Chapter 260: Win MVP Again (10,000-word chapter)

The biggest upset in the first round of the NBA playoffs in the 2011~2012 season occurred in the series of the Bulls, who had the first record in the East, and Derrick Rose was eventually injured.

In the game against the 76ers G2 on May 1, Derrick Rose clutched his knee in pain after landing on a breakaway at the beginning of the game.

Fans thought it was just a normal sprain, but after a detailed diagnosis, the Chicago fans were all dumbfounded.

Torn cruciate ligament in the left knee, such an injury is absolutely fatal for a player who focuses on breaking.

And in the game that night, the 76ers seized the opportunity and successfully won on the road, and Coach Tom Thibodeau was also dumbfounded, the team's strongest attack point was gone, how to play in the following games.

The playoffs proved once again that the playoffs were indeed the stage for stars, and on the night of the 10th, the Bulls limited the 76ers with an iron-blooded defense for the entire game, and even with 1:39 left in the game, the Bulls still led by 3 points.

But in the final few rounds, when the team needed to score the most, the Bulls didn't have a player who could step up, and instead it was the 76ers' Andre Iguodala who drew a foul with a breakaway with 5.9 seconds left in the game.

hit both free throws, successfully overtook the score, and at the last moment, Iguodala sent a block again, one attack and one defense, completely killing the game, 78:79, and finally the 76ers who fought at home scored 4:2, and the black eight succeeded!

Li Ze watched a game at his home in the city, and when he thought that Derrick Rose was still injured, he couldn't help but think of the wandering Rose in the future.

"The Bulls also reached the Eastern Conference Finals last year, but they stopped in the first round this year, and Derrick Rose should be more disciplined, maybe eat a little less gummy bears, quit snacking, and he won't get hurt."

As soon as the turtle turtle finished saying this, Nina next to her immediately glared at her boyfriend fiercely, and immediately dismantled the stage and said:

"Would you quit sweets? I warned you not to eat those high-calorie desserts, but you have to eat them two or three times a week, and even the toast for breakfast has to be covered with jam, which is what you call self-discipline? ”

“.”

As soon as Li Ze saw the turtle turtle, he was speechless again, so he had to play a round for his good brother:

"Russell consumes a lot of daily training, it's okay to eat a little high-calorie food once in a while, and he doesn't eat junk food every time he plays away, I promise it's true!"

When the turtle saw that his girlfriend was still complaining, he quickly stood up and said to Li Ze:

"That's it! It's not early, Kayce still has to rest, let's go home early tonight, it's not good to qualify too early, and we have to wait for 5 days for the semi-finals! ”

Nina glared at her boyfriend again, and then said goodbye to Li Ze with a smile:

"Good night, Kayce, remember to come to the house for dinner tomorrow, we have a baking party on the weekend, we must come to join when the time comes, old friends are here!"

"No problem, as long as you don't dislike me for eating too much!"

Li Ze thought of the weekly fixed blind date party, and he felt a little powerless to complain, and after sending the two away, he returned to the study again to browse tonight's news, and almost laughed out loud when he saw the civil war in the media in Los Angeles.

The Thunder team easily defeated the Jazz away at 108:81 on the 7th, swept the opponent directly 4:0, and easily advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

The opponent in the semifinals is still in a tug-of-war, the Lakers lead 3:2, and if the tenacious Clippers can move another city, then the two sides will have a tie-breaker.

Regardless of who of the two teams can advance in the end, there is only one day left for each other to recuperate, and the Thunder will gain a huge advantage!

Li Ze noticed that the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs had all ended, and he couldn't help but send silent wishes to the series between the Lakers and the Clippers:

"It's best to have a big 7 battle, then take a day off and fly directly to Russia, and wait until the semi-finals G1 will definitely pull across!"

On the morning of the 11th, since there was only one game between the Lakers and Clippers that night, ESPN and TNT warmed up for both teams at the same time.

ESPN is more orthodox and has conducted detailed data analysis of the previous games, while in TNT's show, host Earnie Johnson has gone off the beaten path and ravaged the Thunder's hot spots:

"I really can't predict which team will end up in the Western Conference semifinals in this series!"

