The game quickly went on for more than 3 minutes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Judging from the situation of the game during this period, the Lakers' defensive strategy has been undoubtedly revealed, that is, to defend the Thunder's outside shooting, especially three-point shooting.

It is more correct for the Lakers to do this, because the Thunder's interior line does not have much advantage, and if the outside line does not score, then for the Lakers, they will be able to grasp a lot of initiative.

The Thunder's defense is also clear, and they also don't give Lakers players a chance to shoot from the outside. Moreover, in terms of interior defense, Ibaka is also very hard.

The two sides were defense-centric, and the game was naturally very intense.

Judging from the first three minutes, both sides did not shoot efficiently, and the scoring was concentrated in the restricted area.

However, it is definitely not easy for Westbrook to break through the interior to kill easily. You know, the Lakers have three interior players on the floor, although Noll is more often on the wing, but the Lakers' defensive intensity in the restricted area is definitely very strong, which makes it difficult for Westbrook to easily score on the inside.

As a result, the Thunder can only rely on Ibaka's mid-range shots and Durant to kill in the low post. However, Durant's physique and back-to-back skills are not enough for him to single-handedly beat Noll, after all, Noll is an interior killer with amazing defensive ability. At the beginning of the game, Durant seemed to have a hard time finding his feel on the offensive end, so his desire to shoot was not particularly great. In this way, the game will evolve into Westbrook's ferocious impact on the basket, or he will fight the Lakers on the court with a bunch of role players, and Durant's presence will be much smaller.

After three minutes of tactical success, Brooks called a timeout.

"Hassan did a good job, and then we have to spread out the scoring points, because the opponent can't defend everyone. The focus of the offense remains on the restricted area, with Norris and Paul trying to play in the low post while Hassan pulls to the free-throw line, which allows you to maintain your threat to the rebound. ”

Chu Xuan arranged the game, according to the Thunder's defensive situation and player configuration, the Lakers' tactics of attacking more inside will definitely not change. After all, Ibaka and Jones alone will definitely not be able to cause any fundamental resistance to the Lakers' three-interior combination.

After the timeout, Durant made a jumper at the free throw line.

Such a scene also highlights the changes in the Thunder team, and Brooks seems to arrange for Durant to attack more.

However, Chu Xuan will definitely not give Durant a chance to find his feelings, after all, once this guy throws away, it will be absolutely devastating.

Under Chu Xuan's signal, the Lakers' defense focused on Durant, and it was difficult for Durant to find a good time to attack, so more often than not, he could only give the ball to other players.

On offense, the Lakers' shots were scattered, and players scored points. Especially on the inside, the defense of Serge Ibaka and Jones has little impact on the Lakers, which has kept the Thunder on the passive. Although Brooks once replaced Perkins, Adams, Collison and other players on the court during the period, the defensive effect on the Lakers' interior line was not particularly good. Soon, the first quarter ended, and the Lakers led the Thunder by 9 points at 25:16.

In the subsequent game, Chu Xuan began to let Noel and Gasol appear more in the high positions on both sides to organize and respond. The rest of the players on the floor are more likely to kill and impact the basket. The results of this two-sided approach are also quite high, and Antetokounmpo as a point guard in this game has been greatly relieved, allowing him to focus more on offense and defense against Westbrook.

On the bench, players on the Lakers' activation roster were given playing time. Jeremy Lin, Maddie and Yi Jian Lian remain the most reliable replacements.

Especially Yi Jian United and Jeremy Lin, Yi Jian United has a great desire to attack today, coupled with the needs of the team's tactics, Yi Jian Lian's shooting frequency is still very high. And he had a very good hand today, whether it was attacking the basket or mid-range jumpers, he did a very good job. It is worth mentioning that Yi Jian United hit the Lakers' first three-point goal.

As for Jeremy Lin, he has a lot of confidence on the field at the moment, and that's all due to his performances this season. In the face of the Thunder's bench, Jeremy Lin showed strong ability, whether it was in offense, defense or organization, Jeremy Lin's contribution was quite good. When he's on the floor, he's a defensive focal point for the Thunder at one point.

In the two quarters after the first quarter, the Lakers and Thunder played a very close game. Westbrook, Lamb and Perry Jones did a good job on the offensive end, which made it difficult for the Lakers to pull the score away for a while. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by five points at 74:69.

The game entered the final quarter, and the heat of the scene reached the extreme.

Moreover, the concentration of the players on both sides has also reached a high level to compete for victory in the first game.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Durant and Westbrook showed a stronger offensive desire than before. Westbrook scored back-to-back baskets before scoring with his trademark zombie jumper. As for Durant, he also received a pass from Westbrook during the transition offense, causing a foul from the Lakers player, and used free throws to help the Thunder score.

The Thunder showed a fierce offensive momentum under the leadership of Dewey Ershao, but then the Lakers' defensive intensity increased significantly, and the Thunder's offense was once again contained. Then the Lakers took the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks, once stretching the difference to about 10 points.

I have to say that Durant didn't play well today. The confrontation with Knoll has a lot of constraints on him, although Knoll has a bad performance against him, but Durant has also been affected a lot, and his personal performance has been greatly reduced. Likely, it was a bit difficult for him to pair him up with a strong interior lineman.

If Durant doesn't play, it will definitely not be so easy for the Thunder to win.

Although the Lakers did not have particularly outstanding players, the scoring points were scattered and the players were in full bloom, allowing the Lakers to successfully suppress the Thunder.

"At 97:89, the Lakers defeated the Thunder to claim the first game of the series. Congratulations to the Lakers ......"
