Chapter 733: The King of Singles (Big Chapter Supplement~)
In the first quarter, both sides showed strong strength. Unlike the San Antonio Spurs, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a more aggressive style of play, more impact, and more direct lethality. In the past battles with them, the Lakers would often get into foul trouble inside. The reason is that these "flying beasts" are too terrifying.
In terms of the ability to impact the basket, they are worse than the Heat in a single point, but in terms of the whole, they are only strong and not weak.
Because they have 5 positions, they can all play the "explosives pack play", making it difficult to parry.
Fortunately, Tang Qian is still in the state of "demigod", otherwise it is estimated that he will fall into the quagmire of fouls early.
The Lakers scored 21 points in the first quarter, of which Kobe Bryant scored 10 points and Tang Qian scored 4 points, which doesn't seem high, but this is the score of orthodox positional warfare. The Thunder team has actually always wanted to play fast, but the defensive counterattack can't be played, the impact on the basket is extremely poor, and the low-post rebounds are squeezed, which makes the Thunder team, which has been smooth sailing this season, suffer a big test.
The Spurs are very cunning, and the first two games of this season against the Thunder were the first "injury" of the main team, and the second was "rotation", so the Thunder team still does not know the true strength of the Spurs this season. I thought that as the outside world said, the GDP mix had completely aged and was no longer threatening.
This is, of course, a big mistake.
The Thunder scored just 15 points in the first quarter, which was the lowest score in the first quarter of the season for the Thunder, and the overall shooting percentage was less than 3 percent. It's not unusual to get this data.
Why is this happening? It's because they can't play the "sports bombing" they are good at in the first quarter! The reason why the defensive counterattack can't be played! Again, the Thunder are strong, but they've never been suitable for positional warfare! "Rely on talent and individual ability to solve problems", there is only one Thunder team in the whole league. Now, though, it's time to add a Laker.
Because the Lakers have played like this this season, even more simply and roughly.
"~ Is that Oriental addict addicted? Why is it so fierce? Can he cover my kind of shot? Why didn't he go to heaven??? "Kendrick of the Thunder during the break. Perkins complained.
"He's just hanging on to the Lakers' basket all the time, okay! This guy is simply everywhere! I can't remember a single shot where I couldn't see his palm!! Ibaka also vomited bitterness, he has now given up the idea of comparing blocks with Tang Qian, because with an average of 7+ per game, even if he doubles the strength, it is a dream data.
"It's really hard to deal with, he's blocking too strong under the basket and it's too much interference, even if he forcibly changes the rhythm to shoot, it's hard to guarantee a goal." Sabo. Soflosa also said that he just had a particularly good opportunity to shoot under the basket, but he was destroyed by the opponent, which is really not the ability of ordinary centers.
"That's it! Stop whining! The Lakers' weaknesses are now known to the whole league! Everyone pay attention, don't attack No. 24 and No. 29, except for them, the rest of the Lakers are people who are very fragile defensively, start from those three points! Do you understand everything? "Thunder head coach Scott. Brooks Road.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of them, I'm the best this season! LeBron is going to give me concessions! "It can be seen that this season Kevin. Durant began to gradually change, and his original obedient image of "Du Schoolbag" began to slowly change and disintegrate.
Well, if you look at his big mouth in the future, you will know that the front is just his "disguise".
He was never a "school bag".
It's just that the strength was not enough before, so I pretended to be low-key.
Now he thinks that his own era is coming, so he doesn't need to disguise and cover it up so much.
Anyway, as long as you become the strongest, you can block any saliva!
This may seem extreme, but there is nothing wrong with it, everything in the competitive world is based on results and performance.
You are the strongest, and of course you can have no scruples.
It's like Michael in those years. Jordan, Bird, Johnson, they are all kings of their time.
Durant feels that he is about to enter their field, so the "big mouth" personality is becoming more and more difficult to suppress.
"That's right, Kevin is right, we're going to win the championship, we're going to get revenge on the Miami team, how can we lose to a 'one-and-a-half' team? We're going to win! "Russell. Westbrook said, and the "one-and-a-half-man-and-a-half" team is now ESPN giving the Lakers a "nickname", ironically saying that they are actually strong and vulnerable on the outside.
On the Lakers side, Mike. D'Antoni asked the "one and a half" people: "Bryant, hot, how are you feeling, do you want to come down and rest a little?" Slow down? ”
"I don't need to." Bryant shook his head.
"I'm fine, sir, I can continue." Tang Qian also said.
