"In the second quarter, Harden made 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, playing like a superstar. Su Bei made 2 of 3, 2 three-pointers He scored 2 goals, scored 6 points, 1 assist and 2 rebounds, and performed very efficiently. I originally thought that the 'dead combo' would continue to play music and output, defeating the Grizzlies defense that didn't know how to attack. Unexpectedly, with Durant Weis Brook didn't even give in! In the second quarter, the Thunder's two young men returned to the court. One was 2 for 4 and the other was 0 for 3. It's okay to not be able to attack and defend well. Unexpectedly, they guarded Su Bei and Ha Deng. Without a reasonable dealer and effective organization and passing, it is a problem. Obviously, the Thunder will not break it before Billups plays. The suspense of the game is left to the second half. The Thunder want to There are only two ways to truly win the opponent. One is to let Durant and Westbrook's offense explode, and the other is to let Su Bei and Harden's offense explode. As long as any pair of kings and explosive combinations explode, the Grizzlies will The team’s offensive talent may not be able to withstand it.”
"The Grizzlies' tenacity and bloodiness have been clearly demonstrated. It is impossible to defeat them easily. However, it is also impossible for the Grizzlies to reverse the game solely by relying on defense. The Grizzlies want to win the game. In addition to ensuring that the defense is not overrun, it is also necessary to increase the offensive attributes by 100 million points. Like the Black and White Bears and the Thunder, they were unable to exert their original strength under the respective attacks of both sides. They relied on the performance of role players to achieve success. Such a situation, therefore, failed to eliminate the suspense of the game. The outcome of the second half of the game depends on the core players of both sides, who will be the first to get hard..." After 15 minutes of rest, the second half of the game came back, both sides The main starting force then fights again.
Speaking of hard words, Westbrook did his part. When the game started in the third quarter, he immediately became reckless with the ball.
"Xian Shao accelerated and broke through. Conley couldn't withstand the impact and could only fight and retreat. Huh? What the hell? Westbrook rushed to the penalty area and was surrounded..." This is catching a turtle in an urn!
turtle? what is that? A turtle is a turtle. What is that bastard? It’s too far off topic, but let’s lure the enemy deeper, then close the door and beat the dog!
Westbrook was careless and rushed too deep. He also wanted to pass the ball, but he had no choice but to meet the man.
The two pairs of big hands of the black and white bears covered the basket tightly without any gaps. Bang-dang——!
"Westbrook's rush to the basket was blocked. Westbrook likes to work alone, is not good at mid-range shots, and is not good at long passes. His weaknesses were targeted."...
"It's Westbrook again, dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Su Bei is cutting, Durant is looking for a cover to get rid of the close defense, but Westbrook has no martial ethics, he pulls up from the three-point line and shoots, raising his hand and shooting Score three points for blind Jiba throwing..." Bang Dang——!
If basketball doesn't get used to him, he will die if he tries. Westbrook's three-pointer was also sent. ...and this is just the beginning!
0-for-2 in the first quarter and 0-for-3 in the second quarter could not stop Westbrook from scoring. However, I originally thought that Westbrook's shooting in the first half was already very poor, but I didn't expect that there would be something even worse than the first half. Where is this general?
In the third quarter of the game, Westbrook made 0 of 5 and 0 of 2 three-pointers. He actually shot 0 of 10. Only by making 2 of 2 free throws, he broke the embarrassment of not scoring in 31 minutes of game time. .
However, should I say it or not, Westbrook is also really tough. He shot 10 times in a row, but he still dared to take action. This kind of toughness is really unmatched.
Fortunately, in the third quarter, many Thunder teammates also did the same. He showed off his skills, making only 5 of 17 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers.
Yin Baka was 0 for 2, Perkins was 0 for 1, Harden was 0 for 1...Only Durant and Su Bei scored. Durant showed his scoring lead, making 4 of 5 shots and 1 of three-pointers. 0, 2 of 2 free throws, almost single-handedly carrying the Thunder's offense forward.
