Chapter 337 Defensive Tactics

Kobe passed the ball to Ci Shiping, and Ci Shiping made a three-pointer against Durant. The No. 15 of the Lakers has this kind of "magic power".And the most important thing is that his brain "lacks a string", so no matter how big the scene is or the critical moment, he will not have the slightest flinch and fear.

87-99.

The Thunder's tactics are very simple. Since Westbrook feels good tonight, let him "go it alone." Even Kevin Durant won't say much about this point. The "Thunder Shuang Shao" are still close friends who have cooperated closely this season, so if Westbrook wants to attack, Durant will only take the initiative to cooperate and open up to create offensive space for the former.

The defender of the Lakers is naturally No. 24, Kobe Bryant.

Seeing Kobe standing in front of him, Russell Westbrook dribbled the ball and said, "Bryant, you are old and your legs and feet can't react well. You can't take advantage of defending me one-on-one." He This is said very confidently. It seems that the success of the singles just now injected Westbrook with endless self-confidence.

After all, in the past few seasons, as long as Kobe defended him alone, his shooting percentage would drop sharply, but this season, there has been a change.

The NBA has always been "the wave behind the Yangtze River pushes the wave ahead". Russell Westbrook, as a professional player, naturally understands this truth in his heart.Therefore, he believes that the time for him to defeat Kobe has arrived, and tonight's game will be the night when he completely defeats No. 24 in Los Angeles on the offensive end.

Although this year's ESPN rankings, ESPN has raised Kobe's position again, from seventh last year to sixth, but for the "self-proud" "Black Mamba", this number still carries a lot of pressure. Has an "insulting" nature.He still stubbornly believes that he is still a top three super player in the league.

And what about Russell Westbrook?It's only ranked ninth!He didn't pay much attention to it before!

How dare you challenge me head-on? ? ? ! ! !I……

Kobe originally wanted to arouse the consciousness of "fighting hard" again, but suddenly, a number floated in his mind, and then took a deep breath, but did not release the spirit of one.to.one.This fell into the eyes of Russell Westbrook, who thought that Kobe was backing down, so he moved his eyes and said bluntly: "You are old, you are no longer the invincible snake black mamba. "

"Since this is the case, just accept the coming of failure."

"Bryant! You are on the defensive end, you can no longer suppress me!"

"So... enjoy my back!"

Westbrook broke through again, and his speed is still extremely fast. In terms of explosive power, he is even much stronger than Derrick Rose.

Kobe's defensive awareness is fine, and he has made predictions, but as Westbrook said, it is useless to make predictions, because his aging body can no longer keep up with the conscious reaction.Therefore, Kobe's chances of winning are indeed very small by forcing a single defense against his opponent.However, this ball did not show anxiety on the face of No. 24 of the Lakers. Instead, it was unusually flat, and the pace was unhurried, so it followed it leisurely.

It was so easy to break through!Hmph, the "Black Mamba" is really dead!His defensive speed before was definitely not at this level!
This is the result of the alternation of the old and the new, the 96 golden generation, this is the end!

Russell Westbrook habitually went straight up and down without any fake moves. With a slight bend of his right foot, he flew high into the air.

Judging by his appearance, he is about to perform a straight-arm split.

When the Lakers are behind by a large score and are still on the road, this kind of performance of breaking through and dunking will be fatal to the morale of the team.Even in many cases, it is not uncommon to destroy the opposing team's resistance.

On the 29th, I hope you are not talking big!
Kobe watched Westbrook fly high and thought silently.

Because at this time, it is no longer possible for him to intervene.

What can be done is to trust insiders and teammates.

Tang Qian saw Westbrook heading towards the Lakers' basket, of course it was impossible to give way, so he chose a good time, and with one move, he rushed to his effective basket protection range.As for Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka, he didn't think much about it at all, because for the first time, No. 0 of the Thunder, it was impossible to pass the ball.

One is to look down on himself, and the other is to be conceited, so for this ball, he only needs to wholeheartedly resist the opponent's attack on the basket.

"Okay~Russell is flying~He has thrown off Kobe Bryant~Getting ready for a big slam dunk~"

However, a second later, Grant Lang, the Thunder's on-site commentator, stuck his throat, because... Tang Qian rose up like a huge wall, blocking the basket between Westbrook and the Lakers .Then, raise your palm and seal it away.

clap~~~
Russell Westbrook bets it's the most powerful rim block he's ever encountered.

When that palm passed, he immediately felt a huge force, like an overwhelming force, impacting on his right hand.

Then, the entire basketball burst into the air.

It was directly fanned out of the Lakers' three-point line.

"Return to defense! Return to defense immediately!" Kevin Durant's voice had just appeared, and with a "bang", the Thunder's basket erupted with a crisp sound.And there, there is a figure of the capital No. 24 floating around.

"Bryant, how's it going, is the dunk cool?" Tang Qian suddenly asked jokingly after seeing Kobe back on defense.

He is qualified for this, at least in the past round, he is qualified to "joke" Kobe, because without his strong blocking and blocking, how could there be Kobe's one-man fast break and two-handed dunk?Kobe looked at Tang Qian, paused for about a second, and then said: "You are not talking big, very good, I like it very much."

"Hey, good luck, good luck." Tang Qian said with a "haha" smile.

"I don't care if you are lucky or not, can you continue to do it? I just want the result." Kobe continued to ask.

"of.course~" Tang Qian replied generously: "Of course I can!"

"Okay, let's continue." After Kobe finished speaking, he ran away from his position and went to mark Westbrook who was dribbling.

Although he didn't have any strong tone words in the few words just now, Tang Qian felt that this man was gradually identifying with himself and affirming himself, just like accepting Paul Gasol back then.

