The Oklahoma City Thunder team in 2012 is two words in the end, talent, team boss Kevin Durant won another scoring title this season, the offensive end is 360 degrees without dead ends, with the height of a big forward but playing the position of small forward, everything he does is born for the position of small forward, in addition to appearance, the second leader Russell Westbrook is a physical fitness stream, James on the point guard, once he rushes up, it is even smaller than a small steel cannon, and everything he does is born for the position of point guardIn addition to appearance, although James Harden, the three-leader is a substitute, but as long as he stands on the court, he is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored by opponents, and this season's Best Sixth Man trophy is the best proof, his signature step-back step-back jumper after dribbling often kills the enemy invisibly, everything about him is born for the position of scoring guard, except for looks.

On May 14, 2012, the first game of the second round of the NBA playoffs officially started, the first game between the Lakers and the Thunder, the characteristics of the two teams were brought into full play, the Thunder three less all had a good play, Westbrook got 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover on 10 of 15 shots, and broke the opposite Sessions, who only got 2 points and 3 assists on 1 of 7 shots. It turns out that when Sessions saw a strong enemy killing, not only did he not resist, but he also took the initiative to untie his clothes and pout his ass......

Durant scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-of-16 shooting, the Lakers' Artest, now called Ci Shiping is no longer as able to contain Durant as he was two years ago, one is rising, the other is declining, the gap between the two will only widen, this is inevitable, Harden on the bench scored 17 points on 4-of-11 free throws and 9-of-10 shots, which is almost equal to the sum of all the Lakers' bench scores, Kobe Bryant did not perform well in this game, scoring 20 points on 7-of-18 shooting, Bynum scored 20 points and 14 rebounds on 7-of-12 shooting, Gasol was the biggest pit of the game, at first glance it didn't look bad with 10 points and 7 rebounds on 5-of-11 shooting, but his plus/minus on the court was minus -29...... What else do I need to say? All in all, Gasol was completely overpowered by Perkins and Ibaka in this game.

Obviously, the first game is not the real level of the Lakers, the second game, under the instruction of Zen master Jackson, the Lakers sacrificed a championship-level defense in advance - this is already the Lakers' biggest move, but this directly suppressed the Thunder's scoring only 77 points, and the shooting rate was only 42%, but unfortunately, the Lakers were not as good as the Thunder on the offensive end of this game, and the team's shooting rate was a miserable 38.5%, hitting 48 iron! In the end, the Lakers lost to the Thunder 75-77.

In fact, the Lakers are very likely to win the game in this game, and the loss is inexplicable, two minutes before the end of the game, Bynum made a strong attack under the basket to give the Lakers a full 7-point lead! Can you lose this? Then the Thunder told you with action, yes, Harden first sacrificed a step back jumper to snatch back 2 points, and then Durant stole Kobe's pass and dunked quickly, narrowing the Lakers' lead to 3 points, and then Kobe singled out Harden but was caught by Harden's hat, yes, you read that right, it was Harden's hat fly! Then Harden scored 2 points again on the offensive end, it is worth mentioning that in the regular season this season, Harden was hit by Ci Shiping's malicious elbow, and Harden completed the toughest revenge in this game! Kobe missed three points, Durant shot again, the Thunder led by 1 point in the first 18 seconds of the game, Blake missed three points, the game was lost so inexplicably, the Lakers in the last five minutes of the game, only relied on Bynum to score 4 points, and other players did not score a point, known as Mr. Key, Kobe, the performance in the last five minutes was 4 shots and 0 shots, and only contributed one turnover.

If Kobe Bryant in the last game was the worst Kobe, then Kobe Bryant in the next game is the strongest Kobe, and he scored 10 points in the last five minutes of the game! At the critical moment of the game, Kobe Bryant no longer insisted on sticking to the long-range shot, but constantly impacted the basket to kill the Thunder and fight free throws, such Kobe Bryant can only be seen on the stage of the finals! 9.8 seconds before the end, Safrosa assisted Perkins to score 2 points under the basket, the Thunder trailed the Lakers by one point 96:97, and then Westbrook immediately fouled Kobe, Kobe Bryant hit both free throws in the MVP cheers of 20,000 fans, and the game was won!

This game is actually the rhythm of the Thunder, Durant scored 31 points on 12-of-23 shooting, Westbrook also scored 21 points and 9 rebounds, Harden scored 21 points, and the three of them took turns to beat the Lakers one-on-one, but the Lakers' Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, snatching the game from the arms of the Thunder! In addition, Bynum and Gasol on the inside both scored double-doubles, which helped Kobe Bryant a lot!

