Chapter 427 [Same Running Line]
The game resumes.
Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, the Warriors players all pulled out the outside, and Blair also went to the high post to block and dismantle.
Su Qun sighed: "Now the tallest Warriors on the court is actually the 203CM Gerrard? Green, they've completely given up on the interior offense, so the Thunder's big man has to defend as well. ”
Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side, Ibaka changed defense, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Garcia, who hoisted to Margeti in the bottom corner of the left side, two transfers, Margeti had a chance. Kostic hurriedly saved to defend the three-pointer, Margeti shook it and scored a jumper from inside the three-point line! 94 to 100.
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed to Durant, and Du Shao was the one who grasped it the most. Garcia was still defending as before, ignoring his five fouls. It's a big deal for him to change Azubuuk when he gets off the field, and then let people see how shameless this referee can be. If you send off more than three people in a game, but the other side is all the main players, it is very intriguing.
Durant was close to Garcia when he received the ball, Garcia also had a small movement in his hand, and he was not passed, Durant relied on the cover to the right side, Blair rushed up again, and his strong body almost knocked Durant into a stumbling one, and the referee didn't blow it. Durant saw a bad chance and passed out the perimeter, almost running out of 24 seconds, and Harden's jumper missed.
Su Qun said: "Kostic cut was blocked by Garcia, beautiful change. ”
Yang Jian smiled: "The referee didn't blow Garcia for a foul again, otherwise he would have committed six fouls." ”
Crawford relented this time, hesitated with the whistle in his mouth, and did not blow it.
His "anger blowing punishment" has to do with the education he received since childhood, which he learned from his father. In the Professional Baseball League (MLB) in the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, the referee was always right. As a kid he went to baseball games and watched his father play no mercy on anyone.
Now Crawford is observing one person, and that is Zhou Xuan. Passing, defending, and all the decisions made against him throughout the game were not in the slightest controversy.
What makes Crawford curious is that Zhou Xuan almost never talks to the referee, at least in the game where he blows the penalty, no matter whether it is good or bad, Zhou Xuan does not have it. Many years ago, there were two people who did the same and never complained about the referees: "Magic" Johnson and "Big Bird" Larry? Bird.
Many fans think that these two should know the referee's blowing penalty very well, but this is not the case. Crawford thinks they're thinking too much about it and don't bother to talk to the referee. When the whistle blew, they immediately knew whether there was a result in the argument and what the result would be!
This young man is so smart, he will definitely become a superstar in the NBA! I blew the Warrior foul like this, and he didn't move, it was terrible.
If Zhou Xuan knew that Crawford wanted to see his reaction today, I don't know how he would feel, he also had four fouls on his back now, but he didn't take it to heart, as long as he hadn't been punished, he would dare to make a move. Since entering the league, he has always been able to keep his foul count under control and has never been sent off.
The Thunder made several passes, and after the most sloppy Kostic attacked in the low post, turned and hooked his hand wide. Blair grabbed the rebound and passed it to Zhou Xuan, who gave it to Gerrard? Green. The dunk king took a step in the face of Harden and hit a three-point shot on the right side. 97 to 100.
The Thunder's advantage was only three points in an instant, and Coach Brooks smashed his fist on the sidelines, a little regretful that it was better to replace Kostic earlier and let Jeff? Green on.
The big man wants to balance the inside and outside, and the inside line may also grab the rebound. But Blair, who is less than two meters long, is too fierce for Kostic to get close to the basket, and Margeti is also a muscle stick. As a result, the big man not only failed to score under the basket, but also did not do well when defending the fast break.
The situation in the NBA is changing rapidly, and if you don't have a lot of lead, you can be reversed. Brooks called a timeout, replaced Green, replaced the slow high school forward Kostic, and left only Ibaka tall on the inside, ready to compete with the Warriors for speed.
"Man to man defends, and immediately displaces the defense after the block. Sergi (Ibaka), the inside line is up to you. Brooks exclaimed. With only a minute and a half to win, he doesn't want to be reversed.
Smart said: "Zhou has the ball, the positional battle De Juan and Corillilla go to the perimeter to give him double cover, Gerrard pays attention to the open cut, Francisco corners and other opportunities, the defender marks and holds the inside. If Durant catches the ball, wrap him up. ”
Both sides are man-to-man, and at this time there is no room to relax their defense against anyone.
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled to the frontcourt, Zhou Xuan did not press, he knew that the opponent might consume time to play the success rate, and playing slower at this time was not necessarily a bad thing for the Warriors.
Westbrook didn't deliberately lower the tempo, and Brooks didn't arrange it that way, passing to Harden in the frontcourt. Harden singled out Green, changed direction after dribbling under the crotch, and the speed was not too fast, but the rhythm was very good, and it passed in one fell swoop. Zhou Xuan let go of Westbrook's defense, and Harden passed the ball to the perimeter.
Westbrook received the ball and shook it, Green switched defenses and raised his hands, Westbrook accelerated past him again, and made a pull-up jump shot on the left side. 97 to 102.
