Chapter 190: The outcome is uncertain?(1/2)
Olajuwon couldn't help but clapped in front of the TV. He had handed this action to many inside players, but only Anjie could use it in the official game and did it very beautifully.
"If you half-turn around, then step on the lower shaft foot inward, it will be even more perfect." Although there are still flaws, Olajuwon is still very pleased.
Bynum is not a good guy. If Kobe hadn't been pressed in the locker room, maybe this guy would have done something.
Bynum would not sit still and wait for death by An Jie to be so provoked. However, An Jie is not afraid of him, because An Jie is also not a "bad good person".
Bynum was dizzy and provoked by An Jie, so Bynum could not respond immediately in the subsequent offense. Unfortunately, it was not his turn to Bynum to decide the Lakers.
Although Sevorsa's defense is very hard, Kobe is always the top scorer in the league. He used his fast movement to cross Sevorsa's half position, and then suddenly stopped suddenly and changed to a back-attack, seeking opportunities at the low post!
Anjie knew what Kobe wanted to do. The older Black Mamba was gradually changing his game style. The low-post back-playing has become Kobe's usual offensive trick.
Kobe began to shake his shoulders. Seeing the familiar double shoulder movement, Anjie made a quick decision and secretly pushed Bynum away, and rushed towards Kobe.
Kobe shook his shoulder and quickly turned over and jumped up. Anjie guessed right!
Seferossa reacted quickly, but it was still faster than Kobe's move. When Kobe threw the basketball out, Seferossa stretched out a big hand behind him.
Kobe's basketball shot exceeded Seferossa, but failed to cross the Oriental Tower.
"Bryant's shooting is very beautiful! It's a pity that Anjie has seen through his intentions long ago!"
The only drawback is that the blocked shot fell into Kobe's hands. Kobe chose to break through directly after receiving the ball again. An Jie quickly adjusted his pace, chased Kobe and jumped, and knocked Kobe to the ground due to inertia.
Kobe still scored the ball in this ball, and the referee did not call a foul because Anjie's hand did not touch Kobe's cylinder range at all.
Although it successfully stopped Kobe from taking the first move, the person who laughed to the end was still the tenacious No. 24.
After Anjie landed, he was about to pull up Kobe who fell, but Kobe didn't show Anjie's face, and cooperated very much and grabbed Anjie's outstretched hand.
Even so, neither Anjie nor Kobe spoke to, nor did he smile. They had a good relationship in private, but now they are enemies of each other!
"On the court, Angel and Kobe do not respect anyone, even if they are friends in private! Because Kobe and Angel are both full of desire for victory!" Reggie Miller can understand the current mood of the two because he used to be the same attitude towards Jordan.
Bynum was very unhappy about Kobe's own strength, but he could not have any complaints. If he had any conflicts with Kobe, then he would only be the one who left.
The frustrated Bynum naturally exhaled all his anger on An Jie, so in the subsequent attack, An Jie found that he was receiving more and more small actions behind him.
Although this made An Jie very uncomfortable when attacking, he also successfully stuck Bynum to his side.
Now Bynum just wants to completely guard against Anjie, and as for others, they rarely take it into consideration.
After pulling the Lakers' inside defensive pillars aside, Westbrook and Angel can play their specialty.
After two consecutive cuts, Angel accurately delivered the ball to Westbrook. Faced with Odom's backup defense, Westbrook had hundreds of ways to avoid the block.
After that, Kobe wanted to continue to make trouble at the low post, but unexpectedly, under the entanglement of Severosa and the timely backup defense of Anjie, Kobe's shooting rate was not ideal.
As promised, Phil Jackson temporarily replaced Kobe with a poor touch and rested. The Third Young Master Thunder took this opportunity and gradually took the initiative back.
The second quarter was much more exciting than the first quarter, mainly because the third young master of the Thunder were able to score wonderful goals frequently.
After Bynum left the field, Lakers substitute center D.J. Mbenga provided an performance stage for Angel.
With beautiful steps and smooth turn, An Jie fully portrayed his efforts since summer.
An Jie still reserved some of the previous games and played very simply. But today, An Jie's wonderful performance surprised everyone.
"In today's Brutalist centers are rampant, Anjie's performance is really pleasing to the eye! The center cannot be played well with just a body. The skills are also crucial for big players!"
