The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 173 The Iron Mamba ([-]D Chapter)

The advantage of home games lies in the loose whistleblowing scale. Since the Thunder lack high-quality pick-and-roll coverage, it is inevitable to use some hidden small moves in many cases.

When playing at the Staples Center, the referee will naturally pay close attention to the two insiders of the Thunder, but after returning to Oklahoma City, such problems basically do not exist, and most of the referees will turn a blind eye to some cover actions Eyes, as long as the reeds are not formed too much.

On the defensive end, everyone in the Thunder team can also let go of their hands and feet, and the 23-zone defense after the magic reform has gradually begun to exert its power.

In the offensive round of the Lakers, Kobe had just played a pick-and-roll with Bynum, and had just marched below the free throw line, only to find that Ibaka, who was switching defenses, immediately blocked him, and at the same time, Li Ze beside him also started to interfere. Kobe was forced to Stop the ball.
Fisher noticed that Kobe was pinched by the two, and immediately went to the far end of the three-point line to catch the ball and reorganized the Lakers' offense. Turtle's defense was also extremely hard, and began to oppress Fisher with his body from the outside.

Compared to Tony Parker, Turtle still prefers to defend the slower old comrades.

With 8 seconds left in the attack time, Gasol immediately came to the free throw line. Fisher immediately gave the ball to Gasol. Kobe wanted to use his back run to get rid of Li Ze, but Gasol found that I have no chance to pass the ball at all.

Seeing that the offensive time was coming, Gasol made a helpless three-threat, and against Jeff Green's defense, he made a mid-range jumper from the free throw line.

"唰" two points to score at the buzzer.

"The referee will not call some body hair fouls tonight, I will limit your scoring to 20 points!"

Taking advantage of halftime of the tortoise dribble, Li Ze whispered to Kobe who was guarding him, this is the trash talk that Kobe said to him in the last game, and this game will naturally pay back the same amount.

"The rookie team don't want to guard me! After winning the championship, come and talk trash to me!"

After Kobe heard Li Ze's words, the anger in his heart surged upwards. The cowhide was blown out in the last game. This matter was originally embarrassing, but Li Ze brought up the topic again.
When Li Ze received the ball from outside the three-point line, Ibaka came over to pretend to be a pick-and-roll. He noticed that Kobe's defensive center moved slightly to the right, and his body swayed to the right.

Noticing that Gasol has shrunk to assist the defense, Li Ze suddenly passed the ball vigorously with his left hand. The ball quickly flew along the baseline and accurately found Jeff Green in the corner on the right. The latter caught the ball and adjusted slightly , An open three-point jumper shot.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

"Aha!!"

The two three-pointers in the opening game made the Oklahoma City fans completely happy. Everyone knows that as long as the outside three-pointers are made and the offensive space is widened, the Thunder can play a mercury-like offense.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Amidst the shouts of the audience at the Ford Center Arena, Turtle was a little bit up, and seemed to want to directly defend Fisher. Li Ze noticed this situation and quickly reminded Turtle loudly:

"Russell! Zone defense! Pay attention to the defensive position!"

Excited tortoise finally reacted, immediately retracted to the three-point line, and began to pay attention to the Lakers' outside conduction.

After passing the ball continuously, Artest has already got an open shot from outside the three-point line, but after a moment of hesitation, Durant greeted him with his right hand raised.

The Lakers chose the safest way to play. Gasol came to the free throw line again to respond. After receiving a pass from Artest, he immediately gave the ball to Bynum in the low post. The latter caught the ball and carried it away with his body. With Ibaka out, he made a layup under the basket.

Coach Brooks on the sidelines immediately made a gesture to Ibaka, indicating that the defensive end should be blocked in advance, and Bynum should not be allowed to receive the ball near the basket.

The Thunder quickly drove the ball from the baseline and quickly dribbled across the half court. Durant relied on Ibaka's cover at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line to successfully receive a pass from the turtle at the free throw line. Durant didn't adjust either, and threw it directly after getting the ball.

