Chapter 1955 Westbrook, Welcome to Join the Air-Cutting Group
The operation was fiercer than the tiger, and Westbrook took over the entire offensive rhythm of the Thunder. Unlike the first half, which was basically one-on-one and only attacked when there was an opportunity. Once his teammates had the opportunity, they would take the ball. In this quarter, Westbrook did that He definitely only has eyes for the basket, no matter how many people are in front of him, no matter whether it is an absolute opportunity, no matter whether the teammates next door move and throw away the opportunity, it is done anyway!
Bang bang bang!
DUANG!DUANG!DUANG!
After 6 minutes of heroic operation, Westbrook finally scored his 40th point of the game. In addition to the 10th rebound that the Raptors grabbed in front of Ibaka before, as well as the 6 assists accumulated before, Westbrook He also posted super statistics of 40+10+6 in his first career playoffs.
However, at this time, Westbrook couldn't be happy after getting such data. The Thunder bench also had a solemn face. Brooks kept walking around with his hands on his waist, and kept shouting something to the court, and then Holding his forehead with a look of discomfort, it was also the Thunder that finally took the initiative to call a timeout.
Westbrook had his hands on his waist and walked back while looking at the big screen. There, the score of the two teams had just come out: 79-70, with the Thunder trailing by 9 points!
The advantage that was maintained throughout the first half was successfully broken halfway through the third quarter. Not only was the score behind, but more importantly, the rhythm on the court was completely controlled by the Lakers without even realizing it.
In these six minutes, the Lakers hit a climax. Ji Feng had 4 points and 4 assists, and Kobe Bryant had 9 points. The two stars shone brightly and dominated the court. In the third quarter, the Lakers' shooting percentage remained above 80%. It was a comfortable game. Didn't you see Nicholson dancing awesomely again on the sidelines?
The atmosphere of the Lakers was also very good. Ji Feng smiled happily. As expected, Westbrook, who had been going smoothly for so long, finally showed his true colors.
Everyone is thinking about how to restrict Durant, but little do they know that the mole is right next to him!
Although it's not obvious this season, there are still a few games where Westbrook played and produced wonderful statistics, but Adu was covered up. Therefore, the only one who can guard Adu is Westbrook!
On the other hand, the Thunder were a mess. Not only did their shooting percentage drop sharply, but the number of turnovers and fouls also increased. Especially Durant, who only had one shot opportunity in these 6 minutes, even under the interference of Ji Feng and Kobe. He did nothing for the whole 6 minutes, so he turned around and ran away. Oh, not only that, he also got 2 fouls by the way. After all, Ji Feng was too active on his defense, so his personal foul count had reached 4 at this time. , is already on the verge of danger during this period.
"FUCK!" Adu, who returned to the bench, threw the towel angrily and cursed.
This scene was captured tightly and perfectly by the camera, and it also successfully made the three TNT bosses laugh.
"Hahahahaha, Durant's fight was really unpleasant. I understand his swearing behavior. If it were me, I probably wouldn't want to fight anymore, but it's hard for him to get the bath water from that elder sister in this state. "Barkley was as venomous as ever and almost laughed under the table in front of the camera.
I still remember that Durant had high hopes before the game. However, so far, Adu has made 4 of 10 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. After all, his performance of only 12 points is difficult to impress. Satisfied, not only was he suppressed by Ji Feng, but Westbrook on the team was also more impressive than him. This performance was better than Lao Zhan's 8 points in a single game in the finals last season.
"Durant needs to find his own form. He takes one shot in 6 minutes. This is completely different from his style of play. The Thunder need him to stand up." O'Neal also said with a smile.
Only Smith said something fair: "Durant is trapped by his team's tactics. He can't catch the ball at all. The ball is concentrated in Westbrook's hands. How can you let him play?"
But Smith's words are taken lightly. After all, Westbrook's statistics are very impressive at this time, better than all the players on the court. Ji Feng only has 21 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds at this time. Westbrook's score is close to twice that of Ji Feng. , can you say he didn't play well?
However, this is the case. Getting super statistics is not necessarily beneficial to the team, but it looks easy and the scoring is not active but it drives the whole team. This is basketball.
After the timeout, the three Thunder young men came on stage one after another. This time Westbrook also understood that he could not do it alone. But at this time, the Lakers also changed their defensive attitude. Except for Westbrook, the other four points were heavy defense. Originally, this The lineup was set up in the hope that Harden would help his teammates relieve the pressure, but at this time Kobe stood up.
When Harden catches the ball, Kobe follows him like a shadow. Kobe completely gives up offense and just follows Harden. Although Harden has made great progress this season and won the Most Improved Player, his personal singles ability has not been developed yet. , scoring basically comes from running without the ball, catching and shooting. Faced with the close pressing of a veteran like Kobe, Harden had difficulty adapting for a while.
So, Harden still passed...
In the end, Harden and Westbrook completed the connection. Westbrook also worked hard, but I couldn't help it. After receiving Harden's pass, facing Bynum's block, Westbrook made a big counterattack in the air. Pull the lever!
Difficulty factor 9.9!
Although Wade may only give him 9 points, Ji Feng feels that it is not too much to give him 10 points for Westbrook, who always likes to go straight and does not bend, to play a Rose-style super pull.
It's a pity that after this ball, the Thunder were still 9 points behind. The Lakers just made a simple cooperation. Blake, who had just come on the court, assisted Ji Feng to make a mid-range shot.
The cheers at Staples Center are endless!
"Simple and unpretentious, Ji Feng highlighted his stability in this game. You can see that I played very easily and did not score any difficult goals, but I was able to put the ball into the basket. You are so difficult and so handsome." The layup is the same as mine, it’s just two points, I’m easier than you, how can you chase points?” Director Zhang started again... But the fans said they were happy to see it!
On the court, a somewhat anxious Adu made a domineering pull-up from the outside.
This was the first time he had acted alone in this game. He finally caught the ball, but he couldn't pass it out again.
It's just that he was unlucky and the basketball bounced out of the frame. This is the epitome of Durant's situation. It's not that he doesn't work hard, but he just has no luck. Of course, he doesn't have much chance...
Fortunately, Perkins, who was under the basket, worked hard and picked up the rebound and passed it to Harden, who hit the mid-range shot.
This ball can be regarded as a life extension. In the third quarter, the two sides ended the battle, 85-75, with the Lakers leading by 10 points.
The game seemed to have reached its climax. In the last quarter, the Thunder's three young men didn't hold back any more and tried their best to recover the score.
Harden was the first to respond. He finally got rid of Kobe and hit a two-pointer after catching the ball. Harden was very regretful after scoring. If the ball had not stepped on the line, he would have helped the Thunder further expand the score.
However, this regret soon expanded. When Ji Feng faced Durant with the ball, he stepped back and directly pulled out!
Then the confused Thunder players heard a pleasant sound of rinsing the net.
The tide is over...
