Chapter 165: People who can guard Durant

At halftime, in the locker room, Mike Brown encouraged the players.
They played well in the first half, and it was not easy to maintain a 10-point lead at the Thunder's home court.
Brown still remembers playing the Thunder in the playoffs last season, once in the first half? Once behind, in the second half, that is, Wang Ba turned over and could only flutter blindly.
There were two first-half lead games and one win, relying on defense.
Lost in one game, it was the defense in the fourth quarter that didn't survive and was beaten to death by the Thunder.
This game is different. Although it is the regular season, the Lakers rely on the offensive.
Good offensive rhythm and coordination, and several outside guns are in good condition.
This is the feeling of the Lakers. Depends on defense, is it still the Lakers?
Li Liang, Kobe and Nash were sitting together and whispering again.
This made Howard somewhat unhappy, and Howard had limited opportunities to play in the first half.
Perkins, the face of poker, is terrible, and there is an Ibaka behind it, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Howard watched what Na San had been talking about, and the three of them played well in the first half.
Before the game started, they seemed to be discussing at the door, what does that mean?
Collusion tactics?
Mike Brown's inside tactics were clearly arranged in the first half, and as a result, the three of them turned into three-point tactics.
Anyway, the ball is not in his hand, how to play outside how to play chant.
As for Mike Brown... forget it, he forgot himself.
No matter how happy it is, howard can't say anything.
He had to face a reality: when he made him the lead, the team did not dominate the scene.
Conversely, when the outside line is open, the Lakers tend to play better.
Including Howard himself is also a beneficiary.
Unhappy, unhappy.
Howard's mentality could not be turned for a while.
After all, there was such a great glory, and came to Los Angeles with such strong expectations and confidence.
How can I be willing to just make a rebound and grab a blue-collar insider?
Regardless of his heart, he considers his economic interests. This is his contract year, but he has to get a top salary.
How can a defensive center without offense get the top salary?
The 20-minute break passed quickly and the two sides re-entered the stage.
With the 10-point advantage of the Lakers, the Thunder will definitely set off a counterattack in the second half.
Immediately, Li Liang walked to Howard and said: "Hey Superman, the second half is your performance time, come on."
Howard glanced at Li Liang and asked what it meant.
Li Liangdao: "We opened the three-pointer in the first half and it will depend on you in the second half."
Howard had some comprehension, and asked Kobe what he asked him to say?
Li Liang smiled and did not answer.
Because the personality is not very appetizing, Howard and Kobe are like ordinary colleagues on weekdays. Except for communication on the field, they rarely talk on the field.
Sitting on the bench, the camera gave two people, often silent.
Kobe had Li Liang as a microphone, but it was possible.
The relationship between the Celtics Bird and McHale was very general.
There is no room for cooperation on the court, and the next sentence will not be said.
If the two want to communicate, they both rely on Danny Angie as a messenger.
In the Lakers, the relationship with Kobe and Howard is good, that is, Li Liang.
And he is young, he is not shameful to be a small microphone.
World of Warcraft thinks that if Kobe does this, it's not bad, and he should play well in the second half.
But may Kobe say so? Dream about it.
He played so well in the first half, of course he would continue to play like this.
I always go in front, then I must always vote, I feel good; I haven't entered in the front, I still have to vote, otherwise how can I get the feel?
But Li Liang did not say anything, and it was good to allow the two to leave room for each other.
As for what the three had just said during the intermission, they actually said nothing.
It's just getting together and bragging.
...
At the beginning of the second half, the Thunder players all looked serious.
In the first half, they played very well, a series of three-pointers, and Durant's efficient play.
As a result, the score is still behind.
Last season they played the Lakers or they were within reach.
Like the fourth game of the playoffs, the Thunder have been behind by about 10 points.
In the fourth quarter, the waves were easily taken away by the Lakers.
After the lack of Harden this season, Durant and Westbrook have a heavier burden on their shoulders, and they have more room to play.
Last season, the two had a 40-point performance in the same game.
A game of Durant 51 points, Westbrook 40 points, the two scored 91 points together.
A game of Durant 40 points, Westbrook 45 points, the two scored 85 points.
This may also be the reason why the Thunder have the confidence to let Harden away. The two explosive forces are already strong enough.
In front of this kind of chopping, the other scoring of 40 or 50 points is simply not enough.
Of course, there is a Kobe Bryant tonight, one person and any player combination can all share the existence of 80+.
Really bother, bother.
The two played well in the first half, but the result was still behind, I didn't expect it.
At the start of the second half, the Lakers had the ball and the Thunder players all played a twelve-point spirit, focusing on defense.
Westbrook dare not take Nash lightly anymore. This seemingly thin old point guard still has oil in the tank.
After Nash dribble the ball, Li Liang came out and gave Nash a cover.
