Today's Energy Arena feels like a battlefield, filled with loud noise and gunsmoke. www.biquge.info If you want to survive, you can only fight hard and fight.

This is the fourth game of the series, and for the Lakers who are leading 3-0, it may not be so important. However, if it is absolutely important for the Thunder, they have no way back but to work hard to get a victory. Unless, of course, they've given up on the game and are ready to enjoy the off-season.

However, the superstars of this team will never think so, if they leave like this, they will definitely have something missing in their hearts, and if they think about it, what is missing, maybe it is difficult for them to know. But, if you think about it, what they're missing is fulfillment, and if they just leave, the offseason will be an empty time for them.

As the masters of this battlefield, Westbrook and Durant showed a wolf-like personality, that is, fierce and wild, and when the game began, their eyes were already filled with flames, as if they were about to tear apart all opponents.

A lot of people felt the momentum they were displaying, and it immediately sparked a cheer in the Energy Arena, as these two guys were always able to bring them a sense of comfort.

"It's dangerous, but it's definitely the best attitude." Chu Xuan was silent, he also smelled the threat from Dewey and the two of them: "In such a desperate situation, I hope you can bring me some surprises, otherwise, maybe this game will really lack some excitement." ”

The basketball flew into the air, and the two figures jumped at the same time, and the winner was quickly decided.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had the ball, and after Westbrook got the ball, he took the lead, quickly advanced with the ball, and passed half court in the blink of an eye, and when the Lakers players did not react in time, Westbrook rushed to the basket with lightning speed.

There was a loud bang, and the basket was seriously deformed by being pulled.

Westbrook jumped off the basket and pounded his chest with excitement and roared.

The scene couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time, the fans excitedly sent warm applause.

A hint of strange color flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes, but this was just a compliment to Westbrook's rapid entry into the game. All this was expected by Chu Xuan, in such a passive situation, only by letting the superstars take the lead could there be a turnaround. And Brooks will undoubtedly attack from the second and put all the ball in their hands.

Judging by this first goal, this is indeed the case. Westbrook used his speed and explosiveness to his advantage, and in a quick fit to get into the groove, a dragon sneaked up and scored for the Thunder.

Westbrook has shown his attitude towards the game, which is to be fearless and give it his all. Such brutality and ferocity are worthy of admiration, but it is exactly what Chu Xuan wants, so he doesn't have to worry about Westbrook and Durant using chemistry to create a threat.

In fact, judging from recent seasons, the tacit understanding between Dewey and the two young men is not very good, when the two are on the court, they use their strong individual abilities to play alone, and then they contain each other's defenses to make their respective offenses easier. They don't know how to play team basketball, which restricts them from going to the higher stage in the playoffs.

The Thunder is the kind of typical team that is not teamed enough to make up for talent, and Dewey is the biggest reliance of this team. And for the most part, this team is able to pull off a lot of teams with talent. However, it's not like they're going to be able to handle everything. It's like in the playoffs, when you really come up against a team that is very strong and the team is very strong, they're definitely going to get into a lot of trouble......

The Thunder scored the first goal, and the Lakers were not to be outdone, Antetokounmpo broke through to make a layup, and also created a supplementary foul on Ibaka.

However, this goal, Ibaka's foul was very vicious, and even Chu Xuan, who was standing on the sidelines, could hear the sound of Ibaka hitting Antetokounmpo's arm. Moreover, Antetokounmpo was obviously in pain and couldn't help but glare at Ibaka.

Because the match had just begun, Antetokounmpo kept his emotions in check.

After exchanging two sentences with the referee, Antetokounmpo walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. Judging from Ibaka's defensive attitude, this guy seems to be full of bad water again, which does not do the Lakers any good with their eyes on the Finals.

"I hope he doesn't go too far, or I'll finish you off."

Chu Xuan's eyes were slightly cold, staring at the back of the thorny Ibaka, slightly distracted.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack, and this time the ball fell into Durant's hands. However, Knoll and Antetokounmpo formed a wrap-and-loop defense against Durant, who almost lost the ball and managed to pass it under a lot of pressure.

After some rotation, the ball returned to Westbrook's hands, and this guy immediately seized the "defensive hole" formed by the Lakers because of the inclusion of Durant, and then went directly to the interior and made another layup.

"Russell, unstoppable Russell."

Westbrook, who scored two goals in a row, was immediately praised by the Energy Arena for his radiant and beautiful presence on the field like a hero.

Whether it is the fans or the players, in their hearts, a sense of trust in Westbrook has begun to rise.

"Russell felt good today and it shouldn't be that easy to do." Nash's voice sounded in Chu Xuan's ears.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile, Nash's personality is a little too cautious: "The better his state, the easier it is for Kevin Durant to be ignored, which will make us a lot less threatening." You know, on the basketball court, Kevin Durant can definitely show more threat than Russell, but unfortunately, he is not a point guard and is not in a team-first team. ”

Chu Xuan paused, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Moreover, you have to know that even if you have a good relationship, there will inevitably be competition." After all, no one wants to be a green leaf around others. ”

As Chu Xuan said, in the NBA league, the change of team leaders is very common. For example, the OK combination of the year, for the sake of the status of the boss, Kobe Bryant did not hesitate to give up the prospect of winning the championship, and forced the team to send O'Neal away. And Westbrook has a strong personality, if it weren't for a teammate like Durant, the Thunder would have been disbanded long ago.

"Let's see, the better Russell is in shape, the more possession he will have, and the more he will pass to other people other than Durant, because that will give him a higher support rating on the team."

