The second half of the game began, and Kobe Bryant really began to take over the game.

In the first half he was just looking for a feeling, and it felt good.

Durant had three fouls in the first half and one foul on Kobe Bryant in the opening game.

After that, there was an offensive foul and a foul when defending Li Liang.

So in the third quarter, Brooks was even more afraid to let Durant defend Kobe.

The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and Westbrook used Ibaka's blocking to kill the inside, but the layup was blocked by Howard and Li Liang!

Howard blocked, Li Liang came over from the side and slapped Westbrook's ball down!

Since Li Liang's bounce has improved a little more, his blocking ability has become stronger.

In the past, I was able to cover one in two games, and now I can cover two in three games, and there is still a slight improvement.

The ball went out of bounds, and the Thunder's offensive time was only 5 seconds left, and Durant missed a three-point shot from the outside.

In the first half, Durant played very poorly, and his hand never shot.

Li Liang kept consuming Durant, and in the second half, the main defense against Durant became Ci Shiping.

Ci Shiping's defensive style is different from Li Liang's, he is fierce and domineering, and continues to put pressure on Durant.

Howard grabbed the backcourt rebound and still gave the ball to Kobe.

Bryant dribbled past half court, and as at the beginning of the first quarter, he didn't give the ball to Nash, but dribbled to 45 degrees himself, and his back directly forced Sefrosa to eat.

He squeezed in with his back at 45 degrees, and Ibaka and Durant waited for an opportunity to come up and make up for it.

But Li Liang's three-point threat from the outside is great.

Bryant finally opted for a shoulder shake feint, and Sefrosa thought he was going to turn to the baseline, but Bryant turned to the middle.

Then the shooting feint shook off Ibaka, stepped forward, and hit the board throw.

The Lakers are in a one-and-four-look mode, and the problem is that Kobe Bryant can score, and that's a good shot.

Next, Bryant showed the Thunder's young men what an offensive kaleidoscope is.

In particular, Kobe's various shooting feints made the Thunder defenders unguardable.

You think he's going to turn right, but he's actually turning left.

You think he's going to lean back, but he's going to walk up and down.

You think he's going to pull out, but he breaks through and hits the inside line 45 degrees.

Although he is 34 years old, Kobe's speed and explosiveness have dropped greatly, but his skills have been perfected.

Kobe Bryant got more rest in the regular season, and played more well-groomed in the first two rounds, so his physical condition was quite good.

As for why the last game of various irons, the regular operation is normal.

And in this game, once Kobe Bryant starts to score, he will also start passing.

Li Liang hit two three-pointers in the first half, and in the third quarter, he received two assists from Kobe Bryant and hit two three-pointers.

On the defensive end, Li Liang followed Mike Brown's instructions to help protect Nash and deal with Westbrook.

Westbrook's offensive skills are still a lot worse than Kobe's.

Once the feel and rhythm are destroyed, it will enter self-explosion mode, no matter how you throw, no matter how you don't enter, he will have to throw.

Durant, who was originally not feeling good and was still plagued by fouls, had no chance to regain his offensive feeling.

He can't get the ball!

After a back-and-forth in the third quarter, the Lakers stretched the score to 11 points.

The Thunder called a timeout, and Brooks wasn't feeling good.

When the strength of the two teams is evenly matched, the coach's targeting and adjustment in the first few games is particularly important.

If the winner cannot be determined in five games, then the coaches in the next few games will run out of tricks, and the two sides will enter the bayonet stage.

At that time, it will depend on the player's own form and mental will.

Now in Game 2, Brooks still has room to adjust.

While they have the advantage in their first win, who doesn't want to keep winning?

Brooks replaced Severosa with Kevin Martin to give the team a stronger offensive roster.

Martin played well against Spurs in the semi-finals.

While his ability and performance can't match Harden's, his shooting and foul-making abilities still play a role.

Brooks hopes Martin's appearance will improve the Thunder's offense.

On the Lakers' side, O'Neal Jr. came on the court to replace Howard.

Brooks' idea is good, but the question is, even if Martin comes up and improves the Thunder's offense, what about their defense?

Brooks pinned his hopes on Kobe Bryant to blow himself up in the third quarter like the previous one, but it wasn't Kobe Bryant to blow himself up in a row.

Not only did Bryant not blow himself up, but in the second half of the third quarter, he continued to stay on the court and play an efficient offense.

Without Sefrosa, the Thunder chose to let the energetic Westbrook defend Bryant.

After all, Westbrook played as a shooting guard in college and was known for his defense.

But Kobe Bryant doesn't care what kind of defender you have, and I feel that I can't stop it at all!

After Martin came on the court, he missed an empty three-point shot from the outside, and Li Liang got a rebound in the backcourt.