"But if the Clippers drag the game into a tiebreaker, then both teams only have one day to adjust, and I think it's going to be very difficult for both of them to withstand the Thunder's offense."

Kenny Smith also played the role of a Thunder supporter, and at this time he immediately brought out the data to enhance his persuasiveness:

"The Thunder won the first four games by an average of 20 points per game, and Kayce was very efficient, averaging 28.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 turnovers per game."

"What's even more terrifying is that Kayce is shooting 58.7 percent from the field and 53.0 percent from three-point range, and I don't think the Lakers and Clippers will be able to limit him from the outside, and given the fitness of both teams, it will be difficult for them to win on the road."

Of course, O'Neal will speak for the Lakers, who almost turned into a Komi after joining TNT, and the traffic password is so tight:

"I'm sure Kobe Bryant is going to end the fight tonight, I'm bullish on the Lakers, Bynum is getting better and better this season, the Lakers have two great big men, which is incredibly important in the playoffs, and they're going to dominate the interior in the series!"

"Shaq is right, the Lakers signed Ramon Sessions, and although I want to be upset with Fisher, Sessions is really better in terms of performance on the court, and the Lakers have no flaws in the current lineup, and they can make it out of the West this year."

Charles Barkley started to go crazy with the poisoned milk Lakers, and host Earnie Johnson threw out the stats again:

Russell Westbrook averaged 23.6 points per game in the regular season, shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from three-point range, and even increased efficiency in the first round of the playoffs!"

"Kevin Durant was even better, averaging 27.6 points per game in the first round, shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from three-point range, guys, I would say that the Thunder are unstoppable from the outside."

"Kobe Bryant is going to step up, I know him, he's going to never admit defeat and he's going to prove that he's still the best player in the league!"

O'Neal continues to play the role of Kobe Bryant's supporter, but he doesn't want to mention Excel, after all, Kobe Bryant's first few games were indeed a bit iron

The game that night, the heat was very high, the Los Angeles derby, the scene was indeed very good, Kobe Bryant made 32 crazy shots, hit 14 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 43 points!

Unfortunately, in the end, the Lakers still lost the game, and the tenacious Clippers moved back to one city again with the play of role players, 99:102, and the series score came to 3:3.

As a result, there will be two tie-breakers in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies and Nuggets will also have a tie-break, and tomorrow night, the Eastern Conference semifinals 76ers vs Celtics will also officially begin.

On May 12, the NBA league announced this season's SMOY (Best Sixth Man), and Louis Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers won the award with an average of 14.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Add to that Tyson Chandler, who previously won the DPOY (Best Defensive Player), Ryan Anderson (Most Improved Player) in MIP, and Greg Popovich in COY (Best Coach), and most of this season's awards have been awarded.

And the selection of MVP has already begun, Li Ze and Loeb Lang James both played exceptionally well in the first round of the playoffs, and in the case of similar impression scores, Excel is very important!

In the evening's game, the Grizzlies won the tie-break 87-96 with excellent defense, and their opponent in the semifinals will be the Spurs.

The Spurs comfortably defeated the Mavericks 4-1 in the first round, and Nowitzki was eliminated in the first round again, and the nickname "soft egg" was once again on the head of the super power forward.

In the other Eastern Conference semifinals, 91-92, Kevin Garnett performed very well, shooting 60% from the field to record a double-double of 29 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Celtics win a tough home victory over the 76ers.

On May 13th, the Thunder team received a notice from the league that Li Ze was successfully elected as the MVP (the most valuable player) in the 2011~2012 season

The Thunder uniform team was also very happy after receiving the news, for a small ball market, the player won the MVP just like the New Year, after receiving the news, the team's official Twitter immediately sent a message, and at the same time, the Instagram was also updated synchronously.

In the morning training session, although Durant was possessed by lemon essence, he also sent blessings, although the turtle turtle was pantothenic in his heart, but his good brother won the award, he was still relatively happy, and the others even slapped the sycophants wildly, directly blowing Li Ze into the sky!

"It's hard to break a record like this in the future, and it's not okay if Michael Jordan is here this time, Kayce, can I touch your trophy?"

