Chapter 445: Temptation

In the last game of playing the Rockets, the first game was able to lead because of Xiao Ran, and now playing the Thunder, it is the efforts of many players to be able to lead, which is not the same thing at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

One person's performance can make a game exciting, but the players of the whole team working together and trying to play at their own level can make the players know that they can do it and that they don't have a chance to win.

With this seed in his heart, when he fights against the Thunder in the future, the players will no longer be timid, and they will have more fighting spirit.

Not to mention anything else, after the first quarter of the game, Xiao Ran walked to the rest area and sat down, hugged his hands together, and did not find a team doctor to treat him.

He knew what his injuries were, and the pain was still within his patience.

The injury to the finger is estimated to be a sprain, and it will be healed after a few days of rest.

Although it is not a serious injury, the pain is still not light, and if it were any other person, I am afraid that the team doctor would have been treated by now.

But Xiao Ran didn't have this plan.

Seeing Xiao Ran's expressionless face and his hands clasped together, Vanderwig hurriedly walked up and asked, "How is it, do you need to call the team doctor to take a look?" ”

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can hold back." ”

At this time, Xiao Ran understood that if the Thunder team knew that his finger was injured, the Thunder team's defensive focus would definitely not be on Xiao Ran in the next game, which would not be good news for the Nets.

In the last quarter of the game, the reason why the Nets were able to lead was largely because the Thunder focused too much attention on Xiao Ran, so that other teammates had a chance to shoot.

And Xiao Ran is sure that others can't see it, Thunder head coach Billy Donovan will definitely be able to see that in the next quarter of the game, he will definitely come to test Xiao Ran, if Xiao Ran shows an injured state, the result is self-evident, Xiao Ran's plan for this game will also be disappointed, and in the end, in order to win, he will definitely be forced to use prop cards.

So Xiao Ran is enduring it now!

Vanderwig also knew this, and after asking a word, he didn't continue to ask, just patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, and then began to lay out the tactics of the second quarter game.

At the same time, in the Thunder rest area, head coach Billy Donovan said to the players: "Everyone did a good job in this section of the game, although we are behind now, but after the last quarter of the game, I think Xiao Ran may have been injured, in the next game, you can properly relax the defense of Xiao Ran, of course, I am just guessing, if it is true, then the defense of Xiao Ran can be completely relaxed, if he is not injured, you must immediately guard against him, do not let him have a chance to score." ”

Most of the Thunder's players raised their eyebrows.

Xiao Ran was injured?

They didn't notice anything in the last quarter of the game, and when they made free throws, Xiao Ran still ensured a high shooting percentage, hitting both free throws, and also had a good shooting percentage of three out of five when attacking.

But now the head coach actually told them that Xiao Ran might have been injured?

This really surprised the Thunder players.

During the break after the first quarter of the game, Billy Donovan immediately decided to test Xiao Ran.

After the break, the second quarter began.

As soon as the Thunder served, they organized an offense.

This time, the main offensive force was Russell Westbrook, and he faced Xiao Ran against the defender.

Defensively, Xiao Ran put a lot of pressure on Russell Westbrook, and in the last quarter of the game, Russell Westbrook did not score much, largely because of Xiao Ran's excellent defense.

Although it was not like a shot without a shot, the defense of each ball was very good, and the interference with Russell Westbrook's shooting percentage was very successful.

When attacking, Russell Westbrook glanced at Xiao Ran's hand, and he immediately found that Xiao Ran's fingers were swollen, and the thickness of his index finger was comparable to that of a thumb, and he knew that he was injured at a glance.

Russell Westbrook burst into laughter.

To be honest, in the game where the Nets won the Rockets, Xiao Ran's performance was too eye-catching.

Russell Westbrook has played in the NBA for eight years, and last season's triple-double in the regular season was the second-most in history, but in terms of scoring, Russell Westbrook really didn't score 62 points, and the highest score was 52 points.

But Xiao Ran participated in the NBA for the first time, although it was a preseason, but he won a good score of 60+10 in the first game, which has never happened in the league.

The Rockets' Harden is not weak, although he can't close him on the offensive end, but he is also the top scorer in the league, but such a scorer, in the end, was defended by Xiao Ran, although he scored a double-double in a game, it was also worthy of a double.

Against such a formidable opponent, Russell Westbrook has no pressure in his heart is fake.

So in today's game, Russell Westbrook has never dared to force a sudden attack or force a shot.

Now seeing that Xiao Ran's fingers are swollen, his heart has also begun to become active.

Finger injury means that when you shoot, you will subconsciously not let the injured hand touch anywhere, so that the ability to defend will naturally decrease a lot.

In the second quarter of the game, the temptation to Xiao Ran began from the offense.

After Russell Westbrook dribbled to the front court, he did not pass the ball to others, but immediately broke through to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran sighed slightly, Russell Westbrook's eyes looking at his fingers naturally couldn't avoid Xiao Ran's gaze, he knew that the next temptation of himself was about to begin.

When Russell Westbrook attacked, Xiao Ran did not hesitate, immediately stepped forward to defend, and then quickly fished his hand towards the basketball despite the pain in the fingers of his right hand.

Xiao Ran's shot was done in one go, without any hesitation, and even Russell Westbrook didn't react.

The ball he was carrying was suddenly taken away by Xiao Ran, and the speed was amazing.

From this point of view, there is no problem with Xiao Ran's fingers at all.

But others don't know what, Xiao Ran himself knows very well, the pain in his fingers made the corners of Xiao Ran's mouth twitch slightly, if he hadn't endured it with willpower, I'm afraid he would have covered his hands and jumped up by now.

This time the steal was very successful, after taking the ball away, Xiao Ran did not hesitate, immediately organized a counterattack, ran towards the Thunder's basket, and at the position of more than one step behind the three-point line, Xiao Ran held the ball in both hands, jumped up directly after taking two big steps, and just raised his right hand.

It's a tomahawk split!