Su Bei made 1 of 2 free throws, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 4 points. The performance was mediocre. Fortunately, the Grizzlies did drag the game into their good defensive rhythm, but unfortunately, their offense was also poor.
The three-pointers and long-distance two-pointers failed to hit, and the three-pointers were also 0 for 5. If the outside offense cannot open up the situation, the Thunder can resolutely pile people into the penalty area.
Randolph and Gasol wanted to hit the penalty area, but there was no space to attack. They had to shoot against the defense or bet on long shots from outside. However, the Grizzlies did not have the shooting touch.
Randolph was 1 of 5, Gasol was 0 of 2, Mayo was 3 of 9, including 0 of 4 three-point shots...
"The game in the third quarter was ugly. The Grizzlies got the rhythm they liked, but failed to get the results they liked. In the bad match, the Thunder relied on attacking to the basket, got free throw opportunities, and steadily The advantage of making free throws gave the Grizzlies a 20-18 score..." At the end of the first three quarters, 77-70, the Thunder took a 7-point lead and entered the final quarter.
"Being 7 points behind, the Grizzlies obviously can't use their defense to get back the points they lost. They can only attack and make a fuss on offense..." Not to mention, the Grizzlies continue to show their tenacity, black and white double Bears + Mayo, they came out to chase points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the effect was very obvious. After all, the Thunder's main force was still resting.
"Gasol Jr. took Randolph's pass, hooked under the basket, and scored two points."...
"Randolph got the ball in the low post, turned around and made a layup. Under Collison's block, he slammed the basketball into the basket and continued to score points."...
"Gasol Jr. made a screen and passed the basketball to Mayo. After getting rid of Subei's defense, he made a two-point jump shot... swish -! He also hit! The Grizzlies chased for 6 points in a row, almost Bringing the point difference back to the same starting line..."...Compared to the unstoppable offense of the Grizzlies, the Thunder's offense was misfired.
Harden's breakthrough failed to penetrate the Grizzlies' defense, and he tried a three-point shot but failed. Su Bei's three-pointer also failed to hit.
Breaking through with the ball, under the cover of the Black and White Bears, he couldn't even find the space to take action, so he could only distribute the ball. As a result, his teammates thought they were just spectators, but they did not expect that Su Bei would take the blame.
Then, nothing more! It was obviously an open offensive opportunity, but it resulted in a mistake where the ball went out of bounds.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder were beaten by the Grizzlies' desperate counterattack, leading to a 6-0 spurt.
Off the court, Scott Brooks did not panic, and the advantage was still with the Thunder. The Grizzlies have used up all their cards, and the Thunder still have a pair of bombs in their hands, so let the bullets fly for a while!
"Once again, he handed the basketball to Randolph in the low post, crushed Collison, turned around and made a layup... Bang Dang -! Strike... No, Randolph flew up, like a pig with wings, After landing, he quickly bounced up and regained the missed rebound. He continued to take off and took over, and Collison slapped him with his big hand... "Beep——!"
Bang-dang——! Randolph's second layup hit the target, but caused Randolph's thug to foul and got two free throw opportunities.
Swish——! Swish——! No mercy, Randolph answered the question correctly and made two free throws, helping the Grizzlies complete the lead over the Thunder.
At this time, the fourth quarter was 4 minutes into the game, with 8 minutes left, the score was 77 to 78, and the Thunder were 1 point behind.
Scott Brooks played his first ace and got Durant back. Not to mention, the two-time scoring champion is so terrifying. Handing that damn basketball to Durant immediately posed a threat to the Grizzlies.
"oJ Mayo was broken through by Durant's continuous changes of direction and went inside. The Grizzlies' defense immediately shrank. Hey, as Durant was walking, he separated the basketball from the left corner. Su Bei Free, catch the ball, jump up, raise your hand and shoot a three-point jumper..." Tony Allen rushed back to block the shot, but it was too late and he could only hear the gunshot.
Swish——! With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Su Bei's three-pointer came again.
