The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 262 Ending the Mamba
Chapter 262 Ending the Mamba ([-]D Chapter)
For the vast majority of fans, whenever the team has new players, they always have great expectations!
Even if the player who joins is only a second-round pick, as long as he joins certain teams, the attention will double immediately, and some team fans will not allow others to speak ill of the team at all.
In short, as long as a certain team is interested in it, it must be buried gold. As for other teams not using it, it is your players and coaches who have problems.
After the end of G1 in the Western Conference semifinals between the Thunder and the Lakers, some Lakers fans broke their defenses. Isn't Ramon Sessions a defensive champion?Why is Crouching Tiger's outside line still broken into a sieve?
The most important thing is why Ramon Sessions scored 7 of 1 and only scored 2 points. This performance is not even as good as the old fisher Fisher before!
In order to strengthen the team this season, the Lakers traded Fisher Fisher to the Rockets before the trade deadline in exchange for Jordan Hill.
However, Fisher was not interested in playing in Houston, and finally reached a buyout agreement with the Rockets.
And the Thunder has Li Ze, and they won the championship last year, so naturally they will not consider this 37-year-old veteran. Veteran experience?The coaching staff of the Thunder believe in the strength of the golden thigh!
Therefore, Fisher is currently unemployed, but considering his age of 37, direct retirement is also a good choice.
On the other side of the ocean, the majority of Komi players were broken by the Thunder. In the Western Conference semifinals, they were beaten by 33 points. This shows that the two teams are not on the same level at all.
Coupled with the fact that Kobe scored 18 of 7 and only scored 20 points, both offensive and defensive ends were completely suppressed by Li Ze. As long as the fans watched the game, they would obviously find that Li Ze had Kobe in a tight grip.
In this case, after the game, the Hupu forum basically turned into Zepu. Except for Kemi, who is a dead duck with a hard mouth, the rest are all bragging about Li Ze:
"This is the strength of the second consecutive MVP. Li Ze is already thinking about his opponent in the Western Conference Finals. Kobe? He's just an outdated star."
"Kobe can't even make crazy shots this time. He doesn't allow him physically! The Lakers should rebuild quickly and take Kobe as the core. I'm afraid they won't even be able to make it to the playoffs in the future."
"The Thunder's three young masters X! Li Ze 33 points, Durant 29 points, Westbrook 24 points, Ramon Sessions is simply a joke, and Comey blows it every day, the playoffs are showing their original shape, right? Killing me!"
"The Lakers lost, and the volute didn't lose. With this lineup, Jordan couldn't do it. Gasol played too softly. Sessions was a parallel importer. The volute took 18 shots. Obviously, it was his teammates in the CBA. lost."
"If it doesn't work, let's sign Fisher back. Anyway, I can't guard against it. Lao Yu can still throw a few three-pointers."
"At the beginning I hated Fisher, but then I hated Sessions after losing the game. The responsibility is all the role players. Comey is stubborn. The core players have been blown up. If you leave the role players alone, how can you put the blame on the players? Li Ze is locked up!"
"If Kobe had this ability, he wouldn't have been swept away last year. There are only a bunch of lakers who are still fantasizing about it. Li Ze is not yet 22 years old. Let's recognize the reality as soon as possible. In the future, we will basically be abused once."
"."
Of course, there are still many Kobes who firmly believe that Kobe will bottom out and rebound. America’s ball critics are also talking nonsense for the sake of traffic. O’Neill even praised Kobe’s G1 performance in the TNT program:
"I believe in Kobe. After the first round, he only rested for one day. Kobe played very well in G1. Although his body was not in the best condition, he still scored 20 points efficiently!"
Although Charles Barkley wanted to laugh, but for the sake of the program effect, he also opened his eyes and told nonsense, facing the camera and said solemnly:
"Once the Lakers' twin towers recover, slow down the pace of the game, and increase physical confrontation, the Thunder will be unable to defend inside. Perkins can't limit Bynum at all. I am optimistic about the performance of the Lakers in G2."
On the other side, Kenny Smith and the host Ernie Johnson couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing the serious nonsense of the two, they almost laughed out loud in the show:
"Can the Lakers limit the Thunder's perimeter?"
"I even think Kayce didn't exert his strength at all. He scored 33 points in three quarters and missed a minute in the fourth quarter. Imagine what would happen if Kayce played more than 4 minutes!"
O'Neill and Charles Barkley heard such questions, of course they would not answer, what would happen?Perhaps the point difference will directly break through 58 points.
In another game on the night of the 15th, there was a big upset. At 78:75, the Pacers defeated the Heat in an away game and tied the series to 1:1.
After the previous G1 game, the media reporters in Amerika praised LeBron James' performance, 26 of 12, 32 points and 15 rebounds. LeBron James seemed to be unstoppable.
As a result, tonight's game ended, and the fools immediately changed their tone, and began to praise the Pacers' defense, and almost blew Hibbert into the sky.
However, considering Chris Bosh's truce due to injury, some critics also helped the Heat find an excuse in advance.
However, the Heat only scored 3 points in the third quarter of this game. Reminiscent of their performance in last year's finals, many critics are cautiously optimistic about the Big Three.
On May 5th, the Spurs, who played at home that night, easily defeated the Grizzlies again, 16:92. Tim Duncan made 108 of 20 and easily scored a double-double of 12 points and 26 rebounds. Dorff simply can't contain the veteran
After the game ended, the big score of the series also came to 2:0, which also made the media reporters of America began to sing praises for Popovich. The season was shortened, and the old Spurs actually played a dominant role. It's amazing!
In the other Eastern Conference semifinals, the away Celtics seemed to have finally found their form. They defeated the 107ers in an away game 91:76, regained the initiative, and rewritten the big score of the series to 2:1.
After seeing the Celtics lose in G2, they seemed to wake up. The media reporters in Amelia were overjoyed. If there is another Big Three battle in the Eastern Conference Finals, no matter what the result is, the topic will definitely be full!
On the night of the 17th, G2 between the Thunder and the Lakers attracted much attention, and many fans were looking forward to Kobe's response during the game.
Head coach Mike Brown completely gave up the idea of attacking and attacking for his coaching career that night. Since the start of the game, the offensive rhythm has been slowed down, and the defensive end has been actively confronted, preventing the Thunder from easily switching opportunities .
But unfortunately at the end of the half, at 45:56, the Thunder still had an 11-point lead.
In the commentary seat of TNT, Steve Kerr looked at the technical statistics in his hands and said helplessly:
"The Lakers' game plan is very adequate, but there are still problems with the defense of the core players. Perhaps it is a wrong choice to continue to let Kobe defend Kayce. He made 11 of 4 in the half and scored 10 points. Kobe's offensive performance affected."
Reggie Miller was still Li Zechui, casually glanced at the technical statistics in his hand, and said briskly:
"It's somewhat similar to the game in G1. Although the Lakers have increased confrontation, sending Kayce to the free throw line is definitely not a good defensive choice!"
"11 of 6 in the half, including 2 of 1 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. Facing the strict defense of the Lakers, Kayce still easily scored 19 points. Coach Mike Brown should consider giving Matt Barnes More playing time."
Unlike the last game, although the two analyzed it, they never mentioned the Lakers' strong rebound in the second half. The commentator Kevin Harlan brought the topic to the best lineup:
"The best team of the season is about to be released, but many critics are calling for Chris Paul to enter the first team. In this way, Kobe may lose his first team position. What do you two think about this matter?"
When Steve Kerr heard about this topic, his head suddenly became dizzy. The Los Angeles media had already started a civil war, and many people were supporting Chris Paul. Faced with such a controversial topic, Steve Kerr could only Say good things:
"Kobe and Paul are both very good players. No matter who is selected for the first team in the end, they all deserve their names!"
"I totally agree with Steve, both of them have played very well this season!"
"."
After the start of the second half, the two teams returned to their starting lineups again. The Thunder took the lead in attacking. In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Oklahoma City fans who were in a good mood once again shouted passionately:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
After halftime, Guigui saw that the Lakers were still man-to-man, so he immediately made an offensive gesture.
Kobe noticed that Li Ze started turning his back to ask for the ball again, and at the same time the other Thunder players cleared the side, couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitching, and singled him again?
