Chapter 318 Brooks' Miscalculation

As soon as Brooks saw Li Liang make a three-pointer, he felt a twitch in his heart, feeling like a pill.

From the first goal of the game today, Brooks didn't like Li Liang.

No way, this guy can make trouble.

Sure enough, Li Liang really messed up Lei Ting's battle plan in the first half, and then he was led by the nose.

During the halftime break, Brooks felt that he should focus on Kobe Bryant just to be on the safe side.

Bryant's last outburst really impressed Brooks.

Once Kobe's point is opened, it is really devastating, especially when his teammates can make his pass.

The Lakers are unstoppable at this time, unless Durant and Westbrook double burst and score 80 points.

That's it, 1 point less than the peak Kobe.

Therefore, at halftime, Brooks re-arranged the focus of defense on Kobe.

It didn't work in the first half, and it won't work in the second half. You Kobe still keep it secret, right?

Throughout the first half, Bryant made 3 of 7 shots and only scored 8 points.

Regardless of the number of shots or points, it is not Kobe at all.

I thought Kobe was going to explode in the third quarter, but Li Liang made a three-pointer, which made Brooks nervous.

On the Thunder's side, Durant took the ball from the outside and also broke through the center to tear apart the defense.

Then pass the ball to Westbrook on the wing.

Westbrook was very calm after receiving the ball, without throwing a three-pointer. After a feint, he took a step in, found a gap with the help of Perkins' cover, and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Thunder's perimeter king exploded and played quite calmly.

The Lakers played very simply. Kobe still dribbled the ball, and the Thunder players followed the coach's instructions. Just like in the first quarter, as soon as Kobe got the ball, three people surrounded him.

Kobe began to turn his back from outside the three-point line and push in, then turned around and slid in to cut in, and the Thunder immediately contracted.

As a result, there was another gap at 45 degrees, Li Liang ran to the gap, received a pass from Kobe and scored another three-pointer!

He still didn't use props, what kind of props should he use for this big space?

Brooks felt bad, this situation was wrong, he immediately called a timeout.

It must be changed, and someone must pay attention to Li Liang.

The sudden death law is well known in the league, and his three-pointer must be broken.

If Li Liang used props, it would be a bad situation. A pause of a minute or two would cause the time to run out.

But when he made two three-pointers, Li Liang didn't exert any strength at all, and it was useless to hold the props in his hands.

Li Liang's three-pointers in the first two games were good, but he didn't make four or five in a row like in the regular season.

Brooks was careless and didn't find anyone to target.

Returning to the court after the timeout, Brooks arranged for Sefolosha to replace Li Liang.

Westbrook went to guard Kobe.

As for Durant, continuing to let him stare at Ci Shiping is basically equivalent to not defending and focusing on offense.

Li Liang had learned about Sefolosha in the first match.

The Swiss defends well, with clean moves and flexible footwork. He is an important defensive gate for the Thunder outside.

But Sefolosha has a fatal flaw in facing Li Liang, that is, he is not tall enough.

Li Liang expected that Brooks would use Sefolosha to deal with him. He looked up at the time, and the third quarter was at 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

If Brooks uses Durant to deal with Li Liang, Li Liang will still be more worried because he is afraid of interference.

Since it is Sefolosha, he is not impolite.

...

The game continued, and as soon as the Thunder came back from a timeout, Westbrook made a direct jumper from the outside.

Nash tried his best to interfere with this ball, which made Westbrook's shot a little deformed.

Missed, Howard scored a backboard.

The Thunder's offense is like this. After a long timeout, returning is a dry pull.

I don't know what this pause is for.

Howard handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe continued to dribble across half court.

Kobe played very restrained tonight, took few shots, and put his main energy on defense, supporting and transferring the ball.

In the playoffs against the Thunder last year, Kobe Bryant, who was in decline, continued to play in the past, and almost single-handedly sent the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals.

Kobe's state this year is actually better than last year, but he controlled himself instead, because he felt that Bruce Lee was hot.

