(It's still a few hundred words short of writing, send it first)

As Snart said, the two sides locked each other and squirted about trash talks completely ignited the atmosphere of the game.

The Thunder's emphasis on the game has increased by three levels, but unlike the Lakers, there are almost no complicated tactics. Each time they pass the ball a few times in the half, they will play singles. At most, they can use screens to misplace singles, all relying on Westbrook's three-man strong talent.

On the defensive end, Westbrook took the lead in defending Li Zhe, Harden, Ibaka and Livingston to assist in defense one after another, and forced Li Zhe to pass the ball to other players in an organized and planned manner, greatly delaying the Lakers' efficiency in attacking the basket.

Even if he played without the ball, Li Zhe was given special attention throughout the whole process. The Thunder would let go if he could. Fortunately, in this way, Shakur and Morrison and others became more efficient in scoring, and the difference between the two teams had not changed for a long time.

But after Li Zhe came off the court according to the rotation routine and the Thunder promoted the methods he used to him, Shakur and Morrison's scoring efficiency dropped significantly, and the Lakers' offense was no longer smooth.

The Thunder took the opportunity to narrow the gap and overtake. After Li Zhe made a comeback, he led the team to chase after him.

After this cycle, the game quickly reached its first timeout in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers were 9 points behind.

…

The whistle sounded at the scene, and Li Zhe, who was sitting off the court, walked quickly to the technical table and slapped his teammates one by one to greet them.

After Chaggie Brown arranged the tactics and adjusted the lineup, he summoned his teammates to speak together.

"We are lagging behind now, but there are still six minutes left in the game. We have enough time to complete the overtake. We have done it against the Warriors before, and we can do it now. Everyone concentrates and maintains their fighting spirit. Let's win this game together."

After saying that, Li Zhe shouted a slogan and cheered up, and all his teammates agreed in unison.

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, and the game between the two teams continued, scoring 62-71.

The Lakers attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball in the middle, and just crossed the center line, but encountered early delays from Westbrook.

Seeing this, Eronu stepped forward to cover his back. Li Zhe took the opportunity to get rid of Westbrook and then passed White with another sway. Just as he was about to speed up and rush to the inside, Livingston came up again to block it, and Morrison was completely empty.

Li Zhe passed the ball decisively, then accelerated to the inside, wanting to make a pass and cut cooperation.

Then he thought that Livingston had gone all the way to the dark, and had no intention of returning to defense, and rushed into the inside line with him.

Seeing that there was no hope of passing, Morrison made a move.

When I shot, Ibaka jumped high and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned around and swung his arms for a long pass.

Westbrook received the ball in the middle and pushed forward with the trend, rushing towards the front court like a bullet out of the bolt. At this time, Li Zhe was still in the three-second zone, and Shakur was blocked by Harden immediately, and the Lakers defended zero.

With a clang, Westbrook scored with one arm, and the two teams scored 62-73.

In the commentary seat, Snart said: "The Thunder adopts gambling defense. It is too difficult for the Lakers to quickly hit the basket. Now they must hit the shot, otherwise what is waiting for them will inevitably be a quick counterattack. The gap between the points is getting bigger and bigger, and the game enters garbage time."

Fry nodded slightly, "It's probably that..."

…

On the court, Li Zhe dribbled the ball and pushed forward, and the fans on the scene shouted singles.

Just after crossing the middle line, Westbrook smiled and met. Harden and Livingston were waiting left and right, without any concealing their intention to double-team.

Seeing this, Li Zhe waved to the inside two, Eronu and Baines understood and hurried to the three-point line to stand around the three-point line.

When the two men finished their positions, Li Zhe immediately pulled the ball and changed direction, dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and used Eronu to cover the ball to Baines, then accelerated and rushed into the three-point line, and received the return pass to attack the basket.

The Lakers have used this method of breaking delays before. The Thunder is familiar with the way of defending. Ibaka goes to the basket in advance to shrink and block it, White replaces Baynes, Westbrook replaces Erronu, and cuts off the return route.

The situation instantly turned into Li Zhe's single-handed challenge to Ibaka. He showed no sign of slowing down. He rushed to the low post on the right, suddenly stopped urgently and turned around and raised his hand. Ibaka jumped up and blocked the block, but he forced himself to stop, leaned forward and avoided it, then took the high and low steps and stepped into the basket. Facing the unguarded basket, he easily picked the basket and played the board.

The basketball rebounded into the net, 64 to 73, and the fans on the scene shouted ‘18’.

"What are they shouting?" Fry asked curiously.

"Uh..." Snart was concentrating for a while, "Maybe it is related to a certain brand's marketing activity. They said that as long as Jamie Lee gets 30 points, his products will have discount activities that last one day..."

"Oh... Jamie Lee scored 12 points and 17 assists, with more than 6 minutes left in the game, which is quite difficult..." Fry said with a smile.

Snate shrugged slightly, not saying anything.

With the Thunder attack, Westbrook quickly brought it to the frontcourt and relied on Harden to cover against Shakur on the left wing.

The height difference between the two was very small. After several consecutive fast shots, Westbrook suddenly pulled out his hand.

With a sound of noise, the shot hit and Eronu got the rebound.

It is rare to have a quick counterattack opportunity. Li Zhe received the ball and rushed wildly. Except for Westbrook and Harden, everyone else could only eat exhaust gas.

The three of them blinked and came to the front three-point line. Facing the left and right siege, Li Zhe not only showed no sign of slowing down, but instead became faster and faster. He rushed into the free throw line and suddenly closed the ball and jumped, leaving Westbrook and the other two left.