3 of 4 shots scored 9 points in the single quarter, and also sent 4 assists to Durant and Westbrook. Anjie, who was troubled by fouls in the first quarter, staged a perfect return of the king in the second quarter!
The score of a single quarter is 20 to 26, the total score is 52 to 5yi, at the end of the first half, the defending champion did not take any advantage, just led the lead!
"The outstanding move of the Third Young Master of the Thunder is the key to their reversal. Look at the Thunder's score in the three-second zone in the second quarter. The Zen Master must miss Gasol very much now." Not only Angel, Durant and Westbrook also scored a lot of points in the Lakers' interior with breakthroughs.
When Morris was in the inside, the Lakers' defensive pillar could stay at the basket unscrupulously. But when Anjie entered the penalty area, the situation was different.
This is why Morris can only be a right-hand man, and cannot be arranged as a role that stands alone.
In the first half, Kobe scored yi6 points, which was achieved after he only played for a few minutes in the second quarter.
Although An Jie only scored 9 points, all of these 9 points came from the second quarter. After a half-time contest, it can be said that neither side could stop anyone, and neither side could find a way to restrain each other.
In the locker room during the intermission, Zen Master and Van Gundy can make not many adjustments. How to win will have to wait for a while to play in the second half before you can see it.
Therefore, when both sides came back in the third quarter, the situation still did not change. Kobe's back-to-back singles repeatedly created fouls from Sevorsa, and Odom played with ease in both Morris and Ibaka.
Morris has more experience than Ibaka, but his abilities cannot keep up.
Ibaka has the ability to limit Odom, but his understanding of American basketball is still not thorough enough.
As for Collison and Costic, these two inside defense black holes cannot help.
The Thunder's offense also made the defending champion unable to think of a countermeasure. Compared to the strength on the offensive end, Odom's performance on the defensive end was not satisfactory.
Today, Durant faced the defender he was most afraid of, but unexpectedly played very smoothly and efficiently.
His off-ball run is no longer the same as last season's youth. Durant's off-ball offense makes Artest confused. As long as Durant runs out of the chance, Anjie can pass the ball out in time and accurately to help his teammates score.
If Angel in the second quarter is like Olajuwon, Angel in the third quarter becomes Divac, the former gorgeous king.
In addition to the third young master, Seversa also stood up to share some scoring pressure. He made three shots, scored three-pointers and scored mid-range shots. The goal he didn't score was also made up by An Jie, who was stuck in the basket. When Kobe's shooting percentage was still poor, he could only score points by making fouls, the Thunder had unknowingly turned the situation around!
Bynum got very few phones under Anger's defense. He has only hit the ball until the third quarter, which is his only shot.
When Kobe made another 4 shot, Bynum finally couldn't hold it in.
Seeing that Kobe was caught in double team again, Bynum raised his hand to ask for the ball. Kobe also knew that the team was behind now and had to mobilize others. So he made a slam pass and let the basketball pass through Durant and Seferossa's legs and came to Bynum steadily!
From the second quarter to now, Bynum has made 2 of 3 shots and can be said to have performed very well. He believes that the reason for his low score is simply because of the few shots.
When faced with Anjie's singles, Bynum is still full of confidence!
Anjie quickly took a steady step and held Bynum's strength point at the waist. Although Bynum has excellent physical fitness, his skills at the basket are also not bad. However, like Bynum, Anjie is also full of confidence in his defense! He only made Bynum score two goals in front!
Bynum started to work hard. He did not have the superb steps and turn as well as Anger. If he wanted to advance to the basket, he could only play with the backrest.
With a weight of nearly yi3o kilograms, coupled with strong body and huge strength, Anjie was knocked back by Bynum. Anjie's weight almost stopped growing after entering nBa because he wanted to maintain his flexibility. Although Anjie's strength is good, his weight disadvantage is still not solved.
It seems that the weight gain plan must be picked up and continued.
Although Bynum successfully advanced continuously on the surface, he actually worked very hard. Anjie's resistance made him feel very uncomfortable, and the small movements behind him were no less than himself!
Kobe had already gotten rid of double-teaming at this time. He raised his hand to ask Bynum for the ball, hoping that Bynum could return the ball rights. But how could Bynum, who had finally advanced to the three-second zone, give up this opportunity to score so easily.
