Chapter 1962 Danger! The Situation Is Critical!
But scolding will be scolding, controversy will be controversy, and dissatisfaction will be dissatisfaction, but this is the NBA. The referee's penalty cannot be changed, and this emotion will not change on the court. The fact is that the Lakers have to face at least 4 minutes or even The unfavorable situation of Kobe not being able to play more of the time.
Zen Master stood up and called the players back to the bench. He had just gone to negotiate with the technical desk for a long time and yelled at the referee to express his dissatisfaction. The referee may have been cowarded. After all, this is Staples. Look at the fans on the sidelines. With his expression as if he was about to be killed one by one, it would be difficult for him to give the Lakers another technical foul, because he might not be able to get out, and the ball just now was indeed controversial.
But this did not change the situation. The Thunder took the initiative to call a timeout, just to seize this golden opportunity. The Thunder head coach excitedly took the tactical board and shouted: "The opportunity is here, guys, Collison, you did it." good!"
He was on the sidelines for 2 minutes. Collison's statistics were 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists. He was flattered to be called out by the coach. Now it seems that he just accidentally caused a hitter from Kobe. It was a stroke of genius. Without the accumulation of fouls, There would be nothing that happened later, so although he was a small role, he did change the situation on the field.
This is the game. Not only does it change rapidly, but it also affects the whole body.
Collison's mission was completed in this way. Now, all eyes need to be focused on the third young master. Brooks took the tactical version and laid out the tactics in detail: "Kevin, if you come to attack, they will most likely let Ji Feng go." Swing, Artest may be the one guarding you, but I trust your ability, we need it!”
"Leave it to me!" Durant nodded excitedly and jumped twice. He should have been very tired after playing for so long, but the current situation is like giving him a shot of cardiotonic, making him Full of strength, he couldn't wait to do something.
After arranging the offensive leader, he turned to Westbrook, Harden and Safrosa and said: "You must do your best to open up space and create opportunities for Durant. At the same time, your ultimate task is to defend Ji Feng. Lakers We will definitely let Ji Feng take on the offensive responsibility on the field. As long as we limit him, victory will be ours!”
"Leave it to me!" Westbrook nodded heavily. Harden and Sefolosha naturally had no objection. At this time, they just wanted to win.
The two black and tough guys inside are naturally responsible for fighting for rebounds, blocking positions and other blue-collar jobs, and they have long been used to it.
"Listen, this is our best chance, win or lose, it depends on this!" Brooks shouted heavily, staring into the players' eyes before taking the field.
"BEAT LA!" Harden roared first.
Unlike the Thunder, the atmosphere on the Lakers side is a bit tense. It stands to reason that the Lakers have a thick lineup and many people who can score. Although Kobe Bryant is important, Ji Feng is the real core.
But tonight is different. Tonight, the Lakers' tactics were broken. The Lakers focused on individual heroism. The scoring was concentrated on Ji Feng and Kobe. Only Bynum scored in double figures. Gasol only scored 8 points at this moment. points, so it's not that they can't do it, but that their main focus is not on the offensive end in this game. At this time, Kobe can't play, and the pressure suddenly increases.
"We need to withstand the pressure in these few minutes. Ji Feng and Artest will play at the same time, Farmar will play the second position, and the inside line will remain unchanged." Jackson first made the personnel adjustment.
As for the tactics, Zen Master was ready for Ji Feng to accept them. At the same time, he designed several tactics for playing inside, hoping to use Bynum's height to deal with the opponent, and at the same time share the pressure for Ji Feng.
The pause is over!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Although the Zen master's face remained calm, the way he continued to walk in front of the coaching bench dragging his sick leg proved that his mood was not as calm as it appeared.
Sure enough, his worries were justified. The motivated Thunder almost eliminated the disadvantage in the first round.
The Lakers attack, Ji Feng passes the ball, and Bynum misses Perkins in a single!
This ball is very critical. Perkins is indeed the Green Army's brave inside player. He made a very beautiful defense at this critical moment. He did not lose his position. Although Bynum is very powerful, he is not good either. On the other hand, relying on experience, he forced Bynum to turn around, so his hit rate was naturally not guaranteed.
And Ibaka protected the rebound, and the Thunder pushed back.
The ball was given to Durant, and Artest defended him. This was also a duel that had been expected for a long time. I have to admit that Adu is a player with a big heart. At this moment, he did not choose a more reliable breakthrough, but Call the pick-and-roll to open up space and shoot a three-pointer!
If the ball doesn't go in, then Durant will take the blame, but if it does...
"Kevin~~~~ Durant! The crucial three-pointer! Beautiful shot, he helped the Thunder even the score!" Smith explained with a grin.
"Roar~!!" Adu roared excitedly, this ball finally brought all the depression back.
Subsequently, the frustrated Lakers made a passing error, and Farmar could only commit a tactical foul and send Durant to the free throw line. He made 2 of 2. Durant scored 5 points in a row, and the Thunder once again overtook the score.
"The situation is not good. The Lakers need someone to score, otherwise they will always be led by the nose." Director Zhang expressed concern about the situation on the court.
But it wasn't over yet. Westbrook completed another steal on defense and used a dunk to widen the point difference to 4 points. The situation was in danger.
Zen Master was helpless and prepared to call a timeout, but Ji Feng stood up. He also understood that the Thunder was in full swing at this time and he had to cut off their scoring momentum, so he beat Safrosa alone and used his physical advantage to burst out and cause damage. , made two free throws to help the Lakers stop the bleeding.
Then after Perkins scored again, Ji Feng used an incredible long three-pointer to continue to reduce the Lakers' disadvantage!
The scene was filled with cheers. Kobe excitedly high-fived Ji Feng on the bench and roared: "Kill them and wait for me to come back! FUCK!"
But soon Westbrook assisted Durant to hit a mid-range shot, Ibaka blocked Dajia inside, and Harden succeeded again in the layup!
The Lakers could only rely on Ji Feng to score points. Ji Feng scored 7 points in a short period of time, helping the Lakers keep the score.
With 3 minutes left, the Lakers were 6 points behind 103-97.
Kobe was finally replaced, but the Thunder were already very excited at this time, so even though Kobe used a fadeaway jumper to help the Lakers narrow the point difference, they never tied the score, let alone took the lead.
With 1 minute left in the game, the Thunder still led by 5 points 110-105.
As time became less and less, the Lakers could not help but become impatient at this time. Kobe missed a strong shot on the offensive end...
