NOVEL NEXT Chapter 95
"Huh?"
Kobe's eyes were focused, and he raised his head to meet him. The aura of the"Black Mamba" king was fully displayed. It can be seen that Westbrook just nudged himself and did not take it seriously.
Given.
Kobe's three-step basket has been activated, so Westbrook's cutter will send Kobe to the free throw line and execute two free throws. at the same time.
The scene just now was replayed in slow motion on the big screen. Westbrook angrily gave in and hit Kobe Bryant on the chest with his"little pink fist".
I was also looked at carefully by everyone.
"What is Westbrook doing, flirting with me?"
"I hit your chest with my little fist, oh oh oh oh~~~"
"Hahaha, I can’t live without laughing.~"
"To be honest, Westbrook is really giving in!"
"That is, that is my department, but the"Black Mamba", with his prestige and popularity, looking at this league, who dares to easily get involved? Who dares to provoke?"
"......"
The fans were talking among themselves.
Barkley saw this and couldn't help but laugh,"Russell didn't play well tonight, and he must be very angry and unhappy to be shut out by Su Hao.
In this situation, he still gave in to Kobe. This is giving Kobe enough face and respect!""
"Yes."
O'Neal also nodded with a smile,"In this league, it's rare to find a player who can calm down the hot-tempered Westbrook.
I think
Westbrook also respects Kobe from the bottom of his heart and appreciates Kobe."
"Indeed."
That's right.
If it was an ordinary player, such as the sophomore Clarkson, even if he committed a big foul first, he would still scold Clarkson. But now.
Kobe pushed him first, but he held back and admitted his defeat. This is the greatest respect and love for Kobe, and it also shows Kobe's popularity and influence in this league.
"Bang!"
""Swish!"
With Kobe making one of two free throws, this episode was over.
At the same time, the situation of Su Hao and Westbrook exploding one-on-one was no longer there. The Thunder began to let defensive stalwart Andre Robertson guard.
At the same time,
Ibaka and Durant on the wings and Adams under the basket were ready to assist in defense. To put it bluntly, they wanted to double-team Su Hao and strangle him.
Similarly, on the Lakers side, Randall also went to entangle Durant, and Clarkson, Kobe and Su Hao were also ready to assist in defense.
Whichever team can strangle the team's offensive core will be closer to victory.
Of course, it is impossible for either Su Hao or Durant to be completely defended, so......In the second half of the second quarter, Su Hao was seen defending against two people and scoring at the basket. Durant often blocked shots against two people.
The hit is unreasonable in the mid-range shot.
Su Hao vs. Durant, the two staged a confrontation between unsolvable breakthroughs and unsolvable mid-range shots.
Who wins?
No one wins.
But Su Hao was more efficient when attacking the basket, but......In addition to Durant, the Thunder's Westbrook offense that avoids Su Hao cannot be ignored. at the same time.
Ibaka's solid mid-range, Adams' frame protection, and Robertson's fierce defense all performed their duties and played a role.
On the other hand, look at the Lakers.
At the second point of attack, only Kobe Bryant and Clarkson faced off against Durant tonight. They were completely crushed and couldn't perform to their standards.
Jokic and Randall have average offense.
Fortunately, on the defensive end, he actively fought for rebounds and created many second offensive opportunities for Su Hao and Kobe, which was a good job.
Thus.
End of halftime
【Lakers 70:66 Thunder].
The Lakers have a 4-point advantage.
Halftime break.
On the commentary stand.
O'Neal said:"Su Hao played as bravely as ever tonight. Not only did he shut out Russell in the first quarter, he also scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the first half.
Still......
Attack and defense.......On the Thunder side, the performance of"Death God" Kevin Durant should not be underestimated. He also scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the first half.
If Russell hadn't been so bad in the first quarter, the leading team should be the Thunder now."
"Indeed."
Barkley nodded and said,"But the Lakers have always been good at both offense and defense. In addition to individual strong offense, they will also use excellent defense to force opponents to make mistakes, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack and gain the lead.
The two teams have their own characteristics in offense, which also created this tense duel."
"Yes."
And if we talk about the second half of the second quarter, the confrontation between Su Hao and Durant was just an introduction, then after the second half came, the entire third quarter was reduced to a confrontation between Su Hao and Durant.
Durant He also made 5 of 10 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 16 points.
Su Hao made 6 of 10 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 19 points, even better than Durant after three quarters.
【Lakers 99:100 Thunder].
Thunder overtook by 1 point?
What?
Su Hao obviously played better than Durant, but Thunder recovered 5 points in a single quarter and overtook them?!
Yes.
Because the overall strength of Thunder is still much stronger than Lakers. With Durant and Su Hao attacking and exploding each other.
Led by Westbrook and Ibaka, the other Thunder players played better than the other Lakers players led by Kobe.
The score difference was narrowed and overtook.
However......There is only 1 point and one quarter left. This fierce and anxious duel is still going on.
Rest between sessions
"With 40 points in the third quarter, Su Hao still played at the"rookie ceiling" level tonight even if he faced the"Turtle" Westbrook.
The debut is the peak.
This is the best adjective for Su Hao."
Onick said with emotion
"really.
Barkley nodded repeatedly and said,"Because of Su Hao and this talented rookie, the Lakers are rising crazily." tonight.
They met the Thunder, their strongest opponent so far this season, and they were inseparable. They continued to dominate the league with the Warriors with 14 consecutive victories.
Or just end the winning streak.
The final battle of life and death will be decided."
Said.
The last quarter is coming.
After only 3 minutes and 13 seconds of rotation, the starting lineup of both sides returned to the field. The point difference is still 1 point, and the final battle of life and death begins.
"Guys, take down the Thunder!"
""Guys, take down the Lakers. The Lakers have won 13 straight games!!!"
Kobe and Durant shouted to encourage their teammates, and the fierce battle rose to the level of the playoffs from the beginning.
Boom!
The defense of both teams was strengthened.
As a result, even a strong player like Durant had a lower offensive efficiency, and Su Hao's efficiency also dropped slightly, but after all, his offense was more focused on the basket.
Even if he couldn't score, there was still a possibility of fouling.
So.
After the defense was completely improved, Su Hao was obviously better than Durant, until the last 3 minutes of the last quarter.
Su Hao scored another 13 points.
Durant only scored 4 points, but......The performance of players such as Westbrook and Ibaka ensured that the Thunder's overall offense was not inferior to that of the Lakers
【Lakers 122:121 Thunder].
In the last 3 minutes, the Lakers led by one point, and the game was extremely tense.
As the physical strength was exhausted and the defensive intensity continued, the state of both teams also declined.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two teams began to strike, and both teams fell into a scoring drought. This continued for a full 2 minutes.
When the fans were looking forward to who of the two teams could score first and open up the situation for the team, they were cold. Full 4 minutes Durant
"Swish!"
""Shua!"
At the critical moment, he turned into the"God of Death", made a three-pointer with a screen, a three-pointer from one meter away, and a three-pointer against Randle's defense. He made two cold-blooded three-pointers in a row.
He scored 6 points in a row, instantly helping the Thunder to overtake by 5 points, leaving the Lakers with only 22.4 minutes and seconds, and directly killed the game!!!
