Chapter 262: Personal Heroism

The Depps Center is a star-stage stage. There is never a shortage of stars here, and there is no shortage of from the field to the off-the-scene.

The first three rows of the Lakers' home court are always filled with all kinds of celebrities or rich people. Beckham, hip-hop king, oil tycoon, basketball celebrity... Here, you can never treat yourself as a star, because a guy who is more famous and richer than you may be sitting next to you.

Giardina is also the happiest to watch football in this environment. Because only among these big names can people not ask her for an autograph. After all, compared with others, Giardina is too naughty in terms of reputation and qualifications. Her arrival will not cause any trouble to the Staples Center.

From the moment when I sat down, Gardina's eyes never left the Thunder's tall No. 6 center. Most of the people who came here were just to see Kobe. But Gardina was not like, she was a Thunder fan!

From warm-up to the end, Giardina did not let go of any scene of Angel. When people were cheering for Kobe's warm-up, only Giardina's eyes were aimed at the Thunder's warm-up half.

In fact, Anjie had already seen the arrival of the girl during the warm-up process, but this was a game that was too critical to be more critical, so he did not say hello to Gardina, and he did everything to make himself not have to be distracted.

Devoting all his heart to the competition is what Anjie wants to do at the moment.

"An! You'll give me more inside lines today! But after the victory of the last game, the Lakers will definitely strengthen their defense against the inside. Because of your relationship with Westbrook, their defensive lineup will inevitably shrink to the basket. At this time, Seyfersa and Durant, your chances will come! You performed very well in yesterday's training, and I hope your form can be continued to this day." Van Gundy knew that Westbrook and Anger's score would not be so easy today, and Durant must shoulder the responsibilities that the core of the team should bear.

"Even if you pass the ball, I won't miss it today." Durant patted Angel and Westbrook's backs. When he just warmed up, Durant felt that there was no problem with his touch.

"Also, Morris and An, pay attention to the number of fouls. The Lakers' triangular offense will allow you to face players who broke through from the outside many times. Although they were pressed and beaten in the last game and failed to show this feature, today, we still can't take it lightly." Van Gundy is not worried at all about Gasol and Bynum will cause any trouble to his inside line. The person he fears the most is Kobe.

On the Lakers, Phil Jackson didn't say much. He had arranged the arrangement yesterday and had the players practiced it. These guys are no longer rookies, they are players of the championship team. They know how to read the game and how to make changes according to the situation.

The only thing that is worth worrying about is Kobe's swing. If the generals of the Purple Gold Legion are in excellent form, the Lakers will perform well. If the generals of the Purple Gold Legion are not playing well, the Lakers' performance will be greatly affected.

As time passed, the players on both sides took off their training suits and stood in two different halfs.

Fischer, Kobe, Artest, Gasol and Bynum, the Lakers' triangle remains the same.

Westbrook, Seifrosa, Durant, Morris and Angel, the Thunder's third young master are also eager to try.

Everyone was staring at their opponents, and the competition on the field made these two groups of people form a bond. They were all waiting for the whistle to slap their opponents with the most brutal and effective means.

Before the referee threw the ball, he stopped the conversation between Anjie and Bynum. Before the game began, the two guys started to fight.

At the beginning of the game, An Jie still got the basketball first.

After days of adjustment, the Los Angeles Lakers will definitely be very different. For teams of the Lakers level, it is enough to make them look new.

The Thunder's first offense hit a wall in Westbrook's failure in breakthrough.

The Lakers' defensive position was indeed not as Van Gundy expected, and it contracted very hard. The purpose was to kill Westbrook's impact and Angel's inside singles.

When Westbrook borrowed Angel's pick-and-roll breakthrough, he realized that he was rushing into the crowd.

As soon as Yi stepped into the three-second zone, three or four arms were paddling in front of Westbrook. Looking back, the route of the ball was blocked. Westbrook had no choice but to resist the interference of Fischer and Artest, and the result was obvious.

After getting the ball, Fischer still controlled the rhythm of the Lakers. When Kobe ran to the designated location, he passed the ball without hesitation.

As long as Kobe received the ball, the Staples Center seemed to be ignited, and the cheers immediately increased.

Gardina was mixed with these crazy cheering people, but she was cheering for Angel in her heart.

Kobe held Sefersa with one hand and slapped the ball with another hand carefully. Suddenly, Kobe threw Sefersa away from the distance.

For a scorer like Kobe, the distance of yi steps was enough for him to punch. Seeing the Swiss chasing, Kobe suddenly stopped suddenly and turned around. Seeing this, Seferossa immediately braked and jumped to block the block.

Unexpectedly, Kobe's "turning" was just a shoulder shaking action. Kobe easily deceived Seferos, and made a jump shot.

After scoring the goal, Kobe shook his head with the cheering rhythm of the fans. In this game, he was in good shape!

However, just a few dozen seconds later, Durant used precise three-point shooting to regain confidence in Thunder fans. The Lakers' contraction defense allowed Durant to complete the shooting calmly. So what if the Black Mamba is in good condition, our scoring champion is also in good condition!

Afterwards, the Thunder and the Lakers fought back and forth, and it was difficult to solve. It was true that Kobe and Durant were in good shape, but with the full defense of both sides, the offensive pressure of other players became greater than that of the previous game. Therefore, the performance of others was simply a replica of Kobe and Durant the day before yesterday!

On the Lakers, only Kobe and Gasol swung normally. The Thunder and Westbrook's breakthrough is useless now, and Seversa's shooting is not accurate today. Morris? Under such a tight contraction defense, the Damanniu, who is not good at attack, has no idea how to start.

