Chapter 229: Life hangs by a thread

"Don't worry, 11 isn't much! No matter how good James is, he is still a human being, and he can't be so efficient anymore when he consumes too much in the second half! kd! In the third quarter, you will beat me according to James and drag him down for me! With 11 points trailing, Van Gundy didn't look unfazed. www.biquge.info basketball game has to be played for at least 48 minutes, and only when the lead is at the end of the 48th minute can it be called a victory.

"Ann, stay behind KD at all times, if James breaks through Durant, it's up to you! Don't worry about O'Neill, leave it to Morris. ”

After some arrangement, the Thunder will be full of confidence, even if they are now trailing the Cavaliers by double digits.

As soon as Van Gundy pushed open the locker room door, the noisy cheers of the fans at the Quickloan Arena jumped into Anjie's ears.

Although the Quickloan Arena can only accommodate more than 20,000 spectators, their cheers are not as small as those of any other stadium. The Cavaliers are in great shape this season, and Cleveland fans have high hopes for them.

Prior to Kobe, the Cavaliers had won 23 straight games at home this season, a record that was not broken until Kobe Bryant and his Purple and Gold stepped foot in the Quick-Loan Arena. It can be said that the Quick Loan Arena has become a veritable home of the devil.

Now he has an 11-point lead over the hot Thunder at halftime, which makes Cleveland fans full of confidence.

"Damn, make them look good in the second half!" Morris clenched his fists and shut up the home fans with an away win is his favourite thing to do.

"Let's go, Morris, let's go!" Anjie hammered Morris's arm, and the Thunder's interior defense in the second half will be as hard as a steel plate!

....................

James held his knees, panting. Only when a teammate makes a free throw does he have a chance to take a break.

He's tired, and the all-powerful "little emperor" in the hearts of Cleveland fans is really tired.

With just over four minutes into the third quarter, James clearly felt less energetic than he had in the first half.

"O'Neal missed another two free throws, and Morris's foul was worth it." As O'Neal missed the free throw again, Anje grabbed the rebound and then quickly handed the ball to Westbrook, who didn't stop and hurried forward.

The Thunder are unconsciously speeding up the pace of offensive and defensive transitions, the purpose is to make James tired!

"Ann leaned on O'Neal again, and Durant was constantly running through the position."

Again, O'Neill was once again up against the emaciated No. 16. He had to admit that this guy, who looked half his size, made it very difficult for him to fight.

Anjie began to push back, but O'Neill didn't move. No way, weight and strength are there, this is a gap that Anjie can't make up for at present.

But O'Neill knew that Anjie was not so easy to be prevented, and he was afraid of Anjie's frame, because today Anjie had repeatedly scored goals in front of O'Neal.

What are you afraid of, An Jie will naturally fight according to what. After two hits to no effect, An Jie turned around and walked towards the basket, attacking with a frame!

With the previous experience, this time O'Neill moved his steps in advance, so he was able to resist An Jie with his chest, making his breakthrough blocked.

"Got you, boy!" The corners of O'Neill's mouth curled slightly, and he finally guarded it down once!

But Anjie would not give up so easily, after the training of Divac and Olajuwon, plus he has been playing in the NBA for a year and a half, Anjie has many offensive methods.

Seeing that O'Neal couldn't break through, An Jie suddenly turned around with the ball in both hands, and let himself carry the basket again. But this time he didn't want to fight with O'Neal, as soon as he carried the basket, before O'Neal could react, An Jie hooked his hand to attack the frame, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

"In this game, An Jie spared no effort and took out all the things he knew! How many different ways have we seen him attack? Except for the three-point shot, An Jie has come to everything! ”

"What the......" O'Neal unwillingly picked up the basketball from the ground, is it really impossible to prevent it? This 20-year-old guy is so powerful?

In fact, this is due to O'Neal's excessive requirements for himself, Anjie was actually very uncomfortable defended by O'Neal, and failed to score several low-post attacks. But in O'Neal's mind, his defense should be better than it is now.

With AnJie scoring again with a hook hand, the difference between the Thunder and the Cavaliers has also changed from 11 points at the beginning to 5 points now.

James is still very active, but the efficiency is more than one and a half stars worse than the one in the first half. Due to the huge physical exertion, James chose to shoot more times from the outside, but the shooting rate was not ideal.

What about Durant? With enough energy, he frantically consumed the physical strength of the "little emperor". Even when Anjie and O'Neal are playing alone, he doesn't stop interspersing with movements.

Is Durant tired? Tired. But you must know that James, who was overconsumed in the first half, is even more tired!

The Thunder were in control of the situation throughout the third quarter, and the Thunder bench lineup after being scolded by Van Gundy also played extremely hard.

Watching James panting on the field, Mike. Brown also had to opt to replace James from the game. If it weren't for O'Neill and Daniel. Gibbs still has some points, and the Cavaliers may have collapsed long ago.

As Van Gundy expected, James, who had performed well in the first half, was completely out of shape in the third quarter. The Thunder took the opportunity to play a single quarter with a score of 35-21!

81-77, the Thunder, who were originally 11 points behind, not only equalized the score, but also overtook by 4 points. The cheers at the Quickloan Arena weren't as loud as they were at the start of the lower half, as the Cavaliers were once again pushed to the edge of a cliff.

"Durant, Anjie, Westbrook, these three didn't perform the best today this season, but at least the three of them worked at the same time again! The Cavaliers will play harder in the fourth quarter, and Cleveland fans are hoping that James has had enough rest. ”

"Even if James gets enough rest, it's still hard for the Cavaliers to play. Today's O'Neal is already a small outburst, but even so, the Cavaliers are still behind! ”

At halftime, all the commentators were praising the Cavaliers and watching the Thunder. Now, it's all the other way around. The Thunder team was once again praised to the altar, and the Cavaliers, the first in the East, instantly became a lot weaker in the mouth of the commentator.