Ever since Li Ze asked for the ball with his back, Kobe kept half-circling forward to defend. The two began to pull each other near the baseline, and they were tearing apart. In addition, the referee relaxed some standards in this game, which also made the two The action is getting bigger and bigger.
When Li Ze came to the left block position, Guigui immediately sent a high-throw pass. Li Ze jumped up to catch the ball, turned around after landing, and attacked face-to-face. After three threats, he took a big step with his right foot, put the ball with his left hand, and went to the baseline Directional cross step breakthrough.
Kobe looked ferocious, constantly putting pressure on the defense at his side, and at the same time strictly guarded against going offline.
When he broke through to the bottom line, Kobe felt that his defense was working. Seeing that Li Ze slowed down his breakthrough, moved away from the basket, and switched to his right hand, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.
In the next second, seeing Li Ze suddenly turn his head, Kobe was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, he had completely lost his defensive position.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw Li Ze suddenly dribble the ball behind his back with his right hand near the baseline, and then turned around. Kobe's defense was gone, and they immediately shouted excitedly.
Li Ze successfully shook Kobe away by turning his head and moving his body. After holding the ball in his left hand, he easily broke through the bottom line and made a layup!
"Wonderful goal! Terrifying physical coordination, a two-meter player makes the movements of a small defender, it is unbelievable that Kayce is not yet 22 years old!"
Steve Kerr felt the atmosphere that was about to explode, and shouted in the same tone of excitement.
Kobe was really pissed off this time, Li Ze's juggling moves are simply a humiliation to him!
In the offensive round of the Lakers, Kobe also turned his back to ask for the ball in the right block. As a result, Li Ze's half-circling defense couldn't catch the ball at all. In desperation, he had to go beyond the three-point line.
The two just had a fight, which directly consumed half of the Lakers' offensive time. When Kobe received the ball from outside the three-point line, Gasol quickly went up the line to screen for a pick-and-roll.
Kobe, who is holding the ball in his left hand, used the cover to get rid of Li Ze's entanglement with difficulty. Noticing that Ibaka seemed to give up his three-point defense, Kobe immediately stopped and shot a jumper at the top of the arc outside the three-point line!
"Bang!" Angrily strike!
Perkins slammed Bynum in the paint and didn't give the opponent a chance to take off easily. After the rebound popped up, Ibaka finally successfully received the backcourt rebound, and everyone in the Lakers retreated immediately.
Li Ze made an offensive gesture, indicating that there is no need to worry, and he will play the same tactic again, but Kobe saw that Li Ze was going to catch the ball in a low position and single him, and his defensive actions were even rougher.
It's a pity that even pulling and pulling didn't work at all. Li Ze, who was in the left block position, easily received the pass from the turtle again, and then released the ball with his right hand. Quickly bang bang bang twice.
Kobe's chest felt tight after being hit, and he found himself being pushed into the paint again. He quickly controlled his body and saw Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly shake his shoulders. He couldn't judge how Li Ze would attack.
Taking advantage of the moment when Kobe defended in a daze, Li Ze immediately turned with his left foot as the axis, turned in the offline direction, and threw a shot with his left hand. Kobe was firmly stuck by Li Ze's body, and subconsciously took off to block the shot.
"squeak!"
"Boom!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in. Although Li Ze was hit on the arm, Li Ze's high rebound was not affected in any way. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw Kobe fouling again, and immediately screamed excitedly.
Li Ze and his teammates finished the high-five celebration, stood on the free throw line, noticed that Kobe had used the death gaze again, and immediately said with a chuckle:
"You should double-team me! Otherwise, I will definitely blow up the player who is facing me!"
"Be respectful! Boy, the game is not over yet!"
Artest immediately choked back, but when Li Ze turned his head and ignored him, he was almost blown away. Li Ze took the ball from the referee, curled his lips at Artest, and then calmed down. penalty.
Of course Artest understands the message from Li Ze, "I'm the MVP, who the hell is that?" This feeling of contempt made Artest start to go berserk, and completely let go of his movements when defending Durant. .
In the next few rounds, Durant was also very angry. It was Li Ze who taunted Artest, but the opponent attacked him. Isn't this just bullying?
The anger between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, the referee began to blow the whistle frequently, and the rhythm of the game became fragmented, but the Oklahoma City fans on the scene became more and more excited.
The coach Mike Brown on the sidelines could only yell at this time and act as an atmosphere group, especially seeing that the point difference was still expanding, which made him dare not replace the substitute players at all.
The main lineups of the two sides played almost the entire third quarter. The Lakers' slowing down was indeed effective, but the defensive end was exhausted, and the offense began to stretch their hips. The final single quarter was 3:18.
After three quarters, at 63:80, the Lakers have fallen behind by 17 points.
In the last quarter of the game, although the head coach Mike Brown wanted to admit defeat directly, seeing Kobe insisting on playing, he could only send out the main lineup again.
The head coach Brooks carried out a rotation of inside players. Perkins couldn't stand it anymore, and Collison came off the bench.
The Lakers took the lead in attacking and noticed that the Thunder's defense had become a 23-zone defense. Gasol came to the free throw line to catch the ball, and then passed it quickly from the outside. After the pass, quickly shoot the jump shot!
"Bang!" Another strike!
Hearing the loud cheers erupting from the scene, Reggie Miller in the commentary first looked at the technical statistics, then shook his head and said:
"Currently the Lakers are 11-for-1 from the perimeter. The Thunder's choice of zone defense at this time is the right choice. Kobe needs to stand up and score. With a 17-point difference, the Lakers have no way out."
After the long rebound was picked up by Durant, the Thunder immediately launched a transition attack and gave it to Turtle immediately. The latter caught the ball and accelerated in a straight line. The three-quarter game did not cause Turtle's physical problems. At this time Still full of energy.
Ramon Sessions really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to foul early in desperation.
"Shh!"
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were immediately unhappy, and boos broke out again. Seeing that the tortoise was a little bit up, Li Ze clapped his hands quickly, signaling everyone to calm down. With a 17-point difference, don't follow the rhythm of the Lakers.
Noticing that Kobe was sweating all the time, Li Ze smiled in his heart, and while serving the frontcourt, he made an offensive gesture, indicating that he was going to play off the ball.
Durant came to his spirits at this time. In the third quarter, he played off the ball most of the time, which saved a lot of energy. Therefore, in the fourth quarter, the Thunder began to hand-to-hand from outside the three-point line. , Durant broke out completely.
At the top of the arc, he received a hand-off pass from Li Ze. Artest, who was chasing after him, was hung up by Li Ze, and Kobe had no choice but to switch defenses.
Durant's offense was extremely simple and rough. He accelerated directly with the ball in his right hand, dribbled the ball behind his back suddenly at the free throw line, ignored Kobe's block, and shot a mid-range jumper!
"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance!
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene continued to cheer loudly, but Kobe saw that the point difference was about to reach 20 points, and asked for the ball again after halftime, Li Ze turned on the [Enter Rhythm] Buff and entered the focus mode.
Kobe soon discovered that Li Ze's defensive aggression was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't make a face-to-face single.
Kobe, whose physical fitness has declined, feels that he can't get rid of Li Ze's entanglement at all. Seeing that the attack time will be 24 seconds, and finally resisting Li Ze's block, the position of the left block drifts and a fallback jumper is shot!
"Bang!" Keep hitting the iron!
[Perpetual Motion Defender] + [Marking Master] + [Bronze Wall] + [Death Coil] + [Defensive Deterrence] combined bonus, combined with [Entering the Rhythm], makes Li Ze's defense airtight, as if changed Became a defensive specialist who has been in the league for 10 years
Everyone on the Lakers saw that the long rebound was accepted by the Thunder, and immediately retreated quickly. As a result, the Thunder's offense, five people mentioned the line again, and the three-person team interspersed back and forth, which completely paralyzed the big men of the Lakers.
This time Durant received the ball from the left flank outside the three-point line, pretending to pass the ball to Li Ze. At the moment when the two were about to touch, he suddenly accelerated with the ball, easily dodged Artest's defense, and broke through. Going inside, causing Gasol to foul and get two free throw opportunities.
