Chapter 117: Western Conference Finals

There were no waves in the first quarter. The Lakers did not widen the score gap www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, and they obviously had room to spare. After the fifth minute, he took turns to take a break. And the Thunder were not able to seize the opportunity to overtake. Of course, the performance of the players on the field is also remarkable, but the smooth cooperation between the three is rare.

Westbrook and Serge Ibaka have shown quality to match their respective positions in the team.

The first quarter ended with caution on the part of coaches on both sides.

Usually, the Lakers' games start in the second quarter and open up the score gap with their opponents. Will it be the same this time? At the beginning of the second quarter, all the main players of the Lakers returned to the court.

The game was teed off by the Lakers. At this time, there was a sudden burst of shouts outside the stadium, "、......" This was a manifestation of the audience's dissatisfaction with the laziness of observance, and loudly encouraged them to stop being lazy.

Li Jing looked strange, and whispered to Mozgov next to him: "Is our game really bad in the first quarter?" The audience is so dissatisfied? ”

"It's not bad, but who made us the Lakers. Come on, we can't let these fans who support us down. ”

Li Jing scolded with a smile: "Damn, this should be me saying this usually, what are you pretending to be serious." ”

Mozgov laughed: "It's not a big deal to make a cameo once in a while. ”

"You two stop talking nonsense." A cold voice sounded behind them, "The ball is coming." While speaking, the basketball flew straight towards the back of their heads with a strong wind, Li Jing hurriedly grabbed the ball in his hand, and said with palpitations: "Are you passing the ball or smashing people?" ”

"Both!" The only thing that can teach two bigwigs a lesson with the ball on the pitch is Dawn, another big guy of the team. After saying this, Dawn suddenly started, and the figure passed by Li Jing like a flash, and when the audience captured his figure again, he was already in the defensive lineup of the Thunder team, and the basketball that was originally in Li Jing's hands didn't know when it was already in his hands.

Westbrook stopped Dawn in time to continue to break through.

Suddenly, Dawn's slender figure rose suddenly, and the basketball was withdrawn at the same time and raised-shot. Without thinking, Westbrook jumped up to stop.

"Whoosh!" Dawn lifted the basketball in his hand and suddenly withdrew it, and with a left-handed backhand in the air, he flicked the basketball to the left side of his body. Just when the audience didn't know why, suddenly a figure came out, took the ball in Liming's hand and went straight to the inside of the Thunder team.

Only then did the audience notice that Li Jing and Mozgov, who were originally behind, didn't know when, as if two offline feather arrows were quickly inserted from the left and right sides of Liming, but it was Li Jing who took the ball from Liming's hand. Li Jing continued on the left side of the Thunder penalty area. There was a sudden chaos on the inside of the Thunder team. Who dares to underestimate the scoring ability of the NBA's No. 1 scoring champion, and several people pounced at the same time. Leap high to block Li Jing's shot. "Whoosh!" Li Jing made a move, and the blue ball gently hung out an arc and flew over the "hand wall" composed of Thunder players under the basket and flew towards the basket.

At that moment, Li Jing's shot seemed to be big, and the basketball flew over the basket to the other side of the penalty area. Just when the Thunder players were rejoicing, a big fan suddenly appeared under the basket, grabbed the basketball in the air, and pressed it into the basket!

This is naturally Mozgov on the other side.

This is the cooperation, unpredictable!

The three of them raised their hands in the air and high-fived each other. "Boom!" Louder cheers rang out in the stadium, thunderous applause and tsunami-like cheers swept and shook the stadium, spreading far away, and the ground could be felt far away outside the stadium.

This is the invincible combination, known as the best combination in the history of the NBA.

Miraculous and unpredictable, this is the media's description of cooperation, which is stubborn and indestructible, this is the media's evaluation of combat effectiveness.

Nowadays, it seems that there is no exaggeration at all. The three people who formed it seemed to have become a whole with three heads and six arms, and no one knew which one they would attack from the next moment. Liming, Li Jing, and Mozgov, all three of them are not obsessed with whether the goal is completed by themselves, they use the pass to pursue the highest offensive efficiency - to send the ball to the basket in the most reliable way and the highest success rate.

It's no wonder that the Lakers consistently score more than 100 points per game.

The offense and defense were transposed, and the Thunder counterattacked.

The second quarter had just begun, and it was far from time to pause and adjust the game. The Thunder team is not Wuxia Amon, as a giant team, they have been in the West for many years, and they have a very tenacious psychological quality to resist blows.

