Chapter 889

Throughout the first half, the Lakers were in the lead.

From the process of the game, on the defensive side, neither the Lakers nor the thunder played very well. Although both sides will spend a lot of effort in each attack round, they can still score. However, in terms of efficiency, the Lakers are more efficient. After all, most of their scores are from the inside line, even the forbidden area, which is much more stable than the thunder's bowing and archery outside the three-point line.

Enrol is still the mainstay of thunder's ability to stabilize its position. With his continuous output in the offensive end, thunder can at least ensure that the other side will not open the difference when it is unable to limit the other side's score.

At the end of the first half, the score was set at 72-65. The away game is in the front and the home game is in the back.

From the score point of view, the two sides are more like a half court attack. But the reality is different. Whether it's the Lakers or the thunder, the players pay no less energy on the defensive end than they do on the offensive end. The players on both sides are too strong! No matter how to deal with the ball or how the players cooperate with each other, they can overcome the tight defense of the other side. After the combination of personal ability and tactical system is perfect, it is difficult to limit the score through defense.

Thunder in the first two quarters were able to cut 30 + points, in the game has been playing very well. You know, although the offensive round of each game has increased a lot, the chances for players to score have also increased a lot, and the scores of the team and players have also increased, the thunder's average score this season is less than 120. In this case, the half-time cut 65 points, when other teams play, it is basically out of great advantage. But they are still seven points behind! From this we can see how terrible such a Laker is.

Of course, there are some problems with the Lakers. Their starting line-up played a little too long in the first two quarters. Although there are Rondo, Howard and Kuzma on the bench, their performance is not good or even poor in this game tonight.

Kuzma didn't seem to be ready to win. During the 12 minutes in the first half, it was like sleepwalking. It was a nightmare for the Lakers. In fact, this season, when Davis joined the Lakers, Kuzma had to go back to the bench and wait for his chance. Such a change really makes the young man who is playing well appear great discomfort. Therefore, in this season, Kuzma's performance has not been very stable. Sometimes super God, sometimes super ghost.

In the NBA, every player is special, and Kuzma is no exception. In the first two seasons of his career, Kuzma's performance and personal ability surprised the Lakers. After all, as an old rookie in the back of the first round, it really has no great training value. But this guy just relied on his own ability to seize the opportunity which was not good, and made a far better performance than his draft ranking.

As a rookie at the end of the first round, he did well in the first year, averaging 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds. It can be said that at that time, the Lakers did not have any stars, so rookies could get more opportunities. The second year of his career, LeBron came to the Lakers. This season, Kuzma's data rose to 18.7 points and 5.5 rebounds.

You know, not all strikers can integrate well with LeBron. This point, no matter bosh or Lefu, has not been done well. After all, these two guys were the leading stars of the team before. They suddenly became the second choice or even the third choice of a team. After losing a lot of ball rights, their performance was not very good. But at this point, Kuzma did a good job.

With the growth of age, James in the offensive threat does also appear to a certain extent of decline. This point, even if this guy is often able to score 30 + in the game, it still can't be covered up. What's more, James has never been a cognitive scoring expert. Therefore, there must be someone who is good at scoring beside James. Just as it happens, Kuzma's performance in other aspects is not outstanding except scoring. In the game, he can score in various ways. The outside projection has a good hit rate, also has a good small hook and small throw under the basket, quite good at air cutting

In fact, the Lakers still have high expectations for Kuzma. In the pelican's big deal, although the Lakers seem to have left Kuzma the most worthless, few people know that Kuzma, like Ingram and Bauer, is a young man coveted by the other side in the pelican's asking price. In the end, the Lakers sent Ingram, Bauer and Hart away, leaving Kuzma instead. But this is definitely not because Kuzma took off the fourth lot at the draw ceremony and "saved himself". For this reason, only the fans who watch the crowd will think that way.

In this season's competition, Kuzma is not always low performance. In fact, whenever Davis rest, Kuzma as the fourth position, can always play amazing performance.

A few days ago, the Lakers played against Pacers, and Davis was out of the game due to injury. But the Lakers didn't lose because Kuzma came out. In this battle, he made 16 of 24 shots and scored 42 points. What's more, because of the huge lead, he didn't play the last quarter at all and scored 42 points in 29 minutes. In that game, although James also contributed 22 points and 12 assists, Kuzma was more like the one who led the team to win.But Kuzma didn't do well tonight. The shooting is not accurate, the defense is not in the condition. Such a situation, accompanied by the vast majority of his substitute night. Perhaps Kuzma was not born to be a substitute.

Of course, Howard has many problems, but we don't blame him. After all, now Howard is not the omnipotent Warcraft of that year! It's good that he can help the team at both ends.

The problem with the Lakers is not just on the bench. In fact, besides Kuzma's poor performance, Denny green is the most disappointing player. He made a poor three-point shot and made little contribution to the offensive end. However, the performance of Denny green is not surprising.