"Shua" easily scored in the middle distance.

After returning to the home court, the improvement of the quality of screens allowed Durant to catch the ball easily again. At the same time, in order to avoid Artest's defensive entanglement, Durant also accelerated his offensive rhythm, throwing the ball as soon as possible, trying to Reduce pointless dribbles.

When Phil Jackson saw the Thunder's offense, he felt a little bad in his heart. The two big men's defense could not keep up in time. Once the Thunder's outside touch was overwhelming, it would be difficult for the Lakers to defend.

But the advantage of the twin-tower lineup is too great, and Phil Jackson still wants to continue to stick to the previous game strategy.

The offense of the Lakers, this time Kobe improved his receiving position. Through Bynum's pick-and-roll on the right side outside the three-point line, he got rid of Li Ze's defense.

"唰" scored two points long.

After the goal, Kobe quickly returned to the defense, which made Li Ze feel a little pity that the opponent had predicted the Thunder's defensive movement, and he also expected Kobe to attack the inside. Flanked defense.

In the first few minutes of the game, Li Ze consciously divided the ball into the hands of Jeff Green and Ibaka. Taking advantage of his good physical fitness, he quickly found an offensive feeling. There is no such hit rate.

At the same time, Li Ze on the defensive end also started to attack hard. With the blessing of the home whistle in the last game, Kobe really defended him well.

But when he returned to Oklahoma City, the treatment would definitely be reversed. If it wasn't for Bynum and Gasol's quality of cover, Li Ze would definitely have started to die.

第1节比赛进行到6分12秒时，官方暂停时间到，此时场上比分12:17。

The Thunder once again played an efficient attack from the outside, and coach Phil Jackson also planned to make an early substitution. The twin towers dragged down the offensive space of the Lakers, and Odom was going to play early.

Taking advantage of the timeout, the host Yang Jian and the guest Xu Jicheng also discussed the Thunder's offense with smiles in the CCTV studio on the other side of the ocean.

"Durant adjusted his shooting rhythm, and the Thunder team played an efficient outside shot in the first quarter. Director Xu, do you think the Thunder team can continue to maintain this kind of offense?"

The host Yang Jian certainly hopes that Li Ze can reach the finals, and when explaining the game, he will more or less favor the Thunder.

"If the Lakers don't change their defensive strategy, I believe that the Thunder's outside shooting can easily maintain the whole game. The Twin Towers lineup didn't play very well in the opening stage. The Lakers will definitely adjust the lineup quickly. "

When Xu Jicheng saw the Thunder's tactical play, he could only sigh in his heart that his talent was too strong. His good shooting ability and strong athletic talent allowed the Thunder's outside line to match up with the Lakers in the Twin Towers. more common.

"Perhaps the Lakers will quickly replace Odom. This game must be a battle of rhythm. The Lakers want to slow down, and the Thunder want to speed up. We can look forward to the next performance of the Thunder."

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Fisher and Bynum, and Shannon Brown and Odom came off the bench. Obviously, Phil Jackson returned to the same lineup as in the previous game. It is to open up the offensive space on the field.

Kobe did not make a continuous personal attack, but gave the ball to Gasol again. After Bynum left the field, the Lakers had the ability to shoot from the outside and gained a huge space inside. Gasol once again held high and played high. Scored two points at the basket.

After the Lakers scored two points at the basket, Coach Brooks once again made a gesture to the players to maintain the current defensive style and not to shrink blindly. No one wants to see the Lakers' outside line suddenly explode in the away game.

In the Thunder's offense, Li Ze quickly played a cross-cut tactic through the double screen of Ibaka and Jeff Green. He noticed that Odom quickly changed defenses. After receiving the ball, Li Ze first made a realistic shot fake The movement shakes the opponent's center of gravity forward.

Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand, dribbled back with a cross step, and twisted his body. At the same time, his left hand changed direction very quickly under the crotch, and he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, easily breaking through Odom's defense.

During the march, he suddenly made a fake pass to the bottom corner, shaking Gasol in place, and then made a dexterous European step, and succeeded in a layup with his left hand.

"Wow!"

The audience at the Ford Center Arena saw Li Ze score the ball in a row, and shouted excitedly again. The pleasing attack also ignited the atmosphere of the arena again.

Looking back, after Gasol received the ball at the free throw line, after feinting, he took a big stride and accelerated his right hand to break through. Ibaka on his side defended hard, but Gasol easily made a foul.

"squeak"

The referee blew the whistle to signal Ibaka's defensive foul. The Lakers regained 14 seconds of attack time. The sideline ball was taken. Kobe quickly went to the three-point line to receive the ball. He used Gasol's pick-and-roll again and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

This time Li Ze quickly squeezed past the screen, and immediately jumped up to interfere when Kobe made a two-point shot.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

After the long rebound was accepted by Durant, as soon as it was passed to the tortoise, the Thunder quickly launched a conversion attack. Although the Lakers retreated quickly, the tortoise caught the conversion faster.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' defensive foothold, there was a slight pause outside the three-point line, and the front of the left hand changed direction, quickly shaking Shannon Brown in front of him, and then accelerated in a straight line with the ball in his right hand. In the air confrontation, Gasol's block was out of the way, and he picked the basket with his left hand and scored the ball.

"Such athletic talent is really difficult to defend. Shannon Brown has good physical fitness, but he was passed by with one step on the outside. The Thunder's trio are all very talented! This reminds me of the old days. Bulls."

When Xu Jicheng saw the Thunder playing like this, he immediately sighed and missed Michael Jordan's Bulls dynasty by the way.

In the first quarter, the main players of both sides hardly rested. The Thunder replaced Li Ze and Durant with 1 seconds left in the first quarter. There was no room for loss in the home game. Coach Brooks directly used his The strongest tactic-dead knock main force.
At 26:32, the Thunder managed to take a 6-point lead in the first quarter by virtue of their excellent offensive firepower from outside. Their home team was beating the Lakers hard, which also made the audience in the Ford Center excited.

"Ibaka, don't get the third foul prematurely. The current offensive rhythm is very good. Make a good cover. We want to establish the victory of the game in the second quarter!"

In the rotation stage, the head coach of Brooks also changed his employment strategy and once again let Li Ze and Durant play together in the rotation stage. After Sefoloza, Ibaka, and Collison came on the field, the main task was to do a good job of covering and grabbing rebounds. , The tactics are simple and rude.

The Lakers must let Gasol rest. Kobe, Vujacic, Walton, Odom, and Bynum will all serve Kobe. Coach Phil Jackson also continued the previous game. Tactical play, give the ball to Kobe
After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. Since Vujacic was intercepted by Li Ze, he stopped playing tricks and gave the ball to Kobe early.

Bynum quickly came to the three-point line to pick and roll for Kobe. Li Ze's defense kept oppressing Kobe's right hand, which made Kobe's helpless left hand hold the ball to accelerate the breakthrough. confrontation.

It seemed that he was completely impatient with being entangled by Li Ze's defense. Kobe directly started to hold the ball with his back at the elbow to the left of the free throw line. He was not completely out of position, and once again interfered with Kobe's shot.

"Bang" is a kind of iron.

The rebound was protected by Collison, and Li Ze quickly went to catch the ball. The audience saw that the home team successfully defended again, and immediately cheered loudly under the leadership of the DJ:

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

After halftime, Li Zeyun noticed Vujacic in front of him. He was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, he realized that Kobe's physical condition could no longer support his high-pressure defense.

Vujacic saw Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, was so nervous that he was going to die. He stared at Li Ze's movements, for fear that he would be passed clean by accident.