In this league, it is not easy to get the favor of "Black Mamba", especially if it is just a small substitute player.But Tang Qian, No. 29 of the Lakers, is gradually entering Kobe Bryant's field of vision.

This is definitely good news.

Because getting the favor of the boss of the team is sometimes more useful than getting the favor of the head coach.

Looking at Yi back then, it was because he had a normal relationship with the team leader, so even if the head coach gave him a lot of time to practice, the effect was extremely insignificant.This was his predicament and predicament at the time, so he was finally "isolated", packed up and left, and it was a matter of time.Even LeBron James, the "Pride of Heaven", played Ricky Davis for a period of time when he first entered the league.Although the final result is well known, Zhan Huang's strength is reflected in his personal ability. If he doesn't have the kind of strength that can "rule the world" as soon as he enters the alliance, he should obediently follow the procedures.

Besides, emotionally, Tang Qian respects Kobe very much.

Especially this season.

89-99, the Lakers are still 10 points behind.

In the next offensive round, Thunder 0 was not afraid and continued to attack with the ball, because in terms of offensive boldness, he was no worse than a superstar.Since you banned one of me, then I must call one back. Why Kobe always praises Westbrook in later generations is because of his "fighting spirit", which is very close to Kobe.He is different from the new generation of stars. His playing style and playing style may be closer to the older generation of players.

So "Revenge Ball", he must play.

Kobe's defense was still the same as before, unhurried and no longer aggressive.

So with little effort, Westbrook "rips" out of Bryant's direction and sprints to the Lakers' basket for the second time.Thanks to the "lesson" from the previous round, Westbrook's offense became even more ferocious this round, like a blue lightning, and with a "swoosh", he ran across.

The goal was directed at the Lakers' basket.

Tang Qian took off, raised his long arms, and continued to defend the Los Angeles rim, but this time, he was not so easy to succeed.Westbrook's personal ability has improved to a certain extent this season, and he has almost broken the boundary of the peak of the All-Stars, stepping into the ranks of quasi-stars.Regardless of the difference in only a few words, there are very few players who can reach the quasi-giant level and status in the NBA.Obviously, for Thunder's No. 0, quasi-superstars are not the end of personal strength.

Facing Tang Qian's block, Westbrook straightened his right hand, then slightly blocked with his left hand, and was about to dunk the basket.

This is a common action of a dunk master. Many people use it, but there are very few people who really use it well.Because this action is walking between "legal" and "foul" in the rules of the game. Once it goes too far, it will immediately catch the whistle, cancel the score, and lose the ball.This hard dunk technique, Carter is the pinnacle of it, back then even O'Neill had to "contract three chapters" with him in private, so that he would not stage crazy dunks on his head.When Russell Westbrook uses it, the effect is naturally not as strong as Carter's, but he is also a skilled person. Coupled with the abnormal explosive power, when used, looking at the current league, there are not many insiders who are not prepared. , which can be broken down.

So he is confident that Lao Shizi's Eastern shot-blocking king will not work either.

Didn't you cover me with a ball just now?Well, I'll return it to you right away!

Moreover, it must be ten times more intense! ! !

This is the style and personality of Thunder No. 0. The players are terrified and the fans are thrilled.

Tang Qian now belongs to the former, because this is the first time he has personally experienced this technique.

It's not that he hasn't seen it before, as I said before, it's not a profound skill, but it's the first time he has used it so well since he came to the United States.The previous players were either not physically fit enough to overwhelm Tang Qian's defense easily, or they played lamely, which made Tang Qian dumbfounded.So at this moment, it was the "first time" for him to face this hard button skill.

In fact, Bao Wei Shao has this skill before, but in the NBA, there are not many opportunities to use it.Now the league generally lacks big centers, and there is no need to be so troublesome to deal with insiders who are not tall enough, just fly and dunk.Therefore, if he hadn't met Tang Qian, Westbrook would not have thought of using this dunk skill.

Hard buckle you!This is a common way for NBA outside players to provoke inside players!
Once successful, it will definitely be 100% on the poster.

snort!It's really Westbrook!But I'm not easy to bully!
Tang Qian actually forcibly lifted his chest in mid-air, and pushed Westbrook's auxiliary hand away!

What kind of power is this? ? ?How could it be so vigorous? ? ?

Seeing that he was about to be capped, Russell Westbrook straightened his waist quickly, and the moment Tang Qian was about to touch the basketball with his palm, he changed the dunk into a one-handed throw.

Can you do this?

This surprised Tang Qian. He thought the ball would definitely be blocked.

Russell Westbrook, known as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", is not a vegetarian!sharp!
But the basketball failed to fall into the Lakers' net. It can be seen that the sudden change of tactics is a bit reluctant for the current Russell Westbrook.His handwork and style of play were not originally of Rose's level of skill, so even if he barely escaped Tang Qian's block, it would be difficult to successfully get him into the basket.

Tang Qian, with his tall arms and long arms, protected the defensive rebound as soon as he landed. Then Kobe attacked and faced Tzapo Sefolosha, and scored a long-distance 45-degree three-pointer.

Swipe~ A white wave stirred up on the Thunder's net.

It's not that Sapo Sefolosha defended the ball badly, and there were no major problems with his position and judgment, but unfortunately, facing No. 24, he just threw the basketball into it abruptly.With this kind of personal ability ball, he has nothing to do. He can only look back at the head coach and say that he has tried his best.

92-99.

In the next few minutes, although Tang Qian didn't block any more shots, he was very good at interfering with the attackers.

This caused the Thunder's inside offense to almost fall into a state of downtime for a short time.

The Lakers took the opportunity to chase points, and after a small climax, they caught up with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

102-102, the two sides turned into a draw at the last minute.

PS: A new climax is coming, haha~ tomorrow erupts~ erupts~~~