Westbrook's passing, interior players coming out to do high post pick-and-rolls, and after two consecutive pick-and-rolls on the outside, the scoring guard got the basketball outside the unguarded corner three-point line and raised his hand to shoot. "Smack!" The basketball landed on the basket and bounced high to the perimeter, picking it up for Dawn, who was wandering around the three-point line.

The Thunder seem to have been running out of luck for a long time.

But their bad luck doesn't seem to be over yet.

After missing the ball and confiscating the rebound to the opponent, you don't have to explain to the unknown players of the Thunder team on the court to know what they have to do - quickly return to defense! The Lakers fought back quickly in the first quarter, and they still have lingering fears.

There is vigilance in their hearts, but it is not entirely up to them to do it. After getting the basketball, the dawn basketball has started and accelerated before it can grasp its shape. One step out, the body has already led the opponent by half a position.

The body starts, accelerates, and only after the speed is up, "Bang!" "A basketball touchdown dribbles. Before the second step landed, it made the Thunder players want to call it "walking". If you are someone else, you may be in a hurry or even fall because of the uncoordinated dribbling and strides. Only dawn can be so calm and light. When the speed is up, Dawn's speed advantage is fully apparent. Even with the ball, the lead of half a body made it difficult for the Thunder's tall guards chasing behind to get close.

In the sound of "pop, pop ......", Dawn's figure with the ball rushed towards the opposite side like a whirlwind, followed by the Thunder players who desperately returned to the defense and the Lakers who participated in the offense.

Free throw line. "Smack!" As soon as the ball started, the figure with the ball jumped up at the same time. With great inertia, the leaping figure flew into the air. Fly towards the basket. With one hand on the ball, a lever in the air, a wrist turn, and a gentle pick with one hand, the basketball flies up and down lightly, and plunges into the basket!

Ball in!

Perfect goal!

If it were Li Jing or other top small men in the NBA, such a goal might not be impossible to make. But it was rare that none of them could do such a difficult movement with such light and grace as Dawn. The whole process is done in one go, without the slightest reluctance, without the slightest smell of fireworks. It's as pure as if it's a performance on stage.

The elegant and beautiful performance on the court is another important reason why he can become the most popular star in the NBA and the idol of the beauties as an outsider.

The elegance of dawn is not a little pretentious and reluctant, and when it is calm to the extreme, it is perfect. No one can say anything about Calm.

Liming, who completed the goal, turned around and high-fived Li Jing and Mozgov, who raised their right hands head-on.

The cheers from the sidelines were endless. From time to time, there was a screaming female voice: "Dawn, so handsome!" "Dawn, I love you" and so on. The CCTV commentator who broadcast the game said: "Dawn is really popular with girls!" ”

The commentary consultant on the commentary seat also smiled and said: "Yes, conquering American fans starts with conquering their female fans." Dawn: This is quite a successful step. After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed. (Being able to laugh so freely when commenting on TV is quite rare in terms of CCTV.) I just don't know that these two people are after the show is over. Will it be ordered to write a review. )

As a Chinese television media, when broadcasting the NBA, it has a distinct stance that distinguishes it from the American media. There is no doubt that the domestic media and domestic fans are clearly on the side of the Lakers who have the dawn. And the commentator's lightness undoubtedly gave the audience this message: the Lakers are in good shape right now.

That's certainly the situation for the Lakers on the court. After the Thunder failed to attack once, the difference between the two sides has widened to 10 points. This is the first time that the difference between the two sides has been stretched to double digits, which is a dangerous message. The coach of the Thunder team just wanted to call a timeout, and in the Lakers' perimeter offense on the court, Li Jing made a decisive three-pointer to stretch the difference to 13 points.

Thirteen points. If the difference of 10 points is not enough to affect the morale of the Thunder players, but with the addition of this three-point effect, the effect is immediately different. Although these three points cannot be said to be the last straw that crushes the camel. But the air of panic has inadvertently spread among the Thunder players. Just thinking about how to chase the 13-point gap back to single digits already makes these players feel terrified.

Thunder players may believe that their team won't be supporting their opponents, but ask themselves if they can score more goals than the opposing team in equal circumstances. On this very real problem, I am afraid that no one dares to say that it can. The attack power shown in this game is really too perverted. They almost saw the goal as a mustard. So far in the game, all the shots that have been shot seem to have missed.

