Chapter 162: In excellent condition

It is worthy of the duel between the first and second in the West, and it was a wonderful opening game.

In many games ahead, the Lakers started with Howard on the inside.

Tonight was different, it was all from the outside, and it worked well.

If it weren't for that, the Thunder would have had such a good opening three-point shot, three three-pointers thrown in, and Howard would have been able to chisel back the score for four rounds.

Looking at Howard's current form, opposite Perkins' Sima face and Ibaka's block, can you chisel into four rounds in a row?

Not to mention four, it's hard to get one.

It took several rounds to open the game before Howard finally got a shot.

Li Liang showed mercy and passed a ball to Howard, but in the face of Perkins, it seemed that he couldn't sit down.

So, Howard turned to the basket and came up with a Duncan-esque 45-degree scratcher!

In fact, Howard practiced this trick.

After losing the 2009 Finals, he practiced his 45-degree wipe shot that summer.

I used it in the first few games of the new season, but I could score a few more.

However, it can only be played when the defensive intensity does not come up in the opening game, and it is useless at the critical moment.

The ball was thrown out of order, the ball hit the board, but you bounced back and didn't touch the basket!

Fortunately, Howard grabbed the rebound, and there was chaos on the inside, with Perkins on top and Ibaka coming over to strike.

Howard can't just push Perkins away like he did in '09 and '10.

He sensibly distributed the ball to Li Liang in the bottom corner.

Li Liang made another shooting feint, but this time he failed to deceive Durant.

Durant pounced, braked sharply, and didn't jump.

Didn't jump? I didn't shoot if I didn't jump, and gave the ball to Nash.

Nash was empty, and the Westbrooks defense was patronizing to watch the game.

Nash received the ball and made another three-point shot without hesitation.

Again!

In the first quarter, the Lakers made four of five three-pointers.

Nash was pulled up for two three-pointers against Westbrook.

But so what, it doesn't matter, I got it back on the offensive end.

At 14:9, the Lakers took the initiative on the court, while the Thunder had not opened except for three three-pointers.

I thought that the Thunder would turn around and let Durant play one.

As a result, Perkins responded with the ball high, Durant cut empty, and Li Liang was very dead and had no chance.

So Perkins shot directly in the high post......

What's the operation? Do you go well with Howard?

Howard's board-wiping shot hit the board, and Perkins' high-post jumper didn't touch anything.

The rebound was also accepted by Li Liang.

Durant looked a little disgruntled and complained to Perkins.

But you hold back, the Lakers' counterattack is coming.

Nash held the ball and pushed the fast break, and the Thunder's retreat was very fast.

But Nash always had a way, and when he hit the middle, he made a quiet ground-hitting pass to Howard, who was following him.

Howard catches the ball and cuts in to make a layup, which is the kind of ball that goes over and dunks.

As a result, he made a layup and was followed by Ibaka with a volleyball cap!

Warcraft, it's really not the same Warcraft as before.

But the Lakers' offense wasn't over yet, and the volleyball hat flew right into the hands of Kobe Bryant on the outside.

Bryant took the ball and shot a feint to shake off Sefrosha, dribbled inside, and hit an unguarded mid-range jumper.

You were deceived by Kobe's three-point feints in the bottom corner, what happened to you letting him shoot? Believe it or not, he will show you.

The Thunder's outside line was shot with four three-pointers, and there was clearly some noise.

At 16:9, the Lakers' offense became smoother and smoother, three points, and counterattacked.

Brooks didn't feel good and called the first timeout of the first quarter.

When the two sides ended, Kobe beckoned to Li Liang and Nash, and the three of them got together and whispered for a while to encourage each other.

We started well tonight and we have to keep it up.

Li Liang thought to himself, as long as you are not iron, the boss, you can win this ball tonight!

But it's harder for you to make Kobe Bryant not iron than to let Jackie Chan not soak in horses.

I just hope that the iron ones are not so serious and don't compete.

After the timeout, the Thunder immediately made adjustments on the offensive end, and after almost five minutes of play, Durant made one?

Nima, Perkins both shot one, don't let your scoring champion attack?

Sure enough, Durant hit a mid-range pull-up jumper after receiving a pass from Westbrook on the outside.

Li Liang didn't have a way to defend this ball, and he tried his best to prevent it, and people could score.

The arms were too long, and it made him find his shooting rhythm, which was inexplicable.

Coming back, Kobe Bryant found an opportunity on the outside, and I think it's good, I'll vote again!

"Bang!" Missed, here we go.

Perkins got the backcourt rebound and started handing over the ball to Durant.

Li Liang began to stick to the defense before half time, and he couldn't let Durant take the ball too comfortably.

One of the tricks that Durant is very good at is to dribble in the backcourt and rush forward, accelerate after half court, and rush to the three-point line to pull up a three-pointer.

This kind of ball he found the rhythm of dribbling and shooting, and the shooting rate was quite high.

Don't use any tactics, just face your face.

So, Li Liang must prepare in advance, which is what Mike Brown reminded him.

Defensively, Mike Brown is still useful.

Seeing that Li Liang was sticking tightly, Durant slowly dribbled sideways to test the ball, and Ibaka came over to block and dismantle.