"The game has no suspense. The Lakers seem to be in a scoring drought again. Kayce's defense against Kobe is really good. I really can't think of how Mike Brown should solve this problem."
Steve Kerr in the commentary booth no longer estimated the feelings of the Lakers fans, and told the truth.
In the next three minutes or so, Kobe continued to hit the iron in addition to the iron. The Black Mamba seemed to be completely on top.
This time, the Thunder fought with Artest again, and the Thunder launched a transition attack again. Turtle quickly made the ball, and Li Ze received the ball from the right wing outside the three-point line. No one was marking, and a long-range three-pointer made a quick jumper. shot!
"That's good! Kayce from downtown!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan was still full of passion. Seeing Li Ze hit a conversion three-pointer, he shouted excitedly again. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene had already begun to celebrate the victory of the game. Seeing that the Lakers had not given up on the game, continue Crazy shout:
"Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!"
Kobe seemed a little unbelievable. After half a quarter of the fourth quarter, the Lakers only scored 4 points. At this time, Kobe looked stern. Facing Li Ze's defense, the position of the right block drifted and a fallback jumper was shot!
"Oh!"
In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, huge cheers broke out again, and Kobe hit the iron again!And this round the Lakers' defense completely collapsed. Turtle received the ball from the backcourt, accelerated in a straight line, and finally succeeded in a one-stop layup.
After scoring the goal, the tortoise screamed excitedly, thumped his chest at the camera under the basket, and the head coach Mike Brown on the sidelines immediately requested a timeout.
After the short timeout ended, Coach Brooks found that the Lakers were still in the starting lineup. He felt a little helpless, and the main force of the Thunder was forced to open again.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Oklahoma City fans at the scene were going crazy with joy. The Lakers were still so strong. In the commentary booth of TNT, the three looked at each other. This scene is really rare.
With 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the game, coach Mike Brown finally replaced Kobe, and the Thunder immediately replaced the main lineup. In the last few tens of seconds, the atmosphere group threw two The ball, and time runs out.
In the end, 75:104, the Thunder at home beat the Lakers again, and the series scored 2:0!
After Kobe finished in the fourth quarter, he returned directly to the locker room. In the last quarter, the Lakers scored 4 points in a single quarter, which completely broke Kobe's defense. Lost too much
李泽倒是很喜欢湖人队的坚持，42分钟的出场时间，数据也变得好看不少，21中11，其中三分球4中2，罚球12中11，拿到全场最高的35分6篮板4助攻1抢断2失误。
"After this game, the boring commentators should admit that the Lakers are not good! Every time I see everyone talking nonsense on TV, I want to start my own radio station."
After winning the game, Durant was in a good mood. Although he only scored 30 points, his efficiency was finally higher than that of Li Zeyi. For this, Durant Lemon was very pleased, and he was very happy when he complained
"It's because they are always talking nonsense, so I rarely pay attention to the sports media. It takes a lot of money to start a radio station!"
Turtle, who scored another 24 points in this game, kept waving to the fans on the sidelines. He couldn't help complaining when he heard Durant's words. Li Ze didn't expect Durant to have such an idea, so jokingly said:
"The cost of the radio station is too high. If you want to play, you can consider a personal podcast. Youtube is a good platform. We can take turns being the host. Anyway, it's nonsense. The fans will definitely like it!"
Durant, who was walking towards the player tunnel, was stunned when he heard Li Ze's words, and then shouted in ecstasy:
"God! Kayce! You're a genius! I love a show like this, tweeting in video, wow! I can say whatever I want on my show!"
"."
On the night of May 5th, the traffic was directly full, and the Eastern Conference semifinals were held simultaneously. At 17:75, the Pacers beat the Heat at home.
Wade was in a sluggish state, 13 of 2, only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds, and what was even more fatal was that there were 5 turnovers, and the old problem of the Heat appeared again. In the third quarter, he scored 3 points in a single quarter. power off.
The media reporters in America were ecstatic. The Lakers scored 12 points in a single quarter, and the Heat also scored 12 points in a single quarter. Kobe scored 25 of 9 points and scored 20 points. Wade scored 13 of 2 points and scored 5 points. The topic of these two days All out!
On the 18th, TNT and ESPN began to bad-mouth the Lakers and the Heat. As excellent folly, experts and critics from all walks of life expressed their opinions one after another. A brief summary is:
"Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is dead, and the Big Three of the Heat are stretching their hips."
The topic was too hot, which caused the attention of the game to drop a lot that night. The Grizzlies returned to the home court and finally pulled back a victory. 96:99, relying on Michael Conley's magical performance at the last moment, the Grizzlies lore The Spurs.
Another Eastern Conference semifinal, 83:92, the 76ers at home stubbornly tied the big score to 2:2, but for the battle of Tianwangshan, most critics are still optimistic about the Celtics, the experience of the Big Three It is indeed too rich!
However, the hottest topic of the night fell on Durant. On April 4, "The Avengers" premiered. Throughout May, the movie became a huge hit.
Scarlett Johansson was named the 5th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 2nd.
Perhaps because Scarlett is too beautiful, coupled with the fact that the goddess has been appearing frequently on TV shows recently, Durant finally couldn't bear the longing in his heart when he was about to go to Los Angeles, and openly confessed on Twitter:
“Scarlett Johansson I will drink our bath Water”
As soon as this tweet was posted, various sports media were the first to discover it, and then everyone almost burst into joy!
Durant has won the championship and has a big contract, so he would post such a dog-licking tweet, which is completely inconsistent with the personality of a superstar. Look at Kobe’s Twitter, which is full of Nike advertisements. It is said that Kobe himself don't play these apps at all
There is no distinction between style and style, and various media outlets appeared on the stage that night, frantically discussing Durant's dog-licking behavior.
When flying to Los Angeles on the morning of the 19th, as soon as Durant boarded the plane, he found his teammates looking at him strangely, immediately shrugged helplessly, and said casually:
"I drank some wine last night. As you know, I have two twitter accounts, but I accidentally posted them on the tuba! I posted them all, and I didn't bother to delete them."
When Li Ze saw this tweet last night, he felt a little powerless to complain. He thought that because of his arrival, everyone often played ball together, and Durant should give up missing the goddess. Never forget.
"That's fine, maybe Scarlett will respond to me in a few days, I have two big contracts, and I can fully afford the life of a Hollywood actress!"
During the journey, when he heard that Durant was still imagining a bright future, Li Ze's expression became more and more strange. At this time, he really wanted to shout:
"Lick to the end and get nothing!"
The tight playoff schedule leaves the Lakers with little time to rest. After returning to Los Angeles, head coach Mike Brown has been completely insomnia for the past two days. If the big score comes to 3:0, then everything will be over .
Not only is the Lakers' journey this season over, but his coaching career with the Lakers will also be completely over.
Losing two games in a row, the fans of the Lakers have already started to scold the head coach. Once this season is really swept out, Mike Brown thinks that next season he will be the first head coach to be dismissed in the league.
On the night of the 19th, the Staples Arena was packed, and the tickets in the front row were booked by stars, big and small. Every time it came to the playoffs, stars from all walks of life would come to the arena as long as they were free. heat.
In the locker room of the home team, Kobe returned to his seat after warming up and didn’t say a word. Others didn’t dare to say anything when they saw the boss’s appearance. Everyone knew that Kobe really broke the defense in the first two games up.
Coach Mike Brown entered the locker room and felt the atmosphere was a little dull. He immediately put on a confident look and said loudly:
"Guys, this is our home court. In tonight's game, we need to hit the ball more inside, and we must be aggressive on the defensive end. Make good use of the home court advantage. When the offense cannot be opened, try to stand up At the free throw line."
"Forget the first two games, protect our home court, the series has just begun, trust each other, we are tired!"
Coach Mike Brown began to send out thick chicken soup, and everyone in the Lakers reacted to the coach's words. It is normal to lose away games. Seeing that everyone regained their confidence, Coach Mike Brown was completely relieved.
In the game that night, the Thunder did not have any psychological burden. In addition, they had rested for nearly a week before, and their physical condition was good, and the main lineup all played normally.
At the end of the half, at 54:50, the Thunder entered the second half with a 4-point lead.
