On the Thunder's next offense, Gasol was tightly wrapped around Lu Yao.
He has very rich defensive experience and constantly changes defensive positions to limit Lu Yao's opportunities to catch the ball.
The two people were on the inside, their muscles mingling fiercely.
"Fuck him! Fuck him! Fuck him!"
The loud cheers from the Thunder home team cheered for Lu Yao.
"It's so exciting! Is Lu Yao going to play Gasol alone again?" Commentator Yu Jia was paying attention to the situation on the court.
Just when Gasol was about to exert his strength, Lu Yao suddenly withdrew and ran outside in the opposite direction.
Pass from Durant, then comes!
After retreating out of the three-point line, Lu Yao made another mid-range shot.
Gasol tried his best to rush over, but Lu Yao was not nervous at all.
Lu Yao was right at all. He hit him with an iron-blooded mid-range shot and a soft basketball shot.
There was hardly any disturbance.
"It's really too high! Even if you give Gasol a ladder at this height, he can't reach it!" Kenny Smith sighed.
"Wow! Lu received almost no pressure, and Gasol really couldn't jump!
He didn't even make Lu Yao sweat! This technology is really terrible! " Barkley said.
"We scored three goals in a row at the beginning, and almost no one could stop Lu Yao! I can't even imagine what terrible shooting percentage Lu Yao will have today!" Kenny Smith said.
At the home court of the Thunder, the cheers and shouts were even more intense.
"Lu! Lu! Lu!"
The whole audience shouted Lu Yao's name.
Such a start for Tianhu turned the Energy Center into a celebration.
"Lu is so handsome! He stopped his opponent by himself!"
"Gasol is completely overwhelmed! Lu's offensive talent is really full!"
"Lu, set a new record! The Thunder will shine because of you!"
With Lu Yao's shot, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was quite dissatisfied with his team.
"I said, can you be a little more careful! Can you be a little more defensive?
For a rookie to fight like this, my old face has been completely shamed! "
Tom Thibodeau is tapping the tactical board hard. He is a head coach known for his high defensive intensity.
Today, the team's defense against Lu Yao was full of loopholes, and it was like slapping Thibodeau in the face.
"Boss, that kid is too flexible. I can't judge his next move." Gasol shook his head and said.
Thibodeau looked very ugly, and even Gasol said he couldn't guard Lu Yao.
If double-teaming is used, space will be created for Dewey.
What is now in front of the Bulls are two bottles of poison, but I don't know which bottle will cause death and which bottle will just poison.
To restrain Lu Yao, the Bull must make sacrifices.
At this moment, Ross stood up and said.
"Lu Yao's front position is indeed something we have never encountered before."
"Since we can't limit them, we have to have more ferocious offensive firepower than them."
When Thibodeau heard this, he felt enlightened.
For now, focusing on offense is indeed the Bulls' best option.
The Bulls quickly made tactical adjustments.
Gasol will continue to lead the defense, and the Thunder will be guarded airtight to ensure that no one is missed, but there is no need to do too much to limit the shot, which is the so-called sudden shot but not the shot.
On the offensive end, it was Rose's offensive firepower that defeated the Thunder's inside line.
Even though Rose's condition has declined in 2016, the offensive threat he brings can still make the opposing team feel troublesome.
On the Thunder bench, Donovan pointed at Lu Yao and said to the Thunder players.
"I think our goal is very clear in this quarter. Lu is currently feeling very hot. We can use passing and cutting tactics to create space for Lu."
Immediately, Donovan looked at Westbrook standing aside.
"Russell, I don't think this will be difficult for you."
Westbrook nodded and readily accepted the task given to him by Donovan.
Since taking over, Donovan has wanted to transform this team into one that no longer relies on Dewey's singles, but instead uses tactics to create space and score more efficiently.
Lu Yao's emergence in the last game made him more hopeful about this goal.
The opening performance made Donovan excited.
As expected, I was right about this young man.
This young man who has the body of a center but handles the ball as delicately as a point guard will once again let the Thunder set off a youth storm in the league.
With a whistle, the game restarts.
The ball was handed over to the Bulls, with Gasol serving in the frontcourt.
Gasol handed the ball to Rose, who stepped forward to receive the ball, and jogged all the way to the backcourt to settle down.
Rose held the ball steadily through the half. Gasol came up and set a pick-and-roll. Rose followed the trend and broke through inside.
The player who greeted him inside was none other than Lu Yao.
The two looked at each other, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.
Rose's eyes moved slightly. This time, I won't let you stop my attack.
Immediately, Rose took the ball to the wing and brought Lu Yao out.
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows. The last person he pulled out to fight him one-on-one was slapped hard in the face.
Suddenly, Ross started up instantly and changed direction without slowing down.
Did you ever think that Lu Yao's reaction was not bad, and he quickly blocked the position with his body.
Seeing that the offensive space was completely blocked, Rose had no choice but to pass the ball to Gasol who was receiving the ball at the elbow area.
Gasol received the ball and faced Durant, who was switching defenses, and kept fighting with his shoulders.
The dull clashing sound of muscles continued to sound.
Gasol pushed past Durant, turned around and took a shot.
Durant was unable to defend in time and could only watch as Gasol was about to send the ball into the basket.
At this moment, a swift figure came out and blocked the ball in the air.
That person is none other than someone else.
Let you see what a wingspan of 2.31 meters is.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yao stretched out his hand and nailed the ball to the backboard!
Gasol looked at this scene and froze on the spot.
The goal that he considered a sure hit was just blocked by Lu Yao?
Lu Yao fell to the audience on the sidelines and roared angrily.
"come on!"
Suddenly, the Energy Center burst into overwhelming cheers.
When Barkley saw this scene in the commentary box, he held his head in disbelief and opened his mouth wide.
"OMG! Could it be that my eyes were wrong? How did Lu stop that ball?"
That goal was almost a sure hit in everyone's eyes, except for Lu Yao.
Therefore, Lu Yao nailed the damn ball to the backboard.
Before anyone could react, the game was still going on.
Westbrook quickly grabbed the defensive rebound with his quick eyes and hands, and drove the ball forward.