"Free shot line..." Snart's word "dunk" has not been expressed yet, and Li Zhe picked the basket and hit the board.

"Don't make fun of..." Fry breathed a sigh of relief, "But to be honest, I thought it was a slam dunk..."

66 to 73, the fans stood up and cheered, shouting ‘16’ in unison.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, slowed down and controlled the ball to wait.

On the left, Livingston and Harden crossed without the ball to cover, facing Shakur at the low post.

The height difference between the two was nearly 10 cm, which was definitely a big misalignment, and Westbrook decisively passed the ball.

Livingston played well with a jump shot with one hand, allowing him to misplace the singles is almost equivalent to getting points. When Li Zhe thought of this, he slipped forward without hesitation and tried to slid forward and deliberately let Westbrook go.

As expected, the basketball flew back to the top of the arc, Westbrook didn't think much and raised his hand and shot.

When! Shooting and Baynes got the rebound.

Li Zhe stepped forward and took it into his hand, quickly pushed it across the center line, and Westbrook came up with an upset look on his face.

Still covering the high position with passes and cuts, Li Zhe received the back pass and rushed to the low post, continuing to fight Ibaka alone. He suddenly stopped and turned around and raised his hand. Ibaka didn't jump to block the block immediately, but Li Zhe pulled up and still leaned back and shot in the middle.

Ibaka jumped quickly, but even though he was tall and his arms were long, it was still too late.

The basketball was rubbed into the net, 68 to 73, and the fans at the scene stood up and shouted ‘14’.

On the sidelines, Thunder head coach Stroco Brooks raised his right hand and put it down. He hesitated for a while and did not shout a timeout.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, used the cover to hit the free throw line, and took two big steps in a row. He forced himself to jump and layup against Eronu, who was changing defense, and he felt a fierce spirit of either you die or I die.

Erou Nu followed suit and closed the cover, and with a snap, he slapped Westbrook's wrist.

But the basketball still bounced back into the net while the referee whistle sounded, 21!

"The expressions on the Lakers players' faces are so wonderful, and the light of hope that just appeared has dimmed again..." Snart smiled.

"Not necessarily. Russell's lucky score this time is a further prover that he lacks confidence in shooting. The Lakers can adjust their defensive strategy to target..." Fry said.

After the words came to an end, Westbrook made a penalty, 68 to 76.

…

The Lakers attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball across the center line, Westbrook was delayed for the Nth time.

Without waiting for Li Zhe to wave, Eronu and Baines mentioned the three-point line, one for cover and the other for receiving the ball.

Li Zhe passed the ball with the opportunity and was about to rush to the three-point line to receive the pass, but White suddenly turned around and rushed towards Baynes with his hands high to block it, Ibaka with his hands high to intercept it, and Westbrook even ran to the middle to cut off the pass route.

The incident happened suddenly, and the three of them were about to break out. Baynes was a little panicked. Eronu quickly walked around him and clapped his hands to remind him to pass too much, but Li Zhe continued to rush into the inside and shouted to pass the ball.

One is the teammate who can give it to the front 100% of the teammate, and the other is the teammate who is completely unaware of the position behind him. In this obvious choice, Baynes gently threw the ball back.

"This..." Snart was as confused as all the fans of the audience.

But before they could ask questions, Li Zhe jumped high under the left basket, pushed lightly, and the basketball rebounded into the net.

"Ha...it's still an aerial layup. It seems that Baynes unconditionally believes Jamie Lee is right." Fry laughed.

The fans at the scene applauded and cheered when they saw this, and even forgot to shout "12".

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook rushed to the top of the arc, and White stepped forward to build a wall of people.

Eronu suffered a loss before, but this time he directly narrowed to the free throw line and couldn't come out. Westbrook took two steps to the elbow area and pulled the mid-range shot.

Bang bang bang! The basketball bang bang bang back and forth in a circle, and finally came out of the frame.

Baines blocked Ibaka, Eronu successfully got the rebound, and Li Zhe received the ball and advanced.

Crossing the center line, he was about to use cover to pass the ball, but Westbrook did not come up and delay.

Seeing that the defensive strategy had changed, Li Zhe raised his right hand and made tactical gestures. When all his teammates landed, he immediately passed the ball to Erou at the top of the arc, and then rushed to the right wing to use Shakur to cover it to get rid of Westbrook.

Harden replaced defense, Li Zhe used Morrison to get rid of it, led Livingston to run to the basket, then used Baynes to get rid of it, and led Ibaka to the short corner on the left along the bottom line, received Eronu's return pass, and took three threatening postures.

At this time, the other Thunder players were in the right half, and the situation turned into a one-on-one challenge for two people.

There were 10 seconds left in the offensive time, which was quite sufficient. Li Zhe protected the ball at his waist with both hands and waited.

"What move will he use this time?" Snart asked.

"I guess it's an emergency stop and mid-range shot. The shorter the time, the easier it is to take the first step..."

Before Fry finished speaking, Li Zhe suddenly bent his knees and raised his hand, and Ibaka immediately jumped to block the block.

Then I thought that this was just a feint test, and Ibaka quickly retracted his right hand.

But it was too late, and Li Zhe jumped up to him and took action.

The rebound rebounded into the net, and the referee whistle sounded, 21!

"It's also a problem to jump too much..." Snart smiled.

"Not bad, he blocked so many times in the first quarter, but ordinary players are not good." Fry said.
