Chapter 192: The Opposite is True

The first quarter of the game ended.

The score was fixed at 28:22.

The Lakers weren't able to widen the margin further.

The Thunder are still very hard when they are strong.

Donovan is not wrong in emphasizing.

Offense can be inaccurate due to poor feel.

Defense is different, and defense doesn't deceive you.

In the case of Durant's poor form.

The Thunder withstood the Lakers' attack with a tough defense.

The game did not turn into a one-sided slaughter because of this.

In the second quarter of the game, the Thunder began to fight back.

The TV station broadcasts the match between the two sides.

While playing a picture-in-picture interview with Craig Sager with Donovan.

Tonight Craig Saag is wearing a white-on-white patterned suit.

His brightly colored suit is always a bright sight on the sidelines.

"What really keeps us moving forward in the playoffs is defense, defense, and defense. The Lakers were ferocious in the first quarter, shooting better three-pointers than they had in the previous two games. We had some problems in attack, but our defence didn't collapse. I think in the second section, our situation will get better......"

At this time, the situation on the field is also as Donovan said.

The Thunder's offense still hasn't found a good way to open.

Westbrook holds the ball and sits into the basket with a change of direction.

As a result, he missed the layup under the interference of Wang Shuang.

The Lakers, who got the ball, launched a counterattack.

Lowe passes the ball to Jeff Green, who is fast down.

As a result, the Thunder returned to defense extremely quickly.

The three men protected the basket from the water under the basket.

In the end, Green's layup missed.

When fighting for the rebound in the frontcourt, the ball flew off the baseline.

Thunder ball possession.

The Thunder's defense is tough and clean.

Strong individual defensive ability.

Good defensive discipline.

The physical fitness is even better.

But the Lakers' defense tonight was just as good.

Durant plays offense with the ball in the high post.

I don't know if it's affected by Wang's saliva.

Durant's offense was a little hesitant.

N'Golo Kante came to block it.

He didn't attack the basket himself.

Chose to hit the ground to N'Golo Kante.

But Kante caught the ball too far from the basket.

This is not his point of attack at all.

Dribbling the ball in, it doesn't seem to be stable.

hesitated for a moment, wanting to pass it to Wei Shao in the bottom corner.

But the 0.1-second hesitation was enough time for the Lakers players to react.

Kobe Bryant intercepted the ball directly.

Break the ball and fight back again!

The Thunder retreated extremely quickly.

But Bryant didn't slow down and play the position.

It's a risky through ball to the basket.

Randolph catches the ball and hits a two-point shot.

It also caused a foul on Kante!

It's an offensive strategy that hasn't been used against the Warriors.

Fighting a warrior and a quick counterattack has no future.

You bring the pace up, and the warriors can be faster than you.

And against the Warriors, the Lakers' positional offense is more certain.

The first two games against the Thunder have been proven.

Grinding positional warfare can't grind thunder.

Their arms are too long.

It's hard to play after the defense falls into position.

So speed up appropriately.

Kobe Bryant is not a fast-break counterattack master like Nash and Kidd.

But as a guard who plays offensive tactics with the Lakers all year round.

His passing ability and sense of smell are still great.

Randolph goes to the free throw line and hits the free throw.

For the Lakers, the Thunder in the face must seize every opportunity to score easily.

At 31:22, the margin widened to 9 points.

At this point, Westbrook was out of the break.

The Thunder were replaced by Foye.

Durant is in full control.

Favorite offensive position on the left side.

After the pick-and-roll, open up a step of space.

Direct three-point shot!

Hit!

Durant hit the first three-pointer of the game.

After the goal, Durant pointed to Wang Shuang.

"This is just the beginning, just the beginning!"

Of course, Wang Shuangzui would not let him go.

"Yes, your boss has gone down to rest, it's finally your turn to lead the team, come on Kevin!"

Durant was furious.

But there is no way, and I can't sew the mouth of this thing.

The Lakers are also a pick-and-roll tactic at the top of the high arc.

Kobe Bryant and Wang are two people turning.

As if pulling, Bryant smashed into the basket from the right side.

was caught and the ball was given to Lu Wei in the bottom corner.

Lowe picked up Foye and hit a 45-degree mid-range shot.

Coming back, Durant changed direction and broke through.

Stops attract defenses, fake shots and real passes.

Give to the bottom corner of the Feye.

Foye also clicked on Lowe.

Then he took a step inside and hit a mid-range jumper.

The two sides began a decent positional offensive in battle.

It seems that Durant's organization is still in shape.

After Foye throws in the middle distance.

Randolph also fouled N'Golo Kante.

Add a free throw, hit.

It's the equivalent of hitting three points.

The Thunder continued to clench the score.

The two sides began to enter the main rotation time.

Kobe Bryant and Randolph are several veterans who are resting.

Of course, Wang Shuang continued to stay on the court.

He was young and unusually full of energy.

If Durant doesn't go down, he can't go down.

On offense, Durant stared at Wang Shuang.

And Wang Shuang, who has Bird's trash talk ability.

is also constantly pouring mental garbage on Durant.

"Are you a defensive engineer now? You're a good role player. โ€

"Why don't you come to the Lakers next season, I'll take you to the championship."

"Come to the Lakers, and I'll be able to give you a taste of my footwashingโ€”>>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] ใ€‘

The smell of water too. โ€

As he was talking, Lu Wei missed a mid-range jumper.

Wang Shuangyi shook Durant away.

