NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Because this game is particularly critical, the Thunder coach made a temporary change and deliberately put James Harden in the starting lineup.

The purpose is to take the lead with powerful firepower and consume the physical strength of the Lakers.

In this way, in the second half, it becomes very difficult for the Lakers to chase points.

Judging from the current effect, it is still good. James Harden successfully got rid of the defense, grabbed the inside line, caught the ball before everyone took off, and dunked his hands vigorously to complete the attack.

In charge of defending Harden, it is Artest.

Artest was also very annoyed at his passers-by. Before the game, Artest had put down harsh words to let Harden, the super 6th player on the opposite side, score no points, but who would have thought that such a score would happen within a minute 's mistakes.

At this time, Harden was also young and vigorous, and the way he played, "Zero Four Three" was also very violent.

Likes to score with breakthroughs and dunks, but has not achieved the kind of composure and likes to use rules to complete free throws.

In the face of Harden's provocation, Artest also muttered softly, and the two soon got into a fight, looking like they were about to fight.

"Atai, calm down!

Seeing this picture, Kobe took the initiative to step forward and pat Artest on the back, signaling him not to get excited.

Unexpectedly, James Harden saw Artest gradually calm down, but provoked again.

"It's useless, you can't beat me except for losing your temper, so you should restrain yourself!

"Brother, I advise you to shut up. If you anger Artest, the consequences will be very serious!"

After hearing Harden's words, Lin Lei also came over and said to him with a smile.

Although Lin Lei had a smile on his face, his tone was extremely cold. At this moment, he seemed to have regained the aura of reigning over the world, making people dare not look directly at him.

James Harden didn't expect that Lin Lei would come behind him in the blink of an eye, turned his head to take a look, and left quietly.

The game just went on for a minute, the score between the two sides was 4:2, and the Lakers were temporarily behind by two points, but they had the ball.

In the next game, the two sides played back and forth, regardless of the fact that the Thunder team seemed to be more dominant in terms of physical strength and state.

However, the Lakers are also defending champions anyway, and the strength of Mvp-level players like Kobe and Lin Lei should not be underestimated, otherwise, they cannot become the team with the best record in the league.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 28. Lin Lei and Durant each scored 12 points. It seems that no one can fully gain the upper hand.

Kobe Bryant also played valiantly, making 4 of 6 shots in a single quarter, and repeatedly used his signature back-to-back mid-range shot to score points on the opponent's head.

Coming to the second quarter, the battle situation was still very fierce, and the wave after wave of offensive also overwhelmed the audience at the scene.

Everyone lamented that this game will not be the focus of the battle, even if the ticket price is high, it is worth the money.

The time came to 6 minutes and 45 seconds of the second quarter, and the score between the two sides was 48, still very anxious.

The Lakers had the ball in their hands, and Lin Lei went beyond the arc again after receiving the pass.

This time, he did not rush to attack, but feinted and passed the ball to Kobe in the middle distance.

Kobe Bryant received the ball, first turned around and prepared to use his back to open his body.

But Durant and Westbrook also came up to make up the defense as soon as they saw it. Facing the defense of the three, he did not choose to act recklessly.

Artest on the side saw this and went to the basket for the first time. This time, because James Harden's attention was all on Kobe, he successfully missed Artest.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately passed the ball to Artest who was unguarded.

Artest, who was holding his breath, how could he miss such an opportunity, he rushed directly to the basket and completed the score with dunks with both hands.

The current situation of James Harden, who is making up the defense, is also very angry, and he is very dissatisfied with his leak just now.

Looking at James, Harden looked annoyed, Artest was very happy, and the celebration was very big.

So much so that when passing by James Harden to prepare, Artest subconsciously raised his arm and swung it out according to James Harden's head!

"Boom!

As Artest's arm was swung out, there was only a scream in the next second, James Harden's head was hit hard by Artest's elbow!

At the same time, Harden also fell to the ground, and the whole person completely lost consciousness...

Artest's elbowing Harden incident, which shocked the NBA league, finally happened!

"What are you doing!"

When Ibaka, who was about to serve the Thunder, saw this picture, he rushed over immediately, waved his fist, and slammed it down on Artest's face.

When Lin Lei, Kobe and others saw this, they rushed over as soon as possible. This battle, which attracted the attention of the world, slipped into the abyss of gang fights in the blink of an eye...

Seeing that the situation on the scene was out of control, the referee stopped the game in time.

During this process, Artest's expression was very innocent, as if he didn't know he had made a mistake at all, and was pushed abruptly into the second half by the referee, temporarily isolating him and the Thunder players.

The audience at the scene also exclaimed, and even some players shouted "mvp", and at the same time applauded and welcomed Artest's performance just now, this picture was also unexpected by Lin Lei.

It can be seen that, as a home fan, the Lakers are also very fond of Artest, even if his actions are very dangerous, they still expressed their support.

In the process of Artest explaining to the referee, the big screen on the scene was playing back in real time.

It can be seen from the process just now that Artest's action does not seem to be intentional. He did not look directly at James Harden, but subconsciously waved his elbow.

This explanation still seems a little pale. After the referee made a penalty, he finally decided to directly eject Artest 5.9 from the field.

When leaving, Artest also waved his hands, like a hero, and left the arena with his head held high.

But at the same time, his end also took away a very strong offensive player on the other side - James Harden.

For the Lakers and the Thunder, there is no winner in this way. First of all, James Harden will definitely have a concussion and at least rest for a few games.

And Artest because of the big action, nine out of ten will also be suspended by the league.

Seeing this result, Lin Lei reluctantly shook his head and the game continued.

But when the referee was about to continue the game, the fiery Westbrook couldn't help but threw a sentence when passing by Lin Lei.

"Is this how the defending champions win? You Lakers guys play dirty! It's a shitty team!
