Chapter 159: First defeat
Zhao Wei sat next to Luke Wharton and listened to Luke Wharton talk about every offense and defense on the court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With such a large amount of knowledge, Luke Wharton didn't know why he had to hand it over to Zhao Wei in this game, he was sure that Zhao Wei would be able to accept this.
Westbrook is still wreaking havoc on the field. No one on the Lakers' side is likely to completely restrain him.
By the time the third quarter was interrupted, Westbrook had already scored a triple-double, and the Lakers were trailing by as many as 15 points.
The Lakers are in a dilemma when it comes to Westbrook, and if they defend him with someone taller than him, they can't be as fast as him. Change to a fast guard against him, and he is not as powerful as him.
Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers sent a bench, but Zhao Wei was not sent to the court. Luke Wharton still took the time to explain to Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei frowned, his eyes staring at everything that happened on the field without blinking.
The Thunder fell into the embarrassment of the second half of the first quarter after Westbrook went off the court.
Under the crazy impact of the Lakers Williams, Clarkson and others, the entire defense line was shattered. was cut and chopped by the Lakers to score generally.
Lue Williams' ability to draw fouls has made Oladipo suffer. In addition, Lu Williams felt very good today, and he didn't dare to pounce or let go. If you want to be more aggrieved in your heart, you will be more aggrieved.
The Lakers relied on excellent play from the bench to finally regain the score to five points before Westbrook came on in the fourth quarter.
Just when the Thunder asked for a substitution in the fourth quarter, Luke Wharton also made a change.
Zhao Wei and Westbrook appeared at the same time.
Zhao Wei stared at Westbrook with flashing eyes, remembering what Luke Wharton told him, that is, to prevent Westbrook on the court.
Zhao Wei replaced Lu Williams, who had played well before.
The Lakers used a super five-small lineup on the court.
Zhao Wei, Clarkson, Russell, Randle and Larinance do not have a center.
The Thunder, on the other hand, sent their twin towers.
The two teams are ready to face off in two extreme ways.
Westbrook saw that Zhao Wei was still defending himself, and his mood did not change, because his evaluation of Zhao Wei after the first half was no different from the rest of the players. He has seen too many such people, and there is no need to know them.
"Come on." Zhao Wei said in a deep voice.
Westbrook didn't expect Zhao Wei to speak first, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be stunned, he was very clear about Zhao Wei's situation at the end of the first half. Unexpectedly, after a break, Zhao Wei turned back into that confident self.
Westbrook smiled interestedly.
Don't speak, take a step to break through.
Westbrook still used the old routine, leaned forward, and first applied physical confrontation to Zhao Wei, but he suddenly leaned in. was surprised to find that Zhao Wei was leaning on him at the moment when his body suddenly retreated.
His steps were very skillful, not only dodging his body, but also cleverly blocking his breakthrough route to prevent him from taking the opportunity to break through.
Westbrook was more interested.
The body that rushed forward came to an abrupt halt, and the amplitude was very large,
crossover!
Swish!
All of a sudden, the whole person went to the other side of Zhao Wei.
Go with the flow.
Zhao Wei is also not far behind, his body did not make the same low-level mistakes as before, moving his right foot first, so that his body can continue to defend in a circle, wasting time and missing opportunities.
Zhao Wei's left foot stepped downward. The body quickly caught up with Westbrook.
The two rushed into the interior almost side by side.
Westbrook is about to take a big step forward.
Zhao Wei followed him like a shadow, sticking very tightly.
Bang!
At this moment, Westbrook showed his old way, and he did not fight Zhao Wei.
As soon as the body is closed, the homeopathic jump shot is stopped.
Zhao Wei interfered with all his might, but the ball still flew to the basket through his fingertips.
It may be that the previous confrontation consumed too much physical strength or other reasons, Westbrook's hand-to-hand distance did not score, and the power of the ball was great.
Zhao Wei was overjoyed and jumped up.
Wow!
The narrator exclaimed,
Zhao Wei stretched out his arms, and the ball grabbed the rebound almost above the plane of the basket.
“go!” Zhao Wei picked up the ball and shouted excitedly.
The Lakers ran quickly as if a soldier had received an order from a general.
At this moment, many fans in the audience looked like a world away, as if the crazy Zijin Dynasty had appeared in front of the world again.
Randall and Larry Nance looked excited.
