Legend of Tomorrow

Game 2 of the Lakers vs. Thunder series continues at Staples Center.

Before the game started, fans on the Internet held a turtle slaughtering meeting for Westbrook. Some netizens edited all the offenses between him and Guo Xu into a highlight. Everyone can clearly see what level the two are facing. defense.

When dealing with Harden, Guo Xu stayed behind. When dealing with Wei Shao, he just hid and walked away, thinking about life on the side. In this way, Wei Shao still made a lot of shots from COSCO.

Wei Shao's defense against Guo Xu failed even more. Before the game, many people believed that Wei Shao's physical fitness was not inferior to Guo Xu's and that he was one of the most suitable point guards to defend him. However, he was slapped in the face with 102 points.

Normally, the two point guards should be facing each other directly, but when Guo Xu scores, Wei Shao rarely appears in the video. Guo Xu often makes misplaced breakthroughs during counterattacks, so how many times did Wei Shao miss someone in the entire game?

Fewer people think Wei Shao is a superstar, and more people believe he is a cancer.

After the start of the second game, Guo Xu mainly attracted double teams and distributed the ball, and his teammates took more shots. On the defensive end, everyone, including Guo Xu, began to defend seriously.

Guo Xu defends Westbrook on the outside. Westbrook will be double-teamed near the penalty area if he breaks through through the screen. At least two of the Lakers' big men shrink and let Taj Gibson, Tristan Thompson, and Jerami Grant take action.

The Lakers' offensive tactics are very simple. Guo Xu, Durant, and Adams form a triangle on one side. As long as Guo Xu or Durant are double-teamed, there will be an opening. The Thunder inside players will switch out and Adams will catch the ball and use his body to shoot in the penalty area, with a higher hit rate.

Even if the Thunder players rely on rotation to defend the strong side, the Lakers' Big Three can quickly transfer the ball to the weak side. As long as the ball is passed fast enough, it is easy to create open shots.

Guo Xu's playing style is very flexible. The triangle offense can change into the Eagle offense at any time. He can find cover from the bottom line and the side to cut the ball and layup. He can also run to the other corner to catch the ball or play in singles.

Booker's job is very simple. When Guo Xu is on the other side, he stands still in the corner to attract the defense; when Guo Xu slips to the baseline, he immediately gives up the corner, runs up the line to attract the defense, and can also catch the ball. Make a transition and pass the ball to Guo Xu from a closer position.

If there is space, Booker can also catch the ball and throw it. This year, his shooting percentage is not low and he is averaging double figures per game.

Wei Shao's shots in the first quarter were all under interference. He made 3 of 7 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Guo Xu made 3 of 3 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 14 points and 6 assists, leaving Waiters in foul trouble.

Center Adams also broke out, making 5 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 11 points and 5 rebounds.

In the first quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by 20 points, 38-18.

In the substitute contest in the second quarter, Tyronn Lue planned to kill the Thunder today. Instead of sending Harrell, who has a single style of play and stronger impact, he used big man Zubac who is better at defending the penalty area.

Harrell didn't play well in the last game. The opponent discovered his weakness and blocked the air cutting route so that he couldn't rush forward and defended him.

When Guo Xu was resting, the Lakers' substitute guard played pick-and-roll and was unable to attract double-teams. If you want Harrell to perform well, you have to arrange for him to play with Guo Xu, so that he will become a stocky version of Stoudemire.

Tyronn Lue had a way to strengthen the offense of the bench lineup. He gave Durant a 5-minute rest in the first quarter and came out to lead the bench in the second quarter.

The Lakers' defensive tactics are still a zone defense, shrinking and guarding the penalty area, making it difficult for Wei Shao to break through. Someone on the outside follows him to keep his distance, forcing him to shoot from mid- to long-range.

This job was handed over to veteran Wade.

Not only can he defend Wei Shao, but his own offense is also not bad. He broke through twice and scored layups, and once broke through to attract a tip-up ball and assisted Zubac to easily score in the penalty area.

