I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 511 Two bottles of poison, placed in front of the Lakers, no matter how you choose, it is a dead word!
"Finally, finally the Thunder team took the lead in making substitution adjustments!

Good guy, the Thunder are sitting on the bench with a young and talented Wang Zang combination, but it is a crime to put anyone on the bench.

Now the Thunder team sits with two people, it's like walking in vain!
Su Bei was replaced, and the others remained unchanged..."

The Lakers are experiencing the throes of an aging roster, and they don't have the luxury of the Thunder. Kobe continues to stay off the court, and he has to use his skills wisely.

However, Artest played for too long, so he had to take a break and replace Sessions, who was blown up in the first quarter.

You ask Sir, is there any mistake?

Sessions is useless, why don't we go up and send it?
Jackson had no choice. He also wanted to be a good guy and replace him with a competitive player.

But on the bench sat the picked veteran, the 32-year-old Troy Murphy, and Josh McRoberts, who was signed to make up the number and had little strength in the 07 second-round pick.

By the way, there are still a few new forces, 10-year second-round pick Devin Ebanks, 11-year two second-rounders, one is Darius Morris, the other is Andrew Goodlock...

On this board, if you don't play Sessions, the only one you can play, who will you play?

The strength of the Lakers' bench is only strong because of their reputation, and the strength is really not enough.

Compared with the Thunder, it is really too difficult!

Sefolosha, who won the best defensive second team, is in the prime of life, has no injuries or illnesses, and he didn't get a chance to play.

With the addition of Durant, Ibaka and Perkins, a complete lineup that can touch the western floor, put it on the bench and eat ashes, just ask if you still have the king's law?

Are there any laws?
On the field, the game continues.

The Lakers offensive round.

"The Thunder keep shrinking, Blake lobs Gasol and immediately pinches.

The ball went out, Blake did not shoot, and continued to lob the ball to Odom, who was also flanked...

There is no choice, Matt Barnes is emptied, the Lakers have no offensive ability on the outside, and the shooting is not considered to be alive. The Thunder will shrink and protect their biggest flaw, the basket. This is very reasonable... "

Bang-dang-!
Seeing that there was no time, Blake tried a three-point jumper.

As a result, the rebound went wide.

Try it and you will die. Lu Xun's words are still very reasonable!

"The Thunder got the rebound and immediately rushed up to counterattack. Seeing that Blake couldn't stand it, he could only use a foul to interrupt the Thunder's counterattack...

In the positional battle, Westbrook took the ball and continued to be a reckless person. After being flanked, he immediately distributed the ball.

Harden continued to attack with the ball, passed Blake, went to the bottom, and then made a European layup, carried Gasol's body, and threw the basketball..."

Bang-!
Swish-!
After the basketball hit the board, it got into the basket.

Harden scored two points!

"The referee's heart softened, this ball can be blown 2+1!!
Harden's talent is top-notch, but it's a pity that he didn't make a name for himself and has no star whistle.

At the intensity of the playoffs, without the whistle, it's normal..."

"Hey, the Lakers also made adjustments, put Kobe back on the court, and replaced Blake. Now they are 13 points behind, and it is indeed time to desperately..."

Billups watched Kobe, Westbrook pressed Sessions, and Kobe wanted to catch the basketball, all of which were difficult problems!
Struggle can consume energy, and the Thunder team has enough ammunition, so they are not afraid of consumption.

"The basketball goes to Gasol, and then Sessions cuts inside and sets a pick-and-roll with Gasol.

Huh?
What the hell?

Harden suddenly flanked Gasol with Muhammad. Under the physical confrontation, Gasol showed his flaws, his physical fitness was a little bit behind, and he made a mistake.

The basketball was intercepted by Harden, and he immediately rushed up with the ball to fight back, and he rushed to the frontcourt, and there was only the basket left..."

Bang-dang-!
With an unremarkable split dunk, Harden integrated offense and defense, counterattacked and scored two points, widening the point difference between the two sides to 15 points.

"The Lakers are going to collapse, the talent gap is visible to the naked eye!
However, Billups and Kobe carried it, and Shen Seth couldn't even play the ball for Kobe.

The basketball is still handed over to Gasol.

My goodness!

Gasol hit Muhammad with his back and turned around for a layup. Did the opportunity come out, or did he miss the shot?

Too soft, Gasol at this time, showing the Grizzlies era, still looks like that soft guy..."

In the 11/12 season, Gasol averaged 17.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the regular season.

However, in the playoffs, Gasol's data dropped to 12.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists. There are still three good students, student cadres... no, it is the appearance of the new big four.

"It was the Thunder's counterattack again, it was Harden, he continued to break through with the ball, stepped down and dribbled continuously, and caught the European step for a layup. Matt Barnes couldn't keep up with his footsteps, so he could only move hard and reach out to steal the ball.

beep-!
The whistle sounded, Harden's European step did not stop, he completed a layup and scored.

pretty! !
This time 2+1, the Lakers can't escape.