The coach of the Thunder team on the sidelines finally waited for a timeout and immediately called a timeout. At this time, the adjustment of tactics is no longer the most important, the first thing the coach of the Thunder team needs to do is how to adjust the mentality of the players. This is where the immaturity of college players comes in: the psychological fluctuations are very noticeable. It's easy to get depressed after being hit, and of course, you can also be inexplicably uplifted under the encouragement of the coach. The Thunder's coach clearly understands this, and the unease and frustration on the faces of the Thunder players quickly faded. Instead, there was an uplifting expression and high morale. And then the rest of the time, the Thunder coach simply laid out the tactics. Focus on strengthening the effectiveness of the offensive. As for defense, the Thunder's coach thought that it was still very early, and it was not yet time to fight hard -- so far, the Thunder's defense was the best that could be done, and the so-called strengthening of defense could only be a full-court pressing or foul tactic with both interests and risks.

I don't know if it's due to their coach's tactical adjustments, anyway, the Thunder's offense hit this time. The three-pointer on the perimeter and the score gap returned to 10 points, which made the confidence of the Thunder players come back all of a sudden. Morale is also higher.

"Old fox!" Outside the court, Wharton looked at the Thunder coach opposite, and said secretly in his heart.

The attackers on the field were in a different position, and Mozgov finally missed the first goal of the game. The basket is in contention. The rebound fell into Ibaka's hands. The Lakers on the outside took the lead in returning to defense. When the ball in Ibaka's hand passed to their point guard Westbrook, Liming, Clarkson, and Li Jing had already returned to the defense, and the Thunder lost the opportunity to break fast.

The offensive and defensive positions test the Thunder's ability to attack fortifications. Westbrook has fallen into the quagmire trap set for him by the Lakers after consecutive breakaways, and so far there has been no effective solution. This time, Westbrook chose to try it from the other side. Larkson defends head-on, and Dawn responds. Westbrook broke through the first line of defence and met the dawn of the fill-in. This is where the problem arises, and Dawn's seemingly loose unhurried follow slows Westbrook's pace. He had to slow down, and his opponent's imminent follow-up made him a great threat. Westbrook is sure. If you force your way through, there are only two consequences: the referee's whistle - a foul. Or simply give the basketball to the opponent directly. Westbrook has no doubt that his opponent has the ability.

Now that he was sure that his breakthrough would not lead to anything, Westbrook was not a reckless man who did not hit the south wall and did not look back, so he immediately made a quick stop, and raised the basketball above his head - the right hand was the main one, the left hand was the auxiliary, and the shooting action was already laid out. Outside the box, Westbrook has a decent shooting percentage as an offensive scorer. Dawn is ten centimeters shorter than Westbrook. And when the opponent's shooting action came out, he didn't immediately jump up to block it, but just raised his hands and pressed it.

Westbrook's eyes flashed unnaturally, but the movements of his hands did not stop. Bend your knees, leap into the air, "Whoosh! "The basketball shot forced the shot.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, but the figure of Dawn, who was holding his hands high on the spot, suddenly rose like a helicopter, and the fingers of his right hand gently padbed the bottom of the flying basketball, and the arc of the basketball flew suddenly rose. As a direct result of the change in the basketball flight route, the following results are:

"Smack!" The basketball hits the rebound and bounces out.

This goal, missed! The rebound ball was taken away by Li Jing.

The audience only saw that after Westbrook made a shooting move, Dawn's reaction seemed to be half a beat slower, but fortunately, he was amazingly fast, and his jump was still worthy of touching the basketball.

Whether this is really the case, and how many thoughts have turned in the minds of the two people at the snap of a finger, the person concerned himself cannot understand.

Westbrook's shooting action was originally a feint to attract Dawn to jump up and wait for an opportunity to pass the ball to the inside, but when he saw that the opponent did not do what he wanted, he took advantage of the situation to make it come true. It's just that although it is a temporary change, the smoothness of the whole shooting action is not fake at all, if it is not for the cushion in the sky of dawn, the result must be that the basketball falls through the frame.

It can be said that this time the intrigue between the two has won once.

After Li Jing picked up the rebound, he didn't wait for dawn to immediately attack, and took the ball to the opposite side. With the lessons learned from the past few times, the Thunder players are very quick to return to the defense. Leaving one person to contain Li Jing's speed, the others retracted like a tide.

Li Jing saw that he had lost the opportunity to attack quickly, and he was not reluctant to hand the ball to Liming immediately, and he would organize the attack.

Dawn received the ball and glanced ahead, taking in the situation on the field. Almost immediately, he had a problem with the ball in his mind. "Papai ......" rushed towards Clarkson with the ball diagonally, and the two men were staggered, and it seemed that it was another blocking and dismantling cover. The Thunder players have long been mentally prepared for the two people on the outside to exchange opponents with each other. Westbrook moved inside the circle with Dawn, but he quickly regretted it when he realized that he didn't know when Dawn was empty.

What about balls?

