Chapter 166 Show the powerful Lakers(2/3)
The Lakers' substitute was beaten back by the Thunder and scored 5 points.
By the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brooks took the lead in replacing the main force.
After Westbrook came on the court, he attacked the basket twice in a row, once for a layup, and once for Jordan Hill to make a foul, making both free throws, and the score difference was chased to only 1 point!
But Mike Brown gritted his teeth and still refused to replace him!
He must let his thighs rest and have enough energy to finish the last quarter.
He didn't want to let the first three quarters of last season be able to bite the situation, but he collapsed directly in the fourth quarter and only scored more than ten points.
The Lakers' substitute is pretty good, and Meeks' touch is very good tonight.
When the score difference was narrowed to only 1 point, Mix broke through the basket, causing Ibaka to foul and go to the free throw line.
Meeks made both free throws and maintained a three-point lead.
A weak lead is a psychological line of defense for the players.
As long as you are still ahead, no matter how many points the player will have a clear mind.
For Thunder players, the 3-point gap is a mountain that is weighing on their hearts.
As long as you can't get over it, the psychological pressure will not disappear.
The Thunder made a mistake! Westbrook made a random pass and was intercepted by Jamison!
Meeks rushed all the way to the frontcourt, Jamison threw the ball to Meeks, and Meeks made a layup!
Still 5 points!
After scoring the goal, Meeks roared with a fist, and the Thunder called a timeout.
Meeks' mission has been completed. Tonight he made 2 of 3-pointers and 4 free throws, scoring 12 points, achieving his best performance in the season.
Mike Brown finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he could send the main player to the field.
The Lakers' main player appeared, and Li Liang shook off the towel he draped over his body.
Everything we should have done well in the first three quarters, and the outside was played. With Westbrook, he successfully defended Durant, and the substitutes had already tried their best.
By the fourth quarter, I was fighting for a bayonet.
The score between the two sides is 89:84, the Lakers lead, with 7 minutes and 45 seconds left before the game.
As soon as we got up, Westbrook and Collison picked and rolled the outside.
Corrison cut inside, Westbrook hit the ground and passed the ball. Corrison received the ball and hit the basket and dunked it!
Looking back, Kobe scored a goal to hit Ci Shiping, who was running back, causing Collison to foul.
Both free throws were made, the Thunder substitution, Collison came to the field, and Perkins came on.
Perkins and Westbrook are playing pick-and-rolls, and the threat is not that great.
Howard focused more on Westbrook, who passed the ball to Perkins, who didn't dribble in.
He passed the ball to Durant on the left.
How long has it been since Durant held the ball?
It was at this time that Li Liang was waiting for his duel with Durant.
The last time the two met up, it dated back to 2007... Of course, it was 2007 in the mission.
Li Liangfang rookie Durant used a sentence "bathing water" to interfere with Durant's free throw and completed the task.
At that time, Durant was still a naughty person, and Li Liang could do it as long as he had normal defense.
Now, five years have passed, Durant has grown into the league's most terrifying scorer.
Li Liang was so excited that before Durant started, he put his whole body on to defend himself.
Durant is not afraid of those who cover their eyes, those who block the shots, or those who move quickly, and those who are bothered by physical confrontation.
Durant first tried to make a little space, ready to break through.
Li Liang suddenly turned sideways and freed his left side for Durant to go.
Durant was not polite and rushed directly to the basket from the left!
Kobe on the wing came to make up for defense!
Two people attacked Durant.
Durant had to take the ball, but the ball hit Perkins' knee.
This useless Perkins, the offensive end is really...
Nash picked up this ball and quickly counterattacked with it.
The ball was passed to Kobe who followed, and Kobe dribbled the ball against Sefrosa and made a throw shot with his right hand!
84:91!
With a strong physical strength, Kobe can help on the defensive end and eat it alone on the offensive end.
Brown's "more rest" strategy is still effective.
At this time, the Thunder were a little anxious and gave the ball to Durant to play 45 degrees on the right.
What have you been doing? Durant did not take the ball well in the entire third quarter.
All the good feel of the first half was lost.
Li Liang was still focused on defense, and he ignored the others, and I had no time.
Durant is defeated by Li Liang!
"Bang!" Failed, I'm going to hit the iron!
Howard grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The situation in Thunder is a bit bad now.
Still giving the ball to Kobe, Kobe stabilized, and Howard got to the basket.
Kobe passed the ball to Howard, and Howard made a series of Sigma steps, and took a hard thrust with his left hand, turned around, and then hit the board with his right hand, hitting it!
84:93, the score difference has returned to 9 points.
The entire Thunder home court was silent. What did it do? I felt like I couldn't beat it?
With six minutes left in the game, Brooks called another timeout.
You should use it when you pause. You can’t draw when you save it in your hand until the game ends.
"We did a good job, guys, stay focused, play more scattered and more steady on the offense. We need two points, success rate, and suppress the rhythm."
Mike Brown asked the players to keep pace. Do you need to say nonsense?
Nash and Kobe on the field, who don’t understand this principle?
Anyway, when you are leading, don’t worry about the experience of these veterans.
What they have to worry about is whether Durant and Westbrook will burst into touch and score consecutive goals.
I can't make mistakes on my side, with a 9-point advantage, 6 minutes, unstable.
The suspension is over, and Thunder is about to fight to the death.
Brooks finally remembered that there was an indiscriminate offensive player Durant on the team.
The ball was served in the backcourt and the ball was handed directly to Durant, and he went to the half.
Li Liang followed the defense all over the game, and Perkins mentioned that he would play pick-and-roll for Durant in the middle line.
After blocking Li Liang, Durant took the ball and accelerated to rush in!
Howard blocked the free throw line, Li Liang threw away Perkins and chased her desperately.
When Durant saw Li Liang following him, he suddenly slowed down and then leaned forward in the horn position to jump shot!
Li Liang stretched out his hand and the referee called a foul.
"What! I reached out and fouled? Did I foul it when I touched his hair?"
Li Liang loudly questioned the referee.
"You have violated his cylinder, it is your body, not your hand."
The referee is still doing popular science for Li Liang, and he has never seen such a good referee to the players.
Li Liang has no choice, you said yes.
Durant made both free throws, 7 points behind.
Come back, the Thunder's defense further improved, and Kobe made a mistake in passing.
Westbrook took the ball and rushed to the frontcourt and fought back with Durant on two fronts.
Li Liang chased after him, but failed to catch up.
Durant succeeded in filling the basket with both hands!