"But now we are still ahead, if we don't rest now, then I'm afraid that the back will be ......" Before D'Antoni finished speaking, Kobe Bryant interjected: "Then don't rest!" This game, we want to win! Extend the winning streak that you won't expect! ”
"Yes, sir, you don't know what team the Thunder team is, this score difference, give them 2 minutes, no, I'm afraid 1 minute will overtake the past. Rather than that, let's hold on first. And in the second quarter, Bryant and I will teach them a hard lesson. Trust us, sir. Tang Qian's deliberate performance in the first quarter was not particularly good, because he was ready to kill and show his firepower in the second quarter.
But he didn't expect the Thunder team to be so "stubborn" and not give him a chance to "brush up"~
"Well, now I don't have anything else to do, it's all up to you, Bryant, hot."
"Well, don't worry, sir, we'll sort it out."
Mike. D'Antoni nodded absent-mindedly because he didn't think the Lakers could beat this extremely strong Thunder team.
The second-best team in the league, do you think it's a cabbage? And the Lakers have too many holes.
The "one-and-a-half-man" team, this can't hold up.
After all, basketball is still five people.
"Huh? They didn't actually make a substitution? Don't they rest? Westbrook sat on the sidelines and watched the Lakers' Nos. 24 and No. 29 reappear, wondering. In the last few games, both of them have played extremely high playing time, unless the game is spent. The Thunder's assistant coach answered the question of "Wei Shao".
"Really? Kobe Bryant, when is the body so good? He was a little skeptical.
on the field.
"You don't want to change people?" Durant doesn't understand the Lakers' operating model, but he doesn't think it's very scientific, because most people are far less efficient than 36 minutes in 48 minutes, and they are so messy that they are prone to injury. Today's players, who will have trouble with a lot of American knives?
If you're injured, there's no money to be made.
So how?
Durant hits the shot, brushes ~, and the basketball goes into the net accurately.
Durant's scoring ability this season is indeed extremely strong, and the 32+ scoring champion of the original time and space is not covered.
But this season, he can only be in second place.
Because there is also a scoring champion who averages 40+ per game is suppressing him.
If this season's Durant is already a mature super scorer, then this season's Kobe Bryant is true. Super scorer.
After all, with an average of 40+ per game, this is Michael. What Jordan didn't do, this year's coincidence, made No. 24 crazy. This visual impact is strong to the sky. Basically, Kobe Bryant scored only 40 points this season, which is at the level of "only scored", and if it is less than 40 points, it is "abnormal performance". Although there is still an insurmountable gap with Zhang Dashuai's average of 50+ per game, this is also the strongest scoring performance since there is a complete video record.
Not one of them.
So soon, Kobe Bryant returned one back, brushed ~, and hit the shot.
The two of them quickly entered the state and began to fight each other.
And because Westbrook was resting off the court, Bryant could go straight to defend the former.
Many people will have the impression that Durant VS Kobe Bryant is an advantage, but ...... Well, but, again, the data speaks, which is extremely incorrect. The main source should be Kobe Bryant's last playoff game, and he always played iron continuously in the final moments, and the opponent happened to be the Thunder, so it gave people a false impression. In addition, Kobe Bryant during that period was really limited in ability, and he was not as good as Kobe Bryant in the 12-13 season. As for the peak Kobe, it is even worse than 108,000 miles, first of all, the breakthrough ability and strength and physical fitness are greatly reduced, and the courage of the year is long gone.
There's a misalignment problem here, so the matchup data is not reliable, so if you want to figure this out, you need to watch a lot of footage and look for it one game at a time. Fortunately, someone did this "" thing. From the 07-08 season until Kobe Bryant's retirement, every single match with Durant was sent. For example, in the 07-08 season, this was Kobe Bryant, who was still at his peak, against rookie Du, and in a wave of 11-16, he stunned the opponent. What about the latter? Just 0-4. None of them have been scored once, so there is no doubt that Kobe Bryant slaughtered Durant, or anyone.
Except for the missing 1 game in the 08-09 season, the missing 2 games in the 09-10 season, and the missing 1 game in the 10-11 season, the rest are all completely recorded (this is really awesome, too much work, applaud this awesome character). What are the last stats? Kobe Bryant shot 41 of 80 singles from Durant, and Durant shot 17 of 36 singles from the field, with the latter shooting 47.2% and the former 51.3%, each with one decimal place, which is fair and impartial. The shooting percentage of the two sides in their careers, Kobe Bryant won. This is very consistent with Kobe's career's super high singles ratio, Durant's is also very consistent, and the huge singles get a higher shooting percentage, which is also a Kobe characteristic mentioned before. And this feature is not necessarily something that Jordan can do.
Of course, if he can do it, he is the only one.
