The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 123
With Lin Shuhao's "2+1", the score of the first quarter was finally fixed at 12:17.

No one expected that Lin Shuhao would become the Thunder's player with the most points in the first quarter.

Soon, the game entered the second quarter. At this time, Li Pu and Durant were resting off the court, and Harden was replaced on the court again.

Since Harden was holding the ball on the field, Lin Shuhao fell silent again in the first few minutes of the second quarter, and lost his previous amazing performance.

As for the team, the ultra-low score in the first quarter itself is abnormal and a small probability event.

By the second quarter, whether it was the Thunder or the Lakers, the offense returned to normal.

However, due to the tight defense of the two teams, although the two teams can score, the efficiency has not been high.

Li Pu played again after 4 minutes and 34 seconds of the second quarter.

The reason why he played so late is that the small lineup composed of Harden, Cook, Green, Collison and Ibaka played well and always led the Lakers.

Even though Kobe reappeared after resting for just over two minutes in the second quarter, he still didn't take advantage of the Thunder.

Durant came back with Li Pu, which means that the Thunder team has passed the title stage.

Finally, as Li Pu blocked Odom's shot, the first half ended, the score was 38:34, and the Thunder temporarily led by 4 points.

On the whole, the performance of the two teams throughout the first half was quite bad. When the two teams combined, only Durant scored in double figures, and only 10 points.

I really don't know, in today's game, whether their defense was too good or their state was too poor.

However, in the second half, the situation seemed to have changed again.

Kobe played Sefolosha in the low post, and Li Pu came to help defend.

But just before Li Pu arrived, Kobe suddenly shook his shoulders and turned around, and the basketball went into the net!

Immediately afterwards, in the next round, Kobe made a three-pointer against Sefolosha from outside the 45-degree three-point line.

In less than 1 minute, Kobe scored 5 points in a row and successfully overtook the score.

This is the first time the Lakers have taken the lead in this game.

This is not over, and then the Thunder attacked, Harden came to the frontcourt with the ball, and it turned out to be Kobe's main defense.

Before Harden had time to pass the ball, Kobe directly broke the ball in Harden's hands.

Then, Kobe dribbled the ball all the way to the Thunder basket. Just as he was about to fly and dunk, Li Pu appeared behind him.

It has to be said that Li Pu's speed is quite fast.

Before Kobe completed the steal, Li Pu had already started.

Sure enough, as he judged, when Kobe came to the front court to slow down and take off, Li Pu had already caught up with Kobe.

However, Kobe will not just wait to be blocked by Li Pu.

He was about to dunk in the air, but suddenly withdrew the basketball in his hand, avoided Li Pu's waving hand, and then changed hands for a layup.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net!

The difference is further expanded!
"Wow~~"

I have to say that Kobe's shot was so beautiful that the Thunder fans couldn't help feeling that it was a good shot.

"Come on, you almost caught me!"

When returning to defense, Kobe passed by Li Pu, and actually said this familiar sentence to Li Pu.

This sentence was what Li Pu said to Artest in the last game, but in this game, Kobe actually replied to Li Pu.

Apparently when Li Pu was talking, Kobe overheard him, and he was showing Artest a favor!
What a narrow-minded man!

With Bryant's outbreak, the Thunder clearly fell into a disadvantage.

Fortunately, turning around, Durant faced Artest's pull-up jumper and helped the Thunder get back a goal, which made the Lakers' state not continue.

But the situation on the field has changed.

With 3 minutes and 17 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Thunder were already 5 points behind.

It was the rotation time again, and Brooks once again sent Lin Shuhao on the field.

"Quack quack quack..."

This time, when Lin Shuhao played again, he was greeted with deafening cheers and applause from the audience.

People expect this kid who performed well in the first quarter to have a magical performance!
Seeing this scene, Lin Shuhao even had tears in his eyes, and suddenly felt that his persistence in the past was worth it!
"Fight well, next, let's play more pick-and-roll!"

After Lin Shuhao played, Li Pu took the initiative to come to his side and comforted him.

"Okay!" Lin Shuhao didn't say much, but his eyes were full of gratitude.

The game restarted, and the Thunder had the ball.

As Harden rested again, the ball once again came to Lin Shuhao's hands.

Lin Shuhao brought the ball to the front court, and Li Pu took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll with him.

At this time, it was Fisher who defended Lin Shuhao.

With just a pick and roll, Lin Shuhao completely left Fisher behind.

Fisher, who couldn't even see the tail lights of Lin Shuhao's car, had the illusion that he was facing Westbrook.

Lin Shuhao, who passed Fisher, passed Gasol almost instantly, all the way to the basket, and easily picked the basket.

"Beautiful! Jeremy easily passed Gasol and completed a layup. As long as he has the ball in his hands, he can continue his magical performance!" Kenny Smith said passionately in the studio.

Surprisingly, this time, Barkley didn't say anything.

No way, my face hurts!

With Lin Shuhao's layup, the point difference returned to 3 points.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack again.

Kobe plays a pick-and-roll with Gasol, then passes the ball to Gasol.

Gasol's fake action swayed Ibaka, took a step and then made a mid-range hit, and the point difference returned to 5 points again.

Then it was Lin Shuhao who caught Li Pu's pick-and-roll and made a mid-range jumper, which also hit.

In turn, Bryant hit the ball in the mid-range.

In fact, Kobe's overall shooting feel was not good today, and it was better for a while at the beginning of the third quarter.

After Li Pu protected the rebound, Lin Shuhao wanted to push for a fast break, but was led by Kobe.

Although Lin Shuhao is very fast, his confrontation ability is indeed not as good as Westbrook. Therefore, under Kobe's mad dog defense, Lin Shuhao's speed did not come into play, and the Thunder also missed this fast break opportunity.

And, to make matters worse, Kobe still defended Lin Shuhao mainly even though he had already fallen into a positional battle, and he had no intention of changing players at all.

Obviously, even Kobe thinks Lin Shuhao is quite tricky at the moment.

It's still Li Pu's pick-and-roll, but Kobe's speed and physical confrontation ability are much better than Fisher's.

He squeezed past Li Pu and continued to chase Lin Shuhao.

When Lin Shuhao came to the basket, there was Gasol in front and Kobe in the back, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

At this time, because the position is too deep, it is very difficult to pass the ball to Li Pu.

At this moment, Lin Shuhao directly chose to force a layup. Can Gasol and Kobe spoil him?
They jumped up and prepared to block.

However, when they jumped up, they found that Lin Shuhao was making a fake move, and even sent the two bosses flying at the same time.

When they started to fall, Lin Shuhao was about to make a layup.

Seeing this, Gasol could only choose to foul and drag Lin Shuhao down.

"Blue No. 16, pull foul!"
