Chapter 164: Kobe Bryant

The Lakers hit 10 three-pointers in the half, setting the team's three-point record for the season.
The Thunder apparently didn't expect that the Lakers' three-pointers in the previous games have been unsatisfactory, and this three-pointer will break out.
In addition to Li Liang's point before, the Lakers outside Kobe and Nash were very cautious in their shots and rarely shot.
Ci Shi was not careful, but he wanted to invest.
Others, Morris, Duhon, Meeks, Jamison, etc. all had a moment.
The opponent is basically in a semi-abandonment state. You can vote. If you enter, I'm out of luck.
Tonight it was different. First of all, Li Liang continued his steady contribution. Brooks did not seriously study whether Ibaka or Durant should defend Li Liang.
Secondly, Nash opened this point, leading the attack from the first quarter and hitting continuously.
Although he couldn't resist Westbrook, he scored against Westbrook in scoring.
When this three-pointer hits, Brooks knew he had to take a timeout.
The team had a big problem in defensive matchup, and thought that relying on inertia would not play at home.
Unexpectedly, the Lakers played so targeted tonight, really underestimated Mike Brown.
Mike Brown was sitting on the bench, thinking the team was playing well, and he was doing well tonight, haha.
Pause, veterans have a good rest.
Each coach has a different style of suspension. Some coaches like to delay time and hold tactical boards.
It's like a school teacher delaying a class.
Depending on the situation, some coaches need to talk about it and let players rest to calm down and make adjustments in stages.
Mike Brown favors the latter, suspending more as a regulator rather than a small classroom.
Besides, apart from arranging tactics at critical moments, he didn’t listen much when he suspends his regular talk.
It would be better to hear Li Liang say, this guy has a mouthful of mouth, the head of the talk is right.
Mike Brown wanted to sit by and listen to him for a while.
There is no way. After all, he has been trained by coaches John Wooden and Bob Knight, and has received some true stories.
Tonight the Lakers are in very good shape overall, and Li Liang is also very excited.
An old, experienced team like this can get excited, and all that remains is to beat the opponent with experience and skill.
After the timeout, the two sides returned to the court.
Thunder's top priority is to solve the defensive problems, how to pinch the Lakers' three-pointers?
The method given by Thunder is simple, just increase the intensity!
First, a change was made in the matchup, so that Sefolosha went to defend against Nash, Durant stared at Kobe, and Westbrook played against Ci Shiping.
This choice is correct, no matter who Kobe is defending, in fact, the effect is almost the same.
He had to rely on collective defense to deal with him.
Durant still has long arms, and the defense is more disturbing.
Westbrook's defense against Nash is obviously slack because of much offensive effort.
After switching to Sefolosha, one-on-one close to the defense, the effect is much better.
After all, 38 years old, not the son of the wind who can lie down and shoot.
As for Ci Shiping... let him go.
After the Thunder came back, they successfully defended the Lakers for 24 seconds, and then quickly served in the backcourt. Westbrook held the ball quickly and rushed to the basket!
Caused Howard's defensive foul and hit the free throw line.
Looking back, Nash passed the ball to Howard. Howard hadn't caught the ball for a long time.
Is Perkins so good?
Squeeze back inwards, a left hand hooks, miss!
Li Liang grabbed an offensive rebound and the layup caused Ibaka's foul.
Lying trough, where did this guy come out?
Li Liang is really good.
He is now playing power forward, but when attacking, if the top of the arc does not handle the ball, he will squat the bottom corner.
Then he waited to slip from the bottom line to the inside to grab a rebound.
And instead of slipping from the court, he ran into the court from outside to steal rebounds.
You can block the inside card, you can't get stuck outside the stadium?
Before playing the Spurs, he used this trick to steal two offensive rebounds.
That's it, Li Liang made an offensive rebound and hit the free throw line.
This season, Li Liang has not missed the free throw line.
Although it was mainly because of fewer penalties, he did make free throws.
This is the area where Lao Tzu once ate, can it be unstable?
In both free throws, the difference is still 10 points.
In the last few minutes of the second quarter, Kobe showed off their old leather side.