The Thunder, now only Angel and Durant can take the lead.

In this case, the head coaches of both sides will definitely let the players on their bench play in advance, so as not to waste opportunities for players in poor condition.

However, what Van Gundy and Phil Jackson did not expect was that the players on his bench performed poorly. At most, they could only be considered as just a normal person.

In fact, the reason for this situation is not because others are in poor condition, but because others are really unable to make a difference in this high-intensity defense. It can be seen that the head coaches of both sides have spent a lot of effort on defense.

The yi quarter game also ended 2 minutes in this situation of high and low opening, 22 to 26, and the Thunder temporarily fell behind the Lakers by four points.

After seeing the strength of the Thunder, Los Angeles fans would not cheer for this mere four-point advantage. They have not forgotten that in the last game, the Lakers took many leads, but they still lost. Against the Thunder, the four-point advantage is far from enough!

During the break, Spike Lee raised the camera and frantically filmed all the scenes of Kobe Bryant off the court. He was working hard for Kobe's next documentary. The playoffs further highlighted the most realistic Kobe Bryant.

Although Spike Lee is a die-hard fan of the New York Knicks, this did not hinder his appreciation of Kobe. In addition, all the stars have become ordinary fans at this moment, shouting wildly and stomping their feet. In Staples, no matter how big you are, you can only become a supporting role. Because the owner here is the guy wearing the No. 24 jersey.

Giardina was upset by the noisy environment here, and she had become an alien in this audience. She was cheering when others were sighing. When others were cheering, she seemed depressed.

Kobe's performance in the yi quarter was indeed good. His single-quarter scores made up for his teammates' low shooting percentage. But now you can't see Yi Shi's smile on Kobe's face, because Durant and Anjie each scored eight points in a single quarter.

The game entered the second quarter, and the situation did not change at all. Artest and Fischer got several open shots, and Kobe also shared the ball in time. However, all the open shots of these two guys hit the box. Although Fischer was already so good, his offense was no longer as good as he did in his high-intensity defense.

Seeing that he could not break through the Lakers' iron-like defense, Westbrook also placed his shooting point on the outside. However, he couldn't even make a shot from the inside, so it was not easy to shoot from the outside.

Fischer was afraid that Westbrook would break through, but not that he would shoot. This experienced guy knew when to interfere with the shooting.

In the second quarter, the Lakers and the Thunder hoped to enrich their offenses, but they all ended in failure. It was not until Durant got an All-in-One pass that the scoring drought between both sides was finally broken.

It seems that the next game will not be too different from the first quarter.

After Durant opened, Anger also began to dig into the inside according to Van Gundy's arrangement. It has to be said that Morris's ability to restrain himself is getting stronger and stronger. When he was present, Anger could calmly play singles with Bynum. Gasol next to Yi wanted to come to protect the penalty area, but Morris often refused to let him succeed.

With Morris' efforts, the Lakers' double towers were broken into two independent parts. Gasol and Bynum could not take care of each other on the defensive end.

If the Lakers' overall lineup had not been too severely contracted, Anjie would have had more offensive opportunities.

55 to 53, the leading team at the end of the second quarter became the Thunder, but the advantage was only two points.

At the end of the half, Van Gundy and Zen Master both said a lot in the locker room. However, the effect of the tactics depends on the players' execution and swing. In this regard, the head coach can do nothing.

In the third quarter, Van Gundy drew a lot of tactics for other Thunder players, but the effect was not very ideal. He knew that it was very difficult for Angel and Durant to win alone, and the facts also proved that when both of them were out of the field, the Thunder's offensive efficiency would be greatly reduced.

But what Van Gundy didn't expect was that the Lakers still had not adjusted. Except for Shannon Brown's touch slightly, others still presented fans with y-shaped symphony composed of ironshots.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the situation in this game will not change much. As expected, until the last minute of the game, the rhythm was like a mistake in the first quarter.

Today Bynum got more opportunities to play mobile phones than in the last game, but he was not sure. Under Anjie's defense, he only hit 3 goals in yio. This shooting percentage is definitely not qualified even if it is on the outside players, not to mention that Bynum is an offensive center.

Even Bynum's shooting percentage has become like this, so there is no need to say anything else. Sevorsa made 2 of 7 shots, and Odom made 2 of 9 shots... This game really promoted personal heroism.

Kobe and Gasol's singles are the most efficient way to score for the Lakers, and Durant and Anger's singles also have the same effect on the Thunder.

In 45 seconds, Durant failed to make a mid-range shot. But at this moment, the Thunder still led by two points, 93-9yi.

In 30 seconds, Kobe's breakthrough caused Anjie's third personal foul. However, the Black Mamba, who stood on the free throw line, made a rare mistake. He only made two free throws, 93 to 92, and the Lakers were still behind the opponent's points.

In 20 seconds, Anjie sat in the penalty area and wrestled with Bynum. The game full of setbacks had already made Bynum unconfidence. Anjie easily hooked the black guy on the head, and the Thunder expanded the score gap to three points again.

Staples Center is already dead silent at this moment. Even if Kobe can hit him, the Lakers will have to play in overtime with the Thunder. However, Kobe, whose physical strength has dropped seriously, is not sure that he can pull the Lakers back from the cliff.

Is it really going to give birth? The rare powerful Purple and Gold Legion will lose two consecutive games at its home court?

To be honest, many people have given up, including Bynum, Odom, and Lakers fans who left early.
