NBA super point guard

The Thunder attacked, Durant came to a high screen, Li Muhua misplaced Odom and quickly passed back, Durant made a jump shot.

The passing speed is very fast, Durant's shot timing is just right, and the basketball hits hollow.

Although the Lakers have increased their defensive strength, the Thunder's offense has not been disturbed too much and maintained a good touch. Instead, they played a [-]-[-].

The Lakers played more and more smoothly, taking advantage of the triangle tactics.

Farmar hit a three-pointer from the perimeter, Kobe Bryant scored two mid-range jumpers, Gasol scored one at the basket, and Odom hit three from close range.

The Lakers scored averagely.

Gasol came to the high screen from time to time and evacuated the basket. This result formed the performance of Odom at the basket. The core of tactics has changed from Kobe to Odom. The change in passing has made the Lakers There are more offensive tricks.

Li Muhua scored 4 points, with only three assists. The Lakers were very tight in the second and third defenses, and the Thunder had no chance to cut directly.

An impregnable defense.

The Lakers did not intentionally target breakthroughs. Li Muhua's layup level did not pose a threat to the Lakers. After entering the paint, another option was to break through and score the ball. In the state of zone defense, the Thunder could only rely on mid-range shots.

Li Muhua felt the difficulty of the game.

"LI, my timing is bad!"

Durant was very frustrated after a strike. The pass just now directly caused the core to be double-teamed. In this case, it is difficult for Durant to get a shot.

Li Muhua had no choice but to try his best to find open players.At the end of the first half, the Thunder had fallen behind by [-] points, and the gap had been widening.

The players were helpless, their heads drooping when they left the field.

Thunder locker room.

Kalamanda sat beside Li Muhua.

"LI, I believe you have also noticed that the Lakers are playing mid-range, but double-teaming in the low and high positions. We can only fight for the touch. When Kevin's physical strength declines, it will become more and more difficult to play!"

Kalamanda raised concerns, Li Muhua nodded.

After the pick-and-roll breakout, and then an air cut, the Thunder were tactically suppressed and couldn't find a chance to move. Li Muhua made four shots and only hit one goal. This kind of performance is very poor.

Harden wasn't much better either. He took five outside shots and all of them hit the iron. This has something to do with the Lakers' defensive strength.

Li Muhua's team usually focuses on series offense, and he seldom attacks. When the outside line is targeted, his mid-range and low-post scoring ability is actually very poor.

In the previous games, the main goal of each team was to defend the core, but the Lakers were different. The defensive pressure was evenly placed on each player, and the passing route was cut into fragments.

No one is so confused as to play with their weaknesses.

Thinking of this, Li Muhua looked at Westbrook, and Kalamanda directly suggested:
"Russell, you may need to be on the court with LI, we use the double backcourt to improve the movement of the ball!"

Westbrook responded immediately: "Yes, coach."

Since entering the playoffs, Westbrook's playing time has been restricted a lot, mainly because Li Muhua's passing function is not possessed by Westbrook, and, in terms of scoring, Westbrook mostly focuses on mid-range.

Brooks explained the tactical intention again, did not talk about defense, but let the players let go of their means to open the offensive end.

The third quarter begins.

Westbrook replaced Harden.

The Thunder kicked off, Westbrook dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, Li Muhua came to the low post, facing Lao Yu, Westbrook directly broke through without politeness.

Li Muhua quickly ran to the outside and received a pass from Westbrook.

Odom came out of the defense, fast, tall and strong, Li Muhua did not have a chance to break through, Durant came from the middle to the outside, and Li Muhua quickly passed.

Durant didn't shoot directly, and when Odom assisted in the defense, he passed to the low post again.

Westbrook turned around from the baseline and scored a layup.

The ball was running so fast that Bynum had no time to defend.

Westbrook went to play the low post. This is also a change in Brooks' tactics.

These few times of conduction, instead, they found opportunities under the basket, and the teammates clapped each other to celebrate.

Li Muhua has always felt that Westbrook is a sucker, and his shooting percentage has always hovered around [-]%. When the team has no choice, he can only look at Westbrook's performance at present.

Westbrook's ability to finish at the basket is very strong, and the weakness of mid-range zombie jumps does not exist.

The first position to play the fifth position, Brooks' tactical intentions are very bold.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe played singles with the ball, the players all opened up space, took off in front of Durant, stretched their bodies in the air, beautiful shooting movements, picturesque posture, and hit the iron directly.

Bynum stuck, Gasol grabbed the rebound, turned around and hit a hook.

Let the Lakers easily get a second offensive opportunity, and the Thunder are also helpless.

At this time, you can see Durant's role, strong ability to protect the frame, is the guarantee of the Thunder's basket, but when Durant made a shot, the Thunder were embarrassed and lost the rebound.

The Thunder attacked. Li Muhua and Westbrook crossed positions. Durant took the ball and beat Odom. After attracting double-teams, he passed it to Li Muhua.

The Lakers stood three people under the basket, and Westbrook couldn't squeeze in at all.

The timing of Westbrook's shot was not good, but there was no way. The Lakers kept a tight eye on them, defending under the basket, and kept compressing the defensive space.

Li Muhua shook his head, the flaws of the Thunder team's basket were infinitely magnified.

The Lakers did not play a fast break after getting the rebound. Instead, Lao Yu slowly dribbled the ball and fought in a positional battle again.

Odom broke through Westbrook with the ball in a high position and passed it to the outside. Kobe made another shot, still hitting the iron, and Durant grabbed the rebound.

In the third quarter, all the players' physical strength was exhausted to varying degrees. In this case, the feeling of competition is one aspect, and the rest is to widen the gap.

Hitting the iron again and again can only be said to consume a lot of offense and defense.

The Lakers didn't play in a hurry, leading by a big score, reducing the pace of the game, and grinding the Thunder to death through positional warfare.

Fisher shot directly from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Li Muhua was annoyed, this was his own defensive mistake, he thought that Fisher, the old fish, would pass the ball, so he made an empty shot, but unexpectedly, Fisher was not lenient at all.

Fisher generally doesn't shoot, but it doesn't mean that Lao Yu is incapable. At critical moments, Fisher's three-pointers are of a high level.