"With 34% of the vote, successfully crushing LeBron James, this is a great achievement, James has been so efficient this season, but in comparison, Kayce really deserves to win the award!"

"Tomorrow we can attend the MVP press conference again, I really like this part, haha, after retiring, I want to brag a lot, ordinary players can't see such a scene."

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Li Ze was also very happy, fortunately, he played 180 club data this season, otherwise LeBron James might have counterattacked and won the award with the advantage of the household register.

"Pick the location, I'll have a treat tonight, anyway, there are still two days before the semi-finals, let's relax together!"

"Great!"

As soon as the atmosphere group saw Li Ze directly throwing money, they immediately screamed excitedly, in the Thunder team, there is always a chance to play for free, this day, comfortable!

In the tie-break battle that night, the Lakers finally had the last laugh, 82:92, relying on excellent defense, the Lakers successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Hapless Chris Paul fell in the first round this year, and although he scored a team-high 19 points, the limitations of the small guard were exposed in the final stages of the game, and the Clippers struggled to score even in the second half of the fourth quarter.

On the morning of the 15th, in the press conference hall of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Amilika's media reporters gathered in Russia again, and CCTV Sports of the Celestial Empire also sent Zhang Coach and host Yang Jian, the second consecutive MVP, which is definitely a great achievement!

The host Yang Jian looked at the press conference hall full of reporters, and immediately smiled and said to Director Zhang beside him:

"I always feel that such a scene is familiar, tonight's Western Conference semifinals are against the Lakers, which seems to be no different from last year, but Li Ze's performance this year is really good!"

"As long as you are healthy, it is estimated that the future records will be Li Ze's, which is really amazing! Before the age of 22, he won two MVPs, and if he reached the finals again this year, if he won another award, hey, the first person in history! ”

Director Zhang is also in a good mood, not to mention anything else, at least every time they come to Russia, they will be warmly welcomed by local fans, and the treatment is better than Houston, the only pity is that Russiatown is too small, there is really nothing to play

With a smile on the spot, the host of the scene placed the two MVP trophies on the lecture table, after looking around, said in a brisk tone:

"Let's welcome this season's leading scorer, member of the 180 Club, and youngest MVP in history, Kayce-LI!"

The teammates on the right side of the podium began to applaud, the team staff on the left, everyone also began to smile and chirp, and the media reporters in the audience also gave warm applause.

Li Ze, who was wearing a dark blue handmade suit with a gray tie, appeared with a smile, first shook hands with the host, and then leaned on the lecture table and said with a smile:

"Thank you all for your support! It's a bit familiar, but it's a great feeling to get the MVP! ”

"Thanks again to the NBA, it's been a tough season for all of us, but we've managed 66 games, which is definitely a great achievement."

"Thank you to the Thunder, Coach Brooks for putting together a great game for us, the coaching staff and the staff for taking good care of us, and for making the playoffs all healthy, and I want to say thank you again on behalf of my teammates."

"Of course, thanks to my teammates, basketball is a team sport, I wouldn't have been able to win this award without your support, and finally I want to thank the fans again, the MVP is good, but I want to deliver on the promise of the offseason."

"We're bringing the O'Brien Cup back to Russia, and the Chesapeake Energy Arena is getting its second championship flag!"

The Russian city media at the scene immediately sent warm applause, although the team has been caught in trade rumors this season, but at this moment, everyone is thinking of the playoffs and championships, one championship is certainly not enough, Russian City fans have even taken out loans for three consecutive championships

Li Ze, who was dressed in a formal suit, was smiling, with two MVP trophies in front of him, and the media reporters at the scene began to take pictures frantically, and everyone sighed in their hearts:

"Witness history again!"

On the same day, Amerika's sports news headlines became Li Ze won the MVP again, and the NBA league spared no effort in publicity, the league is best at star-making sports, and the blowing is over, fans just like gimmicky topics!

When NBA commissioner David Stern came to the Chesapeake Energy Arena in the evening to present the MVP trophy to Li Ze again, everyone on the Lakers who came to the city in a hurry was suddenly sour.