Westbrook was not slow and followed Zhao Wei closely. I tried several times to intercept Zhao Wei's ball, but Zhao Wei was not panicked, and the response was very decent, turning, changing direction, and the rhythm of combining fast and slow, the ball was protected very well.
Chances of playing three out of five in the frontcourt. However, Zhao Wei frowned.
Because he found that he didn't have a good chance to pass the ball. The three people of Thunder actually prevented five people from their side.
Opportunities never wait for anyone, and Zhao Wei knows that if Adams and Kanter are brought back, then the Lakers' offense will be more difficult.
After Zhao Wei made an emergency stop, he crossed several times in a row and broke through on the right side.
"I want to get in, no way." Westbrook's eyes shrank, and his hand shot like a sharp arrow at the basketball in Zhao Wei's hand. At this point, the body leans forward almost at ground level.
This requires extremely strong waist and abdominal strength.
Luke Wharton smacked himself up from the bench.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the scene in front of them, and countless Thunder fans had already flashed in their minds at this time the picture of Westbrook cutting off Zhao Wei's ball and riding a fast attack and dunking alone.
Westbrook's hand was getting closer and closer to the basketball in Zhao Wei's hand. Seeing that in the next second, the ball in Zhao Wei's hand was about to enter Westbrook's hand.
Swish!
Westbrook's face changed, and he only felt that the basketball that was close at hand disappeared out of thin air.
Just at the last moment.
Zhao Wei suddenly turned around, and his body happened to use the power of Westbrook's body. Got Westbrook over.
Mid-range jumper.
Bang!
The Thunder's bench sent out a fluke with lingering palpitations.
Zhao Wei's strength is also greater. The ball pops out of the frame.
Adams descended like a god and protected the rebound from the top of Larry Nand's head.
The corners of Westbrook's mouth curled in earnest, looking at the departing Ten.
The difference between the two sides is stuck on the five-point threshold. You can't catch up, I can't pull away. Caught in a white-knuckle battle.
Zhao Wei and Westbrook attacked frantically, but unfortunately, the two didn't know what was going on, and the hit rate was worrying.
The sound of the clanging iron. Resounding through the arena.
Clang!
The narrator's brows tightened, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth jumped. Unexpectedly, the war at the critical moment in the last quarter turned out to be a battle of iron.
"Well, I don't know which of the two sides will knock the other team's basket crooked first." The narrator laughed helplessly.
At that moment, Westbrook received the ball from the three-point line and swooped at great speed.
Zhao Wei was amazed by Westbrook's superhuman physical strength, and he seemed to be tireless. Full pressure on both offensive and defensive ends.
In fact, Zhao Wei didn't know that although he kept striking iron, his personal performance had shocked everyone. You must know that the person opposite him is the current league superstar Westbrook.
Zhao Wei didn't let go too much, gritted his teeth and insisted, and quickly followed. I gritted my teeth and insisted that we must guard against Westbrook's breakthrough.
But at this moment, Westbrook's body suddenly retreated.
One step back from beyond the three-point line, jump out of the shot.
"Not good." Zhao Wei was shocked and hurriedly pounced.
But Westbrook's jump was so high that he couldn't reach the ball or even cover his eyes.
The ball was thrown.
Zhao Wei looked up at the ball, and the curvature and spin of the ball were very good.
Clang!
The ball hits the back edge of the basket.
Roar!
The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"It's so beautiful." The host couldn't help but burst into foul language, "It's worthy of being a superstar, and in the end, it was Westbrook who broke the deadlock first." ”
“f?uc?k!” Zhao Wei waved his arm in annoyance.
The four King Kongs on the commentary bench here are sitting as steadily as Mount Tai, and the reason why they came to this game today is because of Westbrook. Because this season everyone is watching Westbrook's outburst and guessing what kind of outburst he can be.
As for the Lakers, they don't seem to have anything to write about this season, and the former giants have been forgotten by everyone.
O'Neill's eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, looking at the game on the field.
The four big King Kong O'Neal, Smith, Barkley, and Webb, any of them are well-known and once league figures. And if you want to talk about the relationship with the Lakers, there are two people who are very deep.
O'Neal is the hero of the Lakers' three-time championship, and the OK combination is known as the best inside and outside duo pair, with excellent strength and explosive ball skills.
As for Webber, although he has never joined the Lakers, the biggest problem why the Kings team who were in a hurry did not win the championship was the Lakers led by the OK combination in front of them.
"What do you two think of this Lakers team? Do they have any hope of making the playoffs? Barkley's big mouth likes to be boisterous, and he deliberately provokes the conversation and throws it at O'Neill and Webb.
