The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 84

To be honest, Li Pu's three-pointer was fooled!

All this is a misunderstanding!
At that time, he saw Artest blocking his way, and it was too late to change direction.

So he was ready to shoot himself, change his horizontal competition with Artest to vertical, and use his height advantage to grab rebounds, but what he didn't expect was that the ball actually scored!

I... can actually score three points?

When Li Pu returned to the defense with a dazed expression, seeing Bynum's expression of admiration, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered in his heart.

are you crazy!Why are you looking at me like that?
With Li Pu hitting a three-pointer, the scores of the two teams were tied again!Back to the same starting line!

In the subsequent games, the two sides still refused to give in to each other.

Although Westbrook's impact has dropped under Kobe's defense, Durant's touch is a bit cold under Artest's defense, but Li Pu's sudden emergence has allowed the Thunder to firmly maintain the score !

Before halftime, Durant missed a three-pointer again!
When the basket was in chaos, it was Lip again, leaping high in the crowd, grabbing the offensive rebound, and dunking through Bynum.

In this regard, the score came to 58:58, and the Thunder evened the score again.

Then Fisher missed a three-pointer in midfield, and the game entered the halftime stage.

The locker room of the Staples Arena, like most arenas, is located on the bottom floor of the basement, but the visiting team's locker room is separate from the home team.

I have to say here that the Staples Arena has a total of four locker rooms, one for the Lakers, one for the Clippers, one for the visiting team, and the last one for the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL (that is, the Hockey League).

In this way, it is very good to avoid the trouble of changing the decoration every time you play a game.

"You performed well tonight! You scored 16 points and 10 rebounds at halftime!" Lin Shuhao joked when he came to Li Pu.

However, Li Pu did not respond to Lin Shuhao as he did in the past.

I saw Li Pu frowning tightly, sitting there panting heavily, eating bananas to replenish his energy.

Not only him, but when Lin Shuhao looked at the others, he realized that whether it was Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, or Harden, everyone had solemn expressions, as if they were the losers.

Obviously everyone is focused on the game and no one cares about the statistics at all.

At this moment, Lin Shuhao felt that he was a bit out of tune with everyone.

It turns out that the gap between myself and them is not only talent and technology, but also mentality!
The second half resumed with both sides fielding their respective starting lineups.

However, as soon as he came up, Kobe hit a mid-range jumper against Sefolosha.

Immediately afterwards, Westbrook missed a breakthrough layup, Lip failed to grab an offensive rebound, and the Lakers counterattacked.

Due to the timely retreat of the Thunder, the Lakers failed to play fast break.

However, even if they play in a down position, the Lakers are not at all timid.

Because they have the big killer of positional warfare, the triangle offense and Kobe!
After some running, Kobe went down to catch the ball again. This time, the Thunder flanked ahead of time, and Westbrook from the outside came to help defend.

Seeing this, Kobe gave the ball to Fisher who was outside the 45-degree three-point line.

Fisher went up and down and hit a three-pointer!

Although Fisher is not tall, his passing is not satisfactory, his organizational awareness is lacklustre, and his defense is only tough... (Fisher: I advise you to be kind!)

But his fixed-point shooting is quite good. At critical moments, he does have a big heart. He dares to shoot and can make the ball!

With Fisher hitting this three-pointer, the Lakers have led by 5 points.

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Pu once again screened and rolled with Durant without the ball, and then cut inside.

However, Durant didn't feel good tonight. He only made 10 of 2 shots in the first half. Therefore, the Lakers contracted extremely quickly this time. Air intercept.

Durant made a mistake and handed over the ball directly!
This time, the Lakers can finally play a fast break counterattack.

Kobe held the ball all the way, came to the basket to face Sefolosha's defense, threw the ball high, and Artest behind Sefolosha jumped up and dunked with both hands!
The point difference has come to 7 points.

The Thunder requested a timeout.

"Don't panic, stay steady, start with defense! Don't make mistakes on the offensive end, and don't give the opponent a chance to break fast!"

Brooks didn't say anything constructive, just plain old.

This is the shortcoming of Brooks' coaching, but so what, who makes the Thunder's talent high!
Back from the timeout, Westbrook and Lip played a pick-and-roll, without any precautions, suddenly accelerated, took a step directly in front of the free throw line, flew to dunk, and hit the wall of Gasol and Bynum.

Although Westbrook failed to dunk the ball in, the ball was quite explosive, and it also caused Gasol's thug foul by the way!
"Great job!" Durant rushed up excitedly and pulled Westbrook up together with Ibaka.

"It's okay!" Westbrook said arrogantly with his mouth crooked.

"The goal didn't go in again, what's there to be arrogant about?" At this time, Li Pu said sarcasticly from the side.

"Hey, Prince!" Hearing Li Pu's words, Durant immediately changed his face and stopped him.

"Hmph, you're right!" However, after hearing Li Pu's words, Westbrook's face froze, but it was rare that he didn't refute Li Pu, but walked to the free throw line silently.

"What's going on here?" Seeing that the two didn't quarrel, Durant was puzzled.

Unlike what Durant thought, Li Pu said that on purpose just now.

Originally, Li Pu thought that Westbrook would take the lead, after all, it was unreasonable to play with the ball just now!
But when he saw that Westbrook didn't refute himself, which meant he wasn't on top and he was in good health, Li Pu felt relieved.

Seeing this ball at close range, to be honest, Li Pu was really sweating for Westbrook, it's really crazy!

You are a short person of 1.9 meters, dare to directly challenge two big men over 210cm, you are really brave!

Maybe it was a bit painful from the fall just now, Westbrook's second free throw was a bit short, and he didn't make it!

However, Li Pu, who had been waiting for a long time, managed to rush to the basket and made a tip-up before Bynum got stuck.

Tonight, he has made several tip-ups!
A round was scored with 3 points, and the point difference returned to within 5 points.

After that, Durant singled Artest, broke through for a dunk and also caused a foul by Bynum, scoring "2+1".

With the additional penalty hit, the point difference was further narrowed to 2 points.

Although Durant turned into Tie Du again tonight, his scoring methods are not limited to long shots!
From the third quarter to the fourth quarter, the two teams entangled each other like this, and no one could pull the score apart.

Time is passing by, and it is getting closer and closer to the end of the game.
