The Wizards served to Hinrich, and this time the Turtles were alert in advance and suddenly approached Hinrich before Blatche came up to cover, which allowed him to successfully squeeze through the screen.
The pick-and-roll was blocked by Westbrook, but he managed to get to the three-point line. Hinrich would not exit easily. It was impossible for him to play by himself, but the rest of the Wizards also started to move.
The two insiders, Li Kaiming and Brac, acted as screeners on the bottom line to help the remaining two shooters block people. One of Sun Yue and Nick Young ran along the bottom line, and the other ran into the inside line from the outside at a 45-degree angle, and then made another pass. Went out and ran to forty-five degrees on the other side.
Not to mention, just messing around in the Thunder's formation really made the Wizards find an opening.
After Li Kaiming screened, Harden and Jeff Green, who were chasing Nick Young, suddenly lost weight, and both of them pounced towards Nick Young on the outside.
This time, Li Kaiming was released directly inside the three-point line. Hinrich had quick eyes and quick hands and directly passed the pass to Li Kaiming. At this time, Jeff Green, who collided with Harden on the outside, also reacted and immediately turned around and ran towards the inside.
The opportunity is right in front of you. Isn't Li Kaiming the kind of person who doesn't have to play with high difficulty if it's not simple?
So he just dribbled the ball and ran towards the basket. When the Serbian guy under the basket saw this, he let go of Brac under the basket and rushed over to block Li Kaiming.
However, Li Kaiming didn't have to dunk this guy, not to mention that he was still too far away from the basket at this time, and he might be injured if he dunked forcefully.
Li Kaiming made a fake shot and passed the ball without looking at the basket to Brac, who was waiting for help under the basket. After receiving the ball, the latter faced the empty basket, jumped up on the spot, and dunked with both hands. After the dunk, he was still not satisfied. , hanging on the basket like an ape in heat and vigorously twisting his crotch, as if a naked beauty was tied up on the Thunder basketball hoop waiting for his blessing...
2 to 7!
After Durant took action, the Wizards hit again to open the point difference to 5 points, and so far, the Wizards have not missed a goal.
Thunder head coach Scott Brooks covered his face on the sidelines. It can be said that the arrangements before the game were all arranged to the horse's ass. He could not score against the Wizards' defense, which was the worst in the league, and was even used 100 times by the opponent. Scored 7 points with 100% shooting.
Of course, Brooks also has reasons to say that his arrangements before the game were very thoughtful and perfect, but the players below did not execute them properly...
I don’t know if the tactics are wrong or not, but Brooks knows that if he can’t guard the Wizards in the next round, he will use the first timeout tonight.
It can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the surrounding audience that tonight's fans are very dissatisfied with the Thunder's opening performance. If it weren't for the fact that the audience close to the bench are all respectable and will not do anything to lose their standing, I'm afraid Someone had already slapped Bingkuole on his head!
The Thunder team attacked, and the Thunder players on the court also obviously became serious. The atmosphere before the game was heightened to this point. Didn't you see that the home fans all wore home support short-sleeves in accordance with the playoff specifications? If the game continues at this pace, this shit will have to be fed to the home fans tonight...
So in this round, even Westbrook, who is the easiest to take advantage of, became more patient. The Thunder started running tactics. In the end, Durant caught the ball at the waist and then turned around and shot!
Sun Yue really can't interfere with Durant's shot. In this case, whether the ball goes in or not depends entirely on Durant's touch. From these two goals, it can be seen that his touch tonight is still good.
4 to 7, the Wizards served, and Brooks on the sidelines couldn't help but sit up straight, and clenched the marker in his hand involuntarily...
This round will be the most critical round in the first quarter, determining the trend of the game in the first quarter.
Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Brooks finally couldn't hold it back. He stood up and shouted and clapped at the Thunder players, trying to arouse the players' attention on defense.
The Thunder fans at the scene were also very enthusiastic. Under the leadership of DJ, they began to shout "defense" in unison. While creating pressure on the Wizards, it also helped the Thunder shape their defensive momentum.
In the end, Hinrich and Li Kaiming picked and rolled. Li Kaiming caught the ball and attracted a double-team from the Thunder, and passed the ball to Sun Yue on the outside.
Durant's assist defense speed is very fast. Thanks to his monster-level lateral movement of the same height, he can immediately return to Sun Yue after assisting Li Kaiming.
At the same time, the wingspan of 225 meters and the height of 2 meters 1 gave Sun Yue a feeling of being blocked from the sky while defending well. In this case, he had to increase the arc of his shot. To avoid the block, although the ball was not blocked, this shot was not familiar to Sun Yue. In the end, it barely hit the front of the basket, almost missing.
The Serbian guy under the basket protected the backboard and handed it to Westbrook. This kind of ball is what the Turtles like best. Pushing and converting fast breaks is his specialty.
After Westbrook caught the ball, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and surged forward on the court like a Hummer, passing Wizards players one after another along the way. Hinrich and others were completely unable to keep up with Westbrook's speed. Speaking of Wizards players, even the Thunder players on the same team were left far behind by Westbrook alone.
