Chapter 303 Death strikes!
Amidst the boos all over the sky, Xu Xiang steadily scored the free throw, 56 to 46, and the point difference came to 10 points.
The Thunder made a substitution, Durant re-entered the game and replaced Morrow. It seemed that Coach Donovan wanted him to carry out the final attack.
In the last attack of the Thunder's first half, they quickly sent the baseline ball. After Westbrook caught it, he catapulted off and started to accelerate!
Westbrook only needs 10.98 seconds to run back and forth from the bottom line, and only 3 seconds to sprint for 4/3.08 games. The remaining time is enough to complete an organized attack.
Coming to the frontcourt, Ibaka took advantage of the screen to cover the pick-and-roll, and Westbrook went in directly with the help of the pick-and-roll, passed the ball from the free throw line, and Durant, who slipped from the bottom corner to the top of the arc, caught the ball and shot!
"Shh!"
Successful hit!Death strikes!
The fans in the audience immediately cheered. Durant has experienced this kind of thing a lot. I saw him waving at the audience without changing his face. The fans in Oklahoma City are the most sincere. Maybe they didn't expect that one day in the future, Durant would leave this city and join his "mortal enemy".
Relying on Durant's last shot, the Thunder narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points.
After the intermission, the second half of the game began, and the two teams changed sides to fight again.
The Pacers attacked, Xu attracted attention from the outside, hit the ground and passed the ball to the air-cut pickle, and dunked with both hands!
Westbrook pushed the speed and gave it to Ibaka in the bottom corner. Ibaka moved to Adams on the inside again. He turned around and hit the board, but Hibbert slammed a big cap. The ball was protected and did not go out of bounds.
Adams was hoisted and hammered by Hibbert in this game. After all, he was still inexperienced.
In later generations, Adams successfully evolved into "Sea King", which is his perfect body.
The Pacers had a chance to counterattack quickly, and without worrying about it, everyone in the Thunder team quickly returned to defense. After Xu Xiang rushed to the three-point line for a long distance, before the opponent was able to defend, he shot a three-pointer directly!
Chasing three points!
"Shh!"
Successful hit!
As soon as the third quarter started, Xu Xiang fired.
The Pacers in the third quarter are one of the most terrifying teams in the league right now, the other being the Warriors.
"Stay! Guard!"
Donovan on the sidelines saw that Xu Xiang was missing someone, and quickly shouted at the players, the Pacers can't give them a little chance.
Looking back, the Thunder's offense, Westbrook's frontcourt organization, Durant came out and used the cover to shoot another three-pointer!
"Shh!"
and also!
I returned one to Xu Xiang!
After the vote, Durant pouted towards Xu Xiang. Since the last All-Star, the relationship between the two has not been very good, basically there is no communication. As the strongest rookie of the new generation, Xu Xiang is not afraid of him.
Seeing Durant looking over with trembling eyes, Xu Xiang secretly pursed his lips and ignored him.
After a while in the third quarter, both sides switched to the starting lineup one after another. George Hill dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, squeezed away Westbrook's defense and rushed in to score the ball.
Durant still felt hot, scoring three mid-range shots in a row.
In the frontcourt, Pickle played Durant in singles with the ball, and the feint did not move away. Durant raised his long arm and capped off the layup with a big stride!
Grab the hat!
This ball is too hard!
Pickled Pepper didn't react for a long time, this arm is too long.
Switching offense, Westbrook made an emergency stop of the "Little Zombie Jumper" to hit the iron, the rebound was taken by Hibbert, Westbrook was still as stable as ever.
Xu Xiang's high-level organization, George Hill and Paojiao began to run with the help of screens. Hibbert's screen quality was very high, and the Thunder had to be forced to switch defenses, except for Robertson.
Donovan is worried about using other people to guard against Xu.
The Pacers played very patiently. Seeing that Xu Xiang had no chance, Pickled Pepper continued to come out to catch the ball. Xu Xiang was going in to run, trying to disrupt the Thunder's defense.
After several rotations, Xu Xiang missed the middle distance and the rebound was protected by Adams.
Westbrook passed the ball directly to Durant after halftime, facing Pickle's defense, Durant made a three-pointer!
The audience erupted for a while.
Accurate shooting, unsolvable shooting, this is Durant!
Looking back, the Pacers made a mistake in transferring the ball back and forth, and Westbrook's steal was given to Durant who followed up again, no two points!
Three-point shot!
"Shh!"
and also!
"boom!"
"MVP!" "MVP!"
The home fans start chanting "MVP", Durant is their city hero, he can have it all here!
Durant himself is also very excited. Although the widow is not present today, it is already a very happy thing for him to be able to overwhelm Xu Xiang. So far, he has 28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists!
"Didi Didi—Death is coming! Please pay attention!"
Everyone in the Pacers here seems to have thought of the siren, and Durant, who started the "death mode", would not dare to steal his edge even if it was James.
The players understand this truth, and so does Coach Nate on the sidelines, so he called a timeout immediately, trying to interrupt his offensive rhythm.
"Paul, keep an eye on Kevin, and come up later, Mason, your task is to help Paul defend Durant. If Ibaka is outside, let him shoot, and just manage the inside and Durant!"
Coach Nate is ready to attack. Although Ibaka has outside ability, it is far less important than Durant. Let him shoot to see how much he can shoot. Anyway, Ibaka feels terrible today.
In fact, the best way is for Xu Xiang to help defend. Robertson doesn't have the ability to attack independently, not even free throws, but Xu Xiang's defense is a big problem.
The game came back, Durant felt undiminished, and hit a three-pointer again against pickled peppers!
The consecutive three-pointers made the arena shake a little bit!There are too many people cheering for him.
Durant hammered his chest fiercely and roared excitedly towards the auditorium.
Paojiao spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice but that there was no solution for Durant, who had already defended very well.
The Pacers attacked, Xu Xiang and Paojiao cooperated hand in hand, and scored an empty cut layup.
Now the score is 62 to 60, and the Thunder are only two points behind. They just relied on Durant alone to tie the score!
The Thunder still found Durant, one step away from the three-point line, and took off directly to shoot. Seeing him jumping up, Paojiao immediately felt something was wrong, but it was too late. Durant cleverly found his physical confrontation. Even if the goal was missed, it would still be three free throws.
but--
"Shh!"
The ball shot into the basket as accurately as a missile!
At the same time, the referee blew his whistle immediately.
This is a "3+1"!
