Chapter 691. 691. Unexpected Strong Enemy
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers scored more than 78 points early, and the Thunder only scored [-] points. They will give up resistance in the final quarter.
It was another night of disappointment for the Oklahoma City people, just like a Thunder fan left a message on social media, "It's like being hit with a sap all of a sudden, telling me this is the true strength of the team, the so-called championship It's just a lie from the team owner to trick me into buying a ticket."
The momentum is completely on the side of the Lakers. Thunder boss Bennett's personal Twitter is full of angry comments. Fortunately, he himself doesn't care much about these young people's new gadgets.
During the intermission, Walton is still carefully arranging tactics, drawing running positions around the two core players of Lin Feng and Lao Zhan.
"You think we've won, don't you? The Warriors were almost reversed by the Clippers in the last quarter three days ago. It's just that Rivers' team was a bit unlucky. The Thunder have George and Westbrook. They have that completely. Ability to add some color to the game.”
Walton is cautious. He hopes that the team will develop the tension in the game from the first round, which will help them enter the game faster.
"Gary, keep marking Westbrook, if that guy's on the floor anytime soon."
Westbrook played almost the entire third quarter. Regardless of personal fitness, being on the court for a long time without rest will accumulate the risk of injury. Therefore, Donovan has a high probability of sending out a rotation lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
This is exactly what Wharton is looking for. He wants to crush the opponent's confidence in one fell swoop during that period of time and completely kill the game.
"I will lead the defense of the core players on the opposite side, and leave the rest to you." Lin Feng's words were full of domineering.
Lao Zhan smiled, "Yes, Mr. Leader, we are willing to follow the arrangement."
Everyone laughed at a joke, and their team atmosphere is great.
Leading by 24 points, the Lakers players are somewhat slack, and it is the situation where the opponent is full of difficulties.
When he came back again, Donovan really put Westbrook and George on the bench, or maybe he simply gave up resistance.However, this possibility is very small. After all, in a full 12 minutes, there is still some hope of recovering 24 points.
Abandoning the game too early will make fans angry, and it will also appear that the team has no desire to survive.
Instead of replacing Felton, Donovan made Deonte Burton, who didn't play in Game [-], play point guard.
The 193-centimeter Burton was recalled from the Development League before the start of the playoffs. He was an older draft pick in 2017. He and his teammate Abdul Nader were teammates at Iowa State University.
Burton looks mediocre, without any impressive statistics, and usually only gets some chances in garbage time, but tonight he was replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Westbrook's eyes were dull off the court, and his eyes didn't move much while watching the court.Next to him was George with a towel on his head, looking down at the floor.
Walton made minor tweaks to the lineup, with Kuzma replacing Beasley at the four to give the latter some time off.
The first ball belonged to the Thunder, and the new Burton dribbled through half court. This was his first playoff game.Hart, who was defending him, was waiting outside the three-point line, and the two kept a distance after meeting at the top of the arc.
Morris pulled out to cover, and Burton rushed to the basket without hesitation, which made the Lakers players unresponsive. This guy made a surprise layup and scored two points.
"Deonte Burton, it seems that he has made a few moves. The breakthrough just now is still very solid."
Yang Yi from Tencent's live broadcast studio commented.
Brother Meng is flipping through his record book. He knows very little about this guy. After all, he is just a marginal player who can't play.
No one cared about that guy, but the kid named Deonte Burton brought a "surprise" to the Lakers.
Lao Zhan missed a three-pointer from the outside, Da Mo took off the rebound and handed it to Burton.
"If it wasn't for the number behind him, I would have thought it was Westbrook." Yang Yi smiled.
Brother Meng nodded, "Indeed, from dribbling postures to offensive choices, they are very similar to Westbrook. The same team meets every day, and role players will inevitably be influenced by big-name stars.
After making two free throws, Lin Feng made brief eye contact with him and swept them away.That kind of determined look came from a development league player. Lin Feng thought that this guy was not simple.
Soon, the Lakers paid the price again.
Burton intercepted Lao Zhan's cross pass, gave it to Schroeder, and quickly advanced forward. Schroeder was also a bold man, and tried to pass the ball high in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng jumped up to try to intercept, but the ball was passed by luck, and Burton caught it comfortably.
McGee's single defense at the basket, one-on-one, Burton didn't stop the ball, turned around and wiped McGee beautifully, and sent the ball into the basket easily!
This guy came on and scored six straight points, like Gary Smith of the Thunder.
Walton called a timeout, which was not what he expected.
The sleepy Thunder fans saw a glimmer of hope. Many people exclaimed that such a powerful player is sitting on the bench of their team?
The few Thunder fans at the scene also got excited. They sat up straight and prepared to see if there was any turning point in the game.
Burton was cheered by heroes on the bench, Westbrook was elated, and George threw away the towel and smiled.
"We have to admit that our defense is not good enough, otherwise the kid wouldn't be able to score consecutively."
The Lakers coaching staff has always emphasized defense, but was pierced by a player from the Development League, and it was still the case that the core of the team was present.
"Gary, go and put some pressure on him." Wharton pointed to Lin Feng, and then drew a circle on the tactical board.
Back again, Lin Feng confronted Burton. He wanted to say something but really didn't know what else he had besides his name.
"Hey buddy, you did a good job just now." Lin Feng started talking.
"I regard you as an idol, isn't it the last round pick, and I was not selected by any team. I originally planned to retire after playing in the Development League for a few years, until I saw your story."
When I met the "little fan", I don't know if what he said is true or not. It is also possible that Burton wanted to let his guard down, because those opponents who chose to fight head-on all failed.
Changing the offense, Lin Feng received the pass from Lao Zhan and flew to the basket. His scoring offensive continued.
thunderball.
It's still Burton, this guy has no fear when he meets Lin Feng.The two confronted each other at the top of the arc, and Burton was like a battle-tested veteran, handling the ball with ease.
Speaking of this kid, Lin Feng met him when he represented the South Bay Lakers in the Development League, but he didn't pay much attention to him at the beginning.
When Morris came out to cover, Lin Feng naturally would not switch defenses, relying on his sixth sense to prepare to go around the screen and continue chasing.
Who knew that Burton shot a three-pointer directly and went into the basket!
After scoring 9 points in a row, Lin Feng looked at this guy with admiration. He had to show some real skills to calm Burton down.
