200. Soaring points still have to look at Kobe
The Lakers played the Thunder, fans thought it was a showdown between Liu Ren and Durant, a season is almost over, Liu Ren has gradually become the best player of the Lakers in the minds of fans, his statistics and activity on the court are dazzling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kobe Bryant is still the top name of the Lakers, but Liu Ren is the key to leading the Lakers to rise again.
After Kobe Bryant found a young successor who was very interested in his appetite for both talent and temperament, his style of acting on and off the court is also changing, although his personality is still so awkward, but intentionally or unintentionally helping Liu Ren pave the way and help Liu Ren become one of the bosses of the Lakers.
Just like the last time the Lakers played against the Heat, Kobe Bryant knew that it would be difficult for him and James to bargain, so he took the initiative to hand over the ball to Liu Ren, and he became an assistant.
This time against the Thunder, people also came with the expectation of watching Liu Ren and Durant face off, and Kobe Bryant also continued to pave the way for Liu Ren, giving the ball to Liu Ren as soon as he started.
But Liu Ren's performance today was so bad that it seemed that his attention was not on the game at all, and he was blown up by Durant.
And Liu Ren's weird various iron making mistakes today caused the Lakers to be pressed by the Thunder after the opening.
In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Thunder by 12 points, 19-31!
Durant had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, while Liu Ren only had 8 points and no rebounds, but had 3 turnovers and inefficiency on 3-of-9 shooting.
There is no way that after the start of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant stood up and took the lead, the 36-year-old Kobe Bryant is still Kobe, and he turned on the scoring mode like last season, and Durant played against him, relying on the advantage of the depth of the team's lineup to chase the point difference back.
Kobe Bryant scored 22 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and the sword is not old!
At this moment, Durant's mood of being a little disappointed because of Liu Ren's poor state suddenly became lively again, and he started the rampage mode again in the third quarter, with 20 points and 5 boards in a single quarter!
Kobe Bryant is not afraid of Durant, a young opponent, it can be said that he has never been afraid of anyone in his entire career, he has long been unable to hold back after playing for two months, and today he seized the opportunity to completely release his offensive firepower, and the third quarter was another 22 points in a single quarter, plus 4 points in the first quarter and 22 points in the second quarter, he slashed 50 points in the third quarter and forcibly beat Durant's 49 points in the third quarter!
How long has it been since fans have seen this kind of pinpoint vs. Maimang, two super scorers rely on their own scoring ability to compete for victory, which is very rare after the Celtics started the huddle era!
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers overtook the Thunder by 5 points and led 81-76!
The Lakers' lineup depth advantage is too obvious, the Thunder's main scorer in the backcourt is injured, the first interior is injured, and the bench is injured, and this time even the strongest scorer did not take advantage of the opponent, and they gradually lost the initiative.
In the third quarter of the Hurricane, Durant's physical weaknesses were exposed, not everyone was tired of playing the whole game like Kobe, young James, and Iverson, and Durant was as physical as ever in the fourth quarter.
Don't look at Kobe Bryant is 36 years old, this time he has rested long enough after the injury, recovered well enough from the injury, and his physical fitness is stronger than Durant in his 20s!
In the fourth quarter, Bryant continued to score 16 points in seven minutes, leading the Lakers to a wave of 25-12 in those seven minutes, widening the gap in one fell swoop.
The Thunder's current lineup Durant can't play and basically finishes playing, Durant misses Westbrook very much now, if Westbrook doesn't play so tired at all.
With Thackeray beating Adams to a successful throw, the Lakers extended the score to 108-88, and the game was completely out of suspense.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 115-100 and won two in a row.
Durant scored 56 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, and his points, rebounds and assists were the highest on the team.
If it is placed in normal times, in this era when the overall data has become average, it will definitely cause crazy discussions and be blown up by fans and media.
But today Kobe Bryant slashed 66 points, and Durant suddenly became the best background!
Director Nicholson, the No. 1 fan of the Lakers on the sidelines, knelt directly and bowed to Kobe when Kobe Bryant scored 60 points!
Kobe Bryant set a new league record for single-game scoring this season, and 66 points is also the second-highest score of his career, and this time 66 points is higher than the highest individual single-game score of all players in the league!
At this time, people found out that if they want to watch the show, they still have to watch Kobe! Even if he is 36 years old, he is still the guy who can score the most!
12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 turnovers, this is Liu Ren's data in this game, it's rotten, he was distracted at the beginning of the game because of the problems of the national team, and then he wanted to cheer up, Kobe Bryant began to go crazy again, and then he became completely invisible, and the only role is to open up space, after all, his three-point deterrent power has a great influence in the league.
Liu Ren has always wanted to shake off the emotional impact of the national team's defeat, but as a Chinese, I know that although I usually like to complain about the country, this is not good or bad, but this is my own country after all, the national team is difficult, as a Chinese, not three or two strokes can get rid of that influence.
The national team lost, he didn't play well, he fell into a dead loop, Liu Ren left the Staples Center in a depressed mood, and the press conference couldn't take his turn this time, Kobe Bryant is now the focus of attention.
……
After the press conference, Kobe Bryant and Gasol and Nash, who came to the scene to watch the game today, went to the café to get together, and the game started early today, starting at half past four, and it was still early.
"Liu doesn't seem to be quite right today, he seems to be out of shape, do you want to remind him?" Nash is very interested in this junior, firstly, Liu Ren is indeed very appetic for these older generation players, and secondly, his championship hopes are still pressed on Liu Ren.
"That's right, Liu doesn't seem to be focused on the game, we should remind him that the playoffs are coming soon, and he can't be sloppy." Gasol agreed.
"Don't you know that bastard? You all know his personality, right? He's not the kind of guy who gets distracted for no reason. Bryant's opinion was completely different, "I think he must have encountered something big that made him really unable to concentrate, and he will definitely not be like today in ordinary small things, I think he should solve it himself." ”
Nash and Gasol think that this is indeed the case, Liu Ren is a big kid character, and there must be something very important to him this time, but Nash still feels a little inappropriate about Kobe's statement.