And if you study it carefully, Kobe Bryant's 11-12 season was the season when he played very stinky and was hacked, and he only shot 2 of 11 against Durant. This can also explain from the side that Kobe Bryant that season was really not good, and he didn't play well, so it's no wonder that others are no wonder. But in the 12-13 season, back to the past, Kobe Bryant singled Durant again 7-7, and Durant singled Kobe Bryant only 2-7. But later, the cliff landslided, and after the serious injury, Kobe Bryant hit a 9-24 shot, and Durant began to catch up, coming with a wave of 7-11.
So whether it is his career or the strongest peak, Kobe Bryant's single Durant is stronger than Durant's single Kobe, and the peak is even more bullying, domination of the offensive and defensive ends. At this point, what Durant is tall and has long arms, and his physical condition suppresses Kobe, it is all impression flow and, because there is a technical emperor who has come out and used massive GIFs and data to put an end to all these rumors.
And...... If you take a closer look, you will find that in the 13-14 season, Kobe Bryant was reimbursed, and there was no counterpoint against the Thunder, and in the 14-15 season, Kobe and Durant were both reimbursed, and there was still no counterpoint, and in the 15-16 season alone, Durant went to Kobe Bryant to fight 35 times offensively and defensively. Among them Kobe Bryant 9-24, he 7-11. Here's a question, why did Durant and Kobe Bryant go head-to-head so many times this season? More than all previous seasons combined?
If conspiracy theories are a little bit, it's really chilling.
But in any case, the heads-up data will not be faked, and all of them have been posted on the Internet one by one, so Durant is indeed suspected of "bullying" in the end. Because he'd never done that before.
But even so, Bryant still won the heads-up kill in his career. And to figure out that after Durant joined the NBA in the 07-08 season, the Lakers' No. 24 was gradually no longer at its peak. What if he ran into the pinnacle of Kobe Bryant?
What's more, this Kobe Bryant at the moment, he is an all-round super-peak Kobe Bryant, fighting Durant? Hey, hey, hey.
The two got entangled, Kobe kept spewing trash talk with Durant, the two in front could still have dealings, and the back No. 24 directly began to suppress the Thunder No. 35. And it is the suppression of the offensive and defensive ends.
Durant weighed 237 pounds this season, which is about 20 pounds more than when he first joined the league, but the current Kobe is not the Kobe who lost less than 200 pounds in the original time and space. He was the "Little Polon" period, which was the 230+ pound period. About 200 pounds can beat all kinds of heroes, what about 230+ pounds? Kill Durant directly.
And now he doesn't have the explosive decline and speed problems in the later stage, so Durant is simply weak, unable to prevent Kobe's breakthrough and Kobe's back hit. The offensive end was also frantically entangled, making him miserable and weak.
Yes, is there any mistake? How did this guy practice? How can you be so fast with such a big weight? Is this still the 24th I'm familiar with?
No, it's certainly not just number 24.
A large part of this Kobe Bryant's body still has the blood of No. 8 still flowing.
And the "Eight Branch", Kevin. Durant has only seen it on TV and online.
In a sense, that is the real "God of War Kobe", Kobe Bryant at the peak.
After playing for almost half a quarter, the Thunder team actually lost one after another, which made the head coach of the Thunder team quickly call a timeout, and then he came down and reprimanded loudly: "Kevin, what are you doing?" Why are you so persistent and Kobe Bryant? Don't you know that this is his strongest point? Durant lowered his head and kept silent, but looking at his expression, he was obviously unconvinced.
What is his strongest point? Do you mean I'm going to lose heads-up? I'm the real pinnacle now! I'm in the prime of my life! How old is he? Could it be that I can't be an "old man on the court"?
And now that I'm competing for MVP with Kobe and James, do you want me to give it up?
Vaguely, he even complained about Kobe Bryant, because in the regular season, there are rarely times when the misaligned core directly fights head-to-head. But he forgot that it was the beginning of the game, and he took the initiative to attack the number 24. With the physical state of the 24th this season, the ultimate meaning of this season, the temperament of this season, do you think he will abide by these?
If you me, then I'll back! He's done this since his Achilles tendon ruptured, let alone now.
So the first half of the second quarter directly evolved into a heads-up showdown between Kobe and Durant, and neither of them had the intention of blocking and covering, that is, they were killing head-on to see who was stronger.
It turns out that Durant's heads-up has never been a strong point, and his singles ratio is much lower than Kobe's, not at 20%. And what about Kobe? More than 3 percent in the career, more than 4 percent in the peak, this kind of singles maniac you compete with him heads-up?
It's a lot of thinking.
