Chapter 39

Thunder starters: Baron Davis, Mason, Mbah a Moute, Wilkins, Nick Collison
Lakers starters: Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Trevor Ariza, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum
Players from both sides walked to the middle of the court, and as the ball was thrown high by the referee,

The game officially begins!
Bynum jumped high and allocated the ball to Fisher. The Lakers attacked first. Fisher advanced to the top of the arc with the ball and handed it to Kobe who came out of the pocket.

Kobe took the ball to face Mason and forced a breakthrough!
Mason follows!

Kobe made an emergency stop jumper!

Go in! 0:2
Baron Davis catches the ball from the back court and quickly dribbles the ball to the front court. Facing Lao Yu, he overtakes easily!However, the Lakers rapidly contracted under the basket, too many people can't get in, so give the ball to Wilkinson!
Before the ball arrived, it was easily intercepted by Gasol. Gasol who got the ball threw Kobe in the frontcourt. After Kobe received the ball, he took a big step and dunked easily 0:4
At this time, the Thunder fans on the scene were still standing, waiting for the team to score a goal. This is the tradition of Thunder fans to sit down after scoring a goal.

Baron Davis dribbled the ball to the front court, pressed the time to 18 seconds, and passed it to Raheem, who was in charge. Raheem caught the ball and hit Gasol with his back.

Raheem hit Gasol sitting down, pushed Gasol directly behind the penalty area, turned around and threw with one hand!Goal scored 2:4
Immediately there was warm applause at the scene. Thunder fans were celebrating the first home goal in the history of the Thunder team, but Presti thought in his heart, "Well, I can finally sit down, I'm exhausted."

The Lakers continued to hand the ball to Kobe, and Kobe faced Mason basically as a misplacement. After taking the ball, Kobe took a dribble, pulled up and shot!
The ball hits the net with a beautiful arc! 2:6
On the Thunder's side, Baron Davis continued to press the rhythm to about 10 seconds, and then handed the ball to Raheem.

Raheem is very talented on offense. Gasol is really unable to defend, or is it an old trick, after pushing to the paint area, turn around and throw with one hand!

Go in! 4:6
The Lakers continue Kobe's singles, and they are still making steady progress!
The Thunder also used Raheem to single Gasol, and they also made steady progress!

Finally, when the game lasted to 9 minutes, the Lakers were the first to lose their composure.
Beep!The Lakers pause!

Presti can roughly guess that the Zen master called the timeout to adjust, so when the players came down, Presti said to Dragic: "You go and replace Mason. I don't ask you to defend Kobe, but when you are attacking, Rahim is double-teamed. You have to grasp the open shot."

Dragic nodded heavily. With the referee's whistle, the timeout ended and the game began.
After Fisher advanced to the top of the arc, he continued to pass the ball to Kobe, but after taking the ball, Kobe still chose to take a dribble and pull up to shoot against Dragic!Of course it's still a steady hit!
15:20
Baron Davis dribbled the ball to the front court, and after handing the ball to Raheem, Raheem still chose to sit and play Gasol. When he pushed to the paint area, Ariza immediately double-teamed the penalty area!At the same time, the Lakers' perimeter defense began to shrink.

"The head coach is really right." Raheem's words flashed in his mind, and he immediately played the ball after seeing the double-team!
The ball was quickly passed to Dragic!Dragic caught the ball and faced Kobe who was still half a meter away, took a look at the basket, and shot a jumper!
Go in! 18:20
Kobe is a very strong person, and he is also a very face-saving person, so in the next round, Fisher reached out for the ball at a right angle before he dribbled the ball halfway.

Kobe, who got the ball, slowly dribbled it in front of Dragic, dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, and suddenly accelerated. At this moment, Dragic remembered what the coach said just now, "If you are passed, stop chasing and help defend other points."
Dragic immediately went to help defend Ariza, which is also strange. Kobe did not face Jordan and Collison hard, but chose to split the ball, which happened to be given to Ariza in the left corner.

As a result, the ball was intercepted by Dragic before it reached Ariza's hands. At this time, Dragic admired Presti's five-body throwing in his heart. Of course, Dragic did not choose to rush down after getting the ball.

Dragic handed the ball to Davis. After Davis slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, he handed it to Rahim. It should be 10 minutes. This should be the last ball. I thought to myself, and leaned on my shoulder!Turn around and throw!
In the hollow! 20:20
Beep!The Lakers paused.

There was enthusiastic applause at the scene. They didn't expect that they would be evenly matched with the Lakers, because everyone knows that not all the core players are the starters, and now they rely on these players to evenly split?incredible.

Presti clapped hands with Raheem who came down, and expressed encouragement to him. Collison took the position of Raheem first.
The timeout is over, with less than 2 minutes left in the game, the Lakers have the ball.

The Lakers traded Kobe for Sasha Vujacic, replaced Trevor Ariza with Odom, and Gasol with Powell.

The Thunder replaced Raheem with Collison, and replaced Collison with Jordan Jr.

After Fisher dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, he called Bynum to cover, and Fisher used the screen to brush away Davis and make a jumper!
Bang!

The twin towers of Jordan and Collison against the twin towers of Powell and Bynum
Jordan stuck Powell and Bynum, Collison jumped up and grabbed the rebound, and passed it to Davis quickly!

Davis quickly advanced with the ball, and Odom was chasing after him. There was no way to continue to press the time on the right side of the top of the arc.

Bang!

Of course, Presti knows the offensive ability of this lineup is extremely weak. Although Wilkins and Dragic can open up space, the shooting rate is impressive, so the opponent can shrink the basket wantonly, so that Davis and Dragic, who have the ability to hold the ball, cannot break through at all.

But this lineup has an advantage, that is, its defensive ability is good. Presti's requirement for this lineup is to defend!
Sure enough, when Fisher struggled to pass Davis with the help of a screen, he found that Jordan could not get up to the basket. He wanted to make a breakthrough, and there were people in every position for fear of stealing!
Therefore, it can only be handed over to Odom. Odom took the ball to hit Mbah a Moute. It was quite easy at first, but his footsteps swayed away from Mbah a Moute.
Beep!The first quarter is over!
The score is still 20:20
At this time, Zen Master, who was sitting in the Lakers' bench, suddenly felt a little worried when he saw the core rookies that the Thunder replaced. There are still a bunch of rookies with explosive athletic ability.

Forget it, let's hit the Three Towers!The Zen master said to himself silently.

The whistle blows and the second quarter begins.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup was adjusted to Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Lamar Odom, Josh Powell, and Chris Mihm.

The Thunder lineup is: Westbrook, Dragic, Durant, Jeff Green, Jordan Jr.

Presti smiled when he saw this lineup, three towers?Can the three towers surpass my fourth primary school and one large one?