"Very nice! The Thunder's three-pointer to stop the bleeding, Durant's breakthrough, and Su Bei's finish immediately broke the Grizzlies' defense..." 80 to 78!
The point difference returned to 2 points, and the Thunder regained the lead. After the attack, he returned to defense and immediately shrank.
"In the Grizzlies' offense, Conley returned to the court, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, set a screen with Gasol, shook off Maynor, and rushed in with the ball... He came out again. Su Bei let Tony Allen go. , shrinking back to help defend, Yin Baka also came over, Conley could only fight and retreat, returned to the three-point line, and then hoisted the basketball to the low post on the left, looking for Randolph..." It's no use, Thunder. The zone defense and the tactics of stacking into the penalty area left Randolph without any room to display. They launched an encirclement battle against Randolph. The basketball went in and scored.
"OJ Mayo, three-point corner from the left, caught the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..." Durant jumped out, but it was already too late. He could only bet that Mayo didn't have a three-point pistol. bullet.
Bang-dang——! Mayo's three-point pistol still had no bullets.
"The basketball bounced out of the basket, and the Thunder got the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack. Harden passed the ball to Durant, and when he raised his hand in the frontcourt, he made a chasing three-point pull-up jumper..." Mayo wanted Fighting and retreating, he returned to the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Durant was so unreasonable and shot immediately, only to hear the gunshot.
Swish——!
"Yes! Durant also scored a three-pointer! The Thunder's offensive firepower exploded. Durant just came back and used assists and scores to help the Thunder score 6 points in a row, widening the point difference to 5 points. Grizzlies The team is in danger, Durant is unstoppable..." 83 to 78!
Trailing by 5 points and with no offensive space inside, the Grizzlies can only continue to bet on firepower from the outside. Mayo is not good enough, so let Conley try it too. With the help of Gasol's screen, he can shake off the defense, break through the emergency stop and shoot a two-point jumper... Bang Dang -!
Neither did Conley’s jump shot.
"Randolph got the rebound and passed the ball. Tony Allen caught the ball and continued to shoot a three-point jumper..." Cang Dang -!
still none. The main reason why the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder last season was their inability to shoot from distance. However, at the start of the new season, the Grizzlies still have no way to immediately solve this flaw.
If defense wins, what else do you need a bicycle? Focus on defense and the energy on offense will naturally decrease.
This is an old problem for young teams.
"The Grizzlies really couldn't attack, and the basketball was protected by the Thunder. Maynor brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Harden. Hey, what the hell? Harden also pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line. Yang His hand was just three three-point pull-up jumpers..." Tony Allen only focused on guarding Harden's breakthrough. He didn't expect Harden to be so provocative. He was careless, had no defense, and could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
"The three-pointer hit the net, and Harden's three-pointer was also there. The Thunder rained three-pointers and regained the lost point difference..." 86 to 78!
The Thunder expanded the point difference to 8 points. At this time, the game had been going on for 6 minutes. Scott Brooks struck while the iron was hot and replaced Westbrook, who had rested to full physical fitness.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup has become a lineup full of the Thunder's four young players + Su Bei's offensive attributes.
The Grizzlies' offense still didn't improve. Gasol hit inside and faced the man, but he still couldn't break the Thunder's zone defense tactics.
The Thunder's offense couldn't stop. Westbrook broke through with the ball and missed a jump shot with a zombie jump. The basketball was grabbed by Harden who rushed to the basket. The ball was passed to Su Bei outside the three-point line and he raised his hand and shook... swish -!
"Beautiful, the thunder can't stop the three-point rain. The point difference has become 11 points. How will the Grizzlies play next? The outside will only be stuck outside, and there is no space inside. No matter how hard it is, it will be useless... "Don't mention it, it's still useful if you use it hard.
After lobbing the ball to the low post, Randolph attracted a double attack and immediately passed the ball to Mayo. The latter did not make a three-pointer, but dribbled the ball to break through. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball to Conley to continue the breakthrough. Then, Xiaojia added Saul passed the basketball back to Randolph's hands.
