Taylor. As soon as Swift sang the song, the competition officially began, to be honest, this kind of small commercial performance was originally disdainful of Taylor, but for the sake of "fake public benefit", she still chose to follow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this game, Kobe Bryant entered scoring mode as soon as he came up, and a "X.J.B.T" swept the first 8 points of the Lakers, and the shooting rate was very good, playing an absolute leading role. Not only that, but he also controlled Westbrook again on the defensive end, allowing the latter to regain the scoring efficiency of the previous games, and the Iron City was scum. Gasol also worked hard, although he was forced by a foot injury and his rebounding ability dropped a lot, but he defended the Lakers' interior with two consecutive blocks, making Sergi, who had 5 offensive rebounds in this quarter. Ibaka shot just 3-of-8 from the field and shot just 37.5 percent. That's a pretty successful defense for an interior player.

But even so, the Lakers fell behind after the first quarter.

There are three reasons, one is that the Lakers' team-wide shooting percentage is extremely ugly, Gasol is 1 of 6 shots, Bynum is 0 of 3 shots, Sessions is 0 of 3 shots, and Steve is 1 of 3 shots. Blake made 0 of 1 shots, and Tang Qian made 1 of 1 shots. That is to say, except for Kobe, the rest of the people fell into a scoring drought throughout the quarter, and the sound of iron was constantly sonorous. The second is that the rebounding ball was blown into scum, the team's rebounding comparison, the Lakers had 10 rebounds in a single quarter, and what about the Thunder? 20 rebounds in a single quarter! More than twice as many as the Lakers! In this case, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's 15 points in a single quarter and a shooting rate of 66.7%, he would definitely lose extremely ugly. The third is that the gap between the bench lineup is too big, Kobe Bryant has to defend Westbrook, which has already involved all his defensive attention, as for others on the outside, he can't afford to care about it at all, so he can only watch James. Harden showed his might, even made free throws, and scored 7 points on 100% shooting.

Westbrook shot 2-of-7 in the quarter and shot less than 3 percent, but there was no egg. use, because the Thunder's offensive scoring points this season are too many, and there is one less Wei Shao, and it is correct to eat the opponent's outside line.

21-26, the Lakers trailed the opponent by 5 points, and Tang Qian played 2 minutes and 11 seconds in this quarter, scoring 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

ESPN Live Room.

"How? Jeff, did I tell you? The Lakers can't beat the Thunder! "Stan. Van Gundy laughed.

"Don't worry, Stan, there's three quarters left in the game, anything can happen." Jeff. Van Gundy was not in a hurry, and spoke calmly.

"Okay, I'll see when you can be tough!" Stan. Van Gundy sneered at his brother.

"Bryant, how are you feeling? Do you want to come down and rest for a while? "Seeing Kobe Bryant sweating, Mike. Brown suggested that because Kobe Bryant played too hard in the first quarter, he scored 15 points in a single quarter, not to mention, and completely blocked the opponent Westbrook, this kind of high-intensity offensive and defensive integration consumed the old Kobe Bryant's huge physical strength.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Bryant's answer was still simple.

"Okay." Mike. Brown nodded, then looked at the rest of the Lakers and said, "Cheer up!" What the hell was played in the first quarter! Didn't you even eat dinner? Shoot that damn basketball in there! Do you understand! ”

In the second quarter, as Bryant's touch slowly declined, the Lakers adopted an interior attack mode, a basic tactical ability that Mike. Brown still has it. Fortunately, the Lakers' inside feel finally recovered, Gasol shot 3 of 3, Bynum shot 3 of 3, plus Ci Shiping shot 2 of 2, the entire second quarter, the Lakers had three players shooting 100%, 30-28 in a single quarter, chasing back 2 points, halftime, 51-54, only trailing 3 points into the second half.

"Damn! that. Egg Judge! Consecutive technical fouls were awarded! He must have taken the black. Money! Definitely!! As soon as he returned to the locker room, Ci Shiping was furious and said: "You must complain to the league office after the game!! ”

Why is Ci Shiping so angry? The reason is simple, in the last 30 seconds, the Thunder made four consecutive free throws, directly overtaking the Lakers. Why are there four free throws in a row? Ci Shiping to the fast Sabo. Sofrosa tactical foul, this is a very normal thing, in the professional league in order not to let the opponent dunk fast, the choice of tactical foul is the right decision. But the home referee of the Thunder team gave Ci Shiping a physical foul, so that the Thunder team would get the power of two free throws and one throw, which was very different from the original intention of Ci Shiping's tactical foul.

