On the morning of May 26th, the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, the Western Conference Finals G4 is about to start, but because it is Thursday, most fans have to choose to watch the game in Sina Sports.

Perhaps it is the butterfly effect brought by Li Ze, Sina Sports has also put a lot of thought into the broadcast of the NBA, and the most obvious improvement is that everyone rarely has a jam when watching the game.

Of course, if you are campus broadband, you still have to continue to endure 5 minutes of a small card, 10 minutes of a certain level of broadcast screen...

Most fans are looking forward to Li Ze successfully reaching the finals, but there are also many Comi who have been looking forward to the Thunder team losing, Kobe Bryant has accumulated a lot of popularity in the past few years, and Li Ze is really not an opponent for the time being.

Ahem, 6 billion Komi is no joke.

And unlike Amika's situation, where the hot spot in the East-West finals was "Where did LeBron James go?" "It's a lot of diversion, and except for a few Jammy on the Celestial Empire's side, there aren't many people who pay attention to James' offseason news.

In the hearts of most fans these years, the superstars are one person and one city, and the Big Three only became popular in 08, and most fans don't think that LeBron James will really leave Cleveland, after all, he just won the MVP this season.

Although LeBron James did not play well in the playoffs due to injuries, Nowitzki's regular season MVP was also blackened by the Warriors, and he will be able to play back in the future.

And today's upcoming Western Conference Finals G4 has attracted the attention of all fans.

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the fans, all the other teams combined can also fight a draw with the Comys, and even many of the deformation secrets have begun to hack Li Zelai, which has completely aroused the anger of all the fans.

The final result is that the comment area below the news report on the special page is all closed, and the operation staff of Sina Sports are completely dumbfounded, they have never seen this situation, for a foreign star, spray their compatriots, this...

Sina Sports also made a bloody investment for this game, and the guests alone invited two, Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping came to Sina's studio at the same time, plus the host Ke Xiaofan, this G4 that may determine life and death will be narrated by three people.

"Coach Zhang, we have talked a lot before the game, and finally you will give us a simple prediction, do you think the Lakers can win this game on the road and tie the score to 2:2?"

invited two guests, naturally one person to represent the Lakers and the other to represent the Thunder, obviously, Wei Ping Bryant is the representative of the Lakers, hearing Ke Xiaofan's question, he immediately smiled and said:

"Don't underestimate the resilience and experience of the championship, Kobe Bryant played poorly in the last game, but for a star like him, the next game is bound to rebound, and Phil Jackson should also thoroughly understand the Thunder's tactical play through three games."

"I think the Lakers will bounce back strongly from the outside, and like the Western Conference semifinals against the Suns, there will be a price to pay for defending the team, and there may be problems with the fitness of both sides in this game, and then it will depend on the resilience of the players, and the Thunder lack experience in this area."

After listening to Zhang Weiping's words, the host Ke Xiaofan immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time said to Yang Yi, the guest on the right:

"Mr. Yang, what is your point of view? Are you still optimistic that the Thunder will win the home court and rewrite the big score to 3:1, that's what you predicted in your previous article. ”

"Director Zhang is right, the Lakers are more experienced and staffed more reasonably, but why am I still optimistic about the Thunder, because teams that rely on talent sometimes don't need too much game experience, and talent is crushed!"

"The outside trio of the Thunder can be said to be the strongest outside combination in the NBA league at present, let's think about it, what was Kobe's performance in the last round against the Suns, and the result of this round of the series of three games, except for the home G2 played well, the rest of the performance was not good."

"If the Lakers really want to win, then they have to blossom inside and outside, but you want to play efficient performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which is too difficult for the Lakers' outside players, you can't prevent it, Li Ze is too powerful! I believe that as long as they play normally, the Thunder will still hold their home court. ”

Yang Yi naturally touted the Thunder team in order to eat Li Ze's traffic dividend, and recently he is planning to shape Li Ze into the Michael Jordan of the Celestial Empire, so in all live broadcast activities, he will stand for Li Ze.