Su Qun said: "Green's defense is too lax, and he was easily shaken twice, so he shouldn't be." ”
Yang Jian said: "Harden's draft template is Byron? Davis, looking at the beard and body is really similar, he is also a two-way guard, not as good as Curry and Evans in the opening game, but he is also a rookie in the top few. The ball was passed very well just now, look at the Warriors' ball......"
Margeti completed the block as soon as he passed the half, helping Zhou Xuan block Westbrook. Jeff Green switched defenses, Zhou Xuan took the ball back first, and then stepped down to dribble and retreated, while observing Westbrook's position with the rest of his eyes.
Westbrook bypassed Margeti's pursuit, and Margeti didn't stand stupidly on the perimeter and cut inside the three-point line. At this time, Jeff? Green's thoughts are not firm, should he continue to defend against Zhou Xuan, or go after Margety? The coach's arrangement is a resolute change of defense.
It's just that Westbrook has too much resentment towards Zhou Xuan, and he forgot to change the defense as soon as he got on the field. Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up after retreating, used a jump step outside the three-point line, jumped into the gap between the two and sent the ball out.
Margeti catches the ball and makes a stop-and-go jump shot in the middle. 99 to 102.
Thunder offense, Westbrook took the half court again, gave Durant, Garcia was blocked and also bypassed the pursuit, and Blair wrapped Durant, and let go of Ibaka, then it showed the difference in passing ability, Durant knew that Ibaka was empty, but he couldn't find the ball to play, he chose to stand up straight, and wanted to rely on his height advantage to pass the ball over the heads of the two, but unfortunately the opponent raised his hands and sealed his eyes, which would make him get his wish?
Then Durant retreated with the ball and tried to open up space, Garcia and Blair pressed together, Durant saw Westbrook Cra go to the perimeter to respond, and chose to pass without looking around.
The ball was too hasty, and Zhou Xuan followed closely from Westbrook and cut off the basketball with one hand.
Westbrook chased the ball and took the lead, and Zhou Xuan kicked the ground with his forward foot to save and stabbed the ball to the left.
Zhou Xuan can't chase the ball as much as Westbrook, but Margeti and Blair can outrun a Durant. The ball poked in their direction, and Blair got the basketball first and rushed to the basket.
Durant followed the side, Blair was not greedy, and before the free throw line was given to Margeti next to him, who made a layup, and Durant was lacking. 101 to 102.
"It's so beautiful, Zhou Xuan stabbed the ball to his teammates on the side, the ball was not an assist but also his credit, Durant made a mistake at a critical moment. Here's a warrior's chance! Su Qun shouted.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "The critical moment to test the star, Westbrook looks too rough, I think if it was Zhou Xuan, he would definitely not play such a fast pace, pass more balls, and play misplaced." Garcia is now carrying 5 fouls, if Durant and Westbrook play blocking and dismantling, Garcia's defense may not be so easy, and it will be difficult for Zhou Xuan to stop Durant's shot. ”
He's like a crow's mouth, and this happened just after he said that.
Durant blocked Zhou Xuan on the periphery, and Westbrook stepped up his speed. Garcia was quick and crossed a leg to block his breakthrough lane, and Westbrook changed direction very badly, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost tripped and stumbled to hold the basketball. The bald referee Crawford's whistle blew again.
Garcia covered his head with his hands, looking helpless. There was no need to argue about the ball, and 6 fouls left the field.
To make matters worse, the Warriors fouled in the fourth quarter, sending Westbrook straight to the free-throw line.
Su Qun said depressedly: "It's free throws again, how many free throws are there today?" If the warriors lose, they will be punished alive. Thunder and magic are not the same. Although the Magic also made a lot of free throws, it was the foul on Howard, and the shooting percentage was not high. ”
Yang Jian said: "This season, Durant has also begun to enjoy the star whistle, and he has the possibility of winning the scoring title in three seasons, and he is indeed very powerful." Westbrook is also the league's hottest new-generation defender, but was suppressed by Zhou Xuan last season. ”
Westbrook was under a lot of pressure, hitting one of two free throws. 101 to 103.
Azubuke is on the court, and Smart prefers to have an outside shot, so Ellis continues to come off the bench, and Durant must also have height to defend against misposition. After the free throws, Zhou Xuan went to Blair and Azubuuk and said a few words, wanting to play a tactic.
The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan controlled the rhythm on the periphery, playing without hurry, and he didn't know how to think that the Warriors were the leading side, and after 10 seconds, Margeti came out to cover. At the same time, Azubuke screened off the ball with Blair in the bottom corner and cut from the left to the right corner.
Durant was blocked, Zhou Xuan broke through to the right side, and Jeff Green changed the defense. At this time, if Ibaka does not prevent the outfall, Zhou Xuan may form a vacant position in the hands of Azubuke in the bottom corner.
Ibaka was not bad at defense, followed out of the line, and handed over the interior to Durant. Zhou Xuan changed direction to the middle, pulled the ball and jumped to Westbrook and Jeff with jumps? Green was in the middle, near the free throw line, and the ball was passed to the middle.
Blair squeezed to the basket in a deep position after covering, leaned his back against Durant, and turned to the right side to shoot. Durant had empty height but insufficient strength, was squeezed and couldn't jump, and the ball went in.
103 to 103. There are still 52 hours left. In 4 seconds, the two sides returned to the same running line!