He chose to ignore Kobe, turn around forcibly, and prepare to attack the box.
Bynum was so close to Anjie at this time, so when Bynum turned around, Anjie saw the time and racquet on his hand and racquetted the basketball in Bynum's hand.
Just when Westbrook, who was picking up the basketball and preparing to fight back, began to raise the referee's whistle sounded.
"Thunder team yi6, the fourth foul!" Suddenly, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was booing.
"Are you kidding me and I? I hit the ball with my whole hand!" An Jie couldn't bear it anymore. This was obviously a perfect defense.
Bynum proudly slapped his teammates with high fives. No matter how he judged, he would accept it as long as it was beneficial to him.
The referee did not see the ball clearly. After all, the naked eye is different from the machine, so there will inevitably be mistakes. Although it is a misjudgment, the result will not be changed. After the nBa playback center knew that this was a misjudgment, it did not release the playback on the large screen and TV on the spot to cover up the referee's work mistake.
Fortunately, Sefrosa went up and pulled Angel away, and Angel stopped complaining to the referee. The referee knew that he was in a disadvantage and did not punish Angel who kept talking.
Bynum stood on the free throw line, and the whole game booed. The free throw was too short and failed to hit.
Kobe shook his head with his waist and did not go up and slap Bynum.
The second free throw was too heavy, and it hit the basket's neck, but it still failed to hit. An Jie immediately stepped under the basket, blocking everyone behind him, and steadily taking the rebound.
Although this free throw did not make the Lakers score, An Jie took his fourth foul, which was very dangerous!
After that, Van Gundy quickly took Angel down and sent Morris up again. Although Angel was missing, Westbrook and Durant who had opened still controlled the rhythm on the field.
7yi to 73, this lead team turned into the Thunder. Kobe's shooting percentage on 4 shots became the main reason for the Lakers' lag. If Odom hadn't suddenly exploded today, the score difference might have been pulled to double digits long ago.
"I can't believe that the Thunder, which ranked ninth last season, actually played hard to match the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers! After winning the previous few games, some people will question the Thunder's strength, but now, I don't think there will be any more opponents that can explain the problem than the Lakers. The Thunder is very strong, and this point does not need to be doubted anymore!"
That's right, Presti's draft finally achieved results this year. The Thunder are very strong, but the Lakers are also very strong. The winner of this game may be.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the third young master of Thunder was sitting on the bench, and the Zen master also left Kobe, Odom and others to rest. Now the score is almost tied. When these people come on the court, it is time for the two teams to start a decisive battle.
Morris and Ibaka played very well against the Lakers' weak second-line defense in the interior. But the Zen master was not in a hurry. After all, the Lakers' outsiders are still Xiangnong, Brown, Jordan Famar and others.
However, compared with the perimeter shooting with lower shooting percentage, Morris and Ibaka's inside offense is more efficient.
These two high-quality rookies with excellent physical fitness have turned the Lakers' inside line upside down, but when Zen master took Bynum to the court in advance, the situation turned around again.
Bynum's appearance completely cut off the offensive momentum of Morris and Ibaka. It's completely meaningless to leave the second team on the court. Van Gundy waved his hand, five to five, and he took the lead in sounding the horn of the decisive battle!
The impatient Bynum still failed to score points on Angel's head again, and Kobe's three-pointer was still "dangdang". Just when Lakers fans were almost desperate, the outside player Artest suddenly stood up.
He first hit the outside line and the arc was very flat, and it seemed impossible to hit a three-pointer.
Durant, who had been in thin body, wanted to make Angel's foul. Fortunately, Kostic helped Angel with it, but what was not changed was that Artest got a lot of free throw opportunities.
The Lakers are slowly approaching the score, to be precise, the scores of both sides have never been widened.
It was not until the last 29 seconds of the game that Durant missed a three-pointer from the outside, which allowed the Lakers to bite the score. 9o to 9o, and the defending champion was dragged into a desperate situation.
At this time, many TV stations gave Kobe the number of successful finale wins below the game screen. There is no doubt that this No. 24 has strong ending ability!
All Anjie can do is to defend the inside line, and he can't jump to the pounce, and he can only look at Seferossa.
Sevorsa completed the final kill last season and also stopped the opponent's final kill. He stared at Kobe with a fierce look without fear!
