Even though Durant was almost completely dumb in the third quarter, Danteley still emphasized during the break that Durant should be targeted to death at all costs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the guy who averages the most points per game in the entire NBA league, Durant's scoring ability is unquestionable. Dantley doesn't care if Van Gundy will put smoke bombs again, he would rather let Westbrook or Angel score a few more than let Durant, the scoring champion, open!

Facts have proved that at least Dantley's decision this time is completely correct. The current Durant is like Kobe Bryant is to the Lakers, and James is to the Cavaliers. Even if he can't shoot, the manager will choose to continue to trust him. Putting a scoring champion and not letting him attack, except for the occasional tactical need, is really unreasonable.

However, with Anthony and his teammates working together, Durant's offensive efficiency did not improve in the slightest. As soon as the game opened, Durant put in a very difficult shot against Anthony's face-sealed defense, but this kind of ball only appeared once.

In the next three attacks, the ball still hit Durant's hands. But unfortunately, after the last three shots, Durant hit all the iron.

While the Thunder's scoring pace was temporarily stalled, the Nuggets weren't idle. J.R. Smith took seven shots in the first three quarters without scoring a single goal, and just when Sephorosa began to let his guard down on the nerve knife, he began to exert his power.

J.R first threw in a three-pointer under Sefrosa's negligence, and then faked a real shot to create a foul on Morris.

The foul not only gave J.R two free throws, but also brought Morris's foul count to four. If the Nuggets continue to be resolute on the inside, then Morris is likely to be sent off early.

With J.R. Smith hitting both free throws steadily, the Nuggets were closing the score again. 90-87, for the Nuggets, who have improved on both offensive and defensive ends, the three-point gap is not to be feared at all!

"Durant played a good half, and although he could still score in the second half, it was too inefficient. Once a player of Carmelo Antony's caliber starts to defend seriously, he will definitely have a tough matchup. Even the scoring champion is difficult to make a difference with such defense. Mike Brin began to analyze the problems of the Thunder for the audience, and at the same time, he was expecting others who were doing well to withstand the Nuggets' counterattack.

Anthony is now more hungry than ever, so while he struggles to defend Durant, he also does the same thing on the offensive end.

There are 82 games in the regular season, and even if you don't fight this game, there are still many next games that you can make up for. However, in the playoffs, every game is crucial, if you don't fight this game, when you want to work hard, maybe you will have to wait for the next year.

Moreover, after this game, the Nuggets will travel to Oklahoma City to play two away games. When the time comes, the game will only get harder. So at his home stadium, at PepsiCo, Anthony hopes to be able to get the team to go to Russian City with a 2-0 scoreline.

Durant is completely dumbfounded because his breakthrough is not very good. If the shooting space is sealed, then with Anthony's physical fitness, Durant has little means to score.

However, Anthony is different, even if Durant doesn't give him space to shoot, he can still use the breakthrough to create damage and use the breakthrough to get opportunities.

"Toot toot. The referee's hurried whistle reminded me again, it was Morris, who had only been playing two minutes into the fourth quarter and was saddled with his fifth foul.

"Oh, my God. Morris waved his fist into the air unwillingly, he will not reason with the referee now, he will not apply for a technical foul for himself. Let the Nuggets make an extra free throw, he doesn't do that kind of thing.

"If you're going to blow so hard, then a lot of the Nuggets' balls can be blown for fouls!" Van Gundy still complained to the referee "politely", and the referee's blowing scale in this game was extremely unbalanced. A lot of balls that can be blown or not blown to the Thunder are fouls, but there is no when they go to the Nuggets. If Popovich or Sloan had been replaced, the referee would have been "cordially" greeted by his family.

"Sergi, you go!" Van Gundy didn't dare to take any chances, but he decided to let Ibaka go up for a while.