Although Kobe made 9 of 3 in the half, he made 7 free throws and scored 13 points in the half. The Lakers fans at the scene were still very satisfied with Kobe's performance.
During the intermission, Li Ze was a little dissatisfied with the referee's call scale in the first half. In the two quarters, he was called for three fouls and only got two free throws. The whistle was a bit off.
10 of 6, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover. Li Ze saw the technical statistics in his hand and couldn't complain. Kobe took 4 free throws on him.
"This is the home whistle of the Lakers. Although I understand the league's approach, I hate this whistle scale."
Durant complained when he returned to the locker room. At this time, coach Brooks knocked on the whiteboard. Seeing the players looking at him, he immediately said:
"Play smarter in the second half, don't argue with the referee, that's my job, well, I will also control my emotions, I already got a T in the half, I don't want to be sent off."
Everyone in the Thunder team burst into laughter. Li Ze's third foul made Coach Brooks furious. He yelled at the referee continuously on the spot and finally allowed Kobe to get a free throw.
"Pick-and-roll offense, show our true skills. Tonight we will use shooting to solve the Lakers. Don't worry about the opponent's transition offense. The opponent is not the Heat. We will end the game in the third quarter. I believe everyone can do it. !"
"Oh!"
When the third quarter started, Li Ze switched to a low-post offense and called him an offensive foul. The situation would be bad. The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, and the Lakers fans on the scene began to shout:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Turtle crossed the half court, and immediately gave the ball to Durant at the top of the arc. At the same time, Perkins raised the screen, the usual pistol tactic, and Li Ze stood on the left flank outside the three-point line.
Noticing that Turtle had already received Durant's hand-to-hand pass, he immediately raised his eyebrows at Ibaka. Kobe kept staring at Li Ze's movements, and didn't realize that Ibaka had come to the left of the free throw line. Elbow position.
On the other side, Durant stood at the top of the arc after completing the hand-off pass, opening up the offensive space, while Turtle, relying on the cover of Perkins, accelerated in a straight line with the ball in his right hand and went straight into the inside.
Everyone's attention on the Lakers was attracted by the strong side of the turtle. Bynum retreated to the basket. Gasol mentioned that he was on the line, but he didn't notice that Ibaka moved a few steps closer to Li Ze.
When Guigui was about to break through to the three-second zone, Li Ze, on the left flank outside the three-point line, suddenly started and moved quickly to the left corner. Ibaka's upper screen delayed Kobe.
When Li Ze received a pass from the tortoise in the bottom corner, Kobe's pursuit was half a beat slow, and he could only watch as Li Ze caught the ball and quickly shot a jumper!
"Kayce! For three! That's Good!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan slightly raised the volume of the commentary. Li Ze immediately clapped his hands after scoring the goal, indicating that the pass was beautiful. The Thunder have been working on this tactic for more than two years. Basically, everyone knows it with just one look. what to do.
For the Lakers' offense, Kobe naturally wanted to catch Li Ze's three fouls, and asked for the ball directly after halftime.
Go up the line and Gasol completes a pick-and-roll, then accelerates the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, Ibaka delays the first time, and Kobe pulls back with his left hand in the process, shaking the defense, the left elbow of the free throw line, and makes a jumper shot !
"Kobe! Cross over! He got it!"
In the next few minutes, the two sides entered the stage of responding to the ball. Kobe was in good condition and made 3 of 3 shots. Three consecutive defenses.
For the Lakers' offense, Artest got an open shot on the right wing outside the three-point line, hesitated a little, and then shot a jumper.
"Bang!" Another strike!
The long rebound was caught by Guigui, and the Thunder immediately launched a transition attack. Noticing that Li Ze had already crossed the half court, Guigui passed the ball immediately.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze quickly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, and Kobe, who retreated, quickly stuck to the defense. After observing the opponent's defensive movement, his left hand suddenly changed direction under his crotch, then lowered his body's center of gravity, and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Kobe was so shaken that he lost half of his body. Seeing that Li Ze chose to break through, he immediately slid desperately to the left and back. At this time, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly pulled back under his crotch, shaking Kobe completely, and then adjusted his steps. Convert the three-point jump shot!
"OH! Kayce Open the three! Yes!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan saw that Li Ze had already hit a three-pointer before the big man of the Lakers retreated, and raised his commentary volume again.
"Shh!"
The Lakers fans at the scene saw Li Ze hit a three-pointer again, and immediately burst out with huge boos. Li Ze did not celebrate too much after the goal, but quickly returned to defense, and then made a gesture to Durant, signaling Continue the two-three defense.
Artest made a good three-pointer in the first half, but in the first half of the third quarter, in order to limit Durant, he consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, in the second half of the game, the Thunder chose to let go of this point. Do your best to block the inside line.
Kobe's physical fitness has also dropped a lot. This round, he signaled to give the ball to the inside. As a result, Bynum lost the ball directly under the sudden attack of Perkins and Ibaka.
The Lakers fans at the scene exclaimed for a while, the Thunder's transition speed was too fast, the tortoise rushed after receiving the ball, and Ramon Sessions was thrown away, noticing that Li Ze had once again thrown away Kobe, Turtle sent a long-distance ground pass.
Li Ze rushed over, received the pass inside the three-point line, rushed up in three strides, and easily completed a one-handed heavy dunk!
"Oh!"
After completing the dunk, Li Ze slapped his chest at the camera under the basket and roared angrily. When he retreated, he bumped his chest with Turtle to celebrate.
The Lakers fans were already a little panicked. When Kobe also hit the iron in the next round, the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation when they saw the Thunder cross the half court again.
Gasol and Bynum had just returned to halftime, and when they saw the two big men of the Thunder move to the elbow zone, their scalps felt numb. The big delay was very exhausting for them.
The Thunder's offense did not initiate a pick-and-roll this time. When Parkinson was preparing to pass the ball hand-off at the left elbow, Durant and Turtle both cut in without the ball. They pretended to receive the ball and cut in to take away the defense. .
Li Ze went from right to left. After slipping around the bottom line, he suddenly moved to the left flank. Although Kobe was exhausted, he still tried his best to catch up. When he came to the flank, Li Ze faltered up the line, and then suddenly ran back. .
Kobe was shaken away. Seeing Li Ze receive a pass from Perkins from outside the three-point line, Kobe subconsciously pounced, but was easily tapped by Li Ze, and then calmly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"BANG!"
"Kayce Another three!"
Li Ze scored 8 points in a row, and the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled excitedly. At this time, the point difference has reached 12 points. The Lakers fans on the scene have run out of battery. Seeing that there are only 3 minutes left in the third quarter, such a point difference What it means, everyone knows very well.
In the second half of the 3rd quarter, Kobe completely missed the mark. After 3 for 3, came a 5 for 0
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers scored 3 points in a single quarter. The Thunder maintained normal firepower and easily scored 19 points!
During the intermission, Kobe panted heavily, and then angrily pounded on the seat. Everyone saw that the boss seemed to have broken his defense again, and they all dared not make a sound. Coach Mike Brown saw the anger in Kobe's eyes, and he didn't want to mention the rotation. ok, let's do it
The game had just started in the fourth quarter. Ramon Sessions dribbled through half court, saw Kobe directly asking for the ball from beyond the three-point line, and immediately passed the ball obediently.
At this time, Li Ze has passed the foul crisis. In this quarter, he activated the [Enter the Rhythm] buff, easily predicting the opponent's pass, and then suddenly rushed up to grab the ball from Kobe's hand.
The fans at the scene saw Li Ze directly dragging Kobe down, and they all screamed. Li Ze rushed across the half court, just one step past the free throw line, and took off from a long distance. After turning the ball around in the air, he grabbed the ball with his right hand , hit the ball hard into the basket!
"Boom!" Switch the dunk hand!
Coach Mike Brown on the sidelines roared loudly at the referee, venting his dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the referee also has a balance whistle, and the MVP is not for nothing. Of course, Li Ze has the star whistle.
Li Ze, who returned to the half court, immediately applauded enthusiastically and loudly signaled his teammates to continue defending. Kobe was blown away by Li Ze's steal.
As a result, the ball just left the palm of his hand, and the turtle saw the opportunity to steal it, and then accelerated crazily. Ramon Sessions was completely numb, and desperately returned to the defense, and immediately pulled the turtle just after passing the three-point line.
