Four hundred and fortieth chapters three young concentric(1/2)
In the second quarter, Westbrook left the court to rest.
The Thunder's backcourt lineup is Harden and Fisher.
A veteran and a young man have the common feature of being able to dominate the formation.
Coupled with Durant's stabilization of the morale of the army, no one in the Raptors or the Thunder could gain the upper hand.
The competition posture is intertwined.
In order to prevent the situation from being reversed, Snyder did not dare to replace Li Xing.
Li Xing took a three-minute break from the first quarter and was replaced at the beginning of the second quarter.
His partner is Reggie Evans.
Banyani was pretty good tonight. Because Li Xing was there, Snyder asked Banyani to rest.
When the Italian debuts next time, he hopes to bring surprises.
Harden's position was organized, and suddenly, Durant's cover helped Fisher create opportunities.
Fisher would not miss this opportunity.
The basketball was passed into his hand, and he jumped and shot, making a three-pointer, only 2 points away.
Speaking of the 96 Golden Generation, fans can pronounce many names. Behind the names of that group of legends, they will definitely talk about Fisher. This extraordinary character player who has never been an All-Star, but has contributed a final performance countless times at the last minute.
Like Robert Horry, the more he reaches the critical moment, the more he has a killer instinct.
Moreover, he is also the only person in the Lakers who can calm down Kobe, the best.
His existence can also restrain the three young masters to a certain extent.
Otherwise, it is easy for young people to lift their tails to the sky.
The Thunder slowly made a beautiful overall offense, and the Raptors are still looking for the safest way to score.
Li Xing felt bad, so he turned over and threw the ball and made a blacksmith.
Then there is the moment when the Thunder showcases talent.
For many teams, fast breaks often occur in two situations.
When a teammate gets a long pass from the frontcourt or fast attack player, analyzes the situation on the field and then accelerates with all your might. However, for the Thunder, full speed and full-strength attack often precedes the situation on the field.
This fast attack method with "action first and thinking later" is difficult for opponents to adapt to, and they are more accustomed to the traditional offensive methods of most NBA teams.
This fast attack method of the Thunder began with Westbrook, who grabbed rebounds with almost unstoppable ability. When others were still returning to the half, he had already taken off the air and passed the ball. Westbrook is one of the most powerful players in the league in personal breakthrough ability. The Thunder's offense began with his quick start ability.
When he is not on the court, the Thunder's fast break will slow down slightly, but it will appear a little more reasonable.
However, the Thunder's advantage is not just Westbrook's quick run. Whether other teammates are grabbing rebounds or penetrating into the penalty area, they are also working hard to complete their first three steps. This is obviously the practice point that the Thunder emphasizes in every training: to ensure that they advance at the fastest speed in every attack.
Each of them had a very fast speed. Except for Fisher, an old bone that could not keep up with the young people, others really wanted to ride the wind and waves.
Harden stayed outside the three-point line and threw the basketball into the air.
Durant followed up, grabbed the ball, and dunked.
This is their secret to defeating the Spurs.
They do not have such good tactical qualities and experience, and may not have such good skills. They are just young and can fly and jump well.
In front of them, the techniques and tactics usually do not work.
Li Xing could feel that the momentum of the thunder was rising sharply with their offense and defense in these few rounds.
This is what Snyder did not expect.
With Li Xing in charge, how could this group of people still make a big splash?
This is very novel, and it is the same for Li Xing.
He hasn't been challenged like this for a long time.
It’s like if you play 2K, you are already defeated by Dugu Qiu in the later stage. Suddenly there is a game where the computer pushes you to a desperate situation. What will you do?
Will you quit and start over?
Of course not, you will try every means to reverse it, which is fucking interesting.
Li Xing's ideas were almost the same. He looked forward and had a clear idea of how to complete the remaining game.
Shelwin Mark couldn't figure out Li Xing's thoughts, so he followed him, passed the ball according to tactical gestures, and then retreated aside.
He didn't know what would happen next, he just stood outside the three-point line and watched.
What kind of offense will most damage the opponent's sharpness?
A desperate three-pointer?
Bloody buckle?
Fairy ball?
The answer is that when the opponents defend you with all their might, you grab the rebound and score a second attack when they are angry.
Li Xing knew that his shooting felt bad, but he insisted on shooting.
The shooting position is also very particular. Here, he can move closer to the basket as soon as possible after shooting, so he can use this to compete for rebounds.
Li Xing made a shot and felt very bad. He knew that this goal could not be made.
Perkins also pushed back in time after he took action, and he didn't want Li Xing to have a chance to compete for rebounds.
His grab points are very accurate. If it were someone else, there would be no way.
The ball popped out of the basket, just above Li Xing.
If the rebound is not captured, the Thunder will be another fast break counterattack, and then the momentum will be completely turned to the opponent.
Li Xing can't let this happen.
Perkins felt that he leaned on Li Xing, his broad back was full of strength. This was the iron-bone steel drive that he had practiced for countless hours in the gym.
However, such a body is not enough to block Li Xing.
Li Xing shouted and jumped over to his head under the pressure of Perkins.
Li Xing toughly grabbed the offensive rebound.
The Thunder generals were shocked and all shrank in.
It's too late.
Li Xing, who got the ball, was an unrestrained beast. Perkins's position became his cemetery, and he knew that he could not defend Li Xing.
The heavy rain-like attack came in an instant, and Li Xing jumped up and completed a heavy dunk on top of his head.
Perkins raised his hands and vaguely heard the referee's whistle.
Ten minutes left in the second quarter, Perkins received his third foul.
Brooks stood there, countless in his heart.
Staying Perkins is the safest choice, but his foul number...
It's so fatal!
Li Xing dunked the ball and hung it on the basket, like a naughty gorilla.
If it weren't for the referee's warning, he might have hung up for a while.
Durant and Harden walked towards Perkins and comforted softly.
"It's hard for you to get this far."
Li Xing twisted his neck: "I really can't underestimate you guys."
What kind of person can say these words in a frivolous tone with a funeral face?
Is this something that a normal person can do?
In order to maintain his character, Li Xing also tried his best.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle indicates a substitution for the Thunder.
No matter how stubborn Brooks is, he knows that Perkins cannot be defeated.
In order to make the second half, he must now replace Perkins and replace Westbrook with unknown whether he has calmed down.
The one who replaced Perkins was Cole Aldridge.
After handing over with his teammates, Perkins' unchanging face appeared for the first time.
"Sorry, coach, I'm sorry," Perkins said.
"You did nothing wrong, you did a great job."
Brooks could only pour a few bowls of chicken soup to slow down the heartbreaking Perkins: "Believe me, no one can defend better than you. You can go and see Ratch's hit rate just now. You defended awesome!"
Perkins nodded.
