The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 224 Fighting the Lakers Again (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)

As a wealthy team in the NBA, the Lakers have many stars. This can be seen from the best lineup of the Lakers in the 2K game. There are too many players who can play.

In addition, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and the Lakers are naturally a big football market. There are many stars who are willing to come, so it will not take much time to rebuild such a team.

Last season, under the leadership of Kobe and Gasol, the Lakers won the championship again after seven years. Their popularity returned to the peak, and Kobe also got the upper hand in the No.1 competition in the league as he wished.

At that time, O'Neal was already old. Although the old Shark was still very strong at the basket, he was far from the dominance he had at his peak.

The Lakers not only have the championship, but also have loyal fans. The Zijin Lakers' momentum in this game made Lin Yue panic in the away game.

To be honest, he had never seen such a scene before. He didn't feel much watching it on TV before, but when he stood on the field in person, his feeling was only one word, "absolutely".

This kind of home atmosphere is really rare in the league.

"Haha, Lin, you really have such an expression. When I first came here, I was also shocked by the fans. In the past two years, the Lakers are definitely the most popular team in the league." Curry said.

There are many rich people in Los Angeles, so there are naturally many people watching the game. Although the Clippers share the same venue as the Lakers, due to their short history and poor performance, the number of fans is far less exaggerated than the Lakers.

In addition, the attention of this game is also very high. In the last game against the Thunder, the Lakers relied on the performance of their double stars to win the game. Kobe in overtime was like a god of war.

However, the performance of the Thunder team's three young players is also not inferior. It is really difficult to predict who will win this game.

At present, the Lakers have 9 wins and 3 losses, and the Thunder have a record of 9 wins and 4 losses. The outcome of this game will directly affect the ranking of the two teams.

The starting lineup sent by the Lakers is Fisher, Kobe, Metta World Peace, Bynum and Gasol.

The starting lineup sent by the Thunder is Curry, Lin Yue, Durant, Sefolosha and Collison.

In the opening jump ball, Collison beat Gasol to grab the team's first offensive opportunity.

Curry pushed forward with the ball, and Lao Yu followed closely. With the experience of last time, he deliberately narrowed the distance with Curry, not giving the opponent a chance to easily shoot a three-pointer.

Curry habitually passed the ball to Lin Yue, and the man defending him in front of him was Kobe. Lin Yue was obviously a little excited to face his idol again, especially after the last game, Kobe took the initiative to greet him. Such a friendly conversation surprised him. No wonder Kobe took good care of Yao Ming when he entered the All-Star Game.

Unlike many players in the league who discriminate against yellow races, Kobe is still very friendly, strong and good character at the same time.

However, Lin Yue is not afraid of Kobe, he just wants to show off in front of his idol, if he really likes him, then stand on the same stage, either as a teammate to win together, or as an opponent to defeat him.

This time Lin Yue did not choose to pass the ball, but asked for a one-on-one, which was his personal obsession.

You must know that Kobe has been selected to the best defensive team for several years in a row. His defensive ability is even more fierce than Wade. Durant and others can't help but sweat for Lin Yue. This guy is really bold enough to choose a one-on-one with Kobe.

Lin Yue speeded up his dribbling, and then dribbled under his crotch, intending to dribble as usual, but Kobe was not an ordinary person. Although Lin Yue consciously accelerated his speed, he still failed to pass Kobe, and instead was forced to stop the ball under his fierce defense.

"This is really an irrational choice. There is not much time left in the attack. Stopping the ball at this time is tantamount to a mistake." Zhang Weiping said, this time he did not habitually say the phrase "Lin Yue, play with him".

Because he is Zhang Bryant Weiping. All the fans who watched the live broadcast know how much he loves Kobe. Of course, Kobe also conquered him with his strength. Zhang Weiping was the main scorer of the Chinese national team when he was young.

It is normal for him to like Kobe in the same position as Kobe.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yue didn't pass the ball. Instead, he took off forcefully with a time difference and leaned back against Kobe's defense.

"Bangdang."

The ball hit the front edge of the basket. Suddenly, a figure passed through. Lin Yue judged where the ball landed. After all, he shot it himself, and grabbed the ball before Gasol.

After getting the offensive rebound, Lin Yue made a second attack under the basket and scored the ball against Gasol. Such a tough goal made the fans on the scene exclaim, and Kobe's expression also changed.

"It seems that this game is interesting." Kobe was really curious. Every time he met Lin Yue, the opponent always gave him a different feeling. It seemed that he would improve after a few days. I wonder if he was thinking too much.

"This ball is really daring. Lin Yue is too daring to hit it." Zhang Weiping looked very excited. In all fairness, he hoped that Lin Yue would win more than Kobe.

Fisher dribbled the ball across the half court, and the Lakers started to run. After receiving the ball, Kobe directly punched Lin Yue with his back. The opponent just scored a goal. This time, he must be replaced.

After shaking continuously, he turned and leaned back to shoot. Seeing Kobe's movements at close range again made Lin Yue a little fascinated. As expected, he still had some shortcomings. Kobe's core strength is strong, so when doing this set of movements, the balance is very good, and after so many years of use, the fadeaway jump shot has long been a unique skill.

There is no familiar sound of iron striking, but it makes people a little uncomfortable.

