Unlike ordinary teams that play casually, even if they are behind, they can win with just one force, and the strength of the Thunder is definitely one of the best teams in the league.

When D'Antoni called a timeout, he adjusted his team's offensive strategy while strengthening his team's defense near the three-point line.

After the timeout, the two teams returned to the court, the Lakers.

This time, the Lakers came back and hit the ball directly into the hands of Whiteside under the basket, and asked Whiteside to single-handedly pick up Adams under the basket.

Adams's defensive ability is extremely strong, but Whiteside is stronger, born in 1989, he is now 26 years old and almost 27 years old, he is at the peak of his physical fitness, and his ability to use his body is also super strong, although Adams has strength and defensive impact is also very strong, but Whiteside is stronger, Adams has no choice.

Whiteside turned and leaned in to throw a small hook hand away from Adams for an easy hit.

The Thunder came over and passed the ball to Westbrook first, and Westbrook was obviously very good today.

Westbrook burst into the wing from the right and made a pull-up jumper.

Westbrook hit another shot from the stop, and Westbrook felt good today, and he landed firmly in the Lakers' basket as soon as he shot the ball.

At this time, it was time for Liu Ren to make a move, and Clarkson pushed forward again.

Liu Ren swam to the baseline first, and only when Clarkson came up did he run out to catch the ball.

After getting the ball, Liu Ren and Westbrook almost got to the same offense, using the cover to go around, then retreated to the side, raised their hands and threw a mid-range shot.

The Thunder immediately pushed in, and the Lakers' defense began to increase aggressiveness.

Clarkson began to circle Westbrook when the Thunder served, and Clarkson was indeed inferior to Westbrook in terms of explosiveness, but the speed was not bad at all, and he was more active and stalking.

On the Thunder's side, Witesse can only be responsible for dribbling and advancing, and there is a chance that Durant's possession of the ball will be snatched away by Liu Ren.

Vitesse advanced to the scene and wanted to pass to Durant or Westbrook, but Kobe Bryant blocked Vitesse's passing route, and Wieters finally passed the ball to Durant, who was receiving above.

Durant took the ball over and faced Liu Ren in the middle, Liu Ren grabbed a step to defend and wanted to steal Durant, Durant's biggest problem on the offensive end is that he doesn't hold the ball well, even if he made great progress in the year of Westbrook's injury, but it is still easy to be stealed, and the Spurs play them so well because Durant is always directly tackled by Leonard's death.

However, the Thunder also knew Durant's weakness, so Ibaka came out to block Liu Ren, and this is the home court of the Thunder, Ibaka directly grabbed Liu Ren's jersey and stuck it together, and the referee didn't blow it, Durant took the opportunity to stride forward and hit the basket.

When he got to the basket, Durant turned around twice in a row, two feints, and Whiteside didn't want to make up for the defense, after all, Whiteside was the center, and Durant was so tall that he couldn't keep up with the speed and could only jump up, Durant dodged Whiteside's right-handed throw and sent the ball to the Lakers' basket.

At this time, the score of the two teams was 13-6, and the Thunder continued to suppress the Lakers with home-court advantage!

The Lakers hit again.

Clarkson took the ball and waited on the right sideline, Liu Renyou walked to the bottom line and ran out to the right side of the middle distance to receive the ball.

Liu Ren and Clarkson shifted all their attention to the right, at this time Kobe Bryant on the left used Green's cover to run outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, and the moment Liu Ren received the ball, he kept the ball in his hand and passed it to Kobe Bryant on the other side, and Kobe Bryant received the ball and hit a three-point shot.

Kobe Bryant's off-ball is really strong! The efficiency after playing without the ball is simply explosive! Even better than last season and 2012-2013, two of his most productive seasons!

The Thunder came back and the Lakers continued to defend with a pressing style.

The Lakers came up early to defend, forcing the Thunder to be unable to put the ball in Westbrook's hands, and could only pass the ball to Durant.

Ibaka wanted to come out to block this time but was stuck by Green, and Durant couldn't find a block and could only force a mid-distance throw against Liu Ren's defense.

Durant's mid-range smashed into the hoop and missed!

The Thunder finally have a missed ball!

Whiteside grabs the rebound, and the Lakers fight back!

Liu Ren and Clarkson flew quickly, Liu Ren received the ball, but Vitesse and Durant, who were chased back by the Thunder, were sandwiched, Liu Ren passed to Clarkson, and Clarkson took the ball and shot in the three-point line!

Today, the Lakers are real iron, and the mid-range shooting that Clarkson is very good at didn't make either.

