: Two hundred and thirty-three. First battle

Westbrook advanced to the frontcourt. Just outside the three-point line, he received strong physical contact from Liu Ren, and his knee was also not fully healed. Liu Ren made it difficult to dribble. ＊
This level of physical confrontation has long been blown in the regular season, but this is the playoffs! The Lakers are still at home! Liu Ren had no obvious foul action, and the referee's angry eyes at Westbrook were unreasonable.
Westbrook had no choice but to pass the ball to Durant.
As soon as Durant got the ball, Nash and Kobe immediately doubled up.
Kobe's defensive skills are really good! He can no longer defend against powerful players like Westbrook and Wall, but he is still that strong against most players in the league.
This year, his opponents' average data per game is horrible, and his opponents have an average shooting rate of less than 35%. Although it is not as scary as his opponent's shooting rate of only 30% in his peak period, it is still horrible. He is a good defensive player, but he can't prevent top breakers, which makes his defense look poor.
But for opponents whose impact is not top-notch, Kobe can actually show the defensive strength of one defense several times in a row.
Nash's defense is very poor, so bad that it has no sides, but now it is not his defensive skills, he only needs big moves to defend, this is the playoffs! All he has to do is give Durant physical contact!
Just like what Kobe said yesterday when he sprayed Liu Ren, if Kobe and Nash defended James with such unscrupulous defense, basically after the game, James can pass the Lakers to death, but now Durant is being doubled, so no It's the same!
Durant’s biggest weakness is that he is afraid of physical contact and weak double-teaming with the ball. Once he is too tall, the dribble will be deformed. Once double-teamed near the three-point line, he cannot pass the ball. He averaged up to 5 assists per game this year, but they are basically passed from the inside. When he gets inside, it basically means that the opponent's defense is torn. The gap on the outside is seen all at once, but he is still in the running stage. He has always been an end point rather than an organization point, he can't see when his teammates can go to where!
For Durant’s lack of organizing skills in the high post, Thunder coach Brooks has a solution. Just as Durant passes the ball back to Westbrook. This is also when Durant is absent from Westbrook. The important reason for missing this second brother very much.
But today Westbrook was bypassed!
The knee injury has not healed, and Westbrook, who has a severely insufficient explosive force, can't get rid of Liu Ren's approach!
Nash kept reaching out for the ball in Durant's hand. Durant was very anxious. He had a bad dribble and was double-teamed. He felt that he couldn't hesitate anymore, so he withdrew directly from the three-point line and pulled up. Just vote!
Durant made a hasty shot! Gasol bullied Ibaka and couldn't jump to grab a defensive rebound.
The Thunder players quickly returned to defense and did not give the Lakers a chance to counterattack.
It’s true that D'Antoni’s running and bombing is not suitable for the playoffs. His running and bombing is basically the same as the original small ball tactics. Once running, the defense is completely gone. Wharton is not willing to be in his hands because of this. Study underneath, but go to Vitch.
Just like now, if the Lakers immediately rushed, it would be difficult for the Thunder to return to defense so quickly, and the Thunder will definitely counterattack next.
This year D'Antoni also began to change slowly, suppressing the rhythm and playing steadily.
Nash pushed forward, the Thunder fell into a defensive formation, and Ibaka was also ready for this ball. If the Lakers hit him again, he must be guarded, and he can't lose his momentum at the beginning!
But when the Lakers' offensive formation fell well, the Thunder was trapped over there!
Liu Ren fell to the position where Gasol singled Ibaka just now and asked for the ball on the left side of the three-second zone!
Ibaka looked at Gasol at the left bottom corner, then at Liu Ren who was in the low position, gritted his teeth and ran beyond the three-point line.
Safeguarding Liu Ren is Safe Rosa!
Durant is supposed to be against Liu Ren, but he is better at defending against the shooting type Kobe at this stage, so the defending Liu Ren has become Saferosa.
Liu Ren received the ball and said to Saifrosa with a curious expression behind him: "Hey, do you know what fear is?"
Saifrosa was originally curious because Liu Ren, a small forward, had fallen into the center position. He couldn't understand what Liu Ren said. What does this mean?
Soon Sefrosa knew what it meant, and the cheers of the fans on the spot had already sounded...
"by……"
"Asshole..."
"Damn..."
Sefrosa was not ready at all, Liu Ren continued to hit him, and the first time he hit him into the sky! When he hit him for the second time, he flew up as soon as he landed~EbookFREE.me~ When hit him for the third time, he flew up as soon as he landed again!
After the third impact, Liu Ren turned and burst into flames before Sefrosa landed, and pressed the ball into the basket with two-handed gorilla dunk!
Liu Ren's first two impacts directly knocked Saferosa from the edge of the three-second zone to the basket!
Saifrosa, who was hit again in the air, flew out and fell to the other side of the three-second zone!
The screams and cheers at the scene were about to overturn the ceiling of the Staples Center! Sefrosa fell on the floor with a look of horror. He immediately understood what Liu Ren said just now, and understood why the four Lakers pulled the small forward in the center position.
"This guy is a monster! Definitely a monster" Saifrosa was covered with fear!
"I'm ready to hit that big man, you are really unlucky..." He didn't mind the others hearing it, or let others hear it on purpose, Liu Ren finished saying this to Saifrosa. After speaking, he turned back to defense.
Sefrosa immediately felt very dissatisfied with Ibaka, who just ran out to defend Gasol. In his opinion, does Gasol, a traditional center, need to be guarded outside the three-point line? He thought that Ibaka wouldn't be so humiliated unless he went out.
Ibaka sees the complaining eyes of Sefrosa and can’t tell. He and Gasol are both Spanish national team players and have been partners several times. Gasol has already played in the European Championships last summer. Demonstrating good three-point ability, as a national teammate, he knows that Gasol must not be let go at critical moments, otherwise this guy has the ability to shoot the ball anywhere!
Ibaka is ruthless, looking for face!
The Thunder attacked and the Lakers' defense remained the same, forcing Durant to miss the defense against the three-point line, but! Ibaka, with a knee injury, violently lifted his back against Gasol to get the ball in the air and press it into the basket!