At halftime, Brooks particularly emphasized the need to strengthen the defense against Li Liang.
My Brooks coach, your response is too slow.
Other teams have long known that they want to target this kid. Did you react after halftime?
It's really a half-slow, and it's a match with Mike Brown.
After the pick-and-roll, Nash delivered the ball to Li Liang, and Ibaka immediately expanded and posted very close.
Li Liang will not hold the ball, so there is no need to take him one step to prevent him from shooting.
Li Liang didn't want to break through either. He didn't stagnate the ball and passed it to Howard with a good post.
Howard suffocated in the first half, so he didn't seriously single.
At the beginning of the second half, one came first. After full of energy, he caught the ball and turned to cut the layup.
Perkins reacted a bit slowly and reached for a foul.
The audience made a boo, and even ordinary fans knew what this foul meant.
Perkins had already fouled twice in the first half and three fouls at the beginning of the second half, which was very dangerous.
Perkins himself was very angry, Howard made two free throws.
Not bad, anyway, it was a goal.
In the Thunder bout, Durant received a pass from Westbrook. After a sudden step in the middle, he stopped the jumper and hit.
Durant made 6 of 7 shots, and Li Liang's task was to limit him to 50% shooting.
It's really hard enough, Durant's height and speed are too BUG.
He is taller than Li Liang, has longer arms than Li Liang, and has better speed and flexibility than Li.
Not to mention bouncing and explosive power, who can you defend against Durant?
Li Liang rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered a person who might guard Durant! Ask him for help.
Turning back, Kobe missed a jumper and Westbrook got a rebound and launched a counterattack.
As the only counterattack decelerator for the Lakers, Li Liang naturally followed Westbrook closely.
Westbrook is advancing very fast, and his body is strong, Li Liang really can't stop him for a while.
However, good follow-up skills delayed Westbrook's advancement and gave his teammates time to return to defense.
Westbrook drove Li Liang to the basket, and Howard's supplementary defense has come up.
Westbrook chose a close-up jumper!
Li Liang sealed it up, the two had physical contact, and Westbrook fell to the ground.
The ball didn't touch the basket, the referee didn't blow the whistle, Westbrook got up and looked very dissatisfied, and complained to the referee.
But the Lakers' counterattack has come over. Kobe has a strong ball and scored a corner to Nash.
Nash made a fake move, shook off the defender, took the ball to the bottom line, and then rode an archery and hit two points.
Nash is in a great state tonight, shooting feeling, the game rhythm has a peak level.
Westbrook did not have time to return to the defense because he complained to the referee.
Westbrook was angry with reorganizing the attack.
Durant came out to pick and roll for Westbrook.
Li Liang stared at Westbrook, Westbrook did not pass to Durant, although Durant has been misplaced.
Westbrook chose to hold the ball to force Li Liang!
The speed was really fast, and Li Liang passed by one arrow.
But Li Liang was not prepared for him to easily make a layup and directly fouled down Westbrook Clara.
Li Liang's second foul in the field.
Westbrook made the free throw line.
The two had a little conflict in language. Westbrook was the kind of person with a straight temper.
When he had something to say, he would sprinkle if he had a temper, and he was defended with two balls. He was obviously very upset.
As it happens, Li Liang is also a straight-hearted person.
The difference is that Li Liang has a hair dryer.
"Look at you, what more than dry pull jumpers and strong shots? I think you are suitable for rugby, run with the ball, and don't have to pass."
Li Liang was nagging, and Westbrook made two free throws, one level with Howard.
"You don't need to teach me how to play!" Westbrook responded loudly.
This child is actually very straightforward, and he is very straightforward in talking nonsense.
What "I can beat you", "I don't know you, get away" and so on.
A method like Li Liang, who likes to curse and curse people, cannot form in his mind.
If he really annoys him, he will directly push and push, or use slam dunks, breakthroughs, blocks, and roars to deal with you.
Sure enough, Li Liang was stared at Westbrook when he turned around, and he felt it as soon as he took the ball. Westbrook's gaze aimed at him.
If he chooses to attack himself, Westbrook will definitely rush up to give him a big cap.
Li Liang is not that silly~EbookFREE.me~ Said to pass the ball to Howard.
[A shot into the soul]!
Li Liang spotted an opportunity inside and used a one-in-one hit to pass the ball straight into the inside!
With a strong spin, the ball passed between the three Thunder players.
Howard ran back and got the ball as soon as he turned around.
Dunk vigorously under the basket!
After the goal, Howard pointed to Li Liang, which means that the boy is good.
Li Liangchao spread his hand towards Westbrook and said, "How is it going to happen?"
Westbrook pursed his lips without a word, took the ball, and glared across the half.
can you? I will give you a ball! You must buckle one on your head!