In this case, Vogel can only grit his teeth and let the main players play a lot more time in the game. Although he is not willing to do that, in the long regular season, there are always a few games that need to be treated with caution. Maybe it has nothing to do with ranking, but it is also worth it to expose more things to those imaginary opponents in the playoffs.

At half-time, Chesapeake energy arena staged a unique performance - face changing.

In fact, since Yao Ming's success in the NBA, many performances with Chinese characteristics have been active in this league. Of course, it was more in the Toyota Center in Houston. Later, Yao Ming retired, and the Chinese players disappeared from the league, so there were fewer performances. Until the birth of Angelo, everything began to recover. The difference is that the location of the show moved from Houston to Oklahoma.

The troupe in charge of the performance is a local well-known troupe from Shu capital of China. As a skill that has been handed down for a long time, face changing is not only popular in Shudu, but also famous in the whole dynasty.

A vivid face, a trace of hot tremor, as fast as the wind, as fast as electricity, a brick head, eyes blink, exquisite.

Although we are used to such performances in Shudu, in Oklahoma, this kind of art only exists in the mysterious East, which makes the audience suspicious and infatuated.

However, for the warring parties, whether it is Vogel or Donovan, whether it is James, Davis or Westbrook, Anluo, now do not have any mind to pay attention to the bustle in the stadium. Has played two quarters of the game, both sides of their opponents have been very clear. No one thought it was an easy game, but now the players are more and more bottomless.

Donovan took his tactical board and carefully analyzed some problems of the players in the first half of the game. The players all gathered around him and listened quietly, including Westbrook and enrol. In fact, most of the time, it's not that players don't know how to play, but that they don't feel their problems in the game, and even make all kinds of judgments and choices instinctively. This is the reason why the onlookers see clearly. But when these questions are raised, the players will have a sense of enlightenment.

But that's not the point. Donovan's point is how to make these players avoid the same problems, and how to play an advantage through the other side's flaws. It's not a simple thing, Donovan is just able to share what he found with the players.

The same thing is happening in another dressing room. Although the Lakers are leading the game, Vogel doesn't have much confidence in winning the game. He can't let James and Davis play all the time. Thunder is a very important opponent, but after all, it's just a regular season. The success or failure of a regular season is far less important than the health of the core players.

The half-time passed quickly and the players from both sides returned to the field. Chesapeake energy arena immediately rang out a burst of extremely warm cheers. Although the mysterious face changing performance made the audience feel a little reluctant, they are still looking forward to the next competition.

After a period of rest, both the players of the Lakers and the thunder, both mentally and physically, have been greatly relieved. Therefore, the players on both sides are the same as at the beginning of the first quarter.

The difference is that James didn't go to position one. Denny Green's malaise makes the attack of the flank of the Lakers extremely weak, and the Lakers can only hope for James. However, it is worth mentioning that in the first half, the Lakers put James back to number three and began to firmly occupy the initiative of the game.

However, in the second half, everything changed.

Donovan decisively changed his defensive formation into a 3-2 joint defense, and reduced the defense line to within the three-point line. This is obviously a change to the frequent attacks on the penalty area in the first half. Of course, there is also a very important reason. The outside attack of the Lakers is not very reliable tonight. Not to mention that there is no "3" 3D player Denny green, but Bradley and James have poor long-range shots. On the contrary, Davis, as an inside player, also throws a three-point ball from time to time.Donovan's change made the thunder's defense greatly changed.

As the inside line became quite crowded, the Lakers began to try to score in the middle and long distance. But their outside shooters and the firepower of their role players really can't take on such a heavy task. In fact, the tactics of the Lakers are not bad, basically able to pull out the vacancy. But if you can't put it in, it won't work if you have space. Hand feeling is really a fuckin 'thing. When it's good, you can throw it casually; when it's bad, you can't throw it even if the basket is as wide as the sea.

In fact, it's not a particularly serious problem whether you can score or not. After all, for these professional players, especially those who are good at shooting, as long as they dare to shoot, they can always score. But there is a very important problem, rebounds must be guaranteed. In the first half, the Lakers kept down the thunder in this aspect. But in the second half, the Lakers had a big problem protecting the rebounds.

Westbrook switched directly to the "center" state and grabbed several rebounds from McKee's head. Admittedly, there is a perfect "cover" relationship between Adams, but the most important thing is Westbrook's toughness and the laxity of the Lakers themselves. Due to Howard's passivity at the offensive end, Vogel did not let him appear too much in the game. Without such a rebounding master, thunder really has a better chance to live.

When Westbrook rebounded, the thunder's attack became simple. They are very good at playing this kind of defense, counterattack and fast break. With Westbrook's push points and Anluo's three-point chasing, and Gallinari, who has a three-point shooting rate of 40%, playing on one side, the thunder basically won't give the Lakers a complete defense time.
