NBA super point guard

It has to be said that Bynum's presence has made the Lakers' basket more stable.

The Lakers attacked and Farmar entered the frontcourt. Kobe didn't ask for the ball this time. Farmar passed directly to the inside. Bynum turned around and made a throw, and Ibaka took off without causing interference.

Looking back, Li Muhua hoisted the ball inside and started to run. Ibaka failed to find a chance and passed to the other side of the basket again. Durant moved to the outside. Li Muhua jumped and shot a three-pointer under the interference of Artest strike iron.

Bynum grabbed the defensive rebound and the Thunder lost their advantage at the basket.

No rebounding advantage means that the Thunder can't play a fast break.

To be honest, on the stage of the playoffs, the Thunder did not make any preparations, even including how to deal with the defending champion Lakers, without any formed tactical plan.

The lineup has a lot of flaws. Durant was directly rounded by the Lakers. After Kobe finished defending, Artest went up, and sometimes Bynum also went up to greet him.

At the end of the second quarter, the Thunder had fallen behind by 18 points. According to the past, this game can basically declare surrender.

The defense can't limit the Lakers' scoring, and the offense can't play tactical effects at all. This game is very uncomfortable.

Thunder locker room.

"LI, I can't play the offensive rhythm, what do you think?" Brooks came over and asked.

Li Muhua smiled bitterly: "Sir, there are many problems. The Lakers seem to understand our dislocation tactics very well. It is difficult to get open opportunities in every position. Besides, look at positions three and four." Li Muhua took the tactical board and placed Artest and Odom's location marked out.

Brooks fell into deep thought, and finally said before going on the court: "LI, you try to misplace Kevin in the pick-and-roll!"

Li Muhua nodded. Generally speaking, Durant is an existence outside of tactics, and it is easier to attract defense, thus opening up attack space for other players.However, from the game against the Mavericks, Brooks found that Li Muhua and Durant's pick-and-roll can play another change.

The third quarter starts soon.

The Thunder attacked, Durant came to the high pick-and-roll, Li Muhua broke through directly, Durant made an air cut from the middle and ran back again, Green received the ball from the wing, and made a mid-range shot.

Artest's help defense caused interference pressure.

The Lakers' defense is very targeted, and the defensive strength is similar in position. In this comparison, the Thunder's players cannot form a dislocation.

In the case of matchups, players mostly play on their personal abilities, commonly known as XJBD, and their cooperation poses little threat to the Lakers' lineup.

From the perspective of the lineup, Bynum has assisted defense, Jiasao has assisted defense, and Artest has assisted defense. As for Odom and Kobe, they have formed a tacit cooperation long ago, let alone.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder had fallen behind by 20 points.

The Thunder's bench fell into silence. Durant, Westbrook, and Green all covered their heads with towels, unable to accept such a loss. As for the other players, they all looked desperate.

Compared with the regular season, the Lakers' play style and defensive strategy are completely different. Durant's offensive efficiency at the basket is very low, and he can't find opportunities for air cuts. If he doesn't feel good, he may not be able to score 20+ points.

Both Durant and Green played three consecutive quarters, and their physical strength bottomed out. However, the team faced a very embarrassing situation. If they want to find the flaws in the Lakers' defense, they have to fight again.

"LI, we focus on the perimeter and need you to lead. Serge, you and Leonard will do a good job of defending the interior. We shrink the formation. Russell, you replace Jeff, and we play double point guards!"

Brooks once again made arrangements for the playing personnel, and Green also knew his physical condition and did not dispute the arrangement of playing time.

"Yes, sir!"

The players responded and played again.

The fourth quarter begins.

Westbrook took the ball into the frontcourt and did not choose to break through. Instead, he made a pick-and-roll with Li Muhua and passed the ball to Li Muhua.

Kobe and Fisher switched defenses and played against Li Muhua.

ESPN commentary box.

Buckley shook his head:
"Judging from the performance of the first three quarters, the Thunder did not play the offense they wanted after replacing LI!"

"Yes, the Thunder's offensive efficiency this season ranks sixth in the league, but the Lakers' defensive efficiency ranks second. To break through the Lakers' defense, the Thunder's offense needs to rise to another level. !” Kenny Smith commented.

After receiving the ball, Li Muhua did not stop, and after making a fake breakthrough, he quickly turned around and took a step back to shoot a three-pointer.

The shooting speed is very fast. Li Muhua made 4 of 1 shots before, but he didn't hesitate so much in the fourth quarter. The shot was very firm.

When Kobe jumped to block the shot, the basketball was already in the air.

"brush!"

A three-pointer was hit.

As the basketball went into the net, Li Muhua still maintained his shooting posture, ignored Kobe's death stare, and turned back to defend.

Lakers offense.

Kobe patted the ball and came directly to Li Muhua. According to Kobe's temper, the ball had to be singled out to find his way back.

Whether the Lakers win is definitely not a matter of Kobe taking fewer shots. It’s okay to fool the melon-eaters who don’t know the truth. Players in the league know that Kobe must not be allowed to shoot, otherwise it will be a disaster.

Kobe raised his eyebrows and patted the ball unhurriedly, waiting for Li Muhua to come up to defend.

Li Muhua stepped forward and grabbed Kobe's back.

At the top of the arc, Kobe has a lot of offensive options, he can directly break through, or turn around and make a jump shot. Li Muhua finds it very difficult.

Kobe made an emergency stop jumper after breaking through, and stayed in the air for a long time.

Li Muhua also jumped up afterwards, but it couldn't cause interference.

Jumper hit.

Kobe was very proud, he couldn't help raising his index finger and blew it when he retreated to defend, provoking Li Muhua's defense.

"How to play to find the weakness of the Lakers?" Li Muhua didn't pay attention to Kobe's provocation, but kept thinking again.

Li Muhua quickly handed the ball to Ibaka on the outside, the Thunder kicked off and Westbrook attacked with the ball.

The old fish Fisher mainly relied on experience to play again. Facing the absolute speed talent, he was powerless and could only watch Westbrook rushing into the paint.

Kobe also rushed inside, Westbrook threw the ball to Durant on the right wing outside, Durant did not stop the ball, but transferred it directly to Li Muhua outside the three-point line.

"This is the Lakers defensive loophole!"

Li Muhua took a deep breath, slowed down his whole body, easily lifted the ball past the old fish that was flying towards him, took another step to the side, took off, and quickly pressed his wrist to make a shot.

Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom!

"Shh!"

The basketball spun slowly and then fell rapidly, turning over the net flowers.

"This is my offensive rhythm!"
