Perkins or Aldridge are both opponents that must be beaten for Li Xing.

The Thunder lacks an outstanding inside lineman like the Third Young Master. Perhaps their outside lineup is too luxurious, so this shortcoming looks so huge.

Especially when they face opponents like Li Xing, the shortcomings of poverty inside are even more fatal.

With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Li Xing scored Perkins' fifth personal foul.

This foul came from Li Xing's hook.

In order to prevent him from using his hook, Perkins had already used all his strength. However, in the face of the absolute gap in strength and talent, he got nothing but fouls.

Li Xing stood in front of him, his face cold.

This goal gave the Raptors a 13-point lead, and if they were extra free throws, they would be 14 points.

Perkins took a deep breath, and Thunder coach Brooks did not say anything. He knew very well that the necessary trend gradually turned to the Raptors.

Whether he admits it or not, this is unchangeable.

In the face of such a gap, no adjustment will be effective.

With five minutes left, he is not going to replace Perkins.

He wanted to see what would happen later on the five most promising people on the field.

The Raptors maintain high-intensity defense, and it is extremely difficult to score under such defense.

Li Xing looked around and round after round. What is certain is that apart from strong three-pointers under defensive pressure, their only way to score is to break through to the basket.

With him guarding the basket, if you attack in this way, your success rate may be worse than stopping outside and shooting three-pointers.

Even though it is greatly disturbed, it is more confident than making a layup against his defensive face.

Perhaps they heard Li Xing’s voice and they agreed with this view.

Durant dribbles and looks for opportunities, Tony Allen sticks to him, irrespective of whether the referee is watching or not.

The more critical the moment comes, the looser the referee's standard.

Durant can pick up the ball and shoot on Allen's head, but in this way, his shooting percentage will be greatly reduced.

This kind of ball-holding attack is not what he is good at, and now he is faced with such a tough defense, so he no longer has much confidence.

However, the Thunder are not short of people with great confidence.

Westbrook discovered Durant's plight and he intended to help the big brother to rescue him.

He ran over from the side and made a hand-to-hand cooperation behind Durant. With just one gap, he would pull up a three-point arrow.

This is the Raptors' defense. Since Li Xing covered the sky with one hand at the basket, the outside defense was very fierce.

The rest of the Raptors are not afraid of their opponents rushing in, because Li Xing is watching, this is the influence of a dominant basket protector.

An excellent basket protector does not depend on how many hats he can cover, but on whether his opponent will feel fear when he is at the basket.

There are many players in the world who block the covers many times, but the basket protection effect is not good and cannot cause panic to the opponent.

Li Xing is just a rare player, with the number of blocks and deterrence being proportional to the number of deterrents.

His defensive deterrence is like a wild beast with viruses and bacteria. No one dares to approach. Looking back, he averaged 7 blocks per game.

When you think of his defensive effect, everyone will nod their heads sincerely and have the idea of ​​"a monster who can average 7 goals per game."

Talent made him resonate between influence and data.

In less than five minutes, the difference was 14 points.

Westbrook's goal is a goal that symbolizes survival or death in a certain sense.

With the Raptors' offensive ability, the Thunder will definitely not be able to defend against it.

If this goal is not scored, the Raptors score another goal with the backhand, and the score difference will reach 15 points.

Facing the best team in the league with the best defense, will you still have a chance of winning if you fall behind by 15 in less than 5 minutes?

"Swish!"

Westbrook's three-pointer made his teammates feel relieved.

It's just a breath, they have to defend well.

"It's all my fault when I actually entered."

Stephenson raised his hand and admitted his mistake. No one blamed him. This ball had some luck.

"It's okay, just call it back, it's all the same."

Li Xing was very optimistic, and he was not worried that Thunder would launch a counterattack.

In his eyes, this game has been won.

Westbrook's three-pointer just made them desperate a little later, and the result will not change.

Banyani arched and walked step by step.

Ibaka could feel his desire to score, but there was no cover around him. What would this Italian do?

"You bastard, I will never let you get a chance. You will die. Under my defense, you can't think of scoring!"

Ibaka couldn't figure out the situation and had to interfere with trash words.

Banyani treated him as a fool and suddenly ran away.

With his height, it is rare to be able to run like this, and it has been until the last few minutes of the game. He is not tired, and Ibaka is tired.

Snyder didn't let Banyani play for too long tonight.

This also provided fuel for his last-minute attack. Seeing Ibaka's lack of strength, the Italians inexplicably wanted to laugh.

He didn't expect that one day he would be able to walk the other person until he wanted to vomit.

Ibaka hoped that Banyani would stop as soon as possible. He did not think that if the other party really stopped, it was not his thoughts that played a role, but that he came to the end point.

Banyani received Stephenson's pass, and Ibaka was unable to defend. He held up the ball in his hand and made a three-pointer.

He pointed his finger at the basket, and he believed that this ball would definitely be in.

The basketball was spinning violently, and Banyani pointed at the sky with one hand. As the ball entered the bag, a cheer burst out from the central stadium of the route.

Banyani's wife almost jumped up, but fortunately her friend stopped her, otherwise she would have to get angry.

"You can see that the Thunder players' faces were filled with frustration. They must be wondering, why Toronto is so strong? Why?"

Angus smiled: "I can tell them clearly that the Raptors have experienced more tragic tests. They are not the strongest opponents on the journey, but the last opponent on this long journey."

"Yes, for many people, the Eastern Conference Finals is actually the finals of this season."

Barkley said: "At least I personally think so."

Smith had nothing to say about these two people who were tilted to the Somali Trench, and pretended to stand on the side of the Thunder: "No matter what, they are all Western Conference champions."

Barkley was very dissatisfied with Smith, who was a veteran of peace: "Kenny, why did you become a good gentleman? Is this still you?"

Smith was so angry that he couldn't speak. Who said his partner was the most unreasonable commentator in the world?

Banyani's three-pointer was like a pursuer.

It’s like the Thunder just broke out into a siege and rested in a safe place. Before the position was hot, the pursuers caught up.

They felt tired and could not surrender, so they had to hold on.

Perkins and Westbrook played a pick-and-roll, and he cut in quickly.

He was very fast, and Westbrook did see him.

He believed that Li Xing would not let Perkins score in vain, but they no longer had a better chance.

Westbrook chose to pass the ball.

Perkins leaned against Li Xing and wanted to make a layup with a bad face that everyone owed him money.

His idea is right, using the force to fight, so that Li Xing can't jump.

The solution is a good idea, but unfortunately he underestimated Li Xing.

Even if Li Xing couldn't jump up, his long arms could be disturbed. Perkins was so desperate that the ball was blocked as soon as it was raised.

The basketball returned to his hands, and Perkins was about to attack for a second time, but Li Xing raised his hands and enveloped him inside.

He can't play such a defense at all.

Perkins was not a reckless person, he turned around and looked outside, which was Westbrook's position.

He passed the ball out.

At this moment, they just want to score. No matter whether the opportunity is good or not, Westbrook dares to take action as long as there is a little room.

Another three-pointer.

The ball hit the front of the basket. Although Li Xing's position was good, the ball bounced too far.

Ibaka jumped up and took a quick shot.

On the outside, Durant picked up the ball and he also scored three points.