"Today's league is not like it used to be biased towards individual teams. Their biggest prize of the season was the No. 1 pick. Webb said and gave O'Neill a provocative look.
"Haha." O'Neill smiled, and the whole chair trembled. However, O'Neill doesn't look at him as big, but he is recognized as a high IQ.
"Old thing, it's been so many years, and you're still holding grudges like this. I've got four, how about sending you both? O'Neill teased Webb, but did not answer Barkley's question. After all, the competition has just started, and if you jump to conclusions early, it is easy to get into trouble.
"Cut!" Webb didn't really hold a grudge against O'Neal, so he gave O'Neill an angry look and continued to look at the court.
"The Lakers have had a couple of nice youngsters this year. That yellow-skinned kid is doing very well. Having the courage made me think of a person. Webb suddenly looked at O'Neill strangely.
"Cut." Even in front of the TV broadcast, O'Neill did not hide his temperament, and directly gave Webb a big middle finger, how could he not think of who Webber was talking about with his cleverness.
Thinking of that person, O'Neill's heart was very conflicted. The two seem to be enemies in their previous lives, and they will be entangled in this life. We hate each other, but together we can achieve great success.
"Hey, the old Corvo is retired. Why are you still talking about such old things? Let him retire quietly. "Smith came out to play the round.
The assignment of the work of the Four King Kongs was revealed at once. Smith is in charge of the circle and maintains the balance.
Barkley is the one who makes things lively.
O'Neill and Webb, the two may be more bickering.
"What do you think of that ten?" Barkley asked.
"It's a bit like, and it's in good shape. If you work hard, you will achieve something in the future. But O'Neill's deep eyes showed that he had more than that. Indeed, O'Neill added a sentence in his heart; "As long as he gets rid of his problems, then the future will be his."
Westbrook's goal seemed to open the line between the two teams.
The shooting percentages of both teams picked up quickly.
After Zhao Wei broke through, he gave the ball to Randle.
Randle dodged and moved under the basket and hit the board.
Westbrook catches the ball and shoots three-pointers and scores again.
Lu Williams hoisted to Ingram, who was running back into the air, and scored an empty dunk.
N'Golo Kante hits a shot from the back.
The scores of the two sides are very close, but the Thunder are able to withstand the Lakers' attacks at every critical moment.
There are twenty seconds left in the race.
Zhao Wei took a chance and made a three-point shot.
Swish!
entered, Zhao Wei's hand finally opened. But at this time, there was no time for the game, and even the foul tactics were powerless.
The Thunder defeated the Lakers by five points 113-108.
The Thunder won three in a row, while the Lakers suffered their first defeat.
Westbrook continued his red-hot form, recording two triple-doubles in a row and topping the scoring charts and second in assists.
Zhao Wei bowed his head in annoyance and walked quickly to the locker room.
"Hey. Number ten. But as soon as Zhao Wei walked past the bench, he heard someone shouting about himself.
Zhao Wei's face was slightly cold, and he turned back indifferently, but when he saw the person coming, he was still slightly stunned.
"Hey, well done." Westbrook walked over with a smile on his face.
"But the victory was taken away by you." Zhao Wei said indifferently.
Belch!
Westbrook was stunned by Zhao Wei's reaction, and smiled awkwardly: "The future will be yours." ”
"The future is unpredictable, tomorrow is unknown, let alone the future. I want now. Zhao Wei said meaningfully.
Westbrook was extremely depressed, what kind of identity he was, came to talk to a rookie, but was treated like this. If it spreads, it will be laughed at by countless people.
"You're just like me back then. Interested in coming to the Thunder? I believe that many people will be very excited when they hear this sentence from Westbrook, and receiving a face-to-face invitation from a superstar is already the greatest respect for themselves.
Zhao Wei burst out laughing and said lightly: "If you come to the Lakers, then I can join forces with you." ”
Belch!
Now Westbrook only had one thing in his mind to say: "You, can you talk?" ”
Westbrook didn't speak, and Zhao Wei's words hurt him very much. He turned his head and walked to his team's side.
"Hey." Zhao Wei shouted.
Westbrook reluctantly turned his head and looked at Zhao Wei with a cold face.
"I'll beat you next time." When Zhao Wei said this, his body exuded infinite confidence.
"Young people, it's good to have goals, but don't be rash." Saying this, the corners of Westbrook's mouth showed a satisfied arc. (To be continued.) )
