The score is forced to close the chapter's high-speed update, with the updated word count of 3637

The Lakers' momentum suddenly rose, and they were halfway behind. They finally took the lead once, but in the fourth quarter, they were the lead. All Lakers players, whether on the court or off the court, seemed to have changed someone in an instant, with their spirits full and unwavering will.

Sometimes the situation on the field is like this, changing rapidly, and the lead may become a backward at any time. The side that is behind may become a leader, and the one that is leading may not necessarily take the initiative. Sometimes the side that is behind may be more imposing and looks more like the side that is about to win. This is the case now.

Among the six points of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant alone accounted for two-thirds. From this point, it can be seen that tactics will not reduce his score, just as the Supersonics' tactics will not reduce Stephen's score, because tactics are for them.

While the Lakers were determined to score, the reason why the Supersonics failed to score was because they lacked a core character. Stephen was out of the field, and Russell Westbrook played for him. It has to be said that this was a stupid move. Russell Westbrook was tall and powerful, and he was proactive in defense. However, this refers to when he was in the position of point guard, he was a little lacking in his strength in the shooting guard. More importantly, in the position of shooting guard, Kobe Bryant was second only to Stephen, who was good at playing back and forth.

His back is not as powerful as Stephen, but he will flexibly use his physical advantages. If you forcefully carry him with strength, he can turn to your side with just one twist. When you leave the rest of your energy to prevent his other movements, he will use his strength to push it, then approach the basket and score points.

This is how the four points he scored. If Russell Westbrook hadn't seen the opportunity, he would have almost committed a foul. After the Supersonics lost Stephen, although Kevin Durant and Yao Ming both returned to the court, they could not connect together and could only fight on their own, which also gave the Lakers the opportunity to defeat each other.

Trevor Ariza's defense seems to have a very poor effect. He is often squeezed by Stephen and can't keep up with Stephen's footsteps at all. However, after facing Kevin Durant, you can see his defensive skills. His defensive style does not focus on close-fitting, because he is very clear about his physical control ability and is too close to him. The opponent can easily deceive himself, and then either get rid of his own defense or cheat himself into fouls. Therefore, Trevor Ariza's defense is very careful, basically in a state of being in a close and distant state, that is, he can prevent you from taking action and breaking through.

But when facing Kevin Durant, he boldly put it on, because he knew that Kevin Durant's move was very fast and the space required was very small, so he changed his defense method and put it on, and it was a very oppressive stick. Kevin Durant had to retreat if he wanted to take action, forcing him to stay away from the basket as much as possible, and he could only use the tilt back when taking action.

Although Kevin Durant has been strengthening training for two seasons, he still loses to Trevo Ariza in terms of strength. This does not mean that his absolute power is less than Trevo Ariza, but in terms of the use of strength, he is not as good as Trevo Ariza. After all, he relies on this, but he relies on shooting.

In the defense of Yao Ming, the Lakers adopted two double-teams, with Lamar Odom going around in front to prevent Yao Ming from approaching, and Paul Gasol was waiting behind to block the block. They did not compete with Yao Ming for strength, but they prevented Yao Ming from getting the ball. Once Yao Ming got the ball and found that it could not be stopped, Lamar Odom would foul in advance. Anyway, there was no need for free throws at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

However, when Stephen was not present, it was difficult for Yao Ming to receive the ball because no one except Stephen would pass the ball so proactively. Sometimes it was not that he did not have the awareness or technology, but that he lacked the initiative. Anyway, we were also fighting according to tactics, and we were just not going to that side.

At this time, all the fans looked at Stephen, who was sitting there drinking Gatorade, hoping that he could return to the court as soon as possible and lead the team to win this game. After all, this is the Battle of Kings Mountain. Stephen would play the whole game in the previous games. There is no reason such an important game requires rest.

Stephen wants to say that he needs rest, but he does need rest. His role on the court is not single. In offense, he needs to play the role of the organizer, to adjust the team's offense, and sometimes he needs to act as an attacker. Even if he does not participate in the offensive round, he has to keep an eye on his teammates in case they make mistakes or make mistakes. In defense, he not only needs to defend a super scorer like Kobe Bryant, but also takes into account other players and fills up his teammates.

