Westbrook has been maturing more and more in the past two seasons.

As a point guard.

The big picture is not enough.

Prone to hot-headedness.

It has always been his fatal problem.

Especially when it comes to the critical moment.

There will be some unbelievable operations.

It explodes when it's powerful and makes the fans cheer.

It's a headache when it's brain-burning.

The fans were eager to smash the TV.

In this playoffs, Wei Shao's performance is obviously much more stable and mature.

Especially in the last round against Spurs.

In the most critical battle of Mt. Tenno, his play was decisive.

In this round of the series, the Lakers' biggest headache is also Wei Shao.

Whether it's Tony Allen or Kobe.

It's hard to limit Westbrook.

In the first two games, Westbrook easily won 30+10 data.

Before the third game, Scott set up for half a day.

In the end, I didn't come up with a way to limit Wei Shao on the defensive end.

In the end, I had to resign myself to fate.

Anyway, when the Lakers guard was the old fish Fisher.

No one can prevent it, and in the end, it is still up to the whole to win the championship.

But today Wang Shuang was on the field.

More than one quarter was played.

But he had already thought of a way to limit Westbrook.

It is said that the castle was breached from the inside.

Since the Lakers themselves don't have anyone in the team who limits Wei Shao.

So why not find one on the Thunder side?

I think that back then, it was said that only Wei Shao could prevent Durant.

Now on the other hand, why can't Durant guard against Westbrook?

Durant had a two-minute break off the court in the second quarter.

Thunder fought to catch up under the leadership of Wei Shao.

Two three-pointers in a row.

After the pause comes back.

Westbrook made another steal.

A dragon kills the basket and directly dunks it!

The Thunder hit the Lakers with a small 8:0 climax.

Chased the difference to only 2 points in one fell swoop.

"Westbrook was more consistent than Durant tonight, he was so calm on the court, like a true leader."

Kenny Smith had this to say about Westbrook.

If heard by Durant.

I guess my heart is going to make waves again.

At this time, the Lakers' offense still depends on Kobe.

In the case that the team's tactics can't be played.

Kobe Bryant makes a strong shot near the free throw line!

Face a defense that covers your face.

Kobe Bryant still hits from mid-range!

The margin returned to 4 points.

Kobe's ability to solve at critical moments is still there.

This year's playoffs are not the time to be strong.

The Lakers have two weapons.

Kobe Bryant's singles, and Wang Shuang's frontcourt rebounds.

These two weapons sometimes work well together.

Kobe Bryant is the best to eat in singles.

Can't get into the double to grab the frontcourt rebound under the basket.

It's a very good combination.

Wang Shuang was sitting on the bench drinking water at the moment.

It was one of the few breaks he had in a match.

He should cherish it and replenish his water.

The rest of the games will definitely be tougher.

Westbrook shoots from the outside and hits again!

Tonight Wei Shao is like God's help.

And Kobe Bryant was not to be outdone.

The outside line continuously changes direction to dribble.

Use nimble footwork to shake off defenses.

A pull-up jump shot at the 45-degree sweet spot on the right side.

Also enter!

Wei Shao and Kobe Bryant are on the bar.

If you change to the previous Wei Shao.

It may be just one way to the dark.

Bar until you can't throw.

But that's not the case with Wei Shao now.

He uses his defensive appeal.

After breaking through the basket, the ball was distributed to Ibaka, who was following him.

Serge Ibaka catches the ball and cuts to the basket for an easy layup.

In comparison, Kobe seems to be a little more iron-headed.

It's still a single in the waist position, and his back is strong against Westbrook.

Rollover jumper!

The ball is noticeably shorter.

But under the basket, Nance Jr. grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt.

The layup is off by Ibaka's hat!

Ibaka already had four blocks in the first half.

But the ball is still in the hands of the Lakers.

The ball is passed.

At this point, Scott called a short timeout.

Because Wang Shuang is going to appear at this time.

Wang Shuang is no longer on it.

The Lakers' offense has largely stalled.

Bryant's body is not enough to support him to continue to play with such high intensity and power.

After a short 20-second timeout, Wang Shuang knew his break was over.

Take off your sports jacket and put it on for action.

Scott emphasized the protection of rebounds.

At the same time, the players are asked to play resolutely inside.