After listening to Yang Yi's words, the host Ke Xiaofan nodded very much in agreement again, this is the effect of the program that the director team needs, the two of them said dryly that it was not interesting, and the fans still prefer to watch the tearing battle.

Noticing that the director team gave him a gesture with a smile, the host Ke Xiaofan immediately spoke:

"We've got the starting lineup ahead of us, the two teams are still in the regular rotation, and Kostic is said to be going through the NBA internal injury return process, if nothing else, G6 should be able to return!"

"Next, you can take a look at the views of Amerika's peers, and TNT and ESPN have also given their own predictions."

The Ford Center Arena was full again tonight, and with the extra seats, it still couldn't meet the demand of the fans in the Russian City, a phenomenon that has actually lasted for a season.

The team staff also told Li Ze that even the season tickets for next season have been sold out, and there is no market for ticket sellers here.

Li Ze still warmed up before the game half an hour in advance, and many Russian fans entered the court in advance, just to watch Li Ze's warm-up activities, especially when they saw Li Ze's fixed-point three-point shots hit continuously, many fans also coaxed:

"Kayce, a little further! Just like in the previous games, get a few long-range three-pointers! ”

"How about another crotch dunk? Kayce, will you be in the slam dunk contest next year? ”

"All of us are behind you, blow up the Black Mamba! Go for tonight! ”

When Li Ze heard the words of the fans, he immediately smiled and waved his hand, and then expanded his shooting range and began to shoot long-distance three-point shots.

The game is about to start, in the away team's locker room, Coach Phil Jackson has a serious expression, tonight's game really can't be lost again, he also let go of the so-called reserve, stood next to the tactical board prepared before the game, and seriously instructed his players:

"Defend! We've got to defend right tonight, and I don't want to see the Thunder play the same tactics multiple times in a row! Andrew! Change the guard quickly, once the opponent does the 5 position, you have to follow out, if you can't complete such a defensive task, you will be off immediately! ”

"We have to change the defense resolutely, the big man is no exception, don't skimp on fitness, just two days of rest, the opponent can't fully recover, we are the champion team, we must show our defensive resilience!"

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if we lose tonight, the opponent will get match point, and we have no way back! The outside line has to respond, I don't care what state you are in, but when you get on the court, when there is an opening, throw the ball at me immediately! ”

"We've got two good big men under the basket, we've got overwhelming rebounding advantage, what are you worried about? Are you afraid to take responsibility? I don't want to see such cowardly behavior anymore, shooting, grabbing rebounds, can I do it? ”

When everyone on the Lakers saw Coach Phil Jackson, who was getting more and more excited and looking a little hideous, they immediately felt a pang in their hearts, and then shouted loudly at the same time:

"Yay!!"

The atmosphere in the Ford Center arena has begun to rage at this time, the DJ at the scene shouted wildly, all the players of the home team played, and although the body of Durant did not return to the best condition, they felt the hot atmosphere of the scene, and the fatigue in the body gradually disappeared.

"It's definitely the best home stadium in the league! It's like going back to the NCAA game, and the fans in the city are fantastic! ”

Durant saw that many fans were holding up his huge avatar posters, constantly chanting his name, and immediately said excitedly to his teammates next to him.

'That's the cohesion that comes with winning, we really had a fantastic season and we have to win this game tonight.'

Turtle felt himself ignited again, and he wanted the game to start right now, just kick Fisher and punch Shannon Brown...

"Defend your rebounds, guys! Just like the coach said, the Lakers will definitely go all out on offense tonight, and the defense must echo each other. ”

Li Ze saw that his teammates were extremely excited, and immediately reminded him that tonight's game must not be played, success or failure is in one move, and if the battle of Tianwang Mountain is really going to be held, then the game situation will completely fall to the Lakers.

"Don't worry! Ibaka and I will do our best to protect the basket! ”

...

When the two teams finished their final warm-up, the referee signaled for both teams to come to the center of the field, and the players on both sides gave a brief greeting, and then everyone stood in their own half of the court with serious expressions, watching the jump balls of Ibaka and Bynum.

