Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 219 Sustained Explosion Asking for Recommendation

"The Lakers temporarily took the lead in the first half of the game. The strategy of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first half of the game was very clear, and the effect was very good. Only the inside players scored 38 points in the first half. In terms of rebounds, the Los Angeles Lakers Oklahoma City grabbed 23 rebounds, including eight offensive rebounds, while the Oklahoma City Thunder only grabbed [-] rebounds, and two of the offensive rebounds were grabbed by outside players." Jeff Van Gundy Said, "The Oklahoma Thunder need to strengthen their inside defense. In the first half of the game, we have seen that the shrinking defense adopted by the Thunder did not work well, but it gave the Lakers a better outside line. Shooting opportunities, the Thunder need to integrate their inside and outside defense."

"The crisis for the Thunder isn't just that they don't defend the Lakers well enough inside. They don't shoot very well from the outside either, whether it's Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook. It's not very high, it's lower than the usual halftime score. The person who played normally on the team is Kevin Martin who did what he should do as the sixth man." Mike Breen said.

"Now I appreciate Li Yifeng more and more. Not only does he have a soft shooting touch like Yao Ming, but he is also better than traditional centers in terms of mobility. What's even better is that he has the precision that most of them don't have. Outside three-point ability." "Magician" Johnson is very optimistic about Li Yifeng, "And during the holiday, Li Yifeng specially asked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to learn how to shoot hooks for a week. Not bad, but it's a pity that Li Yifeng didn't use this as his regular offensive method."

After the intermission, the game continued.After Li Yifeng came on the field, he changed his plan. Instead of hitting the inside as hard as in the first half, he started jumping from the middle distance to reduce the physical contact with the opposing players.This is what Phil Jackson specially ordered to protect Li Yifeng.

Although Li Yifeng left the basket, the defensive pressure on the Oklahoma City Thunder did not ease. Instead, Pau Gasol, who started in the second half, got more low-post offensive opportunities because Li Yifeng attracted the defense. Score six.Although Pau Gasol's physical confrontation has declined year by year, his shooting touch has remained.

For the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook strengthened their individual breakthroughs, and most of the ball was concentrated in the hands of the two, although direct shots did not cause much damage. Lethality, but the two went to the free throw line one after another, relying on free throws to narrow the point difference to five points.

Li Yifeng played only 7 minutes in the third quarter and was replaced. He scored four points, five rebounds and three assists. The data in the three quarters was 22 points, sixteen rebounds, five assists and two blocks.

The Oklahoma City Thunder seized the weakness of the Los Angeles Lakers' slow inside movement after Li Yifeng left the court, scored fast breaks one after another, and caused Yao Ming's defensive fouls three times, further narrowing the point difference.Then Russell Westbrook made a successful steal and then assisted Kevin Durant to make a three-pointer to overtake the score.

Although the score was overtaken, Phil Jackson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He didn't call a timeout or perform a personnel rotation, but let the players solve their own problems on the court.At the end of the three quarters, the Los Angeles Lakers relied on Tracy McGrady's ultra-long three-pointer at the buzzer to enter the final quarter with a slight advantage of one point.

Li Yifeng went into battle again and became like the first half again, attacking the inside of the Oklahoma Thunder one after another. In order to defend Li Yifeng, the Thunder's two insiders, Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka, respectively Four backs and three defensive fouls.

In the next game, although the Thunder's second youngsters Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook relied on their super personal ability to score successively, and Kevin Martin also maintained a high level of shooting, but facing With the Lakers blooming both inside and outside, the Thunder can only end in regret, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers by 112 to 122 points in the away game.

With 22 points, 68 rebounds, [-] assists and [-] blocked shots, Li Yifeng won the title of the best player of the game, overshadowing Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook Starlight scored [-] points together.

The Golden State Warriors' starting lineup includes center Festus Ezeri, power forward David Lee, small forward Harrison Barnes, shooting guard Klay Thompson, and point guard Stephen Curry.The starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers remains unchanged.

Today's Golden State Warriors have already become a force that cannot be ignored in the West.

In the first quarter of the game, Li Yifeng continued the state of the previous game, scoring [-] points in a single quarter, and also had four rebounds and one assist.However, the performance of David Lee of the Golden State Warriors was not weak at all. Facing Pau Gasol's defense, he scored [-] and [-] rebounds in a single quarter.Although Li Yifeng once switched defenses with Pau Gasol, but David Lee did not fight Li Yifeng face-to-face but avoided Li Yifeng.David Lee is not an idiot either. Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka of the Oklahoma City Thunder can't stand Li Yifeng. .

In the second quarter, Li Yifeng played less than 5 minutes and did not score, but grabbed [-] rebounds, bringing his total number of rebounds into double digits.However, the data of this rebound is a bit watery, because after Li Yifeng grabbed it, he smashed it to the basket and then grabbed it himself, so he got three rebounds.

In the second half of the game, Li Yifeng seemed to be Dirk Nowitzki incarnation. He continued to shoot mid-range and long-range jumpers, and even used Dirk Nowitzki's stunt "Golden Rooster Independent" many times, scoring nine points and four rebounds in a single quarter.He was replaced by Josh McRoberts at the 35:[-] mark of the third quarter.

In the last quarter of the game, Li Yifeng scored 6 points, 118 rebounds, 105 block and 29 assist in [-] minutes, and then was replaced.

Golden State's young shooting guard Klay Thompson scored 24 points and had six turnovers while guarded by Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady.Stephen Curry, who faced Steve Nash, surpassed Steve Nash in both scoring and assists, scoring [-] points and [-] assists, while also having two steals.

Phil Jackson felt a little jealous when he saw Stephen Curry. Why didn't I meet such a young and outstanding guard?But when the eyes shifted to Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe, they became complacent. None of you have any. These two future stars of the Lakers team have more than the strength they have shown now...

After defeating the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers also started another road trip of their own. In the next four games, they will face the Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Basketball nets.

In the game against the Sacramento Kings, in the matchup with DeMarcus Cousins, Li Yifeng completely blasted his opponent.But DeMarcus Cousins ​​took what he suffered from Li Yifeng on Pau Gasol.

Without the inside pillar, the Sacramento Kings completely collapsed when the outside shooting percentage was not high, and only scored 35 points in the half game.Adhering to the principle of "killing you while you are sick", the Los Angeles Lakers stormed the inside line of the Sacramento Kings.