But in the next second, Vujacic noticed that Li Ze's right hand suddenly moved forward at random. Before his body could react, he saw Li Ze suddenly adjust his footsteps and quickly pull the ball with his left hand. An unusually chic Sam Gould broke through easily. his defense.

Bynum noticed that Li Ze had broken into the penalty area and immediately stepped forward to help defend, but Li Ze suddenly made a very fast left hand in front of him while he was on the move. To the basket, the left-handed reflexive dunk!

"哐" broke through and dunked successfully.

"Oh!"

"what!!"

The audience at the scene saw Li Ze flashing past Vujacic, first exclaimed, and then saw Li Ze complete the breakthrough dunk, immediately stood up and shouted excitedly.

"Slam dunks at the basket! It's amazing! Li Ze's movements look very chic! But this kind of left-handed back-and-forth dunk once again showed terrifying body coordination, and his ability to control movement made me amazed!"

The host Yang Jian excitedly raised his commentary volume and praised Li Ze's dunk loudly.

Kobe noticed that after Li Ze completed the dunk, he smiled and shook his head to retreat, while raising his hands high to indicate that the atmosphere of the scene should be more lively. The anger that had subsided in his heart surged up again, glared at Vujacic, and then shouted viciously:

"Change defense! Concentrate! Don't be passed by the opponent again!"

Several people on the Lakers team nodded quickly, especially seeing the angry expression on Kobe's face, everyone dared not say a word, the boss became angry again
As a superstar in the league, after being slapped in the face by a rookie rookie, he naturally had to pay back. After dribbling the ball for half court, Kobe temporarily got rid of Li Ze's entanglement through Bynum's pick-and-roll.

Ibaka quickly stepped forward to help defend, and noticed that Li Ze had chased him, so he quickly retracted and continued to defend Bynum, who was going down. Kobe took advantage of this moment of changing defenses, suddenly and continuously changed directions in front of him, completely Shake away Li Ze, and then make a left-drift jump shot.

But Kobe didn't notice at all that Durant behind him was actually looking at him all the time. Kobe just jumped up, and Durant immediately sent a volleyball cap.

"Snapped!!"

The ball was shot directly to the front court, Li Ze immediately went to control the ball, and then rushed to the opponent's half court with all his strength. At this time, Kobe was about to go berserk, chasing and defending desperately behind him.

Li Ze, who was on the move, saw the situation behind him, and instead of choosing to layup directly, he made a fake pass and threw the ball back after jumping up. Durant, who rushed up in three strides, easily caught the ball , smashing the ball into the basket with one hand!
"Kang" the dunk was successful.

After landing, Kobe saw Durant complete the alley-oop dunk, and immediately cursed angrily:
"Fake!"

Two consecutive wonderful dunks allowed the Thunder to lead to 10 points. At this time, the atmosphere in the Ford Center Arena was about to explode. With a double-digit lead, everyone began to shout excitedly:

"Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!!"

Durant, who successfully dunked the ball, had a chest bump with Li Ze to celebrate immediately after he landed. The Thunder team was on the bench with the atmosphere and the team screamed happily. This is the benefit of playing at home, and it can easily ignite everyone's passion. .

As for the Lakers' offense, the angry Kobe had already deducted the pass button at this time, and he didn't even need the pick-and-roll. After receiving the pass from Vujacic, facing Li Ze's defense, he accelerated his dribbling speed.

After three threats, the right hand quickly released the ball. After a step of dribbling, he suddenly changed direction very quickly under the crotch, dribbled the ball behind his left hand again, then turned around with his right hand to join the ball, and shot a fallback jumper.

"Bang" three Yanghua iron.

Although the previous series of escape moves successfully swayed Li Ze's defense, it is obvious that Kobe's physical condition has not reached the level of the previous game tonight, bang bang!

Ibaka and Collison at the basket started to get stuck early, firmly resisting Bynum and Odom who wanted to grab the rebound. In the end, the rebound was successfully protected by Sefolosha.

