The short pause ended and the game resumed. The Thunder were 2 points behind, with 4 minutes left before the end of the game, and the suspense was still there.
The key to winning is not to wait for your opponent to become soft, but to be tough yourself. Is it hard there? Asking is a life-hard decision!
Westbrook also thought so at this time.
"Coming to the frontcourt, Westbrook continued to play music, and then became reckless. He dribbled the ball and rushed up to meet the man. With Terry's block, he raised his hand and tried to make a zombie pull-up jumper..." Bang Dang ——!
Westbrook's offense still delivered. The basketball shot missed. If you try, you will die. What Lu Xun said has come true again.
Hong Kong, Westbrook climbed out of the sewer, but his head is hard, his head is hard, his shooting posture is hard... his scoring ability is really not hard!
Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to count, so he is a talented person, at the level of a crouching dragon and a young phoenix.
"The rebound was grabbed by Kidd. Why is it always Kidd? His performance was too eye-catching and comprehensive. Who would have thought that he could become the most handsome boy on the court. I mean? After getting the ball, he didn't waste time. According to the rhythm, the run-and-gun tactics started. This is what Marion is most familiar with. He took the lead and rushed to the frontcourt. As Kidd was walking, he pushed the basketball with both hands and sent it to the frontcourt. Marion got the basketball. It's just a pity that the hacker is still old! In the Suns era, when he took the ball and rushed, the only defense left in front of him was the basket. Now he has no speed, and he is followed back by Su Bei. He shoots one-on-one After Marion got the ball, he dribbled the ball for a layup. Su Bei fought and retreated, stood up under the basket and jumped up almost at the same time as Marion, blocking Marion's layup... "Clang-!"
Marion's forced attack to the basket was also successful despite Su Bei's interference. Su Bei's fingertips seemed to have slightly touched the basketball, causing the Mavericks' fast break counterattack and Marion's shot to be in vain.
Basketball is divided into two parts: offense and defense. Performance does not necessarily depend on scoring, defense is also very important.
As long as the defense doesn't lose points, ideally speaking, it won't lose. Of course, if you want to win, you have to look at the offense.
The rebound was taken by Harden, who rushed back. He immediately turned around and rushed forward without stopping, also using a run-and-gun tactic.
"The two sides hit each other and entered a chaotic situation. Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stepped down and dribbled continuously, changed back, European-stepped the ball for a layup, and saw Haywood sweeping over, Harden was like Seeing the big-butted beauty, those unicorn arms, holding the explosive bag, carrying Haywood's body to fight, and completed the layup under the basket..." Bang Dang -!
Beep——! The basketball was on the rim, turned half a circle, and still rolled out. The referee's whistle sounded at the same time. Harden failed to score the basketball, but got two free throw opportunities.
"Without Tyson Chandler's protection at the basket, the Mavericks' basket could not withstand the Thunder's impact. Harden failed to get a 3-point opportunity, but got two free throw opportunities..." Swish -!
Swish——! Standing on the free throw line, Harden, as the future King of Porcelain, faced the question of giving up points, showed no mercy and made both free throws.
93 to 93! With three and a half minutes left before the end of the game, the score difference between the two sides was back to the same starting line.
"The Mavericks are happy because they have rich experience, but they are worried that their physical fuel tank may be at the bottom. The Thunder are worried because they are too young, but they are happy that their physical fuel tank is definitely enough. In more than 3 minutes, it was over with gritted teeth. , for both sides, there is a chance to win, it depends on their performance in key battles..." Speaking of key battles!
Coach Carlisle's face on the sidelines was very calm. The question is that they have the No. 1 King in the fourth quarter and they don't panic.
Sure enough, Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately turned over Nowitzki's card without making any further moves. Outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left, Nowitzki held the ball, posed as an offensive three-threat, and singled out Durant.
