Pause time, Thunder bench.

Su Yang looked up at the timer and found that there was 1 minute and 47 seconds left in the first quarter. The Lakers only requested a short 20-second pause. After thinking for a moment, he said to Durant and others: "In accordance with Phil Jackson's style, the Lakers' lineup will not change. They will emphasize more on hitting the ball to prevent us from pushing it quickly. They are slow and their attention is distracted..."

In Su Yang's opinion, the Lakers' playing style is fine, they just didn't score, especially Kobe didn't score.

The real problem of the Lakers is that they retreat too slowly and are too chaotic, and they are greatly underestimating the ferocity of the young people such as the Thunder.

"Tyson, you're on the court to replace DeAndre, focusing on interfering with Paul Gasol's catch and pass..."

"Wesley, you are responsible for the main defense of Kobe. Others pay attention to assisting defense, cut off the pass route, and try to force him to shoot forcibly. Even if he shoots, it doesn't matter. Our goal is to control the rhythm of the game and let them seek a breakthrough..."

After a few words, the sound of the whistle that ended the brief pause sounded, and the players of the two teams returned to the field.

The Lakers' lineup is like Su Yang's prediction and has not changed. On the Thunder, Chandler replaced Jordan Jr. and Matthews replaced Westbrook.

Su Yang specially sent the Thunder to attack the strongest lineup, intending to expand the lead, which made the Lakers busy.

Beep! The referee blew a whistle and the Lakers kicked off at the bottom line of the backcourt.

"LetsGo    LA!" Crying out loud in the center of Staples. Lakers fans at the scene have found that things are not simple. It seems that the Thunder and the youth teams seem to be able to pose a threat to the championship Lakers and even defeat the Lakers.

Amid the shouts, Brown dribbled the ball across the center line, passed it to Odom on the left, and then ran to the right.

Odom held up his hands when he received the ball, his eyes straight at the left waist position, clearly trying to pass Kobe.

Seeing this, Matthews raised his hand to interfere. Kobe suddenly turned around and rushed towards the basket, giving up his back and seeking a sneak attack.

Odom immediately passed the hanging to the paint area, with a fast speed and a correct position, which invisibly reflected why he was called the left-handed magician.

Kobe easily received the pass and was about to take the layup as he took the opportunity, but he found that Chandler contracted the frame protection.

In a hurry, Kobe rose up towards Chandler and raised the basketball high to smash it into the basket, like a god of war.

Chandler also jumped up and did not try to block the shot, but instead stood side by side with his arms, trying his best to block the space.

When! The basketball hits the basket and rebounds and flies backwards.

Matthews, who followed Kobe, jumped up and grabbed the ball, landed and scanned the half, raised his hand to cross the center line.

The basketball flew over Odom's head, and Green took the ball from the middle line and turned around and rushed straight to the frontcourt basket.

Only Brown chased after the Lakers alone and rushed towards Green with a look of death.

Seeing that situation, Su Yang recalled the cruel scene of Brown catching Mario West and subconsciously reminded him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Green stopped in the paint area and passed the ball on the left sideline. Harden received the ball in a large open space.

A booed instantly in the center of Staples, Harden calmly put the ball together and raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

Dong! The basketball is hollow into the net, 43 to 26.

"Very good, keep going." Su Yang clapped his hands and waved his hand to remind Harden and Green to retreat.

The Lakers cheered again in the stadium, and Lakers fans have completely realized how fierce the Thunder is.

Brown ran across the midline by dribbling the ball and handed it to Odom as usual, and the goal was still to pass it to Kobe, who was on the left waist.

Matthews did not go around, but instead took the initiative to change his defensive strategy according to Su Yang's arrangement, making it difficult for Kobe to adapt quickly.

Experts in defense against offense must do this. The fixed routine will be cracked soon and may be used in reverse.

Amid the shouts, Kobe bent down to catch the ball, turned around and faced the frame, swung his arms wide, and pulled down and swept across.

That is the small forward's style of playing. Any left and right foot may lead to insufficient time to adjust the center of gravity, so Matthews chose to retreat.

Kobe immediately pulled up and made a jump shot, but Matthews jumped almost at the same time and rushed straight to the basketball with his right hand.

Perhaps it was because of a knee injury, or perhaps because of the age of age, the explosive power was not as good as before. Kobe didn't seem to have expected Matthews to pounce so quickly, and in a hurry, he had to temporarily adjust the shooting position. The basketball flew out with a very high angle and slightly tilted.

When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.

Chandler jumped, grabbed the rebound steadily, landed and turned around and passed Harden, and launched a counterattack.

