NBA: Come off the bench to save the national team

The first quarter of the game is over.

24：31。

The overall strength of the Thunder team is still a little worse, and it is led by the Lakers by 7 points.

Qin Feng shot only 4 of 6, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 0 of 1 free throw, and recorded 10 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in this quarter.

Kobe Bryant shot 3-of-4, 1-of-3 from three-pointers, 3-of-3 from the free throw line, and also recorded 10 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

The performance of the two stars is comparable.

The game entered the second quarter.

Both sides are a mix of substitutes and workhorses.

But obviously the Lakers' bench strength and playoff experience are better, forcing the Thunder to make mistakes in a row, and playing a wave of 5-0 offensive climax.

Seeing this, Brooks directly called a pause, rearranged the tactics, and replaced it with Qin Feng.

Since there is a gap in the strength of the rest of the players, it can only be made up for by increasing Qin Feng's playing time.

As soon as he debuted, Qin Feng hit two consecutive three-pointers and quickly stopped the bleeding for the team.

The Lakers decisively opened the bag tactic, as long as Qin Feng took the ball, he would pinch it.

With the passing ability of the [Magic Johnson Magic Pass] level, Qin Feng is naturally not afraid of the opponent's bag.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he passed the basketball into Batum's hands.

The latter is an open jumper with a three-pointer.

Swish!

Basketball hollows into the net.

The Thunder's current lineup on the court is Jeff Green, Batum, Redick, Lowry, and Qin Feng.

Complete small lineup.

At the same time, all five people on the court have the ability to shoot three-pointers, which greatly opens up the space on the court.

Brooks made such a lineup arrangement in order to prevent the Lakers from wrapping Qin Feng.

After a few more rounds, the Thunder were all on the outside shooting frantically on three-pointers.

Although the shooting percentage is not high, a single throw can help the Thunder quickly increase the score.

In less than four minutes, the Thunder chased the gap to just three points.

Phil called a timeout in time and replaced the main lineup such as Kobe Bryant and Gasol.

Although the Thunder played a small lineup, the Lakers insisted on using a large lineup, with Gasol and Bynum on the floor at the same time to enhance their advantage in the box and protect rebounds.

However, Qin Feng suddenly broke out, ran to the box to grab rebounds in a row, played a quick offensive and defensive conversion, and assisted his teammates to hit two consecutive three-pointers again, directly overtaking the point difference.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

In several encounters in the regular season, Qin Feng has not shown such a strong ability to grab rebounds, so the Lakers can easily control the rebounds on the Twin Towers lineup.

This makes the Thunder's five small lineups unable to play defensive counterattacks, and it is difficult to raise the advantage of speed.

But now there is Qin Feng, the rebounding monster, which actually limits the play of the twin towers and activates the five small lineups of the Thunder team.

The Lakers have practiced five small lineups before, but the Lakers don't have that many three-point shooters and can't open up space.

So the five small lineups were abandoned by Phil.

Now how do you limit the Thunder's five-small lineup?

Phil fell into deep thought.

In the end, he used the strongest lineup of the Lakers, with Gasol as the center, and promoted the replacement Odom to the position of power forward, and then paired with Ariza, Kobe and Fisher.

Although Gasol is slightly slower, this lineup can play a huge role on the offensive end and the defensive end of positional warfare.

Soon.

This lineup contained the Thunder's five small lineups and began to fight back to score.

Brooks saw the move and replaced Chandler, a center, to share the ability to grab rebounds.

Once again, the two sides are in a state of anxiety.

Half game is over.

54：59。

The Thunder are still five points behind.

"Although the first half of the game lacked the individual performance of the superstar, Kobe and Qin Feng still contributed great data and played the role of the stars."

"The best thing was the two coaches pitting against each other, and I was surprised that Brooks was able to match Phil in terms of tactical set-up."

Live commentator Mike Brin shook his head and said, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.

"It's not surprising, after all, the Thunder team has Qin Feng, a tactical genius, which is equivalent to Brooks having a super military master."

"You must know that the tactics and playing methods such as the five small lineups and elevator doors were created by Qin Feng."

Barkley said, also in an incredulous tone.

"Although Kobe and Qin Feng restrained their play, the two teams still gave us a wonderful game of high-intensity confrontation, and I thought that in the second half of the game, Kobe and Qin Feng would try to take over the game."

Mike Brin said, with some anticipation.

"Yes, in the first game of the Western Final, it seems that the two superstars are testing each other and adapting to each other's series."

"Now that we have a complete understanding of the opponent's path, that should increase the individual attack."

Barkley also said that expectations for this game were put into the second half.

Soon.

The second half begins.

The Lakers took the lead on offense.

After Bryant dribbled through the half, he changed direction continuously, broke through from the right and then stopped sharply and then jumped.

This is one of his signature stunts.

No one in the alliance could prevent it.

Qin Feng is also difficult to limit Kobe's back-up jumper of this magnitude.

The basketball crosses a high arc.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The Thunder attacked.

After Qin Feng held the ball for half court, he used an offensive three-threat to break through and retreat outside the three-point line, raising his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Swish.

The same hollow into the net.

The Lakers attacked.

Bryant dribbled to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and before all his teammates were in position, he shot a chasing three-pointer with great confidence.

Swish.

Keep hitting.

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene.

Seeing Koru's fierce offensive, all fans knew that this was about to enter the "Kobe moment".

Qin Feng did not show weakness, and once again used the [Iverson Breakthrough Change Direction] skill, although it did not completely throw off Kobe's defense, but it was enough to open up the shooting space.

Emergency stop mid-range jumper.

Swish!

Hit steadily.

After landing, Qin Feng and Kobe Bryant glanced at each other, and both saw a strong desire to attack from each other's eyes.

"Oh? As soon as the second half began, Kobe and Qin Feng began to compete against each other?

"It seems that the two suppressed their desire to attack in the first half, and finally released the game completely in the third quarter."

Barkley said with some excitement that this is what he wants to see in this series.

"The two most offensive players in the NBA arena are not too exciting."

"Kobe's scoring ability goes without saying, and 81 points per game is already the best proof."

"Qin Feng, as this year's rookie, also showed unparalleled offensive talent, cutting 50 points, 60 points, and even 70 points in a row throughout the season! The ability to continuously cut points is a notch stronger than Kobe.

Mike Brin said, excited.

On the pitch.

Qin Feng and Kobe Bryant were completely caught in attack mode.

Fans who watched all kinds of wonderful goals and scores were so overwhelmed that they didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing any wonderful shots.

The intense scoring continued into the second half of the third quarter.

In the end, Kobe Bryant took the lead in physical decline and began to shoot without scoring continuously.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, was still energetic and could not see the slightest trace of exhaustion.

In this case, the Thunder quickly overtook the scoreline.

Kobe also woke up in time and did not continue to be obsessed with individual attacks, but began to pass the ball and give the ball to Odom, Gasol and others to attack.

This barely prevented the team's rout.

The third quarter is over.

The Thunder pushed the margin by six points.

Qin Feng shot 10 of 14, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 1 of 3 free throws in a single quarter, and recorded 26 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

At this point, Qin Feng once again achieved triple-double data.

And Kobe's data in the third quarter is not too much!
