Brooks replaced Durant with Mahmoud.
He also swapped Westbrook back.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Clippers also sent back Matt Baines and Gasol.
The game started again. The offense of the Laker was very simple. Li Ze was inside the lane and directly positioned himself under the basket. After he positioned himself, Kobe's pass immediately arrived. Then, he easily pushed past Perkins 'defense and hit the ball into the basket.
When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, it was still Fisher who passed the ball to Harden after half the court.
Harden did not force his way forward. He was no longer facing a weakling like Devin Ebanks, but Kobe.
Therefore, Harden and Westbrook began to work together. Using Westbrook's pick-and-roll, he broke through to the free-throw line. At this time, Kobe and Mehta Walpis immediately switched defense.
"The defense of the Los Angeles Clippers is really strong!”
Harden thought in his heart. He did not dare to go any further. Before the game, he, Durant, Westbrook, and the others thought that Li Ze was just a rookie who was lucky enough to play well in one game. However, when he sat on the bench and saw his two brothers being blocked by Li Ze in succession!
He was afraid!
However, this time, against Meta Waldpis, he relied on his own touch to force a shot and put the ball in, helping the Thunder maintain their one and two point advantage.
It was the turn of the Laker's offense.
Li Ze served, and Ramon Sainz continued to push forward. This time, Li Ze did not pick up and roll, but changed Gasol to pick up and roll.
Ramon Sainz took the opportunity to break through.
However, Westbrook, who was defending against him, was already mentally prepared. This time, he quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and followed.
Ramon Sainz did not care how closely Westbrook followed, as long as he could not intercept the ball. His goal was only to send the ball to Li Ze.
Li Ze received the ball immediately.
However, this time, Li Ze did not get a good position under the basket.
Thunderclap switched players to defend against him. Ibaka gritted his teeth and used all his strength to defend against himself.
Perkins also let go of Gasol, who was still on the outside, and went to double team.
Li Ze knew that his dribbling wasn't good. If he allowed the bread clip to succeed, he would probably lose the ball, so he immediately passed the ball out!
After Mehta Waldepis received the pass, she immediately passed it to Kobe, but Harden immediately followed up. Kobe had no choice.
The Thunder's players ran like crazy, not allowing the Laker to move out of the gap this time.
In the end, the attack ended with Kobe's iron shot.
For the first time in the game, Mike Brown frowned. He had thought that the other side would not double-team Li Ze. Even if the double-team was well moved, the other players would have a good chance to score. However, this time, it did not succeed.
But soon, Mike Brown calmed down. After all, the Thunderclap was running like crazy this time. How long could they last?
…………
"The Thunderclap has double-teamed Li Ze…It looks like this is the method that Coach Brooks gave to restrict Li Ze…And from the looks of it, they seem to have succeeded! At least on this goal, they were successful!”said Kenny Smith.
Kareem nodded and said," Ibaka contributed a lot to this goal. He resisted Li Ze's rhythm of moving to the basket in the early stage. However, it seems that Ibaka was a little embarrassed after he headed Li Ze! He probably spent too much effort!”
Charles Barkley said," In any case, the Thunder have temporarily found a way to deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. But whether it will work or not will depend on the next game!”
"The Thunderclap has given the Lakers a small test. Let's see how the Lakers solve it!”said Kenny Smith.
Kareem nodded and said," This kind of question may not be a big deal for the Los Angeles Clippers. After all, they don't only have Li Ze. Don't forget, the key player of the Los Angeles Clippers has always been Kobe. Although he hit the iron just now, I have to say that his performance today was still very good.”
The Thunder once again relied on Harden's shots to score in the offensive round.
Kobe's breakthrough was not successful in the Laker's offense. He could only use the old method to pass the ball to Li Ze. However, faced with the double-team of Ibaka and Perkins, Li Ze had no choice but to pass the ball again.
In the end, the offense of the Los Angeles team was solid again.
"It looks like the Los Angeles Clippers are in trouble! He had been dealt with by Thunderclap using the same method twice in a row!”Charles Barkley explained.
"Let's take a look at the Thunder's attack this time. This time, it's Westbrook. He probably overcame his inner demons this time and once again attacked the basket. Li Ze was blocked by Perkins and Ibaka in front of him. He couldn't do anything. Perkins and Ibaka opened up a path for Westbrook!”said Kenny Smith.
At this time, seeing that the points gap was widening, Mike Brown quickly called a time-out. He needed to change the team's defensive tactics.
