Chapter 199 Bitter Fruit

"Get out of my way!"

Kobe glanced out of the corner of his eye, and when he realized that it was his own, he immediately broke through. Durant wanted to chase and defend, but unfortunately, the person who made the wall blocked him so hard that he couldn't dodge it at all.

After rushing into the inside of the Thunder, Kobe took a shot. Although Ibaka made up the defense, there was no one to defend him. Kobe's offensive skills were fully displayed.A fake move deceived the opponent, and then he stepped lightly to one side, and hit the board with one hand into the basket.

This is the difference between Kobe and Harden. According to Tang Qian, Kobe had a chance to foul this ball, but he gave it up and just asked for a clean 2-pointer.

It's not that Kobe doesn't make fouls, it can only be said that under normal circumstances, he doesn't have this subconscious.

98-94，湖人队落后4分，距离比赛结束还有1分59秒。

On the defensive end, the Thunder made a mid-range shot from Durant. With Adu's height and wingspan, it is almost impossible to have a frontal block.He is more difficult to defend than Tracy McGrady's shots back then.

100-94.

"Paul, I will go up to help Kobe later, and you will be in charge of the inside." Tang Qian said to Gasol while running to the frontcourt.

"It's better for me to cover this matter. Kobe and I have a good understanding, and I have a certain mid-range ability."

"No." Tang Qian shook his head and refused: "Your hard rebounding ability is better than mine. The most important thing is that you have excellent singles ability at the basket. Standing at the basket by you can ensure the diversity of the team's offense. Against the Thunder, you have to play inside and out, don't you?"

"So let me do this kind of work. If you stay in the low position, it will be more helpful to the team."

"Um, okay then." Gasol nodded, knowing that Tang Qian was right.

"Bryant, I'll help you with the pick-and-roll later, I'm big enough, you can pass others calmly, and Paul is at the basket, your options will increase." Tang Qian said to Kobe again.

"I don't need a pick-and-roll..." Kobe was about to reject Tang Qian's proposal subconsciously, but the latter quickly said: "Bryant, win the game first. I haven't won against the Thunder this season. I can't be caught. Did they sweep the regular season?"

Hearing this, Kobe struggled a few times, and finally chose to agree.

Because as Tang Qian said, being swept by the Thunder was unacceptable to him.

Moreover, he wants to win, not to lose.

Sessions almost became a passing machine in this game. He had no desire to attack at all. Once halftime passed, he handed over the basketball in his hand to No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant. .

State is something that is difficult to adjust within a game, let alone the level of Ramon Sessions, so in this game, Kobe did not count on this "new point guard" at all.

It was Durant who came up to defend Kobe alone. For Kobe, in a situation like this in the past, he had to do it alone.

But tonight, his physical energy consumption is too great, and his movement frequency has dropped to the bottom. In order to win, he can only agree to Tang Qian's suggestion.

In the process of one-on-one, enable teammates to pick and roll.

bang~
Another high-quality pick-and-roll, Durant was completely blocked by Tang Qian's tall figure, unable to move forward.

"Replenish defense! Remediate defense against Kobe!" Durant knew that he could no longer keep up, so he turned his head and called his teammates.

Don't even think about laying up this ball again, I Ibaka will block you!
The ability to assist in defense has always been the pride of the Congo hero. He is not a traditional No. 5, and his height is only 6 feet 10 inches. This is definitely a short center.But Ibaka has his own advantages. First, although he is not 210cm tall, his movement speed and explosive power are extremely strong, coupled with his excellent bounce, so he has no problem matching up any position in a short period of time.The second is the decline of traditional centers, which allows centers such as Ibaka to find an opportunity to turn around. On the contrary, the disadvantage in height has become an excellent switcher, and is more adaptable to the fast pace of modern basketball.Third, Ibaka's ability to protect the rim is indeed top-notch, and he has a terrible sense of blocking. This season, he averaged 3.7 blocks per game and directly surpassed No. 21.5 times. The average number of blocked shots in 48 minutes reached 6.5 times per game. In the past 10 years, I am afraid that only then Marcus Camby can fight with him.

So in the face of Kobe Bryant's attack, Ibaka had no fear, and directly defended him.

Kobe's physical fitness, after the double corrosion of years and injuries, has long been no longer at its peak. If he ran to confront Ibaka head-on, he might not be able to gain much advantage.You know, the Congo hero is one year younger than Durant and Westbrook, and his athletic ability is at its peak at this moment. With a jump of 36.5 inches, a wingspan of 226 cm and a standing reach of about 290 cm, he can be called a defensive monster. , This also explains why Ibaka's height is not high, but the inside defensive ability is so strong.

Kobe's physical fitness has declined sharply now. Will he confront Ibaka head-on?

The answer is of course NO~ Kobe glided in the air, and after tricking Ibaka, he also attracted the attention of Perkins at the basket.Then, with a backhand through, the orange basketball went straight to the Thunder's basket, and finally landed firmly in the hands of Pau Gasol.Faced with such a good opportunity, how could the Spaniard let it go, a one-handed dunk helped Kobe's statistics add another assist.

100-96, the score difference came to 4 points again.

1 minute and 21 seconds left.

"Ibaka, you have to follow up later, the No. 29 pick-and-roll is too deadly." Durant said to Ibaka before serving.

"Well, no problem, don't worry." Congo Iron Man patted his chest and said.

This ball must be defended!
Tang Qian looked at the time, and silently calculated in his heart. It is impossible for Westbrook and Adu to defend himself, especially Durant. Even if the peak Marshal Zhang comes, there is nothing to do with him.Therefore, we must use our brains.

How to use your brain?
Tang Qian thought for a while, and decided to gamble on luck.

