Chapter 295: Win This Battle!
Bang~
Tang Qian misses a free throw, Gasol struggles to fly the rebound, and the former reacts immediately, grabbing the offensive rebound before everyone else. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Defend! Defend me right away! Don't let him take it easy! "Scott. Brooks also has a clear head, he knows that now is not the time to blame the Thunder players for grabbing the board, and the first priority now is to prevent the Lakers' No. 29 offense. Otherwise, the basket is attacked, but there is no feeling to say, and the empty position is almost accurate.
In the face of the Thunder team's double encirclement, Tang Qian immediately played the ball, not nostalgic at all, because he knew that with his current offensive ability, nostalgia was also in vain, and if he attacked the double defense, the hit rate would fall to the scum. So he didn't hesitate at all, and chose to pass the ball at the first time. Gasol received the pass, held it high, and put the basketball into the Thunder's basket.
"Pass beautifully, hot!" Gasol pointed to Don after scoring.
At 89-91, the Thunder's lead was only 2 points.
Now the Oklahomans are thinking not about a big victory, but about maintaining the lead, not as a negative lesson in history. Kevin. Durant took a deep breath, concentrated a little bit of energy, and then received the ball on the outside and made a direct three-point shot, brush~, facing Ci Shiping's defense, the Thunder's No. 35, and threw this key three-point shot.
For a moment, Kobe Bryant even saw the shadow of his youth in him.
89-94, but if you think about it, he is not ready to give up the victory of this game, because the Lakers have no way out, and if they lose this game, they have to disband and go home and go fishing on vacation. Turning around, Kobe Bryant used his signature jumper to attack James. Harden, brush~, also no suspense, hollow into the net, this is a standard "answer.ball", commonly known as "promise ball" or "response ball". In the NBA, scoring the "answer.ball" is a morale-boosting thing that prevents the team's momentum from being curbed and hit. And Kobe. Bryant is undoubtedly the leader of "answer.ball", and he is fighting with him, and there is basically no good end until the Achilles tendon ruptures.
91-94γ
Kevin. Durant saw that Kobe Bryant scored a "response ball", and he also had the desire to compete, and the offensive end once again stiffened Ci Shiping, brushed ~, and 2 points fell into the pocket. The projection ability of the Thunder's No. 35 is really the pinnacle of existence at the No. 3 position. This point is compared between Emperor Zhan and him, it is ten streets behind, no wonder Ci Shiping secretly complained about his defense, it is indeed too exaggerated.
91-96γ
Seeing the other party playing like this, Kobe Bryant became interested, and also chose to return the favor, leaning back and eating James alone. Harden. However, Harden defended this ball very well, and Kobe's shot failed to hit the basket.
Oops! If this ball is not thrown......
Just in Mike. When Brown was secretly "bad", the Lakers' No. 29 crowd jumped up and grabbed this offensive rebound in front of everyone.
"You don't want to go in again!" Sergi. Seeing this, Ibaka pounced viciously, and then shouted loudly.
But Tang Qian didn't choose to shoot the ball, he passed the basketball to Kobe, and the meaning was obvious, that was to let him continue.
Kobe Bryant got the basketball, did not hesitate, continued a series of feints, and then leaned forward to lick the basket with one hand. Harden and Kobe Bryant are 100,000 feet apart from the inside. He didn't even touch the corner of the No. 24 shirt, and the opponent shook him, and then jumped directly to score.
"Kobe! Bryant! Score again! 93-96, we are only three points away from turning the tables around! "Bill. McDonald shouted loudly into the microphone, and that emotion was more invested than anyone else on the scene.
"Well done! Scald! Kobe Bryant patted Tang Qian's ass and said, this is a very common way of greeting in the NBA, usually representing friendliness and friendship. I'm sure you won't slide your hand twice in a row, will you, Mr. Black Mamba. Tang Qian also replied in a humorous way.
"Of course." Kobe Bryant smiled and said, "Come on, let's win this game!" β
"Okay~sir~" Tang Qiandao.
Kevin. Durant stared at Kobe Bryant and said in his heart, I don't believe I can't do you!
You're about to be 34, and it's time to abdicate!
The future of the NBA league, I'm Kevin. Durant is the king of scoring!
Tang Qian felt that the No. 35 of the Thunder team was gradually boiling, this season, he was already a quasi-superstar in the league, and he was only one MVP away from entering the hall of superstars, so it was not bad to start a surge. At least the current Lakers, there is no outside line that can stop him alone. Kevin. Durant made a figure-8 run, successfully shook off the slightly bulky Ci Shiping, and then outside the three-point line, he raised his hand to shoot.
