NBA bench saves national team

The Thunder's outburst in the second game of the Western Conference Finals also made the whole world see the horror of the power of three-pointers.

It was this devastating three-point performance that made many hesitant teams begin to make up their minds to hoard a large number of players with the ability to shoot three-pointers, and will build a new system that will also use three-pointers as a goal. The important weapon of the team.

However, for the four teams that are in the playoffs, there is no possibility of adjustment, so they can only bite the bullet and continue to play.

No matter which team meets the Thunder, they have to be afraid of their three-point ability.

Especially the Lakers are now caught in this kind of distress.

Whether it's the coaching team, the management, or Kobe, they can't think of a way to limit the Thunder's three-pointers.

So the adjustment of the third game in the series will be difficult, but this game is crucial.

If the Lakers can't defend the victory of this game at home, the big score of the series will come to 3:0!

This also means that the Lakers will be eliminated.

After all, in the history of the NBA, no team has ever been able to reverse the series after falling behind 0:3.

There are still two days left before Game [-] of the Lakers vs. Thunder series.

The Heat and the Bulls in the East also completed the second contest.

The Bulls, who continued to sit at home, completely collapsed in the game, and the team was in a downturn.

The Heat, on the other hand, were full of fighting spirit, especially James and Wade, who were out of shape in the last game.

The two giants are all recovering in this game.

James made 21 of 12 shots and scored 29 points with extremely high efficiency.

Wade scored 24 points.

Totally dominated the game.

In the end, the Heat beat the Bulls with a score of 85:75, chasing the series to a 1:1 tie.

The Bulls lost their home court advantage.

Compared with the overwhelming advantage of the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals played back and forth, which was more suspenseful.

Two days passed quickly.

The Thunder and the Lakers face off in Game [-] of the series at Staples Center.

In this game, many stars came to the Staples Center, all of whom came to cheer for the Lakers.

With the addition of home court advantage, the Lakers also played an extremely efficient performance, scoring 35 points in the first quarter.

Because the Thunder team is playing on the road, the players are not in good condition, especially when it comes to shooting three-pointers. Except for Qin Feng who scored three three-pointers in the first quarter, the rest of the players have no achievements. , Failed to make a three-pointer.

This also led to the Thunder scoring only 28 points in a single quarter, 7 points behind the Lakers.

In the second quarter, the situation remained the same.

Halftime is over.

The Thunder fell behind by 15 points.

The audience at the scene were emotional, and they all expected the Lakers to win the game.

However, unexpectedly, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

It's the second half.

All the three-point shooters of the Thunder team suddenly broke out, and they all felt better.

Especially Qin Feng, who scored 3 three-pointers in a row.

Then Durant, Redick, and Batum all made three-pointers.

In less than 4 minutes, the Thunder threw 6 three-pointers and hit a climax of 18:8, narrowing the point difference to 5 points in one fell swoop.

Phil hurriedly called a timeout to adjust, hoping to curb the Thunder's crazy three-point shooting.

But to no avail.

Although the Lakers' strategy is to defend against three-pointers, the Thunder's offensive strengths are not only three-pointers, but also mid-range.

When the Lakers expanded their defense beyond the three-point line, the defense inside that three-point line became empty.

Durant, Qin Feng, and Westbrook, three players who can shoot mid-range, quickly made the Lakers pay the price.

Westbrook is okay, the zombies are not on time when jumping.

But Durant and Qin Feng's middle distance is one of the housekeeping skills.

The two took turns to attack, and one mid-range after another was like a murderous knife, stabbing the heart of the Lakers player.

Under such an offensive, the Thunder quickly overtook the score and gained a 6-point lead before the end of the third quarter.

The audience began to quiet down, all nervously waiting for the start of the fourth quarter.

"The Lakers... are hanging! In the third quarter, the Thunder completely reversed the momentum and the score. They are young, energetic, and have a strong impact! And the Lakers showed in the third quarter that they seemed to be dead The old man, every attack is full of difficulties."

"If it weren't for Kobe's 10 points in a single quarter to support him, I'm afraid the point difference will be widened even more now."

The on-site commentator said, his face was full of worry.

Who would have thought that last year's defending champion would be beaten by the Thunder in this year's playoffs without a temper.

The fourth quarter started quickly.

The Lakers went straight to the full lineup.

Looking at this posture, I am not going to rest the core players of Kobe and Gasol.

For the Thunder, Brooks also arranged for Qin Feng and Durant to stay on the court.

Because the first two games were loud for the Lakers, neither of them played in the fourth quarter, so their physical strength is still very strong.

And Qin Feng is an out-and-out stamina monster.

There is no need to worry about the physical strength of the head star.

Kobe started his personal offensive mode again, trying to use his powerful offensive ability to reverse the situation of the game.

But it is a pity that he is facing Qin Feng, who is more capable of scoring than him, and Durant, who is comparable to Kobe.

A pair of two, after all, can't take advantage of it.

The Thunder continued to increase the score.

By the halfway point of the fourth quarter, the Thunder had extended their lead to 16 points.

The Lakers ... the game is over.

Some audience members couldn't help sobbing.

The hope of defending the title was shattered like this!

on the field.

The players of the Lakers are still insisting, and Kobe will not give up.

He is still attacking crazily, defending desperately, and striving to win the ball every round.

The unyielding spirit is admirable.

But the more this happens, the more desolate and powerless Kobe becomes.

Even Phil couldn't stand it anymore, and replaced Kobe with 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

"Man, don't be too sad, we have another game."

Phil patted Kobe on the shoulder and said.

Kobe didn't speak, but went straight to the end of the bench and sat next to the water cooler.

Both of them actually knew it well.

With the current strength of the Lakers, there is absolutely no way to compete with the Thunder, so what about the next game?

Still can't escape the fate of losing!

This year is doomed.

Presumably the Lakers' management has set their sights on next season.

How to strengthen so that the Lakers can still maintain the competitiveness of winning the championship will be the most important thing for the Lakers management this summer.

After all, anyone can tell that, following the old saying of the lineup, the Lakers' lineup is far away from the first echelon of the NBA.

It's like the Celtics, they have reached the point where they can't be broken! !