Both teams missed shots, and the offense inexplicably began to decline.

By the middle of the first quarter, both teams began to decline, and the score began to slow down, and by the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 20-17, and the Thunder led by three points and entered the official timeout.

After the official timeout, the two teams replaced some substitutes, the Thunder replaced Westbrook and replaced Benno Udri, Westbrook has no use once he has no ball in his hand, and his defense is not good, in this case it is really not as useful as Udri's deadly style of play, and at the same time, he also replaced Andre Roberson, a defensive giant, and put Durant in the power forward position, Durant is the second tallest in the Thunder team, and there is no problem playing power forward on the offensive end, and he is still the best rebounding for the Thunder......

The Lakers replaced Antetokounmpo and Blake, two defensive giants, to help share Liu Ren's defensive pressure, Whiteside's defense is good, but Durant broke into him, he really has no choice, the pace can't keep up, just replace it with Blake, Antetokounmpo and Liu Ren can partner in the front line and make up for the defense at any time.

After a timeout, the Thunder possessed the ball, and Udri pushed over to give it to Durant, then went to the bottom corner to wait.

Durant was very uncomfortable by Liu Ren's ubiquitous small actions, and Antetokounmpo, who went directly to the free throw line to be ready to help defend at any time, also made Durant feel threatened, he could only pass the ball to the low post Adams, Adams basically did not attack, but the pass was good, he took the ball and immediately gave the ball to Yudri in the bottom corner.

Yudri is very hard, but there is also a problem, the offensive end only has the shooting button, and the ball is directly three-pointers.

Donovan's biggest fear after Coach Donovan replaced Yudri happened, Yudri's defense is more impactful, but the offensive end is too confident, and it is not allowed! The shots were scary, and the ball was grabbed by Antetokounmpo.

Fortunately, the Thunder returned to defense quickly.

The Lakers pushed forward, and now the Lakers' lineup is lighter, but the interior height advantage is gone, so it has become mainly based on cutting and high shooting.

Clarkson and Antetokounmpo blocked and dismantled high, Clarkson aimed at the cutting Black after blocking and threw off Adams, Clarkson saw that he had a chance to get an assist, and immediately passed over, who knew that Andre Robertson on the Thunder's side was already ready, and he pounced and grabbed the ball at once.

Andre Roberson got the ball and handed it to Udri who ran over, Andre Robert is really bad in other aspects except for defense, the only thing on the offensive end is the fixed point three-point, and he has a very strange place as a player, that is, the free throw shooting rate is not as high as the three-point shooting rate......

Udri almost couldn't suppress his shooting urge when he got to the frontcourt, but fortunately, Coach Donovan stood on the side of the court and stood up to him, and he quickly passed to Durant with a shudder.

Durant took the ball in the top corner of the left free throw line, and the rest of the team all pulled away to the right, Liu Ren defended Durant outside the three-point line, and it was Antetokounmpo's turn to defend near the three-second zone.

Antetokounmpo chose to defend at the top, and with Blake behind to help defend, Antetokounmpo was not afraid of being passed by Durant at all.

Caught in the defense of two people, Durant finally turned his body around and passed the ball to Vitesse outside, Vitesse was really helpless by Liu Ren's defense, so he could only pass back to Durant again.

The Thunder's embarrassment is that like many teams with superstars, role players are really not good, which is why team play is becoming more and more popular now, five quasi-first-class players play better and play more effectively than one superstar with four ordinary second-rate players!

Durant continued to get the ball, and Antetokounmpo and Blake caught up.

Durant was caught between the two, and he was about to make a mistake, but fortunately, although Udri was alone, his brain was not bad, and when he saw that the Lakers were empty, he threw off Clarkson and cut in, Durant passed the ball, and Udrich received the ball and flew to the basket and hit it.

Durant is Durant after all, and his ability to attract defense is too good.

The Lakers stabilized their mentality, did not rush, and continued to play according to tactics.

Can't give Clarkson the main control, Clarkson didn't feel good today, so he couldn't attract the defense when he blocked and dismantled, after all, he was still a sophomore player, and when he couldn't open the offense, he was a little panicked and a little aggressive, and this was the reason why he just wanted to pass to Blake.

Antetokounmpo advanced to the front court with the ball, Durant looked at Antetokounmpo's dribbling is really greedy, and said that Durant is tall, in fact, it is only two meters and nine to two meters and one zero, and Antetokounmpo is really a proper seven-foot big point guard! The dribble is so good, people are more popular than people.

