Phil knew very well that the key to winning this game was to strangle Durant to death.

If Durant is allowed to continue to play so freely, the game is likely to be his solo performance show.

Although the Lakers have three superstars, they can score through their personal abilities at critical moments.

But if Durant continues to improve his performance and enters another level, the result of the game is really hard to say.

It was like the night when Kobe scored 81 points, and the game when Jiang Chen scored 101 points, their condition improved to an unimaginable state, and no matter how they defended, they could not be defended.

Durant now has this trend.

His performance in this game was really great.

Therefore, the team's strongest defensive combat power must be sent to guard Durant.

This array change is indeed effective.

After Durant's performance was limited, the entire Thunder seemed to have lost its backbone and its performance efficiency began to decline.

The Lakers took the opportunity to play a small offensive climax and expanded their lead to more than double digits again.

The half-time game ends.

55:69.

The Lakers scored a 14-point lead.

The game seems to be without suspense.

The long halftime break ends.

The second half begins.

Curry suddenly broke out and shot two three-pointers from outside the three-point line, directly widening the gap to 20 points.

The fans cheered wildly.

The live commentator shook his head helplessly, saying that Curry's three-pointer was too outrageous. Will this game be about to enter garbage time soon?

On the court, the Thunder players also showed frustration.ωωw..net

The confidence in this game is gradually losing.

Only one player was still firm in his face and murderous intent in his eyes.

That is Kevin Durant, the Thunder star.

Obviously, he doesn't want to give up on this game.

Thunders offensive round.

Durant no longer chose to pass the ball, but faced Jiang Chen's defense and forced a three-pointer.

Jiang Chen rushed up high.

The basketball almost slid along his fingertips.

After flying over a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The Thunder players immediately cheered.

But Durant turned around and returned to defense without expression.

He knew very well that this three-pointer would not change the situation in the game. What he had to do was narrow the gap or even reverse it.

Lakers offense.

Curry, who was in a hot touch, ran out of the open again. After receiving Jiang Chen's pass, he raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket and failed to hit this time.

After Ibaka grabbed the rebound, she immediately passed the basketball to Durant, who dribbled the ball quickly and passed the half. At the same time, she was still observing the defense. She saw Jiang Chen following him tightly. Instead of taking a rash move, she passed the basketball to Reggie Jackson who was rushing over.

Then Durant quickly pulled outside the three-point line.

Reggie Jackson also had a close relationship with Durant, and after breaking through to the penalty area, he passed the basketball out.

After Durant received the basketball, he shot another three-pointer.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net!!

He hit two consecutive three-pointers.

The score difference narrowed to 14 points again.

The fans at the scene also burst into screams, and they all talked about how powerful Durant was!

Lakers offense.

Jiang Chen broke through to the penalty area and was double-teamed by three points, so he passed the basketball out.

After receiving the basketball, Antetokounmpo was directly empty, but he had no choice but to shoot a mid-range shot.

Bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

no way.

Antetokounmpo at this stage really doesn’t have the ability to shoot!

Even if he becomes a superstar in the future, his shooting ability has been criticized.

Especially in key games, it is easy to be targeted, and Antetokounmpo's psychological problems will also have problems, and his confidence in his shooting is obviously not that strong.

This has allowed him to often perform poorly in shooting in key games.

In fact, it is difficult for flawed superstars to lead the team to win the championship.

In Jiang Chen's previous life, if Antetokounmpo had not been on the stage against the Nets, Irving would have not won the championship that year.

In the two seasons after winning the championship, the Bucks have been able to play very outstanding regular season records every year, but they seem to be somewhat lacking in the playoffs, mainly because the star Antetokounmpo has great offensive flaws and is easily targeted.

Get back to the point.

After the basketball bounced back, Durant rushed out and grabbed the rebound, dribbling the ball again and quickly got off.

All he has to do is disrupt the Lakers' defensive rhythm.

Because if you really fall into positional battles, the Thunder's offense will be as difficult as constipation. After all, the Lakers' defensive efficiency ranks among the top three in the league, and their individual defense ability is also extremely strong.

After halftime, Durant did not pass the ball, but rushed to the penalty area to make a layup.

If he shoots from the outside, he is still afraid of being disturbed by Jiang Chen, but after entering the penalty area, he has a higher sense of offense and has a chance to cause damage.

Durant jumped high and made a layup.

Jiang Chen rushed over and slapped towards the basketball, but Durant drifted in the air, which made Jiang Chen unable to find a good position and slapped Durant in the hand.

The basketball flew out because of this.

beep.

The referee whistle sounded.

Jiang Chen was sentenced to a foul.

Durant walked onto the free throw line and completed two free throws.

Swish.

A steady hit.

For a historical shooter like Durant, sending him to the free throw line is equivalent to giving away points in vain.

The difference narrowed to 12 points.

In just over two minutes, Durant scored an 8:0 offensive climax.

even so.

Phil didn't mean to call a pause either.

He prefers to let the players adjust themselves, and the team is still 12 points ahead, so he is not in a hurry to call for a timeout.

Lakers offense.

Jiang Chen ran to the top of the arc and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Now that his teammates are in average offensive state, he must stop and score, otherwise Durant may narrow the gap to single digits in the next round.

This is not a good signal.