The basketball was hollow into the net, and Kobe made the first shot of the game.

2 to 2, the start was so strong.

Durant received a pass from Lin Yue near the free throw line. The Lakers still used Ci Shiping to defend Durant. After the confrontation, his shot went wide.

Sure enough, it is very difficult to beat Ci Shiping. The current Lakers are among the top teams in the league in terms of defense, which really explains what it means to win a championship with defense.

Everyone in the Thunder team also strengthened their defense. When defending the ball holder, they kept reaching out to interfere. This time Kobe did not shoot the ball himself, but passed it to Fisher who had a better chance outside the three-point line.

Curry immediately took off to interfere. Needless to say, the opponent will definitely choose a three-pointer.

Lao Yu's three-pointer missed the basket.

At the beginning, both teams worked hard on defense, and everyone couldn't score for a while.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on personal ability for singles.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the Thunder's half court, suddenly picked up speed, changed direction and passed Lin Yue, who was not ready yet, and hit another mid-range shot.

4 to 2, the Lakers' first two goals were scored by Kobe.

"Kobe played very resolutely on the offensive end this time. It seems that Lin Yue's defensive effect is not good." Zhang Weiping said.

Lin Yue was a little distressed. Recently, he was always playing against these famous stars. It was not as simple as talking about it to guard against these perverted guys.

Kobe's receding range is very large, and his movements are extremely confusing. If he feels good, the defense will naturally not have much effect.

After all, he is the one who scored 81 points in a single game, and his explosive scoring power is one of the best in the league.

"Why does everyone like to play singles?" Lin Yue began to wonder if he had become a breakthrough on the defensive end, and all the stars stared at him to play.

Carter of the Magic, Arenas of the Wizards, and Kobe, the offense is always so determined when they meet him.

As Durant missed another shot, Lin Yue probably knew that he didn't feel good tonight.

Fisher puts the ball to Gasol at the basket, who hits back in the penalty area and hooks Collison's defense.

The basketball hit the backboard and the score came to 6-2.

In the next two rounds, both sides made mistakes, and the scene was a bit chaotic, but they couldn't convert the mistakes into points. The fight was so fierce from the beginning, and the fans on the scene were hooked.

After half a quarter, Lin Yue was replaced. At this time, the Thunder team was 10 to 20, trailing the Lakers by as many as 10 points. Kobe scored 5 of 3 and scored 8 points with two free throws.

Lin Yue's defensive effect was not good this time. Kobe was in a good state. Not only did he score the ball to Gasol at the basket on the offensive end, but he also blocked Curry's layup on the defensive end. He was very excited.

For the Thunder, Durant made 4 of 0 shots and was restrained by Ci Shiping. After the confrontation, even his shots would change direction.

Curry made 4 of 2 three-pointers and scored 6 points, supporting the Thunder's offense.

However, the offense was not going well, and there were also problems with the defense. They were at a disadvantage in every position, and the Thunder were overwhelmed for a while.

As long as the defending champion shows some real skills, the Thunder will be overwhelmed. The record difference between the two teams is not that big, but the strength is obvious. The Thunder is at a disadvantage. This is a difficult problem to solve.

After Lin Yue left the field, Brooks replaced Jeff Green. However, Kobe was useless tonight.

Kobe, who played at home, broke out.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder were 18 to 35 and trailed by 17 points in a single quarter.

Kobe played the entire first quarter, 9 of 6 shots, 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter. Not only did he have high efficiency, but he also drove the team.

拜纳姆6中5，拿到11分4篮板1盖帽。

The combination of these two is much higher than the Thunder.

Durant was completely out of shape, making 5 of 0 shots. The first quarter was a personal tragedy. He didn't make any shots, including a three-pointer that missed the basket. With the performance of the team leader, it is simply unrealistic for the Thunder to win against the Lakers.

During the timeout, Durant looked a little anxious. He knew that he didn't play well, and some shots were too reluctant. After the confrontation, he probably guessed that he would miss the shot.

But he didn't make a pass, and tried to challenge the Lakers' defense. As for the result, it can be seen from the shooting percentage that it was not ideal.

For the Lakers, Phil Jackson was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first quarter. All the required players did it, and they did a good job. They bloomed internally and externally. The Thunder didn't know what formation to use.

After replenishing water, Kobe looked at the Thunder bench next door who was actively preparing tactics, "It seems that these beasts are still in their infancy."

This game was easier than expected. It seemed that once they were serious and showed a playoff attitude, this game only defeated their opponents in the first quarter.

Looking at the championship banner, Kobe's eyes became more determined. He must successfully defend his title this year. The current team's configuration is not bad.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder sent Kevin Ollie, Lin Yue, Livingston, Sefolosha and Ibaka.

The Lakers sent Farmar, Metta World Peace, Adam Morris, Odom, Gasol.

Adam Morrison seems to be a player who walked out of an old NBA video in the 70s. Whether it is his long fluffy curly hair or the old-style stockings on his feet, it always gives people a sense of age.

If it weren't for the normal attire of other players, Lin Yue really thought he had traveled back to the 70s.

Even though they were behind by as much as 17 points, the Thunder players did not panic. This was not the first time they fell behind by a big score. Moreover, it was just after the first quarter, and they still had time to complete the overtake.