Of course, Ci Shiping didn't do it, but there was someone who reacted faster and more intensely than him, and he was the No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant. Bryant. In such a critical game, at such a critical moment, you actually gave the Lakers a "physical foul"? This is simply a game manipulation! Coupled with the fact that the Lakers managed to overtake the score before halftime, how could Kobe not be angry in this situation? So instead of Ci Shiping, he directly stepped forward to question the referee.

But what Kobe didn't expect was that the referee directly adopted a "zero tolerance" policy and gave him a technical foul, and suddenly, the Thunder team became "three free throws and one throw"!

Seeing that the team boss was punished for himself, Ci Shiping, who had a hot personality, was not happy, and walked forward together and questioned the referee.

The referee was also decisive, he didn't listen to Ci Shiping B.B at all, and raised his hand to make another technical foul, and the Lakers instantly became "four free throws and one throw"!

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was about to break out, Gasol grabbed the former as soon as possible, so as not to anger the "fair" referee again.

So, there is this scene just now.

Fortunately, the Thunder missed the last three-pointer, otherwise scoring 7 points in one round would have been too big a blow to the Lakers.

"Forget it, even if the referee is biased, we have to win this game!" Kobe Bryant said with a gloomy face: "You must win!" ”

Ci Shiping also earned it, in the rules of the NBA, physical fouls and technical fouls do not overlap, otherwise at that moment, he would have to be honorably removed from the court and sent out of the Chesapeake Energy Court.

The current Lakers team is indispensable to Ci Shiping, don't look at Ci Shiping's series this round seems to have been blown up by Durant, but if he is missing, the Lakers will only be blown up more miserably. At least Ci Shiping is here, Kevin. Durant didn't dare to break through unscrupulously, giving the Lakers relatively little pressure on the inside. Otherwise, Wei Shao + Du Shao + Harden will continue to hit the inside, even if Duncan comes, it won't be able to hold it.

In the second quarter of the game, Tang Qian did not get time to play.

At halftime, Taylor sang another song in the center of the court, and then the fifth game of the Lakers vs. Thunder series officially continued.

This section follows Mike. Brown's idea was to continue to attack the interior first, after all, the interior players were in good shape in the second quarter, but he paid the price for his decision-making mistakes. In the third quarter, the main hand of the nunnery plummeted, and under the interference of Ibaka, he actually threw a 4-0 opening. This time, the Thunder team seized the opportunity, using the athleticism of their lineup, crazy push fast break, crazy play fast offensive and defensive transition, with Scott. Brooks's words are to use the fast pace to drag the aging Los Angeles Lakers to death.

A few minutes later, the score between the two sides became 51-60, and the margin widened to nine points, and the Lakers were close to three and a half minutes, missing all shots, which gave the Thunder a chance to play a wave. No joke, this season, the two strongest teams in the league to play "Wave" are Miami and the current Oklahoma City Thunder.

Seeing this situation, Kobe Bryant came to take over the game again, "Brush brush brush ~", continuous strong shots from people broke the Lakers' scoring drought in an instant, and this season's Black Mamba is still capable of doing all this. But because most of Kobe's energy is invested on the offensive end, the control of the defensive end is suddenly weakened. Westbrook would not let go of such an opportunity and immediately took advantage of the situation to attack and fill the void of Durant's poor hand in this quarter.

In the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant once again made 6 shots of 9 and added 2 free throws, scoring 15 points, with offensive firepower and high scoring efficiency. However, due to the weakening of control on the defensive end, Westbrook took advantage of the loophole, and the Thunder's No. 0 also took the opportunity to score a high score of 12 points, and the shooting percentage was not much worse than Kobe.

In the final stages, Westbrook also drew a defensive foul on Bynum, who received his fifth personal foul of the game.

However, the Lakers were lucky, and Westbrook missed both free throws, which made the score finally fixed at 26-29 points in the single quarter. The Lakers trailed by six points at 77-83.

Tang Qian still didn't have a chance to play in this section, because Mike. Brown's old problem was repeated, and in order to ensure the combat effectiveness on the field, he began to constantly squeeze the physical fitness of the main players and did not give substitutes the opportunity to play. The five main players of the Lakers, except for Sessions, have played more than 30+ minutes in the third quarter, of which Kobe Bryant and Gasol are the highest, both reaching 34 minutes. That is to say, in the entire three quarters of the game, the two of them only had a total of about 2 minutes of rest, which is undoubtedly a huge physical test for veterans in their thirties.

