NBA: I coach Kobe

On the Lakers locker room, everyone’s expressions were serious.

Even a veteran like Kobe Bryant’s expression is very serious, and Howard, who was still talking outside just now, is also very serious, without any funny meaning.

Although you can say it casually in front of reporters, the game still has to be played seriously.

Howard, in particular, has been in the league for almost 10 years and has not had a championship, and his desire for a championship is very strong, even more than anyone else in this locker room.

Lin Li himself is also nervous, this is also his first Western Conference semifinal, but he still pretends to be very relaxed on the surface.

He clapped his palms and said: “It’s only the first game, you just have to play according to the tactics we set, it’s absolutely fine, and the opposite Westbrook is not playing, we should be able to win very easily.” ”

Bryant nodded and said, “Well, coach, we must play according to the tactics.” ”

And Simon said seriously: “Lin Chen, do you really want to wrap Durant?” ”

Simon intends to defend Durant single-handedly, on the grounds that if he wraps Durant, everyone else is empty, and in the regular season, the team that wraps Durant basically loses.

Lin Li waved his hand directly.

Now the Thunder have a stable scoring point for Durant, of course, there is another one, but today can not play, if you defend Durant, you must not limit Durant’s scoring.

Durant has the ability to change the tide of a war.

“The Thunder only have one super scoring point from Durant right now, and he doesn’t have a lot of assists? It shows that he attacks with the ball, does not like to pass, does not pinch him, does it let him burst us? ”

Lin Li took the scout’s data, this season, from the regular season to the playoffs, the data of everyone in the Thunder is on it, at a glance.

As Lin Li said, Durant is a super scoring point who is good at offense, and he is not as willing to pass the ball as he did in later generations.

After all, the Thunder’s tactics are very single, Durant plays Westbrook, Westbrook plays, Durant plays.

Now that Westbrook is injured, there is only one Durant to play, not surprisingly, the Thunder will give a lot of shots to Durant in this game, Lin Li estimates that Durant has made more than 30 shots, you say don’t wrap him, do you let him blow him alone?

Simon was immediately persuaded by Lin Li.

“Then who will guard against him?”

“Ci Shiping, you are mainly defending Durant, Kobe Bryant you have to pay attention to the bag, the Saffrosa you defend, the offensive ability is not strong, so you have to rest assured to go to the bag!”

Soon, Lin Li also finished talking about everything to be arranged before the game, and the two teams began to prepare for the field.

Charles Barkley also began to introduce the lineup on both sides:

“On the Lakers side, point guard Steven Nash, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Ci Shiping, power forward Paul Gasol, center Howard”

“On the Thunder side, point guard Reggie Jackson, shooting guard Safforosa, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Ibaka, center Perkins.”

“I feel that there is really no way to play this game, and the gap in this lineup is really a bit big.”

“If Westbrook is here, we still have a good chance to win this one.”

“What about this inside, although Ibaka is very strong, but how does Perkins play Howard, you must know that in the last round of the series, Howard couldn’t find Jordan Jr.!”

“Uh-huh, that’s true, but what can be done, it depends on the players’ play, maybe Perkins suddenly played today!”

Obviously, the first game of the Thunder’s home game, the Thunder’s own fans are a little less confident, after all, the gap between the two teams is indeed a little big, they now miss Westbrook immensely, even if they are watching the game now, the mobile phone in their hands is constantly swiping, wanting to brush the news that Westbrook will return to the next game.

It’s a pity that it didn’t brush up.

With the referee’s whistle, the game officially begins.

Howard jumped over Perkins, which anyone can imagine, how could Perkins’ size and weight jump over Howard.

Lin Li also felt very doubtful about this, why didn’t the Thunder let Ibaka jump the ball, but it could only be put in the stomach, and he couldn’t run to the Thunder bench now to ask the head coach of the Thunder team.

The ball on the Lakers’ side.

Howard blocked Kobe Bryant in the high position, and Kobe bypassed Saffrosa’s defense of himself, rushed directly in, and with his top speed, directly passed the defensive Ibaka.

But Ibaka is one of the few fierce fighters, even if he is shaken off, he still chases behind.

And the inside has an interior like Perkins, although Kobe is still sure of scoring this goal, but still did not choose Toda, wants to pass back the ball, and is giving back Howard.

But such a pass, it was a mistake, and it was stolen by Ibaka who was chasing behind halfway.

Lin Li watched from the side, still shaking his head.

Kobe seems to be a little too cautious this time, but Lin Li is not worried, a veteran and superstar like Kobe Bryant, the ability to self-regulate is very strong, I believe that he will recover after a while.

On the Thunder side, Ibaka made a steal and immediately handed the ball to Jackson, allowing him to launch a fast attack with the ball.

In the end, Durant scored the first goal in the midst of the fast-break chaos.

2:0！

The Thunder are temporarily ahead.

This also made the eyes of the Thunder fans on the scene shine, is there still a chance for this game?

Lin Li immediately extended a palm to the Lakers on the sidelines, indicating a change in tactics and letting Nash give the ball to Howard to play.

For Lin Li’s arrangement, Nash said that he agreed very much, and since Kobe Bryant’s state was a little wrong, he would leave it to Howard to play.

This is also the benefit of having more stars.

After Howard’s physical strength is a little exhausted, it is estimated that Kobe will recover, and then give the ball to Kobe Bryant, but it is really not possible to have Nash and Gasol.

Nash hit the ground and passed to Howard in the inside position.

Yao Ming didn’t waste the opportunity, he didn’t even bother to use his dream footsteps, and directly relied on the crushing of his own body, and easily took two points on Perkins’ head.

2:2, the two teams were tied!
