The Thunder's offense is not only relying on Westbrook and Durant's singles, but the core of the team's offense is the two of them.

There was no way to open the situation in singles. After the second half of the game started, the two began to seek cooperation with their teammates.

The change in tactics allowed them to find a lot of opportunities on the offensive end.

Both Adams and Ibaka have the ability to eat cakes. With a pick-and-roll and a substitution, they seized the Lakers' defensive space and the Thunder took the opportunity to recover a few points.

Durant used the cover of his teammates to score a three-pointer from the outside, finally breaking his own scoring shortage.

The Thunder fans, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally became excited and cheered for Durant's goal.

The core of their own team began to explode. They expected Durant to lead the Thunder to launch a counterattack and overtake the score.

But to their despair, this tactic can only be played once.

In the next round, Durant still took the ball and sought to cooperate with Adams' 23 pick-and-roll. Durant retreated with the ball and shot off a screen.

Snapped!

As soon as Durant took the ball, Ye Fei called out with a slap, and blocked his shot with a fierce cap.

"Is the pick-and-roll useful? Tell you, in this game, you don't want to score easily."

Ye Fei's ridicule left Durant speechless. He thought Ye Fei couldn't catch up with this ball. But he didn't expect that he bypassed the screen player, quickly rushed over, and blocked Durant's shot.

This ball is entirely due to Ye Fei's super personal defensive ability, which can no longer be found in the league, such an unsolvable existence of defense.

Any defensive player, let alone come to block Durant. There are very few who can bypass defensive players and catch up to Durant. Not to mention that after chasing him, it is even rarer to block his shot.

But Ye Fei's ball covered him firmly, and he couldn't resist it.

What made Durant even more desperate was later.

In the next round, when the Thunder attacked, Durant still chose to play a pick-and-roll with his teammates. After receiving Ibaka's screen, Durant found room to make a shot, but he didn't make a shot. Seeing Ye Fei chasing and releasing, Durant crossed the ball from the base and wanted to hand it over to Ibaka who made an air cut.

The opportunity is good, the timing of the pass is also good, Durant's ball is very fast and very concealed.

But the ball did not pass to Ibaka.

It was Ye Fei who destroyed the Thunder's offense again, with an extremely precise interception of the gods, and in Durant's extremely desperate eyes, he cut the ball beautifully.

Seeing this scene, TNT guest commentator Barkley couldn't help but sympathize with Durant.

"It was really a game that made KD desperate. Ye's defense was omnipresent. He played very simple in this game. Under Ye's defense, he seemed at a loss.

Kenny Smith agrees.

"Indeed, Yeh has shown people his super single defense ability. Now, there is probably no player in the league who can't be defended by him. Even LeBron can't defend KD, in Yeh's defense He played very poorly. He had no touch, couldn’t show his strength at all, and even wanted to cooperate with his teammates, but he didn’t have a chance. Ye Ge’s defensive oppression was really terrible.”

Kevin Durant is now one of the most difficult players to guard in the league. Even James admitted frankly that the two can only explode each other at most, and he can't prevent KD's offense.

But in today's game, Durant finally understood what a suffocating defense is.

He was completely lost under Ye Fei's defense, and the offensive end was completely useless.

Durant can't play out, and the chances of the Thunder winning the game are slim.

Seeing his teammates play so poorly, Westbrook finally stood up.

But he didn't stand up to save the team, but pushed the team into the abyss. Westbrook turned on the singles mode and didn't give the ball to Durant at all, "choose to play alone.

In the first two rounds, his singles really worked out, and he made two consecutive breakthrough layups.

But Stephenson immediately adjusted his defensive strategy, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots, and blocked his side tightly, allowing him to come to Ye Fei's side.

The younger sister will increase the defensive intensity, making Westbrook more uncomfortable.

In the next round, with the Thunder's attack, Westbrook drove to the basket again, and Ye Fei's help defense made him look for a shot from the other side.

Westbrook reluctantly made a shot, which happened to fulfill Stephenson who was chasing and defending. He jumped up with a ferocious cap that slapped Westbrook's shot away.

This big cap let Stephenson play momentum.

After two rounds, Westbrook still chose to beat him forcefully. Stephenson was even more aggressive this time, grabbing the ball abruptly from Westbrook.

Two successful defenses broke Westbrook's mind.

Let him fall into the individual singles mode and cannot extricate himself.

Stephenson found a defensive strategy, entangled Westbrook tightly, and did not give him an easy chance to make a shot. It is a pity that he did not even hit the primary and secondary shots.

The Thunder's offense was in a mess, unable to play the desired offensive rhythm at all, and even forced coach Donovan to replace Westbrook.

The dual-core team became a single-core team, and the threat of scoring 870 offenses was greatly reduced. The Lakers firmly controlled the situation on the field and opened up the point difference a little bit.

Although Durant relied on his personal ability to help the Thunder recover the score a little while Ye Fei was resting off the court, it was of no avail.

After Ye Fei returned to the field, he misfired him again, making him lost on the offensive end again, unable to play his due role at all.

The Lakers have kept the point difference at around 10 points and "don't give the Thunder any chance at all.

Ye Fei holds Durant down and Stephenson entangles Westbrook.

Relying on defense to defeat the Thunder abruptly, the Lakers finally defeated the Thunder 112 to 102 in an away game, thus surpassing the Thunder and rising to third in the Western Conference, occupying an excellent position for their playoff journey.

After all, the Thunder's last back-to-back game against the second-ranked Spurs is not so easy to win. For the Lakers' final game against the Jazz, Ye Fei will definitely not give them any chance. The third place in the Western Conference must be the Lakers.

Ye Fei played very well in this game, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

Especially for Durant, Ye Fei's performance was perfect, he restricted Durant alone. .
