Chapter 1974 How Unreasonable Can One Be?

No one expected that the second quarter would start like this. The Lakers hit four consecutive three-pointers, directly widening the point difference to 13 points. The Thunder also called a timeout in just 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

There is no way, the Lakers have been so accurate in these rounds, which directly destroyed the momentum of the Thunder at home.

On the Thunder coaching bench, Brooks felt a little anxious at this time. He didn't know why the Lakers suddenly played so resolutely on the outside. Ji Feng broke into the paint twice without shooting, but just passed. This was beyond everyone's expectations. This also made the Thunder's previously formulated tactics completely ineffective.

The Lakers are the most three-point shooting team in the league, there is no doubt about it.

This season, the Lakers averaged 12 three-pointers per game, and their field goal percentage reached 41.4%. Both statistics ranked first in the league. In this era, this number is already exaggerated. It is basically unprecedented. After all, like the Celtics Such a team only takes 12 shots per game.

But this is understandable. It’s not that the Lakers have many three-point tactics, but that there are really too many people in the Lakers who can shoot three-pointers. This season, 6 Lakers averaged more than 1 three-pointer per game, the most. Ji Feng ranked first in the team with 4 three-pointers per game with a field goal rate of 65.4%, followed by Kapono with 1.9 three-pointers per game, Kobe with 1.6 three-pointers per game, and Kobe with 1.2 three-pointers per game. Farmar, Blake who averaged 1.1 three-pointers, and Artest who averaged 1 three-pointer, and even Barnes who averaged 0.9 three-pointers per game and Fisher who averaged 0.6 three-pointers per game.

In short, if it were not limited by the times, the Lakers' three-pointers should be more terrifying. After all, it is still an era when the inside is king. Although the center has declined, even outsiders are used to starting from the inside. For example, Ji Feng, this season The most scoring methods are low post singles and breakthroughs in various positions.

Although Ji Feng's three-pointers are already exaggerated, and he has almost dominated all three lists in this era. He made 232 three-pointers in only 58 games this season, which is higher than Allen's 82 games last season. There are still many more shots to be made, and Ji Feng has become the symbol of three-pointers in this era.

However, in the playoffs, it becomes more difficult to shoot three-pointers. Generally speaking, every team's three-point shooting percentage and number of attempts will decrease when entering the playoffs. The Lakers are no exception. In previous games, the inside line was basically the main goal. Lord, after all, this is the safest and more suitable for the competition of this era.

The Thunder have naturally studied it, so the defense in this game is still based on the inside. Ji Feng will attack when he breaks through. However, this wave directly disrupted the Thunder's defense. The Lakers have already hit 7 three-pointers. If they don't care about it anymore, it will be over. Damn it, you can't pray that the Lakers won't score a three-pointer in the future. This also makes the young Brooks a little bit more flexible, but the Lakers' current shooting is too accurate. He has to try to change tactics to let the defender watch the players outside the three-point line. You can't easily recover the flanking attack.

But Brooks was slightly worried. Such defense would undoubtedly increase the possibility of Ji Feng, Kobe and others breaking through and scoring. Even though Ji Feng only scored 7 points now, who dares to underestimate Ji Feng is definitely out of his mind.

But at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it. At the same time, he also emphasized the offensive problem to Durant and the other three young masters. Once the defense failed, he could only put all his efforts into attacking with attack!

Well, it's a very far-sighted tactic, because the Thunder's changes are of no use.

On the first goal back, Westbrook's breakthrough was interfered with. Perkins was lucky to get the rebound, but was almost intercepted by Ji Feng who recovered it. He hurriedly passed the ball, and Harden next door caught the ball, broke through and threw a throw to get two points.

However, this slightly lucky goal did not change the Thunder's situation. The Lakers continued to choose the horn tactics, but it was Ji Feng who dribbled the ball. Two inside players were on both sides of the free throw line, and two shooters opened up space in the bottom corner.

The essence of this tactic is that the ball holder can choose one of them to cover to form a pick-and-roll, and the ball holder will not be interfered by the defender. Then, one of the two insiders will follow down and the other will bounce out.

Ji Feng chose Gasol to pick and roll. After the pick and roll, Gasol pulled away. Ji Feng made a direct breakthrough. Perkins had to cover up. Ji Feng faked and passed to the corner so that Safrosa did not dare to move. , then Ji Feng recovered a high throw, and Bynum completed the dunk with an alley-oop!

Win in 6 consecutive rounds!

This number is still accumulating. In the seventh round, Ji Feng went to the corner. Kobe controlled the ball and was flanked for the ball. Ji Feng hit his second three-pointer and finally scored in double figures.

In the eighth round, Black assisted Kobe, and Kobe made a fake move to dodge the defense and get a layup. In the ninth round, Ji Feng made a comeback and assisted Black for another three-pointer!

It wasn't until the tenth round that Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer to end the Lakers' terrifying offensive!

But at this time, the Lakers used 9 rounds to score 5 three-pointers and 4 two-pointers. A wave of 23-10 attacks gave the Lakers a huge 21-point lead.

The Thunder scene was completely silent, and the fans seemed to have not recovered from this wave of offensive...

"It's fake..." The on-site commentator dropped the microphone in his hand. This 6-minute offensive simply refreshed his world view.

After the timeout, the Lakers' offense slowed down, and the Thunder took the opportunity to regain some points through Durant's efforts. However, the Lakers then scored two more three-pointers and still held a 16-point lead at halftime. This was also The largest half-time point difference in four games.

60-44, the Thunder are a bit square.

Thunder locker room during halftime.

Brooks didn't get angry this time.

Because he couldn't find a reason to get angry.

Who is to blame?

Durant and Westbrook?

One of the two scored 16 points, and the other scored 11 points and 5 assists. They basically performed at their own level. If you want to scold them, you can only scold them for not performing beyond their normal performance, but can they also be scolded for their extraordinary performance?

Blame Harden?

Harden came off the bench and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. He performed well. The best Sixth Man award is just like this. Although it is not as good as the previous game, everyone understands that it is impossible to ask Harden to perform every game. Get 30+.

Blame the role players? Ibaka, Perkins, and Safrosa all completed their tasks well.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the Lakers for not playing according to the routine!

Outside line, why is it so accurate!

In the half, the Lakers made 11 three-pointers, using only 16 shots. Needless to say, the shooting rate was terrifying. It can only be said that it shocked Brooks for a hundred years.

The Lakers had as many as 6 three-pointers. Ji Feng, Kobe, Blake, Kapono, Artest, and Farmar all scored three-pointers. This directly made the Thunder wonder how to defend.

With such a shooting rate, any tactics and any remarks are redundant. They have been cast like this by the Lakers.

"The Lakers are really unreasonable." Brooks said with emotion after a long time.