How to bet on luck?Immediately revealed.

After the Thunder's lineup fell, Tang Qian deliberately sold a loophole. He completely vacated his defender Perkins.What is this concept?If this kind of ball is successfully scored by the opponent, it is Tang Qian's responsibility alone.As a substitute rotation, this kind of mistake is the most unforgivable head coach.

But Tang Qian wanted to win, so he could only gamble.

Who made the Thunder the biggest sufferer for the Lakers this season and even in the future?
Therefore, Tang Qian understood the meaning of this battle.

Must win.

Domestically, Chao.Ting Sports Station.

Yu Jia said: "Oh, Tang Qian has left a big hole here!"

"This ball was too careless. This kind of mistake shouldn't be!" Su Qun shook her head and said after seeing it.

TNT Live Room.

Kenny Smith looked at the rebroadcast screen and said: "This omission is too great. Our Eastern friends still lack defensive experience!"

"Eh~ It's such a big leak? Isn't it a bit unreal? Even amateur players rarely make such big mistakes?" Charles Barkley himself used to play inside, so he felt that Tang Qian's actions Somewhat abnormal.

"Maybe he was distracted? Maybe he was thinking about China? Who can tell? Anyway, what we see now is that he missed people, and he missed people a lot!" Kenny Smith's words let Barkley couldn't refute for a while, because judging from the current picture, it cannot be said that the former is wrong.

Is it?

It's just... I always feel that something is wrong?
Westbrook was planning to hit the ball himself, but when he saw that there was such a big gap on Perkins' side, he immediately flicked his right hand and stuffed the basketball in his hand.

At this distance, that oriental boy should not be able to interfere with me.

In this case, then I will...

Kendrick Perkins hits the shot, and the ball comfortably leaves his hands, heading for the Lakers basket.

If the ball can be scored, then the Thunder's lead will reach 6 points.

Well, he made the shot, so... now!
Tang Qian had been waiting for this for a long time, and with a kick on his back foot, he rushed towards Kendrick Perkins like lightning.

That speed completely surpassed the movement speed of a center forward.

Well, what a quick response!But it's too late to look back now, isn't it?

Kendrick Perkins looked at Tang Qian and thought to himself.

Is it too late?For ordinary center forwards, it was indeed too late, but for the current Tang Qian, it was just right.

The bronze agility card made his body agility 20% higher than normal, and it was this 20% bonus that allowed Tang Qian to do things that he couldn't do normally.One step, two steps, three steps, Tang Qian's movements are already very fast, but in the eyes of the audience, he is still a little short of the effective defensive distance.

But wait, Tang Qian was still some distance away from the basketball, so he bent his knees and jumped up.

This... what is this?What is he doing?
The audience was at a loss.

Only Charles Barkley, who was in the TNT live broadcast room, reacted first, and he shouted loudly: "He is going to block a shot! This is a high-altitude block, Ralph Sampson's block stunt!"

"Ralph Sampson? Charles, are you kidding me?" Before Kenny Smith could finish speaking, a heavy "snap" sound from the broadcast screen made him quickly shut his mouth.

"I finally know why the 'Assassin' calls him 'smash'. The feeling of this guy blocking shots is very similar to that of Ralph Sampson back then! He is over 7 feet tall, but he still has excellent athletic ability. This kind of agility and flexibility, just like an outside player!" Kenny Smith said again after he slowed down.

"Yes, although this guy's offensive ability is a mess, but with this unique skill, he is enough to enter the end of the first round of the draft. The 7-footer is so agile, it's like watching a movie!" Charles Barkley Nodding in agreement.

"Oh wait, Charles, Serge Ibaka got the basketball! He's going to dunk!"

"Oh~gosh~ This Eastern boy blocked two consecutive goals! Perkins and Ibaka were both caught by him in one round!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly in the live broadcast room.

"kill.shot~absolute kill.shot~this kid's ability to block shots is really incredible! His physical agility is comparable to that of Ralph Sampson back then! I didn't wear his jersey tonight for nothing!" Charles Barkley also said excitedly in the live broadcast room, this is the style of American commentary, which is quite subjective.

Under Tang Qian's strong block, the Lakers got a chance to play a fast break. Sessions controlled the ball, and Kobe Ci Shiping left and right, forming an arrow offensive.

But the Thunder team claims to be the most talented, is it a vain name?Only two blue figures were seen, running wildly from the backcourt of the Lakers, the speed was as fast as a frightened bird.Here it can be seen that the wings of the Lakers are aging. They were obviously the first to go down, but they were chased by their opponents. Westbrook relied on his explosive power, accelerated in the air, and strongly blocked Ci Shiping's layup.

Fortunately, the ball was followed by Ramon Sessions, which saved the Lakers' possession of the ball.

He handed the ball to Kobe at the top arc. After Kobe received the ball, he signaled to slow down and make full use of the recounted 24 seconds of attack time.

Thunder or Kevin. Durant to single-handedly Kobe Bryant.

Just as Kobe was about to move, Tang Qian's figure came up again, but just now Ibaka was reminded by Durant, and immediately accelerated to stick close to him, preventing Tang Qian from having the space and time to easily pick and roll.

"Don't even try to go to the high pick-and-roll smoothly, kid! I'll keep an eye on you!" Ibaka was talking, when the figure in front of him disappeared, as if his entanglement and clinging were all gestures against the air.

Why, why is this kid's movements so flexible? ? ?

At the moment when Ibaka was a little confused, with a "snap", Kevin Durant was blocked by Tang Qian again. Kobe took the opportunity to pass calmly, and then jumped directly to the left three-point line.

brush~
The key ball was hit, 100-99, with 32 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers trailed the Oklahoma City Thunder by just one point.
