Chapter 158: Superstar

Larynance happened to appear in Zhao Wei's passing route, and it was impossible for Robertson to make up for Larynance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Double-handed dunks.

At the end of the first quarter, although the Thunder maintained a nine-point lead, the Lakers had successfully narrowed the gap to within 10 points.

"Hey, hey, nice job." Luke Wharton, as the head coach at this time, actually walked in front and high-fived the players and encouraged.

Billy Donovan didn't reprimand the players after he got off the field, he used to be a college coach, and he has seen a lot of this kind of contempt and pride mentality.

"Now agree with me, right?" Billy Donovan looked at the players with a smile.

Several people, including Oladipo, did not refute it, and they acquiesced to Billy Donovan's statement.

……

Although the Lakers are behind, the atmosphere is not like a backward team at all.

Everyone gathered around Luke Wharton and listened to Luke Wharton's arrangement.

"Hey, be sure to pay attention to the ball in the second quarter. Everyone runs up and moves the ball around. People move the ball, even if they defend well, as long as they pass the ball, you will have a chance. Get the chance, no matter who makes a decisive move. It doesn't matter if you don't make it, the important thing is that you dare to make a move. ”

"Zhao Wei, it's still up to you to dribble, and it's up to you to dominate what tactics you run."

"Clarkson, Ingram pay attention to open up space."

"Larynand, do more high pick-and-rolls."

"Blake, grab all the rebounds for me."

……

Luke Walton's set-up is precise to everyone, well-organized, not pressing, but the tone of discussion gives the players the greatest trust.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Williams with Blake, and there were no substitutions on either side.

The Lakers attacked first, Zhao Wei controlled the ball in the backcourt, and Oladipo came directly to lead the defense, first showing his attitude.

"Scolded?" Zhao Wei laughed while controlling the ball.

"I'm going to give you a scolding." Oladipo refused to let it go at all, even if it was lip service.

Zhao Wei dribbled over, gave it to Larinands, and pulled it down the three-point line to the bottom corner.

Larynance didn't move, and on the other side, Ingram ran along the three-point line and received a hand-to-hand pass.

Lucking, Clarkson, who used Blake to block and Zhao Wei to walk the bottom line, immediately came up, handed over his hand and received the ball again.

Clarkson took Blake's cover, burst to the right, crossover, and suddenly went to the left.

All the defenses of the Thunder team followed Zhao Wei and they kept running, not stopping even for a moment, and no one could form a flank attack on Clarkson.

A break on the left to get past N'Golo Kante.

Abrien came to the rescue.

The defense was very good, but Blake was a downturn after blocking and dismantling.

Even if Clarkson didn't break through the defense, the ball was thrown into the air.

Blake caught the dunk in the air.

Compared with the Lakers' well-organized offense, the Thunder's offense is much simpler and rougher.

Oladipo wanted to fight Zhao Wei in a small fight, and the rest of the team pulled away, so Oladipo and Zhao Wei played one-on-one.

In the first quarter, the two faced each other many times, and Zhao Wei didn't scare him at all.

Zhao Wei took a step back, it was clear, if you don't shoot out, you will kill me if you have the ability. Zhao Wei knows from Luke Walton that Oladipo's outside shooting percentage has not been good since the start of the season. It may be that after changing teams, the water and soil are not adapted.

However, after letting him assault the inside line, with his ability to stay in the air, Zhao Wei is really difficult to defend and easy to foul.

Oladipo doesn't seem to have much confidence in his shooting, even if Zhao Wei interferes, but the interference is really not big, but he just can't shoot.

It may be that the shot is missing, and after shooting a few, Oladipo doesn't shoot, always trying to break through and kill Zhao Wei. Breaking through the stop, Oladipo did score two goals. Self-confidence is slowly coming up.

Oladipo took the ball again and prepared to single out Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei slowly took a small step forward, and this time the distance between Oladipo and Oladipo was slightly smaller.

Oladipo smiled indifferently, slammed down the right side, stepped back and shot.

I've hit two of these shots in a row. This time Oladipo is also full of confidence.

It feels very good, but at this moment of the shot. A huge black shadow suddenly pressed down from the side.

Zhao Wei smiled at Oladipo in the air, and his hand touched the basketball.

The ball fell into the hands of Larinands.

The Lakers' side took advantage of the three-line fast break, three-on-two, and Ingram dribbled.

Passed to Zhao Wei on the sideline, Zhao Wei rushed in, faced Oladipo who was making up the defense, and passed to Clarkson on the bottom line.