The Lakers are ready to play a simple point, and Liu Ren is in the low post! Antetokounmpo was transported over and hung to Liu Ren, who leaned on Andre Roberson and was ready to fight!

Liu Ren has shown his O'Neill-style back play from time to time this season, and he has already made a name for himself.

Thanks to O'Neal's big mouth, everyone knew that Liu Renxia did not ask Kobe Bryant for advice, did not ask Olajuwon for advice, but found O'Neal, who claimed to be the great mentor......

Fans are worried about whether Liu Ren will become fatter and fatter like O'Neal, and the painting style of low-post offense is really dramatic......

Liu Ren fell into the low post and didn't hit the three-second zone, Adams and Durant defended it, because they knew that as long as Liu Ren crashed into the three-second zone, the jump up straight-arm small hook could not be stopped, and the height of the shot was not shorter than O'Neal's, if there was only one person to wrap the clip, Liu Ren could directly turn around and throw the shot from the other side, so Durant and Adams were clamped from both directions.

Unconsciously, Liu Ren's low post has become a great tactical play, and his progress every year is seen in the eyes of fans, which is why his fans are getting more and more year by year.

Liu Ren attracted the bag and threw the ball from the back of his head, and Blake jumped high to grab the ball with both hands and pressed it into the Thunder's basket.

Just like Durant's unsolvable teammates who attract the bag and pass to the air, Liu Ren's ball-holding offense on the Lakers' side is also inexplicable for the Thunder.

The current situation is that both the Lakers and the Thunder are not so comfortable.

When Whiteside is not there, the Lakers' defense under the basket is relatively empty, but when Whiteside is there, there is no such fast center to help defend Durant.

On the Thunder side, they encountered Liu Ren and Antetokounmpo, two guys who did not follow the usual way of playing, and it was awkward to defend them.

The Thunder called a timeout, replaced Westbrook again, replaced Waiters, who didn't play a role, and Coach Donovan didn't care about his physical strength, this anxious state The Lakers are not in a hurry, but he is in a hurry! When there are more and more rotation players, the Thunder's bench will definitely be pressed by the Lakers, and since there are so many Coach Novan, they can only use Westbrook and Durant to death.

It's the Thunder offense again.

Westbrook controlled the ball, Westbrook controlled the ball at a much faster pace, and ran over quickly, Durant and Adams immediately put on a double screen at a 45-degree angle on the right to cover Westbrook to break through on the sideline.

Under the protection of double cover, Westbrook broke through at a rapid speed, so that the Lakers defense was attracted to Westbrook.

Westbrook passed the ball to, and the latter, despite his clumsy offensive ability, had a good shot in the open space, and Clarkson immediately made up for it, and Andre Robertson immediately passed it to Yudri who ran to the top of the arc.

Udri made a quick three-point shot, and this time Udri's wave shot was finally accurate, and it simply fell into the Lakers' basket.

Durant can rely on his mid-range shooting ability to play his teammates in the air, and Westbrook frees up the team's outside shooters, and the two are as strong as they were at the beginning of the game with the Thunder.

The Lakers stabilized their mentality and attacked.

Liu Ren took a step past Andre Roberson with the ball on the outside, broke through into the inside line from the right side, Adams hurriedly came over to help defend, Liu Ren waited for Adams to defend and passed the ball to Blake behind Adams.

Blake faced an empty basket and dunked the ball! Durant couldn't help it, and was hit by Blake, a guy with muscles all over his body at first glance...... It is estimated that his thin bamboo pole can fall apart.

Blake continued to dunk, and the Thunder hit consecutive outside and air cuts, and the game suddenly entered a fierce stage again.

Still didn't play an advantage, the Thunder felt very sad, and now they are almost their strongest lineup, and the result is not an advantage over the Lakers' rotation lineup.

The Thunder went on the offensive.

Durant once again leaned into a position a little outside the three-second zone, Westbrook passed in, and Durant directly turned over and hit Antetokounmpo off guard.

Antetokounmpo's attention was on Durant's pass after attracting the defense, but he didn't expect Durant to shoot directly, this position was not interfered with, and Durant hit a high percentage and landed straight to the basket.

Although the Thunder couldn't pull the score today, they actually played really perfectly in the first quarter! It's just that the Lakers are too strong.

It can only be said that the Lakers and the Warriors, the two super teams, are really incomprehensible.

The Lakers attacked, if the Thunder didn't score, the Lakers would attack quickly, the Thunder scored, the Lakers fell low to press the rhythm, and Liu Ren fell low again and stuck Andre Roberson reaching out for the ball.