"Smack!"

Bynum managed to jump to the offensive possession for the Lakers, and the crowd at Ford Center noticed Fisher dribbling over half court and immediately began cheering for the home team's defense:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Noting that the Thunder still insisted on 23 joint defense, Gasol immediately came to the free throw line and responded in the center, Fisher noticed that Li Ze defended Kobe Bryant tightly, and did not have a good passing opportunity, and immediately gave the ball to Gasol.

The latter received the ball against Jeff Green's defense, and after a quick three-threat, he made an easy jumper from mid-range from the free-throw line.

"Whew...", a two-point goal was scored.

"In the opening game, we can clearly feel that the Lakers have accelerated their offensive tempo, Coach Phil Jackson must have made a lot of changes, the Thunder serve quickly, and we can also wait to see if the Thunder's offense can respond."

Coach Zhang blew on Phil Jackson's coaching ability again.

The Thunder attacked for the first time, and the crowd at Ford Center got up to watch the game and began to shout for the home team:

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

Turtle Turtle dribbled across the halfcourt, saw the Lakers' 32 joint defense position, and quickly made a high block with Ibaka, Bynum directly switched out, Turtle held the ball and circled the inside, and then immediately passed the ball to Durant outside the three-point line.

Durant wanted to get rid of Artest's defensive entanglement with Jeff Green's blocking, but Artest no longer thought about any fouls in this game, and directly squeezed through strongly, constantly interfering with Durant on his side.

Gasol's assistant defense also quickly followed, and the two seemed to want to give Durant a double shot, and seeing that the situation was not good, Durant once again gave the ball to Jeff Green near the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, while Li Ze quickly moved to the line from the bottom corner.

When Li Ze came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line to receive a pass, Kobe's defense quickly followed, and Ibaka came to the top of the arc again to block Li Ze.

At this time, the Lakers' defense rotated again, Li Ze broke through with the ball in his left hand, noticed the opponent's cover change strategy, and then saw Bynum in front of him, and his left hand suddenly pulled back during the march, and then suddenly accelerated, suddenly changed the rhythm, and the left hand picked up the basket very quickly.

"Huh....", a layup under the basket is won.

"What a ball! This is Li Ze's ability to control the ball with no difference between his left and right hands, and the defender can't defend it at all, it seems that in this game, Li Ze is in good shape! ”

When Yang Yi saw Li Ze scoring a goal, he didn't go through the procedure and started blowing directly.

Li Ze, who has retreated, has noticed a major change in the Lakers' defensive strategy, and Coach Phil Jackson no longer seems to be superstitious about Kobe Bryant and Artest's single defense ability.

After the Lakers kicked the baseline ball, Kobe Bryant dribbled directly with the ball across the half court, noticed Li Ze who was defending him in front of him, quickly gave the ball to Fisher, and then scored continuously to play, after a simple high-low cooperation, Bynum carried Ibaka in the low post and scored 2 points under the basket.

"Oh!!"

"Shhh

When everyone saw that Ibaka was knocked out of the bottom line by Bynum, they immediately exclaimed, and then immediately sent a huge boo for the Lakers' goal.

In the next few minutes, Li Ze found that Kobe Bryant in this game was no longer obsessed with his crazy matchup, and when defending the block, Gasol and Bynum chased one and the other contracted, and while defending Li Ze, they let go of Jeff Green and Ibaka.

In the face of such a defensive style, Li Ze naturally quickly played the ball and found Jeff Green, who was open in the bottom corner, who received the ball and made a jump shot from outside the three-point line.

"Huh..."The three-pointer hit steadily.

It is not difficult for Li Ze to crack such a defense, but Durant is a little embarrassed in the face of the Lakers' bag, his ability to dominate the ball is still weak, and the pass to his teammates is not comfortable, and many times he cannot form a shot at the first time.

Fortunately, after the opening, the Thunder team was full of physical energy and had a good shooting rate, and although the Lakers' interior offense was fierce, they could not get the lead, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately.

