Chapter 194 The Player Most Like Kobe

Su Yang also saw Westbrook's expression on the big screen, and felt in his heart that this is Westbrook's most authentic appearance. When he is happy, he is happy, when he is unhappy, he is unhappy, and when he is confused, he is confused. He never deliberately conceals his emotions, and emphasizes simplicity.

Looking at the large central screen, the live broadcast data showed that Westbrook played 12 minutes in the first quarter, and all of them made 2 shots. Except for 2 assists, all other statistics were zero, and the sense of presence was so low that it exploded.

This is obviously not the treatment of the team's second head or twin stars. It is difficult to understand why the Thunder arranged this way.

Therefore, it is quite normal for someone as arrogant as Westbrook to feel angry.

Between thoughts, the pause ends.

The two teams started the second quarter. On the Clippers side, Su Yang and other main players continued to rest.

On the side of the Thunder, Westbrook stayed on the sidelines to rest, but Durant, who had played 12 minutes in a row and assumed most of the offensive burden in the first quarter, unexpectedly continued to play, and the game became the second team of the Clippers VS Thunder [-] line-up.

The strength gap between the two sides was obvious. In less than 2 minutes, the Thunder played a wave of 6-0.

In such a situation, the Clippers would not dare to trust them. Van Gundy hurriedly arranged for Su Yang and Randolph to appear on the stage.

And Durant finally left the court to rest, the Thunder team frantically double-teamed and rotated, and voluntarily gave up offensive rebounds, strictly restricted the Clippers from counterattacking, and fought against the Clippers for 2 minutes, forcing the Clippers to only score 3 points.

The price the Thunder paid was three fouls, two of which were on Ibaka.

Even so, Durant hurried back into the game, not daring to rest for a second.

The Thunder's offense still revolved around Durant, but Durant had too little rest time, and his physical strength obviously failed to recover. Not to mention three shots and two turnovers. The only contribution was that the breakthrough caused Jordan to block the foul.

Su Yang broke through to attack the basket and caused Thunder defensive fouls many times. Unfortunately, because of Ibaka and Sefoloza supporting the Thunder's defensive system, the Clippers were still unable to expand their advantage, and the lead was always maintained at around 15 points.

The game reached the end of the second quarter in a blink of an eye, and Sefolosha went around and tried to steal, pushing Su Yang away.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul, and the Thunder asked for a timeout, and cheers erupted in the arena.

In the ESPN commentary seat, Breen said: "Because he has accumulated five common fouls, after the timeout, Su Yang will get two free throws. If he hits all of them, the Clippers will lead 46 to 31. What do you think? "

Jackson said: "Except for the first 2 minutes, the two teams played at other times in this quarter, which can be regarded as returning to the intensity of the three games after the regular season. The Thunder currently have six turnovers and six fouls, and the Clippers also have four fouls and five. mistakes.

The Thunder's style of play is still single, which makes it easy for the Clippers to predict their shooting methods. If Durant can't carry the game, it needs someone else to stand up. In addition, I am puzzled, why Harden has so little possession of the ball? "

Brin said: "I am also very puzzled. He appeared at the end of the first quarter until he left the field in the second quarter. He played a total of more than nine minutes, but all the statistics added up to only 2 three-pointers and 0 foul. incredible…"

Jackson said: "Westbrook also needs to increase the possession of the ball. I hope they can realize this."

On the court, the game continued, and Su Yang stood at the free throw line.

The audience chanted MVP in unison, two free throws were hit one after another, and the Clippers led 46 to 31.

Offensive and defensive transition, Westbrook ran across the center line with the ball.

Durant was in the short corner on the right, then turned around and ran to the short corner on the left, and used Collison to cover the outside cut.

Barnes chose to cross the paint area and bypass the wall to intercept.Durant immediately stopped and ran back, but was delayed by Jordan's block in advance. When he wanted to squeeze through the crowd, he was blocked by his teammate Collison.

Such a low-level communication error made Coach Brooks shake his head angrily.

Durant simply gave up running to ask for the ball, strode straight to the top of the arc, and set up a wall to block Davis.

Westbrook started in an instant, rushing straight to the left elbow like a tiger, and it was done in the blink of an eye.

Davis was at a disadvantage in speed and physical confrontation, so he took the initiative to retreat and intercept without hesitation, just to bet that Westbrook's shooting percentage was low, and based on previous defensive experience, Westbrook encountered such a situation, without exception, he chose to pass. ball.

That once thought, perhaps because he was in a state of anger, Westbrook didn't pass the ball this time, but stopped suddenly.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net and almost caused a foul.

Offensive and defensive transition, Davis dribbled the ball to the right wing, and handed it to Su Yang.