"More attacking inside, we shouldn't be afraid of the Thunder's interior defense. The inner line, the outer line, we all need to open it up, let them take care of one or the other. ”

Scott also reminded Wang Shuang: "Don't give up the rush of rebounds in the front court, at this time we need the ball and need to kill the opponent." ”

Wang Shuang nodded.

Silently replaced the [God's left hand].

Re-equip the Bracers of the Singles King.

Scott was right.

It's also unrealistic to beat the Thunder by three points alone.

It's about the inside line, three points, combined.

Use three points to pry through the Thunder's dense defense first.

Follow up to challenge Ibaka on the inside.

Inflict lelicitly.

So the Thunder had to move more defensive resources to the interior.

After that, the Lakers will have more opportunities from the outside.

It's a virtuous circle.

Of course, it's not easy to do.

Wang shouldered the heavy responsibility of changing the opponent's defensive strategy.

If a player can do it at that level.

It means that he is no longer an ordinary star.

It's superstar players.

It's also the watershed that separates an average star from a superstar.

It is also an average of 20+10 data per game.

Griffin, like the Clippers, is a star.

And the likes of Tim Duncan are superstars.

Because Griffin is attacking, the opponent is one-on-one.

There is no way for his singles to kill his opponents.

Players like Pinnacle Duncan are different.

He held the ball in the low post, and the opponent has been defending alone and not making strategic adjustments.

He can beat his opponent to death.

So the opponent will definitely adjust the defensive strategy.

And then it will move the whole body.

Destroy the opponent's entire defensive system.

Kobe Bryant is also such a player.

In order to encircle and intercept Kobe.

Defenders often have a whole set of defensive strategies around him.

You don't guard against it, and you bring out Kobe's feel.

More than 40 points in a game can easily take you away.

It's a pity that Kobe Bryant now doesn't have such a deterrent.

The Thunder's defense against him is one-on-one.

You have what it takes to kill me.

The heavy responsibility of stirring up the opponent's defense came to Wang's shoulders.

Wang Shuang appeared, and Donovan also replaced Durant.

As soon as Durant came up, Wang Shuang's heart felt stable.

The game continued.

Sideline serve.

Wang double-balled Kobe.

Immediately after serving, he came out to block Kobe Bryant.

With Wang Shuang doing the block and dismantling, Kobe Bryant feels much better.

The left side went straight to the basket, and Wang Shuangshun went down.

The Thunder still chose to go with Kobe.

Bryant didn't pass the ball, and the risk was too high to be easily stealed.

Directly chose the left-handed board toss!

The difficulty is a bit high.

The point of playing the board is not accurate.

The ball bounces off the front of the basket and misses.

But Wang Shuang, who followed up, grabbed the rebound in the front court.

Facing Ibaka's defense.

Wang Shuang did not flinch and dodged the fight.

Instead, take the initiative to catch up.

Layups!

Ibaka and Wang Shuang collided violently in the air.

The referee blew the whistle and blew for a foul on Ibaka.

Ibaka is extremely strong.

He has the muscles of a bodybuilder.

And it's a very amazing bounce.

And the superior cap sense of smell.

But Wang Shuang is not inferior to Ibaka in terms of physical strength.

He dared to confront and caused killing.

Get to the free throw line.

Wang Shuang hit both free throws.

The difference is again 4 points.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook didn't stop his performance.

Dribble at the top of the arc from the outside.

In the face of defense, just pull it up and throw it!

Three-pointer, hit again!

Westbrook has a succession of assists, scoring.

The difference has narrowed to just 1 point!

"Westbrook! Three-point shot, pretty, unreasonable three-pointer. It's so beautiful, there are no tactics, it's just to fight by yourself, you can throw it. ”

Barkley couldn't help but admire when he saw Wei Shao's strong shot.

When Barkley played by himself, he liked to throw hard three-pointers in the later stages.

The hit rate was a miserable one, more than 20 percent.

He only has a three-point shooting percentage like Wei Shao.

The Rockets weren't going to beat the Jazz at the beginning.

After the goal, Wei Shao stood there and paused.

The whole Stamp became very quiet.

He enjoys the feeling of this away effector.

However, Wang Shuang immediately returned the color.

It's still a high-level pick-and-roll.

&-->>

nbsp; Return the ball to Wang Shuanghou.

Wang double-points the ball to Lu Wei.

Then block and dismantle Lu Wei, and Wang Shuangshun will go down.