With no chance to change the offense, Li Ze immediately signaled everyone to slow down and take a breath after receiving the ball. After playing a tactical hand, Collison immediately came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line to pick and roll for Li Ze.

When Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and accelerated his breakthrough, Durant used Ibaka's cover in the three-second zone to get rid of Wharton's entanglement, and quickly made a handoff with Li Ze at the left elbow of the free throw line. hand.

Li Ze and Collison's screen successfully blocked Kobe and Bynum's defense. Durant held the ball in his right hand and came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Faced with such an open opportunity, he did not hesitate. Immediately shoot the jump shot.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

"Aha!!"

Another three-pointer was hit and continued to expand the lead. There was a huge noise in the Ford Center Arena, and the fans in Oklahoma City had already seen victory beckoning to the home team.

"squeak"

Coach Phil Jackson angrily asked for a timeout. The same tactic was successfully beaten twice by the Thunder. He was very dissatisfied with the players on the field. When Bynum sat on the bench, Phil Jackson Another squirt.

The Thunder's style of play has been repeatedly studied by each team. The first quarter was head-on, the second quarter passed smoothly, the third quarter was full output, and the last quarter basically won.

The Lakers' game strategy is to survive the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, taking advantage of the decline in the opponent's physical fitness and hits, they used the twin towers to hammer inside. As a result, in tonight's game, the second quarter just played for more than two minutes. Came to double digits.

Coach Phil Jackson also regretted it a little at this time. He would have continued to let Gasol play if he knew it earlier.

"Listen! We need to hit the three-pointer from the outside! Don't hesitate, open the three-pointer, shoot decisively! Trust your shooting ability, Gasol, continue to stand on the free throw line, we need to open the offensive space. "

The point difference was widened, and Kobe quickly calmed down. After hearing the head coach Phil Jackson finished his tactical arrangement, he immediately told his teammates with a serious expression:
"Defense! We're going to get over screens fast, don't think about fouls, play like men! OK?"

When Artest heard Kobe's words, he immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time loudly encouraged his teammates:
"It's only 13 points. As long as we defend a few consecutive offensive rounds, we can easily tie the score! We must kill those arrogant rookies!"

After returning from the timeout, Gasol's low-post attack and left-handed shot succeeded, stabilizing the situation for the Lakers, but the Thunder was not affected at all, and quickly sent the baseline ball. After halftime, Li Ze quickly gave the ball to Sofulo SA.

Using Collison's screen, he cut in directly and took away the defense. At this time, Durant was entangled with Artest, and came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line to receive the ball.

After getting the ball, Durant didn't attack directly. Seeing Li Ze go around the screen and come out of the three-point line, he immediately pretended to play a hand-off pass. At this time, Li Ze suddenly ran back and got rid of Kobe's Entangled, Durant's pass was also given in time.

After receiving the ball at 45 degrees on the left side of the three-point line, Li Ze first made a fake shot, which made Kobe's center of gravity move forward, then released the ball with his right hand, and broke through step by step. Quick crotch change direction.

Successfully stuck in half of his body, Li Ze's body suddenly exerted strength while walking, and after knocking Kobe away, he made a mid-range step-back jump shot.

"Shua" two-pointer hit steadily.

Li Ze's action, if it was in the Staples Arena, there is a high possibility that the referee will directly call an offensive foul, but tonight is the Thunder's home court, and the referee will usually watch this kind of physical contact. close one eye
"Are you feeling sore in your left knee? I'm going to destroy you in the second half!"

Li Ze returned Kobe's trash talk in the G2 game again. He didn't pretend to be X at this time, he felt uncomfortable all over!And after he finished speaking, he quickly returned to defense without giving Kobe a chance to respond.

Kobe just wanted to reply, but only saw the back of Li Ze's head, and immediately cursed angrily.

"Shet!!"

