In the third quarter, the Lakers' offense was still anxious, Kobe Bryant shot 1 of 7, Gasol shot 0 of 2, Bynum shot 2 of 7, and the absolute core players of the three teams felt cold, which directly led to the Lakers icing on the offensive end and unable to open the offensive situation.

In the middle of seven and a half minutes in the third quarter, the Lakers made substitutions, replacing Kobe Bryant and Bynum, because fools can see that the physical energy of the two of them is overdepleted. Mike. Brown also had no choice but to "endure" the choice of substitution, but even so, Paul. Gasol was still left on the field by him, supporting the overall situation.

Maybe he forgot about Gary, the Lakers' chief team doctor. As for Viti, if the Spaniard's plantar fasciitis does not continue to worsen, it is best to control the playing time of each game to about 30 minutes. But look at the last few games, Paul. Gasol's playing time has increased instead of decreasing, and the 40+ playing load has seriously overdrawn Gasol's physical energy.

The main players of the Lakers, after 66 games, are all in a situation of exhaustion.

And the initiator of this situation is none other than the head coach of the Lakers, Mike. Brown.

"Hot, Barnes, you two go up." Mike. Brown called Don and Matt. Barnes's name said: "I don't want you to recover the score, just to maintain the score difference, and the mission is completed." ”

"Do you understand? Be sure to buy time for Kobe and Bynum to rest and recover! "Mike. Brown gave an "order" before the two went on the court.

"Well, we get it, Mr. Brown." Tang Qian and Barnes nodded at the same time and replied.

Domestic, Korean. Ting Sports Desk.

"Okay, Mr. Yangyi, the Lakers have made a substitution, replacing Kobe and Bynum, and replacing Tang Qian and Barnes." Meteor Shower said to the broadcast screen.

"It's about getting time off for Kobe and Bynum." Yang Yi opened his mouth and said: "The Thunder team has also changed, except for Kendrick. Perkins, all the main forces were withdrawn to rest, and at this point Scott. Brooks than Mike. Brown is going to do well, look at the Thunder's roster, the 11-man rotation is far more reasonable than the Lakers' eight-man rotation. ”

"Mr. Yangyi, do you think the Lakers' current lineup can recover the score difference?" Meteor shower tracts.

"It's hard, it's hard, even if the Thunder are less, there's still a James. Harden, James this season. Harden's personal ability is becoming more and more mature, and in the bench lineup, it is almost equivalent to a BUG-level existence. On the other hand, the Lakers' lineup has a weak offensive ability. The rest of Gasol is not a reliable scorer, and it will be difficult to recover the points lost in this situation. ”

Lakers offense, Ramon. Sessions had a rather "miserable" game, being bullied by Westbrook in the main lineup and James in the bench lineup. Harden was on guard, and throughout the night, he struggled to play extremely well, not at all as outstanding as he once did in Milwaukee, Minnesota, and Cleveland.

Between dribbles, James. Harden was quick and made a steal of Ramon. Sessions' basketball, then a one-man fast break, a one-stop dunk to make it 70-55, and the Thunder led the Lakers by 15 points.

"Ramon. Sessions, what are you doing!! Give me a little attention to the dribble, and one more time, and give me a chance to get off the court!! "See here, Mike. Brown yelled that the rest of the team was not to be messed with, Ramon. Sessions: He can still eat.

So a lot of the time, Ramon. Sessions became Mike. Brown's blow-out bag.

By Mike. Brown roared like this, and Sessionston shrank back again, to be honest, with his mental quality, he is not suitable to be a starter at all, especially a starter in a megacity like Los Angeles. It can be said that Mickey. Kupchak's original idea of this deal was basically in vain, and it turned out that Ramon. Sessions can be a good bench player, but it will be difficult for him to go to the top of the main position.

The Lakers home fans saw this, and they were a little excited, after all, they were behind by a big score, and no one could support it.

It's still Ramon. Sessions dribbled past half the court, and although the basketball was not stealed, it was too cautious to cause nearly half of the 24-second offensive time. If it weren't for the NBA's rule that 8 seconds are considered a violation at halftime, Sessions might have consumed more offensive time.

Face James. Harden, he opted for passing.

The basketball was given to Ci Shiping on the wing, and Sessions hoped to take advantage of Ci Shiping's height advantage to beat the Thunder defenders by a single shot. However, Ci Shiping's opponent is the former Lakers meritorious player, Derrick. Fisher. Don't look at Fisher is only 185MC, but his physique is very strong, the core strength is "Bunker", maybe in the face of the sports outside, he is a "cash machine", but in the face of the power outside, the "old fish" Fisher is definitely old and strong, and the defensive effect is at least B+ level. What's more, Fisher and Ci Shiping have been teammates for more than 2 years, so he knows some of the latter's offensive methods and offensive habits, and if he defends like this, as long as he is not in a low position, then he will not be too afraid of charity. World. Peaceful.

If only it were Ron. Artest, the capture of "Old Fish", that is no problem, but now, he has lost his flexibility and footwork, and has become a complete outside hunk, heavy tank. In this way, he has to fight hard with the "old fish" Fisher, and he actually can't take much advantage.