When the official timeout in the first quarter was 14:16, the Thunder only led by two points, the Lakers played unusually reasonable, frantically attacking the inside, and Kobe Bryant only shot once, most of the time giving the ball to Gasol.

Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, felt that the Lakers were definitely doing something, and Kobe Bryant made huge concessions on both offensive and defensive ends, which is rare...

After the timeout, the Lakers continued their high-low post combination, this time it was Gasol's turn to receive the ball in the low post, noticing the Thunder's defense quickly shrinking, Gasol immediately passed the ball to Artest outside the three-point line, who received the ball and quickly jumped.

"Huh...", the empty three-point shot is solid.

"This is the advantage of the Lakers' twin towers as I said before, as long as the outside can hit the shot, the Thunder's joint defense will be completely dismantled, the Western Conference semifinals G6, Artest is a three-pointer in a row, and finally the Lakers beat the Suns."

As soon as Director Zhang saw the Lakers play a wonderful match, Weiping Bryant quickly went online.

Seeing the Lakers hit a three-pointer, Turtle Turtle immediately played an offensive gesture to his teammates after half court, and played a cross-cut tactic of double cover for Li Ze, and when Li Ze received the ball 45 degrees outside the three-point line, Bynum followed up directly.

Noticing that the opponent strictly guarded his left hand, Li Ze put the ball with his right hand, dribbled back with a cross step, mobilized the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and the left hand changed backwards with a very fast crotch, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.

"Huh...", he stepped back and scored three points.

"Oh!!"

Seeing Li Ze playing small and big, he quickly responded with a three-point shot, and the audience immediately cheered for this goal.

Coach Phil Jackson gestured to his players on the sidelines at this time, signaling to continue this kind of defense.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two sides continued to alternate leads, and Coach Brooks replaced Li Ze and Durant with 58 seconds left in the first quarter.

With the remaining three rounds played, the Thunder had a two-point lead at 24:26.

In the second quarter of the rotation, head coach Phil Jackson learned the lessons of the last game, Kobe Bryant and Gasol continued to play, while Shannon Brown, Wharton, and Odom came off the bench.

Coach Brooks also took Li Ze and Durant, plus Sofrosa, Ibaka, and Collison, and continued the rotation lineup from previous games.

But after only playing for more than three minutes, Li Ze found that the shooting rate of Durant and Ibaka began to decline, and they failed to hit open shots for three consecutive rounds, at which time the Lakers overtook the score.

The Thunder attacked, this time Li Ze did not pass half court and quickly handed over the ball, signaling Collison to go up to block and dismantle, Vujacic kept staring at Li Ze, noticed Collisson's movements, and couldn't help but immediately step forward to defend.

But just as he moved, Li Ze's left hand suddenly in

and

out, pretending to accelerate the breakthrough, Vujacic subconsciously took a big step back, at this time Li Ze quickly dribbled behind his left hand and made a jump shot outside the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"What a cross throw! The Lakers had just taken a 4-point lead, and when they noticed that their teammates were suddenly dumbfounded, Li Ze immediately responded outside the three-point line! ”

Yang Yi saw Li Ze hit a three-pointer again, and immediately raised the volume of his commentary.

"Squeak..."

Coach Phil Jackson quickly asked for a timeout, he wanted to interrupt Li Ze's offensive rhythm and get back to the main lineup by the way, he would never make the mistake of G3 again, and he would knock the main team to death!

Durant who returned to the bench began to gasp for air, although there was no Artest defensive entanglement in the early part of the second quarter, he felt that his physical fitness was declining, which was also the impact of too much involvement in defense, and the integration of offense and defense was still too reluctant for him now.

"Guys, hold on, there will be problems with the opponent's fitness, Ibaka, control the foul!"

"Take advantage of the cover, play more blocks and dismantles, Kayce, once the big man comes out and attacks decisively, we have to respond."

The Ford Center is too noisy, the head coach Brooks is roaring about the tactics, and the coaching staff has identified the fitness problems of the players, but this is a hard injury, and if you want to defend well, you have to consume too much energy.

