The second quarter was full of ups and downs. In the first half, the Lakers combined inside and outside and launched a large-scale attack. Durant and Kobe scored back and forth, which made the fans on the scene even more excited.

In the second half, Angel appeared and the Thunder's tactics changed again. This time, people saw a completely different game rhythm from the first half. The insider's head-on battle and the cruel showdown between the big men became the theme.

Now, in the last three minutes of the second quarter, both sides sent out most substitutes. But the Lakers retained Kobe, while the Thunder retained Anger and Durant. Fans don’t have to worry about the last three minutes of the game suddenly becoming dull. As long as those three guys are there, the game will never be dull.

Sean Livingston, the first high school point guard in history, was so glorious that year that he even received an invitation letter from coach K. But under the temptation of fame and fortune, he was in the middle.

If this guy had played under coach K for a few years, his career might be smoother. However, he could not regret the decision he had made. In the first few years when he was highly anticipated, his performance could only be described as a flash in the pan.

After that, people gradually forgot this outdated high school genius, the team started trading him, and then his next boss would choose to trade him. He seemed to never be an indispensable member of the team. As long as there was a need to add chips, Livingston would always be the first to be considered.

But after signing with the Thunder halfway through last season, everything changed.

He began to have a fixed playing time, and he became a regular in the rotation lineup. He found that he could get along very well with his teammates. He found that he finally found a sense of belonging.

Although Livingston's personal abilities are limited now, as long as he plays, he will always fight to the death. He is willing to fight to the Thunder and Van Gundy. Because the Thunder and Van Gundy did not abandon him again!

"Shaan Livingston's incision is very fast! Although he is also a high defender with a height of 2 meters, Vujasic's degree is much worse than Livingston!" Although Anjie was holding the ball with his back from the middle distance on the left, Barkley saw a guy wearing a blue jersey on the weak side and cut in without the ball.

As long as there is an opportunity, you can't escape An Jie's eyes. His height makes his vision wider and allows him to show opportunities that others cannot see.

Angel did not hesitate, calculated Livingston's degree, and suddenly hit the ball against the basket.

The basketball bounced to the ground and refracted again. Livingston happened to arrive, but he did not make any adjustments when receiving the basketball and made a layup directly!

If even Livingston, who is attacking, cannot make adjustments in this situation, then Vujasic will be even more unable to make any adjustments in defense.

He had enough effort to catch up with him, and before he could even take off, Livingston scored the ball.

This yi ball is Livingston's second consecutive cooperation with Angel. At this time, the Lakers also changed from leading by two points to falling behind two points.

The reason why Livingston can play so smoothly is because of the word, positive!

Vujasic's performance this season is very unstable. God knows if it is because he devoted more energy to Sharapova. In short, this high defender's low post in the heart of the Zen master has become lower and lower. Now putting him up is to make Livingston's height advantage ineffective.

As a result, Livingston scored the ball, but it still scored twice in a row. Seeing the Zen master shook his head gently, Vujasic was even more anxious!

In competitive sports, you can mobilize your emotions and let yourself burst out with greater strength. But if there is a kind of emotion that will definitely harm more than good, that is, you are anxious.

Vujasic wanted to prove himself in front of the Zen master, but the more he thought so, the worse he performed. Livingston easily changed directions in his individual direction, and cleaned up the Slovenian who was eager to intercept the ball.

After Livingston broke through, Bynum's defense was naturally attracted. At the same time, Angel followed Livingston's pace and cut in, hoping that this high point guard could see him.

Livingston stared at the basket, but suddenly his wrists trembled, and he could not remember to watch the pass. And Anjie, who received the basketball, was only a step away from the basket. Odom tried his best to jump from behind Anjie, but he still couldn't stop this guy from dunking with his height advantage.

"How many have An deducted today? Can you still count it?" Barkley rarely said the Thunder and said Anjie's sarcastic words. On the contrary, he liked this team more and more, and the Yi6 center.

"The key point is not Ann's dunk Charles, Phil Jackson would never have thought that Livingston's performance would make Vujasic very embarrassed! Livingston's breakthrough pass in this yi ball is the most important part!" Miller was born as a defender, so he naturally unconsciously focused on the defender players in the game. Although Anger was the end point of the offensive, the performance of that attack on Ston was the brightest part of Miller.

This is Sean Livingston. His average data may be too dull. He is the type of average data that anyone who can play nBa can get. But occasionally, once the tactics match his appetite or his condition improves, the effect will be very huge.

