Chapter 294 Unexpected Scoring Point

After Taylor Swift sang the song, the competition officially started. To be honest, Taylor was dismissive of this kind of small business performance, but she chose to continue for the sake of "fake public affairs and selfish interests".

In this game, Kobe entered the scoring mode as soon as he came up. He swept the first 8 points of the Lakers with a pass of "X.***.T", and his shooting percentage was very good, playing an absolute role in leading the way.Not only that, he also once again controlled Westbrook on the defensive end, allowing the latter to regain the scoring efficiency of the previous games, and the iron city has become a dog scum.Gasol also worked hard. Although due to his foot injury, his rebounding ability declined a lot, but he defended the Lakers inside with two consecutive blocks, making Serge, who got 5 offensive rebounds in this quarter. Ibaka made only 8 of 3 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 37.5%.For inside players, this is already a fairly successful defense.

But even so, the Lakers fell behind after the first quarter.

There are three reasons. The first is that the Lakers team's shooting percentage is extremely ugly. Gasol made 6 of 1 shots, Bynum made 3 of 0 shots, Sessions made 3 of 0 shots, and Steve Blake made 1 of 0 shots. , Tang Qian made 1 of 1 shots.In other words, except for Kobe, the rest of the team fell into a scoring shortage for the whole quarter, and the sound of iron hammering continued.The second is that the rebounds were blown to scum. Compared with the team's rebounds, the Lakers had 10 rebounds in a single quarter. What about the Thunder?20 rebounds in a single quarter!More than double the Lakers!In this case, if Kobe hadn't scored 15 points in a single quarter and his shooting percentage was as high as 66.7%, he would have lost extremely ugly.The third is that the gap in the bench lineup is too large. Kobe wants to defend against Westbrook, which has already involved all his defensive attention. As for the outsiders, he can no longer care about it. He can only watch James Harden show off. Shenwei, with sudden penalties and 100% shooting, scored 7 points.

Westbrook made 7 of 2 shots in this quarter, and his shooting percentage was less than 3%. It is not wrong to eat the opponent's outside line.

21-26，湖人队落后了对手5分球，唐潜本节比赛上场2分11秒，得到了2分1个篮板球1次助攻的个人数据。

"How? Jeff, did I say it? The Lakers can't beat the Thunder!" Stan Van Gundy said with a big laugh.

"Don't worry, Stan, there are three quarters left in the game, anything can happen." Jeff Van Gundy said calmly, not in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll see when you can speak hard!" Stan Van Gundy sarcastically said to his younger brother.

"Bryant, how do you feel? Do you want to come down and rest for a while?" Seeing Kobe sweating profusely, Mike Brown suggested, because Kobe played too hard in the first quarter, and scored 15 points in a single quarter. , and completely blocked the opponent Westbrook. This kind of high-intensity offensive and defensive integration consumed the old Kobe's huge physical strength.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Kobe's answer was still simple.

"Okay." Mike Brown nodded, then looked at the rest of the Lakers and said, "Come on! What the hell did you play in the first quarter! Didn't you have dinner? Throw that damn basketball Go in! Got it!"

In the second quarter, as Kobe's touch slowly declined, the Lakers adopted an inside attack mode. Mike Brown still has this basic tactical ability.Fortunately, the Lakers finally recovered their touch inside. Gasol made 3 shots from the field, Bynum made 3 shots from the field, and Metta World Peace made 3 shots from the field. In the second quarter, three Lakers players shot. The hit rate reached 3%, 2-2 in a single quarter, and 100 points were recovered. At halftime, 30-28, only 2 points behind and entered the second half.

"Damn it! That fucking referee! Called technical fouls consecutively! He must have collected money! It must be!!!" As soon as he returned to the locker room, Ci Shiping was furious: "After the game, we must report League Office Complaint!!!”

Why is Ci Shiping so angry?The reason is simple. In the last 30 seconds, the Thunder made four consecutive penalties and directly surpassed the Lakers' score.Why four consecutive free throws?Metta Shiping made a tactical foul on Tsapo Sefolosha who was going down fast. This is a very normal thing. In professional leagues, in order to prevent opponents from dunking fast, it is a correct decision to choose a tactical foul.However, the home referee of the Thunder team gave Ci Shiping a physical foul, so that the Thunder team will get the power of two free throws, which is quite different from the original intention of Ci Shiping's tactical foul.

