Four days ago, the Thunder lost to the Lakers on the road, and for the Thunder, losing on the road is not unacceptable, and playing the Lakers is not a key battle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But back at home, the Thunder are absolutely unwilling to lose again, especially for a team that is aiming for a championship, just lost to the Lakers four days ago, and this time the Thunder team is of course holding their strength and ready to take revenge.

Coach Brooks of the Thunder team also learned to be obedient, he knew that the big man lineup was too bad to play the Lakers, so he changed the lineup again and replaced Perry Jones with Andre Robertson as the starter. In this way, Ibaka is back to the familiar power forward position.

Andre Roberson is also a rookie player, very good defensively, but the offense is poor, he is 2.01 meters tall, he played power forward in college, and belongs to the kind of blue-collar player who can grab rebounds and play diligently. After coming to the Thunder, he was asked by the coach to play a shooting guard and small forward.

Because he is a big forward-turned-player, Roberson has little shooting ability, let alone a three-point shot, and he has few scoring means other than layups and dunks. In these days, as a shooting guard or small forward, it is very rare not to shoot three-pointers.

Robertson's role on the pitch is primarily defensive. In the last game between the two sides, Meeks' excellent play was one of the Lakers' winning weapons, and this time the Thunder let Robertson play the start, mainly to limit Meeks.

……

Looking at Roberson in front of him, Meeks pursed his lips with some disdain.

"Where did the first-grade rookie come from, dare to guard against me! Let me teach you a lesson! Meeks thought as he began to dribble.

However, no matter what Meeks feints, Robertson is a team that clings to Meeks.

"Damn, where did you come from such a clingy guy, he's quite strong!" Meeks lost a breakaway, and he was just starting when he was stopped by Meeks.

"Jodi, pay attention for 24 seconds!" Wesley Johnson's voice rang out, and Meeks had no choice but to make a strong shot, but luckily, the ball bounced twice on the basket and finally went in.

"Andrey, good defense! We just had luck with this goal, so keep up the good work! Durant stepped forward and patted Robertson on the shoulder.

The encouragement of the boss boosted Robertson's morale, and he then worked hard defensively.

Meeks found out that the newcomer he looked down on was so difficult, and Meeks was stared at by Robertson whether he was in a state of no desire or in a state of holding the ball.

0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 0 turnovers, 1 foul, this is Andre Roberson's stats in the first quarter. He played a full 8 minutes in this quarter, and as a starter, 8 minutes of such statistics is really pitiful, and it can be called the worst starter. But he managed to lock up Meeks, who shot just 1-of-5 in the first quarter. The Thunder sacrificed an offense at the No. 2 position in exchange for Meeks' dumb fire.

On the inside, Ibaka, who returned to the inside, also brought a lot of trouble to Gasol, with Ibaka's defense, Adams gradually entered the state, although he will still be deceived by Gasol into fouling, but compared with the last game, Gasol's offense is no longer so sharp on the court.

The benches of both sides appeared one after another, and on the bench of the Thunder team, Caron Butler, Reggie Jackson, Perry Jones, Collison, "Old Fish" Fisher, Lamb, this lineup has more depth than the current Lakers, but fortunately, the Lakers' Nedsmore and Famar played well, barely resisting the offensive of the Thunder bench.

60-46, the Lakers trailed the Thunder by 14 points in the first half.

……

In the locker room, the morale of the Lakers did not look very high.

Zhang Guan looked at his teammates around him, and at this time, he suddenly had a trace of realization in his heart.

In the previous games, although the Lakers have encountered some "hard stubble", there are always role players who have stepped up, such as Meeks, such as Bazemore, such as Famar, and even the "little Kobe" Marshon Brooks, who has played some well. They're not the core of the team, and their sudden outburst is more of an added bonus, as long as one role player plays well, Zhang Guan and Gasol only need to play normally, and the Lakers can get the win.

But today's situation is different, and the Lakers' role players seem to have all been beaten back to their original shape, neither on the court nor in their individual stats.

"Maybe that's why the team is looking for big stars. Good role players are important, but a lot of the time, it's the big stars of the team who decide the winner! And now, it's my turn to score. ”

Zhang Guan thought about the current score, the 14-point deficit made Zhang Guan feel a little pressure, the opponent was the Thunder team after all, and it was not easy to recover 14 points from the Thunder team.

……

Wei Shao stared at Zhang Guan with straight eyes, in the first half of the game, he almost gave up attacking and assisting, and went all out to mark Zhang Guan, so far it seems that the effect of this is not bad, Zhang Guan did not play too well in the first half.