Jumped high and grabbed the rebound.

Distributing the ball to the outside, Lu Wei reorganized the offense.

After grabbing the rebound, Wang Shuang continued to turn on the troll mode.

"I'm talking to you and can do anything on your head."

"Shoot threes, grab rebounds, steal, make fouls."

"This rebound is still mine!"

Clarkson's jumper from the outside missed.

Wang Shuang pressed Durant again.

Find the right place to land.

Pick up the ball in your arms.

Inside Adams is not there.

N'Golo Kante's backcourt rebounding protection has always been a weakness.

Wang Shuang divided the ball again and reorganized the attack.

Because Wang Shuang is equipped with [God's Left Hand].

Instead of [Bracers of the Singles King].

So he doesn't have much confidence in the inside line.

The Thunder's basket is not so easy to rush.

Ibaka, the master of the cap, was staring inside.

The ball came out again, and Wang Shuang went to the high post to block and dismantle Lu Wei.

Lu Wei understood this time.

After a single block, he hit the basket and distributed the ball to Tony Allen on the wing.

Tony Allen rushes in, and then goes out.

The ball went to 45 degrees in the king's hands.

Two bursts, pulling the space apart.

Wang Shuang catches the ball, and there is a small gap in front of him.

Don't hesitate, shoot three points immediately!

It's still not fast, but it's unusually steady.

Durant pounced to make up for the defense, and it felt like he could cover it.

It didn't cover it, and the ball arced high.

"Brush!"

Wang Shuang's three points are hit again!

On the Thunder's side, No. 2 Anthony Morrow hit a mid-range jumper.

He was in the case of a dead ball that was defended.

Step-back jumper hits a difficult shot.

The Thunder's offense is mainly based on the individual ability of the players.

Lu Wei once again cooperated with Wang in the high position.

Hit the left side under the basket and go outside.

Facing Ibaka's pressing defence.

Choose a step-back jumper with a zero degree angle.

Ibaka's blocking is indeed a strong deterrent.

The ball was almost lying down.

Throw the ball out so it doesn't get blocked.

The ball hits the basket and doesn't go in.

Durant is under the basket and ready to grab a backcourt rebound.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuang came out from behind.

Grab the rebound in the front court and make a basket directly!

At the same time, it also caused Durant's defensive foul!

Penalties are to be imposed!

Durant jumped straight to his feet in a hurry.

"Why did I get fouled? I didn't touch him, no! โ€

"You pushed him, you pushed him from behind."

"I just pushed, but I didn't push hard. I swear, I just touched her jersey! โ€

"This is the stadium, not the church, Kevin. Besides, why are you doing the action of pushing him? โ€

yes, why do you do it if you don't push him?

The referee's words left Durant speechless.

Donovan watched Durant's performance on the court.

Shaking his head, he looked at his watch again, and it wasn't time for him to take a break.

Wang Shuang stood on the free throw line and hit the free throw.

At a time when Thunder players thought he wasn't fighting for frontcourt rebounds anymore.

Wang Shuang's frontcourt rebounds caused damage to the opponent again.

Coming back, Durant is really in a hurry.

When you pick up the ball, you have to go head-to-head with Wang Shuang.

As a result, the breakthrough slipped.

Tony Allen completed the steal.

The ball was given to Wang Shuang, and Wang Shuang passed it to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei directly holds the ball and kills the basket!

Covered by a pegboard hat from Ibaka, who was following behind!

Ibaka has already given away three blocks tonight.

He guarded the basket and caused a lot of problems for the Lakers' offense.

As a result, the Lakers were not able to continue to open the score.

Durant became more and more impatient the more he played on the court.

In defense, his shoes actually fell off?

Seeing this, Wang Shuang killed the basket directly!

Basket two to one, high toss to Nance Jr.

Little Nance jumped high and clasped his hands violently!

The Lakers played a wave of offensive highs.

When Wang Shuang returned to defense, he deliberately kicked Durant's shoes away.

Durant was furious and came up and grabbed Wang Shuang's collar.

The two were on the verge of a violent clashes.

Players from both sides and the referee immediately came to stop them.

Pull the two apart.

"Oh, there's some confusion on the sidelines. Let's see...... Watch what's going on in slow motion? When Wang Shuang broke through, he seemed to have stepped on Kevin Durant's shoes, and the shoes fell off. Then when he returned to defense, Wang Shuang actually kicked his shoes and kicked them away! Hahaha, Durant is still looking for his shoes! โ€

Wang Shuang's one-pass operation really broke Durant's mentality.

The referee then gave each side a technical foul.

Durant came off the court, still gloomy.

And Wang Shuang also went to rest, but won the applause of the audience.

So far, Wang Shuang has governed Durant well.

However, the game is less than halfway through.

The Lakers want to avoid being swept tonight.

There are still many difficulties to face.

For example, how to solve this point in Westbrook?

Durant was rested, and Wei Shao reappeared.

As soon as he came back, Wei Shao immediately assisted Morrow to hit a three-point shot from the outside!

Anthony Morrow had a good shot tonight.

Kobe Bryant's outside jumper missed.

The Thunder counterattacked, and Westbrook directly pulled out a three-point shot!

Again!

Two three-pointers in a row directly suspended the Lakers.

Wei Shao was cool-headed tonight and didn't burn the CPU.

In the past, it was said that Wei Shao burned his brain and prevented Durant from death.

But looking at tonight's game, it could be the opposite.
