The Thunder called a timeout, and their starters have had some problems on offense recently.

In fact, it's not a big problem, but Durant and Westbrook don't feel very good.

The state of the players is inherently ups and downs, with peaks and troughs, and this phenomenon is even more obvious for ordinary players.

Maybe in a certain week or a certain month, a player's three-point status will be very good.

There are many games in a row, with a high shooting percentage every game.

Especially at the beginning of the season, some players will have the phenomenon of "explosion".

But the NBA schedule is long and there are many games, it is an endurance race.

Some of the players who are not in good condition will start to lose the chain in the middle of the season.

The shooting rate continues to decline, and it is very common to miss open shots from outside.

Superstar players like Durant and Westbrook will also fluctuate. This is because the lower limit is relatively high, and it will not be as obvious as ordinary players.

This week, the state of the two dived at the same time. The shooting percentages of three-pointers and mid-range shots have declined, and they often fail to start the game.

Then the Thunder had to rely on the second team to chase points.

Donovan didn't want to let Li Liang play too early. In the early days, Li Liang used it to consolidate his advantage and kill the opponent with one blow.

During the timeout, Donovan emphasized playing more inside shots and reducing outside shots.

At the same time, you can try a zone defense in defense to disrupt the rhythm of the Lakers' offensive organization.

After returning to the field after the timeout, Donovan's adjustments did not have a very good effect.

Playing inside, Hibbert's big black pillar is really effective under the basket.

Westbrook rushed to the basket but failed. Hibbert got the backcourt rebound and passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe used a dexterous dribble to avoid the defense in the counterattack, and then directly stopped and made a jumper.

With Kobe in this state, playing for another two years is not a problem at all. Li Liang sat on the bench and watched, really wondering why he had to retire.

Then, Durant rushed inside with the ball, but Leonard's defense against Durant was very good. Durant failed to get to the basket. In the end, he could only tilt his body and force an emergency stop jump shot, and he didn't shoot. middle.

The Thunder's offense was obviously in a hurry.

The Lakers played steadily, and Hibbert took back the backcourt rebound and gave it to Kobe.

Kobe crossed the half court unhurriedly, gave the ball to Love, walked inside by himself, and made a block for Leonard at the same time.

Leonard went to the outside line, caught the ball and pretended to shoot. After the fake move shook Durant away, he took the ball and forced the basket.

Facing Adams' supplementary defense, he grabbed the ball with one hand and went straight to the basket for a dunk!

Leonard's hands are really big, giant hands. Although his dribble breakthrough is not as spiritual as Kobe's, he is like a robot, reaching the basket straight, jumping quickly, and dunking a basket expressionlessly.

It can be clearly seen in the slow-motion playback that Leonard didn't have any expression when he dunked.

Jordan and Kobe would often stick out their tongues, and other players would vent their anger. Only Leonard, as if nothing happened.

The score has become 16:1, the Lakers are amazing, and the Thunder can't hold their heads up.

The Thunder finally ushered in a goal in the next attack.

Kevin Durant asked for the ball from his left waist, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and made a fallback jumper and scored two points.

Leonard interfered with the ball, but it was useless. Durant regained the feeling of shooting and was unmatched.

But looking back, Leonard also asked for the ball in the low post, caught the ball from the baseline, dribbled the ball with his back, and then made the same move, turning over and making a jumper!

This trick is a new trick Leonard learned in the new season. Under Kobe's guidance, it can be said to be quite smooth and excellent.

Leonard's shooting talent is not outstanding, his hand shape and posture are obviously stiff, and to put it bluntly, he is not good at the ball.

But relying on his own hard training, he raised his shooting to a high level in a very short time.

At 18:3, the Lakers established an absolute advantage of 15 points.

The Thunder's offense is slowly recovering, and Westbrook is starting to score.

He caught Hibbert's mistake in defensive positioning, rushed to the basket in one step, and succeeded in a gliding dunk with his left hand!

Westbrook's explosion and take-off cannot allow the defender to have a little loophole.

Hibbert was standing too far outside. He walked a little to the upper line, but was pierced.

But the Thunder did not usher in a turning point, because the Lakers are also scoring.

Kobe and Love cooperated in the pick-and-roll, Love went down to catch the ball, was covered by Robertson, and Love then distributed the ball to Leonard on the wing.

Leonard caught the ball and shot a mid-range jumper at a zero-degree angle, and hit it again!

He felt like he was here, it was like Durant was possessed, no matter how he shot.

And Durant, who was defending him, was very embarrassed, and was hit several times in a row.

Before the game started, he took the initiative to say that he could defend Leonard and let Robertson deal with Love.

The result is good, Leonard scored consecutively, still by shooting.

During pre-match preparations, Li Liang said, "Leonard, I'll take care of him in minutes. Don't bother at all. If you can't guard against it, it's your problem."

It's all right now, I can't guard against it, and I still can't make a shot, and I'm likely to be laughed at by Bruce Lee.

Sometimes Durant just thinks too much, and if he thinks too much, it will affect his state.

What do you mean is likely to be laughed at, you will definitely be laughed at by Li Liang!

Sure enough, Durant caught the ball from the outside in the middle of the offense and forced a three-pointer, but missed.

Li Liang couldn't sit still off the court, pointing at the court and yelling, "If you can't make a shot, don't throw it! Can you play? If you don't, I'll take you!"

Durant squinted at Li Liang who was off the court, curled his lips in displeasure.

But recently his condition is really mediocre. He caught a cold in the front end, and his body has just recovered and needs to be adjusted.

With the high-intensity schedule of the NBA, there is often not much time for you to adjust. You can only change the game to find the feeling, and the process will inevitably be a bit twists and turns.

But Durant didn't quite understand why Li Liang's condition was so stable, just like Stone Buddha Duncan.

Especially his shooting touch, which is extremely efficient and stable, is simply terrifying.

This may also be a talent.

...

With the last four minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by 13 points at 25:12.

Donovan pointed to Li Liang who was already hungry and thirsty on the bench, and called a timeout to get him ready to play.

As soon as Li Liang took off his sports jacket and stood on the court, the Staples Center began to cheer.

Los Angeles fans still love Bruce Lee.

Li Liang also shamelessly waved to the audience and fans.

Made it look like he was really an L.A. player.

The Thunder are all up and down, pure substitute, second team, second center.

For the Lakers, Kobe will definitely go down to rest, and Love will also go down to rest.

The one who stays on the court with the second unit is Leonard.

Seeing Li Liang's appearance, Leonard panicked for no reason.

Leonard played very well in the first quarter, shooting 6 of 7 shots and scoring 12 points alone, which is extremely efficient.

But when Li Liang got on, Leonard hinted in his heart, "It's over, this product is here, it feels like a pill."

Li Liang does have a psychological advantage against Leonard, and every time Leonard plays against Li Liang's team, he will suffer.

Not only the scene suffers, the data suffers, the outcome suffers, and even the psychology suffers.

Leonard is a person with excellent psychological quality, but every time he is provoked by Li Liang, he will get angry.

Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, he was always expressionless, but Li Liang knew it because he had received anger points.

And it gets delayed every time.

Leonard has arrived now, and he is a little angry when he sees Li Liang.

[Anger value +20, from Kawhien Leonard. 】

Li Liang was a little confused, damn it, I didn't do anything and didn't say anything, so you are angry at me?

After thinking about it, it might be the last game, which was delayed.
