No one expected the second quarter to start like this. The Lakers hit four consecutive three-pointers, directly widening the difference to 13 points, and the Thunder called a timeout in just 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
No way, the Lakers are really too accurate these few rounds, and the momentum of the Thunder's home court will be lost.
On the Thunder coach's bench, Brooks felt a little bit distressed at this time. He didn't know why the Lakers suddenly hit the outside line so resolutely. Ji Feng didn't shoot inside twice and just passed. This was beyond everyone's expectations. This also made the Thunder's previous tactics completely ineffective.
The Lakers are the league's favorite team to shoot three pointers, there is no doubt about it.
This season, the Lakers averaged 12 three-pointers per game and 41.4% from the field. Both statistics ranked first in the league. In this era, this number is already very exaggerated, basically unprecedented, after all, like the Green Army. Such a team averaged only 12 shots per game.
But this is also understandable. It is not how many three-pointers the Lakers have, but that there are too many people in the Lakers who can shoot three-pointers. This season, the Lakers have averaged more than one three-pointer, the most. Ji Feng averaged 4 three-pointers with 65.4% field goal percentage and ranked first in the team, followed by Carpono with 1.9 three-pointers per game, Kobe with 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.2 three-pointers per game. Farmar, Black with 1.1 three-pointers, Artest with one three-pointer, and even Barnes with 0.9 three-pointers and Fisher with 0.6 per game.
In short, if it is not limited by the times, the Lakers' three-pointers should be even more terrifying. After all, it is still an era where the inside is king. Although the center has declined, even the outside is used to playing from the inside. For example, Ji Feng, this season The way to score the most points is low post singles and breakthroughs in various positions.
Although Ji Feng’s three-pointers are already exaggerated, they almost dominate almost all three lists of this era. In just 58 games this season, he has made 232 three-pointers. Bire Allen has 82 games last season. There is even more to invest in, Ji Feng is already a mark of the three-pointer of this era.
However, in the playoffs, shooting three-pointers is even more difficult. Generally speaking, each team's three-point shooting rate and number of shots in the playoffs will decline. The Lakers are no exception. The previous games were basically based on the inside line. Lord, after all, this is the safest way, and it is more adaptable to the game of this era.
The Thunder naturally studied it, so the defense of this game is still dominated by the inside. Ji Feng breaks through the attack. However, this wave directly disrupted the Thunder's defense. The Lakers have already hit 7 three-pointers. No matter what, it will be over. You can’t pray that the Lakers won’t make a three-pointer afterwards. This also gives the young Brooks a bit of an edge, but the Lakers are shooting too accurate now. He has to try to change his tactics and let the defender look at the players outside the three-point line. Can not easily recover the pinch strike.
But Brooks was faintly worried. This defense undoubtedly increased the possibility of Ji Feng, Kobe and others breaking through to score. Don't look at Ji Feng's current only score of 7 points, but who dares to underestimate Ji Feng is definitely a broken brain.
But at this point, he can only bite the bullet. At the same time, he also emphasized the offensive problem to Durant and other three young masters. Once the defense fails, he can only make a desperate attempt to attack!
Well, very far-sighted tactics, because the Thunder's changes are useless.
After returning for the first goal, Westbrook's breakthrough was interrupted. Perkins was lucky to take off the rebound, but was almost intercepted by the recovered Ji Feng. He hurriedly passed the ball and Harden next door caught the ball and broke the throw to get back two points.
However, this slightly lucky goal did not change the Thunder's situation. The Lakers continued to choose the horn tactic, but it was Ji Feng who dribbled the ball. Two insiders were on both sides of the free throw line, and two pitchers opened the space in the bottom corner.
The essence of this tactic is that the ball holder can choose one of the screens to form a pick-and-roll, and the ball holder will not be interfered by the defender. Then, the two insides will go down one by one and the other will be shot outside.
Ji Feng chose Gasol's pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Gasol pulled away. Ji Feng made a direct breakthrough. Perkins had to make up his defense. Ji Feng's fake action was passed to the bottom corner so that Safrosa did not dare to move. , Then Ji Feng recovered a high throw, and Bynum finished the dunk empty-handed!
Complete 6 consecutive rounds!
This number is still accumulating. In the seventh round, Ji Feng went to the bottom corner, Kobe controlled the ball and was caught in the ball. Ji Feng hit his second three-pointer, and finally scored in double figures.
In the eighth round, Blake assisted Kobe, and Kobe made a fake defensive layup. In the ninth round, Ji Feng came back to assist Blake and scored a three-pointer!
It wasn't until the tenth round that Kobe made a three-pointer and ended the Lakers' horrible offensive!
But at this time, the Lakers made 5 three-pointers and 4 two-pointers in 9 rounds. A wave of 23-10 attacks gave the Lakers a 21-point lead.
There was a dead silence on the Thunder scene, and the fans didn't seem to be relieved from this offensive...
"Fake..." The microphones in the hands of the live commentator were all dropped, and this six-minute offensive simply refreshed his worldview.
After the timeout, the Lakers’ offense slowed down. The Thunder took the opportunity to regain some points through Durant’s efforts. However, the Lakers then made two three-pointers and still had a 16-point lead at the end of the half. The biggest half-time difference in four games.
60-44, the Thunder is a bit square.
During the intermission, the Thunder's locker room.
Brooks didn't get angry this time.
Because he couldn't find a reason to get angry.
Who is to blame?
Durant and Westbrook?
Each of them has 16 points, and the other has 11 points and 5 assists. They are basically at their own level. If you want to scold them, you can only scold them for not performing supernormally. But can they be scolded for supernormal performance?
Blame Harden?
Harden came off the bench and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com played well, and the best sixth man is just like this. Although it is not as good as the previous game, everyone understands that it is impossible. Ask Harden to get 30+ in every game.
Blame the role players? Ibaka, Perkins, and Safrosa have all accomplished their tasks brilliantly.
If you want to blame, you can only blame, the Lakers don't play cards according to the routine!
Outside line, why is it so accurate!
In the halftime, the Lakers made 11 three-pointers and only used 16 shots. Needless to say, the shooting rate is terrifying. It can only be said that it has shocked Brooks for a hundred years.
The Lakers made as many as six three-pointers, including Ji Feng, Kobe, Black, Capo Noir, Artest, and Farmar. This directly made the Thunder do not know how to defend.
Under such a hit rate, any tactics and any remarks are superfluous, and they were cast into this by the Lakers.
"The Lakers, it's really unreasonable." Brooks said with emotion for a long time.