On the line of the penalty area, Li Jing turned around and jumped up, but what was it in his raised hands? "Whoosh!" The ball is shot, and the basketball makes an arc and plunges into the basket.

How so? How did the ball get into Li Jing's hands? Westbrook's eyes were wide open and his face was full of disbelief. There was also a slight uproar in the audience, obviously many viewers did not understand how the basketball got into Li Jing's hands.

The big screen over the stadium is defended in slow motion. Clarkson and Dawn were staggered, Westbrook and his teammates exchanged defensive opponents, and both of them stubbornly stopped each other from getting closer, and a gap between the two men inevitably appeared. It was too late, and it was too fast, Liming, who had already completed the crossing with Clarkson, suddenly shook his wrist with his backhand, and the basketball in his hand drew a white light in a straight line from the gap and flew straight towards Li Jing. And so the pass was done. Since it was not a floor ball, the path of the basketball flight was almost in the blind spot of Westbrook's vision, so Westbrook did not notice when the basketball in Dawn's hand had been passed out.

At this point, the stadium that reacted resounded with a storm of applause and cheers.

Being able to foresee the emergence of that gap reflects the dawn's clever dynamic observation. The side-shaking wrist pass shows Dawn's extremely clever passing skills as a point guard.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for the basketball to fly out at such a high speed with the same wrist shake movement, and even with the same wrist strength, it is absolutely difficult to deliver the ball to the target so accurately in high-speed transposition movements.

This is the strength of the NBA's No. 1 guard, the strength of the super guard recognized by many NBA celebrities.

Unbelievable and subtle, these are the words that the media use most often when describing Dawn's pass.

Twelve points, the gap between the two teams is back to twelve.

The Thunder players looked at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes. This is not because of the gap in scores, but because of the terrifying strength that Dawn has shown. One Dawn Chen is so powerful, and the other two will not be too different. Westbrook's indestructible confidence was now beginning to waver.

"Fight back!" Ibaka was the first to turn and run to the other side. The four people behind him looked at each other as if they were resolute on each other's faces, and after the bottom line kicked off, the four of them took the ball and resolutely attacked the opposite side.

They are all hot-blooded men, who will not give up the game and admit defeat because they are afraid.

Under the basket, Ibaka forced a position, and the outside players actively blocked and covered to create opportunities for Westbrook. After two back-to-back pick-and-roll screens, Westbrook managed to get the ball into the hands of Ibaka under the basket. Ibaka received the ball and turned around to shoot with one hand, the ball went in, and he scored.

The score difference is back to 10 points.

The psychology of young players is so difficult to fathom, and the morale is depressed after the previous blow. When Dawn overwhelmed the crowd with her absolutely subtle passes, they ignited the will to resist.

After the goal, the Thunder players quickly returned to defense.

On the court, Li Jing and Mozgov exchanged glances and said in surprise: "What's the matter with these people." ”

Mozgov spread his hands and said, "I didn't do anything, that ball was the work of the two of you." ”

"It's not me, it must be Dawn." Li Jing shirked his responsibility and looked back at Liming Dao behind him. "Come on, today's dawn is very unusual. I don't want to smash his basketball again. After saying that, he quickly quickened his pace and passed.

Mozgov looked back, and also quickened his pace and quickly entered the opposite position.

Dawn controlled the ball and stopped outside the three-point line, his face was like water, but his eyes were uncontrollably shining. Eyes swept across the pitch to see the positions of the players on both sides. Westbrook cautiously stepped forward to intercept, with a shooting guard next to him. The two of them maintained the posture of the bag, but they didn't dare to really step forward to the bag.

This time Dawn did not make any "moves". The ball was simply handed to Clarkson, who drove the ball along the three-point line, drawing Westbrook to follow inside. Position on the sideline, Clarkson's emergency stop changes direction and accelerates to cut into the inside line. Westbrook followed him like a shadow, but he didn't guard against Li Jing's blocking and dismantling cover, and after Clarkson got rid of Westbrook, he made a jumper outside the penalty area and succeeded.

In addition, the Lakers also have other good scorers. Clarkson's actions on the Thunder players did not pay attention to the burden, and added a heavy weight psychologically.

The gap is still 12 points.

……

The next five minutes of play continued that tone. The Lakers combine inside and outside to blossom on all sides. Under the control of Liming, a calm and wise helmsman, the Lakers' score continued to climb.

And the Thunder players who are working hard are working together as a whole. I can also find opportunities to shoot repeatedly. Several of the scorers had a pretty good hand and maintained a fairly high success rate. The difference in scores will not be too much for a while.

The last half minute of the second quarter. Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end like this, the situation changed abruptly.

"Whoosh!" (To be continued.) )