"With a 14-point lead, as long as we can continue to limit Zhang Guan, this victory will definitely belong to us!" Wei Shao was pondering, but Zhang Guan suddenly stopped.

One step outside the three-point line, Zhang Guan jumped up and shot, hit!

"Zhang Guan, long-distance three-point shot! Entered! ”

Wei Shaoxin frowned unwillingly, this kind of long-distance three-point shot is indeed a bit incomprehensible.

Durant broke through to make a foul and scored two free throws, and when it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Zhang Guan did draw a scoop with a gourd, and also used a breakthrough to cause the Thunder's inside foul, and then hit two free throws.

Wei Shao was even more unhappy in his heart, and unconsciously increased his defensive actions.

Zhang Guan took the ball again and forcibly broke through directly, but Wei Shao did not flinch and used his body to meet him.

"Zhang Guan, beat Westbrook strongly, oops, how to use it, this ball is fouled!" In the sigh of the commentator, Wei Shao's hand movement was a little unfavorable, and an obvious foul was caught by the referee.

"This ball defense is too urgent, Russell is a little uncalm!" Durant also felt that Wei Shao was in a hurry.

But Wei Shao was like an enraged calf, continuing to fight with Zhang Guan.

Wei Shao's defense was still too reliant on his body, and only three minutes later, Wei Shao ate another foul, and Coach Brooks had to ask for a timeout to let Wei Shao calm down.

Wei Shao is not without defensive skills, on the contrary, his defensive skills are still very good, but Wei Shao's physical fitness is even better, at least in the usual games, Wei Shao does not need to use any defensive skills, just use his body to prevent opponents, so gradually, Wei Shao's defense has also become dependent on body and awareness, he is not used to using skills to defend.

Coming back from the timeout, the Lakers unexpectedly brought on Thackeray.

Although Thackeray is a sophomore, he is really inferior to Adams in the first year in terms of personal ability, and Thackeray has few scoring means other than air cuts. Shooting inaccurately, rebounding poorly, and lacking defensive speed, sending such a player on the court made Thunder head coach Brooks completely unclear.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew, and Thunder center Adams stood there with an innocent expression.

Durant threw the basketball on the ground with some disappointment, he had already thought about how to organize the offense, and was about to start, but was interrupted by this whistle.

"Thackeray fouled Adams! Fouled as soon as he got on the court, this Thackeray is really good for nothing but being tall, and it is more appropriate for him to stand on the bench and wave a towel. Ibaka pursed her lips and muttered to herself.

Now Adams is on the Thunder team, he is not responsible for offensive tasks at all, he is more of a rebounder, and there is not much time for the ball to pass to him, let alone a single opportunity, so this is the first time he has stood at the free throw line in this game.

Adams walked to the free throw line, Adams in his rookie season was as anxious as Jordan Jr. in terms of free throws, and later, his service rate was relatively average, and Popovich also sacrificed the tactic of cutting Adams many times.

Sure enough, Adams missed both free throws, Zhang Guan rushed up and grabbed the rebound, turned around and ran up, and played a fast break.

"Zhang Guan, fast attack!" As soon as Ibaka reacted, Zhang Guan had already rushed to the midfield position quickly.

Wei Shao and Roberson pounced at the same time, and Zhang Guan was obviously bullying Robertson as a newcomer and specializing in Robertson's side.

"Foul, stop him!" Wei Shao shouted, and Robertson understood and immediately stretched out his hand.

"Wait a minute! Don't foul! Wei Shao changed his caliber again, because he found that Zhang Guan was already about to make a layup, and a foul at this time was equivalent to sending Zhang Guan to the free throw line.

But Robertson had already made a move, he grabbed Zhang Guan's arm, but it didn't affect Zhang Guan's start, only to see Zhang Guan jump high, and then throw the ball like a blue frame.

"Goal scored, penalty added! Robertson is really not enough, and he was deceived by Zhang Guan to commit a foul this time! The narrator spoke.

Wei Shao walked up to Robertson and said: "The next time you foul, the reporter will be ruthless, and you must not give Zhang Guaner a chance to add one!" ”

Roberson nodded, but he felt very wronged in his heart, he was indeed ruthless in the foul just now, but he didn't hold Zhang Guan. But as the younger brother, the lesson of the second master, Robertson did not dare to refute it at all.

The Thunder attacked again with the ball, but the whistle blew again.

"Another foul on Thackeray? Adams Free Throws...... Wait a minute, I see, it's chopping Addams! "Coach Brooks, even if he was sluggish, has already reacted at this point.

