But the next ball came from Thunder's side, breaking the rhythm.
Davis's strong play under the basket encountered interference and failed to hit.
Rebound was picked off by Zubac, Lakers again Fast Break.
James advances with the ball alone, reaches the position two steps in front of the Frontcourt Three-Pointer line, and directly Three-pointer pull-up jumper takes the shot.
Come on!!
The score difference is 7 points, the smallest score difference since the first quarter of this game.
Lakers's momentum is really picking up.
However, that's it, for the next few Possessions, both sides failed to hit Live Plays again to score.
On the contrary, James and Westbrook each won Free Throw several times.
After the turbulent offensive battle, there was another wave of scoring drought.
Third Quarter's game slowly came to an end in a strange rhythm.
After three quarters, Thunder led Lakers by 9 points, 102 to 93.
Under the strong leadership of James, Lakers once approached the score.
However, obviously, their efficiency cannot sustain the entire Second Half.
After Fourth Quarter came back, Lakers had problems one after another in his first three attacks.
All kinds of low-level mistakes appear one after another.
Kuzma Dribble made a mistake, Stephenson was a smooth catcher, Rondo Layup went wide.
As for Thunder, they firmly seized the opportunity.
The cooperation of Alexander and Chen Xi, continuous outside passing and cutting cooperation, and outside firing.
In just Three-Pointer minutes, the score was once again extended to 14 points.
Lakers immediately changed to Timeout and replaced it with Starting Lineup.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
After James came up, he started Scoring Mode. Taking advantage of Thunder's side, Davis had not yet had a chance to play, and tried his best to attack Paint.
It also caused some damage.
But Donovan obviously will not continue to give him opportunities like this.
Soon, taking advantage of the dead ball again, Brow was replaced.
Thunder Paint guarded by Davis is definitely one of the most difficult lines of defense to break through among all League.
Lakers did not continue to be tough.
James began to choose to stay in the low position, attract the defense with his personal offense, and then create opportunities for Teammates.
It's a pity that Anthony's side is out of fire.
Continuous outside shots Three-Pointer failed to hit, which directly made the game lose suspense.
Here Melo Three-Pointer Brick, long Rebound pops up.
Over there Chen Xi rushes over and there is a Chasedown Three-pointer.
Two Possessions came back and forth, directly destroying Lakers.
In the last five minutes of the game, Thunder scored 125 to 109, leading Lakers by 16 points.
At this time, Thunder also began to slow down, steadily.
Westbrook controls time firmly.
Davis began to take over the main offensive ball, and Interior from Lakers steadily scored points and stabilized the point difference.
Lakers failed to stir up trouble again in the end.
Soon, the game was over.
Thunder defeated Los Angeles Lakers 133 to 114 with a score difference of 19 points.
Chen Xi once again showed his super scoring ability. He made 20 of 28 shots from the field, Three-Pointer made 11 of 14 shots, and Free Throw made 5 of 5. He scored 56 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists with terrifying scoring efficiency.
He once again set a new career scoring high.
As for Lakers, James made 11 of 20 shots, and Free Throw made 9 of 12, scoring 35 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
Anthony made 8 of 18 shots from the field and scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.
The two stars combined to score 61 points, unable to hide their decline.
Except for Third Quarter, who barely managed to keep up with the score for a while, everyone in the audience was beaten by Thunder.
The difference in strength is obvious.
Of course, it can also be said that they have not been able to find a truly suitable fusion method.
Although Anthony showed willingness to cooperate and was even willing to put aside his identity to help James, James was also willing to help Melo frequently.
However, the technical conflict between the two is still a huge contradiction that is difficult to resolve.
At this time, you really need an excellent Head Coach to grasp the balance.
But obviously, judging from Walton's performance this season, it may be difficult for him to do it.
<Here we recommend Championship coach Rivers>
At the end of the game, the players on the field shook hands with each other, and Chen Xi also stepped forward to shake hands with the potential newcomers in Lakers one by one.
Old Zhang? He might be in a hurry~~
After a simple exchange, Chen Xi found his primary target.
"Kobe!!"
"Chris, you are very powerful." Kobe approached and looked at the young man in front of him, as if he were looking at his younger self.
"Thank you, I'm your fan, would you mind signing your autograph for me?" Chen Xi approached with a smile.
"I'm afraid you're not just a fan of mine." Kobe smiled and gave Chen a hug, then patted him on the back.
"I may know you better than you think. Tracy told me that you tell everyone that you are his fan."
"Ah hahaha, how could it be possible? You are all my idols! I'm just more philanthropic..."
[Damn!! Tracy McGrady is such a slanderer, I am declaring that I will stop following him for one day!]
Kobe likes Chen Xi very much. In fact, he has been following Chen since very early on.
The initial attention was due to a marketing article that promoted the hard training of Chen Xi and Odie.
This is undoubtedly the thing that most arouses Kobe's good feelings.
He likes players who can endure hardship and are self-disciplined.
Then I went to find out a little more.
Chinese American, speaking Chinese, Shooting Guard, killing Warriors, boxing Redick...
Then to the next three giants Thunder, Western Conference Finals failed, and took revenge the next year, taking down NBA Championship.
Even leading the team alone this season and scoring crazy points, he has seen it all.
There is a bit of himself in this young man.
Although the technical characteristics are quite different, he appreciates the diligence, the desire to win, and the tenacity to carry the team forward alone.
Although it's a bit of a boast, but in the eyes of Kobe, isn't this me! <A different me in this world!>
Tonight's game is obviously here to cheer for the home team, but in reality, there is another layer inside, to see what Chen Xi means.
And Chen Xi did not live up to expectations. Tonight, in front of Kobe, he scored a new career high on the head of his home team.
Although Kobe has retired, as the former top player of League, he still often pays attention to matters related to Basketball.
Committed to the development of Basketball, especially the women's basketball team~~
After all, he has no son~~
Chen Xi, on the other hand, climbed up the pole and began to work hard to expand the topic and expand the relationship with Kobe.
It doesn't have any utilitarian purpose.
Mainly...2020 is not far away.
Kobe's entire career is also full of controversy. Some people like him like crazy, while others hate him like the enemy who killed his father.
However, as long as someone loves Basketball, I don't think they would want that to happen.
As for Chen Xi, he must work hard to develop a relationship with Kobe, gain trust, and then try to prevent the bad news from coming.