……

As Chu Xuan predicted, Westbrook has been a threat on the offensive end, and at the same time, he has constantly re-passed the ball to his teammates, and the pass is very average, and it is not biased by Durant's position in the team.

Obviously, Westbrook did this according to Brooks' arrangement. After all, to play the Lakers, the Thunder not only need stars to play, but also star players to play.

I just wonder if Brooks thinks Durant should get more shots?

In the first quarter of the game, the score of the two sides was 27:20, and the Lakers took a seven-point lead.

The advantage was mainly due to the overall performance of the main players. In addition, among the bench players, Maddy played 2 minutes and hit 2 more shots, helping the Lakers score 4 points. At the same time, Yi Jian United has also done a good job of protecting rebounds and defending the ball.

"The game was not good for the Thunder, who need to score more."

Durant's scoring contribution in the first quarter was small, so when the team was in a difficult situation, Durant was immediately on everyone's mind. Because only Durant plays on the scoring end, the Thunder have a certain chance to win.

It was obvious that at the beginning of the second quarter, Brooks switched things around and had Durant play on the court with four benches. The move paid off immediately, with Durant scoring 10 of the 14 points in the second quarter to help the Thunder tie the score.

In this case, Chu Xuan changed the main players back to the field, and the two sides began to have a formal confrontation.

With the main players on the floor, Westbrook, as the starting point guard, is naturally back on the court, and he has regained control of the ball.

After the game started, Westbrook would give the ball to Durant at first, but under the Lakers' tight defense, Westbrook gradually gave up giving the ball to Durant and started playing alone again. I have to say that Westbrook played quite well, he attacked the basket fiercely, and although he sometimes couldn't score, he was still able to score by making fouls. As Westbrook continues to explode on the scoring end, the Thunder's situation is getting better and better.

As a result, everything on the field revolves around Westbrook, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

As for Durant, he quickly fell into a state of full turnaround again, although there were occasional scores, but the sense of presence was too low, not even as good as Jerry Milan.

However, the Thunder are in a good situation under Westbrook's leadership, and the fans are excited, so they naturally don't care too much about how well Durant plays.

On the court, Westbrook sharply broke through the defense of his junior LaVine, rushed into the interior and directly completed a one-handed split. This goal immediately boosted the morale of the Thunder team, and the formation of the energy arena was already extremely large. And the fans' self-confidence in the home team's win is also inflated to the extreme.

"Russell has scored 25 points, and it looks like he's going to score 50 points in this game."

With this dunk, Westbrook's hot form has been revealed, and he is the biggest threat on the court. He became a hero, and his starlight overshadowed everyone's presence, including Kevin Durant.

In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers have been passive, but Chu Xuan did not mess with himself, he still maintained a clear mind and patience, and watched the game on the court seriously. In this process, Chu Xuan has been looking at Durant. According to Chu Xuan's feelings, Durant's mood should not be very good, he obviously has a big opinion about Westbrook, but he has been holding back because of the game.

In fact, this is also very understandable, you know, in this crucial "continue or be eliminated" desperate game, Durant obviously can't stand to be on the sidelines, allowing Westbrook, who poses a great threat to his team's status, to continue to perform. Durant was eager to have the ball in his hands, but it backfired, and everything on the court revolved around Westbrook and didn't pass the ball to him.

Durant's performance was just a flash of inspiration, and his highlight reel came in the first few minutes of the second quarter, and then he was passive again. However, the Thunder have always maintained the lead, and Durant has to swallow his anger in his stomach, and there is really nowhere to break out...... The halftime ended quickly, and the score became 56-49, and the Thunder not only closed the seven-point deficit, but took a seven-point lead.

"The game is still going according to our plan and the only variable is that Russell is in good shape today. It's not terrible, though. And then we're going to do ......."

After returning to the locker room, Chu Xuan immediately arranged the players, and then made targeted defensive changes.

Judging from the first half of the game, the Thunder's threat was mainly focused on Westbrook's breakaway, and their outside shooting was actually terrible. In the second half, the Lakers only need to strengthen the defensive intensity of the interior, which will undoubtedly cause great trouble for the Thunder.

"In the second quarter, we made a lot of mistakes. In the second half, you have to pay attention to that, control a little bit more and make fewer mistakes. Then, on the offensive end, everyone continued to be patient and strive for a success rate. Don't be impatient and control the pace of the game......"

Chu Xuan's arrangement strategy is very simple, that is, to maintain the success rate of each offense, so as not to fall into the rhythm of the opponent, and then the Lakers can always maintain the threat. In the second quarter of the game, the reason why it didn't play very well was mainly because there were a lot of mistakes, and then, if this can be controlled, the Lakers will undoubtedly be able to get the disadvantage back.

After some rest in the locker room, the two sides returned to the field and the second half began.

Chu Xuan and Brooks both put on a regular bench lineup to play on the court, and on the Lakers' side, Jeremy Lin, Yi Jian United and Maddy are the main offensive points. I have to say that the substitution felt very good today, and most of the tactics were very successful, which made the game play with an advantage and a sense of pressure at the beginning of the game.

In the third quarter, the two benches played a total of 4 minutes and 18 seconds, and during that time, Maddie made two stunning three-pointers, while Jeremy Lin and Ekinlian both scored. The Lakers beat the Thunder 14-5, and the deficit was filled, and the Lakers took a two-point lead.

Off the court, Chu Xuan is very happy, in this year's playoffs, the Lakers' bench always plays very well. No, this ball, this gang of bench bandits played again...... (To be continued.) )