Antetokounmpo immediately sent the ball to Liu Ren's hands.

Liu Ren took the ball on the baseline and hit it directly, this time the Thunder team and the Lakers were very entangled when they defended, whether to cover it or not? Adams hesitated at the thought of Blake's brutal physicality.

Just when Adams hesitated, Liu Ren directly knocked Andre Roberson into the interior and turned over and dunked to score two points.

There are still some Lakers fans at the Thunder's home court, they saw Liu Ren's back play in this way, and then thought of O'Neal saying that he was Liu Ren's training teacher, and the whole person was not good.

In the past, Liu Ren hit the opponent's outside line with his back and forced the buckle, and the fans didn't think there was anything bad, but felt very domineering.

But now, people feel that Liu Ren seems to be going astray by O'Neill.

If you can't prevent it, you can only rely on attack.

Westbrook dribbled forward, but as soon as he dribbled to the frontcourt, the Lakers swooped out, and Clarkson rushed straight out to press the defense, blocking Westbrook in the middle line.

Clarkson was too non-existent today, he didn't contribute at all, and D'Antoni didn't replace him, which made him moved and blamed himself, so he thought sideways and directly blocked the deadly defense.

Westbrook saw Clarkson's eyes, and instantly the psychological shadow came out again, and he thought of Beverley...... Westbrook immediately passed the ball to Yudri, who came to pick it up.

Yudri had just scored a goal, and now his confidence exploded, rushing beyond the three-point line and ignoring his opponent......

Liu Ren had a premonition when he saw Yu Dry rushing over, but he didn't think that anyone would be so brainless, but Liu Ren still jumped up subconsciously.

Just when Liu Ren secretly screamed badly, thinking that Yudri would take advantage of this to break through, he saw Yudri also jump up and throw directly......

Liu Ren snatched the ball from the air......

Liu Ren grabbed the cover with a cover! He himself felt so surprised! This guy wasn't so flustered when he was a grizzly bear! Came to the Thunder to liberate nature?

Yudri hurriedly fouled to stop Liu Ren's fast attack, he wanted to use his foul to stop the Lakers from counterattacking, but it was better to let Liu Ren counterattack, the Thunder team has fouled more than 4 times in a single quarter, Yudri fouled this time and it was time for free throws, Liu Ren walked to the free throw line, and the Thunder was called a timeout again.

With more than a minute left in the first quarter, Billy Donovan sighed and replaced Westbrook, Durant and Adams in one go, it is indeed time to replace the bench, otherwise the three of them will play full in the first quarter, and there will not be too long a break in the second quarter, and there will really be no way to deal with the Lakers at that time.

In the second quarter, both teams began to completely switch to the rotation, and Liu Ren also went down on the Lakers' side.

The lineup on the Thunder's side became Udry, Anthony Morrow, Kyle Singler, Andre Roberson, Kanter.

The Thunder's shooting ability is really not bad, much better than the Lakers, and Udri is a master of messing around, Anthony Morrow's shooting, Kyle Singler is in charge of coaching and shooting, Andre Roberson has three-pointers, and Kanter's interior singles are also very good.

However, this lineup is basically defenseless, and the only defensive strength is Andre Roberson, but he goes to play power forward...... There is basically no defense left.

But who called the Thunder lineup disabled, there are six small forwards, and they are about to envy the Clippers to death.

With N'Golo Kante defending the black hole on the inside, and small forward Andre Roberson playing power forward, it's impossible to talk about the strength of the inside defense.

Not to mention the defense of Anthony Morrow, Kyle Singler, and Udri on the outside, either they are old, they are short, or they don't know if they are in rotation by P-Y trades.

Compared with the Thunder, the Lakers' defense is quite assured, and with Gasol and Black on the inside, they can completely block most of the offense under the basket.

The outside McCollum defense is above the average level, although LaVine is thin and weak, but he has good physical fitness and good confrontation, and Antetokounmpo is even more comfortable playing small forward, playing the same role as Liu Ren's outside defensive gate.

This is also the biggest advantage of the Lakers over the Thunder, which is that most of the stars are not well paid, and then there are many high-quality role players.

Coach Donovan's sad time came, and from the end of the first quarter to the first half of the second quarter, the situation on the court was in control of the Lakers.

Originally, there was a five-point lead, but after entering the rotation time completely, the Lakers began to press the Thunder to the ground, and the game played in the third minute of the second quarter, and the Lakers did not score but overtook the score, and also led the Thunder by nine points at 40-31.
