The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 401, anxious game.

Before entering the locker room, Artest was blocked by reporters from ESPM to give him an interview.

Artest was a little surprised, the reporter didn't look for Kobe, but he looked for him?

The reporter quickly asked with the microphone: "Ron, why were you blowing into Li Senlin's ear in the first half?"

When Artest heard this, he immediately touched his head in embarrassment. Damn, it turned out to be this problem.

"I was trying to divert his attention. We had a lot of serious trash talking in this game. I was actually trying to stir up his emotions and try to provoke him. I wanted to win this game. I was willing to try anything to divert his attention for a game, but the Chinese didn't seem to be too disturbed. I think I failed."

"OK! Here's ESPM's report on what Artest was thinking about blowing! Thank you, Ron, and good luck tonight."

Artest was thrown away with a dazed expression.

He was used up by ESPM.

Visiting team locker room.

Durant also felt pretty good today, scoring 8 points on 5-of-14 shots in the first half.

But there is trouble with fouls, and now he has 4 fouls.

When he met the explosive Kobe, it was still a bit difficult to defend.

The effect of Green's use today is not good, and Kobe already knows his characteristics very well.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect a rookie to limit the league's No. [-] SG in two consecutive games.

At the end of the second quarter, Li Senlin stopped, but the scores of Kobe and the Twin Towers almost rose together.

Li Senlin scored 22 points in the first half, and Kobe scored 24 points in the first half!
For the situation in the first half, Brooks was very distressed.

The Thunder's three young men are in very good condition today, but the Lakers on the opposite side don't feel bad.

KD has too many fouls, and his time is bound to be reduced. Then who will defend Kobe in the second half?Lee?What about the attack?
Chandler's injury seems to be repeated again. His condition is not very good. Jackson also obviously seized on Chandler's point to attack. How to deal with this point?
Headache.

Brooks felt a little strenuous.

"Lee, go defend Kobe!"

"OK!"

Li Senlin picked up Gatorade and took a sip directly.

"Russell, Harden, at the beginning of the second half, you took turns attacking the opposing point guard."

"OK!"

Westbrook said in a big breath that he had no problem breaking through.

"KD, your rest time in the third quarter will be longer, you have too many fouls, damn it!"

"I see!"

Durant nodded. He knew that if he played again, if he was pressed and beaten down, it would be difficult for the Thunder.

Durant's importance on both ends of the offense and defense is very great.

With him around, the Lakers would not dare to double-team Li Senlin unscrupulously, and would also have concerns when helping to defend Westbrook from breaking through.

"Gibson, you replace Tyson! Hold the line."

"OK!"

Chandler went to the team doctor for treatment, and the rookie Gibson fought against the pressure!

After the substitutions were completed, Brooks began to arrange tactics again.

The reason why the Western Conference Finals is the Western Conference Finals is because this is not a one-person game, it is a team battle.

No matter how bad Li Senlin is, it is impossible for the Lakers to challenge the dual-core internal and external defense of the Los Angeles Lakers in very good condition every time they attack at the Lakers' home court!
So Westbrook's support in the second half was very important to him.

"The second half of the game was about to start again. Players from both sides returned to the court. Coach Brooks made corresponding adjustments. KD was not in the starting lineup in the second half. It seemed that he wanted to protect him. This guy has fouled 4 times. "

"Oh, the Lakers' lineup is Kobe, Lamar Odom, Artest, Gasol, Bynum, they sent the strongest lineup as soon as they came up, it seems that they are no longer afraid of the Thunder's fast break! "

"In the first half, the Thunder scored 8 points with only fast breaks. The Lakers used a high success rate to keep the Thunder from getting up to speed."

Seeing the lineup of the Lakers opposite, Li Senlin frowned.

The height gap between the two teams is too great.

On the Thunder's side, Ibaka is a big man, and he, Harden, and Westbrook are all small men, and they will be beaten in the wrong place later.

Soon, with the sound of an electronic buzzer.

The game restarts.

The Lakers serve the offense.

Kobe directly caught the ball and pushed himself forward. At this time, all Lakers fans became excited.

Others thought that Kobe was going to start the scoring mode again, and the soaring points in the first half were enjoyable.

Only Li Senlin knew that this guy was going to play for the inside.

The Lakers' inside advantage is too great, Gasol (2.13 meters), Bynum (2.13 meters), Odom (2.08 meters), this is a great test for the Thunder's defense. .

Li Senlin was engrossed in Kobe's dribble.

Kobe advances to the top of the arc.

The arrival of the Lakers' five major lineups made every Thunder player who was facing him feel that the pressure on him was increasing a little bit.

At this time, Harden actually faced Odom, and Westbrook faced Artest.

Odom reaches for the ball in the low post.

Kobe raised the basketball, and with a shooting posture, he hoisted the basketball high into the inside and gave it to Odom in the low post. .

Odom VS Harden.

Showdown between the Kardashians!