"Lifting the ball and feinting, Durant was unmoved. He lifted the ball to explore, retracted his feet, feinted a shot, and drove the ball inward. Durant fought and retreated, blocking the frontcourt route... turned around and gave He hit his butt, arched his back, immediately shook his shoulders, turned around, lifted the ball a little, and Durant was knocked away. At some point, Su Bei rushed over to help block the shot, and Nowitzki shot. Following Su Bei's block, he raised his hand and hit a two-point pull-up jumper..." Su Bei's chaotic entry, although he was short and short-handed, blocked the ball and could not reach the basketball, but it disrupted Nowitzki's shot. Offensive rhythm.
Bang-dang——!
"Nowitzki's shot was also sent! The basketball bounced out of the rim! The Mavericks' offense is not over yet. Marion took advantage of Jiangbei's defense and at some point, he cut to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound. , Yin Baka quickly pressed over to block the offensive space and withstood Marion. But unfortunately, Nowitzki, who was facing the basket, rushed in, received Marion's selfless pass, and dribbled the ball to the basket..." Bang Dang - —!
Nowitzki dunked with both hands, made a second assist, sent the basketball into the basket, and scored two points. 95 to 93!
"Protecting the rim is also a problem for the Thunder! The Mavericks can't do it, and the Thunder can't do it either. The two sides have exchanged blows. The Mavericks regained the lead with Nowitzki's layup. Position, next, let’s see how the Thunder respond? Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, and instead of making a fuss, he handed the damn basketball into Durant’s hands and singled out Nowitzki. ..." The play was very simple. After the three threats took a step, they broke through with the ball and suddenly stopped and shot a two-point jumper.
This is to destroy Nowitzki! Bang-dang——!
"Durant played too simply, and his shots were missed. In the battle for rebounds, Yin Baka had the last laugh, grabbing the basketball in the frontcourt. Haywood pressed his body over, leaving no offensive space for a follow-up shot. . Su Bei cut in from the air, Yin Baka immediately distributed the ball, took the ball, European-stepped for a layup, broke through Haywood's defense, and dunked with both hands steadily..." Bang Dang -!
Su Bei's entire body hangs from the southeast corner. He copied what the Mavericks had just done and scored two points, continuing to hold on to the score.
"It's a matter of rebound protection and rim protection. Neither side did a good job and gave the other side a chance, and then each opened their scoring account. You come and go, and it's still a situation of mutual explosion..." 95 to 95 !
The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd continued to favor Nowitzki alone. After paddling for 8 minutes, it was finally time for Nowitzki to harvest the game.
It's still a triple threat, it's still a feint, it's still a breakthrough, and after being followed, it's another post-up.
"Hidden away from Durant, who was close to him. Nowitzki shook his shoulders, turned around, and lifted the ball. Durant didn't fly. He continued to shake, and finally it flew. He couldn't go back if he wanted to avoid it. Nowitzki hit him. Push Durant's body into the air, and then make a shooting motion..." Bang Dang -!
Beep——! The basketball missed the mark, but the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.
"This is to bully Durant for his lack of education and lack of experience! Nowitzki playing like this is obscene, but the victory is steady..." For a certain shark, free throws are a proposition.
For Nuo Tianwang, it is to give points. The home fans of the Thunder were booing, but without DeRozan's daughter's points, and being able to slow down the rhythm, it was of no use at all. Nowitzki swished twice and steadily made the free throw, two points. succeed.
97 to 95! Off the court, Scosbrooks didn't panic. At this time, the number of fouls committed by the Mavericks has already been reached. As long as the defensive foul is committed, the Thunder will also get free throw opportunities.
The Thunder can't defend it, and the Mavericks, to be fair, can't even try to defend it.
"Westbrook acted recklessly while dribbling the ball. Terry did not dare to foul, so he could only fight and retreat until Kidd helped defend. What the hell? Kidd seemed to have predicted Westbrook's move and blocked it. Westbrook, who was about to force a layup, cut the ball and easily completed the steal. I originally thought that Kidd's scoring was already very brave, but who would have thought that his defense was even braver than his scoring. This is Who is being unreasonable? Kidd rushed up to counterattack, Harden retreated quickly without any waves, waiting for his teammates... no, he handed the basketball to Marion who rushed back, cut into the basket, caught the ball and rushed to the basket, It was Su Bei again, standing up and completing the block interference. Bang Dang -! Marion's layup came back in vain! Su Bei was too familiar with Marion, and such a backstab made the Mavericks very uncomfortable. ! The Thunder can't help it! There was a mistake in the offense, and the rebound was snatched away again! Haywood defeated Yin Baka and won the frontcourt basketball. It was the Mavericks' offensive opportunity. Nowitzki rushed into the basket, After receiving the pass from Haywood, he immediately rushed to the basket. Durant was not used to him and followed closely, reaching out to block the shot..." Bang Dang -!