Li Kaiming was the only one in the audience who could keep up with Westbrook, but Westbrook likes to fight head-on. Li Kaiming's pursuit from behind did not make him fearful at all. On the contrary, he became even more excited!
The Turtle's temper is a double-edged sword. The good thing is that he won't have any fear when encountering a strong opponent. Instead, he will become stronger when he encounters a strong opponent. The bad thing is that he is very easy to get the upper hand.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the basket, Westbrook speeded up again and rushed towards the unguarded basket. Li Kaiming also accelerated almost simultaneously, ready to jump at any time to invite the turtle to taste the spicy food from the Chinese. hot pot!
But he still underestimated the bravery of the Turtles. Without any hesitation, Westbrook rushed to a position more than one meter away from the basket and took off directly. Then he stretched his whole body into the shape of a bow in the air, and then suddenly released his power. Li Kaiming Before his arm arrived, he dunked the basketball into the basket with a bang!
Grass!
Li Kaiming cursed in his heart, this stupid young man is really not afraid of me hating him!
Moreover, the speed of the Turtle's dunk was too fast. If it were another person, Li Kaiming could have nailed the ball to the backboard and would not be able to dunk it down. But Westbrook's arm swings much faster when dunking than others!
And the Thunder's home court also climaxed directly because of Westbrook's explosive dunk!
A tsunami-like cheers and screams, mixed with whistles, poured in from all sides of the stadium. With the blessing of the confined space, they were like sonic weapons in science fiction movies, which made Li Kaiming's eardrums hurt!
After Westbrook landed, he directly activated the skill "Turtle Roar", and with the cheers of Thunder home fans, his whole figure seemed to be joining a "glorious evolution", with the muscles of his upper body and the blood vessels in his neck expanding. Standing up, from a distance, the real Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are just a few steps away from being dyed green and carrying a turtle shell.
The Thunder players also rushed to greet Westbrook after his dunk. Whether they were pushing Westbrook or directly bumping shoulders in celebration, they all added firewood to the hot atmosphere of the Oklahoma City Stadium!
Westbrook's attack this time can be said to have wiped out the previous backwardness and brought back the Thunder's home atmosphere.
When the Wizards attack again, they will face the Thunder, who have received a bonus from the playoff atmosphere, and Oklahoma's crazy fans!
"Defend! Defend! Defend!"
"Let's go! Thunder!"
Along with the loud slogans, there were also the drums of the home field interspersed. To describe it in one sentence, it was really noisy, just like the blast of firecrackers.
The Wizards players have never seen this kind of attitude before. They are full of calculations. Among this starter, Hinrich and Blatche are the only two players who have played in the playoffs, and they were in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and even the conference finals. Never touched it.
Seeing the momentum of the Thunder's home audience at this time, even Hinrich and Blatche, who had played in the playoffs, felt a little weak in their calves for a while!
So as expected, Hinrich threw the ball to Li Kaiming after halftime, and then hid far away, saying: open up the space!
When the Oklahoma City fans saw one of the protagonists tonight getting the ball, they immediately burst into loud boos!
Hu~
"Aio Aio! Defend!"
The fans clapped to the rhythm of the drums and shouted slogans at the Thunder players on the court.
After Li Kaiming got the ball, he glanced at his teammates who were hiding in the distance. He sighed helplessly, Damn, you guys are good. Throw the ball to me and it will run very far. I have never seen this battle before. ah!
To be honest, although Li Kaiming is strong enough and has a system, he has never experienced the atmosphere of the NBA playoffs, especially the away game atmosphere, the feeling of 20,000 people collectively booing one person!
Although the original home audience of the NCAA Final Four was much larger than this, it was a neutral stadium after all. Unlike the NBA Arena, when you go to an away game, you are really against tens of thousands of people!
No matter how strong Li Kaiming is, he is still a human being after all. Even if his body has been transformed by an unknown civilization, his psychology is still that of an earthling, or even that of a 19-year-old boy.
This feeling of fighting one against ten thousand alone still made him a little nervous!
Fortunately, Li Kaiming has an advantage, that is, he is very adaptable. In such a stressful and noisy environment, he immediately calmed down after experiencing the initial nervousness and confusion.
Although my hands and feet are still trembling slightly, they are much better than at the beginning!
Feeling that his body had recovered a little, Li Kaiming immediately dropped the ball and started dribbling facing Jeff Green. Don't tell me, after he started shooting the ball, the pressure on his body suddenly became much lighter than before standing still. He You can even feel your body becoming lighter!
Li Kaiming slowly dribbled the ball closer to Green. When he was still an arm's length away from Green, he suddenly made a small change of direction in front of his body, and then broke through from the right side.
This small change of direction did not shake Green away. He still remained in the defensive position, but Li Kaiming took a step from the right side and suddenly dribbled from behind to stop. This brake caught Green off guard. Li Kaiming put the ball together with both hands and directly pulled it up on the spot. , the basketball hit the net!