Odom has a deep position this time, leaning directly on Harden.

After receiving the basketball, Odom took advantage of the situation and sat down hard.

Harden was pushed out of his defensive position.

Odom hit back continuously and pushed directly to the three-second zone.

Gibson and Ibaka were completely stuck by the twin towers, unable to come to help Harden.

Odom turned around and put the basket easily.

57:59.

The advantage of playing misplaced is too great.

Brooks felt bad at the beginning of the game, and immediately asked Krstic to go to the sidelines to replace Harden. The Thunder were at a disadvantage in this situation.

But did not wait until the dead ball opportunity.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook broke through Odom. It was not difficult for him to pass Odom, but after he went inside, he was slapped back by Bynum.

Kobe gets the rebound.

The Lakers attack.

The Lakers used exactly the same tactics just now, allowing Odom to play Westbrook.

Turning his back to put the basket again.

57:61.

"Jackson's adjustment was very effective. Brooks was caught off guard. The first two offenses after the Lakers came back were a dislocation. If the Lakers' top three insiders start to show their power, then the Lakers can directly rely on their steady inside scoring to accept It's game."

This game.

The Lakers have played until now, and finally saw the way to win, that is, unlimited big and small!
Post-up singles are not the unique skill of Li Senlin and Kobe.

Li Senlin and Kobe are the best guards who are good at using their backs.

The most effective attack method for post-up singles is actually when the big eats the small.

The big man used this trick against the small man to almost use his physical talent to the limit.

The Lakers' top three, Odom, Gasol, and Bynum will almost all play post-up singles with one hand. With Kobe, the Lakers now have 4 post-up singles on the court.

The Thunder's line of defense is tight.

They fought the Thunder for 5 games, and they finally found another real advantage besides the Lakers Twin Towers in the second half of the Tianwangshan battle.

Both the commentator and the audience could see the Lakers' tactical intentions. .

The Thunder will be cold next.

"Li, you will lose this game!"

Kobe said with a smile on his face.

"You are too confident. You need to finish the game to know the final result."

Li Senlin disagrees, he doesn't think the Lakers' tactics are sound.

The reason why small ball tactics prevail in the future and post-up singles gradually decline, there is still some inevitability.

The reason why the Thunder's lineup has competed with the Lakers until now is also because the Thunder is very suitable for playing small ball tactics. It is unrealistic to completely understand the Thunder in post-up singles.

Constant double-teaming and rotating defenses are enough, as long as the pace is fast enough, it is not a big problem.

The point difference between the two teams became 4 points.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook drives the ball forward,
Li Senlin ran forward.

At the top of the arc, Westbrook gestured to let Li Senlin run outside.

When Westbrook hit the basket just now, he knew the Lakers' defensive targeting.

As the brain of the team, Westbrook is the top commander when he calms down.

Li Senlin first pretended to walk in the bottom corner on the right.

Gibson comes up and screens for the wall.

Li Senlin circled the wall.

Bryant was blocked and slowed.

Li Senlin continued to accelerate, diagonally to the free throw line.

Ibaka then screened and blocked Gasol who was following Li Senlin.

Soon, when Li Senlin reached the designated three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, there was no one in front of him.

The move was successful.

People arrive and ball arrives! ! !

Gui and Li have a perfect understanding.

This movement also allowed Li Senlin to enjoy one of the few open opportunities.

He hasn't tried such an easy shot in the playoffs for a long time.

Hengdao immediately.

Bow and arrow.

Li Senlin quickly pulled up aggressively after aiming at the frame.

Quick release when jumping to the highest point.

As soon as he made the shot, Li Senlin knew he had the ball.

Hands raised high, has been unwilling to put down! !
really.

Basketball is like having a scope installed.

Go straight to the basket.

"Shhh!!"

60:61.

Li Senlin was under a lot of pressure to shoot this ball. If Li Senlin made the shot, it meant that the score could be closed, and the Thunder's touch remained the same.

If you can't bite, the Thunder will be in trouble.

"yeah!"

Seeing the goal, Li Senlin couldn't help shouting!
After Li Senlin made this crucial three-pointer.

The two sides started a new round of confrontation.

The Lakers are still unstoppable and frequently score inside.

And Li Senlin's state continued to be hot.

Under his leadership, the Thunder has been biting the score.

The game is like this, you come and go, slowly increasing points.

At the end of the third quarter, a large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides due to frequent physical contact, and the referee intervened in time to prevent the situation from expanding.

But both Westbrook and Li Senlin suffered technical fouls.

Then Durant elbowed Artest, was called an offensive foul, and got his fifth personal foul.

Enter the fourth quarter.

Both sides have entered strike mode.

Every score is very difficult.

The final moments of the game.

Both sides failed to score their respective two waves of lore goals!

until the end of regular time.

Neither team had a winner.

101 flats!
OT.

The two sides entered the first overtime of today's game.
