Legendary basketball manager

The game between the Lakers and the Mavericks started late, with just 3 minutes into the second quarter.

At present, the Lakers lead the Mavericks by 35 points at 27:8.

When Shen Fei first saw the score, he was still slightly surprised.

After all, in the original time and space, the Mavericks easily defeated the Lakers 4:1.

In five games, the Lakers only had an advantage in two games, and the other few games were all passive.

[Sure enough, the Lakers were a different team when Kobe was healthy...]

Shen Fei thought so.

Just watching the score was not enough, so he turned on the live video again.

The first picture that caught Shen Fei's eyes was Kobe singles Kidd at the top of the arc

I saw Kobe in a three-threat pose, and after several consecutive tentative steps, he directly made a three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

38: 27.

The Lakers' lead has come to double digits!

At the critical moment, Nowitzki did his part and stepped forward.

He first played Pau Gasol in the low post, turned over and succeeded in a fadeaway jumper.

Later, he took advantage of the opportunity of counterattack and shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line...

Basketball hit the net again!

38:32

After Nuo Tianwang scored 5 points in a row, the Mavericks closed the point difference to 6 points.

In addition to offense, Marion, the team's perimeter gate, also began to show his excellent single-defense ability.

When defending Kobe's post-up singles, he accurately predicted Mamba's next move and took off early to block the shot.

Kobe had no choice but to be forced to increase the shooting arc in the air.

And his difficult shot ended in blacksmithing.

Chandler jumped high, took off the rebound, and immediately handed the ball to Kidd next to him.

Old Kidd didn't stop, and a long pass across the half court found Terry who was about to play.

At this time, only Ci Shiping returned to the defense in place for the Lakers in the halftime.

Terry did not forcefully break through the basket, but chose a mid-range emergency stop jump shot...

bingo!

38: 34.

The difference between the two teams is only 4 points!

After witnessing Maverick's small orgasm, Shen Fei couldn't help shaking his head.

Although the Mavericks are strong, the counterattack this time is a bit too easy...

[It seems that the Lakers were easily eliminated that year, not just because of Kobe's injury. ]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

Some people may think, isn't this just that you relax when you lead a lot?

An aristocratic team like the Lakers is such a piss.

But if you look closely, you will find that although the Lakers are turbulent, they are in the regular season.

In every series since 08, the Zijin Army played very seriously under Kobe's "supervision".

His mental outlook is completely different from today!

The reason for this change is nothing more than that the players are no longer so "hungry" after two consecutive championships.

They are no longer so eager to win the championship.

The arrogant mentality also grows more or less in the hearts of players.

Like the ball just now, if the other players of the Lakers can quickly return to defense, Terry will never score so easily.

[It seems...it is not easy to build a dynasty team. ]

Shen Fei sighed in his heart.

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the country, but difficult to defend the country.

If the Lakers players who hold two championship rings cannot adjust their mentality in time, it will be difficult for them to beat the Mavericks in the series.

............

When Shen Fei was dreaming, the Mavericks had already overtaken the score!

After the Lakers began to double-team Nowitzki, the German chariot used two consecutive assists to help Kidd and Terry hit three-pointers respectively.

After scoring 6 points in a row, the score came to 38:40.

What's even more amazing is that in just 3 minutes, the Mavericks hit a 13:0 shock wave!

Even a Buddhist coach like Zen master can't sit still at this time.

He stood up from the coach's bench in a flash, and gestured to the technical table to signal a timeout.

This was the first time Shen Fei saw Phil Jackson angry.

However, after the timeout ended, the Lakers will be significantly more active.

First, Gasol made a mid-range shot, and then Shark Bynum successfully blocked Terry's layup on the defensive end.

After successfully defending, the Lakers took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!

During the fast break, Kobe pushed forward with the ball and met Marion's defense again.

This time, the black mamba stopped suddenly during the march and made a fake "bow Buddha".

This shot fake was extremely realistic and successfully swayed Marion.

Then, Kobe drove straight in, took a small step in front of the penalty area, and then took off with both feet facing Chandler, who was helping to defend...

In the air, chatter reproduces the peerless waist!

I saw him gently retracting his abdomen, pulling his right hand to the side, and at the same time flying over Chandler's blockade by staying in the air...