Before this season, Wade had never suffered a loss against Wei Shao. He had better statistics and a higher shooting percentage. He often taught Wei Shao how to behave when he was young. Now he can still score, but his playing time has decreased.

When Wei Shao plays the pick-and-roll, Tucker switches defense very quickly. Even if he successfully breaks through the basket, there is still a 216cm big man waiting. New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Mobile version: https:/

Wei Shao had a hard time breaking through, mostly making jump shots. He passed the ball to his teammates, and Kanter, who played well in offense, was also blocked. What's worse is that the Thunder's defense has obvious loopholes and cannot prevent the Lakers' offense.

Five minutes later, the difference between the two sides widened to 26 points, and the Lakers' substitutes also had the upper hand.

Durant attracted the defense and distributed the ball. He played relatively conservatively in the first 5 minutes and scored two points.

When the Thunder players saw Guo Xu playing, they guessed that he would be the main attacker and guarded him closely. As a result, Guo Xu kept passing the ball, Durant showed off his power to catch and shoot, and Alex Ablins scored 9 points in a mid-range single.

It was a mistake for the Thunder to let Ablins serve as a small forward to fight Durant. He is 198cm tall and weighs only 86kg.

The Thunder double-teamed Durant, and opportunities appeared in other positions. Guo Xu scored 10 points in a single quarter and also sent 3 assists. starter

Tucker made three three-pointers in this quarter. He is often the target of being left out. His three-pointers in the playoffs are more stable than in the regular season and he has a big heart.

At halftime, the Lakers led 76 to 35 by 41 points.

In the third quarter, Durant showed off his power again. In the triangle offensive system, he could always get easy singles opportunities. In positional battles, he is responsible for the main attack. No matter who he faces, he always catches the ball with his back, dribbles twice, then turns around and scores consecutive mid-range shots. He can't defend without double-teaming. A swingman can't block him, but a big man can break through with the ball.

Durant's dribbling skills are very good. He can make moves like a defender to change directions, and use his height and wingspan to force a layup. If the opponent takes off slowly, he will not be able to cover him.

During the counterattack, Guo Xu and Durant went down together. The Thunder players didn't know who to guard. The Lakers had two people who were unable to solve the one-on-one game. The game was really impossible to guard.

Durant scored 18 points in a single quarter, played a total of 31 minutes, made 13 of 18 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Guo Xu also played 31 minutes, making 10 of 12 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, scoring 34 points and 13 assists, and did not grab a rebound for two consecutive games.

Adams made 9 of 11 shots and 2 of 5 free throws, scoring a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.

There was no need for the starters to play in the final quarter. The Lakers already led the Thunder by 57 points and the game entered garbage time.

Wei Shao played the first three quarters, making 10 of 28 shots, 2 of 11 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. He failed to score a triple-double and had 5 turnovers.

In the final quarter, both sides sent substitutes to play, but the Thunder still couldn't beat them. Wei Shao and Sters couldn't make it, and they didn't even have anyone who could break through.

Thunder backup point guard Samaki Christon is one of those low-second-round picks who can be eliminated by the league at any time. After Durant left, the Thunder lacked attraction to free market stars and could only use such people as Wei Shao's substitute. During the regular season, they also had Norris Cole, who was injured in the second half.

This Thunder is much weaker than the parallel world, with poor offense and even worse defense. If there weren't too many bad teams in the Western Conference, they wouldn't be able to make the playoffs.

The Lakers' bench is led by Felton and Dunleavy. VanVleet, Harrell, and Zubac come up for training. They can also combine inside and outside.

The Victoria's Secret fans watching the live broadcast of the game didn't know how to excuse their idol Wei Shao. The Thunder were beaten from beginning to end. Although the substitute lineup was also beaten, it was still lighter in comparison.

At the end of the game, 145-79, the Lakers defeated the Thunder by 66 points at home, setting the largest point difference record in NBA playoff history!