"Boy, you're very strong, but you're single-handedly finding the wrong opponent." Kobe Bryant said to Durant before leaving the court after the Thunder called a timeout: "Heads-up, it's my primitive instinct, Jordan is here, and I won't fool him." ”
"You'd better play your efficiency basketball and team basketball honestly."
Durant was stimulated by this sentence, so he didn't listen to the head coach much at all, and went up to continue working.
And then continue to be suppressed.
“!!!” The head coach of the Thunder called another timeout after 1 minute and 15 seconds, and then came down and said, "Kevin, didn't you hear what I just said?" Let me not go head-to-head with Kobe, don't you understand? ”
"I don't think I'm going to lose to him!" Durant also came to the fire and said to the bull.
"But it turns out! The data proves it! You're just losing to him! All right! Let's come down and calm down! Russell, you go, play smarter, don't go head-to-head with the number 24. Don't forget that we're behind the curve right now! ”
"Well, I know, Mr. Brooks." "Wei Shao" got the towel around his neck and stood up.
However, the Thunder did not play as well as they should have, because after missing Durant, Kobe Bryant directly chose to face Russell. Westbrook. Compared to the former, Russell is undoubtedly easier to deal with.
More ball handling, worse projection, shorter height, lighter weight, and the strength of "Wei Shao" is also exactly Kobe's strength this season, and he has been suppressed in all aspects. It was even exploded. It's like going back to the first few years.
Against Kobe Bryant, the quasi-iron, the quasi-performance fell sharply.
It was not easy to regain some self-confidence in the first 2 years, but this year it was completely held down and beaten down.
Why does this guy seem to be even stronger than he was in his rookie days? How is this going on???
After Wei Shao was continuously attacked and defended, he also came to be ferocious, but this set faced the Lakers and couldn't eat it.
Because he was not a projection outsider, and now the Lakers have Tang Qian, a "demigod", in charge of the inside, and he has only a dead end. It doesn't matter if you've exploded. Besides, wanting to slip away from Kobe's eyes without the help of pick-and-roll, this season is really a dream.
Westbrook was suppressed more ruthlessly than Durant, and he was far from his prime, so he couldn't stop the Lakers No. 24 in front of him.
entered the inner line, but was also interfered with by Tang Qian, and also received a big block.
At halftime, the Thunder trailed the Lakers 34-47, and Bryant scored 35 points in the first half.
He proved one point again tonight, whether it's watching the scene or looking at the data, heads-up? He's the strongest on the outside, and there's no one.
Except for Jordan and himself, no one is qualified to fight him.
In the Thunder locker room, everyone's atmosphere was depressed, this was the most stinky half of the season for the Thunder. With only 34 points, this is unthinkable in the 13-14 season. You know, they are a strong team that can average 106+ points per game this season. How many points per game are the Heat? That's 4 points lower than them! Not to mention the Lakers, who are far from 100 points! So smooth sailing is the overall trend of the Thunder this season.
The overall hit rate is just over 3 percent, which is really unacceptable.
However, the head coach of the Thunder team, he stood up and clarified the problem:
1. The team played too many singles in the first half, and both offensive and defensive ends were miserable.
This sentence is very correct, Durant + Westbrook only scored less than 20 points in the first half, which is not as good as Kobe Bryant, which is a hard injury.
2. Letting Durant and Westbrook play separately was their own mistake.
Because in this way, Kobe Bryant can concentrate on offense and defense, so that the Thunder team can't open the situation.
3. There are too few other players attacking the Lakers' weaknesses.
You must know that the strong point of this Lakers team is currently "one and a half", there are so many holes in the position to attack, but they insist on playing strong points, isn't this a mistake and what is it? The tactics were completely inappropriate.
4, Kobe Bryant should be encircled and suppressed with all his might, and no one should be allowed to keep an eye on it.
Kobe Bryant's singles ability this season, single-point explosion, is too terrifying, and it is not at all what people expected at the beginning of the season, and it will slip and return to normal in a few games.
Therefore, in the second half, the Thunder's style of play should be changed: first, the "double less" should all play. Second, reduce unnecessary singles and not "vindictive" with the Lakers' No. 24. The third is to specialize in the Lakers' hole points, and don't be afraid to shoot. Fourth, the defensive end vigorously encircled Kobe Bryant and did not give the Lakers No. 24 a one-on-one chance to play alone.
"If we do the above things well, the Lakers don't have to be afraid, and we will definitely win!" Thunder coach Scott. Brooks said confidently.
But is that the case?
Of course not, someone will soon stand up and tell him that he is thinking too much.
Playing against the Lakers, it's not that simple.