It can be said that whether it is offense or defense, he acts as a half-person use. His physical strength, strength, and attention will be consumed sharply, not to mention that he is the only player on the team who has never rested. Even the Iron Man will feel unbearable. Not only is his physical fatigue, but his heart also tired. Although he is drinking water now, his eyes are looking at the court. In fact, at this moment, he has entered an ethereal state in the spirit of jing and has not considered anything. This is the best way to recover from the spirit of jing and his body is also relaxing moderately. This is just extremely relaxed, because only a short time to rest. If you relax too much, when you return to the court, your muscles will not be able to maintain enough tension.

So Stephen didn't see anything that happened on the court, and he didn't know that the Lakers took the initiative in offense and brought the score closer. He felt that with the Lakers' state in front, coupled with the appearance of Yao Ming and Kevin Durant, even if the team could not expand its lead, at least the problem of maintaining the current score difference should not be big. However, he did not expect that with his sudden end, the team's offense suddenly fell into a chaotic situation.

At this time, it would be better if Caresimo replaced Earl Watson. Although Earl Watson's offense and defense seem to be less than Jarret Jack, he is much better at the team's organization, especially the main lineup, than Jarret Jack, not to mention that the team's organization is not in Jarret Jack's hands, but in Russell Westbrook's hands.

He only saw the advantages and strengths of Russell Westbrook or Jarret Jack, but only saw the shortcomings and weaknesses of Earl Watson. He felt that the team's offense was now a problem. Yao Ming and Kevin Durant were both restricted by the opponent, but instead relied more on the attacks of Russell Westbrook and Jarret Jack, giving them full and bold instructions to fully play their own instructions. As a result, the two of them were like wild horses that were rid of the reins, regardless of the situation of other teammates, and kept breaking through and breaking through again.

Because Russell Westbrook does not have long shots, and Jarret Jack is only more reliable in mid-range shots. The Lakers have long studied the offensive characteristics of these two people. As long as the defensive players oppress them, they can only break through in one direction. Then Lamar Odom, the inside, came out and they either made mistakes or made panic moves, and their shooting percentage would naturally not be ideal.

Of course, this is because the Lakers have a Lamar Odom, who is tall, wingspan and weight, but his feet are very flexible and his prediction awareness is first-class. It can be said that Lamar Odom, who is fully focused, has at least 80% of the skills of Kevin Garnett, who is best at this kind of defense.

Russell Westbrook and Jarret Jack are both players who basically won't close the attack when the offensive switch is turned on. Although they can score points occasionally, they messed up the team's offense. At this time, Calesimo seemed to show his calmness in the face of danger. No matter what, they would not substitute people. After Stephen came to his senses, he suddenly realized that the team was chased by the Lakers to only three points. At this time, Calesimo called a timeout. Stephen didn't care about what was going on in the previous game and stood up.

Kalesimo knew very well what to do at this time. Because Cott Thomas was already a little tired, Yao Ming was not tired. He just replaced Cott Thomas in the interior and replaced Sergii Baka. The two point guards who only know how to attack were also replaced, and Earl Watson and Stephen formed a backcourt lineup.

As soon as he came up, Earl Watson made an unexpected mistake in his pass, passing the ball directly to Kobe Bryant's hand. Kobe Bryant took a big step and reached his own half in two steps. Then he jumped up and tied the score, while increasing his personal score to 40, which was only five points away from Stephen's forty-five points.

Faced with Kobe Bryant's provocation, Stephen did not respond at all. He just patted Earl Watson on the shoulder with comfort, so that he would not think too much. After returning to receive Earl Watson's pass, Stephen broke through in small steps. Although Trevor Ariza tried his best to squeeze Stephen, Stephen was not able to squeeze him. After reaching the right position, Stephen jumped slantedly, threw the ball into the basket in the air, and scored two points.

Kobe Bryant made another three-pointer, probably because he wanted to overtake the score in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the ball was a little stronger, and most of it bounced out again. Yao Ming yelled, squeezed out Paul Gasol and grabbed the rebound, and then passed it to Stephen. Stephen made a fast break to attract the opponent's defense, but the ball was thrown to Kevin Durant behind him, and Kevin Durant scored a dunk, widening the gap again.