"bang!"

A powerful one-armed slam dunk with the lever made the American Airlines Center instantly silent.

42: 45.

The Lakers overtake the score again!

Facing the Purple and Gold Legion waking up like a dream, the generals of Mavericks responded immediately.

Kidd made a wonderful pass to fly Chandler to help the latter complete an alley-oop dunk.

44: 45!

In the following period of time, the two teams fell into a stalemate.

Strange to say, as long as one side can score, the other side will respond quickly.But if one side's offensive ends in failure, the other's offensive will basically end without a problem...

Therefore, until the end of the second quarter, the scores of the two teams were still tight.

After watching the second quarter of the Lakers and Mavericks, the second half of the Rockets and Thunder just started.

Shen Fei tidied up his mood and returned his attention to the scene.

............

Back in the second half, the Thunder made a change.

Head coach Brooks replaced center Perkins with Harden and let Ibaka go to the 5th position.

Five small lineups!

Obviously, Thunder is going to fight hard!

The game restarts.

Thunder attack.

In the first round, Westbrook used the cover to break through Curry's defense.

Griffin quickly recovered the inside line to protect the basket.

Westbrook didn't force it, but with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Harden on the outside.

After receiving the ball, Deng Ge made a fake shot and successfully shot McGrady.

Then he dribbled two more steps forward, collecting the ball again and preparing to shoot.

Harden's shooting percentage was extremely high in the first half, scoring a lot of points for the Thunder.

For this reason, Mark Jackson specifically asked the players to pay attention to this during the halftime break.

Because of this, Yao Ming decisively blocked out.

Who knows, this is Harden's fake move again!

After flying Yao Ming, Deng Ge noticed Durant who was cutting inside, so he passed the ball with a single hit.

The next moment, Durant soared into the sky, swinging his Thunder Hammer like a god of thunder descending into the world!

"bang!"

This shocking one-handed dunk can be regarded as a good start for Thunder's second half of the game!

And from this goal, it can be seen that after the intermission, San Shao's physical strength has basically recovered.

However, before the Thunder generals had time to celebrate, the Rockets were about to serve the bottom line and launched a counterattack.

During the fast break, George received a pass from his teammate and went straight to the Thunder's hinterland.

The Thunder's last line of defense is point guard Westbrook!

At the same time, Ibaka is also returning to defense at full speed.

The two moved one after the other, sandwiching George in the middle.

In the blink of an eye, Paojiao noticed Curry following up from the corner of his eye.

He made up his mind, kicked his right foot hard on the ground, and jumped high.

Westbrook and Ibaka also took off at the same time.

But at the next moment, George passed the ball behind his back and passed the ball to Curry who followed up in the middle.

[Oh, it's over...]

Westbrook knew something was wrong in the air, so he wanted to turn around and defend immediately after landing.

But before he could return to his position, he was staggered by Ibaka who landed one step later.

"Boom..."

After a muffled sound, both of them fell to the ground...

Curry saw this scene while catching the ball, ecstatic in his heart.

[Can it be deducted again? ]

So he took three steps and made two steps, struggling to take off...

"bang!"

On the 30th, the Rockets once again presented a magnificent... Mianduan to the fans!

74:52, the Rockets continue to lead.

Curry's buckle is not exciting, but it caused a lot of mental blow to the Thunder generals.

A thin guard who is good at shooting, unexpectedly dunked easily in their restricted area again!

This is simply an "insult" to the Thunder's defense!

After Westbrook got up from the ground, he grabbed the basketball and slammed it on the ground, venting his unhappiness.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Westbrook used his speed to suddenly surprise Curry.

This trick was tried and tested in the first half, but this time, Curry made a lateral move that was predicted in advance, firmly blocking Westbrook's path.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the Thunder made an offensive foul!

"Yes!"

Curry, who fell to the ground, raised his arms and shouted excitedly after hearing the referee's penalty.

Westbrook looked helpless.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming wanted the ball in the low post, and Ibaka, who was defending against him, decisively took the defensive approach.

This is one of the most effective ways for other teams to defend Dayao in the past.

But today is different from the past. The technical and tactical level of the current Rockets is not comparable to that of the past!

