On the side of the king's bench, everyone formed a circle.

Su Yang stood in the middle and smiled and said, "I admire Thunder so much. Even if Kanter was beaten by Curry in succession, he refused to double-team. But I can also see that they are not physically strong enough, especially Durant and Westbrook. The short rotation strategy has benefited them in the past. Now is the time for them to repay. We must attack and defend with all our strength and continue to fight..."

Between words, the king's offensive and defensive strategy is determined.

One word, spelling!

Taking advantage of the lack of energy in the Thunder generals, they find ways to create more mistakes, double-teams, pressing tightly, and fierce normal fouls...

Anyway, what's up to anything.

The sound of the whistle that ended the pause was followed.

The announcer whispered to inform the two teams of substitution.

The Thunder replaced Adams with Robertson, and the center screen also gave a list of personnel. The two big men's lineups were no longer used. Only one Ibaka was left in the interior, paired with Durant, Robertson, Witters, Westbrook, a typical one- and four-small lineup.

"Um?"

Seeing the Thunder's lineup, Su Yang was puzzled. Why was the game about to end and suddenly put up a large and four small lineup?

Adams and Kanter were not bothered by fouls, and they had 3 fouls, which was nothing more time and lacked physical strength.

Or is Coach Brooks timid?

Finally, Kante was afraid of Curry's military training?

Or are you afraid of being disrupted by the shark-cutting tactics?

Or do you think you can already compete in a small lineup at the last moment?

Without thinking too much, the referee blew his whistle to indicate.

The game continues.

The Thunder kicked off at the bottom line of the backcourt, and the horn formation started. Westbrook slowly dribbled the ball across the center line. Durant simultaneously used the cover to make Iverson's cross-cut. Just as Durant ran away and left space in the middle, Robertson lifted the top of the arc and set up a wall to cover Curry.

Westbrook suddenly broke through, and stepped to the top of the free throw coil in one step. Seeing that Covington changed the ball to prevent interception, he pushed the ball sharply and changed direction, and then rushed to the free throw line, lowered the center of gravity, pushed the ball with his left hand to the bottom of the free throw coil, jumped vigorously, and carried the defensive basket.

Basketball slams the iron.

Su Yang had an idea instantly.

At this moment, just like that moment.

Westbrook, a fierce attacker at the last critical moment, has appeared at least fifty times in his career, all of which are simply using a high-level cover to enter the inside line, throwing himself into the layup if he doesn't have his life. If he succeeds, he will motivate the whole team, and if he loses, he will lead the whole team to collapse.

Covington, who was chasing closely, aimed at the landing point and grabbed the rebound.

The king immediately launched a fast attack.

Unexpectedly, the referee blew a whistle and punished the violation.

The central screen plays back, showing Covington crossing the line.

Sighs sounded throughout the audience.

The Thunder's frontcourt ball, with 13 seconds left in the offense.

Witts and others pretended to be in the position and ran the run, but the Kings almost ignored it, and the basketball was passed to Durant as expected.

Antetokounmpo immediately approached with his right hand, put his right hand on Durant's waist and disturbed the ball sweeping, and held his left hand high to prevent Durant from pulling it out.

Durant accumulated strength for a moment, took a step forward, slapped the ball vigorously and adjusted it suddenly, jumping up, and it was obvious that he wanted to rush to shoot.

In the flash, Antetokounmpo slapped his right hand.

The basketball fell to the ground and got out of bounds.

Antetokounmpo wanted to save the ball, but the sprint was too fast, and he lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground and rolled and slid, and hit the audience.

Still the Thunder ball rights.

There are only seven seconds left in the offensive time.

The king's momentum has increased greatly, and he successfully defended twice in a row!

Su Yang applauded and cheered, and the fans of the audience cheered.

The referee blew the whistle and the Thunder re-activated the ball at the bottom line.

The position has changed.

But Durant still took the ball around to cover it with a difficult cover.

Green, who changed defense, forced himself forward decisively and blocked the marking position of the stadium on the right. Durant did not hesitate to rush down the ball and rush forward.

Unfortunately, Durant has played for 41 minutes and has almost no rest in the second half. His physical fitness has dropped sharply and he cannot get rid of it.

With only five seconds left, Durant stopped urgently.

The basketball banged and the iron bounced back.

The basket was immediately snatched into a ball.

