausted in the face of the flank offense and defense full of holes, too much supplemental defense and co-defense, so that his physical strength dropped rapidly, and there was a 45.5% shooting rate in the first half, but in the third quarter, he was stunned to shoot 6 and 0. The Thunder's way to deal with Kobe Bryant is very simple, go to Durant to entangle the opponent, so that Kobe Bryant has no room to shoot easily, once he enters the interior line, there are Perkins and Ibaka to supplement the defense, this kind of defense can be called an iron bucket, so that Kobe, who is nearly 34 years old with huge physical exertion, can play strongly, and the effect can be imagined.

Fortunately, the owner of the nunnery made 2 of 4 shots and helped the Lakers score some points, but even so, he paid the price of being blocked twice.

This season's Thunder team is very ferocious, coupled with explosive talent attributes, almost unstoppable in the entire West.

Five minutes into the quarter, Mike. Brown was forced to call a timeout.

59-53, in just five minutes, the Lakers went from a 5-point lead in the first half to a 6-point deficit, and the 11-point gap in the middle was made in the blink of an eye, as if the Lakers' lead in the first half was a dream, and it never appeared at all.

The so-called overflowing talent is the 2011-2012 Thunder team.

From the main force to the substitutes, all of them are birds and beasts, and their physical talent attributes are absolutely the first in the league.

"You're in too much of a hurry, put down the tempo and attack with what we do best, so that we can regain the initiative in the game!" Mike. It's easy for Brown to say, but if you want to press the tempo, will people agree? The 2011-2012 season of the Thunder team is a flying team, everyone is like a bomb tied to their feet, and the rhythm will be taken to fly as soon as they exert their strength.

So the current situation is that the Lakers can't slow down if they want to.

Fighting with this Thunder team, the consumption of physical strength is at least 2 times more than that of ordinary opponents!

Coupled with the aging of the Lakers' lineup, it is really stretched to fight for reserves with such a young army.

In order to keep the possibility of winning possible, Mike. Brown had to make substitutions, and Kobe Bynham was left with Gasol to rest, leaving only one Sessions to press on the court.

For the first time, Bryant felt the limits of his physical strength like he had never felt before.

"Hot, Troy, Matt, Blake, you four go up and try to help the main players buy time to rest, do you understand?" Mike. Brown began to lay out the task.

In fact, all this is inseparable from him.

Mike in Cleveland. Brown just likes to die. the main force, this habit he has brought all the way to Los Angeles.

But he didn't want to think about what was the situation in Cleveland at the beginning? What about Los Angeles? James was in his early 20s with the Cavaliers. Hughes is also not yet 30 years old, and Drew. Gooden and Morris. Not to mention Williams, who are all around 24~25 years old. Since he took over the Cavaliers, the main lineup has been quite young and quite energetic. But what's the Lakers in right now? Kobe Bryant is about to be 34, Gasol is about to be 32, Ci Shiping is 32, and there was an old fish Fisher of 378 before, except for Bynum who is still a young man, the other four starters are all older players. Even if I recently got a Ramon. Sessions, however, was unable to fit perfectly into the team's lineup because of run-in problems. Take this hand to play to death. The drama of the main force is no less than killing chickens and taking eggs, drying up and fishing, and it can only break out in the second half of the season, and it is out of control.

However, in addition to his coaching style, Mike. Brown also has no way to do this since the Lakers left Lamar. After Odom, the entire bench line was weak, and I thought that Troy. Murphy could be entrusted with the task, but the result was an empty joy, and the Lakers' bench did not get any improvement. Coupled with the mid-season trade, the Lakers, who already lacked depth in the roster, made it even worse, and it was difficult for even the main starters to gain the upper hand. In this case, it is a miracle that the Lakers can still play in the top four in the West.

Mike. After Brown finished speaking, he arranged a few more simple tactics, but anyone could see that he changed this lineup just to delay time and let the main starters take a breath. Wait for them to catch their breath and then go back to death. Exercise.

That's Mike. Brown's intentions.

Because against the most talented team in the league, he couldn't think of a good idea.

Seeing the Lakers substitution, Thunder head coach Brooks also applied for substitutions. Brooks was well planned, far better than Mike. Brown wants to be strong. On his coaching resume, Scott. Brooks also won the Head Coach of the Year award, and coincidentally, the year he won the COY was in Mike. Behind Brown, Mike. Brown was the COY of the 2008-2009 season, and he was the COY of the 2009-2010 season.

