The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 108 Death Five (please subscribe~)

In Lakers games, Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines most of the time, neither commanding loudly nor shouting at the referees, but just watching quietly, with a tactical back from time to time.

Look at Coach Brooks, who was so anxious that he almost went up to play by himself. The reaction of the coach on the sidelines also explained the situation on the court.

After more than 4 minutes in the first quarter, the inside line of the Thunder team was completely blown away by Gasol and Bynum.

Especially Gasol, not only forced Jeff Green in the low post, but also frequently sent assists for his teammates.

That is to say, Bynum couldn't do a good job and vomited the cake twice, otherwise the Lakers currently made all shots.

Couldn't bear it any longer. Coach Brooks asked for a timeout. Krstic was already invisible on the field. He couldn't get in on the offensive end, and he couldn't restrain Bynum on the defensive end. He was completely blown away.

The most important thing is that the Thunder actually had a lot of outside opportunities, but Jeff Green was determined today. He scored 4 for 1 in the opening game, which caused the Lakers Gasol to defend less and less.

"Guys, cheer up and make a decisive shot. Green, don't hesitate. The open space must be firm. We must open up the offensive space on the court."

Coach Brooks can only give everyone chicken soup at this time. The bankrupt version of the triangle offense can't play against the genuine one, because the Lakers have excellent defensive resources.

Artest and Kobe only need to defend against each other and let you break through. When you go in, the twin towers protecting the frame are waiting for you. In addition, the referee's penalty scale is relatively loose today, and the whistle is really not given for fouls.

Li Ze was also a bit bored emotionally. He played very reasonably, and the whole team played very reasonably, but he didn't blame Jeff Green for failing to make shots.

The Lakers currently lead 14 to 9 and are playing extremely efficiently. Except for a breakthrough by the turtle, the Thunder scored 9 points, and the rest were scored from the outside.

"Russell, Kevin, Kayce, increase your aggressiveness, we can't fall behind too much in the first quarter, let's play!"

Head coach Brooks finally told the trio that they had to rely entirely on talent to play, and the tactics couldn't stand it.

The three of Li Ze also nodded. Since the coach allows, they can play more freely.

"Russell, you need to focus more on Fisher. Pay attention to their defense, get out the ball fast, and attack more resolutely. You can also shoot long shots. We also have a chance to get long rebounds."

Li Ze talked to Guigui about the game strategy before going on the court. The rookie Gui still listened to the coach very much, so he played a little cautiously at the beginning.

"No problem, Bro, this style of play seems to have returned to UCLA, don't worry!" Guigui said confidently.

The corner of Li Ze's mouth twitched when he heard this. The college tortoise's offense is to break through and then pass the grenade. Coupled with the ineffective mid-range, the defensive end is really hard, but it is a pity that it often misses people.

Back from the timeout, after the turtle dribbled halfway, facing the old fish Fisher's defense, two steps away from the three-point line, he began to accelerate, dribbled the ball with his right hand and changed direction, resisted Fisher's defense, and made a free throw Line emergency stop jumper.

"Shua" scored a 2-pointer.

"Oh! Russell successfully destroyed Fisher's defense, the boy is so powerful! Fisher's legs seemed to be frozen in place."

Kevin Harlan laughed and teased Fisher's performance.

The Lakers' offense is still unhurried. After Kobe came out to catch the ball, Gasol raised the pick-and-roll, and Li Ze nimbly squeezed through, but Gasol, who was going down, received the ball again. He dribbled with his right hand and turned around. The hook shot was successful.

Jeff Green tried his best, it really can't prevent
The Thunder quickly served the ball. After Li Zeyun passed halftime, Guigui and Durant began to run in a figure of eight. The three of them passed the ball continuously from the outside, and Krstic and Jeff Green also pulled to the line to cover.

After the turtle received the ball, it suddenly accelerated. Jeff Green made a very solid screen this time, which slowed Fisher's pursuit and defense by a step.

"Pa" angrily sent a cap.

"No problem, Russell, go ahead!"

Li Ze quickly yelled twice, and he had to break through resolutely. If he could make a foul, he would earn money.

Seeing that the offensive time was running out, Li Ze served from the bottom line, ready to let Durant take over, and gave his teammates a look. Durant came out from the outside to cover and took a jumper.

"Shua" scored 2 points, and Li Ze added another assist.

But in the next few minutes, the point difference still could not be narrowed. The Lakers' twin towers were too stable, no matter how they played, and Krstic had already fouled twice.