With 2 minutes and 4 seconds left in the second quarter, Brooks head coach calmly replaced Turtle and Jeff Green. In the past few minutes, Kobe suddenly entered Mamba mode, bang bang and hit the iron.
Although the shooting percentages of Li Ze and Durant are also declining, the Thunder still maintains a 13-point lead when the two sides fight each other. , Continuously respond in the middle distance.

At the end of the half, at 50:63, the Thunder successfully entered the second half with a 13-point lead.

Many bloated Oklahoma City fans have already begun to celebrate the team's victory. The home team will explode again in the third quarter, and the Lakers are already dead!

After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. Li Ze had just squeezed through Bynum's pick-and-roll cover and defended Kobe Bryant by his side, and the referee immediately blew his whistle.

"squeak"

The line referee signaled Li Ze to make a defensive foul, and the attack time returned to 14 seconds, and the Lakers sent the sideline ball.

"shush"

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were immediately unhappy. Everyone was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, because Li Ze received his third foul at the beginning of the third quarter, which would definitely affect the next defensive action.

Li Ze didn't complain when he was called for a foul. He just smiled relaxedly. He knew in his heart that this was the referee's signal to the two teams for a new game. Things are slowly returning to normal.

"Serge! Pay attention to defensive moves!"

Taking advantage of the Lakers serving, Li Ze immediately reminded Ibaka loudly that the second half of the game has just started, and he must not foul prematurely. There is really no one inside.

In the third quarter of the game, the referee's whistling scale returned to normal. This was originally a great opportunity for the Lakers to chase points, but Kobe in this game once again explained what is called a cold shot!

strike iron?It doesn't matter!Kobe in Mamba mode firmly believed that he would hit the shot in the next round, and even threw two consecutive three-pointers when the two-pointer hit the iron.

This made Gasol on the inside extremely embarrassed. He had already blown up the Thunder's inside line, but suddenly he couldn't catch the ball.
As soon as Li Ze saw Kobe hitting the iron, he defended harder, and from time to time he would use a few trash words to stimulate the opponent:
"My God! You smashed the hoops at the Ford Center!"

When Kobe relied on Gasol's pick-and-roll and made another long two-point shot, Li Ze immediately said with a smile:

"You should pass the ball, buddy! Under my defense, it is difficult for you to hit the shot. Hurry up and give the ball to Gasol. He hasn't received the ball for 2 minutes!"

"Shut up, rookie!"

After Kobe heard Li Ze's words, he finally lost his defense a bit, and immediately started to exchange words with Li Ze. At this time, although Li Ze seemed a little angry on the surface, he smiled in his heart:
[Ankle support] + [Off-the-ball killer] + [Marking master] + [Bronze wall and iron wall] + [Death coil] + [Defensive shock] With the combined addition of these defensive badges, Kobe, who is in poor physical condition, finally got a little Can't stand it anymore!

After the Thunder team's offensive round, Li Ze began to be asked directly from the waist. Kobe, who refused to admit defeat, of course continued to adopt a half-round defense, trying to interfere with Li Ze's receiving the ball.

The two fought in the low position. After Li Ze received the ball, Kobe was exhausted. At this time, Li Ze made a more provocative move, grabbing the ball with one hand with his right hand and making a false pass. .

Then he quickly released the ball, his body suddenly exerted strength, hit Kobe hard, and then turned over and shot a jumper.

"Shua" fell back and scored two points.

Although Li Ze had hit three irons in a row before this, it still didn't affect him pretending to be X, shaking his head at Kobe, while taking small steps to quickly retreat.

"Haha, Kayce beat Kobe, Black Mamba is dead!"

"Don't even try to win in Oklahoma City, let the so-called yellow-green battle go to hell!"

"Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!"

The Oklahoma City fans at the Ford Center were already in high spirits. The audience in the front row began to spit on Kobe, and then cheered loudly for the home team.

