Chapter 188 Ci Shiping's Small Actions (Please ask for a monthly ticket, please subscribe)

Ci Shiping was thrown by Durant and felt very upset. After a loud cry, he started to serve the bottom line.

After the old fish led halftime, he gave the ball to Kobe again.

This time Kobe is no longer playing singles with his back, but leaning head-on.

Durant was at his side ready to help Lin Yue make up at any time. Kobe was faster than Roy, and he felt that Lin Yue could not live alone.

This time Kobe did not choose singles, and the Lakers began to rotate the ball.

Lao Yu got a good three-point opportunity after the screen, and threw the ball in with a knife.

3 to 2, the Lakers lead by one point.

The defensive intensity on both sides did not come up at the beginning of the game, and both sides had good offensive opportunities.

Lin Yue didn't call a pick-and-roll this time. After receiving the ball at the top of the arc, he observed the position of his teammates. Kobe was right in front of him, staring at him like a snake preying on his prey, but Lin Yue had no intention of playing singles at all.

After Curry slipped around, he received a pass from Lin Yue outside the 45-point line on the right.

Before Curry made a shot, Lin Yue celebrated. This time, when he slipped to the baseline, Collison deliberately set up a screen, hindering Fisher's speed of chasing and defending. This also caused Curry to successfully run out of a small open space after slipping around.

Curry returned a three-pointer to the Lakers.

Entered the attack mode at the beginning. Under Lin Yue's tandem, Curry and Durant both scored their first points in the game.

The scene began to celebrate, the Thunder never disappoints this season, even in the face of the championship team, they will not back down, playing their own demeanor.

Brooks nodded with satisfaction off the court. Lin Yue's arrival really helped the team a lot.

5 to 3, the Thunder overtook the score.

Kobe tried his best to defend, but Lin Yue didn't plan to play alone. With Durant and Curry around, he only needed to be a card dealer, standing at the top of the arc to pass the ball to his teammates, and at the same time consume the opposing defender. This matchup was beneficial to the Thunder.

No matter how strong you are, what's the use, I won't vote.

This time Kobe dribbled the ball for half court, still facing Lin Yue's defense, one step before the three-point line, Kobe shot a three-pointer directly against the defense.

Lin Yue didn't expect this shot to be so sudden. By the time he pounced, the ball had already been shot, and the interference at this time was meaningless.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the net, this time Kobe did not hit the iron, but the difficult ball can inspire his fighting spirit.

After scoring the goal, Kobe patted his chest and stared at Lin Yue, putting pressure on the opponent with his eyes.

"Maybe because I know that Lin is a fan, Kobe's expression is very serious today." Barkley said, he doesn't like Kobe very much, because in his opinion, Kobe plays very independent, or too selfish, and he doesn't like this kind of player.

This is also why Barkley has a good impression of Lin Yue, because Lin Yue has done a good job in this area. Even though he is the second place in the team and his status in the team is not high, he still focuses on the organization and sacrifices personal data.

It's hard to hate such a selfless player.

Of course, no one doubts Kobe's strength, not to mention that he just won the championship, which is the pinnacle moment of his life.

6 to 5, the two teams took the lead alternately, and the game was extremely intense.

Lin Yue passed the ball to Durant, and at the same time, the rest of the players opened up to give Durant space for singles.

Metta Shiping (Artest) is entangled in death, and his defensive ability is also outstanding. He has entered the best defensive team twice. In 2004, he won the best defensive player and entered the NBA All-Star in the same year.

The same is true of Durant, and Ci Shiping's physical fitness is also very good. If there is a physical confrontation, it will definitely be disadvantageous.

But Durant is not stupid. After he changed direction drastically, he immediately stopped his shot. Although Ci Shiping could interfere, but without confrontation, his shot movement did not deform, which was enough.

Durant, with his height and wingspan, is misplaced against anyone.

Durant scored another goal, and he felt better in any way he played.

7 to 6, the Thunder overtook again.

"KD's improvement this season is too remarkable. His mid-range is much more stable, and he can make shots even against defenses. Especially this kind of emergency stop after a breakthrough. His shooting percentage is extremely high. It seems that he made a lot of efforts during the offseason." Barkley said.

In his impression, when Durant first entered the league, he couldn't adapt to the intensity of the NBA at all. At that time, he was also thinner than Curry, and his bench press was much better than Durant.

After being confronted, Durant missed most of the shots. Don't look at the 20 points per game he averaged in his rookie season.

At that time, the Sonics were rebuilding, giving Durant a lot of possessions, step by step turning him into today's scoring killer.

This season's personal offensive ability has been greatly improved.

Next, the Thunder changed their strategy. Durant defended Kobe, and Lin Yue defended Ci Shiping. Although Lin Yue's body was incomparable to the opponent's, Durant's wingspan was definitely the best way to limit Kobe's receding.

Sure enough, this time Kobe's picturesque jumper missed again.

But Gasol grabbed the rebound and Collison didn't get stuck.

Kobe Bryant made another mid-range shot.

This time it finally hit.

The score became 8-7.

"The shooting percentages of the two teams are very high at the beginning of the game." Barkley said with emotion.

"This shows that the two teams are fully prepared and come prepared." Kenny Smith said, and Barkley nodded in agreement.

However, it is impossible to score all the time. Next, Ci Shiping successfully blocked Durant's goal. Durant was just about to pass, but the ball in his hand was copied by Ci Shiping.

The Lakers quickly launched a counterattack. Kobe rushed to the frontcourt, Ci Shiping made a long pass to find his teammates, and Kobe dunked with both hands after receiving the ball.

Now the two teams finally opened up.

Lin Yue didn't catch up behind Kobe because he complained to the referee just now that Durant's ball would be cut off because Ci Shiping pulled his clothes and made a pulling action.

But neither the referee nor the line referee noticed this hidden action, and ignored Lin Yue's words.

However, the referee who was complained was also sweating. He had received a notice from his superiors, saying that he should handle Lin Yue's ball carefully and give him some privileges if he could. It's just that the ball was fouled by Durant, so it shouldn't matter.

Stern on the sidelines had a panoramic view of Ci Shiping's small movements.

He's used to it. Every team in the NBA has more or less such people, and these have long been part of the game.

In the next two rounds, neither side scored.

When Lin Yue played for 5 minutes, the score of the two teams was also 14 to 10. The Lakers temporarily led by [-] points. The fast retreat speed of the two teams slowed down the rhythm.