"Hey, listen. No matter who you are, when you attack, I want you to open up space. Remember, it's not about pinning down, it's about opening up space!" Before Ibaka came on the field, Van Gundy suddenly grabbed the Congolese who did not disappoint him and whispered.

'Serge Ibaka is on the pitch and the rookie was really good today. Yes, he didn't score a few points, and he only grabbed a few rebounds under the protection of An Jie. But this guy has already made 6 blocks today!6 times, more than Angel!" Mike Brin was impressed by Ibaka's defense, a player who is actually good but always underrated for not being dazzling.

The insolent Kenyon Martin and Chris Anderson paid the price for their underdogs. This Ibaka flies no shorter than them!

Anthony hit two free throws again, and Anthony is shooting 100 percent from the free-throw line so far today.

Even though Durant was dumb in the second half, he still had a higher shooting percentage than Anthony. But Anthony used his breakthrough ability to make his scoring data not inferior to Durant. The 03 generation has begun to slowly rule the league, and Durant still looks too immature in front of Anthony.

Relying on free throws, Anthony led the Nuggets to narrow the gap step by step. If no one else stands up and carries the offensive banner, it will only be a matter of time before the Nuggets turn the game.

After Serge Ibaka pulled Kenyon Martin out of the three-second zone, both Westbrook and Anjie were given a lot of space to attack. And the two didn't waste their chances, with Durant on the side, Westbrook and Anjie continuing to make the Thunder's scoring up.

But after Billups repeatedly allowed Westbrook to break through easily, Dantley couldn't let this gaffe continue to develop, no matter how poor his on-the-spot command was. He decisively let Afflaro and Billups switch positions, and this arrangement also played a certain limiting role.

As a player with a similar style of play, although Afflaro's defense is not as good as Sefrosa's, that kind of dogskin plaster-like sticking also makes Westbrook very uncomfortable.

Once Westbrook is stuck in a hurry, his threat will be greatly reduced. After all, the shooting stability of this zero guard is not much better than that of J.R. Smith.

Now, Morris is plagued by fouls, Durant is completely frozen by Anthony, and Westbrook is out of threat thanks to Afflalo's efforts. Now Dantley only needs to solve the last problem, and the Nuggets can win. And this last question is none other than Anjie!

Under the Nuggets' high-density and high-intensity outside defense, Anjie has become Van Gundy's only option. However, in the fourth quarter of the game, Van Gundy didn't have a clue about how efficient the fierce interior hand-to-hand combat could be.

Don't look at the regular season, An Jie's physical strength will never have problems, but this is the playoffs, and the physical consumption of the playoffs is several times that of the regular season.

Especially in the case of the Nuggets' desperate impact on the inside, An Jie needs to expend a lot of physical strength on the defensive end, and now it is really difficult for him to shoulder the heavy responsibility on the offensive end.

The ups and downs in Anjie's chest did become very large, and in the regular season, he rarely felt so tired.

Sweat trickled down his cheeks and down his chin, and he just shook his head before raising his hand again for the ball.

"Are you still coming!?" An Jie consumes a lot, so how good can Nene, who has fought against An Jie in this game. The Brazilian's runs are getting slower and slower. But this Brazilian, like Anjie, never knew what it meant to give up.

He tried his best to get around the front of the defense, hoping to block Anjie's receiving route. But today, he still underestimated the tacit understanding and understanding between Westbrook and Anjie.

An Jie's height and arm span are something that Nene can't envy, and Westbrook's high pass is also specially tailored for An Jie.

Nene wanted to jump up and intercept the ball in the middle of the game, but the Brazilian couldn't get off the ground at all due to Anjie's interference.

Seeing the basketball fly over his head around his fingertips, Nene hurriedly put pressure behind him, hoping that An Jie would not be able to catch the ball either.

However, Westbrook's just right pass really fell into the hands of Anjie, because Nene went around the front defense, Anjie was able to directly face the unguarded basket after getting the ball. He didn't hesitate, his legs jerked hard, and he raised his arms up the basketball towards the basket.