Harden is too strong.

In the regular season, the Thunder left him on the bench to play as a substitute, this talent pool is simply too foul, what do you use to top it..."

You can't stand it!

Seeing that there were not many drops in Gasol's body, Phil Jackson could only make a substitution and replaced Bynum.

At the same time, Artest, who had been panting for a few minutes, was also replaced, and it was time to desperately.

At this time, in the 6th minute of the second time, Scott Brooks also made adjustments, replacing Durant and Ibaka.

At this time, the Thunder's lineup became Ibaka, Collison, Durant, Harden and Westbrook.

Well, the game continued, Harden's free throw was not completed!
Facing the problem of sending points, Harden has no problem, and he will make free throws steadily, and the 3 points will be safe.

The point difference between the two sides has become 18 points! !

Whether it's the field, the score, or the lineup, the advantage falls to the Thunder.

"Kobe finally, finally got the basketball, and Harden was manning him.

What the hell?

Kobe made three threats with almost no adjustments, just a three-point pull-up jumper with a raised hand..."

Harden didn't respond when he finished, and he was still waiting for Kobe to make a test move, to test his talent.

Unexpectedly, Kobe didn't talk about martial arts, he just pulled it up and shot. Even if Harden was not careless, with his physical talent, he still couldn't defend against it. He could only bet that Kobe's three-point pistol had no bullets in it.

Swish-!
With a knife in his hand, Kobe's three-point pistol had bullets, and he scored a three-pointer with precision.

"Too hard!!
Kobe, at the critical moment, it depends on Kobe's offensive face.

This three-pointer came too timely! !
If the shot is missed, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of the Lakers.

But that man is Kobe, he didn't let that "if" appear, show the big heart of a superstar, and use the three-pointer that he is not good at, to tear a hole.

The point difference has become 15 points. Next, it is time to test the defense of the Lakers. With so many points behind, only relying on offensive firepower will not be able to fill this hole..."

"Thunder's offense, Westbrook goes on the music, then he's the reckless guy, he punches Sessions, he goes in, he shoots, he pulls the jumper, he pulls the shot...

Swish-!
Also hit! !
Westbrook showed confidence! !
Neither Sessions nor Blake can withstand his impact. They can play no matter what they do. When they are in form, they really can’t beat him. The point difference becomes 17 points. Let’s see how the Lakers play..."

How else can I fight?
Can only fight three-pointers.

Kobe dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, facing Harden's block, raised his hand and made an unreasonable three-point jumper...

Harden still can only listen to the gunshot!
Bang-dang-!
The basket is not used to Kobe, Kobe forced a three-pointer, and the iron missed.

"With Su Bei leaving, the Lakers couldn't find a reliable player who could shoot three-pointers, so they had to let Kobe shoot.

And three-point shooting is not what Kobe is good at, and the next game will be dangerous for the Lakers..."

At this time, the old problem of the Thunder team was committed.

After all, they were still too young, leading by a big score, thinking that the overall situation was settled, and started all kinds of waves.

Harden was in good form. He was pulled up by Kobe in a row. He chose to return it, automatically dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, then pulled it up and shot...

Bang-dang-!
Harden is not used to the basket either, he made a three-pointer and bounced off the basket.

At this time, the young version of Harden without a beard is not in a stable state and has the attribute of going crazy.

When the status comes, how can you vote?

If there is no status, it is just a sub-question.

The three-pointer is such a wave, Durant just came back, got the basketball, and tried to make a three-pointer.

In their view, any three-pointer is a blow to the Lakers.

Still, the basket wasn't on the Thunder's side.

Bang-dang-!
Three-point shot, still misses!
"In the offense of the Lakers, Kobe didn't bet that he was not good at making three-pointers, and took the ball to pick up Harden's pick.

Find out the flaw, immediately break through with the ball, and then, aiming at Harden who is fighting and retreating, it is a two-point pull-back jump shot with an emergency stop..."

Swish-!
With his hands up and down, Kobe hit two points steadily.

Use mid-range shots to test Harden's defense.

As a result, Harden still couldn't stand the test.

As Kobe's offense opened up the situation, the Lakers also had room to attack inside.

The ball passed to Bynum in the low post, then turned around, hit the rim, and completed a two-handed dunk.

The two-point scoring continued, and the Lakers showed a strong point-chasing mode.

At this point, Jackson didn't sleep any more, and with a wave of his hand, he replaced the invisible Odom with Gasol.

Then Gasol came on the court and immediately set up a triangle offensive team. Sessions had no ball inside and hit the Thunder's back door. Two points finally, finally succeeded.

Seeing the Lakers' offensive momentum, Durant faced Artest's defense, with a three-threat posture, unable to detect any flaws, and was pressed close to him. Three-point pull-up jumper shot...

"Keep playing music, keep going!!