Unfortunately, Zen Master and his Lakers just happened to catch up with this day.

In addition to Livingston, Ibaka's performance was also as good as ever. The fans have never stopped discussing which one he or Morris is more suitable for playing. In other words, Ibaka has the ability to play, and his defense not only did not disappoint Presti and Van Gundy, but instead made expectations.

If it weren't for Morris' ability to restrain himself and his tacit understanding with Angel, Van Gundy might have really pushed Ibaka up.

When Anjie devoted more energy to the offense, Ibaka used his fast assisting defense, terrifying bounce and accurate jumping timing to repeatedly hinder Kobe's breakthrough and offense. If Odom's shooting ability wasn't too tough and he scored a goal, Ibaka's defense could be described as perfect.

In these three minutes, the Zen master originally thought that Durant would be the most dangerous ending point. Unexpectedly, Durant disappeared in these three minutes. Ibaka, Livingston and Anjie formed a brand new iron triangle. They connected each other on the defensive and offensive ends, revitalizing the Thunder.

On the Lakers, Kobe led the second team to a single fight. Shannon Brown lost Kobe's trust after missing two shots. Vujasic was completely unable to find his form on the court, and his running position also made Kobe unable to hand over the ball with confidence. Odom scored two goals, but Bynum missed all three shots. From this point of view, Kobe had no choice but to choose his own singles.

Just under the huge shouts of Chesapeake Energy Arena, the advice of the two sides in the second quarter ended. Lakers players all walked off with their heads down with a grievance, while Thunder players all smiled and celebrated each other.

44 to 5o, under Anjie's dispatch and his own attack, the Thunder not only caught up with the gap between yi's 8 points, but now he has also reversed by 6 points. The performance in the last three minutes is the most critical reason for this situation.

When Kobe is isolated and helpless, it is also the time when the Lakers are the least efficient. Kobe is great, but only when the Yi team works together can he win the championship.

"Bang!" It was not until Jackson, who walked into the locker room, that Kobe's ears finally calmed down. No wonder Anthony capsized the gutter on the Thunder. The atmosphere at the Chesapeake Energy Arena was really not inferior to Staples.

Of course, the interference of fans is only a secondary factor. Kobe knew that the Lakers must play more like a team in the second half so that they could win.

"Gasol, Bynum, you should be tougher in the second half! But at the same time, you need to be calm and not irritable. Tough but not rude, do you understand?" Phil Jackson rarely worry about his double towers, but in this series, the Lakers double towers are the place with the most loopholes.

"You will also receive more balls from Bryant later, and don't let him fall into the Thunder's siege. Have you seen it? When Bryant holds the ball, the Thunder's defensive lineup will form an encirclement without knowing it. No matter which direction Kobe breaks through, he must face the defense of two opponents. As long as others are active and can score, the encirclement will definitely lose its effect!" Jackson rarely talks about tactics like this, because the teams he leads are generally very excellent teams. In such a team, the players are very autonomous, and Zen masters don't have to talk about them like teaching children.

But when fighting against the Thunder and facing Van Gundy with clear and rigorous tactical thinking, Zen master had to remind his players at all times that there were too many tactical changes that the Thunder team's lineup could make. Just the offensive core and tactical core, Van Gundy could have three choices.

"Let me control the ball later, you must actively run the ball." As soon as the Zen master finished speaking, Kobe spoke.

Suddenly, everyone focused on Kobe. Looking at his expression, Kobe was definitely not joking!

After half of the game, Kobe wanted to win! He remembered last year's Western Conference semi-finals, Yao Ming's perseverance in front of the Lakers, and remembered that they had to fight with the Rockets to tiebreak.

The big Chinese man actually caused trouble for him in the same place for two consecutive years. They won the Rockets last year, and this year, Kobe will also win the Thunder!

Yao Ming and An Jie are both worthy of respect, but only by defeating them can we express our respect in our hearts.

Yao Ming sat in front of the TV and sneeze. Injury also has the benefits of being injured. At least he lives very comfortable now. However, when watching this game, Yao Ming frowned throughout the whole process.

An Jie on the field is like he was last year. They are not afraid of power, they challenge the championship!

"I hope you can pass the test." On TV, the third quarter game had already appeared. Yao Ming became focused again. He stared at the TV quietly, looking forward to An Jie's second half of the game.
Chapter completed!