Li Ze looked at Kobe in front of him, and couldn't help complaining in his heart:
"It can't be a stand-in, it's so reasonable to say that it's good to get the ball and do it!"

Kobe was very selfless in the first quarter, that is, the transition ball, to the inside offense, he made two shots, all hits, the big guy didn't say a word on the court, and the defensive end gave him a confrontation.

During the long timeout in the first quarter, everyone in the Thunder team had already returned from their inflated state of mind. They were beaten so badly that Krstic almost doubted his life.

"Ibaka, try to control the fouls after playing and protect the rebounds!"

Coach Brooks really has no insiders to use, so he can only send the rookie Ibaka to the field.

"I see, coach!"

In fact, Ibaka has been improving all the time. After all, with the addition of Li Ze's [Defensive Core] badge, coupled with the gradual increase in game experience, he is no longer as frizzy as the previous few games.

"Serge, it's enough to interfere with their shots, don't cut the ball, Collison can't play, the inside depends on you!"

Li Ze spoke in Spanish next to Ibaka, explaining what the coach said in detail.

Ibaka gave Li Ze a thumbs up, expressing that he fully understood.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers attacked, Gasol responded from the free throw line, Artest came out of the screen to receive the pass, and directly pulled out from the three-point line
"Bang" is iron.

The long rebound popped out, Li Ze picked it up smoothly, and immediately launched a transition attack. Both Guigui and Durant were speeding up crazily, noticing that Kobe wanted to come up to interfere, and immediately passed it to Guigui.

After receiving the pass, the latter threw it into the sky. Although the pass was a little high, it didn't have much impact on Durant. He jumped up to catch the ball, and dunked with both hands!

"Kang" "Oh!!"

The audience at Staples also exclaimed, the counterattack was too fast.

"Excellent transition attack, this is the offensive rhythm that the Thunder need most, they have to run!"

Reggie Miller has been giving the Thunder ideas, and he hopes the game will be a little more exciting.

Perhaps seeing Ibaka play, Bynum suddenly indulged in low-post singles at this time, but was interfered by Ibaka and missed consecutively.

Li Ze knew that the opportunity was coming. In the offensive round, he made a strong three-pointer against Gasol after a pick-and-roll.
Facing Artest's defense in the next round, after continuous crotch dribbles, he pretended to break through with his right hand, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, followed another crotch dribble to change direction, and stepped back to shoot a three-point jumper.

"Shua" "Oh!!!"

After scoring a three-pointer, Artest was kneeled by Li Zehuang again.
After scoring consecutive three-pointers, the Thunder overtook the score 21-20. Turtle excitedly had a chest bump with Li Ze to celebrate.

Phil Jackson stood up at this time, gestured to the Lakers, and then calmly continued to retreat tactically.

In the next round, Li Ze was completely speechless. Kobe came to single him in the low post again, and his uncle was about to hit him back!

Bang and clang twice, giving Li Ze a hard time, and then watching Kobe turn over and score a jumper.

"This is how men play, Boy!" after scoring.Kobe didn't forget to put an X on Li Ze, and turned around and left after finishing speaking.
"Haha, it seems that Kobe wants to educate the rookies. Maybe he has to be serious. Kobe rarely takes the initiative to attack in the first quarter."

The offense made Kevin Harlan laugh.

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Kobe got excited. The defensive end chased Li Ze, and the offensive end played consecutive singles.

34 to 25, the Lakers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was too high, almost all the balls were scored, Kobe played hard in the last few minutes, 5 of 5, and easily scored 10 points.

During the break between festivals, Durant covered his head with a towel depressedly, and silently added water.

Anti-drop shooting, in front of the tacit defensive rotation of the Lakers, Durant couldn't break through, and his shots hit the iron frequently. He made 6 of 1 long-range shots from the outside, basically invisible.

Li Ze was also depressed. With Gasol, he couldn't double-team Kobe at all. If he defended alone, the opponent would hit him with his body and strength behind his back.

Especially Kobe has fake moves in every move. If he is not careful, the opponent will fall back.

After thinking about it, I really can't beat it, the inside twin towers are so terrifying!

Originally, Li Ze wanted to break in and make a foul, but he sent 2 mistakes in anger. This version does not allow touching porcelain at all. Of course, it may be that his skills are not good enough, and the porcelain is not strong enough.

Head coach Brooks is also worried that the inside line is not matched at all. The Lakers' rotation in the second quarter will definitely have a height on the court, and it still cannot solve the problem.