The fourth game continued to play at the Staples Center, the game was also a spark, the first quarter of the game, the Lakers blossomed inside and outside, Kobe Bryant and Bynum both scored 10 points, helping the Lakers lead 29:24, the Lakers' style of painting suddenly changed in the second quarter, the team incarnated as a team team, everyone on the court scored seven points, and after the first half of the game, the Lakers led by 10 points at 56:46 into the second quarter.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant came up with a strong attack, he continued to impact the basket to score, expand the difference, the Lakers held a 13-point lead at the most, and then, Dawei Shao stood up, he hit the Lakers hinterland again and again with his perverted body, and every time it was a heavy kill for the Lakers! , All of a sudden, Kobe Bryant and Westbrook scored each other, and the two sides were back and forth,-for-tat, and they fought everywhere! The competition is also getting hot! In the end, Kobe Bryant scored 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting in this quarter, while Wei Shao scored 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting! The score of the two teams in the single quarter was 24:25 for the Lakers, and the Lakers led by nine points into the final quarter!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the shooting percentage of both teams was not high, Ibaka hit twice, Fisher's long-range shot was the only score of the Thunder in the first half of the final quarter, and the Lakers responded to Ci Shiping's two three-pointers, Jordan Hill's dunk, Bynum's basket attacked, and after four minutes in the fourth quarter, the Lakers still led the Thunder by 13 points at 91:78, and this game should be won no matter how you look at it! No way!

In the middle of the final quarter, Westbrook suddenly turned into a god, and within three minutes, he scored four goals in a row, one of which was two plus one, and one person forced 9 points! Durant then played, hitting four free throws in a row, and receiving a steal from Westbrook and a fast break dunk! The Lakers were caught off guard by the Thunder's ferocious offensive, and the score was once overtaken by the Thunder. In the last minute of the game, Kobe Bryant hit the basket and caused Ibaka's foul, and Kobe Bryant hit two free throws to tie the score at 98:98! Then Pau Gasol made a fatal mistake when his pass was intercepted by Durant, who then hit a crucial 3-pointer with 13 seconds left in the final game! The Lakers trailed by 3 points, and the Lakers had a chance to make a desperate shot, but after a timeout, Kobe's three-point shot was perfectly defended by Durant, although Durant did not cover the ball, but Kobe's shot missed the basket! Artay could only foul Harden, Harden hit two free throws, Kobe Bryant hit an inconsequential 2-pointer in the final moments, and the game was over, and finally the Lakers lost 100-103 to the Thunder at home, and the big score became 1-3.

In this game, it was said that Gasol buried the game, but it was better to say that Kobe Bryant's stealth in the last quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points in the first three quarters, and the Swiss Army Knife's defense didn't work for him at all, he almost dominated the game, but in the fourth quarter, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks suddenly wanted to let Durant defend Kobe Bryant, which was a miracle, Kobe Bryant only scored 7 points in the fourth quarter, becoming a key factor in the Lakers' defeat, of course, if it weren't for Kobe's excellent play in the first three quarters, the Lakers would have disarmed long ago. Westbrook scored 37 points on 15-of-26 shooting, while Durant finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds on 10-of-18 shooting.

The fourth game was moved to the Ford Center Arena, the home of the Thunder, whether to return to the Staples Center to play another game or go home to fish, just in this one, Kobe Bryant took out a desperate posture at the beginning, scoring 15 points on 6 of 9 shots in the first quarter, but the helpless play of his teammates was too scummy, especially Gasol delivered an ultra-low shooting rate of 1 of 6 shots in a single quarter, while the Thunder played more united, and the Lakers fell behind 21:26 in the first quarter.

After Kobe Bryant got off the court in the second quarter, the Lakers seemed to be able to play all of a sudden, and everyone was nervous about scoring, so that they could break their wrists with the Thunder, and the score in the second quarter was 30:28 for the Lakers, and everyone got a very average shot, so the offensive efficiency was higher. In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 15 points again in a single quarter, but what is incredible is that the Lakers will suddenly not play again, Kobe's other partner Bynum took out 5 shots in a single quarter and shot 1 in 1, Westbrook scored 12 points in this quarter, the result is obvious, the Lakers fell behind the Thunder 26:29 in a single quarter, and the Lakers have completely lost their spirit in the fourth quarter, although Kobe is still struggling, but you look at the fourth quarter The whole team scored only 2 goals except for Kobe Bryant, Among them, only Ci Shiping's layup was still taken when the game was not so flowery, the Lakers fell behind the Thunder 13:23 in the final quarter, and finally the game ended, the Lakers lost to the Thunder 90:106 and were eliminated 1:4. In the last game, Kobe Bryant scored a full 42 points, but to no avail, Westbrook scored 28 points, Durant scored 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Harden scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

Kobe Bryant averaged 31.2 points per game and shot 42.6% per game in the whole series, which is worthy of respect in the face of the Thunder's impactful play, but Kobe's worst problem is in the three-point shot, averaging 3.6 three-pointers per game, only 0.4 goals, and shooting only 11.1%, in addition, Kobe's two good interior partners Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol's performance is also infinitely sluggish, and the two can only score 28 points and 19 rebounds together. The shooting percentage did not exceed 45%, such a performance is obviously unqualified for the two All-Star insiders, and the rest of the Lakers team is not much better, Ci Shiping, Sessions, Blake, Matt Barnes are all important rotation players for the Lakers, but the shooting rate of these four in this series has not exceeded 40%, Jordan Hill's shooting rate has reached 53.3%, but the problem is that he only plays 15 minutes per game, 3.0 shots, for the Lakers, Jordan Hill's contribution is not enough.