Of course Metta World Peace quit, but someone reacted faster and more intensely than him. He was No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant.Such a critical game, such a critical moment, you actually gave the Lakers a "violation foul"?This is simply an act of manipulating the trend of the game!In addition, the Lakers managed to overtake the score before halftime. Under such circumstances, how could Kobe not be angry?So instead of Ci Shiping, he directly stepped forward to question the referee.

But what Kobe didn't expect was that the referee directly adopted the "zero tolerance" policy and gave him a technical foul. Suddenly, the Thunder became "three free throws and one throw"!
Seeing the team leader being punished for standing up for himself, Ci Shiping, who has a fiery personality, was also upset, and walked forward together, questioning the referee.

The referee was also decisive, and didn't listen to Ci Shiping BB at all, raising his hand was another technical foul, and the Lakers instantly became "four free throws"!
Seeing that Kobe was about to explode, Gasol immediately stopped the former, so as not to anger the "fair" referee again.

So, there was this scene just now.

Fortunately, the Thunder missed a three-pointer in the last attack. Otherwise, scoring 7 points in one round would have dealt a huge blow to the Lakers.

"Forget it, even if the referee sided, we still have to win this game!" Kobe said with a gloomy face, "We must win!"

Ci Shiping also made money. According to NBA rules, physical fouls and technical fouls do not overlap. Otherwise, at that moment, he would have to end with honor and be sent out of Chesapeake Energy Stadium.

The current Lakers can't do without Ci Shiping. Although Ci Shiping seems to be blown up by Durant in this round of the series, but without him, the Lakers will only be blown up even more miserably.At least with Mercy World Peace, Kevin Durant did not dare to break through unscrupulously, and the internal pressure on the Lakers was relatively small.Otherwise, Westbrook + Du Shao + Harden will attack the inside continuously, even if Duncan comes, it will not be able to hold.

In the second quarter of the game, Tang Qian did not get playing time.

At halftime, Taylor sang another song at center court, and Game [-] of the Lakers-Thunder series officially continued.

In this quarter, according to Mike Brown's idea, he continued to attack the inside first. After all, the inside players were in good condition in the second quarter, but he paid the price for his wrong decision-making.In the third quarter, Anzhu's hand feeling plummeted. Under the interference of Ibaka, he actually started with 4 for 0.This time, the Thunder seized the opportunity, using the athletic ability of their lineup, frantically pushing fast breaks, and frantically playing fast offensive and defensive transitions. In the words of Scott Brooks, it is to use fast tempo to drag the old Los Angeles Lakers to death.

A few minutes later, the score between the two sides became 51-60, and the score difference widened to 9 points. The Lakers missed all their shots for nearly 3 and a half minutes, which gave the Thunder a chance to play.No kidding, this season, the two teams that play the best "one wave" in the league, one is Miami, and the other is the current Oklahoma City Thunder.

Seeing this situation, Kobe came to take over the game again, "Shushuashuashua~", consecutive strong shots from other players broke the Lakers' scoring shortage in an instant. The Black Mamba this season is still capable of doing it. to all of this.But because Kobe put most of his energy into the offensive end, his control over the defensive end was immediately weakened. How could Russell Westbrook let go of this opportunity and immediately took advantage of the situation to attack, filling the gap in this quarter? Poor vacancy.

In the third quarter, Kobe made 9 of 6 shots and 2 free throws, scoring 15 points. The offensive firepower was very strong and the scoring efficiency was also very high.However, due to the weakened defensive control, this allowed Westbrook to take advantage of the loopholes. The Thunder's No. 0 also took the opportunity to score a high score of 12 points, and his shooting percentage was no worse than Kobe.

In the final stage, Westbrook also made Bynum a defensive foul, allowing the latter to receive his fifth personal foul of the field.

However, the Lakers were lucky. Westbrook missed both free throws, which made the score in the single quarter finally fixed at 26-29 points.The Lakers 77-83, 6 points behind their opponents.

Tang Qian still didn't have the chance to play in this quarter, because Mike Brown's old problem was committed again. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness on the field, he began to continuously squeeze the physical fitness of the main players and did not give the substitute players the chance to play.The five main players of the Lakers, except Sessions, played more than 30 minutes in the three quarters, among which Kobe and Gasol were the most, reaching 34 minutes.That is to say, for the entire three quarters, the two of them only rested for about 2 minutes. This is undoubtedly a huge physical test for a veteran in his thirties.