The regular operation of the Thunder team likes all kinds of waves when they are ahead.

Bang-dang-!
He didn't get used to the basket, and he still couldn't hit the iron..."

Looking back, Bynum received Kobe's pass in the low post, hit Ibaka with his back, and attracted Durant's help defense. Rush to the basket for a layup.

Boom, swish—!
"Still!!

The Lakers' offense has found its sense, with full firepower, all the people are soldiers, it is difficult for the Thunder to parry, a wave of 11 to 4 impact, instantly narrowed the point difference to 11 points, and stopped the game..."

Scott Brook praised the players and didn't say anything bad.

After all, it's their style to fight blindly.

It doesn't matter if you can't make it this time.

Calling a timeout just interrupted the state of the Lakers.

The timeout ended, Harden and Collison were replaced, and Su Bei and Perkins played.

"Back after the game, Westbrook broke through with the ball, but the Lakers predicted it in advance. Artest rushed to pinch, and Su Bei was empty.

Westbrook didn't pass the ball, he chose to go up to the man, and against the dense defense, he forced his way..."

Bang-dang-!
There is no suspense, Westbrook's shot misses the iron.

Harden passed by, followed by Durant, all undercover.

To get in the car, he had to bring his second brother with him. Westbrook also had to be an undercover agent to balance it out.

"The Thunder's offense, the sudden misfire, and then the Lakers' opportunity to close the gap.

The basketball was given to Kobe, and Su Bei watched the defense. Facing the three threats, he directly implemented the snake tactics.

Kobe didn't make a three-point shot, but broke through with the ball. After being blocked by Su Bei, he immediately turned around and gave him a butt. Then, he shook his shoulders, turned around, and raised his hand to shoot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."

Su Bei defended to the extreme, reaching out to cover Kobe's eyes, but facing Kobe's picturesque shooting attack mode, he was not much better than Harden, so he could only continue to listen to the gunshots.

Bang-dang-!
"It's iron, Kobe's shooting rhythm is very good, but it's a pity that the basketball slipped out of the basket due to a little bit of luck.

The timeout of the Thunder team still has a miraculous effect..."

Offensive and defensive transition, Westbrook took the ball to the frontcourt, no more waves, and passed the ball to Durant.

"It's another close-to-body confrontation. Durant, who is only good at attacking the basket, has poor three-point shooting and no space for breakthroughs. He is completely unmovable against Artest, the best defensive player in the past.

The basketball returned to Westbrook's hands, and he continued to forcibly break through Sessions. This is the Lakers' flaw and the Lakers' problem of sending points.

Kobe defended the past and continued to flank Westbrook.

Huh?
Westbrook continued to force, broke through to the end, pulled the ball for a layup... no, pulled the pole in the air, and after attracting the defense, Westbrook distributed the basketball.

In the three-point corner on the right, Su Bei was empty, caught the ball, lifted it up, took a look, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."

Kobe rushed out, it was too late!

He can care about Westbrook, but he can't care about Su Bei's corner three-pointer.

This is a flaw in the flanking attack of the joint defense, and it is the same for anyone else, only to hear the gunshots.

Swish-!
"Yes!!

The Thunder's three-pointer is finally, finally gone! !
As soon as Su Bei came back to the court, he used a precise three-pointer to deal a head-on blow to the Lakers' defense.

This three-pointer is not very insulting, but it is extremely harmful!
Westbrook and Su Bei will continue to be the two bottles of poison in front of the Lakers, no matter how you choose, they are all dead words..."

The point difference became 14 points! !

Morale is something that cannot be touched or seen clearly!

With Su Bei's three-pointer, the Lakers' defense had an unsolvable flaw.

The Lakers are in a hurry to attack!

Sessions played the triangle offense impatiently, he chose to drive the ball, and then, pull up a two-point jumper to shoot...

Bang-dang-!
The basketball went wide.

And this is just the beginning.

Subsequently, Bynum also tried to shoot in the cast, but also missed.

Although he shot and robbed himself, he took the lost score back and made up the knife again.

But the offensive momentum of the Lakers suddenly disappeared, and the state was let out for thousands of miles, soft and powerless.

The rest is just rubbing outside, the sound of iron hammering, and the sound is in my ears.

The Thunder relied on Westbrook's breakthrough to make free throws, and Durant's breakthrough to the basketball, and continued to score points.

Om-!
At the end of the second quarter, the Thunder beat the Lakers with a score of 31 to 23.

At the end of the first half, the score was 64 to 46. With an 18-point lead, the Thunder entered the locker room to rest.

In the second quarter of the game, Westbrook and Su Bei became the most beautiful boys on the field. One made 5 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 8 points and 3 assists, and one of them made 4 of 3 shots and 3 of 2 three-pointers. , also scored 8 points.

One inside and one outside, one burst and one shot, complement each other, making the Lakers' defense line, careless about one thing and lose another, hard to defend against.
