Chapter 189 Farmar's Mask of Pain (please subscribe, ask for a monthly pass)

Before leaving the court, Lin Yue only scored one point through free throws and added two assists. The first quarter was never the time for Lin Yue to play.

Barkley was also completely surprised by Lin Yue's performance. After these four games, Lin Yue's first quarter was very dismal.

After Lin Yue left the field, the Thunder's offensive mode changed.

Jeff Green has the ability to pass the ball, but he can't pass it as accurately and fast as Lin Yue, which makes the ball return to Curry.

Kobe didn't feel very good today. After Jeff Green came up, he was consumed on the defensive end.

Brooks' goal is simple. He doesn't expect Jeff Green to guard Kobe alone. After all, Kobe's scoring ability is well known in the NBA.

However, as long as the wheel battles continue to consume, his shooting percentage will definitely drop, so that the Thunder will have the possibility of winning.

"The Thunder always replace Lin Yue at this time, and this substitution is just like a timer."

Zhang Weiping's teasing words resonated with the vast number of Chinese fans. They wanted to see more of Lin Yue playing on the court, why was he always replaced so early in the first quarter.

"The Thunder now use Lin Yue as the best sixth man. They play a false start in the first quarter and lead the team alone in the transitional period of the second quarter." Yu Jia explained.

Back in the game, Bryant passed the ball to his teammates without a good shot after the confrontation.

Odom and Gasol had an internal pass, and Sefolosha's physical confrontation was no match for Odom.

Gasol made a time difference at the basket, waited until Collison took off before taking off, and put the ball in.

"The Thunder still have many problems inside. If their inside can improve, they can really become a dark horse this season." Kenny Smith said.

"It is indeed the case. The Thunder need to clean up some junk contracts. Their main players are all on rookie contracts. They have room for manipulation. It depends on their choices next season." Barkley said.

After the Lakers scored another goal, they led by 16 points 10-6.

Afterwards, Curry dribbled back to catch his crotch, changed direction and passed Fisher, easily picked the basket and scored two points.

After the goal was scored, the Thunder's defensive strategy changed, and they began to try to shrink their defense. The Lakers' three-pointers were not accurate, especially the lineup on the field. Except for Lao Yu, no one was accurate in three-pointers.

Kobe and Ci Shiping can shoot, but they are not accurate. If they are forced to shoot three-pointers, it will be beneficial to the Thunder.

Since you can't prevent it, choose the most effective one. If you are killed by a three-pointer, then Brooks will admit it.

After shrinking, it is also difficult for Gasol to receive the pass from his teammates, the position is not good, and he is easy to be intercepted.

The Lakers pulled beyond the three-point line and tried to trick the defender to come out, but the Thunder player just wouldn't come out.

If you want to shoot a three-pointer, shoot it. I will never defend.

Kobe really made a three-pointer. Jeff Green didn't fully release the shot and started to interfere when the opponent made a shot. Kobe didn't make another three-pointer.

After the bullet came out, Sefolosha under the basket grabbed the front point. This time Collison helped him get both Gasol and Odom stuck.

Curry launched a fast break, and Durant followed.

However, the Lakers retreated quickly, taking the first step to stop the fast-breaking opponent.

As long as Curry waits for other teammates to take their positions, he can still only play positional warfare, and there is no rush.

With the experience of being beaten last time, Fisher is more careful. He puts pressure on Curry to fight. Under the circumstances, Curry can't shoot a three-pointer.

Curry passed the ball to Durant, and Durant, who was three-for-three, tried to pull up again.

Gasol protected the defensive rebounds. Although he was always criticized for being soft in the past, leaving aside the stereotype, Gasol actually did a good job of rebounding inside. He is not a traditional big center and focuses on the body.

His skills at the basket are exquisite, he has mid-range shots, he can also play with the ball, and he has high-quality screens, so after partnering with Kobe, they can win the championship.

In the first quarter, the rhythm was always in the hands of the Lakers. Kobe played the entire quarter, and the Thunder shrank their formation. He frequently broke into the penalty area and caused damage. He charged like carrying a dynamite bag on each ball.

It was also thanks to Kobe's performance that the Lakers led by five points 30 to 25 at the end of the first quarter.

Kobe scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, playing well.

Durant and Curry both scored 8 points.

Lin Yue didn't appear again in the second half of the first quarter. He sat on the bench to cheer for his teammates, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to play when he played.

In the second quarter, the Lakers will definitely not let Kobe play at the beginning. If he is replaced by a backup point guard, he will have the opportunity to operate. It is time to strengthen his personal offense.

Just what Lin Yue thought, Phil Jackson used Farmar, Vujacic, Odom, Walton and Bynum in the second quarter.

On the Thunder's side are Lin Yue, Livingston, Sefolosha, Ibaka and Etan Thomas.

Livingston has never been valued by the coach after suffering a serious injury. After coming to the Thunder, he was also sent to the Development League to play. If the second team hadn't replaced Lin Yue as a point guard, and the team's backup shooting guard Jeff Green had just left the field, Brooks would not have thought of using Livingston.

But this is also an opportunity Brooks gave Livingston. If he still does not perform well this season, the team will consider laying off.

Farmar, who is 1 meters tall, was dumbfounded when he looked at Lin Yue, who was 88 meters in front of him. Damn, why is he the backup point guard.

Phil Jackson didn't know it would be such a lineup.

Farmer took another look at the height of the others.

Livingston and Sefolosha are both over two meters tall.

Crazy!

The Thunder team uses a lineup of five big teams, with an average of two meters per person. With such a high height, this is to use their height to suppress their opponents.

"With a striker like Lin Yue who can handle and pass the ball, the team's lineup can be really strange." After seeing the Thunder's lineup, Barkley can only describe it as strange.

Isn't Lin Yuelai slapping Farmar unilaterally?

Lin Yue's dribbling is not good, but it also depends on the defensive player. After all, Lin Yue also started as a point guard. Facing a point guard of Farmar's level, his ball-handling skills are more than enough.

And the increase in the height of the inside line makes them not afraid of the height of the basket.

"How to fight this?" Barkley didn't know either.

"This..." Kenny Smith didn't know.

On the first ball of the second quarter, Lin Yue hit the ball against Farmar's face with Kobe's same style of throwback.

It's just so unreasonable, the same drift, the same picturesque, and different defenders.

Farmar never thought that he could find the feeling of an intra-team match against other players.

Farmer immediately put on the pain mask.
