I really just want to be a role player

“It’s like hell!
The closer the Thunder get to the basket, the lower their shooting percentage.

On the contrary, they are not good at long three-point shots but hit them frequently, this is not a normal Thunder team..."

Off the court, Scott Brooks also had a headache.

Obviously, Westbrook has a three-pointer, which gave the Thunder a good start. Unexpectedly, Durant's offense has no touch, and even the inside players under the basket have a rebound advantage, but they can't be converted into points?

It's hard!
On the court, Westbrook controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was pressed by Paul again.

Wanting to be a reckless person, Kobe rushed to help defend.

No way, no breakthrough, no shot.

Westbrook couldn't move the Thunder's main duo, and immediately sent the damn basketball to Durant.

"It's still Durant singled out Subei!

It is clear that Durant's physical talent has an advantage in offense, but he has not been able to convert it into points.

Next, let’s see if Durant can toughen up?
The three threats were probing, but Su Bei didn't give the probing a chance and directly pressed forward to fight.

Durant swayed from side to side, and there was always the threat of a giant loop foul, but Su Bei still retreated. Then, Durant seized the momentary opportunity and dribbled the ball to the right to break through.

A big change of direction, pulling to the left, then quickly changing to the right, taking a step forward, immediately pulling up the ball, and shooting a two-point fadeaway jumper..."

A big man at 2 meters can dance with the ball?
Su Bei felt that he had no defensive skills, but he was unable to defend himself. He could only bet on Durant's shot and just wait outside.

Bang-dang-!
"Durant hasn't hit yet!
Su Bei obviously couldn't guard against it, so he gave Durant a chance to shoot.

Durant just couldn't get that damn basketball into the hoop, damn it!

Westbrook started to rain for three minutes, but Du Shao hit the iron. The situation of the two of them was almost reversed.

Hey, the most reliable thing is the Thunder's frontcourt basketball. Ibaka has an obvious advantage in the battle with Gasol. He doesn't give it to Big Brother. He lights up the basketball and grabs it quickly. Then, he turned around and made a layup to make up the shot..."

Swish-!
Got it!

After all, finishing shots under the basket is a matter of points. The Lakers' defense cannot rely solely on God's side.

12 to 16! !
"Basketball, it's a steal!

The Lakers met the extremely athletic Thunder team, and the internal flaws were thoroughly exposed.

In the end, the Lakers still couldn't defend, so they could only fight against each other..."

Looking back, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to lob the ball to Gasol. This time, he did not choose to cut inside and hit the Thunder's backdoor, but continued to borrow Su Bei's knife to chop the Thunder's turtle.

Westbrook's three-point shooting at the beginning was a brave group. Paul, he couldn't retaliate with three-pointers, but he could play a more brave card than Westbrook's three-point shooting.

"Paul cut outside and made a transposition with Su Bei, pulling Westbrook, who is 1 meters tall, in front of Su Bei.

Gasol passed the ball over, Su Bei caught the ball, lifted it up, and without any extra movement, he raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Westbrook hesitated for a beat, and then wanted to rush out to block the shot. With his 191 talent, it was too late and he could only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
"Nice job!!

The three-point shot depends on Su Bei's shot!
Neither Westbrook nor Kobe is as reliable as Su Bei.

Paul is also a cruel person!

Playing games for Su Bei one after another, Wei Shao was touched for the first time, but he was afraid of his hands and feet for the second time, so he could only be taught by Su Bei to be a man with three points..."

15 to 16! !
The score is still anxious.

It’s still a defensive situation that no one wants to understand.

After Su Bei scored a goal, he immediately defended Durant in the defensive round and did not give him a chance to catch the ball.

Hong Kong is true, Durant is the scoring champion for three consecutive times, and this achievement has only been achieved by Jordan.

Durant fought in front of Su Bei for three rounds, but Su Bei didn't dare to give Durant the ball to find his shooting touch.

After holding it in for so long, if Durant makes a big move, he won't be able to catch it!
I can only cut Durant, um, the chance to catch the ball!
Therefore, the stronger Durant is, the harder Su Bei will work.

Seeing that Durant had no chance, Westbrook chose to come by himself.

"Continuously stepping down and dribbling, taking a step back to open up space, Westbrook rushed up, he went in, Paul fought and retreated, Gasol and Kobe both rushed to attack.

The Thunder has always been a bright card in offense, either Durant or Westbrook.

After the Thunder team left Subei, other offensive firepower could not kill the game at all...

The Lakers' defensive choices are reasonable!
It's just... oh my god, Westbrook is too reckless. Facing the pincer attack of the three, Westbrook was about to break through to the end and shoot at the man... No, it was a pass. Westbrook didn't shoot, but split the ball. The ball was given to Ibaka who was completely empty under the basket on the right. The latter caught the ball and raised his hand to shoot a two-point jumper from close range. This is Ibaka's shooting area...