Kobe Bryant heard the tsunami-like cheers from the arena, and saw the happy smile of Mr. President, and his heart was crazy with lemons, he hadn't retired yet, and as a result, the league was renewed.

Everyone in the Lakers team saw that the boss always pulled his face and didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to say anything, since Mike Brown coached, Kobe Bryant has more balls, and if you want to get data, you have to ask the boss if he agrees!

In this case, although the role players are dissatisfied, they will never dare to blow up their hair in the team, otherwise Kobe will reward you with a few elbows in training, in short, in the Lakers, Kobe is the real boss.

Durant, who was on the sidelines, saw Li Ze holding the little bronze man and accepting the photos of the media on the scene again, and he was envious to death.

Although the team always wins, the spotlight is not on him, and as long as he thinks of Li Ze's data, Durant feels that the future is not bright, so he also has his own ambitions for this year's playoffs:

Without MVP, FMVP can still be fought for!

The game is about to start, and tonight, the uniform team will also distribute blue T-shirts to the fans who are present, with the Thunder logo on the chest, and an English word printed underneath: Again!

The white T-shirt in the first round, the blue T-shirt in the Western Conference semifinals, and the Western Conference finals and the finals will become blue and white, because the opponent is the Lakers, the Russian city fans on the scene are becoming more and more excited, and many people have begun to shake up the white handkerchief in their hands.

When the referee signaled for the players from both sides to come to the center circle, the crowd erupted in cheers, and then immediately began to shout:

“BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA! ”

When Bynum jumped to the ball for the Lakers, the shouts in the Chesapeake Energy Arena seemed to be louder, and the crowd all got up to watch the game in the first two rounds of the game, and the pressure came up.

Ramon Sessions had just dribbled past half court when the turtles immediately stepped forward to press, and after the collision, they immediately pulled away and pressed the opponent directly to the touchline.

Kobe Bryant saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately thought of receiving at the top of the arc, Li Ze of course would not let the opponent easily receive the ball, and always firmly guarded Kobe's side.

Sessions saw Kobe Bryant raise the ball and hurriedly played the ball, but the ball just came out and was directly stolen by the turtle, and a burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the arena, and Li Ze immediately accelerated with all his strength at the moment when the turtle completed the steal.

Kobe Bryant stayed up for 7 games in the last round of the series, only had a day of rest, and his reaction was half a beat slower, and when he wanted to chase the defense, he found that Li Ze had already thrown him two positions

Turtle Turtle rushed through the halfcourt, noticed that Li Ze had entered the three-point line, and immediately sent a high toss pass, Li Ze jumped up, grabbed the ball with his right hand in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, and vigorously pressed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!

"Oh!"

After completing the dunk, Li Zewei screamed, and then immediately completed the chest collision with the excited turtle turtle to celebrate, and the Russian fans at the scene also shouted excitedly, frantically shook the white handkerchief in their hands, and the stadium immediately turned into a sea of white.

Ramon Sessions saw Kobe's death stare, and felt a little aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, and after driving the baseline ball, he dribbled across the half court again, and Gasol went to the free throw line to receive the ball.

Bryant wanted to complete a hand-to-hand hand, but found that Li Ze's defense was too tight, and after a little shaking, he quickly came to the left wing outside the three-point line, and then instructed Gasol to give the ball to Bynum in the low post.

The latter received the pass, immediately clattered and hit, crushed to the paint area, turned around with the ball in his right hand, carried Perkins away, and threw the ball into the basket with his left hand!

"Shh

Seeing that Perkins didn't resist Bynum, the Russian City fans at the scene immediately broke out into huge boos, in the hearts of Russian City fans, Bynum is the most unpopular player, and everyone will always remember the big elbow in the first Western Conference Finals

The Thunder quickly sent a baseline ball, and after the turtle dribbled past half court, he immediately gave the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc, and then signaled Ibaka to lift up, Perkins stood on the right side near the baseline, and at the same time, the turtle also left and ran to the right flank to open up the offensive space.

Entering the Western Conference semifinals, the Thunder's tactics have become more simple and crude, 1-4Flat tactics are the tactics that Coach Brooks focuses on practicing this season, and when he reaches the Western Conference semifinals, he naturally has to show real skills.

