Chapter 1765: Forty-two points sweep

"The Son of God of the Basketball Frenzy (
Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals of the playoffs.
The expectant Thunder coach Brooks suffered a headshot in the first half, which is completely different from the stalemate in the last game. This time the Thunder was beaten by the Lakers as soon as he came up.
The tragic 40-20 game in the first quarter was the epitome of the entire game on the court. The Thunder were completely unable to parry, and it took only one section to almost announce the final outcome of the game.
In the second quarter, the reconciled Thunder tried to adjust their tactics. Their head coach Brooks obviously didn't want to surrender like this. He knew that the outside world had high expectations for the Thunder before this game, especially Westbrook in the previous game. Such a loss will definitely greatly affect the players' enthusiasm and self-confidence.
However, Brooks obviously failed to do so.
In the second quarter, they did regain some decline. Durant regained control of the ball. In the last few minutes, taking advantage of Ji Feng's exit, he kept hitting Barnes in singles, reducing the point difference to about 15 points.
However, in the crucial third quarter, the Lakers went crazy again, and the two teams were not on the same level in terms of state and tactics tonight.
All the Thunder's tactics were clearly grasped by the Lakers. At the beginning, the Lakers guessed that they would let Westbrook keep playing singles. Not only did the Lakers let Fisher madly use his body to invade Westbrook's breakthrough, he also kept double-teaming. Forcing Wei Shao can only choose to use shooting to solve the problem.
Westbrook was deceived, and the constant strikes made the Lakers more determined, and the Thunder's confidence went far in the constant strikes.
In addition, the Lakers today are extremely accurate. Ji Feng soared 9 three-pointers in the three quarters, Kobe 6 and Fisher 3, Farmar and Artest both, and even Gasol has one. , This is also his first three-pointer in the playoffs.
With such firepower, the Thunder was beaten 40-21 again in the third quarter...
After the three quarters, Barkley directly used the words horrible to describe the Thunder tonight. He scored 68 points in the three quarters. It is fair to say, a bit low but not unacceptable. However, the three quarters caused the Lakers to score 110 points crazy. Crime!
Smith also complained: "Maybe the Thunder may have forgotten how to defend, do they just think about offense? But their offense is the same tonight. Except for Durant's 16 points in three quarters, everyone else is sleepwalking, especially Westbrook, only scored 9 points in three quarters and had 8 turnovers. Maybe what they need to do is find a way to save their face in the last 12 minutes."
The thunder tonight is a broken thunder...
After the start of the fourth quarter, Durant and Harden teamed up to deliver the last 2 minutes of effort tonight!
When Durant came up, he tried his best to beat Artest and made Artest a thug, and he scored 3 points. Although 3 points are not a big difference for such a terrible difference, it boosted the morale of the Thunder. !
Harden finally played his role. He waited on the weak side three-point line for two consecutive rounds and hit a three-pointer. He scored 6 points in a row to help the Thunder further narrow the point difference. This also caused Zen Master to call a timeout.
Thunder’s commentary was almost crying, tears of excitement, because this is the first timeout that Zen Master actively called tonight...
But Harden didn't celebrate. It must be a fool who is more than 30 points behind and roars...
However, if you can maintain this feeling, Thunder may not lose too ugly, but after the timeout, Ji Feng immediately staged a stunning performance.
With 7 minutes and 54 seconds left in the last quarter, Ji Feng and Bynum broke into the inside after a pick and roll. Facing Ibaka’s defense, Ji Feng did not persuade, but jumped high. However, everyone felt that When Ji Feng wanted the Overlord to make a hard bow, Ji Feng at the highest point suddenly took the ball down!
"Tie rod~!!!" The commentator exclaimed.
I saw Ji Feng fold directly in the air, drilled from Ibaka's side, and then pulled the ball back under the basket again, rubbing the board with his right hand!
Score!
This ball completely reduced the atmosphere of Thunder to the freezing point!
"This ball reminds me of Michael's one. Ibaka was completely fooled. He had a brute force. He must feel very humiliated now." Barkley said.
That's right, Ibaka is about to explode, but even if he is a man dreaming of 28 cards, he really doesn't dare to compete with Ji Feng.
And there is no need. After this ball, the Thunder's desire to chase points is almost gone. This is also a common problem for young people. When encountering huge setbacks, it is easy to fall into their own emotions. This is also the championship team likes to hoard one. The reason for the two veterans, Perkins is okay, but when he arrived for the first time, the people said it was slight. Moreover, this is close to a huge gap of 45 points, and he does not think he needs to chase points.
Brooks also thought so. One minute later, he called a timeout. After the timeout, Durant was replaced and declared the game was in garbage time.
With Yang Yi's classic remarks, "Some garbage players on garbage time", the game ended the last few minutes.
"142-100, the Thunder need to thank the Lakers for letting them offense at the last minute, otherwise they will score a miserable score of no more than 100."
"But even so, the Thunder still lost 42 points away. This is the biggest defeat in their playoff history. At the same time, the 42-point difference is also the Lakers' biggest winning point difference in two years. UU看书www.uukanshu.com" Ken Nismith said after the game.
"Of course, the Thunder fans don't need to be too sad. The 42-point difference is not on the list of the single-game difference in the history of the playoffs." Barkley said with a serious "comfort".
Smith looked at Barkley with slanted eyes and disgust, can this thing be comforting? Would you be happier if you lose 42 points than others who lose 58 points...
It turns out, no!
After this game, the poor performance of the Thunder players quickly rushed into the hot search, and people were discussing what caused the Thunder to perform well in the first game and completely lost in the second game.
The conclusion is of course-Westbrook!
"In this game Russell played like the best sixth man, but it was opposite." said a diehard Thunder fan who declined to be named.
Indeed, from the data point of view, Durant scored the highest score for the Thunder with 27 points. Although it took 18 shots and the field goal percentage was less than 45%, he was facing the three major players of Ji Feng, Artest and Barnes. It is not easy to play defense in turns, not to mention that there are still 7 rebounds, which is not bad.
Although Harden’s 18 points were average, it was much better than the first game. The most important thing is that Harden hit half of the Thunder’s three-pointers, and he also made his first place with 3 of 5 3 The value of six people.
Others such as Ibaka and Perkins are also not bad, although not amazing, but in line with expectations.
The only X is Westbrook. Lost in the game, he scored 4 goals in 15 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 12 points in the game, and 10 turnovers, so embarrassingly different. The double-double is worthy of the name of undercover in this field. The most important thing is that when he is on the court, the winning value is awkward -45.
There is no doubt that Westbrook has been thoroughly studied.