At this time, Guigui threw the ball to the basket, and the ball hit the net. The Staples Arena was silent, and the Lakers fans at the scene could only see Guigui shouting excitedly, bouncing around and celebrating wildly.
Everyone in the Thunder team swarmed up and yelled together, and the atmosphere group on the bench even tossed the towel wildly, this ball is amazing!
"Nice job! Bro!"
Li Ze also thumped Guigui's chest excitedly. The referee signaled the Thunder to make a free throw, and everyone ended their celebration. After the extra penalty was made, the point difference has reached 17 points!
In the next few minutes, the Lakers seemed to be stunned by the two steals in the opening game. The outside line was bang bang, and Durant's conversion attack scored another 2 points. The game completely lost suspense.
When Mike Brown asked for a timeout again, the Lakers fans at the scene just watched the players go to the bench silently. The series score was 3:0, and there was no miracle.
Li Ze, who was back on the bench, was in a good mood. He took the water bottle handed over by the new Marshan Brooks, added some water, felt the silence of the Staples Arena, and thought happily in his heart:
"Nights are long and dreams are many. End the game directly in Los Angeles. Maybe you can get more rest time. After this season is over, maybe the Black Mamba will soon withdraw from the playoffs stage!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
The next chapter is the Western Conference Finals, and I'm sure I won't be able to count the words. -
(End of this chapter)
For the vast majority of fans, whenever the team has new players, they always have great expectations!
Even if the player who joins is only a second-round pick, as long as he joins certain teams, the attention will double immediately, and some team fans will not allow others to speak ill of the team at all.
In short, as long as a certain team is interested in it, it must be buried gold. As for other teams not using it, it is your players and coaches who have problems.
After the end of G1 in the Western Conference semifinals between the Thunder and the Lakers, some Lakers fans broke their defenses. Isn't Ramon Sessions a defensive champion?Why is Crouching Tiger's outside line still broken into a sieve?
The most important thing is why Ramon Sessions scored 7 of 1 and only scored 2 points. This performance is not even as good as the old fisher Fisher before!
In order to strengthen the team this season, the Lakers traded Fisher Fisher to the Rockets before the trade deadline in exchange for Jordan Hill.
However, Fisher was not interested in playing in Houston, and finally reached a buyout agreement with the Rockets.
And the Thunder has Li Ze, and they won the championship last year, so naturally they will not consider this 37-year-old veteran. Veteran experience?The coaching staff of the Thunder believe in the strength of the golden thigh!
Therefore, Fisher is currently unemployed, but considering his age of 37, direct retirement is also a good choice.
On the other side of the ocean, the majority of Komi players were broken by the Thunder. In the Western Conference semifinals, they were beaten by 33 points. This shows that the two teams are not on the same level at all.
Coupled with the fact that Kobe scored 18 of 7 and only scored 20 points, both offensive and defensive ends were completely suppressed by Li Ze. As long as the fans watched the game, they would obviously find that Li Ze had Kobe in a tight grip.
In this case, after the game, the Hupu forum basically turned into Zepu. Except for Kemi, who is a dead duck with a hard mouth, the rest are all bragging about Li Ze:
"This is the strength of the second consecutive MVP. Li Ze is already thinking about his opponent in the Western Conference Finals. Kobe? He's just an outdated star."
"Kobe can't even make crazy shots this time. He doesn't allow him physically! The Lakers should rebuild quickly and take Kobe as the core. I'm afraid they won't even be able to make it to the playoffs in the future."
"The Thunder's three young masters X! Li Ze 33 points, Durant 29 points, Westbrook 24 points, Ramon Sessions is simply a joke, and Comey blows it every day, the playoffs are showing their original shape, right? Killing me!"
"The Lakers lost, and the volute didn't lose. With this lineup, Jordan couldn't do it. Gasol played too softly. Sessions was a parallel importer. The volute took 18 shots. Obviously, it was his teammates in the CBA. lost."
"If it doesn't work, let's sign Fisher back. Anyway, I can't guard against it. Lao Yu can still throw a few three-pointers."
"At the beginning I hated Fisher, but then I hated Sessions after losing the game. The responsibility is all the role players. Comey is stubborn. The core players have been blown up. If you leave the role players alone, how can you put the blame on the players? Li Ze is locked up!"
"If Kobe had this ability, he wouldn't have been swept away last year. There are only a bunch of lakers who are still fantasizing about it. Li Ze is not yet 22 years old. Let's recognize the reality as soon as possible. In the future, we will basically be abused once."
"."
Of course, there are still many Kobes who firmly believe that Kobe will bottom out and rebound. America’s ball critics are also talking nonsense for the sake of traffic. O’Neill even praised Kobe’s G1 performance in the TNT program:
"I believe in Kobe. After the first round, he only rested for one day. Kobe played very well in G1. Although his body was not in the best condition, he still scored 20 points efficiently!"
Although Charles Barkley wanted to laugh, but for the sake of the program effect, he also opened his eyes and told nonsense, facing the camera and said solemnly:
"Once the Lakers' twin towers recover, slow down the pace of the game, and increase physical confrontation, the Thunder will be unable to defend inside. Perkins can't limit Bynum at all. I am optimistic about the performance of the Lakers in G2."
On the other side, Kenny Smith and the host Ernie Johnson couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing the serious nonsense of the two, they almost laughed out loud in the show:
"Can the Lakers limit the Thunder's perimeter?"
"I even think Kayce didn't exert his strength at all. He scored 33 points in three quarters and missed a minute in the fourth quarter. Imagine what would happen if Kayce played more than 4 minutes!"
O'Neill and Charles Barkley heard such questions, of course they would not answer, what would happen?Perhaps the point difference will directly break through 58 points.
In another game on the night of the 15th, there was a big upset. At 78:75, the Pacers defeated the Heat in an away game and tied the series to 1:1.
After the previous G1 game, the media reporters in Amerika praised LeBron James' performance, 26 of 12, 32 points and 15 rebounds. LeBron James seemed to be unstoppable.
As a result, tonight's game ended, and the fools immediately changed their tone, and began to praise the Pacers' defense, and almost blew Hibbert into the sky.
However, considering Chris Bosh's truce due to injury, some critics also helped the Heat find an excuse in advance.
However, the Heat only scored 3 points in the third quarter of this game. Reminiscent of their performance in last year's finals, many critics are cautiously optimistic about the Big Three.
On May 5th, the Spurs, who played at home that night, easily defeated the Grizzlies again, 16:92. Tim Duncan made 108 of 20 and easily scored a double-double of 12 points and 26 rebounds. Dorff simply can't contain the veteran
After the game ended, the big score of the series also came to 2:0, which also made the media reporters of America began to sing praises for Popovich. The season was shortened, and the old Spurs actually played a dominant role. It's amazing!
In the other Eastern Conference semifinals, the away Celtics seemed to have finally found their form. They defeated the 107ers in an away game 91:76, regained the initiative, and rewritten the big score of the series to 2:1.
After seeing the Celtics lose in G2, they seemed to wake up. The media reporters in Amelia were overjoyed. If there is another Big Three battle in the Eastern Conference Finals, no matter what the result is, the topic will definitely be full!
On the night of the 17th, G2 between the Thunder and the Lakers attracted much attention, and many fans were looking forward to Kobe's response during the game.
Head coach Mike Brown completely gave up the idea of attacking and attacking for his coaching career that night. Since the start of the game, the offensive rhythm has been slowed down, and the defensive end has been actively confronted, preventing the Thunder from easily switching opportunities .
But unfortunately at the end of the half, at 45:56, the Thunder still had an 11-point lead.
In the commentary seat of TNT, Steve Kerr looked at the technical statistics in his hands and said helplessly:
"The Lakers' game plan is very adequate, but there are still problems with the defense of the core players. Perhaps it is a wrong choice to continue to let Kobe defend Kayce. He made 11 of 4 in the half and scored 10 points. Kobe's offensive performance affected."
Reggie Miller was still Li Zechui, casually glanced at the technical statistics in his hand, and said briskly:
"It's somewhat similar to the game in G1. Although the Lakers have increased confrontation, sending Kayce to the free throw line is definitely not a good defensive choice!"
