Chapter 1771 Different Thunder, Different Adu

Starting 10-2, the Thunder undoubtedly had a dream start. This was the first time in eight games against the Lakers in the playoffs.

It’s no wonder that the CEO of Thunder sitting in the box felt like he was in tears. After how long, they finally waited for this day!

However, it can also be seen here that the Thunder are different from the past. In the past, when the Thunder took a big lead at the beginning, they would have the thought of underestimating the enemy. The actual performance was that the young people led by Du Wei were rowing on the court without oars, relying entirely on wave.

Therefore, the Thunder also had a lot of comebacks in the regular season. Of course, this is understandable. This is a common problem of many teams dominated by young people. Being young, you need to be a little extravagant.

But tonight was different.

After Durant passed the ball to assist Perkins to score the 10th point, Durant refused to celebrate. Instead, he clapped vigorously and shouted at his teammates: "Keep it up! Don't relax! It's only 8 points." It’s still early!”

Westbrook, who has been the most selfless in the past, also changed from his usual state tonight and looked very calm. Six of the 10 points tonight came from his passing, and he didn't score a single point. This was also very calm in the past. Rare case.

It can be seen that the Thunder really came to this game with the belief that they must win. They really want to win.

When Thunder home fans see how hard the team is working, they naturally won't be stingy with their throats. Because the Thunder have just moved to Oklahoma, they don't have much stickiness with the fans here, and the attendance is average. In the playoffs, Ranked last among the 16 teams, but tonight, Thunder fans burst out with 120% energy, with huge roars and cheers getting louder and louder.

This created huge trouble for the Lakers. Originally, Jackson called a timeout, but Lakers fans felt that the next step was stable. After all, Jackson's timeouts have always been famous, and the results were immediate. Jackson's timeouts are definitely the first in the league.

But this time, Jackson's adjustment failed. At the beginning, Jackson was originally focused on inside position battles, but the Thunder's defense was too strong, and the two interior towers felt average tonight, so Jackson arranged Kobe's singles tactics.

However, the Thunder immediately launched a double-team on Laoyu. The combination of Durant and Westbrook caused Laoyu to make a passing error. Sessions got the basketball first, and the second young master took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack. Although Ji Feng Finley returned Chasing, but with a 3-on-2 frontcourt, Ji Feng could do nothing.

Durant's one-arm dunk!

12-2!

The Lakers fell behind by 10 points in 4 minutes. The most important thing is that they scored a goal in 4 minutes and only scored 2 points!

"This timeout is in vain. No matter what tactics you use, the Thunder will double-team your ball carrier. Fisher is still old and made a mistake during the double-teaming. This ball is not easy to play." In the end Hearing such words from Coach Hu Mi Zhang meant that the situation on the court was really not optimistic.

"Roar!~" Durant and Westbrook bumped chests to celebrate, and then quickly returned to defense.

The point difference is one thing. Looking at the deduction, this attitude of quickly investing in defense is the most troublesome.

Zen Master couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and gave Ji Feng a few gestures. At this time, he couldn't care about whether others could open. The most important thing now was to break the scoring drought and maintain the point difference, otherwise he would fall behind too much. There is no need to hit the ball.

Some people may think that if we are already 3-0 ahead, we just lose one game. It doesn’t matter if our winning streak is broken. No one really thinks that there will be a team that will win the championship undefeated for two consecutive seasons. No, right? ,No way!

The Zen master doesn't mind losing, but losing a game is always an extra risk. If he can sweep him, he will never let a game go. Although he can earn more money for a game, history tells us countless times that carelessness will be in vain, so Naturally, the Zen master would not just give up.

He now puts all his treasure on Ji Feng. At this time, only Ji Feng can step forward to save the team.

Ji Feng also received the instruction, and he also responded in the next round. Although Durant defended very tightly and basically stayed at all times, this gave Ji Feng an opportunity to excel.

CROSSOVER!

Ji Feng beat Durant and made an emergency stop jumper to break the scoring drought!

However, the Thunder did not panic. It was just a goal and it would be fine if they came back.

But Ji Feng's power is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Ji Feng took the lead in defending Adu for 20 seconds. Durant didn't find a chance to take action, and was about to commit a 24-second violation.

At this time, Gasol made a big mistake. Instead of following his own man after the pick-and-roll, he and Ji Feng blocked Durant.

But tonight Durant had a very clear mind and threw the ball directly to Ibaka. A man who averaged 2.2 assists per game would deliver such a subtle goal, and Ibaka didn't even expect it!

But that doesn't stop him from dunking the ball into the basket!

Bang!

The Thunder continued to maintain the point difference.

When Ji Feng saw that it didn't work, two points didn't quench his thirst, so he directly ran a three-point tactic. He didn't have the ball in the bottom corner, caught and shot the ball and scored 5 points in a row.

The Thunder served the ball directly to their team boss Durant.

Yu Jia: "Durant dribbled the ball across the frontcourt! Facing Ji Feng's defense, he made a jump shot from outside the three-point line! The ball went in! Durant responded to Ji Feng, ANWERS BALL! His touch is here!"

"My hands are so hot." Ji Feng looked at Durant. This kind of ball is a style of play that Durant doesn't often use nowadays, but he used it casually tonight. It can be seen that his hand feels hot!

This also inspired Ji Feng's fighting spirit. Ji Feng also dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without any nonsense. He didn't even bother to wait for his teammates to run out of tactics, and made the same three-pointer one meter from the top of the arc.

Score in!

"Ji Feng also responded with a three-pointer! Oh! After waiting for so long, we finally have the battle between Ji Feng and Durant, the two top scorers!" Barkley almost raised his hands in cheers.

However, what is surprising is that Durant did not continue to choose himself to be strong, but instead gave the ball to Westbrook, who was in a better position, allowing Westbrook to score the first goal of the game.

This made Zen Master frown. The Thunder played too maturely tonight, and this will not be easy!

Although fans prefer to see stars compete against each other, coaches don't like it because it means losing the original tactical process. Once they don't score, it will be devastating for the team. If Durant and Ji Feng compete against each other, , there is a risk of being attracted to the Lakers' rhythm by Ji Feng.

But Durant didn't, and instead responded calmly. This seemed a bit timid to the fans, but it was a greater threat to the Lakers!

Sure enough, although Ji Feng scored 17 points in the first quarter and came from behind to surpass Durant's 13 points, the Thunder led the Lakers by 10 points 34-24 in a single quarter. This was the first time the Thunder led the Lakers by double digits in a single quarter.

And this number was expanded again after the second quarter. The peak of the second quarter continued, scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter. However, the Thunder relied on Westbrook's 11 points and Durant in this quarter. With 12 points and three of three three-pointers from substitute Harden, the Thunder led 34-29 by 5 points in a single quarter. After halftime, the Thunder led the Lakers by 15 points!

This is the first time the Lakers have fallen behind at halftime in the playoffs this season.