The game had to go in an anxious direction in the end, with four points and a fourth quarter, although Thunder fans and Cavaliers fans were very reluctant to see such a situation. But for neutral fans and commentators, it couldn't be better.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James was still off the court, but after just over two minutes of rest, he was back on the court.

In those two minutes, the Thunder couldn't pull away because O'Neal's defense on the inside made the Thunder's offense very hindered.

"O'Neill really fights! The 37-year-old veteran is really playing with An Jie on the field! Although Yu Jia is on An Jie's side, he also has to admire O'Neill's spirit at this moment.

O'Neal spared no effort to defend Anjie, he knew that his playing time was not as much as Anjie's, so in this limited time, O'Neal tried his best to help the team win.

Anjie did stop his offensive pace under O'Neal's crazy defense, but fortunately, Sephorosa and Durant's outside touch was good, which continued the Thunder's scoring momentum.

Once again, the two sides were inextricably linked, and the further back on, the more worried Van Gundy became. No coach wants to see the team play key balls, everyone wants the victory to be in their hands early.

But it backfired, and in the last minute and 20 seconds of the game, Westbrook hit a pull-up jump shot that made the score 95-94, and the Thunder are now only one point ahead!

"Pause, pause!" Mike. Brown quickly used up a timeout, and with the last minute and a half, it was time for him to set up something.

After returning from a timeout, James took the lead and forced the inside to cause a foul on Durant.

95 to 96.

Anjie threw a shot over Valejo's head, and the Brazilian fell to the ground after making physical contact with Anjie, but the referee ignored it.

97 to 96.

James borrowed Vallejo's pick-and-roll three-pointer, and O'Neal, who was off the bench, stood up with his arms held high. Sure enough, James' three-point shot hollowed into the net, and the Quick-Loan Arena erupted into enthusiastic shouts.

“mvp! mvp! mvp! James is once again the focus of the Quick-Loan Arena, with the MVP shouting endlessly.

97 to 99. In the final 23 seconds, the Thunder trailed by two points!

"To win the game, the Thunder have to hit a three-pointer. At least today, Mike. Brown didn't have to worry too much about Angel. ”

"This is not necessarily, you must know that the physical strength of the little emperor James is very problematic now. If Coach Van Gundy had scored just two points and dragged the game into overtime, the Thunder would have a big chance of winning. ”

Crucial moments always evoke endless reverie, and Van Gundy's set-up of tactics is not much easier than the players who are about to execute them. His arrangement is also an important factor in the outcome of the game.

"Russell!" Van Gundy knew that James' ability to defend the last was excellent, and it was dangerous to continue to use Durant to execute the last shot. Today, there are only people who use something different.

"No problem! I got it! "Westbrook has been in the groove of two games, and the outside world has scolded him for not being presentable. Westbrook had a great performance today, scoring 20 points and shooting 54 percent from the field. It would be even better to finish the game with one more stunner.

"Kevin, you're here to feint and get the attention of the Cavaliers. Quiet! Pick-and-roll, you know what to do. After watching ...... assign tasks, Van Gundy began to write and draw on the tactical board.

"Beep!" There was a loud bang that brought the Thunder players back on the court.

"Watch the time, Kevin! Watch the time! "The Thunder players went on the court, and Van Gundy made one final reminder.

Morris neatly sent the ball out of the sideline, and Durant lost time with the ball.

"Sure enough, the Thunder team still chose KD as the endpoint!" The commentators are surprisingly unanimous.

There are still ten seconds left, An Jie blocked up, Durant started to start, James quickly bypassed An Jie's blocking, and did not give Durant half a step of space!

Five seconds! Durant jumped, and everyone thought he was going to shoot. Unexpectedly, the basketball suddenly turned and came to Westbrook.

"Westbrook is the deadly knife!" Everyone exclaimed, including Mike, who had witnessed countless big scenes. Brin.

Anthony. Parker rushed forward to interfere with Westbrook's shot, but Westbrook was calm and took his shot.

Everyone was staring at the basketball, except for An Jie, who was the only one who was still moving with the basketball.

"Bang!"

"This goal didn't go in! It's over, it's over! Wait a minute! It's Ann! He rushed into the penalty area! ”

Anjie had just blocked Durant on the outside, so he naturally couldn't get stuck on the inside. But the strong desire to win is still trending, and An Jie actively ran back to the three-second zone, ready to fight for offensive rebounds.

"No, come on, Anderson, come on!" Although Vallejo was already stuck in position, O'Neill on the bench still pinched a sweat.

The basketball slammed into the frame, and Vallejo's legs were stuck on the floor, arms outstretched.

What about Angel? He leaped with all his might, ready to make up for the ball through Vallejo.

Anjie rushed back to the penalty area with all his might, so when he jumped, the huge inertia caused him and Vallejo to collide violently.

Vallejo was about to take off when he suddenly felt a huge pressure on his back. Anjie had already suppressed the Brazilian, straightening his long arms and looking like he was about to touch the basketball!

Vallejo lunged forward, and what about Angel? Across Vallejo, he clicked the basketball in the air, and the basketball changed its trajectory, flew back to the basket, and crashed into the net.

"Oh God! Quiet! Through Valejo's rebound, he succeeded! The Thunder were pulled back from the cliff by him, and they were going to play overtime! "The live broadcast rooms of all TV stations exploded instantly, and the excitement of An Jie's ball can definitely make him top of the top ten balls without dispute!

However, just as An Jie raised his arms and cheered. The referee's whistle sounded, but it didn't sound like a whistle that marked the end of regular time...... (To be continued.) )