The second half of the game has been played for 8 minutes and 58 seconds, but the Lakers still failed to narrow the point difference. The head coach Mayfair Jackson frowned on the sidelines. This is not the offensive rhythm of the Lakers. Obviously, their own superstar tonight Suddenly it went up.
When the third quarter ended, 3:72, although the shooting percentage dropped, the Thunder once again extended their lead.

In the last quarter of the game, head coach Phil Jackson directly took the Twin Towers lineup and began to hammer the Thunder inside. Kobe, who calmed down a little, also tried to give the ball to Gasol, but the 15-point difference still Too much.

Li Ze gradually suppressed the rhythm of the game. Durant's physical fitness was a bit unbearable. If he continued to pursue the offensive within 14 seconds, the Lakers might seize the opportunity to counterattack. At this time, he only needed to withstand the pressure and fight back. Just hit the ball in response.

When Kobe hit the iron again on the perimeter, Turtle successfully protected the long rebound. After half court, he played a high pick-and-roll with Ibaka. Noticing that the Lakers' defensive rotation was in place quickly, Turtle immediately returned the ball. To Ibaka at the top of the arc.

Relying on Jeff Green's cover, Li Ze quickly moved up the line. After receiving the pass from Ibaka, he held the ball in his right hand and made a breakthrough. When he entered the paint area, his right hand suddenly pulled back and quickly joined the ball.

Then he twisted his body, pretended to shoot, noticed that Kobe's defensive center of gravity moved forward, adjusted his footsteps, took a light step up and down, and succeeded in picking the basket with his right hand.

At this time Kobe was too tired to talk trash anymore, and he had already realized that he shouldn't have been defending Li Ze in this game.

Li Ze's excellent control ability made Kobe consume a lot of energy on the defensive end, and the faint pain in his knee reminded him that his body could no longer bear it.

With 4 minutes and 3 seconds left in the 26th quarter, the point difference was still not narrowed. Coach Phil Jackson gave up completely. Although the Twin Towers ruled the inside line, but the outside line was strong, the game could already be declared a defeat. .
The Lakers quickly requested a timeout, replaced all the main players, and all the water cooler players appeared on the field. The Oklahoma City fans saw that the Lakers had completely surrendered, and immediately shouted excitedly;
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

When Coach Brooks also replaced the main lineup, the Ford Center Arena immediately gave warm applause to all the players. The Western Conference finals, winning at home, this feeling is really wonderful, and the audience couldn't stop cheering.
And Li Ze, who sat back on the bench, also heaved a sigh of relief, took the water bottle handed over by Byron, took a big sip in satisfaction, and then said:
"Thanks, Bro! Our home atmosphere is really great. I didn't feel physically tired until after the game came off."

"It's so cool, Kayce! Kobe was defended 20 of 6 by you and only scored 20 points! We all remember the stats for you!"

With the atmosphere of the Thunder team, Byron has been paying attention to Kobe's technical statistics. Seeing that Kobe only scored 20 points, they immediately reported the good news to Li Ze.

"Hey! The cowhide is broken. I thought I could limit Kobe's scoring to 18 points. After all, it's rare to be so strong!"

After hearing Li Ze's words, Byron was speechless. Don't pretend to be X, we are still good friends
In the end, at 95:110, the Thunder defended their home court, rewriting the big score to 2:1, and the match point was close at hand.

Li Ze made 19 of 10 in this game, including 7 of 3 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 turnovers. This is also the highest score in the Thunder team. Durant scored 24 points. With 22 points, the trio scored 73 points again.

However, in this game, the Thunder's trio also played 41 minutes. In the third quarter, the game lasted for 3 minute. Durant was obviously sluggish. The next home game will definitely be another fierce battle between the two sides. Can no longer lose.

After the game, players from both sides simply shook hands, and everyone in the Lakers left the field quickly. Kobe looked gloomy and remained silent. Everyone knows that if they lose in the next away game, the Lakers may really be out up.

"It feels great to win at home! As long as we keep winning in Oklahoma City the day after tomorrow, we'll be in the Finals!"

