NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

However, the Lakers did not increase their strength, and both sides are in the trial stage.

At 5 minutes and 31 seconds into the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 14:12. The Thunder led by 2 points and entered an official timeout.

Xu Feng understood Thunderclap's intention today, which was to try to avoid Xu Feng's defensive range.

In other words, if Xu Feng is on the left, then quickly transfer the ball to the right.

Westbrook and Durant played one left and one right, and they played alternately.

The strategy worked, and the Thunder's offense was almost complete.

The offense of the Lakers is also very sharp. Xu Feng and Kobe feel hot and can basically win.

The next step is to see whose defense can play a role faster and limit the opponent's offense.

Playing in the playoffs is all about defense and quick adaptability.

The other is whether your weaknesses can be hidden.

If there is a weakness caught, it will be caught and beaten to death!
Therefore, the playoffs are very cruel.

After the timeout ended, the Lakers' defense made changes.

That is, on the side where Xu Feng is, the Lakers can have one less player, and the other Lakers can go to the far side.

The meaning is to let Xu Feng take charge of one side and others take charge of the other side.

Didn't Lei Ting stay away from Xu Feng on purpose?Well, let the other Lakers players guard you, leaving Xu Feng free.

That is to say, there will be such a weird lineup in the playoffs. Thunder coach Donovan is dumbfounded, can he still play like this?

Now, the Thunder will face a choice.

The Thunder attacked and Durant took the ball away from Xu Feng, but Kobe and Tucker went up to double-team him.

No way, the Lakers players crowded to his side.

If Durant doesn't want to be double-teamed, he has to pass the ball to Xu Feng's side, then Xu Feng's defensive area is too large, and Westbrook is not easy to play.

In desperation, Durant had to make a hasty shot.

Boom!
The basketball bounced out of the basket, and McGee grabbed the rebound and passed it to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng launched a fast break, Westbrook had no choice but to hold Xu Feng, a tactical foul!

The Lakers fell into a positional battle, Xu Feng took the ball from the waist again, and Ibaka defended alone.

But this time Durant came to Xu Feng's side, waiting for an opportunity to double-team.

Xu Feng caught a glimpse of Tucker in the bottom corner and immediately passed the ball.

After Tucker received the ball, he shot the ball calmly. Durant wanted to pounce, but it was too late because he was closer to Xu Feng just now.

brush!
Three point shot!

The Lakers scored another three points.

Xu Feng is too strong, he can play alone, and he can also find the open space of his teammates, and his passing is different from others, basically in an unimaginable way of passing.

For example, the ball just now was passed from Ibaka's crotch. It was unpredictable, and it was difficult to steal the ball.

Ibaka's face was livid with anger, but he was helpless.

After the Lakers changed their defensive strategy, Durant misfired, and Westbrook made a few two-pointers in front of him.

The point difference between the two teams began to widen. At 9 minutes and 52 seconds into the first quarter, the Lakers led by 8 points.

Coach Donovan had no choice but to call a timeout and was about to put on a substitute.

This season's Thunder, the bench is also very strong, Kanter, Augustin, Waiters, Morrow, Schindler, Collison, all have strength.

In the duel between the two substitutes, the Thunder had a slight advantage, especially Waiters, whose powerful offense caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers' substitutes.

第二节战至4分33秒，双方比分38：33，湖人领先5分。

The two sides replaced the main players again for the first half match.

The Thunder's tactics changed again, this time they were no longer far away from Xu Feng's offense.

Instead, Ibaka and Robertson were sent to block Xu Feng and prevent Xu Feng from assisting in the defense.

Although this method is quite stupid, to put it bluntly, it is a bet that other Lakers players will not be able to defend.

But the Lakers are no longer the big team they were two years ago. Even if Xu Feng is hugged, other players can stand up and punish the opponent.

Sure enough, after Xu Feng was blocked, Kobe, Livingston, and Tucker still defended well.

And McGee used his excellent athletic ability to do a good job of protecting the frame.

But Lei Ting spent two people beside Xu Feng, and the other three were simply too busy, and Durant was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 53:42, and the Lakers led by 11 points.

Although Durant scored 18 points in the first half and was very efficient, Westbrook also had 16 points, but the Thunder's other starters were restricted.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, although Xu Feng only had 16 points and Kobe Bryant had 13 points, the others scored not too low. Tucker had 9 points, McGee had 8 points, and Lin Shuhao had 6 points.

The Lakers are in full bloom, and the Thunder can only rely on the double play.

……

In the Tengxun Sports live broadcast room, Su Qun and Ke Fan commented on the game, and Mina is today's female guest.

Su Qun is still very optimistic about Xu Feng. When he was explaining, he kept praising Xu Feng.

"Xu Feng deserves to be the MVP of the regular season for two consecutive times. His dominance on the court is really strong!" Seeing Xu Feng's performance, Su Qun was full of admiration.

Mina asked curiously: "Teacher Su Qun, but his score is not as high as Durant's!"

Ke Fan explained with a smile: "You can't just look at the score. Durant has 4 more shots than Xu Feng, and on the defensive end, Xu Feng is more effective. Besides, Xu Feng has 3 more shots than Durant. Assists."

Su Qun nodded and said: "That's right, Xu Feng's dominance on the defensive end is the strongest I've seen in recent years, and looking further, it's Howard who has three DPOYs in a row, and the big Ben who lives in SAI. "

Ke Fan agrees with Su Qun's statement: "Yes, and Xu Feng's defense is especially suitable for the current era of small ball. The area is too big!"

Mina asked again: "Who is better in defense, Xu Feng or James?"

Neither Su Qun nor Ke Fan spoke. Obviously, they didn't want to step on James in the live broadcast room, because James had a lot of fans.

And James' defense is also good, not much worse than Xu Feng.

Su Qun said tactfully: "The two have their own strengths and weaknesses. James is very effective in defending the 1th position alone, while Xu Feng can defend from the [-]st to the [-]th position, which is excellent in defense."

People who know football can already tell from his words that Xu Feng is better.

Ke Fan changed the subject and said, "Durant's inefficiency today has something to do with Xu Feng's defense?"

Su Qun nodded and said: "Look at it this way. Although Xu Feng didn't defend Durant alone, Durant deliberately stayed away from Xu Feng. He avoided Xu Feng to fight. But the overall defensive discipline of the Lakers is too good. Everyone else was going to double-team Durant, so he still had a hard time."

Ke Fan and Mina suddenly realized that they didn't see this level of tactics just now.

"Teacher Su Qun, does the Thunder have a better way to deal with Xu Feng's defense?"