Brush~
Basketball again! Durant's state in this section has gradually heated up!
Kobe Bryant faced Durant, his eyes flashed with a competitive light, although his personal strength has fallen off the supergiant altar, but the ceiling is there, and when it really explodes, the strength is definitely even more terrifying.
Brush~
Kobe Bryant was extremely arrogant this time, and he actually stood up to Kevin. Durant made a three-pointer, and after landing on the ground, he looked at his opponent for a few seconds, shook his head slightly, and remained silent.
96-99, Kevin. Durant has obviously forgotten who is the king of "answer.ball" in the post-Jordan era, and doing this in front of the Black Mamba is tantamount to getting an axe and asking for his own hardship.
Damn it! He is so arrogant! I'm going to give you back!
Durant still wanted to play against Kobe, but he also missed the ball, missed the shot in the open space, and the basketball collapsed out of the basket.
What the? Didn't enter? Durant looked at the basketball that bounced high, and was slightly distracted.
It's no wonder that Durant, in fact, playing continuous "answer.ball" is an extremely painful thing that tests people's psychological quality. His psychological quality is good, and on the outside, it is considered to be at the top level, but compared with Kobe, it is far worse. This black mamba is a "cold-blooded animal" by nature, his heart is harder than anyone else, even if he encounters No. 23 in Chicago, he is not scared, and still chooses to fight to the death.
Remember that Kobe Nike advertising quote?
βif.you.really.want.itοΌβ
"As long as the heart is decided!"
Tang Qian believes that this is the epitome of Kobe's career, he can fail, but he will never admit defeat, let alone fall!
At this point, Kobe Bryant and Jordan are not far behind.
And the two leading stars "answer.ball" against Biao rely not only on the technical level, but also on the mental level and even on the will level, which is the basis for high and low wins and losses. If your heart shakes slightly, then the opponent will overwhelm you, crush you, and crush you, which is the true essence of "answer.ball".
Durant ran into Kobe, and he really picked the wrong opponent.
Don't talk about other abilities, just say "answer.ball", he and Kobe Bryant are not in the same series.
Something in the future just confirms this.
This man's psychological quality is far from the pinnacle of history, and that is even worse.
"Grab the rebound !!" The head coach of the Thunder team was in a hurry, and he saw the loss of the ace matchup, so he immediately shouted loudly.
Ibaka and Perkins have tried their best to grab it, but helplessly, tonight's Tang Qian, who is in a burst state, is not at all what the two of them can resist now. Backcourt rebound, vigorously into his arms, this is Tang Qian's 16th rebound tonight.
"Tonight's rebounding, I'm contracted, you better go to the high position to pick up the leftovers~" After Tang Qian got this rebound, he spit lightly at the Thunder inside, that kind of momentum made the two of them feel powerless. It was as if for a moment, the person they were facing was not Tang Qian, but Ewing, but the "Admiral", but the "Big Dream" Olajuwon.
This is a kind of gap that can be seen and touched.
Kobe Bryant continued to hold the ball, and tonight, he was almost running for 50 points, and after a continuous tentative step, shaking the center of gravity of defender Harden, he immediately accelerated and flew into the interior of the Thunder.
"Bryant! You're so arrogant! Do you really think you're still at the top of your black mamba??? "The Thunder adopted a tactic of shrinking defense, and it seems that for Kobe, the Oklahoma people will hate it to the core.
If it weren't for the fact that this No. 24 suddenly went crazy and cut points like crazy, where would the Thunder team still be in a bitter battle?
"It's up to you! Can you stop me? "Kobe Bryant is also back to supergiant state tonight, so in the face of the Thunder's defensive lineup, he shouted loudly, and the arrogance in his tone was overflowing." Darn! It's your time today! See how you dodge! The two of the Thunder shrank, one hard top, and one waited for an opportunity to jump the block.
This is the old routine of the Thunder this season, and the regular season also made the old Kobe Bryant suffer a lot of losses.
But tonight, they were doomed.
I saw Kobe Bryant hit the inside, and then a side high throw, and the basketball crossed Sergi high. Ibaka's fingers flew to the rebound behind him. Wait a minute? Backboard??? What's going on??? Is it that Kobe Bryant didn't hold the ball and the basketball got out of his hands???
Of course not, Kobe Bryant's ball, it's a pass.
Throw the ball high and pass the ball.
Since Kobe Bryant flew solo, his inside high-tossing pass has been sealed.
