........
After the start of the second quarter, Zhao Chen enjoyed Battier's behind-the-back defense and the Heat's flanking defense.
Zhao Chen also distributed the ball to his teammates many times.
Adams continues to succeed.
Battier was very depressed. Zhao Chen's continuous scoring was enough to show that his defensive strategy had been cracked.
The defense behind this is useless!
The second quarter lasted 4 minutes, and the Thunder firmly had the upper hand.
After entering the starting time, Zhao Chen was replaced, and Westbrook and Durant continued to come up.
Westbrook and Durant were not as sluggish as in the first quarter, but began to gradually regain their rhythm.
After all, the two are super giant-level players, and it is impossible for the Heat to completely suppress them.
James and Bosh also continued to produce efficiently, and the two teams fell into a tug-of-war.
The game soon came to the end of the quarter, and the score came to 55 to 60.
The Thunder still have the initiative, and Zhao Chen got this score advantage when he led the second team.
With 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the first half, Zhao Chen continued to play, partnering with Durant and Westbrook.
Back against the Heat.
James advances with the ball.
Durant defends.
Durant's advantage in defending James lies in his height, wingspan and footwork.
Bosh sets a pick-and-roll for James, and James breaks through with the ball.
James is at the peak of his career and he is very confident in his physical impact.
But this time.
The Thunder's Big Three did not give up their defense against James easily.
Durant chased from behind.
Westbrook and Zhao Chen flanked each other.
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
It's all a collision of muscle and talent.
If compared purely with physical talent and core strength, none of the Thunder's Big Three are as strong as James individually.
But if the three of them attack James together, James will also suffer a big loss! !
During the confrontation, James was bumped by Westbrook and Durant. In the end, Zhao Chen completely defeated James in this confrontation.
"Ohhhhh!!!"
The fans at the scene kept cheering. This feeling of a superstar's desperate defense is very beautiful.
James was knocked to the ground by the Thunder's Big Three.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, it was purely physical.
James lay on the ground, almost unable to catch his breath.
In the chaos, the basketball hit James' foot and went out of bounds.
The referee gave the Thunder the ball, and Spoelstra was constantly arguing with the referee on the sidelines. He thought the Thunder's defensive actions were too large.
"Well done, Russell, you have a strong shoulder," Durant said.
"Don't blame me, Zhao's direct charge is tough." Westbrook said.
"Hey, let's fight this guy." Zhao Chen said
Durant, Westbrook, and Zhao Chen constantly exchanged their experiences on defeating James.
James is the common enemy of the three.
James rested on the ground for a while before getting up.
James also spread his hands towards the referee, indicating that this was not a foul.
To be honest, it really hurt...
This is the home court of the Thunder, and the referee did not change the penalty easily.
Thunder side kick.
Westbrook jumped excitedly and dribbled the ball across half court.
"Defense!" James quickly deployed his defense.
Zhao Chen admired James's ability to control his emotions very much, and he was not angry at all after being treated like this.
James has made a huge improvement on both ends of the Heat's offense and defense.
The defensive intensity of Heat players has increased.
Zhao Chen and Durant's pick-and-roll attack.
After the pick-and-roll, Zhao Chen passed the ball to Durant.
Durant pulls out the ball!
At this time, it was Norris Cole who switched to Durant's side.
Cole's height of less than 1.9 meters cannot interfere with Durant in the slightest.
"Uh-huh!"
Durant simply hit a three-pointer.
Zhao Chen's assists came in waves.
55 to 63.
"Durant's three-pointer came from Zhao Chen's assist. When these two people formed a pick-and-roll cooperation, there were really too many offensive moves they could use." Kenny Smith said.
"Yes, both of them are the league's top attackers. As long as there is a mismatch, the opponent will be greeted by a violent storm." Barkley said.
"Don't let him shoot, don't worry about his breakthrough." James told Cole in the past.
To be honest, James is a little envious of Zhao Chen and Durant's shooting abilities.
As long as you shoot accurately, you can score easily.
Heat offense.
James advances with the ball.
Now the Thunder has widened the point difference to 8 points, and the score has reached a critical moment.
At critical moments in the game, the Heat's ball rights will be completely in James' hands.
Durant defends James.
The defensive success in the previous round made Durant feel very relieved.
Even if he was passed, he knew there were two teammates behind him.
Zhao Chen and Westbrook will attack James like crazy.
James did not use a cover in this round and chose to continue to attack the inside after changing direction.
Durant was pushed forward on James's back, and Zhao Chen and Westbrook pounced directly on him.
"boom!"
"boom!"
After continuous confrontation, James was knocked down again.
This time, James was fucked a bit badly, and he lay down for more than ten seconds before getting up.
Fortunately, the referee also whistled for Zhao Chen's obstruction.
James got a chance to get to the free throw line.
Seeing James being bullied, Wade rushed over: "Farke, are you playing ball?"
Westbrook faced Wade and fired back: "If you can't stand the intensity, get out."
Here, Westbrook will not respect the old and favor the young, he is very tough.
James stopped Wade, who wanted to continue to make trouble, and chose to endure it.
This game is destined to be more difficult than ordinary games, and their opponents will not let them go easily.
"This is what we have to do." Westbrook said to Zhao Chen.
"Yeah." Zhao Chen nodded.
As long as he doesn't hurt his opponents and continues to improve his defensive intensity, this is the attitude Westbrook hopes to show.
Otherwise there is no way to beat the Heat.
James made two solid free throws.
57 to 63.
Thunder's offensive possession.
Zhao Chen still plays pick-and-roll with Durant.
After the pick-and-roll, Durant didn't get any shooting space, so Zhao Chen chose to beat James by himself.
James was wary of Zhao Chen's retreat and did not dare to completely focus on guarding against Zhao Chen's breakthrough.
But this time Zhao Chen really made a breakthrough.
Zhao Chen passed James directly and hit the inside.
Anderson and Lewis's double attack.
Zhao Chen, who broke through from the right, threw the ball high before the flank was completely closed! !
to whom?
Westbrook, who started to accelerate and cut in from outside the three-point line, jumped into the air!
Westbrook took off and dunked the basketball with one hand at the highest point of Zhao Chen's high throw, and then slashed towards the basket! ! !
After Zhao Chen saw this scene, he immediately turned around and opened his hands to celebrate! ! !
"frame!!!"
Westbrook bent his body to the limit, grabbed the ball and abused the frame! !
57 to 65.
"Wei Zhao connection"! !
After this kind of alley-oop between the two defenders, it showed a shocking visual effect.
It was so hot that the fans cheered.
"Kakakaka!!"
This scene was recorded by the camera.
