Chapter 317: Brooks' Miscalculation

As soon as Brooks saw Li Liang shoot a three-pointer, he felt a sudden burst in his heart and felt the pill.

Today's first goal from the start of the game, Brooks looked at Li Liang unpleasantly.

No way, this guy can do something.

Sure enough, he really made trouble, and the entire battle plan of the Thunder in the first half was destroyed by Li Liang, and then he was led by the nose.

At halftime, Brooks felt that the focus of defense should still be on Kobe Bryant for the sake of safety.

Bryant's outburst in the last game really impressed Brooks.

Once Kobe Bryant's point is opened, it is really devastating, especially when teammates can throw his pass in.

At this time, the Lakers will be difficult to stop, unless Durant and Westbrook double burst out and score 80 points.

That's it, it's 1 point less than the peak Kobe.

So, at halftime, Brooks refocused his defense on Kobe.

The first half didn't work, but it can't be in the second half, you Kobe Bryant is still hidden, right?

In the entire first half, Bryant made 3 of 7 shots and scored only 8 points.

Whether it is the number of shots or the number of points, it is not Kobe at all.

thought that Kobe Bryant was going to explode in the third quarter, but Li Liang scored a three-pointer, which made Brooks start to get nervous.

On the Thunder's side, Durant took the ball on the outside, and he also broke through the middle to tear up the defense.

Then distribute the ball to Westbrook on the wing.

Westbrook was calm after receiving the ball, didn't throw three-pointers, and after a bit of bounge, he took a step inside, found an open space with the help of Perkins' cover, and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Thunder outside line king bombed, playing quite calmly.

The Lakers' side played very simply, it was still Kobe Bryant who dribbled, and the Thunder players followed the coach's instructions, as in the first quarter, as soon as Kobe Bryant got the ball, three people surrounded him.

Kobe Bryant started to push his back inside from outside the three-point line, and then turned around and slid inside, and the Thunder immediately contracted.

As a result, 45 degrees came out of the gap again, Li Liang ran to the empty position, received Kobe's pass and hit another three-pointer!

He still didn't use props, this big vacancy, what props did he use?

Brooks didn't feel good, it wasn't right, and he called a timeout.

It must be changed, and someone must focus on Li Liang.

The Sudden Death Law Alliance knows that he must be cut off for three points.

If Li Liang used props, it would be terrible, a pause would be a minute or two, and the time would run out.

But in the two three-point shots, Li Liang didn't exert any strength at all, and it was useless to hold the props in his hands.

In the first two games, Li Liang's three-point shooting was good, but there was no situation of four or five in a row like the regular season.

Brooks was careless and didn't look for anyone to target.

Back on the court at the end of the timeout, Brooks made a set-up for Sephorosa to go to the court for Refreshment.

Westbrook went to defend Kobe.

As for Durant, continuing to let him stare at Ci Shiping is basically equivalent to not defending and focusing on offense.

Sefrosa was taught by Li Liang in the first game.

The Swiss defensively is in place, with clean movements and nimble feet, and is an important defensive gate for the Thunder on the outside.

But Sephorosa has a fatal flaw in the face of Li Liang, that is, his height is not enough.

Li Liang expected Brooks to use Sefrosa against him, and he looked up at the clock, and the third quarter went on for 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

If Brooks uses Durant to deal with Li Liang, Li Liang will still be more worried because he is afraid of interference.

Since it's Sephorosa, then he's not welcome.

……

The game continued, and as soon as the Thunder came back from a timeout, Westbrook made a direct pull-up jumper from the outside.

Nash did his best to interfere with the ball, making Westbrook's shot a little deformed.

missed, Howard took the backcourt rebound.

The Thunder's offense is like that, a long timeout is passed, and coming back is a dry pull.

I don't know what this pause is for.

Howard handed the ball to Kobe Bryant and continued to dribble through the halfcourt.

Kobe Bryant played with restraint tonight, taking few shots and focusing on defense, playmaking and moving the ball.

In the playoffs and the Thunder last year, Kobe Bryant, who was in a declining state, continued to play in the past, and almost single-handedly sent the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals.

Kobe Bryant is actually in better shape this year than last year, but he has controlled himself because he feels that Bruce Lee is feeling hot.