Bang-dang-!
Oh...no!

Westbrook fed the cake to his mouth, but Ibaka still didn't help, and he actually vomited.

Oh, the Thunder's offense was not over yet. Durant rushed to the basket, jumped up, took back the basketball that Ibaka missed, and raised it to shoot when he landed, but it was a feint. Lent passed the ball to Westbrook next to him, jumped up, and made a one-handed dunk..."

Bang-dang-!
There is no close shot that cannot be scored. If not, then try the second time!

With the help of the second offense, Westbrook took a wonderful turn from Durant and easily sent the basketball into the basket.

15 to 18! !
“It’s the offensive rebounding issue again!
The Lakers didn't lose points, they didn't do anything defensively, and they gave the Thunder continuous offensive opportunities one after another, so why don't you defend against Der..."

Off the field, Mike Brown showed his hands to the players on the field, showing a very helpless performance.

Three times in a row, he was denied offensive rebounds by the Thunder. What more could he do?
Do you want to give you a consolation prize for missing a rebound?
At this time, Kobe, as the head of the family, also had an ugly face, but he clapped vigorously, reminding his teammates not to sleep anymore.

Looking back at the offensive round, he reached out for the ball. This was because he wanted to use offensive scoring to criticize his teammates.

This is what Kobe does best.

"On the left wing for a three-pointer, Kobe stepped in as a three-threat player, then put his feet back and lifted the ball. Is he going to shoot a three-pointer?
Sefolosha did not dare to accept Kobe's three-point test and chose to press closely. Then, he was fooled.

Kobe rushed in with the ball, and Sefoloza, who was fighting and retreating, wanted to move laterally in front of Kobe, Westbrook helped defend, and Ibaka also rushed over...

But it was too late, Kobe came in, took the ball and shot, raised his hand and hit a two-point pull-up jumper..."

The Thunder's encirclement, because Sefolosha's defense was easily torn apart, and Kobe played very resolutely, could only surround a lonely one, and the rest was to listen to the gunshots.

Bang-dang-!
"No!!

Opportunities came up, and Kobe was shooting in a good rhythm, but that's basketball.

Durant can strike, and so can Kobe.

The rebound was firmly protected, and the Thunder counterattacked, Westbrook rushed up quickly..."

The Lakers are also very mobile and can retreat quickly.

However, Westbrook rushed to the frontcourt, unreasonable at all, one step away from the three-point line, shot the ball when he pulled the ball, and threw his hand with a three-pointer...

Paul was helpless. Westbrook had already charged. His pressing could not be in front of Westbrook all the time. In addition, the opponent did not follow martial ethics, so he could only listen to the gunshot.

"It's swollen!

Westbrook takes another three-point shot, will it happen? "

"Bangdang-!"

The three-pointer missed!

The basket is not used to Westbrook, and God is not on Westbrook's side.

"Gone!
Westbrook managed to squeeze out the second shot, but missed the third shot.

This is normal Westbrook!

His shooting has never been his strongest weapon..."

The rebound, finally, was held by Jordan Hill.

Paul took over the basketball and advanced, the same old trick, turning over Gasol's card. Then, he switched positions with Su Bei on the outside, bringing Westbrook's defense in front of Su Bei.

Doesn’t Westbrook like to use three-pointers to win or lose?
Well, I'll use Su Bei to fight you and see if you can handle it.

“It’s the homework just now again!

Su Bei received a pass from Gasol at a 65-degree angle on the right side and immediately raised the ball to shoot. Westbrook quickly flew over.

Beautiful, Su Bei collected the ball, clicked it, and immediately passed the ball to Gasol. Then, he cut inside to the basket. Gasol passed the ball to Su Bei, rushed to the end and then shot..."

Boom, swish—!
Su Bei hit the backboard with a basket, steadily hit the Thunder's back door, and sent the basketball into the basket.

“Very nice cooperation!!

No matter how hard Westbrook defended, he was still teased.

For Subei's three-pointer, he struggled defensively. However, Subei not only has three-pointers, he also has off-the-ball, and a steady heart to score, what do you use to top it..."

17 to 18! !
The score difference is still very tight!

At this time, Scott Brooks saw that Wang Zha's combination had no basket, so he immediately made substitution adjustments.

If Harden still plays, it will be the third youngest Harden, and now he can only play Kevin Martin.

Sefolosha's defense is good, but it is useless in front of Kobe.

If it weren't for Kobe's poor shooting touch, he might be beaten.

Since it can't be defended, it's better to go to Kevin Martin, who has a stronger offensive attribute.

Not to mention, Kevin Martin's offensive ability is really strong. He just came on the field and immediately made contributions in scoring.

After Westbrook broke through to attract the defense, he split the ball and found Perkins.