Kobe Bryant took the ball across half court, and on the Thunder's side, Westbrook and Martin came over to wrap it up.

But Kobe Bryant made a clever turn to get rid of it, and Li Liang came over to make a cover, and the basket was empty.

Ibaka rushed over to make up for the defense, Kobe Bryant jumped against Ibaka, a fold in the air changed hands, and a backhand layup!

Stepups cheered, how long has it been since I've seen a goal like Kobe Bryant?

Fold it and change hands to the basket, this old bone can still be folded, thinking that the waist is rusty.

Kobe Bryant's feeling on the offensive end is getting better and better, Brooks is in a hurry, and if he continues to play like this, he will definitely be beaten to death by Kobe.

No way, the Thunder is about to start multi-person packing.

The Thunder first made a series of outside passes, and Durant received the ball at the top of the arc and directly pulled out a three-point shot.

Then, the Thunder continued to double or even triple Kobe Bryant, and this defensive strategy was the same as the previous game.

Kobe Bryant continued to hold the ball by himself, and Lakers fans were nervous, and they were about to start again?

But this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly made a pass that didn't look at people in the corner position, and the ball went to Li Liang, who cut into the basket!

Li Liang received the ball and jumped lightly, and won a basket with his right hand!

The Thunder's defense was all attracted by Kobe, and Li Liang easily cut in to score points.

Kobe Bryant started passing again!

There's no way, Kobe Bryant is also afraid of being scolded.

Then, Durant hit another three-pointer from the outside.

Durant's indiscriminate offense is really powerful.

Bryant immediately returned the color.

He accepted the pass and hit it in the low post, and the Thunder's bag went up again.

But Kobe Bryant chose to pass the ball again, Li Liang received the ball at 45 degrees, and hit it one step away from the three-point line!

Answer ball！

Bryant seemed to be O'Neal, attracting two or three defenders in the low post, and then passing the ball to the perimeter player to hit a three-pointer.

This simple tactical system is the most effective and deadly.

Put your opponent in a dilemma, to pack or not to pack?

The bag was shot three points, and the non-bag was singled all the time.

Kobe Bryant and Li Liang are in good shape tonight, Li Liang has made 5 of 6 three-point shots, and any one of you will die.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 89-78, and the Lakers still led by 11 points.

In the entire third quarter, the Thunder only scored 23 points, mainly relying on Durant's efficient offense.

Durant is really good, and when he was trapped in the first two quarters and the third quarter started to go badly, he felt like he was coming.

Throw it outside the three-point line, throw it and get it in, his height, arm span and feel are indeed a historical talent.

Li Liang no longer defended Durant alone in the third quarter, but focused on assisting defense, not giving Durant a chance to break through.

But just like that, Durant's outside line also helped the Thunder bite the difference tightly and maintain it at about 10 points.

So in the fourth quarter, the Lakers still couldn't relax.

With the Thunder's offensive approach, maybe it feels like a wave of rush will wipe out the point difference.

Mike Brown is certainly not comfortable with the 11-point difference, this is not playing the Clippers, this is playing the Thunder.

And Brown was prepared, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he once again replaced the twin tower combination of Howard and Gasol.

Then with Li Liang, anyway, Li Liang basically didn't rest much tonight, and he used it all the time.

After the Twin Towers came on the court, the referees were also very cooperative, and Howard and Gasol caused consecutive defensive fouls on the Thunder on the inside and went to the free throw line.

Howard's free throws tonight were more aggressive, and he didn't miss two free throws, at least one.

Howard kind of found the feeling of being the No. 1 center in the Magic, and he fought hard in the playoffs.

After receiving Li Liang's ground-hitting pass, he jumped up in the middle, facing Perkins and Collison, and dunked the basket!

It also caused a foul on Perkins.

Perkins looked indignant, complained to the referee, and suffered a technical foul.

Anyway, Perkins is like that, no matter how the referee blows, he will always have a bitter face, as if people owe him a million.

And Howard is in stark contrast.

The second lineup, led by the twin towers, stretched the difference to about 15 points.

Seeing this, Brooks had a little idea of giving up on this game, and he did not advance Durant, but continued to press the time until 8 minutes of the fourth quarter.

At this time, Kobe Bryant had rested enough.

So far, Bryant has 33 points and 8 assists, and he has only used 17 shots.

Efficient, making Kobe Bryant terrifying.

As soon as Kobe Bryant came on the court, he received the ball on the outside and Li Liang made a cover cooperation, and hit a three-point shot from the outside!

This goal stretched the difference between the two sides to 18 points!

36 points, sentenced the Thunder to death.

"Kobe Bryant tonight, in the way he does best, took out the Thunder."