Although Durant was very tired physically, he was extremely excited at this time. Thinking of getting a huge amount of attention by reaching the finals, Durant even felt that his physical fitness began to gradually recover.

"Rest early tonight! I feel that your physical fitness is a bit overdrawn. Remember to stay in the physiotherapy room for a while later. Let's fight again for the game the day after tomorrow!"

Seeing that Durant was still pretending to be X on the sidelines, Li Ze immediately whispered.

"I'm in full swing now! I can't wait to play another game, it's great to win at home! The Oklahoma City fans are amazing."

Guigui was already smiling, and he was excitedly waving to the fans, and after hearing Li Ze's words, he immediately started to show off his physical fitness.

When Durant heard Guigui's words, the corners of his mouth twitched. Among the trio, he was the one with the weakest physical fitness. Both Li Ze and Guigui had physical strength monsters.
On the other side of the ocean, the game between the Thunder and the Lakers had just ended, and the Comeys instantly disappeared, and most of the fans turned into Li Zechui.

"There is no home whistle! The Lakers just can't do it. Kobe is going to smash the Thunder's home basket."

"Li Ze Niu X! Thunder champion! It's so comfortable, I finally can't see Kemi in the past two days."

"Kobe's cancerous style of play completely ruined the Lakers. Gasol's shooting percentage was so high, but suddenly he couldn't catch the ball in the third quarter. 3 points, 26 rebounds and 13 assists couldn't move Kobe!"

"If I had a teammate like Gasol, I would have won the championship a long time ago. Kobe just can't!"

"Don't come here for fishing! Go ahead and hype the news about leaving the team, and manipulate the team's coach selection. You are really good, and you have no respect for the coach."

"Mike Brown is just not good enough! There are no tactics! Is there any problem with me asking the management to change coaches?"

"Hehe, maybe the coach has tactics, and James is unwilling to play. Look at the Thunder. Last season, they also played blindly. This season is obviously much better. NBA coaches must be a bit dry. It's you, James. question."

On May 5th, the media in America began to build momentum for the Thunder. They won at home and the score was 24:2. As long as they win again at home, the Thunder will get the match point.

Everyone is crazy about the Thunder trio. As for the Lakers and the so-called yellow-green war that everyone was optimistic about before, no one mentions this anymore. No one will speak for the losers. They temporarily abandoned.

It's just that the next operation of the Cavaliers once again attracted everyone's attention. The Cavaliers officially announced that Mike Brown's coaching career with the Cavaliers is over.

America's media reporters and football critics immediately linked this incident to LeBron James. Everyone agreed that Mike Brown's dismissal was because of the loss of James' trust.

LeBron James manipulated the team to change the head coach!

The fans of the Cavaliers have completely panicked. There are various signs that the team seems to be trying to keep LeBron James, but the Chosen One has not said a word at this time and has never shown any intention to stay in the team. This makes Cleveland fans are very disappointed
In the Eastern Conference finals that night, at 96:92, through overtime, the Magic finally pulled back a victory. Warcraft Howard hit the bottom and rebounded, scoring 32 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks.

But this kind of performance did not show mercy from the media reporters and commentators. After all, the big score was 1:3 behind. In this round of the series, there is actually not much suspense. The final is on the floor.
On the afternoon of May 5th, when the Thunder team was in a training class, head coach Brooks frowned when he saw the physical condition of the players. Only one day of rest obviously could not allow the main players to fully recover their physical fitness.

Durant, Jeff Green, Ibaka, and Collison still looked a little tired. Coach Brooks thought helplessly at this time that tonight's game might have to take a small lineup in advance.

After a day's rest, Li Ze's body has already recovered to the best condition. Tonight's game is too important. At this time, he is doing shooting training from beyond the three-point line. He noticed that other teammates were a little tired, and he couldn't help thinking secretly:

"The physical condition of the Lakers will not be very good. If everyone suddenly misfires, maybe I have to enter Mamba mode once."
