I really just want to be a role player

After the timeout, the defense is still second, but if the Lakers can't attack, the game is likely to be sent.

Not even possible, but sure!

Therefore, the Lakers chose to be prudent on the first goal, but also had to take risks.

This round, it’s all about playing the bright card.

"Sure enough, Paul lobbed the ball to Gasol, then cut outside and switched positions with Su Bei, bringing Westbrook's defense in front of Su Bei.

Gasol quickly hit the ball and Su Bei caught the ball and raised his head to feint. Westbrook was not caught flying in the air. Instead, he stretched out his hands and pressed close to Su Bei, compressing Su Bei's shooting space...

After collecting the ball, Su Bei shouldered it and knocked it away. Then, the three-threat stepped forward, making a sudden move, retracting his feet, and then raised the ball, raising his hand to shoot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Westbrook transformed into a turtle and quickly flew out to block the shot. Durant also rushed over, as if he had predicted Su Bei's offensive move, and gave Su Bei a double fly.

At this time, Su Bei experienced the explosive physical talent of Wang Zhao's combination. The moment he shot in the air, he couldn't see the basket and could only shoot by feeling.

Bang-dang-!
"Miss!
Su Bei's shot was so obvious that even the Ting team's physical strength guessed how the Lakers wanted to play. No wonder they were stuck in a traffic jam...well, they were blocked.

Alas, the Lakers' offense was not over yet. Gasol rested for a while, hardened up, and actually grabbed a key offensive rebound. He immediately passed the ball to Kobe, and then, after being close to him, he quickly passed the ball to the shooter. Su Bei rushed over as soon as he landed.

After receiving the ball, Su Bei received the ball from the top of the three-point arc, and he pulled out again. He raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

At this time, the Thunder's two young men blocked shots in a double shot, and the only one left was Westbrook's solo shot, which was a beat too late.

After all, when he defended Su Bei for the first time, he was just looking to see whose hands the basketball was in. When he found out that the Lakers' offense was not over yet, he went to look for Su Bei. No matter how talented Westbrook was, he All one could hear was the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
"pretty!!

Su Bei withstood the pressure, and with the trust of his teammates, he made two consecutive three-pointers, and finally hit the damn basketball into the basket.

The point difference is only 11 points. If the Lakers' three-pointers continue to hold up, there is still a chance to reverse the game..."

You can't score without a three-point shot. If you can't, then take the second time.

Once I know it's important, I can try a few more times!

73 to 84! !
The difference is 11 points.

On the court, Mike Brown clenched his fists, but his face was solemn.

Now it's just the first step to lay down the tactics, but it still depends on how the defense is going?
If the Thunder don't understand defense and the Lakers don't understand defense either, then it's still a lonely shot.

The key to the decisive battle is to see both sides shoot.

"After the Lakers scored a goal, they quickly returned to defense, when they couldn't defend the basket.

In fact, their defense has no choice but to act as a turtle in the penalty area.

Of course, the Thunder seemed to have predicted the Lakers' tactics and chose to replace Sefolosha with Kevin Martin. In the next game, defense is important, but the most important thing is offense.

The Thunder team is still very clear, it just depends on the effect..."

On the court, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Paul still led the defense. He chose to dribble the ball and continue to be a reckless man.

"Subei came to help defend, Gasol also proposed, and he still attacked from a flank.

boom--!
Westbrook passed the ball with his back, passing the damn basketball to Durant, who was following up from the left. He lifted the ball, then changed direction, shook Su Bei's folding defense, widened the distance, and then pulled out. When the ball comes up, he raises his hand and shoots a two-point jumper..."

Su Bei could only regard Durant's mid-range test shot as dead.

Swish-!
"Nice job!!

Durant played very hard, he dared to take a shot given the opportunity, and he could score.

At this time, the Lakers' defense felt difficult.

Westbrook made a reasonable breakthrough and scored the ball, and Du Shao found a death-like shooting touch. The combination of Wang Bo, no one can defend alone, but they also cooperate with each other. What do you use to top... …”

73 to 86! !
The point difference became 13 points.

The Lakers' offense is not bad. However, the defense just can't stop the Thunder's offense. What else can they do?
Looking back, Durant began to entangle Su Bei.

Kobe and Paul are best at two-point shooting. You can bet on three-pointers without treating them as alive.

Jamison can shoot three-pointers, but he doesn't have the ability to kill game three-pointers.

The answer is obvious.

The key to the success of the three-point tactic lies with Su Bei.

Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt, saw clearly the Thunder's defensive intentions at a glance, and followed their wishes, quickly passing the basketball to Kobe on the left.

"After receiving the ball, he feinted and dribbled the ball through. Kevin Martin couldn't stop him and was driven to the end. Kobe Bryant's basket in the penalty area was a one-handed dunk..."