"After going around in a circle, Randolph singled out Yin Baka, crushed the defense, turned around and made a layup. Su Bei, who was returning to defense, did not dare to reach out and could only watch the basketball go into the basket..." Swish -!
Randolph finally scored two points. The score difference became 9 points. Su Bei's face was calm, and he didn't care that the Grizzlies scored two points, because they were not as many as the Thunder.
"Westbrook broke through with the ball, approached the penalty area, and attacked again. He continued to face the man, but the basket still couldn't tolerate him, and the basketball bounced out of the basket..." 12 consecutive shots, 12 strikes.
Westbrook showed how messy his shooting ceiling is.
"The Grizzlies defended the Thunder's attack. Conley brought the ball to the frontcourt, immediately lobbed the ball to Randolph, quickly turned around, and immediately attacked the basket without waiting for the Thunder's double attack to be completed..." Bang -!
Beep——! Yin Baka couldn't bear it and could only send Randolph to the free throw line with a foul. Two swish sounds, two free throws were made, and the point difference became 7 points.
Looking back, Westbrook continued to hit the ground running, shooting 0 for 12 shots. Such a performance, not to mention the fans who like him, even he himself couldn't pass the level in his heart.
Now that the Thunder are leading by 7 points, he feels that he can continue to wander around, and he really responded: He said you didn't listen, listened but didn't understand, understood but didn't do it, did you wrong but didn't admit it, You admit it but don’t change it, you don’t accept it but you don’t accept it, and you don’t say anything if you don’t accept it. What do you want me to do?
However, the basketball is in Westbrook's hands again. It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so I have no choice but to let him.
"Breakthrough, change of direction, emergency stop, zombie interference jump shot... Bang! Still missed! Tonight, Westbrook's shots were all iron-clad, showing how bad the lower limit of his shooting skills is..." Westbrook He is very much given a chance, and the Grizzlies will not deny him face.
During the offense, Randolph suddenly found his form and the offense was unstoppable. Scored two points by attacking the basket.
If you can't score when attacking the basket, you can score by grabbing the basketball board. A foul is committed at the basket and a free throw is made at the free throw line. What about the three-axe?
There is no solution, no matter how hard you fight, you will find it. Even if it doesn’t exist, you can grab it. In the last 58 seconds of the game, as Tony Allen stole the basketball from Harden's hand, and in the counterattack, assisted Mayo to rush to the basket and score two points, the Grizzlies chased the point difference to only 2 points. point.
The suspense of the game seems to be back. However, Westbrook and Durant, the explosive combination, used successive breakthroughs to rush to the basket, causing the Grizzlies to foul and get free throws.
In the end, the Grizzlies were beaten to death with a penalty kick. Randolph magically hit a three-pointer, 3 of 5 in the fourth quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 13 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, but he still did not complete the savior.
Buzz—! With the buzzer sounding and the light red, the game time is over. The score was 101 to 97. The Thunder had a 3-point advantage and narrowly defeated the Grizzlies. While giving their opponents a 2-game losing streak, they also extended their winning streak to 3 games.
Durant made 10 of 17 three-pointers, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 33 points, 4 assists, and 8 rebounds, and he was as strong as the scoring champion.
Su Bei made 8 of 13, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He efficiently scored 26 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds. His performance was mediocre.
Westbrook made 0 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 4 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, setting an embarrassing performance of not scoring a single point in a career sports game.
Randolph made 7 of 20, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 10 of 14 free throws, and scored 25 points and 14 rebounds. The data is good, but the efficiency is not high.
Gasol made 6 of 13 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 18 points and 13 rebounds. His performance was just okay.
Mayo made 12 of 25 shots, 1 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 27 points, 0 assists and 3 rebounds.
The Big Three of both sides, Hong Kong Real Estate, and the Grizzlies actually have better numbers. However, the efficiency is far inferior to that of the Thunder. In addition, the Thunder has a bench player like Harden who scored 18 points. Even if Westbrook stretches his hips again, the Thunder will still have the last laugh.
