Chapter 123: Disjointed Thunder
Westbrook was forced to take the ball, or the Thunder's ball.
This time the Thunder asked Harden to go to the throw-in, and then pass it directly to Durant.
No way, Westbrook is so unstable, God knows when he's going to mess around.
In fact, the Thunder is now on the field, the attack is very strong, and the Thunder are all on it, as long as they are willing to pass the ball, it is easy to have a chance to score.
In this way, even if they defend a little bit bit, it's okay, they can keep scoring, and offense is the best defense.
However, Westbrook is not a person who is very good at playing this kind of basketball, and if there are more people on the court who can score, he will not play.
After Durant received a pass from Harden, Westbrook rushed over to ask for the ball, which was decisively rejected by Durant.
Just kidding, in your current situation, can you still get the ball back if it's given to you?
Durant ignored Westbrook, but rushed inside with the ball, although his ability to rush to the basket is not as good as heavy small forwards such as James, but Durant is not bad.
Especially when he has long arms and legs, takes two steps against others in one step, and breaks through with the ball high, the 76ers are indeed more difficult to deal with him.
"Don't foul!"
The 76ers' strategy for Durant now is not to foul, because if he fouls, Durant is likely to be "2+1".
Durant originally planned to rush in to play "2+1" this time, but the 76ers did not have the favorite Whiteside on the court, and everyone did not foul easily, which made Durant very helpless.
However, a layup was scored, and the score opened again.
"Attack!"
Han Miao urged the fast attack, the 76ers are young and can run, and the same is true for the Thunder.
"Andrey!"
The high-speed fast attack should be combined with a high-speed pass, and Han Miao passed the ball first the moment he started to speed, and then ran away.
"Gordon!"
"Jason!"
"Han!"
After the basketball was transferred in a wide range, it returned to Han Miao's hands, at this time, Han Miao had already completed a no-ball block with Iguodala, and now it was Harden who was responsible for defending him!
Seeing Han Miao, who was about the same height as himself, Harden didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly he had the spirit, maybe he felt that Han Miao was easier to bully, his eyes widened, and he raised his hand and was ready to come up and grab the ball!
"It's useless!"
Han Miao changed hands behind her back very simply, and when she changed direction one after another, she instantly left Harden behind her!
"Anti-breakthrough!"
Durant just wanted to rush back quickly, but found that Hayward, who was opposite him, took a step back from the three-point line again, and was ready to shoot!
Therefore, Durant can only remind that he has watched the video of the 76ers and knows that as long as he retreats, the Chinese will definitely pass the ball to this empty position!
Bai Ade rushed over, and at the moment when Han Miao jumped, he also jumped high, ready to block!
"You didn't jump high enough!"
Han Miao said as she threw the ball hard above the basket, the arc was too high, and Bai Ade couldn't touch it at all!
"Well passed!"
Iguodala's voice sounded behind him, and Bai Ade was a little surprised in the air When he turned around, he saw a muscular figure flying higher and higher, and then after receiving a pass in the air, he slammed the dunk directly with one arm!
"Boom!"
Iguodala was a beautiful shot, and Westbrook didn't stop him (one size smaller, after all).
"Give me the ball!"
Therefore, Westbrook, who felt that he had suffered a loss and was embarrassed, immediately asked for the baseline ball at White Ade, and then without consulting anyone, he rushed to the 76ers half court with the ball!
"Russell ......"
Durant didn't even have time to stop him this time, so he had no choice but to run forward.
When Iguodala and the others retreated, they all sighed in their hearts that Han Miao really had no last resort.
Before the start of the game, Han Miao said that as long as the brains of Westbrook are hot, then they will win this game!
Now it seems that this is indeed the case, the Thunder's offensive rhythm is out of touch here in Westbrook, Westbrook has his own group, and there are four people left, if it weren't for Durant being fierce now, it is estimated that the backbone of the Thunder will be gone.
"Russell, come on!"
Han Miao deliberately stimulated Westbrook, just to let him and himself one-on-one, just not to give Westbrook a chance to pass the ball!
Westbrook still carried Han Miao to the basket, but he may have wasted too much power in the process of carrying it, and in the end, when Westbrook made a layup, he didn't score again!
This time it was too light, knocking on the outside edge of the basket and popping up, Green came over to fill the position, and after this jump, he tried to make up for the basket directly.
But although Green is now playing as a No. 4 power forward, he is still technically a No. 3 small forward, so this rebound was not added, and Hawes seized the opportunity to protect the rebound.
"Run!"
The moment Hawes grabbed the rebound, Han Miao roared out, and at the same time, Hayward and Iguodala rushed out directly as if they were equipped with accelerators, and for a while their offensive and defensive tasks had been assigned to each other.
Han Miao took Hawes's ball, pulled his big hand behind him, made a throwing motion, and then threw his whole arm violently, and the basketball flew out with a whirl!
"Smack!"
Iguodala came to catch the ball again, this kind of long-distance passing, even if it is Han Miao, can not be said to be particularly good at it now (because there is no fast-break initiator badge), it can only be said that because the effect of the badge of ten cents is too good, so that Han Miao can pass this kind of long-distance fancy ball without making mistakes.
On the Thunder's side, Harden defended quickly, but he couldn't stop anyone with his eyes widened, even if your eyes were open to the corners of your eyes, they couldn't stop Iguodala from breaking through, and Harden was simply a sieve on the defensive end!
"Boom!"
The breakthrough was followed by another dunk, and this time Iguodala came to perform a baseline reflexive two-handed dunk, which looked very good and had the feeling of a dunk contest.
76ers, the offensive is like a tide!
This time it's the Thunder's turn to be in trouble, the offense Westbrook is out of touch, the defense is out of touch with Harden, no matter how you look at it, the current Thunder team is like playing "4 to 5".
That's right, it's "4+5", because they are always disconnected.
Harden really wants to communicate with Westbrook, but he always feels that after the words come to his lips, he doesn't know what to say, and now the status of the team, Harden and Westbrook are still a little bit behind Green! There are some things he can't say.
Although Durant wants to say something, but both of them are his own little brothers, he can't just praise one, right? What would that make the other think? In addition to Durant, he doesn't have the temperament of a boss who is self-sacrificing, and sometimes he really doesn't feel like a big boss!
So, in the end, he didn't say anything, just scored silently and didn't let the team fall into a crisis.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Thunder has begun to disconnect now!
On the contrary, the 76ers are indeed more and more united!
"Huh~"
Cappono hits a three-pointer! And it was a three-point whistle, he looked up to the sky and roared, pulling his jersey to celebrate! At the same time, I accept the congratulations of the whole team!
56:53, halftime, 76ers, 3 points ahead!
