Xu Feng was very helpless. Durant and Westbrook were two points, he could only match one, and he could let go of the other.

Other Lakers players can't limit these two at all.

In the regular season, the Lakers were able to beat the Thunder twice, mainly because of a surprise, and Durant and Westbrook underestimated the enemy.

Now that the Lakers have reached the second round, the Thunder began to focus on the Lakers.

By carefully watching the video, the Thunder already knew how to restrict Xu Feng.

On the offensive end, as long as there are more blooms, Xu Feng has nothing to do. After all, he is only one person, without avatar skills, it is okay to defend against one or two people, but it is impossible to defend against five people.

On the defensive end, sending two people to flank Xu Feng and let him play the ball, and then the other three actively defending can completely disrupt the Lakers' offense.

Without Bryant, the Lakers' offense wasn't a threat at all.

So as soon as the Thunder came up, the goal was very clear, starting from Westbrook.

It depends on whether Xu Feng wants to assist in the defense. If he assists in the defense, he will pass it to Durant. If he does not assist in the defense, Westbrook will attack the inside and cause damage.

This targeted tactic achieved miraculous results at the beginning.

Durant scored a three-pointer, and then the Lakers attacked.

Marshall dribbled the ball past halftime, Westbrook stepped forward to defend, and Marshall almost lost the ball.

He finally passed the ball to Xu Feng, but Ibaka and Durant double-teamed Xu Feng tightly, and Xu Feng had no chance to make a shot at all.

So Xu Feng had no choice but to pass the ball between the two of them, hitting the ground and passing it to Nick Young.

Nick Young was about to shoot, and Ibaka rushed over again.

This is the horror of Ibaka, he moves too fast and can go from one defense to five.

The Thunder can have this year's record, and Ibaka is absolutely indispensable on the defensive end.

Nick Young had no choice, the attack time was only more than 6 seconds left, he had to shake around a few times, and shot hastily.

Boom!
The basketball hit the left side of the rim, bounced off, and was hugged tightly by Adams.

The Thunder counterattacked, and Adams threw the ball to Westbrook who had already started.

Westbrook's speed is really too fast. After he received the ball, he was almost on the same level as Marshall.

But as soon as he accelerated, he surpassed Marshall by two positions, rushed to the Lakers penalty area, jumped directly from the free throw line, and dunked!

5: 0!

The Thunder gave the Lakers a blow from the very beginning.

The Ford Center arena is a blue ocean, and the crowd is passionate!
Lakers player Alexander at this time, today's game is not easy to play.

Xu Feng stretched out his hand to signal his teammates not to panic, and to fight well.

This time he didn't let Marshall hold the ball, but dribbled the ball across half court himself.

Just after halftime, the Thunder's Durant and Ibaka came over to double-team, Xu Feng made a quick pass and passed the ball to Gasol.

In this main lineup, Gasol can be regarded as the second ball-holding point.

Perkins stepped forward to withstand Gasol, firmly stuck position.

Although Gasol's work is very delicate, he is old and his feet are not moving so fast, so it is very uncomfortable to be held back by Perkins.

He dribbled the ball to the basket, chiseled a few times, but couldn't do it, so he had to pass the ball to Marshall.

Westbrook stepped forward and pressed, Marshall made a hasty shot, bang, hit the iron again.

Ibaka blocked Xu Feng tightly, Durant grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

After Westbrook received the ball in midfield, seeing that the Lakers returned to defense quickly, he did not rush to attack, but slowly dribbled the ball, waiting for his teammates to come over.

Durant suddenly started, came near the paint area, reached out for the ball, Xu Feng stepped forward to defend.

After receiving the ball, Durant didn't force it, because he knew how powerful Xu Feng was, and he couldn't stand Xu Feng, so he leaned on Xu Feng and passed the ball back to Westbrook.

This operation is not an invalid operation, but deliberately draws Xu Feng away, making him and Durant entangled.

After Westbrook took the ball, he made a big change of direction and hit the bottom line, and then made a high throw. Adams understood it, caught the ball and dunked, and scored another 2 points.

At the same time, the whistle sounded, and the referee blew Jordan Hill's thug foul.

Less than a minute and a half into the game, the Thunder took a 7:2 lead, and there was an additional penalty!

Lakers coach D'Antoni couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to call a timeout in advance.

During the timeout, D'Antoni looked at Xu Feng, hoping that he could say a few words.

Xu Feng also has no good solution. In the playoffs, the tactics of both sides are transparent. As long as others can't play, Xu Feng can only play like this.

Durant and Ibaka are flanking each other, and no one in the league can stand it.

In this case, unless the teammates can stand up and punish the opponent, the game can be broken.

For example, James, his personal ability is very strong, but he is rarely double-teamed, because the team that double-teamed him was severely punished and shot crazy by his teammates.

However, the rest of the Lakers were still suppressed in the four-on-three situation, which is the lack of overall strength.

As an old coach, D'Antoni certainly understands this. He only hopes that Xu Feng can inspire the morale of his teammates again.

How did he know that no matter how powerful Xu Feng is, it is impossible to motivate his teammates every time, it is the system that is helping.

Xu Feng didn't say much, he couldn't show dissatisfaction with his teammates, that would make the Lakers players even more frustrated.

So he simply shouted: "This is just the beginning, it doesn't matter, as long as we grit our teeth and throw that damn basketball in, it will come back naturally!"

Because in the first round, the Lakers reversed several times, so Xu Feng's encouragement gave the teammates some comfort.

Everyone cheered up, put their hands together, and encouraged each other loudly.

The timeout ends and the players from both teams reappear.

There were no substitutions on both sides, and the original team continued to fight. Just now Adams had a free throw.

Adams made a free throw, 8:0!

Fantastic start for the Thunder.

The Lakers attacked. This time after halftime, Marshall did not pass the ball to Xu Feng, but passed it directly to Nick Young.

At this time, Xu Feng deliberately stayed away from Nick Yang, and he hid near the bottom corner.

Durant and Ibaka continued to double-team Xu Feng. At this time, Ibaka was far away from Nick Young, and he couldn't help defend at all.

Nick Young took this opportunity and made a three-pointer!

In the absence of interference, Nick Young's heart is still very big, and the three-pointer hits the net!

8: 3!

The Lakers finally scored.

Nick Yang knew that it was Xu Feng's credit, so he transferred Ibaka away.

So after scoring the goal, Nick Young went up to give Xu Feng a high-five to celebrate.

After the Thunder team saw Xu Feng's changes, they also got together and discussed a few words in a low voice.

Seeing this, Xu Feng felt a little flustered. The Thunder reacted too quickly on the spot, and they might have come up with targeted tactics.

The Thunder attacked, Durant still attracted Xu Feng to his side, and then passed the ball to Westbrook.

Of course, the Lakers have also changed. Xu Feng stretched out two fingers, and Marshall and Nick Young immediately stepped forward to double-team!