Beep——! As the basketball went in, the whistle sounded.
"A very nice 2+1! Nowitzki, Nowitzki again, the performance was too good, too incomprehensible. Nowitzki at the end of the fourth quarter cannot be offended! This is Nowitzki What are you going to do with Ky's exclusive time? You can't stand it! Durant's defense was blown away again..." At this time, the Thunder's home court was brought to a standstill.
I vaguely felt the despair of touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals last season. Swish——! Nowitzki, however, would not show mercy. Faced with the score question, he continued to win easily and scored 3 points successfully.
100 to 95! The point difference became 5 points. At this time, there were still 3 minutes left before the end of the game. There was still enough time left for the Thunder.
However, in the next game, the Thunder's home fans saw another desperate scene. I saw Westbrook, the second in charge of the Thunder, dribbling the ball again without thinking, and then nothing happened.
"Oh my God! It was Kidd's steal again. He helped defend, reached out to cut the ball, and stole the basketball as if he were entering his own home to get something that belonged to him. This defensive skill is so awesome! Kidd became more and more amazing as he played. It's what the Thunder didn't predict. Adding to the fourth quarter, Nowitzki has no solution, and the Thunder are in danger! Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Nowitzki got stuck and wanted to go around to defend. Durant. What the hell? What is Kidd doing? He was too unsteady. He suddenly jumped up and shot a three-pointer. The shot was very determined..." Harden was careless, no. When he stepped out to block the shot, he didn't expect that Kidd was so ungrateful and so ambitious that he actually wanted to kill the game with a sneak three-pointer!
Unstable is not stable, but Harden can only listen to the gunshot, betting that there are no bullets in Kidd's three-point pistol.
Bang-dang——!
"No! The three-point shot flew out of the basket! What a pity. Kidd's shot was very thoughtful and was completely aimed at killing the game. It was just that the three-point shot missed a hundred million points. The Thunder escaped. If Kidd had Germany scored this goal, and the Thunder were 8 points behind. It would be difficult to catch up..." Ji Buhang is still the same boy as before, without any change.
The shooting problem is still with him throughout his life. The rebound was picked off by Su Bei, and he immediately rushed up to defend and counterattack.
Facing the super gods Nowitzki and Kidd
"Double base" combination. He also encountered the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix combination of Du Shao and Wei Shao. Su Bei felt mentally shattered!
Is this what the core players of a championship team should look like? The Mavericks' internal and external core, compared to the Thunder's internal and external core, is simply a world away.
The only advantage the Thunder have is age. There is no way, no one can stop time, the enemy of love.
"Su Bei rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, without looking for anyone from the Thunder. Facing Marion's top defense, he smashed in with his back. His technique was not smooth, but he got in anyway. He shook his shoulders, turned around, and pulled up. Raising his hand is a two-point fadeaway jumper..." Marion's defense was to the extreme, and he extended his hand to Su Bei's face, basically blocking Su Bei's sight. The memory of Su Bei's basic jump, Then, go by feel.
Swish——! With the knife in hand, Su Bei attacked Marion with his back and hit two key points, stopping the bleeding in time for the Thunder.
"Beautiful goal! Su Bei played the ball very hard. He used his back-up skills, which are not superb, to send the basketball into the basket. This kind of ability is what the two young men of the Thunder lack now. Especially in defense, Su Bei Bei also did a great job. When the Thunder were cheating people with both young men, Su Bei stood up and withstood the Mavericks' offensive..." 100 to 97!
The score difference is only 3 points! The game was not taken away from the Mavericks! …