Clarkson is not polite to you, his hand is up and down, and the three points are soaring.

The margin came to five points.

Billy Donovan immediately called a timeout to rearrange his tactics, but he still didn't bring Westbrook up.

The Lakers' offense still relies on the team to pass the ball and find opportunities. However, Billy Donovan is also experienced, and he accurately grasped the disadvantage of the Lakers' lack of interior height at this time.

Oladipo is no longer obsessed with outside singles, but passes the ball to the inside to N'Golo Kante singles.

There is an advantage in height, and Kante has a lot of attacking skills.

Forward turn and shoot in the middle, step back to shoot, turn inside hook, everything.

Beat Blake three in a row, and all of them.

Although the Lakers relied on teamwork to score goals, Kanter's timely play made the Lakers never get close and stuck on the five-point hurdle.

Clarkson broke through to face Kante's defense and picked up a basket.

Looking back, N'Golo Kante scored again with a strong shot from the inside.

Ingram caused a foul and two penalty warrants.

It was Kanter, who missed the shot and got the rebound in the frontcourt.

The two sides come and go, and the fight is fierce.

At this point, Westbrook stood in front of the scoring table, ready to play.

Zhao Wei looked at Westbrook, and a strong battle intent couldn't help but rise in his heart.

Zhao Wei received the ball inside and hit Oladipo with his back.

Oladipo resisted with all his might, and Zhao Wei suddenly turned around and feint.

Shake off Oladipo's center of gravity.

Immediately followed by a forward turn, hook hands.

N'Golo Kante made up the defense, but Zhao Wei did not make a move, and grabbed the ball back with one hand. Throw to the bottom line.

Ingram received the ball, did not waver, made a resolute shot, and hit a three-point shot at the buzzer.

The Lakers trailed by two points.

The Thunder asked for substitutions, Westbrook, Adams and other main players returned, but Oladipo was rested.

The Lakers saw Adams come up, but Luke Walton was as steady as a mountain, and he didn't want to replace Mozgov in the slightest.

However, Russell came back to replace Ingram, and Zhao Wei's position was pushed to the small forward position.

With a two-point lead, Westbrook kept an eye on the score. When he left the game, his side led by 10 points, and when he came back, he had two points left.

Westbrook doesn't say it's impossible to be a little depressed.

Westbrook accelerated to break through Russell, and Zhao Wei immediately made up for it, wanting the two to form a pincer attack on Westbrook one after the other. This is also the reason why Luke Wharton is relieved to put Zhao Wei in the No. 3 position.

Because Robertson's shooting is just so poor. This can better liberate Zhao Wei to help defend Westbrook.

But without waiting for the two of them to close, Westbrook saw Zhao Wei coming, without any panic and nervousness, calm and calm, his face tightened, originally in Zhao Wei's opinion, he thought that he had reached full speed and suddenly increased a piece, and before Zhao Wei blocked it, an acceleration rubbed Zhao Wei's body and killed it.

Blake defended, but Westbrook told you that I wasn't the reckless young man I once was.

Tricked Blake, leaned on his body, and hit the ground to N'Golo Kante, who was in the vacant position.

Put the ball in the hoop.

The four-point lead helped the Thunder stabilize the situation.

Moreover, no one noticed that Westbrook's assist stats had skyrocketed, reaching six assists at this time.

Zhao Wei controlled the ball, and Robertson defended Zhao Wei strictly.

However, Zhao Wei dribbled well, calmly and steadily, and was very smooth.

Even if Roberson deliberately used physical confrontation, it still didn't make Zhao Wei mess up.

Zhao Wei slowly pushed to the right.

Robertson stuck to Zhao Wei.

Wow!

Zhao Wei suddenly accelerated, and in the case of Robertson's lack of reaction, the back crossover.

The sudden change of direction made Robertson shake for a moment, but Robertson deserved to be a defensive giant. Zhao Wei just dribbled the ball twice, and he stuck it again.

Zhao Wei accelerated, and his body strength burst out suddenly, pressing inside.

Robertson retreated inward.

Zhao Wei took a step back, and Robertson raised his arm high to interfere with Zhao Wei's shot.

But Zhao Wei's shot was just a feint. I didn't look at the people and gave the outside line.

At this time, the Thunder's defensive attention was attracted by Zhao Wei.

Russell received a pass, got his hands up and down, and when he was blocked by Westbrook, he took a shot.

Three-point soaring.

The difference between the two sides is back to one point again.

The rookie players became the brains of the Lakers' offense on the court, making the Thunder's on-court commentators go crazy. But the effect had to make him staggered.