A left-handed low layup after receiving the ball!

This is Wang Shuang's usual scoring method.

Block the defender with the right hand, and pick the basket with the low hand with the left hand.

Evaded Ibaka's blockade.

Two points in hand.

Wang Shuang had some movement in his hands when he went to the basket.

Ibaka was a little upset.

Originally, Ibaka's Lakers players on the inside defense were difficult to get into the three-second zone.

Wang Shuang's successive goals made Ibaka a little impetuous.

Then on offense, Ibaka was whistled for a covering foul.

It's Wang Shuang again.

Acting school.

Knock it down at the first touch.

Ibaka has already committed three fouls.

Donovan had to replace him.

No more Ibaka.

Wang Shuang is even more unscrupulous under the basket.

Kobe Bryant still misses a mid-range jumper from the outside.

But Wang Shuang swept the frontcourt rebound again.

Against Adams, Wang chose a 45-degree mid-range shot to the left.

Hit!

This Duncan's average 45-degree board.

Adams cowered inside and didn't come out at all.

The Thunder's offensive rhythm has been interrupted.

Westbrook still has the feel and energy at this time.

But the Thunder's offensive focus shifted to Durant.

He couldn't stand it anymore, and Wei Shao continued to "do whatever he wanted".

He's going to have to stand up and vote for one!

As a result, the catch was trapped.

Pass it out and continue to catch the ball around the screen.

Hit a three-second pullup jumper!

The defender didn't keep up.

But Durant himself relented.

Mid-range jumper missed.

Bryant took the rebound and fought back directly.

Flying fast, the ball was given to Wang Shuang.

Wang Shuang then distributed the ball to Tony Allen, who was in the bottom corner.

Aaron's big vacancy.

Aiming for a moment, a three-point shot.

Hit!

Bottom corner 3-pointers from Tony Allen.

This three-point shot is crucial.

The Lakers reopened the gap with the Thunder.

At this point, Westbrook wanted to step up.

Caught by Kobe Bryant and Tony Allen.

The ball goes to N'Golo Kante on the substitute Ibaka.

Again received the ball in a very far away position.

Kante doesn't have the ability to attack the basket directly at this position.

After receiving the ball, he can only dribble and go inside.

He's not Ibaka, he has a reliable mid-range shot.

As a result, he was intercepted by Wang Shuang.

Almost broke the ball.

N'Golo Kante fell to the ground and tried desperately to protect the ball.

Re-pass the ball to Durant.

Durant holds the ball and rushes again!

The Lakers shrink defensively.

There are few opportunities for vacant seats at 45 degrees.

But Durant didn't pass it on.

Instead, he dribbled and killed himself.

Difficult archery on horseback.

Medium distance or miss.

Wei Shao finally became a little anxious.

Roared: "I'm empty! I'm empty! ”

Of course he was in a hurry, and he hadn't made a shot for two rounds.

Good feel and offensive feel are wasted.

The Lakers took the backcourt rebound.

Take advantage of the Thunder's unstable defensive foothold.

Kobe Bryant cut into the basket and gave the ball to Wang Shuang, who went down.

Wang Shuang caught the ball with both hands!

Staples is jubilant!

At 45:35, the difference was reopened to 10 points!

The Thunder asked for a timeout.

As he got off the court, Westbrook shook his head at Durant.

Instead of getting angry, he communicated with Durant.

"Just now you should have passed the ball and I had a chance. Play calm, buddy. ”

Wei Shao is reminding Durant.

But Durant only nodded slightly.

Didn't say good, didn't say bad.

Ignoring Westbrook's existence anyway.

This made Wei Shao feel a little unhappy.

But it's not been a day since the two of them were teammates.

They grew up together with the Thunder.

There is a deep feeling.

So he didn't pay much attention.

Instead, go back to the bench and rest first.

Adjust the status.

There were about 5 minutes left until the end of the second quarter.

"The difference between the two sides is back to 10 points. The Thunder's offensive performance today was very abnormal, and Durant was very inefficient so far. If Durant can't get back to normal tonight, I think the Thunder will be a little dangerous in Los Angeles. ”

Kenny Smith sees signs that Durant is not right.

"yes, and I feel like Durant seems to have some psychological ambivalence? He seems to be competing, competing with Wang Shuang. Of course, I have a rule of thumb that is to play in the league and not fight against certain people. You play well, you do yourself, and when you do your best, the game tends to go the way you think. ”

Barkley rarely spoke seriously about his own experience.