Kevin Martin did not stay in the right corner. When Kobe passed, he slipped to the baseline, cut to the end, and then received the pass from Perkins, leaving only the basket in front of him.

Swish-!
“The Thunder’s offense is here!
Kevin Martin is not a ball-handling attacker like Harden, but can play with the ball or without the ball.

Drilling around like Hamilton does, Kobe is not easy to defend..."

Of course, the problem still lies with the Thunder's explosive combination.

Whether it is Westbrook or Durant, single defense is a problem. The Lakers have a strong perimeter defense, but they still can't do it!
In the zone defense, a one-pointer from Wang Zhao's combination is a scoring opportunity for other Thunder teammates.

If Sefoloza, Ibaka and Perkins can't kill the game offensively, then Kyle Martin can do it.

With Kevin Martin on the court, the Thunder have more space to attack and more opportunities. Unfortunately, Durant still hasn't found his shooting touch.

Westbrook took a hard three-pointer at the beginning, and then, he also showed the attribute of shooting nothing. The Thunder's offense was considered dumb.

However, the Lakers failed to seize the opportunity and widen the point difference.

Kobe was also in poor condition. He actually made 5 of 1 shots, and the one he hit was the three-pointer that he was not good at.

Gasol wanted to be tough in front of his younger brother on the national team, but he was too soft, shooting 6 of 2 from the field.

Under the leadership of Kobe and Gasol, especially when Westbrook was extremely lucky and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Lakers were ahead in the score. That point , but not even enough to feed the cat.

After the first quarter, the score was 29 to 28, and the Lakers only had a 1-point lead.

Su Bei became the most beautiful boy, not only on defense, he prevented Durant from making 4 of 1 shots, and scored two points only by free throws, but also on offense, in the dislocation created by Paul, he beat Westbrook , 5 of 4 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 13 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter.

Of course, Westbrook also used unreasonable shooting on offense to defeat Paul. He made 9 of 5 shots and 4 of 3 three-pointers. He also scored 13 points in a single quarter, but only had 1 assist.

Paul made 4 of 3 shots and scored 6 points and 3 assists offensively, which is not bad.

In the second quarter, the rotation battle, Mike Brown is still a routine operation, with Paul and Subei continuing to lead the team, and the sixth man Artest, the seventh man Jamison and a make-up insider PJ Tucker are sent in rotation.

Rounding things off, it’s still a low-end version of the F4 lineup.

For the Thunder, Durant performed poorly in the first quarter and continued to lead the team.

Plus Kevin Martin, who plays the sixth man, as well as the regular Collison, Westbrook's stand-in Eric Maynor, and the 6 No. 09 Hashem Tabek who the new franchise wants to train.

Gangzhen, the Thunder's rotation lineup is also very capable.

The game started in the second quarter, and the Thunder had the offensive ball.

Maynor took possession of the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Durant.

"Continue to take the ball and single out Subei!
Durant was soft in the first quarter, will he get tougher in the second quarter?

With continuous feints, Durant broke through, and then, unreasonably, he pulled up and shot... No, in the air, Durant swung the ball out.

Kevin Martin, who cut into the basket, received the ball, lifted the ball, waited for PJ Tucker to fly, and then distributed the ball to Collison under the basket, and there was only the basket in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
Collison's entire body is hung above the basket.

Durant did not use a mid-range shot to test Su Bei, but instead played a breakthrough point shot. Kevin Martin showed his off-ball movement, and also showed off the "everyone for one" of the Princeton system, assisting Collison Basketball. Eat some cake.

"This kind of cooperation is very rare in the Thunder team. It is not surprising that the Lakers can't defend..."

The Thunder were playing superstar basketball, but when Breakthrough changed the channel and switched to team basketball, the Lakers were left in a state of confusion.

29 to 30! !
The leading team became the Thunder.

Looking back, Paul broke through, passed the ball to Artest, who came in through air cuts, and crushed the ball.

"The Thunder's outside Kevin Martin can't stand it, but can the inside's basket guard stand up?
Tabik calmed down the basket and protected the basketball, and Artest chose to dunk in front of the man..."

Bang-dang-!
Artest drove the bulldozer to the penalty area, and it was a one-handed split dunk. This is his good attack mode, but it is a pity that he underestimated Tabic's ability to protect the basket.

This guy can't attack well, but with a height of 2 meters, there is still something for him just to protect the basket.

Artest dunked the basketball.

"The basketball flew out. Su Bei caught the basketball and immediately pulled it up and shot it. Durant threw it out. It was already too late..."

Swish-!
With the knife in his hand, Su Bei was lucky to grab the basketball, quickly made up the knife a second time, and sent the damn basketball into the basket, earning two points.

31 to 30! !
It's still a situation where I don't know how to defend, and you don't want to understand it either.

The score is still tense, no one can leave, the decisive battle will last until the end...
