Chapter 26: Scorching G5

Li Jie's step-back three-point posture is very handsome, but he quickly loses his joy.

In the following game, as soon as he got the ball, the Thunder began to wrap up.

Harden couldn't defend alone, so he asked Eric Mayno to help defend; After Meno was off, it was Sefolosha who came to defend.

After all, Li Jie is a virgin in two lifetimes, and he couldn't stand it in the face of the sudden pinching attack, so he shot several times in a row...... Oh no, didn't even make a few shots.

On the other hand, on the Thunder's side, Harden broke through several times in a row, and then distributed the ball to his teammates, stretching the difference to 6 points at once.

The speed of breaking through the pressure made Li Jie ashamed.

But then he also learned to be obedient, no longer thinking about being his own, but looking for teammates to help.

Didn't you say I only knew how to attack? Tonight Lao Tzu started with a pass.

Bynum and Gasol, who are back on the field, are overjoyed that you finally remember to pass the ball to us.

Since Li Jie's start, the ball possession of the two of them has dropped a lot. After all, there are so many shots, Li Jie has to attack by himself, and he has to pass the ball to Kobe, so there will naturally be less left for them.

And they can't express this emotion, because Li Jie's average points per game are there, and they may not necessarily score so many points in exchange.

So, having a guard who can score is not a good thing for an interior player, and you're going to be a tool guy for rebounds and pick-and-rolls.

However, today Li Jie actually passed the ball to them, and everyone was happy.

Bynum, in particular, opened the day with two goals and was in good form. But the ball didn't reach his hands later, and he was suffocated, and now he suddenly received a pass again, not to mention how happy he was.

And when he is happy, someone will be unlucky.

The Thunder were responsible for defending Bynum from the bench Collison, but with his body, he couldn't bear it at all, and was soon scored twice by Bynum.

Thunder head coach Brooks saw that something was wrong and immediately replaced Perkins, which curbed Bynum's offense.

The game between the two sides in the second quarter quickly entered a white-hot state again.

Although Li Jie couldn't attack, Bynum stepped up, and Kobe's score was as sharp as ever.

On the Thunder side, under the leadership of Sanshao, they are also not inferior on the offensive end, and even have an advantage.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers, who were playing at home, temporarily trailed the Thunder at 52:53.

In the second half, it was easy to play again.

Because both sides spent a lot of energy on both offensive and defensive ends in the first half, and by the third quarter, the offensive efficiency had declined, and the performance of Durant and Wei Shao was the most obvious, and they had failed to score several consecutive shots.

However, Li Jie's performance is not far behind, he is also very iron, so iron that he is embarrassed to attack, and continues to pass the ball to his teammates.

I can only be Green tonight, and there is nothing to do with Poole.

No, Poole has been very tough lately, and Li Jie is doing about the same as him now.

"The two teams on the court are in an old-school NBA game, a fierce physical confrontation, and the main scorers on both sides are not very efficient offensively, but they are fighting for every offense, every wave of possession, and it's really exciting, who gets knocked down first?" Mike Brin lamented from the commentary bench.

……

The game went on to the second half of the fourth quarter in the rhythm of you hitting one iron and I hitting one iron.

At this point, the score on the court was 82:86, and the Lakers trailed by 4 points with 3 minutes and 35 minutes left before the end of the game.

At this critical moment, Li Jie took the lead in regaining his feel.

With the help of Bynum and Gasol's cover, he ran from the left side of the court along the baseline to near the bottom corner on the right side, and then received the ball and shot a three-pointer, directly pasting Durant's face as he came over.

85:86!

In this quarter, in order to crack the Thunder's trap tactics, Li Jie no longer holds the ball.

Jackson replaced Odom and let him hold the ball, Lee Jay played without the ball, and Bryant could also get the ball if necessary.

This attack is Li Jie's new attempt.

It seems that a certain switch was turned on at the same time, and after Li Jie scored, the feeling of the thunder double less also returned.

After Durant blocked and dismantled with Wei Shao, he suddenly held the ball and hit the basket, and hit a horse archery shot halfway through.

85:88!

After the ball was hit, he nodded at Li Jie, as if to say, "The game has just begun!" ”

Lakers offense.