The Thunder are really quick to chase points, and Durant's offensive efficiency is very high.
As long as he takes the ball and plays one-on-one, there are basically opportunities to come out.
Li Liangfang is also right. Your 70-point perimeter defense ability is impossible to get the scoring leader.
But Durant chased the points and the Lakers also scored.
After the Thunder's defensive strength went up, there was a problem that the action was easy to foul.
Kobe made Durant's shooting foul twice in a row and hit the free throw line.
There is no way to get older, and we must use speculation and tricks.
Besides, don’t you have a great time in Durant?
This foul free throw will hurt the opponent's morale, second, it can break the opponent's rhythm, three...can rest.
The Thunder became more and more irritable, and there were some small disputes between Durant and Westbrook.
In a match from the outside, Durant asked for a half-sky, and Westbrook hesitated not to give it.
Finally, the result was rushed up and hugged by Li Liang, to fight for the ball.
Upon seeing this, Li Liang was still doing peace affairs and said, "Don't quarrel, it's good to quarrel, what a fight."
Durant and Westbrook both glared at Li Liang, this person is so annoying!
[Rage value +25 from Westbrook]
I rely on it, and received anger from Westbrook.
This is a good thing for Li Liang.
Appropriate anger can enhance the player's fighting spirit, but too much anger will affect the player's judgment.
In the case of a bad situation, the core guard should still remain calm and slowly lead the team to reverse the situation.
Li Liang and Durant jumped the ball, the ball is still in the hands of the Thunder.
Westbrook received the ball from the perimeter, no matter whether it was three, seven, twenty-one, I first pulled out a crushing surprise!
But he no longer had the feeling of making three-pointers and three-pointers in the first quarter, and the ball hit the basket.
Li Liang stuck Ibaka firmly and Bryant received a backcourt rebound.
The Lakers played here in a hurry... Oh, Kobe suddenly...
What is the success rate?
Kobe took advantage of the Thunder's instability, directly into the ball with the ball, causing a foul on Sefolosha.
The Thunder's defense line just couldn't help, and the referee's whistle was a bit diligent.
Kobe made two free throws, and the point difference came to 12 points.
Westbrook did not believe in evil, and after the dribble halftime, screened with Ibaka.
Then the top of the arc went straight for a three-point shot!
Ci Shiping moved forward a little bit and met Westbrook's body.
The referee estimated that the thunder was too tight, so he whistle and gave Ci Shiping a foul.
At the same time, the ball also hit!
Play four points!
Westbrook turned over on the ground, and Durant stepped forward to yell and celebrate.
Is there any tactics? No, it is personal ability, it is tyranny.
Free throws missed by 8 points.
This ball greatly boosted the morale of the Thunder.
This moment is another moment when Kobe stabs away fans.
His continuous dribble operation on the outside line, using the cover of Howard and Li Liang, after sliding into the inside line, facing Ibaka's block, a high layup succeeded.
The Kobes flew straight out of the bottom line and the referee didn't foul.
At 62:52, the 10-point difference was like a hurdle in front of the Thunder players, and the entire first half never passed.
Kobe Bryant scored 8 points in a row and was deadly.
Westbrook played very well in the first half, hitting four three-pointers and scoring 21 points.
Durant is extremely efficient ~ EbookFREE.me ~ 5 shots, 3 free throws made 3 and scored 14 points.
But they were still 10 points behind because the Lakers played better.
Kobe, Li Liang and Nash, the three Zhuge Liang played a high level.
Allow the Lakers to lead the first half with a lead.
The Lakers players gave each other high-five encouragement, Bryant stepped forward to Li Liangdao: "It's a good game, there is still halftime, stick to it."
Li Liang nodded, then a line of subtitles appeared in front of his eyes:
[Mission, "Scoring King Killer", Mission Requirements: Contain Kevin Durant's field goal percentage within 50%. Mission rewards: several runes, one rune slot, several rune upgrade fragments, and one special item. 】
After several consecutive games, the system finally remembered to send Li Liang a mission.
But this task is really a bit difficult.