The purpose of this strategy is to give the opposing wing players excellent space to play alone, with Li Ze holding the ball at the top of the arc, Ibaka coming to the line to cover high, Tortoise and Perkins on the same side, and Durant alone on the left wing.

“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Ibaka just came to the three-point line and stood still, Kobe Bryant immediately chose to defend, ready to rush to cover, seeing Li Ze's right hand push the ball and change direction, Kobe Bryant hurriedly slid to the right.

Noticing Kobe's defensive movements, Li Ze suddenly pulled the ball back with his left hand, half-turned and moved, shaking Kobe's defensive center of gravity to the left again, and then Li Ze accelerated with the ball in his left hand.

Ibaka immediately went down after the cover, taking away Gasol's defense, Artest saw that Kobe Bryant was out of position, and hurriedly stepped forward to delay, but just moved half a step, and the moving Li Zi flicked his left wrist and sent a horizontal pass accurately.

After receiving the pass, Durant, who was on the left wing outside the three-point line, did not make any adjustments, and threw the ball away!

“Beautiful Pass! Durant Open the three! Yes! ”

On the TNT live commentary seat, Kevin Harlan instantly raised the volume of his commentary, and the Russian City fans began to throw up the white handkerchiefs in their hands again, hitting the outside three-pointer at the beginning, and too many breaks did not have any impact.

In the next few minutes, Li Ze found that Kobe Bryant seemed to be a little tired and did not participate too much in the offense, but Bynum was very active and choked Perkins enough.

Tested Kobe's physical condition, and when Bynum hit a two-point shot again, Li Ze immediately made an offensive gesture on the baseline serve.

After the half, the turtle once again commanded his teammates to settle down, and this low-post singles tactic became more and more outstanding with Li Ze's card position skills, and there was no longer any need for the cover of the bottom line.

Perkins once again stood on the right side near the baseline and waited to eat the cake, Ibaka stood at the free throw line to answer at any time, Durant moved in the right corner and on the wing, and after the turtle sent a high toss pass, he went directly away from the top of the arc to open up the offensive space.

Although Kobe Bryant wanted to go around the front defense several times, Li Ze easily saw through it, firmly stuck the opponent behind him, and after receiving the pass in the left blocking area, he released the ball with his right hand and hit it twice.

Then with a twist of his body, pretending to break through on the line, Kobe Bryant hurriedly slid to the left side to block, and saw Li Ze with his left foot as the axis, turned around quickly, easily came to the bottom left of the basket, and hit the board with his left hand to make a layup!

There was a huge cheer in his ears, and Kobe Bryant noticed that he had been dragged to the paint area by Li Ze, and was forced to retreat twice by hitting.

Realizing that his body was suffering, Kobe Bryant's heart was full of anger, he usually relied on hitting children, but the situation was reversed, and this sense of disparity was difficult for him to accept.

In the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe Bryant finally took the initiative to ask for the ball, Li Ze was happy in his heart, if he continued to let Bynum scare Perkins, it is estimated that it will take less than two minutes, and the second foul is coming, Kobe Bryant wants the ball to reduce the pressure on the inside.

After receiving a pass from Ramon Sessions at the left elbow area of the free throw line, in the face of Li Ze's defense, after Kobe Bryant protected the ball, he tried to step forward with his right foot, and then stepped quickly, and at the same time put the ball with his left hand and dribbled through the cross-step.

Dribbled vigorously twice in a row in the direction of the baseline direction, and then suddenly closed the ball and shook it, Kobe Bryant saw that Li Ze in front of him was not shaken at all, and after shaking it again, he forcibly threw a backward jumper.

Under Li Ze's interference, the ball hit the front of the basket directly, Ibaka struggled to protect the rebound, and the Russian fans at the scene cheered again when they saw Kobe Bryant playing iron.

The Lakers' retreat was fast, and this time the turtle gave the ball to Durant after half court, and with the same tactic, Li Ze came to the left wing.

Ibaka's cover was forced by Artest, and Durant did not force the attack, but threw the ball directly into Li Ze's hands, and at the same time motioned for Ibaka to help cover.