Not to be outdone, Nene found that his jump height and bounce speed were not as strong as they had been at the beginning. If you want to block An Jie's dunk, this height is far from enough.

There was a bang on the basket and Anjie scored two more points on the Brazilian's head.

"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer. Van Gundy knew Anjie was exhausted, but he couldn't make a substitution. If there is a substitution, it will be equivalent to taking the last scoring point of the Thunder team. The playoffs are like that, there is no choice but to persevere.

An Jie's headband was already soaked, so he took off the headband and threw it off the field during the defense process. This scene naturally did not escape the pursuit of the camera, and this tenacious No. 16 center forward is planning to fight to the end.

Anthony and Anjie dominated the fourth quarter, and the two of them went back and forth, allowing the Nuggets and Thunder to alternate scores.

During an Anthony breakout, Anjie was knocked down by a small melon. This collision made An Jie feel that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

He lay on the wooden floor, his eyes full of blinding light. If it weren't for Westbrook and Durant to pull herself, Anjie could have really been lying here for the night.

But not now, he can't do that. The battle is not over, he must continue to fight!

Ann shook Nene once again and jumped to the frame! Ann is really tired, otherwise this ball will definitely be able to score three points!"

"Carmelo Anthony squeezed away Anjie and forced a layup! Good ball, the difference was forced to close to three points again! Anjie played the whole fourth quarter of the game, and he had no strength!"

All signs indicate that An Jie's physical strength has long been exhausted, but the game will be over in three minutes. If you can't bite at this time, the efforts of the first three quarters of the game will be in vain.

The tempo of the two teams is getting slower and slower, and the efficiency is getting lower and lower. But the fans are more and more energetic.

In the last 43 seconds, An Jie ran to the low post again to hold the ball. This time, Kenyon Martin decided to take a gamble. He ignored Ibaka, who was pulled to the middle distance, and instead ran to meet Nene to get to Anjie.

An overdrawn Anjie came close to a mistake under the trap of Nene and Martin, but he barely managed to get it out before he could lose control of the ball.

There was no precision left in the pass, and Ibaka had to move a long step to catch the ball.

Now, Ibaka is just one step inside the three-point line, which is beyond his most dangerous shot. Martin's defense was a little absent-minded, and Ibaka did not hesitate to make a decisive move.

Just because Ibaka isn't the most dangerous shooting range doesn't mean Ibaka doesn't have a shooting percentage at this position. Of all the Thunder's interior shots, Ibaka has the farthest shooting range, even surpassing Anjie and Kostic, and can extend beyond the three-point line.

"Brush. 'Martin paid the price for his leak, with Anjie setting up Ibaka's crucial goal. 114-111, the Thunder ushered in the Nuggets' last offense with a three-point lead!

The tense timeout ended quickly, and the Nuggets were still controlled by Billups. He looked at J.R. Smith and Anthony, and even though he was experienced, he couldn't help but get nervous.

The two men were guarded to the point that they didn't even have room to take a step, and seeing that the clock was about to run out, Billups made a hard pass, ready for Anthony to catch the ball.

Anthony tried to run in the direction of the ball, but Durant stretched out his long arm and broke the pass.

Now both sides had the opportunity to control the ball, but Billups, who still had a hand, picked up the ball first.

Anthony saw Billups receive the ball and took advantage of the situation to block it, so he completed a pick-and-roll with him.

3 seconds! Billups jumped and shot just past the pick-and-roll, Westbrook tried his best to interfere, but with Anthony's block, Westbrook could only look at the basketball in Billups' hand.

"There it is!" Billups was overjoyed as he threw the ball. The feel of the shot and the pace of the shot are Billups' favorites!

Just when all the fans at the Pepsi Center raised their arms and prepared to celebrate Billups saving the team, in front of the eyes of this former FMVP, a dark shadow suddenly came out!