"Return to defense, return to defense..." Lakers assistant coach Brian Xiao also became anxious and shouted loudly at Brown and others.

The players of the two teams rushed to the front court, and the Lakers took the lead in completing the position, and the Thunder's fast attack was blocked and the formation was changed.

Su Yang spoke out to remind him to continue playing around Green and called Trade     Screen (switch cover) tactics. The tactics were designed specifically for the Harden Green combination. Jordan Jr. was originally responsible for the cooperation, so Chandler would only be better.

Durant and Matthews hurriedly moved to the right wing and right bottom corners, leaving room and establishing a three-point threat.

Harden dribbled the ball to the team's position and directly tried to cooperate with Green, who had already landed at the top of the arc.

Odom hurriedly moved his foot to prepare for delay, but Green turned around and ran to the left, crossing the cover with Chandler without the ball.

In the blink of an eye, Chandler rushed to the top of the arc, but Brown did not expect that the cover would be removed and another cover came.

The Lakers reminded him that before Brown could react, Chandler had already set up a wall of people.

Harden took the opportunity to start and rush, Brown was unable to squeeze through the cover to chase, and Arte did not dare to let Durant go to assist in defense.

Gasol moved sideways in advance to try to intercept, but unfortunately the team's position was too far from the basket and was thrown away in two steps.

Amid the booing, Odom contracted from the short corner on the left, posing a great threat to Harden.

But Harden didn't even look at the basket, so he raised his hand and threw the ball to Green, who was unguarded. Several fans on the sidelines were so anxious that they shouted.

Odom rushed up desperately, with the defensive center of gravity and the steps to be broken, and he forgot everything.

But just like that, I still didn't have time to stop Green from taking a three-pointer, but the basketball slammed the iron.

Cheers suddenly burst into joy in the stadium, who would have thought that Chandler would run and jump and buckle with his hands.

The basketball fryed into the net, and the Thunder led 45 to 26, and the cheers came to an abrupt end, Gasol stood there in a daze.

Kobe was so angry that his nostrils widened and his teeth shook his head, pointing at Ate and shouting to serve quickly, and the Lakers immediately launched a fast attack.

Matthews did not dare to relax at all, and followed him to the left wing of the frontcourt, sat sideways and retreated one after another.

In just one second, the two fell into the left waist position. Kobe suddenly turned around and pulled the ball, and he leaned back and shot in a mid-range shot with a very difficult difficulty.

Bang bang bang! The basketball rebounded twice and it turned out to a basket, and a sigh echoed in the center of Staples.

Chandler caught the rebound, landed and left it to Harden, and the Thunder launched a counterattack again.

Lakers fans shouted in unison to defend, and Su Yang signaled that they could exchange screening tactics again, which happened that Gasol was in poor form.

Harden slowly dribbled the ball to the team sign, Green went to the wall to cover as usual, and Odom immediately grabbed the double team.

The double team came a little suddenly, and Harden was in the team's position again, and it was difficult to pull the ball and retreat and avoid it.

In the flash of lightning, Su Yang shouted a reminder to the field, and Matthews quickly retreated to the center line to respond.

Kobe followed closely and pressed without any scruples. Matthews quickly passed Durant who was raised from the bottom corner.

Arte also pressed without any scruples, and the referee did not plead for consecutive fouls, but Durant passed the ball straight to the basket.

Green sneaked to the basket, easily caught the ball and scored with a jump, while Odom just started catching up from the sideline.

47-26, the Thunder played a 22-1 attack wave, making the Lakers look like a CBA team.

ESPN commentator, Van Gundy chuckled and shook his head: "I imagined many possibilities, but I didn't expect the Thunder to lead 21 points in the first quarter..."

Jackson nodded slightly: "I once thought that the Lakers would slowly tie or even overtake the score..."

Bolling smiled: "In NBA history, the championship team lost at most on ring night..."

The live broadcast footage was given to the benches of the two teams. Phil Jackson on the Lakers became a little calmer, as if he accepted the results in front of him. On the Thunder, Su Yang sat down for the first time after the opening, took the mineral water and took a sip.

The first quarter game was over in a blink of an eye, and with Kobe's bold breakthrough dunk, the Lakers were only 19 points away.

But after the second quarter started, the two teams competed for several rounds, and the Thunder once again expanded their lead.

The two teams went back and forth, and the Thunder finally defeated the Lakers 120-106 and won their first victory in the season.

In the whole game, six players from the Thunder team scored in double digits, while Kobe scored 40 points in an empty score.
Chapter completed!