Kobe Bryant was looking at Ibaka's movements, while paying attention to Li Ze who was holding the ball, and when the cover was about to happen, Li Ze's body suddenly shook to the right.

At the moment when Kobe's defensive center of gravity shifted, Li Ze took a big stride with his right foot, released the ball with his left hand, lowered his body's center of gravity, and broke through with a cross-step dribble, and Kobe Bryant was swept clean all of a sudden.

Gasol didn't have time to help defend at all, so he could only watch Li Ze take off directly after three strong dribbles, and Bynum under the basket immediately jumped up and blocked.

In the exclamation of the Russian city fans, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, changed hands in the air in the face of the block, and after a short period of time, he wheeled the ball into the basket with his right hand!

“Slam dunk! OH! What a play by Kayce! ”

After the flank broke through the air to change hands and dunk, the commentator Kevin Harlan roared passionately, and after completing the dunk, Li Ze beat his chest and put on a cold boss.

"Well done! Bro! ”

The turtle was the first to come forward to celebrate, pulling Li Ze and shouting.

As soon as the head coach Mike Brown on the sidelines saw that the score became 12:16, he immediately asked for a timeout to be on the safe side, and Kobe Bryant returned to the bench without saying a word, and it was indeed his problem in these few rounds

After the timeout, the Lakers began to hit the ball to the inside again, and Gasol, who received the ball in the low post on the right side, was a little uncomfortable with Ibaka's face-sealing defense, and after three threats, he put the ball with his right hand, dribbled and turned to the paint area, and completed the throw against the defense.

"Bang!" Hit a piece of iron.

Durant took the rebound, and then immediately gave it to the accelerated turtle, who immediately rushed across the half court after receiving the ball, changed direction in front of the moving body, and then rushed up in three steps, carrying Ramon Sessions, gliding in the air and picking up the basket with his right hand!

When the Lakers saw the jumping turtles, they instantly remembered the situation in the regular season, and Bynum didn't even retreat back, and the Thunder had already scored 2 points.

In the second half of the first quarter, perhaps due to their physical condition, Gasol and Bynum's shooting percentages began to drop, and they were hit twice after the iron.

Coach Mike Brown watched anxiously from the sidelines, but there was no good solution, but Artest hit two three-pointers in the final moments, which allowed the Lakers to score more than 20

At 23:32, the Thunder took a nine-point lead in the first quarter.

"Kobe Bryant's fitness seems to have a little problem, and there wasn't much offense in the first quarter, and of course, I want to praise Kayce's defense, which allowed Bryant to score only five points on 1-of-3 shooting in the first quarter."

Steve Kerr saw that Kobe Bryant was comprehensively suppressed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he was infinitely emotional, and it seemed that the former superstar was about to be knocked down by time.

"It's hard for the Lakers to make adjustments on the defensive end, and the Twin Towers have a huge problem with pick-and-rolls and drop-outs!"

"Kayce was 4 of 6 in a single quarter, scoring in the three-second zone, two conversions, one dunk, one low-post single, Durant hit two three-pointers, and also had a conversion offense, while Westbrook's 6 points were free throws in addition to conversion, this kind of scoring is too easy!"

Kevin Harlan heard the words of Reggie Miller and Steve Cole, and immediately asked cooperatively:

"So how do the Lakers adjust? They also have Matt Barnes and Jordan Hill off the bench, and of course Steve Blake is also an experienced point guard. ”

"I really can't figure out how the Lakers should deploy the roster, so I'll leave that to head coach Mike Brown!"

“.”

On the bench of the visiting team, coach Mike Brown was already confused, and he wanted to use the strongest tactic to get Kobe Bryant on the court immediately in the second quarter, but seeing his superstar gasping for breath at this time, he could only dispel this idea.

Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, Artest, Jordan Hill and Pau Gasol were on the pitch, and head coach Mike Brown could only silently pray that Gasol's form would return.

Coach Brooks was still in the regular rotation, and the game went more smoothly than he expected, patting Li Ze on the shoulder before going on the court, signaling Li Ze to play freely.