Coupled with the playing time in the previous games, the Lakers' starting lineup and physical energy have reached the verge of almost running out.

"Everybody calm down, everybody calm down, it's no big deal, we're only six points behind, we still have time, we still have a chance!" Mike. Brown said his "lame" words of encouragement from the bench, but it was clear that looking at his face, he was about to lose his weight. In this state, his language simply does not have the ability to appease the team.

The Lakers players, at this moment, all felt the pressure, and in the entire Chesapeake Energy Stadium, the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis were like boulders, and people were about to breathe.

With that atmosphere, the Lakers took to the court for the fourth quarter.

Mike. Brown didn't know if he was dizzy or what, but he continued to send the owner of the nunnery who had five fouls, and the head coach of the Thunder team saw that there was such a good thing, and immediately made a gesture on the sidelines, allowing the team to strengthen the breakthrough and strengthen the killing of the Lakers' interior line. Soon, Scott. Brooks' tactics worked, and with James. Harden made a breakthrough layup, Bynum fouled the defense, and was directly forced off by the referee.

The Lakers' All-Star center, swaying like this, went on, and could no longer contribute anything to the team.

His personal data in this game was also fixed on 10 points and 4 rebounds.

Mike. Brown also seemed to be "frightened" by the situation, he panicked and called Tang Qian, let the Lakers replace No. 29 on the court, and did not explain any tactical instructions to the latter.

Bang~

One of the two free throws, and in Harden's scolding, his second free throw hit the basket.

77-84, Tang Qian protected this defensive rebound.

He was affected by the "inner demon" in this game, and his competitive form dropped by 30%, which is simply a big disaster.

If you don't have the ability card subsidy, I'm afraid even the Thunder's Nick. Collison was able to easily suppress Tang Qian.

Because tonight, the momentum of the Thunder team is like a rainbow, almost everyone is brave, and everyone is competing for the lead, so that everyone's competitive state is much higher than the regular season. And this is commonly known as the playoff state.

But Tang Qian didn't panic too much, because before he came on the field, he had thought about how this game should be played.

Now the Lakers are weak in offense and lack of firepower, so Kobe Bryant is easy to be trapped, and the interior line can't find an easy shot. In this way, the Thunder's defense will become more and more targeted, and it will shrink smaller and smaller, paralyzing the Lakers' overall offense. Someone has to step up! Otherwise, he won't be able to open up the offensive space, and Kobe Bryant won't be able to get 2~3 defenders.

And as a big center of more than seven feet, how should Tang Qian stand up?

Grab a rebound? Caps? NO~ In his competitive state tonight, he doesn't want to perform at all!

So what to do?

Yes, of course...... Shoot three points!

Shooting three points, maybe ordinary people will think that Tang Qian's brain is convulsive, but only he knows that it is okay tonight.

Tonight, I'm going to be a "three-point center!!

The Lakers dribble and attack, and it can be seen that Sessions is already in a very poor mental state, maybe in his heart, this game, this round of the series is over. Kobe Bryant wanted to ask for the ball, but the Thunder were very tough on his defense. Harden is desperately entangled, even if he can barely get the ball, it will immediately attract the Thunder's two-man or even three-person package, anyway, the Lakers are now the rest of the team, and he can't shoot him to shoot far baskets, so the Oklahomians can arbitrarily wrap Kobe Bryant, so that the Black Mamba has no room to drill.

At this time, Tang Qian ran over slowly, he was the last player on the Lakers to run past half court, which was very different from his usual enthusiasm.

"Ramon, pass it to me, I'm empty~" Hearing a shout in his ear, Sessions was confused, so he passed the ball in his hand, anyway, in his eyes, as long as it was passed to the Lakers players, it would be fine.

As for who it is, whether it is suitable or not, whether it has a range or not, then he doesn't bother to think about it anymore.

"Ha ~ Sessions actually passed the ball to the Chinese? This is really a funny pass~ What can a seven-foot center do outside the three-point line? Is it difficult to shoot a three-point shot? ”

"This is a precursor to the imminent collapse of the Lakers, I bet it will not take more than 3 minutes, and this game will go into garbage time~"

Just when the two on-site commentators of the Thunder team were "blind B.B", the Lakers shot at No. 29.