For the rest of the second quarter, the scores of the two sides continued to rise alternately, the Lakers were iron-hearted and frenzied, Gasol and Bynum were overturned on the Thunder's inside, and even if the two points under this kind of basket could not be scored, the two sides would grab the rebounds in the backcourt.

When the Thunder entered the state of foul and free throws, Artest also began to frequently hit the inside, but Kobe and Fisher played less aggressively and only shot when they got an absolute outside opportunity.

And the Thunder's offense completely relies on Li Ze and the Turtles, Jeff Green and Ibaka have been out of temper by the Lakers' twin towers, and Durant, who has declined in physical fitness, is even more iron, but fortunately, Li Ze and the Turtles can always score in response, and the Thunder always bite the score.

At halftime, at 52:50, the Lakers took a two-point lead.

At halftime, in the Sina studio, because the Thunder team was behind, the host Ke Xiaofan and the two guests were not in high mood, and the first half of the game completely entered the rhythm of the Lakers' game, and everyone was a little depressed.

"In the second quarter of the game, except for Li Ze and Westbrook, the other three were basically dumb on the offensive end, Mr. Yang, how do you think the Thunder should adjust in the second half?"

Yang Yi heard the host Ke Xiaofan's question, and said helplessly:

"Basketball is not only about offense, defense is also important, and the Thunder are currently able to lead 2-1 precisely because they are good enough on the defensive end, but in the face of the impact of the Lakers' twin towers, after three games, there are still physical problems."

"23 defense, Durant is the one who frequently retreats, after the last game, his physical fitness should be a little overdrawn, and for the Thunder, they are almost impossible to adjust, why all teams want to form twin towers, is because big men are more stable in the playoffs."

After Director Zhang heard Yang Yi's words, he immediately took over the conversation:

"The Lakers also changed their defensive strategy, and it was obvious in the second quarter that they let go of Jeff Green and Ibaka on the defensive end, and Kobe Bryant only took 6 shots in the first half, which is not Kobe's style of play, and I guess it will definitely have to explode in the second half."

"Li Ze's physical fitness on the Thunder team's side is really good, he has been staring at Kobe Bryant in these few games, but his physical fitness has not been affected at all, he still has to defend in the second half, Kobe Bryant should be saving up energy in the first half!"

"Thanks to the comments of the two, the fans of the Thunder team don't have to worry, the point difference is negligible, there are still two quarters of the game in the second half, and after a period of halftime, the physical fitness will also recover, let's watch a short video of the Thunder team first, and look forward to the play of the second half of the game between the two sides!"

In the Thunder locker room, Jeff Green, Ibaka, and Collison all looked tired, and Durant also looked a little sluggish.

Every backcourt rebound needs to be hand-to-hand, in the case of lack of physical fitness, two big players over 2.10 meters do still occupy more advantages, after all, the opponent is tall and long, and the pestle is in the restricted area, it is possible to pick up rebounds...

"We are only 24 minutes away from winning! It's a battle of willpower, the Lakers are just as tired as we are, and they're under more pressure! ”

"Imagine winning this game and we'll have match points in our hands and the finals just around the corner! Very few teams can complete the comeback after falling behind 1:3, hold on guys! ”

Coach Brooks can only send chicken soup for the soul at this time, and by the way, put the cake of the finals in front of everyone...

After the start of the third quarter of the game, Li Ze quickly entered the offensive mode, receiving the ball with his back to the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, and the turtle quickly cut inside to take away Fisher's defense.

Li Ze felt that Kobe Bryant was pressing his forearm against his back behind him, turned around suddenly, quickly tested his left foot, and then made a dry jump shot.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

"Hah!"

The crowd at the Ford Center Arena immediately cheered for Li Ze's goal, and the team played a little dull in the first half, and everyone now expects Li Ze to suddenly play a wave.

And the Lakers' offense suddenly became simple and rough, Fisher just dribbled past the halfcourt, Kobe Bryant immediately asked for the ball with his back on the right side of the waist, and after receiving the pass, the Lakers quickly cleared one side, leaving only Fisher at the top of the arc waiting for the response.

