Chapter 195 Perkins is confused
From the third quarter, the situation changed suddenly.

The physical advantage of the Thunder's two juniors gradually showed up. The weak wings of the Lakers couldn't resist the Thunder's crazy impact at all.Kobe could hold one but not two. Sessions was almost beaten by Westbrook. In front of the super athletic Westbrook, Sessions was like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, and was beaten instantly He was riddled with wounds and bruises all over his body.

And at the small forward position, the Lakers also suffered a lot. After Ci Shiping got older, he was fine against a powerful striker, but he was easy to suffer against a flexible and athletic striker.What's more, Durant, an "alternative" striker genius who only emerges once in 20 years?
Kobe was almost exhausted in the face of the attack and defense of the wing full of loopholes. Too many supplementary defenses and assistance defenses caused his physical strength to drop rapidly. Originally, he still had a 45.5% shooting rate in the first half. Going 6 for 0.The Thunder's way of dealing with Kobe is very simple. Go to Durant to pester the opponent, so that Kobe has no room to make an easy shot. Once he gets inside, there are Perkins and Ibaka to make up the defense. This kind of defense can be called iron. Barrel, let the nearly 34-year-old Kobe, who is physically exhausted, play hard, and the effect can be imagined.

Fortunately, An Zhu made 4 of 2 shots and helped the Lakers score some points, but even so, he also paid the price of being blocked 2 times.

This season's Thunder team is very fierce, coupled with explosive talent attributes, it is almost unstoppable in the entire Western Conference.

After five minutes of the game, Mike Brown was forced to call a timeout.

59-53, in just 5 minutes, the Lakers went from leading by 5 points in the first half to trailing by 6 points, with a gap of 11 points in the middle, in the blink of an eye, as if the Lakers' lead in the first half was just a dream. Never showed up.

The so-called overflowing talent refers to the 2011-2012 Thunder team.

From the main force to the substitute, all of them are birds and beasts, and their physical talents are absolutely the best in the league.

"You guys are playing too hastily. Let the tempo down and attack with the positional warfare we are best at, so as to regain control of the game!" Mike Brown said it was easy, but if you press the tempo, people will agree ? The Thunder team in the 2011-2012 season was a flying team, everyone seemed to have bombs strapped to their feet, and the rhythm would be brought into the air with any effort.

So the current situation is that the Lakers can't slow down even if they want to slow down.

Fighting against this Thunder team consumes at least 2 times more stamina than ordinary opponents!
Coupled with the aging of the Lakers lineup, it is really stretched to fight against such a young army.

In order to maintain the possibility of winning, Mike Brown had to adopt substitution tactics. Kobe Bynum, Mercy World, Pau Gasol all went off to rest, leaving only Sessions on the court.

For the first time, Kobe felt the limit of his physical ability, and this feeling was something he had never felt before.

"Hot, Troy, Matt, Blake, you four go up and try to help the main players get some rest time, do you understand?" Mike Brown began to assign tasks.

In fact, the cause of all this has nothing to do with him.

In Cleveland, Mike Brown likes to die. He is the main force, and he has brought this habit to Los Angeles.

But he also didn't think about it, what was the situation in Cleveland back then?What about Los Angeles?The Cavaliers James was only in his early 20s, Larry Hughes was not yet 30, not to mention Drew Gooden and Maurice Williams, both were around 24 to 25 years old.Since he took over the Cavaliers, the main lineup is quite young and very dynamic.But what is the current situation of the Lakers?Kobe is going to be 34 soon, Gasol is going to be 32 soon, Ci Shiping is 32, and there was an old fisher Fisher who was 37 before. Except for Bynum who is still a young man, the other four starters are all older players.Even if a Ramon Sessions was brought in recently, he couldn't perfectly integrate into the team's lineup due to running-in problems.With this hand, you have to play to your death. Playing the main force is no less than killing chickens and taking eggs, fishing in a dry lake, and the hidden dangers can only break out in the second half of the season, and it can't be controlled.

However, except for the coaching style, Mike Brown has no choice but to do this. Since the Lakers left Lamar Odom, the entire bench line is weak. I thought Troy Murphy could be entrusted with important tasks, but it turned out It was nothing but joy, and the Lakers' bench didn't get any improvement.Coupled with the trade in the middle of the season, the Lakers, who were already lacking in lineup depth, made it even worse, and it was difficult for the main starters to gain the upper hand.Under such circumstances, it is a miracle that the Lakers can still reach the top four in the Western Conference.

After Mike Brown finished speaking, he arranged a few more simple tactics, but anyone could see that he changed into this lineup just to delay time and let the main starters take a breather.After they catch their breath, go on to die. Fuck.

This was what Mike Brown had in mind.

Because facing the most talented team in the league, he can't think of any tricks up his sleeve.

