Chapter 928 First victory over the Los Angeles Lakers

Russell Westbrook's advantage is not the only one. Kevin Durant also has an obvious advantage against Sasha Vujacic. Standing in front of Te, he is obviously a few centimeters lower, and when Kevin Durant raises his hand, this advantage will become more obvious. He has nothing to do with Kevin Durant's shooting.

But Phil Jackson can't replace him, because Luke Walton's defensive effect is even worse, Trevor Ariza is what Phil Jackson is going to use to deal with Stephen, and the team's manpower on the front and back line looks like Very adequate, but each of them has certain problems.

For example, Sun Yue from the Chinese team did not even enter the playoff roster, and his days with the Lakers seemed to have come to an end. His defense was weak in confrontation, and his The offensive shooting is not very good, and the Lakers don't need to pass the ball. When deciding whether he can stay, Kobe Bryant voted against Sun Yue because he didn't appreciate Sun Yue's professional adjectives, including His attitude in practice, his performance on the court, how to say it, is not like a professional player.

For example, after he gets the ball in his hand, if he wants to pass the ball, he does not pass the ball based on the situation on the field, but passes the ball according to the size of his reputation. As long as Kobe Bryant is on the court, he will not give it to others. Passing the ball, in Kobe Bryant's view, this is an unprofessional performance. Although it seems that he wants to please himself, Kobe Bryant does not need this kind of flattery. What he needs is that his teammates can play and be able to play. Throw the ball in when you need to.

So now there are problems with the defense of the two positions of the forward and the guard, but Phil Jackson has no good solution, because the two who came up are already the best defensively, otherwise unless it is replaced by Kobe Bryant or Tate Revo Ariza played, otherwise it would only be worse if the substitutions were made. [

But you can't just watch the team continue to lag behind, because if the point difference continues to expand, it will be even more difficult to catch up. Phil Jackson turned his head to look at Kobe Bryant, wanting to see what Kobe Bryant is doing. Not interested in playing, Kobe Bryant also knows that if things go on, even if he plays, he may be late, because the opponent also has a super scorer that is not inferior to himself, so he also does not dare to have too much time to hesitate. Standing up to make his debut, Trevor Ariza's substitution application was handed in.

Seeing that this side is preparing to make substitutions, the Supersonics are not to be outdone, but they don't need to change both, but just use Stephen to replace Jarrett Jack. The more obvious preference, Jarrett Jack only played for a few minutes in the second half before being replaced again, his face was obviously a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that he could compete with Russell Westbrook for a while. The playing time is evenly divided, but it is impossible to continue like this, because obviously for the Sonics, Russell Westbrook has more training value, and at the same time, on the scoring end, his own performance is indeed not as good as Russell Westbrook.

After Kobe Bryant came on the court, he immediately felt that Stephen's defense against himself was significantly different from that in the first half. The intensity increased a lot, but he still persisted in throwing the ball. Seeing the ball fly into the basket, he Only then turned around and returned with satisfaction.

Just as Stephen was about to attack after getting the ball, Trevor Ariza stood in front of Stephen. Stephen also knew this opponent very well, and he did have a good defense, although it was not as good as Sean Battier and Bruce Bowen. These people, but there is only a slight gap. Although he is thin and lacks strength, he can make up for it with a positive attitude. His man-marking ability is excellent, and he is very active in chasing the ball. Although Stephen doesn't need to go all out for such a player, he has become serious.

Trevor Ariza reacted to the two probing steps left and right, but at the same time, his movements were not too big, but he left time for himself to react, and the fake movement of seeing the breakthrough did not play a role in "confusing". To "confuse" the opponent, Stephen immediately leaned against him and slowly began to use his strength to move towards the basket. Now Trevor Ariza has no good way.

He could only try to stop Stephen as much as possible, and at the same time stretched out his hand to harass Stephen's dribbling, but Stephen's current dribbling skills are enough to make people feel at ease. Seeing that Ariza is obviously not his opponent, seeing About to be squeezed in by Stephen, Jordan Farmer rushed over from one side, trying to complete the steal from Stephen.

Stephen didn't look at this side, his eyes were looking at the middle of the basket and Ariza, but he seemed to have eyes for this side of the action, he suddenly retracted the ball, and then quickly moved the ball outwards. It was passed to Russell Westbrook, who was defended by man. After Stephen came on the field, the defensive pressure on other people would definitely be reduced. A man-marked situation like Russell Westbrook had never happened before Stephen came on the field.

After Russell Westbrook received the ball, Jordan Farmar was already on his way back, but there were still two steps away, but at this time Russell Westbrook still had a chance to break through, because he only needed one step , can leave Jordan Farmar behind, but this time he is not going to break through again, such a good opportunity, why not try to shoot, Russell Westbrook immediately jumped up and threw the ball to basket.

You must know that both of his feet are beyond the three-point line. This is not the first time he has shot a three-pointer since this game. In his previous games, it was rare for him to shoot a three-pointer. His three-point shooting rate is not even 30.00%. It is difficult for him to really dare to shoot three-pointers. Even Carlesimo slapped his thigh in surprise when he saw him choose three-pointers. People are surprised, why did this kid shoot a three-pointer?

But Russell Westbrook made this three-pointer, and after this three-pointer, Russell Westbrook made another three-pointer. Seeing Russell Westbrook in this state, everyone A sense of power emerged, why is this kid so powerful today? In the ensuing game, Kobe Bryant increased his own offense, and Stephen assisted Russell Westbrook to score many times in addition to his own offense.

But when the game reached the fourth quarter, the point difference did not narrow, but was expanded again. The Lakers were almost widened to more than 110 points by the Sonics. Kobe Bryant also seemed very anxious, gritting his teeth Consecutive shooting and scoring, but Stephen on the Supersonic team used the pass to connect himself, Kevin Durant, Yao Ming and Westbrook to score each other. This situation continued until the end of the game. The Lakers eventually lost the game [-]-[-], and the Sonics won their first Western Conference Finals victory, but a [-]-point victory.