After receiving the ball in the mid-range position, Li Jie rushed directly to the basket, and then distributed it to Gasol near the baseline, who shot in the middle of the shot, but unfortunately did not score.

After Wei Shao dribbled past half court, he did not get rid of Li Jie in two consecutive big changes at the top of the arc, and he could only pass to Ibaka on the inside.

But the ball was predicted by Gasol in advance, and the steal was regarded as making up for it.

In the fast break, Li Jie received the ball outside the three-point line on the left side, and a false dangling flew Wei Shaodian, and then dribbled two steps forward, stopped and shot, and hit.

87:88!

The Thunder still played the tactics of Wei Shao and Durant blocking and dismantling, and finally Durant burst to the basket and threw a shot.

It didn't go in, and the ball bounced twice on the basket before it fell. Bynum didn't grab it on his first jump, and it was too late when he jumped again, and the rebound was grabbed by Wei Shao, who rushed in from the outside.

It's still the Thunder's ball possession, or Durant's offense.

When he started his first step, he easily broke through Odom's defense and went to the basket.

This is the chain reaction, Li Jie was trapped, and the Lakers went to Odom, but his defense was not as good as Ci Shiping, and he was crossed by Durant like an early morning road.

There is no way, Li Jie can only go to make up for the defense, this pot is his after all, who made you unable to break the bag?

However, Durant didn't go hard, but passed the ball to Wei Shao on the outside.

In the vacant state, Wei Shao shot very resolutely, and the basket was also very face-saving, and with a bang, he hit a three-point shot.

87:91!

The difference is 4 points again, and there is 1 minute and 24 seconds left!

Jackson quickly called a timeout and then replaced Tzu Shiping, who decided to get the ball to Li Jie at the last minute.

As for how to solve the bag clamp, Li Jie can only watch it himself.

At the end of the timeout, the Lakers served the sideline ball, and they played a tactical match.

Ci Shiping served, the twin towers were covered, and Li Jie was the first to run over. The Thunder's players thought he was going to catch the ball and shoot, and Willis and Sefolosha immediately came to him.

But Li Jie was also a decoy, and after he took the defender away, Kobe Bryant easily received the ball at the top of the arc, and it was a big open position, and he made a three-point shot.

It's a pity that I didn't get in!

But the rebound was dialed out by Gasol for the first time, picked up by Ci Shiping, and he passed it to Kobe Bryant again.

After Kobe Bryant attracted the defense, he reciprocated by passing the ball to Li Jie.

Li Jie was on the left side of the court near the bottom corner, and he also came to a three-pointer, this time there was!

90:91!

“Bang! The ball went in, from the best duo of the Lakers, and finally Lee threw in a crucial three-pointer to chase the difference to just one point. With 1 minute and 10 seconds on the clock, they still had a chance to win. ”

Thunder offensive round.

After Harden dribbled past half court, in the face of Kobe's defense, he hesitated and didn't dare to break through, but still passed the ball to Wei Shao.

His outstanding performance today allowed him to stay on the pitch in the last moments, but he was still afraid to take the blame.

Wei Shao didn't have this burden, he gestured for his teammates to pull away, and wanted to single Li Jie.

He didn't rush with the ball, but pushed slowly and looked for the right moment. Li Jie also maintained a defensive state, slowly retreating, leaving no flaws for him.

After Wei Shao came to the free throw line, he made a few more tentations, and found that there was no chance to break through, so he could only lean back on the spot and shoot.

It's a pity that the technique of leaning back is not something he can grasp, and this ball directly comes to a three-no-stick.

However, the ball was picked up by Collison at the moment of going out of bounds, and he threw it back, and the ball flew to the top of the arc, and the players on both sides fought again.

In the end, Li Jie got it, and he immediately passed it to Kobe Bryant, who was about to go.

When Kobe Bryant got the ball, there was no one in front of him, he quickly hit the basket, dunked successfully, and also caused a foul on Harden who came over, 2+1!

"Buzz!" The ball blew up at Staples Arena in an instant.

What's more exciting than a last-minute goal scored by a star player from your side?

Bryant went to the free throw line and scored the ball steadily.

93:91!

The Thunder had to call a timeout to set up the next offense.