The Lakers chased a point. Zhao Wei glanced at Westbrook with a slight smugness, but he was stunned. He expected the slightest hint of panic on Westbrook's face, but he didn't.

Westbrook's countenance hasn't changed since the opening.

Adams hit the inside, Blake couldn't stop it, and Russell took advantage of the situation to pick it up.

Adams reacted quickly and picked up the ball and passed it. Classic inside-out coordination.

Westbrook raised his hand and scored another three-pointer.

Since the opening game, Westbrook has hit both three-pointers.

With a three-pointer and plenty of time to rest, Westbrook began to explode.

Break the ball, break through the layup, mid-range shooting, or three-point shooting. The margin between the two sides began to widen further.

Although the Lakers have sporadic offense, compared to the stormy side of the Thunder, it is a little bit unmentionable.

That's how a superstar can step up and open up when he can't open the situation.

In the second quarter, Westbrook's stats were close to a triple-double.

Luke Wharton called a timeout in time to help the Lakers stabilize the situation on the court, while also interrupting the Thunder's hot state.

"Zhao Wei, it's up to you to defend Westbrook." Luke Wharton pointed at Zhao Wei and said.

Zhao Wei seemed to nod plainly, but in fact, his heart was surging and full of war. Because he's going to get to the top, these are the people he needs to cross.

"You're the kid who made Oladipo shrivele." Westbrook spoke for the first time on the field.

"You're going to get it back for him?" Zhao Wei asked with a little disappointment.

"No, if you have the ability, take it back yourself." Westbrook shrugged nonsensically, "It's not your best bet against me. ”

"Then let's try it." Zhao Wei was full of awe-inspiring fighting spirit.

Seeing Zhao Wei's appearance, Westbrook looked at him again, but soon returned to normal.

Zhao Wei was very strict.

Westbrook held the ball with both hands and didn't make any unnecessary movements.

Suddenly, the right foot leaned to the right.

Zhao Wei wanted to block his breakthrough, but

Bang!

With a dull sound of muscles colliding, Zhao Wei staggered back a step, that is, this small step, giving space.

Like a predatory cheetah, Westbrook crossed Zhao Wei's line of defense with an indomitable momentum.

Zhao Wei was stunned, and his heart was shocked, how could a person have the breath that only this kind of animal has, and this guy's strength is too strong. It's the first time I've been deflated in a competition with a defender.

Even if Zhao Wei was only in a daze for a few tenths of a second, Westbrook's speed was enough to rush to the basket.

Westbrook threw himself in the air and took the initiative to find a physical confrontation with Mozgov.

Pushing Mozgov over, after a period of sliding, the lever hits.

Zhao Wei finally understood that the nickname of Westbrook, the turtle, did not come for nothing.

This guy is a monster in terms of physical strength and speed.

His talent is no longer enough to describe his perversion.

Immediately following a few rounds of confrontation with Westbrook, even if Zhao Wei concentrated, he didn't make much benefit. And the physical exertion is extremely high.

The undulating chest showed that Zhao Wei's breathing was out of order. As a result, Zhao Wei failed to make several good shooting opportunities.

Westbrook broke through strongly. Zhao Wei followed desperately.

Finally, Westbrook did not score a layup under the full interference of Zhao Wei.

But Westbrook jumped up as soon as he landed and made up for the ball.

Zhao Wei panted and propped his legs, looking at Westbrook who was running back. I can't help but feel very discouraged. All his efforts seemed to be in vain in front of Westbrook at the moment.

Shout!!!

At this point, the referee blew the whistle. Luke Wharton asked for a timeout, and hurriedly replaced Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei walked to the bench in frustration, but when he passed by Luke Wharton's side, he was stopped by Luke Wharton.

"Hey." Luke Wharton said with a smile.

"I'm sorry." Zhao Wei said in a low voice.

"No, no, no, you're doing a great job. Zhao Wei, you did a great job. It's just that Westbrook has more experience than you. Your body and technique, under the pressure of his experience, are not being played. You need to sum up the experience and then the second half will be yours. Luke Wharton looked at Zhao Wei's eyes sincerely.

Zhao Wei thought that Luke Wharton was comforting him at first, but in Luke Wharton's eyes, Zhao Wei saw only trust.

My heart was greatly moved, and the lost confidence had broken out of my shell at this time.

Luke Wharton pulled Zhao Wei and sat down beside him.

pointed to the field and analyzed Zhao Wei one by one. (To be continued.) )