Especially after coming to the Lakers, Ci Shiping's basic offensive means have become three points to catch the ball, force three points to catch the ball, and make a layup with three slow steps, which is completely different from his singles methods at his peak, and it is almost impossible to see that it is the same person if you don't look at your face.

"Come on, Mehta, let's have a showdown." Derek. Fisher actually took the initiative to provoke Ci Shiping, which made Ping'er, who was originally going to pass the ball, angry, and changed his mind to hold the ball one-on-one to play "Lao Yu".

The tiger is not powerful, you and I are a sick cat???

Sure enough, I was fooled.

Fisher was unmoved, not at all deterred by Ci Shiping's momentum.

You're strong in the No. 1 position, but you're nothing in the No. 3 position! Look at how I can eat you with this ball!

Ci Shiping began to chisel Derek. Fisher, it stands to reason that he has no problem handling the ball like this, he now weighs 260 pounds, and Fisher, who weighs just over 200 pounds. The gap of more than 60 pounds is not so easy to make up, and the strength link is also Ci Shiping's strength, and the latter cannot take any advantage.

Do you think this ball Ci Shiping is settled? The reality is shocking.

Beep~

"Offensive foul, Lakers No. 15!"

As soon as Fisher fell to the ground, the referee blew the whistle.

“what？ Referee, this is a fake fall, definitely a fake fall! Ci Shiping took the ball and said with a look of wrongedness.

It's a pity that his appearance is destined to be unfavorable to the referee.

The penalty was still the same, and the Lakers and Thunder exchanged possession.

"Paul, he must have faked the ball just now, are you right! In training on weekdays, he is not like this! Ci Shiping complained angrily.

"Meta, you should be careful, Derek is too familiar with us, so he will be extremely knowledgeable when defending." Gasol didn't care about Ci Shiping's complaints, but opened his mouth to remind the other party.

"Hmph, I didn't expect him to be so slippery! It's really an opponent to know! Ci Shiping still complained a little unhappily.

"Be optimistic about Harden, don't let him make an easy shot!" Mike. Brown commanded loudly from the sidelines.

On the defensive end, the Lakers sent in was Matt. Barnes as he confronted James. Harden has a height advantage, and Barnes has decent athleticism, keeping an eye on James. Harden, Biramount. Sessions is much more appropriate. In addition, Barnes has an advantage, that is, he is not afraid of anyone on the defensive end, whether you are a bench or a star, he will take care of it, even if he loses defense due to limited ability in the end, he will not lose his hard work and spirit.

Harden looked at this No. 9 and felt a little contemptuous in his heart, after all, this season is his take-off season, and the general rotation players are not taken seriously by him at all.

Since you're going to defend me alone, then I'm not welcome.

Harden didn't call for a pick-and-roll, but went straight to 1VS1, and he took a short stride towards Matt. Barnes' left side burst out. James. Harden is a standard left-hander in the NBA, so his breakthrough ratio is a little different from the average player.

Barnes sticks to James. Harden, don't give him a little room to break through.

In fact, in the competition for the strength factor, Barnes can't take advantage, don't look at him is taller than Harden, but the weight of the two is almost close, only 2~3 pounds difference, so that in this way, evenly distributed in height, he will be at a disadvantage. And Harden's strength is notoriously strong in the No. 2 position, and in the rookie physical test that year, 84KG bench press 17 times in one breath, this ability is not Matt. Barnes can be compared.

However, Barnes was not agitated, because before he came on the court, Tang Qian said a word to him.

"Matt, if I'll be James. If Harden hits you, you lure him in, and I'll help you defend him. ”

Regarding Tang Qian's words, Barnes agreed without thinking about it, because the former had a very high status in his heart.

This guy is aggressive defensively, but ...... And can't stop me!

It's up to me to score points on your head!

With his own basketball experience, James. Harden made a judgment in his heart, and the probability of scoring this goal was as high as seven or eight percent.

Hit Matt hard with his shoulder. Barnes paused, then immediately jumped, a "mounted archery", and shot it at the Lakers' basket.

The basketball smoothly left his fingers and flew straight to the hoop in Los Angeles.

Looking at this arc, it is very upright, and the probability of scoring a goal is very high.

James. Harden, sure enough, has had a qualitative change since the beginning of this season, and the average bench player can't suppress him.

Well? Wait, what's wrong?

As soon as the basketball was shot, Harden inexplicably felt a wave of "weirdness".

Why? Because the person who defended him didn't mean to jump the block at all, just stood quietly and watched him finish shooting.

This is not normal!

Under normal circumstances, even if it can't be covered, it will take off interference, and even if it doesn't jump interference, then you should at least stretch out your hand, right? But right now, the No. 9 of the Lakers team didn't do anything, just stood, then looked up, and looked at himself quietly.

How? Did he get distracted?

Just when Harden was a little confused, a loud "pop" sound suddenly rushed into his eardrums.

His own shot was actually blocked by someone?

How is this possible? Lakers No. 9 obviously didn't move from head to toe!

Harden looked at it and was stunned, because the person who blocked his ball was not the opponent Matt. Barnes, but someone else.

2, 29th? It's him?

The Lakers' Ci Shiping scored a quick break, and at the same time, it also caused Nick. Collison made a blocking foul, the goal counted, and a free throw was added. (To be continued.) )