Li Liang's attention was focused on Durant, and as a result, Ibaka pushed him away like a bulldozer.

Durant strides the ball to the inside, causing Howard to foul.

Li Liang was furious all of a sudden, aren't you moving cover?

If you block and tear down the wall, you will make a wall, and the wall of your house will move by itself?

Li Liang beeped at the referee.

The referee listened...... Hey, it seems to make sense, what to do, coax first, and reason with him.

Durant hit both free throws, 16-13, and the Thunder were catching up with the score.

As soon as the free throws were finished, Nash immediately served quickly in the backcourt and gave it to Howard!

“GoGoGo!” Nash yelled at Howard.

As soon as Howard saw that Perkins was still standing behind him and didn't move, he dribbled forward.

Li Liang had already rushed to the front first, and this time it was Howard's turn to pass the ball to Li Liang.

After Li Liang received the ball, he jumped directly to the basket, and Ibaka followed the big hat behind!

But the referee blew the whistle and the ball interfered with the ball.

Not only that, but Ibaka was also whistled for a foul and sent Li Liang to the free throw line.

Video replay, the ball did touch the rebound first, and Ibaka followed up with the block.

Li conscience said, Lao Tzu knows that you have itchy hands and want to block, so I will smash the rebound, and if you touch it, it will interfere with the ball.

This time offensive, Nash and Li Liang are all thieves, and even Howard is smart.

Immediately grasped Nash's intentions and sulked behind Perkins.

Since the decline in physical fitness can't help you, then let's play IQ is not bad.

Li Liang hit a steady free throw, 19:13, a three-pointer, and the difference reached 6 points.

The home fans were silent a lot, this Lakers played well, and it felt different from last season.

This No. 28 Chinese player feels so annoying.

Not only Thunder fans feel so, but Thunder players feel so even more.

The ball was in Westbrook's hands again, and with Ibaka's block, Ci Shiping and Nash went with Westbrook.

You can't let him shoot threes anymore, and it's dangerous to get his grip up.

Westbrook immediately turned back and gave the ball to the high post Ibaka, which was Ibaka's point.

Li Liang watched Ibaka's empty shot and yelled: "Grab the rebound!" ”

Ibaka is a dog, and you grab the rebound before I shoot?

"Bang", it really didn't go in, and it smashed on the neck of the basket.

Howard got the backcourt rebound and handed it to Kobe.

Bryant passed halftime, and this time he calmed down a lot, knowing that the lead was six points, and it was a good opportunity to hit the Thunder.

He observed the defense on the court, because the three-point shooting was continuous, and the Thunder's defense was very wide.

Li Liang came over to block and dismantle Kobe, this kid is smart, he knows it's time to break through.

Kobe Bryant took advantage of Li Liang's blocking, smashed in the middle, and faced Perkins with a high throw!

The best basket protector on the Thunder interior line is Ibaka, but Ibaka was taken out by Li Liang.

In the face of the slow-paced Perkins, Kobe Bryant was not afraid at all.

With two points, 21:13, the Lakers were extremely efficient on the offensive end and very targeted defensively.

Brooks kept shouting on the sidelines, and the Thunder got off to a bit loose today.

They had just won six in a row, and the team was full of morale but not focused enough.

Without Harden this season, Brooks has fewer cards in his hand.

Although Martin can score, he is too far behind Harden in terms of control of rhythm and organization.

The team unexpectedly fell behind, and Westbrook stepped up again.

The Thunder made a fake block on the outside, Westbrook saw the gap in the inside, and an acceleration rushed in!

Then facing Howard, without any hesitation, he jumped up suddenly, a tomahawk split!

Ignited the entire arena!

Howard couldn't help this shot, Westbrook had already rushed up, and he could only watch him dunk.

The outside line Nash really can't keep up, and he can pass with one acceleration.

Li Liang served in the backcourt and said, "Get it back on offense." ”

Nash nodded, I can't defend against me, but I can attack.

The outside line is Li Liang's blocking and dismantling, and Li Liang sets the blocking and dismantling point very far away.

Two steps from the three-point line, but it's his three-point point.

If the thunder dares to release, he dares to vote.

Ibaka knew that Li Liang would shoot a long-range three-pointer, so he didn't dare to wrap up Nash.

Nash also got inside after the pick-and-roll, but he didn't dunk.

He looked around as he dribbled, and the Thunder players' attention was on him.

But Nash didn't pass the ball, and he suddenly made a stop-and-go throw!

Hit a two-pointer and found one back.

Kobe Bryant and Nash, the two old guys, are in great shape.

The excellent performance of these three people also gave Howard and Ci Shiping more space.

Ci Shiping and Howard also completed a classic hand-to-hand and empty cut in the positional battle, Ci Shiping received Howard's pass into the interior line, and pushed Durant to make a layup.

Everything is as Li Liang thought, the Lakers can only open the inside line if the outside line opens, not the other way around.

The rhythm of the game is all in Li Liang's control.

Mike Brown as head coach is still sitting firmly on the pitch, "The tactics played well tonight, as I expected. ”

He didn't remember what he had envisioned.