Kobe, who had enough rest in the first half, quickly released the ball with his left hand in the face of Li Ze's defense, and after slapping his back twice, he immediately turned over and jumped back.

The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

"Shhh

As soon as the audience saw Bryant's goal, they immediately erupted in huge boos.

In the next few minutes, Kobe Bryant and Li Ze both deducted the pass button at the same time, you hit me, I hit you, both sides maintained a very high shooting rate, the technical styles of the two are very similar, and the scene of star players racing each other also made Russian City fans addicted.

The Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant used Bynum's cover to get rid of Li Ze's entanglement, and the three-point shot is now a two-point pull-up jump shot.

"Whew...", two long points were scored.

Looking back, the Thunder team quickly sent out the baseline ball, Li Ze used Jeff Green's cover, received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side outside the three-point line, and while Ibaka feigned blocking and dismantling, he crossed the ball with his left hand and broke through, shook the moment Kobe Bryant, and made a one-step stop-and-jump shot inside the three-point line.

"Huh...", the long two points responded.

This kind of mutual competition scene lasted for more than 5 minutes, the Lakers attacked, after Kobe Bryant hit the iron for the first time in the third quarter, Gasol grabbed the rebound under the basket, and scored the second offense, after which, the Lakers began to frantically attack the interior again.

It's clear that head coach Phil Jackson is just letting the twin-tower lineup breathe a sigh of relief on the court, and the Lakers' tactics haven't changed...

The fans at the scene also discovered the physical problems of the home team's players, and under the leadership of the live DJ, they began to cheer for the Thunder team continuously:

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

The Thunder attacked, and when Li Ze received the ball again at the left elbow area of the free throw line, Fisher directly gave up the turtle in the opposite position, and immediately came over to wrap Li Ze with Kobe.

In the face of such a defense, Li Ze quickly gave the ball to the turtle who was in the empty position at the top of the arc, who received the ball and jumped outside the three-point line without hesitation.

"Bang...", he was angry.

The Lakers took the rebound in the backcourt and did not push the transition offense, but continued to start their high-low post cooperation, and after a few hits, after a few shots, after a quick pass from the outside, Fisher carried the cannon and made an open three-point jumper.

The three-pointer went into the net, and the Lakers widened the gap to six points.

After the baseline ball was quickly released, Li Ze directly held the ball and dribbled across the half court, Kobe Bryant seemed to feel that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to defend, at this time Li Ze's right hand quickly in

and

out, followed by a large change of direction in front of the body, directly shook Kobe Bryant.

After dribbling with his left hand, he made a pull-up jump shot from beyond the three-point line.

The three-pointer was scored again.

"Defend, guys, defend a round!"

Li Ze didn't care about trash talk with Kobe, quickly returned to defense, and reminded everyone to maintain defensive focus, but unfortunately willpower sometimes can't solve physical fitness problems.

Ibaka, who was declining in physical fitness, received his fourth foul, and Collisson, who came off the bench, had limited ability to protect the basket, and the Thunder's rebounds were finally stolen...

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers played two consecutive offenses, and the twin towers began to exert their power on the Thunder's inside, and since Li Ze hit the emergency stop three-pointer, Kobe Bryant switched to the turtle.

At the same time, head coach Phil Jackson began to constantly replace cannon fodder defenders and stalked Li Ze, and Shannon Brown, Famar, Wharton, and Fisher took turns to successfully consume Li Ze...

At 96:90, the Lakers relied on the Twin Towers lineup to tenaciously pull the score to 2:2, and the battle of Tianwang Mountain will also return to Los Angeles.

After the game, Li Ze, who scored the highest 27 points in the team, felt a little bitter in his heart, basketball is still 5 people, at this stage, the Thunder trio can not achieve the integration of offense and defense, and then see the teammates who are paralyzed on the bench, I can only helplessly think:

"In the 09~10 season, it's really still the world of big men..."