Su Yang took the ball to observe for a while, then turned around and passed the top of the arc, then strode to the free throw line and went straight to the left waist.At the same time, Barnes made another pass to the left wing at the top of the arc, Randolph received the ball and held it high and waited. The three cooperated in a typical triangle attack.

Su Yang took the ball and played Sefoloza in singles, then tried to turn to a cross and swayed, and strode into the paint.

Sefolosha lost his position and was unable to catch up for a while, Durant decisively retracted from the top of the arc to pinch.

Su Yang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and immediately stopped and raised his hand to score the ball. Barnes caught the ball and shot a wide open three-pointer.

when!The basketball hit the rim and bounced twice, and it flew out, and the sound of sighs resounded throughout the arena.

Collison grabbed the rebound, turned around and threw it to Westbrook on the right sideline, and the Thunder launched a fast break counterattack.

For the Clippers, Davis, Su Yang, and Barnes quickly retreated to the free throw line and the waists on both sides. It is a typical anti-counterattack formation. By delaying the rhythm of hitting the basket, the opponent is forced to enter the positional mode. .

But Westbrook seemed to be carrying explosives, rushed to the free throw line without any sign of stopping the ball, and imitated Ross without slowing down and changing direction, forcibly passing Davis, pedaling three steps to reach the basket, facing Su Yang And Barnes shrinks and takes off.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle and called Barnes for a thug foul, and the basketball bounced off the board and into the net.

Two points are valid, and a penalty will be added!

The Thunder bench, which had been silent for a long time, exploded directly, and Harden and Eric Maynor twisted their hips to celebrate together.

Breen said: "Westbrook's two shots seem to have returned to the unreasonable state he is most familiar with. If it were any other player, Kobe might forcefully rush to the basket like this and shoot with double teams..."

Jackson said embarrassingly: "But being unreasonable seems to make him stronger. He is not the kind of player who suppresses his character. If you restrict his style of play, you will definitely get nothing. If you don't restrict his style of play, you may see He ran away.

Of course, it’s also possible to see him hit consecutively or make mistakes…”

With the boos of the fans in the audience, Westbrook made an additional free throw, and the Thunder chased 36 to 46.

Offensive and defensive transition, Davis dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

Perhaps because of Westbrook's sudden bravery, the Thunder team's fighting spirit was aroused. Ibaka and Collison's defense in the interior was quite strong. .

The basketball was passed back and forth on the outside, and finally fell into the hands of Su Yang, who continued to play Sefoloza face-to-face.

He finally swayed the space and rushed to the free throw line, and was double-teamed by Westbrook, so he had to throw the ball to the top of the arc.

Davis caught the ball and held it high, faked a shot to sway Westbrook who was returning to the defense, stepped into the three-point line in one step, and took off with a long two-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Ibaka grabbed the rebound, the Thunder launched a counterattack, and Westbrook took the ball to the top of the arc.

Coach Brooks waved his hand, and the other four Thunder players retreated below their waists, and the singles stage was full.

There was no crotch changing hands, no half-turning and feinting, and no one-handed IN-OUT change of direction. Westbrook slumped his shoulders and lowered his waist, pushing Davis to the left, and stopped and jumped at the free throw line. The speed is so fast that it looks like a swoop shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

Westbrook scored 7 points in a row, and the Thunder were only 8 points behind. Durant took the lead in applauding and cheering.

Brin said with a smile: "The head coach has found that Westbrook has entered the state. Unfortunately, there is not much time left before the end of the halftime game. The Clippers will definitely find a solution during the break. What do you think?"

Jackson said: "As I said just now, the only one who can limit Westbrook is himself..."

On the field, the offense and defense switch.

Davis took the ball to the left wing, turned and threw it to the top of the arc, and rushed to the short corner with a quick step.And Su Yang started from the short corner on the left, used Randolph to cover to get rid of Sefolosha, and then used Davis to cover to go around to the left wing.

At the same time, Barnes, who took the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and threw the ball to the left wing.

Su Yang caught the ball and took off. He raised his hand and scored two long points. The basketball went into the net with a thud.

There were cheers in the arena, the Thunder immediately launched a counterattack, and Westbrook rushed to the top of the arc with the ball.

Durant took the initiative to set up a wall to cover, and Barnes subconsciously moved his footsteps to delay the grab, but Westbrook bent over and accelerated to break through the interception like a pulley with his feet, and rushed to the basket to face Randolph and take off Layup.

boom!The basketball bounced into the net, and Westbrook fell heavily to the ground because he couldn't slow down.

The big central screen showed that Westbrook scored 9 points in a row, helping the Thunder catch up to 40-48.

Su Yang grinned and shook his head, feeling in his heart: "It's indeed Kobe's handpicked player who resembles him the most..."