On the first offense after the start of the second quarter, Gasol immediately felt numb when he saw that the Thunder were in a "V" position, and Matt Barnes immediately stepped forward to interfere after Li Zed's half-court.

Li Ze easily protected the ball with his back, noticed that Collison had already moved up to the three-point line, his shoulders shook back slightly, and after half turning around and feintting, his left hand suddenly accelerated.

Matt Barnes hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, but Li Ze suddenly changed direction in front of him, almost letting Matt Barnes hit the street directly.

At this time, Collison's cover stood on the right wing outside the three-point line, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, broke through with the opponent's body and completely got rid of the defense.

As a result, the defense was too big, Li Ze suddenly dribbled behind his back with his right hand in the middle of the march, and immediately shook Gasol to a stumbling position, taking advantage of the opponent's loss of defensive center of gravity, his left hand changed direction very quickly, and the ball in his right hand accelerated with all his might.

Easily passed the defense, after Li Ze broke through to the paint area, he took two big steps, changed the rhythm, deftly stepped to the basket, dodged Gasol's block, and picked up the basket with his right hand!

"It's not a good defensive option, the Lakers shouldn't let Gasol defend Kayce all the time, head coach Mike Brown should remember how Kayce singled out big men in his rookie season, and hopefully the Lakers won't make that mistake in the next round!"

Steve Kerr once again complained about the Lakers' defense, and at the same time was a little speechless in his heart, if the Lakers only had these tricks, he even felt that he could play him

After the goal, Li Ze chuckled at Gasol, this kind of small and big opportunity, he has not encountered it for a long time.

After [Misalignment Expert] was upgraded to Gold, he gained even less game experience, so he is 100% welcome to the Lakers' defensive strategy!

Matt Barnes originally had a lot of confidence after playing the game with the Clippers, but when he met Li Ze, he was beaten back to his original form, and when he thought of the regular season, Barnes couldn't help but feel stunned.

The Lakers, who rotated the lineup, had a fast offensive rhythm, but the shooting rate was worrying, and after Gasol hit 1 of 3, the difference had come to 13 points, and Coach Mike Brown couldn't care about Kobe's physical condition at this time, and immediately asked for a timeout to change back to the main lineup.

When the game entered the official timeout in the second quarter, Coach Brooks also replaced Li Ze in advance, and the double-digit lead allowed the Thunder to adjust calmly, and the coaching staff has begun to reserve energy for the third quarter.

In the second half of the second quarter, the turtle after the game was in a very good state, after blocking and dismantling in the high position, he hit the middle distance continuously, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot, and the turtle also responded on the outside in the next round.

Such a scene made the Russian fans at the scene even more excited, seeing that the Lakers were never able to tie the point difference, some front-row spectators even began to spew trash talk at halftime:

"Keep moving! We love to see you strike iron! ”

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and as a result, the next round of the three-point shot after the pick-and-roll hit a shot, and Ibaka accepted the rebound and immediately gave it to the turtle, who took the ball and rushed around, and finally caused Ramon Sessions to foul.

The iron was counterattacked, and by the end of the half, at 44:61, the Thunder extended the margin to 17 points.

On the TNT commentary seat, the three looked at each other, some didn't know what to say, and finally it was Reggie Miller who took the lead and said:

"It was a great half, Kayce played well in the first half, 7-of-11 and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 18 points efficiently!"

“.”

Steve Kerr didn't want to speak, it took half a game, where is such a game exciting, commentator Kevin Harlan hurriedly took over the topic:

"The Lakers had some problems on the defensive end in the first half, but Kobe Bryant scored 10 points on 3-of-7 shooting, and his form is gradually recovering, and I believe the Lakers will launch a counterattack in the second half."

At halftime, the three of them analyzed on the commentary bench, and the Lakers would definitely launch a counterattack, and when the third quarter of the game began, the three were completely confused.

In the third quarter of the game, 4 minutes and 26 seconds, Li Ze used Perkins' high post blocking to get rid of Kobe's entanglement, noticed that Bynum's defense did not fully keep up, and made a pull-up jump shot at the top of the arc outside the three-point line!

“BANG! BANG! ”