As soon as Kobe passed the half court, he first used Howard's cover, dribbled the ball in a snake shape and cut into the three-point line, while disrupting the Thunder's defense, while looking for opportunities to pass the ball.

He was looking for Li Liang, and he was also paying attention to Nash in the corner.

Howard went in, but Kobe was reluctant to give Howard a lob or a through ball.

Because the Thunder's inside interception ability is particularly strong, it is basically a mistake to lob the ball easily.

So far in the series, the Lakers have basically not played stewardess much, and have no chance.

Kobe wandered between the three-point line and the three-second zone for two seconds, and found that Li Liang was stared dead by Sefolosha.

So he followed the strategy and gave the ball to Nash who came over to meet him.

After receiving the ball, Nash rushed in again and circled in the three-second zone.

As a result, Perkins was afraid that Nash would pass the ball to Howard, and he ran to defend Howard, but left the basket empty?

Seeing Perkins giving this great gift, Nash turned around without hesitation and made an empty layup.

The Thunder fans were stunned, what kind of defense is this?

Brooks sat on the bench and covered his face. I called a timeout. Is this the result?

In fact, I don't blame the Thunder players. Until now, all the pre-match plans and drills have been cancelled.

How can there be no loopholes in the temporary defensive strategy, and the opponent is an old fritter like Kobe Nash.

Li Liang saw it, don't I need to take drugs anymore?

Could it be that I am the legendary strategic nuclear weapon, as long as I stand there, even if I do nothing, I can change the situation and create deterrence?

Li Liang was complacent. Durant received a pass from Westbrook from the outside and made a three-pointer, which hit the center of the basket!

In the third quarter, the Thunder scored unreasonably.

That's how they attack.

After scoring the goal, Durant glanced at Li Liang and spat out the tray in his mouth.

Seeing this, Li Liang knew that it was time for him to act.

He went to the backcourt to serve, handed the ball to Kobe, and said, "Boss, pass the ball to me!"

Without waiting for Kobe to respond, he ran towards the frontcourt.

Li Liang was the only one who could yell at Kobe to let him pass the ball.

Li Liang stood 45 degrees away from the right, and Sefolosha stuck close to him.

Even if Li Liang is two steps away from the three-point line, Sefolosha is always inseparable.

He knew that Li Liang's effective shooting range was three steps from the three-point line.

Kobe saw this, of course he didn't pass the ball.

Sefolosha was pulled apart by Li Liang, and the flanks were completely wide open.

Kobe accelerated, using Li Liang as a cover, and after reaching 45 degrees, he shook off Westbrook and easily made a jumper with an emergency stop.

"Boss, did I ask you to pass the ball to me?" Li Liang asked.

Kobe shrugged and shouted at Li Liang: "Good tactics! They've been tricked!"

What Kobe meant was that what Li Liang said just now was actually a fraud against Thunder players.

"What bullshit, the Thunder players didn't hear me at all, okay? Kobe will start looking for reasons." Li Liang shook his head and could only return to defense.

In fact, Kobe's choice just now was not wrong. He keenly observed the loopholes in the Thunder's defensive end because they were too focused on Li Liang.

Brooks clearly miscalculated.

The first point of his miscalculation is that he should not easily shake his strategy, because he was afraid of Li Liang's three-point threat, he changed the matchup and repeatedly disrupted the pre-match deployment.

This is a mistake that NBA coaches rarely make. Many coaches are called "stubborn" by fans, just because they know that once a strategy is set, even if there is a problem, they cannot be easily shaken.

Because of the confusion this brings, it will make the team mess up.

The second point of Brooks' miscalculation is that he thought of the horror of Li Liang's "sudden death method", but ignored the rich experience of the other veteran players.

Once they discover the confusion of the Thunder's defensive end, they will definitely seize the opportunity to attack.

Nash, Kobe, they have always been masters in reading defense.

In comparison, Lakers coach Mike Brown did not miscalculate.

He didn't calculate anything, so naturally there is no miscalculation.

There is no trick to win and there is a trick, which is really high.

Brooks had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue fighting.

But Li Liang was still anxious, when will Lao Tzu's props be available?