"11 of 6 in the half, including 2 of 1 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. Facing the strict defense of the Lakers, Kayce still easily scored 19 points. Coach Mike Brown should consider giving Matt Barnes More playing time."
Unlike the last game, although the two analyzed it, they never mentioned the Lakers' strong rebound in the second half. The commentator Kevin Harlan brought the topic to the best lineup:
"The best team of the season is about to be released, but many critics are calling for Chris Paul to enter the first team. In this way, Kobe may lose his first team position. What do you two think about this matter?"
When Steve Kerr heard about this topic, his head suddenly became dizzy. The Los Angeles media had already started a civil war, and many people were supporting Chris Paul. Faced with such a controversial topic, Steve Kerr could only Say good things:
"Kobe and Paul are both very good players. No matter who is selected for the first team in the end, they all deserve their names!"
"I totally agree with Steve, both of them have played very well this season!"
"."
After the start of the second half, the two teams returned to their starting lineups again. The Thunder took the lead in attacking. In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Oklahoma City fans who were in a good mood once again shouted passionately:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
After halftime, Guigui saw that the Lakers were still man-to-man, so he immediately made an offensive gesture.
Kobe noticed that Li Ze started turning his back to ask for the ball again, and at the same time the other Thunder players cleared the side, couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitching, and singled him again?
Ever since Li Ze asked for the ball with his back, Kobe kept half-circling forward to defend. The two began to pull each other near the baseline, and they were tearing apart. In addition, the referee relaxed some standards in this game, which also made the two The action is getting bigger and bigger.
When Li Ze came to the left block position, Guigui immediately sent a high-throw pass. Li Ze jumped up to catch the ball, turned around after landing, and attacked face-to-face. After three threats, he took a big step with his right foot, put the ball with his left hand, and went to the baseline Directional cross step breakthrough.
Kobe looked ferocious, constantly putting pressure on the defense at his side, and at the same time strictly guarded against going offline.
When he broke through to the bottom line, Kobe felt that his defense was working. Seeing that Li Ze slowed down his breakthrough, moved away from the basket, and switched to his right hand, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.
In the next second, seeing Li Ze suddenly turn his head, Kobe was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, he had completely lost his defensive position.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw Li Ze suddenly dribble the ball behind his back with his right hand near the baseline, and then turned around. Kobe's defense was gone, and they immediately shouted excitedly.
Li Ze successfully shook Kobe away by turning his head and moving his body. After holding the ball in his left hand, he easily broke through the bottom line and made a layup!
"Wonderful goal! Terrifying physical coordination, a two-meter player makes the movements of a small defender, it is unbelievable that Kayce is not yet 22 years old!"
Steve Kerr felt the atmosphere that was about to explode, and shouted in the same tone of excitement.
Kobe was really pissed off this time, Li Ze's juggling moves are simply a humiliation to him!
In the offensive round of the Lakers, Kobe also turned his back to ask for the ball in the right block. As a result, Li Ze's half-circling defense couldn't catch the ball at all. In desperation, he had to go beyond the three-point line.
The two just had a fight, which directly consumed half of the Lakers' offensive time. When Kobe received the ball from outside the three-point line, Gasol quickly went up the line to screen for a pick-and-roll.
Kobe, who is holding the ball in his left hand, used the cover to get rid of Li Ze's entanglement with difficulty. Noticing that Ibaka seemed to give up his three-point defense, Kobe immediately stopped and shot a jumper at the top of the arc outside the three-point line!
"Bang!" Angrily strike!
Perkins slammed Bynum in the paint and didn't give the opponent a chance to take off easily. After the rebound popped up, Ibaka finally successfully received the backcourt rebound, and everyone in the Lakers retreated immediately.
Li Ze made an offensive gesture, indicating that there is no need to worry, and he will play the same tactic again, but Kobe saw that Li Ze was going to catch the ball in a low position and single him, and his defensive actions were even rougher.
It's a pity that even pulling and pulling didn't work at all. Li Ze, who was in the left block position, easily received the pass from the turtle again, and then released the ball with his right hand. Quickly bang bang bang twice.
Kobe's chest felt tight after being hit, and he found himself being pushed into the paint again. He quickly controlled his body and saw Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly shake his shoulders. He couldn't judge how Li Ze would attack.
Taking advantage of the moment when Kobe defended in a daze, Li Ze immediately turned with his left foot as the axis, turned in the offline direction, and threw a shot with his left hand. Kobe was firmly stuck by Li Ze's body, and subconsciously took off to block the shot.
"squeak!"
"Boom!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in. Although Li Ze was hit on the arm, Li Ze's high rebound was not affected in any way. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw Kobe fouling again, and immediately screamed excitedly.
Li Ze and his teammates finished the high-five celebration, stood on the free throw line, noticed that Kobe had used the death gaze again, and immediately said with a chuckle:
"You should double-team me! Otherwise, I will definitely blow up the player who is facing me!"
"Be respectful! Boy, the game is not over yet!"
Artest immediately choked back, but when Li Ze turned his head and ignored him, he was almost blown away. Li Ze took the ball from the referee, curled his lips at Artest, and then calmed down. penalty.
Of course Artest understands the message from Li Ze, "I'm the MVP, who the hell is that?" This feeling of contempt made Artest start to go berserk, and completely let go of his movements when defending Durant. .
In the next few rounds, Durant was also very angry. It was Li Ze who taunted Artest, but the opponent attacked him. Isn't this just bullying?
The anger between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, the referee began to blow the whistle frequently, and the rhythm of the game became fragmented, but the Oklahoma City fans on the scene became more and more excited.
The coach Mike Brown on the sidelines could only yell at this time and act as an atmosphere group, especially seeing that the point difference was still expanding, which made him dare not replace the substitute players at all.
The main lineups of the two sides played almost the entire third quarter. The Lakers' slowing down was indeed effective, but the defensive end was exhausted, and the offense began to stretch their hips. The final single quarter was 3:18.
After three quarters, at 63:80, the Lakers have fallen behind by 17 points.
In the last quarter of the game, although the head coach Mike Brown wanted to admit defeat directly, seeing Kobe insisting on playing, he could only send out the main lineup again.
The head coach Brooks carried out a rotation of inside players. Perkins couldn't stand it anymore, and Collison came off the bench.
The Lakers took the lead in attacking and noticed that the Thunder's defense had become a 23-zone defense. Gasol came to the free throw line to catch the ball, and then passed it quickly from the outside. After the pass, quickly shoot the jump shot!
"Bang!" Another strike!
Hearing the loud cheers erupting from the scene, Reggie Miller in the commentary first looked at the technical statistics, then shook his head and said:
"Currently the Lakers are 11-for-1 from the perimeter. The Thunder's choice of zone defense at this time is the right choice. Kobe needs to stand up and score. With a 17-point difference, the Lakers have no way out."
After the long rebound was picked up by Durant, the Thunder immediately launched a transition attack and gave it to Turtle immediately. The latter caught the ball and accelerated in a straight line. The three-quarter game did not cause Turtle's physical problems. At this time Still full of energy.
Ramon Sessions really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to foul early in desperation.
"Shh!"
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were immediately unhappy, and boos broke out again. Seeing that the tortoise was a little bit up, Li Ze clapped his hands quickly, signaling everyone to calm down. With a 17-point difference, don't follow the rhythm of the Lakers.
Noticing that Kobe was sweating all the time, Li Ze smiled in his heart, and while serving the frontcourt, he made an offensive gesture, indicating that he was going to play off the ball.
Durant came to his spirits at this time. In the third quarter, he played off the ball most of the time, which saved a lot of energy. Therefore, in the fourth quarter, the Thunder began to hand-to-hand from outside the three-point line. , Durant broke out completely.
At the top of the arc, he received a hand-off pass from Li Ze. Artest, who was chasing after him, was hung up by Li Ze, and Kobe had no choice but to switch defenses.
Durant's offense was extremely simple and rough. He accelerated directly with the ball in his right hand, dribbled the ball behind his back suddenly at the free throw line, ignored Kobe's block, and shot a mid-range jumper!
"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance!
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene continued to cheer loudly, but Kobe saw that the point difference was about to reach 20 points, and asked for the ball again after halftime, Li Ze turned on the [Enter Rhythm] Buff and entered the focus mode.