In addition to the playing time of the previous games, the Lakers' starting lineup and physical energy have reached the verge of almost exhaustion.

"Everyone calm down, everyone calm down, it's no big deal, we are only 6 points behind, we still have time, we still have a chance!" Mike Brown said his "crazy" motivational words on the bench said, but obviously, judging by the expression on his face, he was about to lose his temper.In this state, his language does not have the ability to appease the team at all.

The Lakers, at this moment, felt the heavy pressure. In the entire Chesapeake Energy Stadium, the shouts of mountains and tsunamis were like boulders, and people were almost out of breath.

With this atmosphere, the Lakers stepped onto the court for the fourth quarter.

Mike Brown didn't know if he was in a daze or something, but he sent the master who had committed five fouls on. The head coach of the Thunder team saw that there was such a good thing, and immediately made a gesture on the sidelines to let the team strengthen the breakthrough , Strengthen the damage to the inside of the Lakers.Soon, Scott Brooks' tactics worked. With James Harden making a layup, Bynum made a defensive foul and was forcibly sent off by the referee.

The All-Star center of the Lakers just dangled like this, and it is impossible to make any contribution to the team after walking down.

His personal data in this game is also fixed at 10 points and 4 rebounds.

Mike Brown also seemed to be "scared" by the situation. He panicked and called Tang Qian to let the Lakers No. 29 play instead, and he didn't explain any tactical instructions to the latter.

Bang~
One of two free throws was made, and in Harden's curse, his second free throw hit the basket.

77-84, Tang Qian protected the defensive rebound.

He was affected by the "inner demon" in this game, and his competitive state dropped by 30%, which was simply a catastrophe.

If there is no ability card subsidy, I am afraid that even Nick Collison of the Thunder can easily suppress Tang Qian.

Because tonight, the Thunder's momentum was like a rainbow, and almost everyone was fighting for the first place. In this way, everyone's competitive state was much higher than that of the regular season.And this is commonly known as the playoff state.

But Tang Qian didn't panic too much, because before he went on the court, he had already thought about how to play this game.

Now the Lakers are weak offensively and lack firepower, so Kobe is easy to be double-teamed, and there is no easy shot inside.In this way, the Thunder's defense will become more and more targeted, and it will shrink and shrink, paralyzing the Lakers' overall offense.Someone has to stand up!Otherwise, the offensive space cannot be opened, and Kobe can't handle 2-3 defenders.

And as a big center over seven feet, how should Tang Qian stand out?
Rebound?block? NO~ As far as his competitive state is tonight, don't even think about showing it!

What should I do?
Of course it's... a three-pointer!
Ordinary people may think that Tang Qian's brain is convulsed when he shoots a three-pointer, but only he knows that tonight is okay.

Tonight, I will be a "three-point center"! ! !

The Lakers dribbled and attacked. It could be seen that Sessions was in a bad state of mind. Perhaps in his mind, this game, this round of the series, was over.Kobe wants the ball, but the Thunder are very tough on his defense. James Harden is desperately pestering him, even if he can barely get the ball, it will immediately attract two or even three teams from the Thunder Anyway, other people on the Lakers now can't make a long shot for him, so the Oklahoman can double-team Kobe at will, leaving no room for the Black Mamba.

At this moment, Tang Qian ran over slowly. He was the last player of the Lakers to run past the half court, which was quite different from his usual enthusiasm.

"Ramon, pass it to me, I'm empty~" Hearing a shout in his ear, Sessions was confused and passed the ball in his hand. Anyway, in his eyes, as long as it is passed to the Lakers Team members, that's fine.

As for who it is, whether it is suitable, and whether it has the range, then he is too lazy to think about it.

"Huh~ Sessions actually passed the ball to that Chinese? This is really a funny pass~ What can a [-]-foot center do outside the three-point line? Could it be possible to shoot a three-pointer?"

"This is a harbinger of the impending collapse of the Lakers. I bet it will not exceed 3 minutes, and this game will enter garbage time~"

Just when the Thunder team's two on-site commentators "blind BB", the Lakers shot on the 29th.