Why is this happening? The reason is not difficult to understand, it is not that the Lakers do not have an offensive interior line, but that the Lakers' interior players lack the ability to fly high. In such a situation, Kobe Bryant's once proud high-throw pass gradually lost its usefulness. The large air relay of the O.K era has since disappeared from the Staples Center.
Passed so high? Who can get it?
Sergi. Before Ibaka could finish his thoughts, the sound of a basket exploding rushed into his eardrums.
Bang~
A tall yellow figure, upright, hung from the Thunder's basket.
"alley-oop ~ from Kobe Bryant and hot !!" Bill. McDonald's voice instantly resounded through the audience.
"See, old man! Did that empty dunk just now remind you of something? "Stu. Lanterz Road. "of.course~of.course~" Bill. McDonald said: "This is the beginning of the new century, the memory of Lakers fans! From the great duo, O.K! β
"That's right." Stu. Lanterz nodded: "It's really too much like the basket cooperation of the O.K combination, Kobe Bryant broke through, threw the ball high, the basketball crossed the opponent's defense, and then Shaq directly completed the top shot!" What an unforgettable period of time! β
"In terms of other abilities, he may be 108,000 miles behind Shaq, but just talking about flexibility, he has to surpass it! Even I think the pinnacle Shaq is not as hot as it gets! β
"I agree with that." Stu. Lanterz said: "Just talking about elasticity, Shaq is not as hot as hot." β
"haha~old man~ Maybe in the future, we'll have to talk about this matter often~" Bill. McDonald said: "In the sky above Staples, there is the possibility of gliding heavy tanks again!" β
98-99, only one point away, the Thunder team hurriedly called a timeout, because fools can see that the Thunder team's general trend is gone. Don't look at it now, they are still ahead, but in reality, it is only a matter of time before they are overtaken. Scott. In order to reverse this situation, Brooks has deployed another sophisticated tactic in order to improve the Thunder's offensive success rate.
"Later, Kevin, it's all up to you!" Scott. Brooks said: "You have to stabilize the team and avoid the team being nailed to the list of shame, understand! Kevin. Durant nodded and said, "I'll do it, Mr. Brooks!" β
At the end of the timeout, the two sides continued to play, and unlike the previous quarters, the Staples Center at this moment, with loud voices and shouts, looked like a "devil's home", which was very different from the desertion just now. The Thunder kicked off, Westbrook broke through, Kobe Bryant led the defense, after all, he hit this moment, and he didn't have any need to save physical energy, and in the last 1 minute, if he couldn't stand it, then the Lakers should have a long vacation.
"Kobe Bryant led Westbrook all over the court, and you can see that Kobe's defensive intensity is extremely strong, and Westbrook almost dribbled unsteadily several times and was punished for walking violations." Bill. McDonald said: "The Thunder still barely dribbled the ball over, Westbrook protected the ball on the spot, what was he doing?" Waiting for the block? Or do you want to wait for the run? The Thunder's players are all moving, it's a tactical ball, the Lakers should be careful! β
It's a tactical ball, and one of the most skillful offensive tactics the Thunder use. Its role is to cover the first attack point, so that the first attack point can get a good shot at the critical moment.
The Lakers players are also guarding tightly, because everyone knows that this ball is very important.
If the Thunder don't score, then the general trend of the game will completely fall to the Los Angeles side.
If the Thunder go in......
"Defend! Focus on defense! Don't leave anyone out! Pay attention to the change of guards! Pay attention to the defense! "Mike. Brown was off the court, shouting loudly at the top of his voice, the game had come to this point, and he didn't want to accept the bitter consequences of defeat.
All the members of the Lakers team have increased their defensive intensity.
However, the Thunder's tactics were designed to deal with this situation, so Durant ran a few times in a row, and then ran left and right, and finally got a good shooting space. If Ci Shiping was a few years younger, this ball would definitely be able to catch up, but now, he tried his best, but there was nothing he could do.
In full view, Kevin. Durant jumped to shoot, according to his open shot percentage, 17 feet, at least 70% or more, so Lakers fans, for a while, felt a wave of despair.
Who can stop him???
It's the voice of every fan on the spot.
The basketball shot, looking at Durant's posture, it is his usual rhythm, and the probability of scoring this ball will be greater than 70%.
And at this moment, the inside line of the Lakers, there is a figure, **** out.
Go straight in the direction of the basketball arc.
PS: It's too late to come back tonight, and the addition can only be tomorrow, thank you for your understanding~Woo woo~ (To be continued.) )