Seeing the Lakers make a substitution, Thunder coach Brooks also applied for a substitution. In fact, in terms of allocating playing time, Scott Brooks planned very well, far better than Mike Brown.In the coaching resume, Scott Brooks also won the best head coach of the year, and it is a coincidence that the year he took the COY was behind Mike Brown. Mike Brown was the COY of the 2008-2009 season. COY in the 2009-2010 season, on the basis of no championship, their level is not afraid of anyone else.

In China, the studio of Chao.Ting Sports Station.

"Okay, we saw that the Lakers have changed their lineup. They are replaced by Tang Qian, Murphy, Barnes and Steve Blake. Oh? The Thunder have also changed, with Shuang Shao and Ibaka off the field Rest, the replacements are James Harden, Derek Fisher, and Nick Collison. This is a new lineup, and the Thunder have rarely lined up like this before!" Yu Jia looked at it Rebroadcast the signal and speak.

"Well, the Thunder is resting the main lineup. I think Coach Scott Brooks has done a good job at this point. Look at the average playing time of Westbrook Ibaka and Durant. Among them, Ibaka At least only averaged about 27 minutes per game, followed by Westbrook, who only averaged 35 minutes per game. Among them, only Durant reached 38 minutes. But this year Durant is so old, he is not yet 24 years old, and As for Kobe of the Lakers, he is almost 34, ten years older than Durant, but his average playing time is about the same as Durant, which must explain that there is something wrong with Coach Mike Brown's substitution." Su Qun Following Yu Jia's words, he is actually not too optimistic about this year's Lakers, which he once mentioned in his column.

"Then what does Teacher Su think of the outcome of this match?" Yu Jia asked.

"It is estimated that the Lakers will be difficult to win. The depth of the bench is not at the same level as the Thunder. It is unlikely that the main lineup alone will overwhelm the opponent. Because I have said before, the starting lineup of the Lakers is not enough. Years ago, it is difficult to maintain long-term offensive and defensive oppression. In fact, even Bynum is not a person with particularly good physical strength. If the Lakers want to beat their opponents, someone must stand up on the bench. In the past, there was Lamar Odom provides stable firepower, but now it is hard to say, Harden alone can redeem most of the points scored by the Lakers' bench, so it is very difficult for the Lakers to win tonight."

"What about Tang Qian? Can we look forward to his performance? In the last game, he achieved excellent statistics!" Yu Jia said.

"Well, Tang Qian is still a rookie after all. It's unrealistic to expect him to explode every game! Of course, as a Chinese, I still hope that Tang Qian can step forward and become the main force on the Lakers' bench."

"Well, the game is about to start, let's watch the game together."

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

"Derek, how are you recently? Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, we have become rivals." Tang Qian went over to say hello after seeing the figure of "Old Fish" Fisher.

"This is the NBA, this is the business field, you will gradually understand, but now, our Thunder team will defeat you and win tonight!" Fisher is the chairman of the NBA Players Union, so for this kind of The transaction incident was also taken lightly. Although it was difficult for him to accept the news at the time, after a long time, he gradually figured it out.Isn't it too ridiculous for a role player to talk about loyalty with an NBA team?
NBA is a business, this sentence is really wise.

"Okay, Derek, but we won't lose either." Tang Qian replied.

brush~
61-53, the Thunder Perkins made a close-range shot in front of Murphy, and the Thunder added 2 points.

"I'll guard him." Tang Qian said directly to Troy Murphy after Perkins scored a goal.

As soon as this sentence came out, Murphy's face beamed with joy, because it was too difficult for him to defend Perkins alone. First of all, in terms of tonnage and confrontation, the two were not in the same dimension.Perkins is 288+ pounds, while he is only about 245 pounds, and there is a huge gap in core strength between the two sides. Perkins wants to beat Murphy hard, not to mention drinking water and eating, and it is an F-level difficulty to hold on to death.

Furthermore, looking at Troy Murphy's entire career, he has never been a highly confrontational insider. It is not a problem to say that he is soft.

So Tang Qian's words were no less than a relief to him.

Looking at the Thunder's current lineup on the field, apart from Perkins, the only inside player left is Nick Collison. Although Nick Collison also has a tough playing style, compared to Perkins, he is Much gentler, just a standard white American insider.Troy Murphy found it easier to deal with this kind of insider who was also of Caucasian race.

As an opponent, after hearing Tang Qian's words, Perkins' heart trembled involuntarily, because he still remembered the scene of the last game against the Lakers.

Don't take it lightly, this oriental boy is not a good stubble!
Recalling the scenes of that game, Perkins said to himself secretly.

For the Lakers, Ramon Sessions missed a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll. With a "dang", the basketball hit the front of the basket high.

"Grab the basketball!"

Sessions yelled angrily. Obviously, his shooting touch tonight was not very good.

In an instant, the Thunder team huddled together under the basket. Tang Qian, Perkins, Collison, and Murphy were all ready to jump at the same time.

Activate it, Bronze Dexterity Card.

Tang Qian looked at the rebound and muttered silently in his heart.
