The Thunder bench before overtime.
Durant stepped forward and took the responsibility: "My problem, I should be able to make this shot."
Zhao Chen directly retorted: "It's not that you can make the shot, it's that you should distribute the ball."
Zhao Chen was very dissatisfied with the situation where he failed to catch the ball when he had such a good opportunity.
It's not that Durant didn't notice him, but he clearly saw him, but still chose this unreasonable shot.
Zhao Chen stopped talking after quarreling with Durant. This was purely a way of venting.
In the last quarter, the three of them took turns playing singles to close the game. Zhao Chen was also furious. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept that the chance to end the game was missed like this.
Seeing Zhao Chen's words, the other Thunder players fell silent.
The fight between the two big guys is something that no small soldier can afford to interfere with.
Durant didn't say anything, and he was at a disadvantage because he didn't make a shot.
Finally, another big guy, Westbrook, stood up and said: "It's useless to complain. Now we have to work hard to play in overtime."
Westbrook patted Zhao Chen and Durant at the same time, and his intention to persuade them to make peace was clear.
Zhao Chen and Durant both nodded...
Brooks also watched this scene calmly.
Seeing that Third Young Master solved the problem by himself, he came out and started to lay out tactics.
Brooks believes that the Thunder have passed the stage of young guys, and if there are problems, they need to solve them internally.
"In overtime, Russell mainly held the ball, Zhao assisted, and Zhao continued to play without the ball. Of course, Zhao also had to hold the ball when necessary..."
In the overtime lineup, Zhao Chen still mainly plays without the ball. There is no way. Playing with Durant and Westbrook, someone has to play without the ball.
It's impossible for Westbrook to play, right? Durant can play occasionally, but his lethality is not as strong as with the ball. That is why Zhao Chen can maintain huge lethality without the ball as with the ball.
Soon, the tactical arrangements for overtime were completed.
Overtime begins.
The Thunder still sent a combination of one large and four small, but Sefolosha was replaced by Robertson.
After a whole game of verification, Brooks feels that this lineup is the fastest, has the best defense, and can best unleash the offensive firepower of the Thunder's Big Three.
Robertson's defense is better than that of Sefolosha. He also has no three-point shooting ability and will not rush to take shots. This will allow the offensive ball rights to be concentrated on the Big Three, which will lead to higher offensive efficiency.
Ibaka and Hibbert's overtime jump ball.
When the game reached overtime, you could see that Hibbert was also out of breath.
The 28CM Ibaka is obviously more durable, but I just wiped away the sweat.
Ibaka jumped the ball to Westbrook.
Westbrook was staggered by Hill's pressing defense. Westbrook quickly gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
It was Stephenson who was chasing Zhao Chen.
The junior brother is obviously very interested in Zhao Chen, and this game has already demonstrated Zhao Chen's strength.
The junior brother kept pestering Zhao Chen, trying to hold him down.
Zhao Chen turned around to protect the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen had no ink marks and immediately asked his teammates to pull away.
Although the tactic is to play without the ball, it is also determined based on the situation.
"boom!"
A hand change under the crotch followed by a pause, shook the junior brother away, and dived to the right with the ball.
The junior brother's defense was too forward, and Zhao Chen completely swayed his defense away with a single move.
Zhao Chen took a sudden step!
When the junior brother thought that Zhao Chen was about to break through, Zhao Chen took a large step back again.
The junior brother wanted to continue following Zhao Chen's pace, but neither his physical strength nor his consciousness allowed it.
"boom!"
The whole person collapsed!
Knocked down!
"Oh oh oh!"
The fans at the scene exclaimed.
Faced with such an open position, Zhao Chen would naturally not miss the opportunity.
The knife falls from the hand! !
Score three points! !
"Uh-huh!"
120 to 117.
"Knocking people down, awesome!!"
"If there is no solution, if you step back, you will be hanging!"
"If Durant had Zhao Chen's retreat, he would be even more invincible."
"Zhao Chen relies on technology, and Durant relies on talent."
"The Pacers don't dare to attack from a flank now."
The fans are very excited.
The Zhao Chen now is completely different from the Zhao Chen they first met.
Zhao Chen's basic technical skills are very good.
One can imagine how much effort Zhao Chen put in behind the scenes.
This is the self-destruction of the fans....
Brooks kept applauding off the court. The Thunder's offense has never been a problem, mainly their defense. The Thunder's defense is limited by physical fitness, and everyone's defensive enthusiasm is not too high.
Westbrook is the most energetic player on the court, and he keeps pressing on Hill.
Paul George felt a huge pressure after watching Zhao Chen sway Stephenson and hit a step-back three-pointer.
He didn't expect that Zhao Chen could still perform such difficult technical moves even when his physical fitness reached such a limit.
The step back is not an ordinary skill.
Many players' retreat steps are difficult to dazzle others, but Zhao Chen's retreat step is obviously not that type.
Once such a ball is scored, it is a huge blow to the Pacers' defensive confidence.
Stephenson is very frustrated now.
Hill continued to organize tactics in the frontcourt.
This time it was given to Paul George.
Paul George and Hibbert's pick-and-roll.
Hibbert blocked Durant, and Durant didn't choose to go around the defense. George had a good shot space.
A high mid-range jump shot after the pick and roll.
"Uh-huh!"
Paul George was in great shape today. Facing the challenges from Durant and Zhao Chen, he looked very motivated.
120 to 119.
The baseline ball is launched.
The Thunder immediately launched a fast break.
Westbrook gets the ball and hits it.
Zhao Chen and Durant ran at the same time.
Westbrook's impact speed is top-notch, and it takes almost only three seconds to reach the opponent's inside.
But the Pacers are not slow to retreat. The inside line is already in place, just to prevent Westbrook from rushing to the frame.
Zhao Chen is on the left and Durant is on the right.
Zhao Chen was open first, and Westbrook threw the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen catches the ball and shoots!
Quick three points!
The knife falls from the hand!
"Uh-huh!"
123 to 119.
Zhao Chen's consecutive three-pointers stopped the momentum at home again! !
"Beautiful pass!" Zhao Chen rushed over and gave Westbrook a high-five, and then the two began a new round of defense!
The Thunder's pressing was effective.
Hill made a mistake while dribbling, and Westbrook stole the ball.
After Westbrook stole the ball, his eyes still shot out of the frame.
But Zhao Chen knew that Westbrook was going to pass the ball.
Zhao Chen quickly ran to the right corner.
Westbrook made a difficult pass directly to Zhao Chen without looking behind his head.
This ball was passed too wildly.
After Zhao Chen adjusted his catching touch, he took a sideways step, shook away Stephenson who was rushing towards him, and then made a three-pointer!
"Shua!!"
126 to 119.
The whole Pacers team was a little confused. Zhao Chen's three-pointer came so sharply and suddenly.
Three-point three-hit combo! !
"Timeout!!!" Coach Vogel directly shouted to stop the game.
After entering overtime, the Pacers collapsed.
"Westbrook is Zhao Chen's true brother."
"It's just three points to feed Zhao Chen, believe Zhao Chen!!"
"This is brother basketball."
Fans on the Internet are aware of the internal problems among the three giants.
The relationship between the three people is vividly reflected in this game!