Adams is only a first-year rookie, and although the No. 12 pick is also in the lottery, there will never be a tactical plan against him. But today, the Lakers came to cut Adams, which suddenly made Adams feel flattered.

The earliest hacking tactics were aimed at the "big shark" O'Neill, so it is also called the shark cutting tactic; Later, in order to deal with Howard, another team used the "chopping tactic". But both O'Neal and Howard are the league's top centers. O'Neal's dominance needs no introduction, Howard is also known as the league's No. 1 center, and now, such a tactic has been used on a first-year freshman, no one expected.

Adams walked to the free throw line again with an inexplicable face, this time Adams hit one of two free throws, and the Lakers used the next offense to score two more points.

In two rounds, the Thunder were chased back by the Lakers by four points, and judging from this result, this slashing tactic was very successful.

"It's the Thunder's turn to attack again, do the Lakers still have to cut it?"

However, this time, the Lakers did not cut people, and Wei Shao was careless when passing the ball and was stealed by Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan is fast attacking, this ball has no chance, Durant and Ibaka have already returned to defense. Directly grabbed three points and scored! The commentator took a deep breath and continued: "This ball is played beautifully, Zhang Guan took advantage of the gap in the Thunder team's defensive breakthrough, played a time difference, and grabbed three points. Now the score is 82-81, and the Lakers have overtaken the score! ”

……

The score was overtaken, Wei Shao began to look impatient, and in the face of Zhang Guan, he really wanted to win.

I saw Wei Shao holding the ball and breaking through directly after blocking and dismantling with Ibaka, but Durant, who had just run out of the vacant position, was directly ignored by Wei Shao. Wei Shao faced the defender and scored the ball.

This is completely a reflection of individual ability, and in terms of individual ball-handling singles, Wei Shao is indeed more suitable than Durant. However, this kind of bayonet-style offense relying on individual ability is not good news for the Thunder.

And Zhang Guan's long-distance three-point shooting is also continuing to open.

"Zhang Guan, three-point shot, re-hit, Zhang Guan's current three-point shot is 6 of 12, with a 50 percent shooting rate!"

"Zhang Guan made 7 of 13 three-point shots!"

Zhang Guan made 8 of 15 three-pointers! He's already got 38 points! ”

"Zhang Guan, three-point shot! Again! ”

……

"Is it Zhang Guan or Curry in front of me? Curry's average is to shoot 8 three-pointers in a game, and Zhang Guan has already shot 16 three-pointers in this game! Hey, come back, 17th! It's good that I didn't get in! ”

Wei Shao was scared out of a cold sweat by this three-point shot, the score at this time was 122-120, still the Lakers were ahead, and the game time was less than 40 seconds, if Zhang Guan scored again, the Thunder team could basically surrender.

However, the Thunder did not protect this rebound, Gasol was really the key ball, and Ibaka did not grab Gasol. And after Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound, he took a small step and scored the ball.

At 124-120, the Lakers led by four points.

The Thunder chose a strong attack, they planned to score a two-point first, and then try to prevent the next shot as much as possible, but the Lakers defended very quickly, and Zhang Guan also targeted Wei Shao, who held the ball.

At the same time, Bazemore rushed up to trap Wei Shao. Originally, Zhang Guan alone made Wei Shao feel more difficult, and now with the addition of a tougher Bazemore, Wei Shao's pressure suddenly increased.

"Oops, this goal for Russell is going to be conceded!" Durant realized that the situation was not good and immediately rushed up to respond, but Durant was still a step late, and Wei Shao's ball was still lost.

The referee's whistle blew and a scrum was awarded, which actually helped the Thunder a bit, but who made the home team! Moreover, at this time, the leader is still the Lakers, and it is still a 4-point lead, and a scrum is not enough to determine the final victory.

Wei Shao and Zhang Guan competed for the ball, and the result can be imagined. Although Wei Shao's bounce is very good, compared with Zhang Guan, the world champion in the long jump, it is really not a grade.

This time, Wei Shao lost, the Lakers controlled the ball, the Thunder had no choice but to foul, and after the Lakers scored two free throws, the difference widened to six points.

The Thunder missed a three-point shot and fouled again, and the Lakers hit one of two free throws to maintain a seven-point lead, and the Thunder grabbed a three-point shot again and still missed, so they gave up the game.

The score was fixed at 127-120, and the Lakers won away against the Thunder.

And in the next two games, the Lakers still have to play the same team in a row, this is an opponent as terrible as the Thunder, but more profound than the Thunder: the San Antonio Spurs!