Kobe soon discovered that Li Ze's defensive aggression was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't make a face-to-face single.
Kobe, whose physical fitness has declined, feels that he can't get rid of Li Ze's entanglement at all. Seeing that the attack time will be 24 seconds, and finally resisting Li Ze's block, the position of the left block drifts and a fallback jumper is shot!
"Bang!" Keep hitting the iron!
[Perpetual Motion Defender] + [Marking Master] + [Bronze Wall] + [Death Coil] + [Defensive Deterrence] combined bonus, combined with [Entering the Rhythm], makes Li Ze's defense airtight, as if changed Became a defensive specialist who has been in the league for 10 years
Everyone on the Lakers saw that the long rebound was accepted by the Thunder, and immediately retreated quickly. As a result, the Thunder's offense, five people mentioned the line again, and the three-person team interspersed back and forth, which completely paralyzed the big men of the Lakers.
This time Durant received the ball from the left flank outside the three-point line, pretending to pass the ball to Li Ze. At the moment when the two were about to touch, he suddenly accelerated with the ball, easily dodged Artest's defense, and broke through. Going inside, causing Gasol to foul and get two free throw opportunities.
"The game has no suspense. The Lakers seem to be in a scoring drought again. Kayce's defense against Kobe is really good. I really can't think of how Mike Brown should solve this problem."
Steve Kerr in the commentary booth no longer estimated the feelings of the Lakers fans, and told the truth.
In the next three minutes or so, Kobe continued to hit the iron in addition to the iron. The Black Mamba seemed to be completely on top.
This time, the Thunder fought with Artest again, and the Thunder launched a transition attack again. Turtle quickly made the ball, and Li Ze received the ball from the right wing outside the three-point line. No one was marking, and a long-range three-pointer made a quick jumper. shot!
"That's good! Kayce from downtown!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan was still full of passion. Seeing Li Ze hit a conversion three-pointer, he shouted excitedly again. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene had already begun to celebrate the victory of the game. Seeing that the Lakers had not given up on the game, continue Crazy shout:
"Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!"
Kobe seemed a little unbelievable. After half a quarter of the fourth quarter, the Lakers only scored 4 points. At this time, Kobe looked stern. Facing Li Ze's defense, the position of the right block drifted and a fallback jumper was shot!
"Oh!"
In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, huge cheers broke out again, and Kobe hit the iron again!And this round the Lakers' defense completely collapsed. Turtle received the ball from the backcourt, accelerated in a straight line, and finally succeeded in a one-stop layup.
After scoring the goal, the tortoise screamed excitedly, thumped his chest at the camera under the basket, and the head coach Mike Brown on the sidelines immediately requested a timeout.
After the short timeout ended, Coach Brooks found that the Lakers were still in the starting lineup. He felt a little helpless, and the main force of the Thunder was forced to open again.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Oklahoma City fans at the scene were going crazy with joy. The Lakers were still so strong. In the commentary booth of TNT, the three looked at each other. This scene is really rare.
With 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the game, coach Mike Brown finally replaced Kobe, and the Thunder immediately replaced the main lineup. In the last few tens of seconds, the atmosphere group threw two The ball, and time runs out.
In the end, 75:104, the Thunder at home beat the Lakers again, and the series scored 2:0!
After Kobe finished in the fourth quarter, he returned directly to the locker room. In the last quarter, the Lakers scored 4 points in a single quarter, which completely broke Kobe's defense. Lost too much
李泽倒是很喜欢湖人队的坚持，42分钟的出场时间，数据也变得好看不少，21中11，其中三分球4中2，罚球12中11，拿到全场最高的35分6篮板4助攻1抢断2失误。
"After this game, the boring commentators should admit that the Lakers are not good! Every time I see everyone talking nonsense on TV, I want to start my own radio station."
After winning the game, Durant was in a good mood. Although he only scored 30 points, his efficiency was finally higher than that of Li Zeyi. For this, Durant Lemon was very pleased, and he was very happy when he complained
"It's because they are always talking nonsense, so I rarely pay attention to the sports media. It takes a lot of money to start a radio station!"
Turtle, who scored another 24 points in this game, kept waving to the fans on the sidelines. He couldn't help complaining when he heard Durant's words. Li Ze didn't expect Durant to have such an idea, so jokingly said:
"The cost of the radio station is too high. If you want to play, you can consider a personal podcast. Youtube is a good platform. We can take turns being the host. Anyway, it's nonsense. The fans will definitely like it!"
Durant, who was walking towards the player tunnel, was stunned when he heard Li Ze's words, and then shouted in ecstasy:
"God! Kayce! You're a genius! I love a show like this, tweeting in video, wow! I can say whatever I want on my show!"
"."
On the night of May 5th, the traffic was directly full, and the Eastern Conference semifinals were held simultaneously. At 17:75, the Pacers beat the Heat at home.
Wade was in a sluggish state, 13 of 2, only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds, and what was even more fatal was that there were 5 turnovers, and the old problem of the Heat appeared again. In the third quarter, he scored 3 points in a single quarter. power off.
The media reporters in America were ecstatic. The Lakers scored 12 points in a single quarter, and the Heat also scored 12 points in a single quarter. Kobe scored 25 of 9 points and scored 20 points. Wade scored 13 of 2 points and scored 5 points. The topic of these two days All out!
On the 18th, TNT and ESPN began to bad-mouth the Lakers and the Heat. As excellent folly, experts and critics from all walks of life expressed their opinions one after another. A brief summary is:
"Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is dead, and the Big Three of the Heat are stretching their hips."
The topic was too hot, which caused the attention of the game to drop a lot that night. The Grizzlies returned to the home court and finally pulled back a victory. 96:99, relying on Michael Conley's magical performance at the last moment, the Grizzlies lore The Spurs.
Another Eastern Conference semifinal, 83:92, the 76ers at home stubbornly tied the big score to 2:2, but for the battle of Tianwangshan, most critics are still optimistic about the Celtics, the experience of the Big Three It is indeed too rich!
However, the hottest topic of the night fell on Durant. On April 4, "The Avengers" premiered. Throughout May, the movie became a huge hit.
Scarlett Johansson was named the 5th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 2nd.
Perhaps because Scarlett is too beautiful, coupled with the fact that the goddess has been appearing frequently on TV shows recently, Durant finally couldn't bear the longing in his heart when he was about to go to Los Angeles, and openly confessed on Twitter:
“Scarlett Johansson I will drink our bath Water”
As soon as this tweet was posted, various sports media were the first to discover it, and then everyone almost burst into joy!
Durant has won the championship and has a big contract, so he would post such a dog-licking tweet, which is completely inconsistent with the personality of a superstar. Look at Kobe’s Twitter, which is full of Nike advertisements. It is said that Kobe himself don't play these apps at all
There is no distinction between style and style, and various media outlets appeared on the stage that night, frantically discussing Durant's dog-licking behavior.
When flying to Los Angeles on the morning of the 19th, as soon as Durant boarded the plane, he found his teammates looking at him strangely, immediately shrugged helplessly, and said casually:
"I drank some wine last night. As you know, I have two twitter accounts, but I accidentally posted them on the tuba! I posted them all, and I didn't bother to delete them."
When Li Ze saw this tweet last night, he felt a little powerless to complain. He thought that because of his arrival, everyone often played ball together, and Durant should give up missing the goddess. Never forget.
"That's fine, maybe Scarlett will respond to me in a few days, I have two big contracts, and I can fully afford the life of a Hollywood actress!"
During the journey, when he heard that Durant was still imagining a bright future, Li Ze's expression became more and more strange. At this time, he really wanted to shout:
"Lick to the end and get nothing!"
The tight playoff schedule leaves the Lakers with little time to rest. After returning to Los Angeles, head coach Mike Brown has been completely insomnia for the past two days. If the big score comes to 3:0, then everything will be over .
Not only is the Lakers' journey this season over, but his coaching career with the Lakers will also be completely over.
Losing two games in a row, the fans of the Lakers have already started to scold the head coach. Once this season is really swept out, Mike Brown thinks that next season he will be the first head coach to be dismissed in the league.