The king had a great advantage, but the two brothers Green and Cousins ​​got together, and no one could succeed, so the basketball flew again.

In the chaos, Ibaka picked up the basketball, jumped on the spot and dunked with both hands. The Thunder took the lead again 108 to 106.

Cousins ​​and Green were both angry and glared at each other, instinctively trying to vent their dissatisfaction, and then chuckled with relief.

This game was too fierce.

All were feeling emotional.

Su Yang applauded and cheered.

The king launched a counterattack in the field, and the five-for-one formation started.

Curry dribbled the ball to the right wing, passed it to Antetokounmpo at the top of the arc, and ran straight to the right bottom corner to provide cover for Covington.

Covington pretended to cut the ball accidentally, but suddenly stopped suddenly and turned around to rush to the basket. However, Vitus's defense was quite tight and he did not give him a chance.

Seeing this, Curry ran to the top of the arc and provided cover for Antetokounmpo. Westbrook decisively changed defenses, and the overall situation of small defenses appeared again.

That kind of operation is Su Yang's tactical idea.

Seeing this, the rest of the King's players scattered and opened up space. Antetokounmpo immediately lowered his center of gravity and deliberately rushed towards the basket with Westbrook.

Without any technical moves, he directly grabbed the ball and made a layup with two steps.

Westbrook was determined to press, but his arms were not long enough and he was still in a confrontation. He could only watch Antetokounmpo jump hard.

Clang! Crack the basket and fry it into the net.

The only tall Thunder man, Ibaka, wanted to make up for defense, but unfortunately it was too late, and the disadvantages of the small lineup were undoubtedly revealed.

Su Yang stood up and applauded.

Previously, Thunder used Antetokounmpo to defend Westbrook, but Antetokounmpo failed to beat him, but just now he was determined to rush, which was a strategy adjustment. Anyway, Thunder liked to bully Antetokounmpo's ball-between and could not rush up the position, so he created the best position environment for Antetokounmpo.

With Antetokounmpo's condition, it doesn't require multiple dribblings, and the effect looks good, so it's difficult for other rough guys to stand it.

The score tied again.

The two teams changed their offense and defense, and the Thunder fell to the top and four.

After a while of a struggle, Durant ran to the top of the arc to make a pick-and-roll for Westbrook. The king decided to change defense according to Su Yang's arrangement.

The situation has become small and big.

Antetokounmpo defends Westbrook.

The Thunder Generals hurriedly scattered and opened the space.

The fans on the scene saw this and boasted about the interference, but Westbrook was not taking action for a long time. He seemed a little tired, and might be observing and waiting.

With only 6 seconds left in the blink of an eye, Westbrook suddenly made a breakthrough.

Antetokounmpo hurriedly followed with a slid sideways.

The two of them reached the left waist position when they called each other forward and backward. Westbrook almost fell down when the center of gravity was unbalanced. He hurriedly stood firm with his right hand and forced himself to pull out.

Bang! Antetokounmpo beat the basketball with one hand.

It didn't take off at all, and it was difficult to tell whether it was a block or a steal.

Cheers exploded in the stadium, Antetokounmpo picked up the basketball, turned around and headed straight to the frontcourt, and the other Kings players rushed rapidly.

Antetokounmpo raised his hand and made a long pass, the basketball went straight to the right wing of the frontcourt, Covington received the ball in a large open space, and raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

"Don't..." Before Su Yang finished speaking, the basketball got hollowed out into the net, "Okay! Leschart, Leschart..."

The King overtook the Thunder 111 to 108.

Cheers burst into tears in the arena.

There is 1 minute and 35 seconds left, and the Thunder kicks off at the bottom.

Westbrook slowly ran across the center line, and Durant was using the cover to run Iverson's cross-cut, as if the whole team had the only tactic.

Not sure what the arrangement was, Durant suddenly stopped and retreated to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, raised his hand to take the pass from Westbrook, and pushed Antetokounmpo's defense and pulled the ball. The basketball slammed the iron and flew back to Covington at the free throw line, and cheered again in the stadium.

In the espn commentary seat, Van Gundy sighed: "This offense is a microcosm of the Thunder's full game, even the entire season, and the past few seasons. They are extremely sure that superstar players can solve everything and look down on tactical value extremely despising them. They may win some games, but they will lose most of the games. Tonight they played tactics for more than a quarter and suddenly gave up."