Kenny Smith asked, "Don't fight anyone?" Who are you talking about? ”

Barkley said: "There are two kinds of people, one is the lower three, like Bill Lambir, you fight him and you fall into a trap, he pulls him down to the same position, and then rolls in the mud, it's really not necessary. ”

Barkley was also a reckless man.

It's not uncommon to quarrel and fight with basketball villains like Ranbir.

"There is another kind of people, that is, Jordan and Bird, who provoke them and fight with them, and the result is likely to be a miserable death. Just play your ball well, don't mess up yourself. ”

On the court, anger Jordan, Bird, or top superstars like James or Kobe.

Let them exert their 120 percent power.

As a result, there will always be a slap in the face.

Kenny Smith asked again, "Then what type do you think Wang Shuang is?" Is he like Bird, Jordan, or Ranbill? ”

Barkley said: "I think he's a combination of both, really. Judging by some of his playstyles, he's an undrafted player, he started as a role player, and he's got a lot of cleverness. There are some things that players like Kobe Bryant and Jordan will never do in their lifetime. But at the same time, his abilities, honestly Kenny, don't laugh, I think he's very much like me...... Really, don't laugh! ”

Kenny Smith couldn't laugh anymore.

The fat man put gold on his face again.

Wang Shuang is fierce in addition to rebounding in the front court.

Where's the dead fat like you?

Barkley added: "Temperament, I think it's his temperament on the pitch, that I feel like I have. ”

Fortunately, Wang Shuang couldn't hear Barkley's commentary on the field.

Otherwise, if you hear it, your mentality will definitely be affected.

My template is Larry Bird.

The greatest white basketball player.

Will you be like you, a bald fat man who has no crown all your life?

Pause back.

The Thunder's offensive focus is back on Westbrook.

One-on-one, take advantage of the speed to eat Tony Allen.

Take the middle lane, make a quick stop and jump back.

Two-point hit.

Westbrook was extremely resolute in his shot tonight.

The hit rate is also very impressive.

It's a stark contrast to Durant.

On the Lakers' side, Hibbert reappeared.

Holding the ball in the low post and not having the ability to play Adams alone.

gave Kobe Bryant an inside pass, no chance.

Pocket out and go to the other side.

And then to Hibbert.

This time he turned around and punched Adams.

As a result, he missed a layup.

But Wang Shuang cut in from the rear.

Leap high and press Durant.

Make a basket!

"Why are you staying on the field? If you can't shoot a basketball, you can't grab a rebound, what's the use of you? What's the point? ”

Wang Shuang squirted at Durant.

Durant felt a little numb.

He then finally hit a mid-range jumper.

Scored two points.

If you don't go in again, Durant's tears will fall.

was mentally ravaged by Wang Shuangyitong.

Durant went from being angry to now slowly becoming a little numb.

But this numbness is not disregarded.

If only he could ignore Wang Shuang's taunts.

It shows that he is really mature in mentality.

He only kept the anger hidden for the time being.

I don't know when it will erupt.

As for the time of the outbreak.

Whether it's a team player or a teammate is hurt.

Only he knows.

The final stage of the first half of the game.

The two sides fought tepidly.

The Lakers always maintained a lead of around eight points.

Because Ibaka committed three fouls on the scene.

There is no thunder of the inside line to help defend the barrier.

It's hard to strangle the Lakers on the defensive end.

On the offensive end.

Westbrook was in unbeatable form today.

He scored 22 points in the first half.

The Thunder scored just 51 points as a team.

He also provided seven assists.

It can be said that most of the Thunder's scoring in the first half was related to Westbrook.

And Durant only scored nine points in the first half.

didn't break 10, and it took up a lot of shots.

On the defensive end, he was rebounded by Wang Shuang's various heads.

Wang Shuang hit four three-pointers in the half.

He scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

Five of them were frontcourt rebounds.

Fans saw it again in the first round against the Warriors.

The Wang Shuang, who can do everything on both the offensive and defensive ends.

The rebounding monster who greedily grabs the ball under the basket.

But the Lakers only led the Thunder by seven points at 58:51.

The big win at home that the fans expected is estimated to be difficult to achieve.

Wanting to win in the second half, the Lakers' challenge is not over.
