NBA bench saves national team

Under the defense of the Lakers, the Thunder made 23 turnovers in the game. This number is extremely terrifying.

Even if the Lakers only seize half of the opportunities, they can take advantage of the opponent's mistakes and score more than 20 points.

Coupled with the low shooting percentage, this caused the Thunder to be beaten helplessly.

The only surprise was Redick, who scored 4 three-pointers in this game and made more than 50% of them.

But the performance of a role player can hardly change the situation of the game.

To win the Lakers, it mainly depends on the team's superstars.

The players of the Thunder left the field sadly, the way ahead was very confused, and they didn't know how to face the next series.

The most difficult thing is the head coach Brooks.

He is very entangled now, wondering whether the next game should follow the adjustment of this game, because the loss in this game is mainly due to the poor performance of the players, and the specific effect of the lineup has not yet been verified.

This is nonsense.

If the lineup is changed frequently, it will also affect the stability of the team, and only tactical changes can be made.

I have to continue to stay up all night to study!

Brooks walked at the back of the team, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, feeling very tired.

He misses Qin Feng very much when he was on the team. He didn't have to think about these issues at all. No matter what the team was like or how the game was played, he could solve the problem as long as he used tactics to "pass the basketball to Qin Feng".

Not anymore.

After leaving the arena, all members of the Thunder returned to Goose City by plane overnight, and will work hard to prepare for the third game of the series.

For them, the third game will be a game that cannot be lost.

If you lose, the series will be over.

In the entire history of the NBA, only one team has completed a reversal after falling behind 0:3, and that was the Thunder last season.

After the Lakers players went home for a night of rest, they boarded the plane to Goose City the next day.

Another day later.

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals series will be played at the Ford Center, home of the Thunder.

Compared with the second game, the players of the Thunder team took on a new look both mentally and imposingly, and played an extremely fierce offensive and defensive performance.

Directly beat the Lakers.

Durant Westbrook took turns to attack, hit the basket, and played a burst performance.

The first quarter is over.

26: 36.

The Lakers trailed by 10 points in a single quarter.

All the fans cheered excitedly, and even those fans who supported Qin Feng also started to support the home team at this time.

After all, they also hope that the Thunder can reach the finals.

The second game.

The Thunder are still firmly suppressing the Lakers, not giving them a chance to breathe.

Cole also adjusted the rotation appropriately, reducing the playing time of the substitute players and increasing the time of Qin Feng and Lowry.

Under the leadership of Qin Feng, the Lakers rushed to catch up.

But Durant once again performed superbly, throwing two consecutive three-pointers to help the team stabilize the lead.

The Lakers' counterattack was suppressed.

Wait until Kobe comes back.

The Lakers once again set off a counterattack, played a high-intensity offense and defense, and approached the score.

Although the Thunder were beaten in a panic and made several mistakes, they once again stabilized their advantage with Durant and Redick's three-pointers and pushed back the Lakers' counterattack.

The audience was a little suffocated watching.

The level of competition is simply too high.

Both parties have achieved the ultimate in details and devoted themselves wholeheartedly.

As long as there is a small mistake, the opponent can seize the opportunity to fight back and sanction the opponent.

The on-site commentary is also frequently chanted, this is definitely one of the highest-level Western Conference finals he has seen!

The first half is over.

58: 67.

The Thunder tenaciously continued to lead the Lakers by 9 points.

After a long intermission.

The second half of the game begins.

The players on the Lakers still haven't found their form, and Kobe's offensive efficiency in the double star has also begun to decline, and he missed consecutive hits.

The Thunder took the opportunity to set off another wave of offensive frenzy, and scored a wave of 3:12 in 5 minutes, extending the lead to 16 points.

beep.

Lakers head coach Steve Kerr called a timeout and made adjustments to the lineup.

Replaced with the ultimate death five, pushing Qin Feng to the center position.

As such.

The lineup of the Lakers is Qin Feng, Anderson, Artest, Kobe, Lowry;

Although Anderson is the team's defensive loophole, Qin Feng's defense in the penalty area can make up for it, and the team really needs Anderson's three-point shooting ability.

After Anderson was traded to the Lakers this season, he averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game, and his three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40%.

It is an important perimeter fort for the team.

After a pause comes back.

All the Lakers fans watching this game got excited.

This set of five small lineups can be said to be the strongest lineup of the Lakers, and it should be no problem to chase points.

however.

Anderson, Lowry, and Artest felt extremely bad. After consecutive missed three-pointers, the Thunder began to shrink their defense very boldly, and concentrated all their defensive energy on Qin Feng and Kobe.

As a result, Kobe's performance was also limited, even though Kobe broke through the encirclement through his strong personal ability, made two consecutive fouls and made 4 free throws.

But it's just a drop in the bucket.

Only Qin Feng helped the team get some points through difficult shots in front of him.

Fortunately, in the second half of the third quarter, Qin Feng broke out again, grabbing rebounds consecutively to promote the defensive counterattack.

Because his teammates didn't feel good, Qin Feng simply stopped passing the ball, as if he had returned to fighting alone in the finals of last season.

Under his continuous counterattack, the point difference was reduced to single digits before the end of the third quarter.

Some points were recovered.

In the fourth quarter.

Both sides went directly to the main lineup.

Brooks no longer considers the physical fitness of the main players, so let's stabilize the advantage first.

If Qin Feng hits another wave of offensive climax, then the only point difference will be wiped out.

Because of Qin Feng's existence, you really can't be careless for a second!

However, the Lakers don't need to worry about the physical strength of the leading star, because Qin Feng has played in the NBA for several years, and he has never seen his physical strength exhausted.

At the most ruthless time, Brooks let Qin Feng play for 48 minutes in several consecutive games.

However, Qin Feng was able to maintain his vitality in every game and played a bursting performance!

This is also one of the great advantages of the Lakers!

When the Thunder entered the playoffs for the first time, Brooks let Qin Feng play 48 minutes in each game, and the Lakers were exhausted...

Now, it's the Lakers' turn to use Qin Feng's physical strength to exhaust the Thunder.

Really 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi! !