Bang-dang-!
Kobe went straight to Huanglong and used a steady dunk to blast the basketball into the basket and score two points.

The difference is still 11 points.

Off the court, Scott Brooks didn't panic.

In order not to give Kobe the opportunity to foul and play 2+1, even Ibaka swept cleanly and raised his hands in surrender to help defend.

Using two points to chase a point is simply impossible to get it back.

Even the Thunder can score!
Sure enough, looking back, Westbrook broke through with the ball. After attracting the defense, he immediately distributed the ball to Durant and also broke through with the ball.

"It's a DDM tactic, 'I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again...'

We must fight. The key point is that the Thunder don't want to hide. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will cause fouls. If there is no chance, someone else will fight.

The Lakers' current defense can only fall into a situation of exhaustion.

Beautiful, Durant was about to break through to the end, he shot... No, with a flick in the air, the basketball was distributed to the left basket. Ibaka was empty, and only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
A dunk with both hands, his whole body hanging on the basket, the two-point attack was successful, and the Thunder's offensive firepower continued.

come!

Hurt each other!
The Thunder were never afraid of going head-to-head.

The point difference returned to 13 points. Sure enough, the Lakers were so far behind that there was no future for them to score two points.

Just consume your own attack time.

However, the Thunder did not give the Lakers a choice at all, and Durant continued to stick to Jiangsu Bei.

"Su Bei and Paul played outside screens, and the Thunder let Paul go, and they flanked Su Bei without the ball.

Gasol had no choice but to pass the basketball to Kobe on the left.

Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left side, Kobe received the ball and took a step forward from the three threats, while Kevin Martin executed the snake release tactic..."

Such a defensive intention was regarded as a provocation by Kobe!
Kobe didn't like him, so he immediately put his feet back, lifted the ball, and slowly took aim. At this time, Kevin Martin realized that Kobe was angry and wanted to shoot a three-pointer, so he immediately jumped out to block the shot.

"Pretty!
Kobe just feinted for a three-pointer, and when Kevin Martin pounced on him, he immediately went up to his body and made a three-point shot..."

beep-!
When the whistle sounded, Kevin Martin realized that he had been fooled and immediately stepped back instead of pulling down Kobe's shot, giving Kobe a chance to complete a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a high arc in the air.

Swish-!
"Oh my god!!

Kobe's offense in this round was simply amazing. He was obviously aiming to draw a foul, but he didn't expect that his casual three-point shot actually went in.

God is on the Lakers' side!

Of course, Kevin Martin is still far from experienced in terms of experience. When the whistle blew for a foul, he still wanted to retreat instead of pressing his body on Kobe and destroying Kobe's shot.You idiot, you gave Kobe a chance to play 6+3 and one..."

If it hits, the game will be more suspenseful.

Kobe didn't waste the opportunity. He stood on the free throw line and, despite the strong boos, made the extra free throw.

Swish-!
Kobe Bryant hit a magic 4-pointer and the score was 79 to 88. The difference between the two sides was reduced to 9 points.

At this time, there are still 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

Off the court, Scott Brooks chose to play it safe. For the sake of the long term, he replaced Durant with Sefolosha.

At the same time, Perkins and Ibaka were replaced, and Collison and 09 No. [-] Thabeet were replaced.

From the beginning of the game to now, Durant has not rested during the game.

This is the biggest hidden danger for the Thunder. If the Lakers drag the game to the fourth quarter and Durant has physical problems, the risk of overturning will be great.

"Finally, the scoring leader Durant is taking a break.

Next, let’s see if the Lakers can seize this period of time and narrow the point difference as much as possible..."

The game restarted, but Westbrook did not waste time and chose to stall for time.

At this time, the advantage lies with the Thunder, which controls the rhythm and consumes time. The Lakers should be anxious.

With 5 seconds left in the attack time, Westbrook forced a breakthrough and failed to draw a foul, but attracted a double-team from the Lakers.

"Westbrook breaks through to the end and has no room to shoot out.

Hey, what the hell?

Westbrook flicked the ball and made a beautiful pass.

Thabeet on the right side was empty, and only the basket was left in front of him...

Bang-dang-!
My goodness!

To actually miss a lob shot from such a close range is simply a crime..."

Thabeet was also confused. He really didn't expect that Westbrook, who was usually so alone, would actually pass the ball to him.

Even the Lakers couldn't guess it. He was stupid at the time, and there was not much offensive time.

All I can say is that it's not his fault.

Although he was second in the list in 09, he is a big man of 2.4 meters with an average of 2 points per game. Let him make a shot at a critical moment. Isn't this embarrassing him?
With the assists of Kevin Martin and Thabeet, who played one offense and one defense, the Lakers got a chance to further narrow the point difference.

"Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and instead of passing the ball to Kobe, he lobbed the ball to Gasol in the high post, and then chose to cut inside.