"Guys, cheer up, this is a national live broadcast, play your aggressiveness, Green, you rest first in the second quarter, Sefolosha, after playing, you have the opportunity to make a decisive shot."

Head coach Brooks directly dispatched his five dead boys, Guigui, Li Ze, Sefoloza, Durant, and Ibaka.

Since Jeff Green can't defend and is iron, then put on an outside line, try the touch, and the defense is completely gone.

The Lakers' Gasol remained on the floor in the second quarter, while the rotation featured Jordan Farmar, Shannon Brown, Josh Powell and Lamar Odom.

The lineup of the Lakers still has inside and outside. Both Odom and Gasol can control the ball, and they don't suffer on the defensive end.

Sure enough, the Lakers continued to play Gasol after playing. The immature Ibaka basically had no resistance and couldn't defend at all. Coupled with Odom's go-between, the Lakers combined internally and externally and played a wave of 12 to 4. .

Coach Brooks had no choice but to call a timeout again, and Li Ze was already scratching his head, except that he and Guigui scored two goals and thought that his teammates were solid.

Obviously there are open opportunities on the outside, but they just can't make a shot. Everyone is determined to play against the wind. This is really the "death five", who went up and ended the game directly.

"Sorry guys, I'm having a rough day!"

During the timeout, Durant whispered an apology to everyone. After all, if he hadn't been too tough, there was still room for this game.

"Don't blame yourself, Bro, we are tired of logging. Everyone has bad moments. It's no big deal. It's just a regular season."

Li Ze comforted him aloud, the game is for 5 people, if you can't play well, you can team up with CBA
"Don't get frustrated, guys, the game isn't over, stick to our game plan, Kevin, keep shooting, don't care about the stats!"

Coach Brooks continued to encourage everyone.

Li Ze looked at the Lakers' bench, and the opponent still had a calm face, showing no joy of winning:

Maybe the Lakers players didn't regard the Thunder as their opponents at all. In their hearts, the Thunder was still the big team from last season.

League first?just a joke
In the Staples Arena, the live DJ is leading the audience to play some small games to enliven the atmosphere. Everyone is smiling happily. They know that their home team will reap another victory.

Li Ze looked around for a week, and secretly made up his mind: "Next time we must not lose like this!"

The game was still going on, but there was no longer any suspense. The main players of both sides had reached the third quarter, and the last quarter had completely entered garbage time.

Commentator Kevin Harlan and guest Reggie Miller were also commenting on the game.

"As a seasoned player, Reggie, what do you say to the young guys on the Thunder, they all look a bit frustrated."

There is nothing to explain the situation on the court, and Kevin Harlan also started to talk about some digressions.

"I just want to say that you don't have to pay too much attention to the outcome of a game. This is just a regular season. The Lakers are the defending champions. The Thunder should be prepared to lose before the game."

"At the same time, I also want to give the boys some advice from those who have experienced it. Add some strength training appropriately, make good use of your body, and don't rely too much on talent. Superstars should also start with defense."

Reggie Miller hopes that these talented players of the Thunder can calm down and develop good basketball habits. Most old-timers like young players with good talents.

"That's great, I believe the guys will accept your suggestion, and I believe the Thunder will get better and better!"

In the rest of the time, commentator Kevin Harlan also chatted about gossip, and there was nothing to say about the game.

In the end, the final whistle sounded, 108 to 88, and the Lakers beat the Thunder at home, continuing their winning streak.

After the game, the players from both sides gave a brief greeting. Kobe found Li Ze and said with a smile:

"Do you want to join my training camp during the offseason?"

Li Ze was taken aback for a moment, then replied with a smile on his face:
"I want to join your training camp after defeating you completely. Believe me, I will learn your tricks soon!"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to that day, but don't make me wait too long."

Kobe smiled and patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and the two exchanged pleasantries before saying goodbye and leaving.

In the locker room after the game, everyone on the Thunder team calmed down after losing. Durant asked curiously:

"Kayce, what did Kobe and you talk about? You two had a good laugh."

"Nothing, Kobe invited me to his training camp during the offseason, but I declined."

Li Ze said casually while changing clothes.

"Why, it must be nice to train with Kobe, you guys have a similar style of play."

After hearing Li Ze's words, Guigui asked curiously again.

"I want to beat him before I talk, otherwise Kobe will definitely keep preaching in training camp!"

Li Ze shrugged and explained briefly, but at the same time secretly complained:
"Mamba disciple? A real boss doesn't need such a title."