In response to the defense against Yao Ming, Mark Jackson designed a variety of tactics to deal with it as early as the second half of the season.

And now, Griffin mentioned free throw line support, which is one of the tactics.

Curry handed the ball to Griffin first, and then the latter lobbed the ball to Yao Ming from the middle.

After such a "middleman" changed hands, the angle of passing the ball instantly widened a lot.

After Yao Ming received the ball, he put his toes lightly and easily dunked successfully!

76: 52.

The game is already showing signs of spending.

In a critical moment, the Thunder can only pin their hopes on Durant.

KD didn't refuse either, he signaled his teammates to pull away at a 45-degree angle, and singled out Paul George again!

This time, Pickle's defensive aggressiveness has improved a lot compared to the first half.

When Durant wanted to dribble the ball under his crotch and change the ball to his left hand, George made a grab and reached out to take the ball away.

But basketball is still not out of Durant's control.

KD adjusted his pace and resumed his attack.

I saw him make a huge crossover, shaking George's center of gravity slightly.

But when Durant was about to speed up the breakthrough, Pickle had already returned to the defensive position, and firmly stuck the former's shoulder with his chest.

Durant didn't back down, and pushed his right foot to the ground, trying to force George.

But during the march, kd was gradually pushed away from the layup route, and was finally forced to use a difficult "horseback archery" to complete the shot...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Griffin jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

Seeing that there was no suitable passer beside him, he immediately decided to dribble across the half court by himself.

After sprinting all the way to the three-point line in the enemy's half, Griffin distributed the ball to Tracy McGrady on the right, then pointed to the sky with his right hand.

t-mac understands and throws the ball high...

The next moment, the white monster came out of the cage!

He fully opened his body in the air, like a fully drawn bow, then caught the basketball with his right hand, and smashed the ball hard towards the basket...

"bang!"

After a very visually impactful dunk, the Toyota Center once again entered a boiling state!

The fans spontaneously organized a "human wave", and soon, uniform slogans sounded from all corners of the stands:

"let's. go. rocktes!!!"

"let's. go. rocktes!!!"

"let's. go. rocktes!!!"

......

In such an atmosphere, the morale of the rocket generals skyrocketed.

In the next few minutes, they fought more and more courageously, and quickly widened the point difference to as much as 30 points!

The game lost its suspense.

After the third quarter, the Thunder coach saw that he was powerless, so he simply raised the white flag and surrendered.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the three young masters sat on the bench together, with sorrowful expressions on their faces.

"They're so much better than the Spurs...!"

"Yao Ming's offensive ability in the low post is better than Tim (Duncan)?"

Ibaka was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that Yao Ming is an existence between a star and a super giant, but Duncan is a real super giant.

But when Ibaka defended Dayao, he felt much more pressure than when he defended Duncan!

"One is because of your size. Yao's height and wingspan are too much stronger than yours. You and Tim will be similar in size."

"Another... I think Duncan was not in a good state in the series against us. I guess he may have played with an injury, but we didn't realize it at the time."

Durant spoke.

After hearing this, Ibaka suddenly felt that it made sense, and nodded repeatedly.

"The question now is, what about the next game?"

"Their firepower is too fierce, and they are a bit overwhelmed!"

Westbrook asked helplessly.

"With our current defensive configuration, it is difficult to limit the Rockets."

"So, to beat the Rockets, we need to... attack against attack!"

"If we can get more points, the victory will naturally belong to us."

Harden gave his thoughts.

Although his last sentence sounds like nonsense, it still makes sense when you think about it carefully.

After Harden finished speaking, Durant and Westbrook quickly exchanged glances, and then nodded at the same time.

So far, the three young masters have reached a consensus - even if one person swings one in the next game, they must use firepower to destroy the rockets!

............

The fourth quarter was uneventful.

The Rockets' third team is strong, steadily expanding their lead.

When the red light on the timer came on and the game came to an end, the score was fixed at 132:98.

The Rockets sit at home and beat the Thunder with a huge advantage of 34 points, winning the first victory in the series!

After the game, Shen Fei did not leave the field immediately, but continued to watch the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks in the box.

In the first three quarters, the two sides drew 80 and returned to the same starting line.

And now, the fourth quarter has just begun!