On the night of the 19th, the Staples Arena was packed, and the tickets in the front row were booked by stars, big and small. Every time it came to the playoffs, stars from all walks of life would come to the arena as long as they were free. heat.
In the locker room of the home team, Kobe returned to his seat after warming up and didn’t say a word. Others didn’t dare to say anything when they saw the boss’s appearance. Everyone knew that Kobe really broke the defense in the first two games up.
Coach Mike Brown entered the locker room and felt the atmosphere was a little dull. He immediately put on a confident look and said loudly:
"Guys, this is our home court. In tonight's game, we need to hit the ball more inside, and we must be aggressive on the defensive end. Make good use of the home court advantage. When the offense cannot be opened, try to stand up At the free throw line."
"Forget the first two games, protect our home court, the series has just begun, trust each other, we are tired!"
Coach Mike Brown began to send out thick chicken soup, and everyone in the Lakers reacted to the coach's words. It is normal to lose away games. Seeing that everyone regained their confidence, Coach Mike Brown was completely relieved.
In the game that night, the Thunder did not have any psychological burden. In addition, they had rested for nearly a week before, and their physical condition was good, and the main lineup all played normally.
At the end of the half, at 54:50, the Thunder entered the second half with a 4-point lead.
Although Kobe made 9 of 3 in the half, he made 7 free throws and scored 13 points in the half. The Lakers fans at the scene were still very satisfied with Kobe's performance.
During the intermission, Li Ze was a little dissatisfied with the referee's call scale in the first half. In the two quarters, he was called for three fouls and only got two free throws. The whistle was a bit off.
10 of 6, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover. Li Ze saw the technical statistics in his hand and couldn't complain. Kobe took 4 free throws on him.
"This is the home whistle of the Lakers. Although I understand the league's approach, I hate this whistle scale."
Durant complained when he returned to the locker room. At this time, coach Brooks knocked on the whiteboard. Seeing the players looking at him, he immediately said:
"Play smarter in the second half, don't argue with the referee, that's my job, well, I will also control my emotions, I already got a T in the half, I don't want to be sent off."
Everyone in the Thunder team burst into laughter. Li Ze's third foul made Coach Brooks furious. He yelled at the referee continuously on the spot and finally allowed Kobe to get a free throw.
"Pick-and-roll offense, show our true skills. Tonight we will use shooting to solve the Lakers. Don't worry about the opponent's transition offense. The opponent is not the Heat. We will end the game in the third quarter. I believe everyone can do it. !"
"Oh!"
When the third quarter started, Li Ze switched to a low-post offense and called him an offensive foul. The situation would be bad. The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, and the Lakers fans on the scene began to shout:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Turtle crossed the half court, and immediately gave the ball to Durant at the top of the arc. At the same time, Perkins raised the screen, the usual pistol tactic, and Li Ze stood on the left flank outside the three-point line.
Noticing that Turtle had already received Durant's hand-to-hand pass, he immediately raised his eyebrows at Ibaka. Kobe kept staring at Li Ze's movements, and didn't realize that Ibaka had come to the left of the free throw line. Elbow position.
On the other side, Durant stood at the top of the arc after completing the hand-off pass, opening up the offensive space, while Turtle, relying on the cover of Perkins, accelerated in a straight line with the ball in his right hand and went straight into the inside.
Everyone's attention on the Lakers was attracted by the strong side of the turtle. Bynum retreated to the basket. Gasol mentioned that he was on the line, but he didn't notice that Ibaka moved a few steps closer to Li Ze.
When Guigui was about to break through to the three-second zone, Li Ze, on the left flank outside the three-point line, suddenly started and moved quickly to the left corner. Ibaka's upper screen delayed Kobe.
When Li Ze received a pass from the tortoise in the bottom corner, Kobe's pursuit was half a beat slow, and he could only watch as Li Ze caught the ball and quickly shot a jumper!
"Kayce! For three! That's Good!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan slightly raised the volume of the commentary. Li Ze immediately clapped his hands after scoring the goal, indicating that the pass was beautiful. The Thunder have been working on this tactic for more than two years. Basically, everyone knows it with just one look. what to do.
For the Lakers' offense, Kobe naturally wanted to catch Li Ze's three fouls, and asked for the ball directly after halftime.
Go up the line and Gasol completes a pick-and-roll, then accelerates the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, Ibaka delays the first time, and Kobe pulls back with his left hand in the process, shaking the defense, the left elbow of the free throw line, and makes a jumper shot !
"Kobe! Cross over! He got it!"
In the next few minutes, the two sides entered the stage of responding to the ball. Kobe was in good condition and made 3 of 3 shots. Three consecutive defenses.
For the Lakers' offense, Artest got an open shot on the right wing outside the three-point line, hesitated a little, and then shot a jumper.
"Bang!" Another strike!
The long rebound was caught by Guigui, and the Thunder immediately launched a transition attack. Noticing that Li Ze had already crossed the half court, Guigui passed the ball immediately.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze quickly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, and Kobe, who retreated, quickly stuck to the defense. After observing the opponent's defensive movement, his left hand suddenly changed direction under his crotch, then lowered his body's center of gravity, and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Kobe was so shaken that he lost half of his body. Seeing that Li Ze chose to break through, he immediately slid desperately to the left and back. At this time, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly pulled back under his crotch, shaking Kobe completely, and then adjusted his steps. Convert the three-point jump shot!
"OH! Kayce Open the three! Yes!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan saw that Li Ze had already hit a three-pointer before the big man of the Lakers retreated, and raised his commentary volume again.
"Shh!"
The Lakers fans at the scene saw Li Ze hit a three-pointer again, and immediately burst out with huge boos. Li Ze did not celebrate too much after the goal, but quickly returned to defense, and then made a gesture to Durant, signaling Continue the two-three defense.
Artest made a good three-pointer in the first half, but in the first half of the third quarter, in order to limit Durant, he consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, in the second half of the game, the Thunder chose to let go of this point. Do your best to block the inside line.
Kobe's physical fitness has also dropped a lot. This round, he signaled to give the ball to the inside. As a result, Bynum lost the ball directly under the sudden attack of Perkins and Ibaka.

The Lakers fans were already a little panicked. When Kobe also hit the iron in the next round, the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation when they saw the Thunder cross the half court again.
Gasol and Bynum had just returned to halftime, and when they saw the two big men of the Thunder move to the elbow zone, their scalps felt numb. The big delay was very exhausting for them.
The Thunder's offense did not initiate a pick-and-roll this time. When Parkinson was preparing to pass the ball hand-off at the left elbow, Durant and Turtle both cut in without the ball. They pretended to receive the ball and cut in to take away the defense. .
Li Ze went from right to left. After slipping around the bottom line, he suddenly moved to the left flank. Although Kobe was exhausted, he still tried his best to catch up. When he came to the flank, Li Ze faltered up the line, and then suddenly ran back. .

The game had just started in the fourth quarter. Ramon Sessions dribbled through half court, saw Kobe directly asking for the ball from beyond the three-point line, and immediately passed the ball obediently.

After turning the ball around in the air, he grabbed the ball with his right hand , hit the ball hard into the basket!
"Boom!" Switch the dunk hand!
Coach Mike Brown on the sidelines roared loudly at the referee, venting his dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the referee also has a balance whistle, and the MVP is not for nothing. Of course, Li Ze has the star whistle.
Li Ze, who returned to the half court, immediately applauded enthusiastically and loudly signaled his teammates to continue defending. Kobe was blown away by Li Ze's steal.
As a result, the ball just left the palm of his hand, and the turtle saw the opportunity to steal it, and then accelerated crazily. Ramon Sessions was completely numb, and desperately returned to the defense, and immediately pulled the turtle just after passing the three-point line.

When Mike Brown asked for a timeout again, the Lakers fans at the scene just watched the players go to the bench silently. The series score was 3:0, and there was no miracle.
Li Ze, who was back on the bench, was in a good mood. He took the water bottle handed over by the new Marshan Brooks, added some water, felt the silence of the Staples Arena, and thought happily in his heart:
"Nights are long and dreams are many. End the game directly in Los Angeles. Maybe you can get more rest time. After this season is over, maybe the Black Mamba will soon withdraw from the playoffs stage!"