Westbrook chased after him and was blocked by Gasol. Then, Paul caught the ball, broke through quickly, hit the Thunder's backdoor, and hit the board under the basket for a two-point shot..."

Thabeet is still capable of defense, after all, his height of 2 meters is there, but in front of the 21 speed talent, these so-called talents have become the talents that can be beaten.

Paul played small and big, and quickly finished the work. Thabeet could only watch as Paul broke through to the end, and then shot inside.

81 to 88! !
The point difference became 7 points! !

Off the court, Scott Brooks was visibly panicked, rushing to the court to press Westbrook's gesture.

I want to slow down the pace of the game.

However, Westbrook gave a different answer.

He quickly rushed to the frontcourt, paused, and when Paul thought he would waste time, he suddenly accelerated and passed Paul in an instant and reached the three-point line.

Seeing Su Bei jumping over to help defend, he immediately pulled the ball up, raised his hand and used the emergency stop zombie to pull up a two-point jumper to test the Lakers' defense and himself.

Bang-dang-!
"What shape is this?

No, this is a crime!
Westbrook actually chose to blindly rush and hit blindly at this critical moment when the Lakers were counterattacking. If he scored, it would be really cool and he showed his true qualities as a personal hero.

But Westbrook messed up. The opportunity came up, but his shot missed the basket..."

Off the court, Scott Brooks saw that Westbrook was about to lose control, so he quickly replaced Westbrook with a substitute Eric Maynor.

Rather than attacking and scoring, he wants to delay the game. Anyway, the Lakers are now doing their best.

How many drops are left in the tank in your body during the fourth quarter?
The Thunder team dared to use the wrong forward strategy because they had a lead and didn't have to fight so hard with the Lakers.

"There is only a 7-point gap, which is a tangible gap!

The Lakers didn't try for a three-pointer. Paul dribbled the ball across half court and chose to play it safe and give the damn basketball to Kobe to attack.

Kobe came back from the timeout, but he was in full condition and scored 6 points in a row, including 4 points in one round. Next, let's see how Kobe attacks...

Three threats, Kobe feinted, and he rushed in, just like crossing the street in the early morning, passed Kevin Martin cleanly, went to the penalty area, ignored Collison's help to defend, and just forced a breakthrough to the basket.

beep-!
When the whistle sounded, Kobe's offense was not over yet. He knocked down Collison and easily completed the basket...

It was so strong that Kobe became an andone again and tore the Thunder's basket to pieces...

What the hell?

The whistle didn't seem to be for Collison's blocking defense, but for Kobe's dribbling and rushing foul..."

Kobe rushed to the penalty and argued...without any excuse.

The referee returned to the technical table and after watching the replay, he found that Collison had indeed stood still and his steps had not moved.

The original verdict was immediately upheld, and Kobe could only smile bitterly and hand over the basketball that was ready for a free throw.

The 2+1 opportunity turned into an invalid offensive foul, giving the Thunder a chance to breathe.

They also mustered up the courage to do some work on offense. Kevin Martin used Collison's screen to get rid of Kobe, received Maynor's pass, and shot a three-point pull-up jumper. …

If it hits, it will be very damaging to the Lakers.

After all, the Lakers just lost a 2+1 opportunity. If they turned around and lost 3 points, the result is not difficult to imagine.

Bang-dang-!
"Miss!
The Lakers dodged a bullet.

Kevin Martin's three-point shot missed by a hundred million points.

Su Bei got the basketball and immediately launched a counterattack, dribbling with his back and avoiding Sefolosha's steal. Su Bei immediately passed the ball to Paul, and then rushed forward, and Kobe also quickly rushed back..."

Paul advanced to the frontcourt and chose to turn over Su Bei's card. The latter immediately broke through with the ball, attracted Kevin Martin's defense, and jumped up to score the ball.

"The basket was empty for Kobe. When he received the pass from Su Bei, he made a one-on-one dunk and blasted the damn basketball into the basket..."

After Kobe scored a goal, he roared and beat his chest, venting his dissatisfaction that he had just made an offensive mistake and missed 2+1.

83 to 88! !
The point difference became 5 points.

Although looking back, Kevin Martin assisted Collison and hit a two-point jumper, but Kobe was already playing crazy. He switched offense and defense, broke through for a layup with a technical ball, went to the penalty area for a layup, caused Thabeet's foul, and got the layup. Opportunity to shoot free throws from the free throw line.

Two swish sounds, Kobe made a steady free throw, and the point difference was still 5 points.

In the last attack of the third quarter, Scott Brooks chose to bring Durant and Ibaka back to the court. As a result, Durant was flanked and Ibaka could only choose to shoot a three-pointer.

Bang-dang-!
As Ibaka missed a three-pointer, the game time ran out in the third quarter.

At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 83 to 88. During the counterattack, the Lakers, like Mike Brown's count, recovered 10 points and entered the final battle with a 5-point disadvantage.