As soon as Kobe Bryant crossed the half, he first used Howard's cover to cut into the three-point line with a serpentine dribble, disrupting the Thunder's defense while looking for opportunities to pass.

He was looking for Li Liang, and he was also paying attention to Nash in the bottom corner.

Howard went inside, but Bryant was reluctant to give Howard a drop pass or a through ball.

Because the Thunder's interior interception ability is particularly strong, it is easy to drop the ball inside, which is basically a mistake.

So far in the series, the Lakers have basically not played flight attendants much, and they have no chance.

Bryant wandered between the three-point line and the three-second zone for two seconds before discovering that Li Liang was being targeted to death by Sephorosa.

So he followed the strategy and gave the ball to Nash, who came to pick it up.

Nash received the ball and rushed back inside and circled around in the three-second zone.

As a result, Perkins was afraid that Nash would pass the ball to Howard, and people ran to defend Howard, but the basket was vacated?

Seeing Perkins give this big gift, Nash didn't hesitate to turn around and get an empty basket.

The fans at the Thunder scene are blinded, what is this defense?

Brooks sat on the bench and covered his face, Lao Tzu called a timeout, and this is the result?

In fact, I don't blame the Thunder players, this game has been played so far, and all the pre-game plans and drills have been nullified.

How can there be no loopholes in the temporary defensive strategy, and the opponent is an old fritter like Kobe Nash.

Li Liang looked at it, didn't he need Lao Tzu to take drugs?

Could it be that I am the legendary strategic nuclear weapon, as long as I stand there, even if I do nothing, I can change the situation and create deterrence?

Li Liangzheng was complacent, Durant received Westbrook's pass from the outside, a three-point shot, and hit the basket!

In the third quarter, the Thunder's scoring was unreasonable.

That's how they attack.

After the goal, Durant glanced at Li Liang twice and spit out the tooth tray in his mouth.

Seeing this, Li Liang knew that it was time for him to make a move.

He went to the backcourt to serve, handed the ball to Kobe, and said, "Boss, pass the ball to me!" ”

didn't wait for Kobe Bryant to respond, and ran towards the frontcourt.

The one who can shout at Kobe Bryant and let him pass the ball is Li Liang.

Li Liang stood 45 degrees away on the right, and Sephorosa clung closely.

Even if Li Liang is two steps away from the three-point line, Sephorosa is inseparable.

He knew that Li Liang's effective range was three steps away from the three-point line.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant certainly didn't pass the ball.

Sephorosa was pulled apart like this by Li Liang, and the flanks were completely wide open.

Kobe Bryant accelerated, used Li Liang as a cover, and after hitting 45 degrees, he shook off Westbrook and hit an easy pull-up jump shot.

"Boss, did I let you pass the ball to me?" Li Liang asked.

Kobe shrugged his shoulders and shouted at Li Liang: "Good tactics!" Tricked them! ”

What Kobe Bryant means is that what Li Liang said just now is actually a fraud on the Thunder players.

"What bullshit, I wasn't heard by the Thunder players at all, okay? Kobe Bryant will start to find a reason. Li Liang shook his head and could only defend himself.

In fact, Kobe Bryant's choice just now was not wrong, and he keenly observed the loopholes on the defensive end of the Thunder because of too much focus on Li Liang.

Brooks clearly miscalculated.

The first point of his miscalculation is that he should not easily shake his strategy, because he was afraid of Li Liang's three-point threat, he changed the position and repeatedly disrupted the pre-game deployment.

This is a relatively rare mistake made by NBA coaches, many coaches are called "stubborn" by fans, just because they know that once the strategy is set, even if there is a problem, it cannot be easily shaken.

Because the chaos caused by this will make the team mess up.

The second point of Brooks's miscalculation is that he thinks of the horror of Li Liang's "sudden death method", but ignores the experience of several other old balls.

Once they spot the Thunder's defensive insanity, they'll take the opportunity to strike at it.

Nash, Kobe, they've always been masters when it comes to reading defense.

In contrast, Lakers head coach Mike Brown did not miscalculate.

He didn't calculate anything, so naturally there was no miscalculation.

There are no tricks to win, and there are tricks, which is really high.

Brooks had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to fight.

And Li Liang is still in a hurry, when will Lao Tzu's props be available?
