If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 220

"Lowry rushed in... Unfortunately, his layup was denied by Bynum."

"Bynum played hard at the basket, Lopez fouled, and Bynum played very aggressively in the second half."

"It's a pity that Bynum fouled again. He was going to end again. In front of Yi Jian, he was beaten back to his original shape."

"Kobe shot a three-pointer and missed it. Kobe felt his hand was a little cold after the halftime break, and he needs to adjust as soon as possible."

"Kobe pulls up, difficult back, Kobe's mid-range is still very threatening!"

"Durant looked up to the sky and screamed, he hit a three-pointer!"

"The game was very fierce, but the Thunder had a tendency to take advantage. After Matthews came up, the Thunder's threat on the offensive end became stronger."

"The Thunder's three-pointers are obviously better than the Lakers. The Lakers did have some problems with their shooting in the playoffs."

In the first half, the Thunder and the Lakers were evenly matched.

But after increasing the intensity in the third quarter, the young Thunder became more and more courageous.

The main reason is that Yi Jian is too strong, he doesn't have many chances to attack calmly and still has a great impact on the game.

Kobe also tried to do more things, but his style, as well as his position, really couldn't affect the game like Yi Jian.

In fact, Yi Jian didn't score a lot in this quarter, and his efficiency was not much different from Kobe's. It's just that the other players of the Thunder were really better.

The Lakers can't do it if they want to improve their defense. They spend a lot of effort to limit Yi Jian, and then work hard to limit Durant. As a result, other Thunder players can also play wonderful performances.

In the case of an even match in the first half, the Thunder took the advantage at the beginning of the second half.

Kobe was very unhappy, and the more unhappy he was, the more he would only rely on himself to solve the problem.

The more Kobe plays singles with the ball, the tighter the Thunder will defend him, and then Kobe's efficiency will drop, and he will be more unhappy.

For Kobe, it was a vicious circle.

"You have to hit the basket, it's not difficult." Mayfair Jackson couldn't help but said.

The biggest difference between the role players of the two teams may be the three-point shooting.

Under the defense of the Western Conference Finals, it is difficult for role players to have more opportunities.

Because of the influence of superstars on the defense, the role players of both teams will get some opportunities.

If the Thunder's role players have a better ability to seize opportunities, they will naturally have an advantage.

Helplessly, although the Lakers shot a lot of three-pointers, their shooting percentage was ranked last in the league.

This actually shows that they can create a lot of opportunities. Against ordinary teams, they can kill the opponent by numbers. Unfortunately, the stage of the Western Conference Finals is no longer the same.

The Thunder can still create a lot of chances, the shooting rate is higher, and the result will be obvious.

Yi Jian has been urging everyone to practice shooting, and now he has achieved good efficiency.

The Thunder's coaching staff has also paid great attention to this aspect.

The relationship between the star and the team is mutual promotion. This is the atmosphere that a strong team should have. If the star and the team have conflicts and everyone runs counter to each other, then even a good lineup is useless.

Although the Lakers bit the score and did not allow the Thunder to take advantage of a little advantage, their current situation is indeed a bit bad.

They didn't have much retreat, so Kobe played the whole game again in the second half.

Yi Jian didn't face Kobe directly, and Thunderclap was already relatively proficient in flanking the opponent, so he went down to rest for a while, preparing to continue to output vigorously in the final quarter.

The Lakers got off to a good start in the last quarter, and Kobe also scored a three-pointer.

But then he got into the trouble of blacksmithing.

In order not to fall into the trap of pinching, Kobe made several shots from outside the three-point line, but they missed all of them. Kobe was still a little anxious.

If it weren't for his superstar strength, his style of play would probably be put on the bench by the head coach to calm down.

After Yi Jian came on the court, it was much more difficult for the Lakers to continue looking for opportunities.

With Yi Jian ignoring the double-team and grabbing two offensive rebounds to score, Kobe also sobered up a lot.

The Lakers will lose the game if they continue like this, but what can they do?

They found that they were once again in an embarrassing situation.

If they fall behind, they need three points, but the three points are not allowed. Deliberately three points is a gamble.

The Lakers players also felt a little confused.

During the timeout, Kobe yelled directly: "Why are you downcast, just give me the ball!"

Others did not dare to speak, and the atmosphere on the Lakers' bench suddenly became a little strange.

Soon, Kobe led the other players onto the court with fierce eyes.

Bryant is full of momentum, but under the defense of the Thunder, his shooting percentage is getting lower and lower.

Thunder is not long-winded, it is flanking.

"Kobe is still too independent, he keeps hitting the iron and keeps shooting."

"What should I do if I don't shoot? The Lakers missed three-pointers from outside and open threes!"

"The Lakers actually played well in front, but something went wrong somehow."

"What's the reason? There's no reason, it's just that Thunder is stronger, and the first record in history is not fake."

"A group of young people in the Thunder grow up too fast, but the Lakers are getting older..."

When the time came to the last 5 minutes, Fisher finally hit a three-pointer. With Yi Jian's mid-range shot back, the Thunder led by 4 points.

The Lakers saw hope, and Kobe made a strong hit next.

However, Lowry immediately hit Fisher 2+1.

On the defensive end, Fisher really can't guard young people.

Kobe made a shot again, and when he came back, he was beaten into a fast break by the Thunder. Yi Jian dunked, and the Thunder's lead was restored in an instant.

Yi Jian's dunk also stopped the Lakers.

The Thunder also took the opportunity to arrange a defense against Kobe in the last 3 minutes, that is, regardless of the flanking attack, Kobe would not have any easy shots or even a chance to catch the ball.

After the game restarted, the Lakers, who obviously wanted to rely on Kobe to play the planet, felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, when Kobe attracted the defense, the Lakers still had a chance, but the other players were really weak. Neither Artest nor Gasol could grasp it.

In the end, Kobe also forced a shot from outside the three-point line. Unfortunately, the magical goal cannot be easily appeared. The Thunder took the lead at the last moment.

The game came to an end as Kobe once again forcibly missed the three-point line.

The Thunder scored in double figures with six players and defeated the Lakers by virtue of their numerical advantage.

This is a bit like Game [-], only the roles of the two sides have been reversed.

Kobe tried his best on both offense and defense, but he couldn't save the team.

The next game will return to the Thunder's home court again, and the Lakers are already standing on the edge of a cliff.

The media also believes that the Thunder can beat the Lakers to enter the finals.

The Thunder are no longer rookies this season. They have grown tremendously through the training of last season. They even set two historical records in the regular season, and they are even more powerful in the playoffs.

It was finally time for this alliance to change, but they didn't expect that it would be the rise of the younger generation.