Domestic, Korean. Ting Sports Channel Studio.

"Okay, we saw that the Lakers changed lineups, and the people who came in were Tang Qian, Murphy, Barnes and Steve. Blake. Oh? The Thunder also made substitutions, Shuangshao and Ibaka both went off the court, and the person who replaced them was James. Harden, Derek. Fisher, Nick. Collison. This is a new lineup, and the Thunder have rarely arranged like this before! Yu Jia looked at the broadcast signal and said.

"Well, the Thunder are resting the main lineup, I think Scott. Coach Brooks has done a good job at this point, looking at the average minutes of Ibaka and Durant, of which Ibaka only averages about 27 minutes per game at least, followed by Wei Shao, he only averages 35 minutes per game, and only Durant has reached 38 minutes. But how old is Durant this year, not yet 24 years old, and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is almost 34, a full ten years older than Durant, but his average playing time per game is the same. Coach Brown's substitutions, there are some problems. Su skirt followed Yu Jia's words and said that he was not too optimistic about this year's Lakers, which he had mentioned in his column.

"Then what does Mr. Su think of the outcome of this game?" Yu Jia asked.

"The Lakers estimate that it will be difficult to win, the bench depth and the Thunder are not at the same level, and it is unlikely that the main lineup alone will overwhelm the opponent. Because as I said before, the Lakers' starting lineup is not a few years ago, and it is difficult to maintain long-term offensive and defensive pressure, in fact, even Bynum is not a particularly physical person, and if the Lakers want to win against their opponents, someone on the bench must step up. There used to be Lamar. Odom provides stable firepower, and it's hard to say now, Harden alone can redeem most of the Lakers' bench scores, so it will be very difficult for the Lakers to win tonight. ”

"What about Tang Qian? Is it possible to expect him to perform? In the last game, he achieved excellent statistics! Yu Jia said.

"Well, but Tang Qian is still a newcomer after all, and it is a little unrealistic to expect him to explode every scene! Of course, as a Chinese, I still hope that Tang Qian can step up and become the main player on the Lakers' bench. ”

"Alright, the game is about to start, let's watch the game together."

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

"Derek, how are you doing? Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, we have become opponents. After Tang Qian saw the figure of "Old Fish" Fisher, he went over and said hello.

"This is the NBA, this is the business, you will understand it slowly, but now, we Thunder are going to crush you and win tonight!" Fisher is the president of the NBA players' union, so he also sees this kind of transaction very lightly, although when he received the news at the time, it was difficult for him to accept, but after a long time, he slowly figured it out. Isn't it ridiculous and self-conscious for a role player to talk about loyalty to an NBA team?

The NBA is a business, and that's a true saying.

"Okay, Derek, but we're not going to lose." Tang Qian replied.

Brush~

At 61-53, Perkins of the Thunder made a close-range shot in front of Murphy to add two more points.

"I'll defend him." Don potential Perkins scored a goal and went straight to Troy. Murphy said.

As soon as this sentence came out, Murphy's face was overjoyed, because it was too difficult for him to defend Perkins alone, first of all, in terms of tonnage and confrontation, the two were not in the same dimension. Perkins is 288+ pounds, and he is only around 245 pounds, and the gap between the core strength of the two sides is huge.

And then look at Troy. Throughout Murphy's career, he has never been a confrontational insider, and there is nothing wrong with saying that he is soft.

Therefore, Tang Qian's words, for him, are no less than a relief.

Looking at the Thunder's current lineup on the court, apart from Perkins, the only interior player left is Nick. Collisson, Nick. Although Collison also plays in a more aggressive way, he is much gentler than Perkins, just a standard white American insider. Dealing with this kind of inside line that is also Caucasian, Troy. Murphy thought it would be easier.

As an opponent, Perkins couldn't help but tremble slightly after hearing Tang Qian's words, because he still remembered the scene of the last game with the Lakers.

Don't take it lightly, this Oriental boy is not a good stubble!

Recalling the scenes of that game, Perkins said to himself.

On the Lakers' side, Ramon. Sessions missed the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, and with a "dang" sound, the basketball smashed high on the front of the basket.

"Grab the rebound!"

Sessions shouted in some chagrin that it was clear that his shooting touch tonight wasn't very good.

In an instant, the Thunder's basket was crowded into a ball, and Tang Qian, Perkins, Collisson, and Murphy were ready to jump at the same time.

Activate, Bronze Agility Card.

Tang Qian looked at this rebound and muttered silently in his heart.
