The second half of the game started quickly.

The two teams, which were already hot in the first half, played even hotter in the second half.

From the opening kick-off, both sides kept scoring goals.

David West has not averaged more than double digits in rebounds per game in any season so far in his career.

His bounce and reach are weak, which also makes him not very good at protecting rebounds.

This also makes the rebounding ability of the New York team much weaker than when there is Xiaosi.

And the current Thunder team, the stronger thing is their ability to grab the board inside, although Perkins's ability to grab the board is not good, but his tonnage and body can resist the opponent well on the inside, so that teammates can better hold the ball.

With his help, Ibaka also brought his entire explosiveness and excellent physical fitness to the extreme.

The Thunder certainly do more dirty work on the inside than on the outside, and Perkins is currently the most inexpensive blue-collar center in the league, and his arrival has helped the Thunder take a step forward in the new season.

The Knicks are at a disadvantage in rebounding inside.

This also allowed the Thunder to get more secondary offenses, which allowed them to lead the Knicks by 2 points around four minutes in the third quarter!

With a two-point lead over New York at home and in the third quarter of the game, the Thunder's performance naturally surprised many.

"Wow, it's hard for me to imagine that the Thunder are so strong!"

"I still remember three years ago, when the Thunder drafted Harden in the summer of '09, the last piece of the puzzle of the Thunder's three young men, everyone said that the rise of the city began! Now, it's really started! ”

"It's amazing that this Thunder team has finally come to shock the world!"

Fans were all shocked that the Thunder had pushed the New York team to such a point!

D'Antoni can only seek to change the formation, and the Knicks' interior line is so blown up that he can't stand it.

David West was replaced, and his time has not really come.

Yi Jianlian was moved to the No. 4 position, and in the No. 3 position, D'Antoni put Hill on the field, this veteran who was also much brilliant back then, his defensive experience and defensive ability are greatly underestimated, anyway, in D'Antoni's opinion, he is a little better than Richardson back then.

The Knicks re-changed, and Yi Jianlian's opponent also changed from Kevin Durant to Ibaka.

Ibaka faced Yi Jianlian, his face was a little dignified, just now when Kevin Durant was defending Yi Jianlian, he was not idle, he also followed the defense, and when Yi Jianlian hit the basket, he also felt the opponent's strength.

This made him have to look solemn.

Yi Jianlian moved to the No. 4 position, and the Knicks' originally somewhat bombarded lineup also turned into a positional battle at this moment.

This is Yi Jianlian, which position he is in, which position will become the core of the team.

Yi Jianlian successfully took the ball in the high position, tested the pressure given by Ibaka with his back, and then turned quickly, but Ibaka's lateral speed was also very fast, blocking his turn, Yi Jianlian did not hesitate at this time, immediately turned around again, and continued to kill from the other side, Yi Jianlian's first turn was very small, but when he turned around the second time, his pace was not small, and he took a very big step, Ibaka didn't expect Yi Jianlian's footsteps to be so big this time, and he rushed directly over, If Ibaka could intercept in advance, Yi Jianlian would still be so easy to rush, but once he lost his position, his strength could not bear it at all, and Yi Jianlian's strength was not weaker than him.

“！”

Ibaka continued to make physical contact with Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian, who had already rushed over, was completely unaffected and directly completed the one-handed split.

The whole action is chic and crisp!

Ibaka watched from behind, hunched over the waist and not knowing what to say.

He was a little helpless.

Yi Jianlian scored a successful attack and returned to the defensive end, Perkins still stuck Chandler with his body and let Ibaka grab the ball, he didn't think that Yi Jianlian's change to the No. 4 position would have any impact on the whole game.

"Smack!"

But he soon learned the role of Yi Jianlian in changing to the No. 4 position.

He grabbed the rebound from the top of Ibaka's head......

Yes......

Ibaka, who is good at grabbing boards, was picked off by Yi Jianlian on top of his head.

And it's the kind of play that picks up the rebounds.

Yi Jianlian held the rebound, waited for the Thunder to retreat and gave the ball to Dragic, who dribbled across the halfline, and after Yi Jianlian was in position, he handed the ball to him again.

The reason why Yi Jianlian didn't walk fast just now was because he was trying to recover his physical fitness, with his physical fitness, he only needed to walk two steps so slowly, and his physical fitness was enough to recover, at least to make him breathe.

Yi Jianlian took the ball again, this time in the low post.

After getting the ball, Yi Jianlian still tested Ibaka's strength with his back first, and then turned around and stuck to Ibaka and wanted to kill inside.

But Yi Jianlian suddenly stopped when he blocked the current position, and then he was about to shoot with the ball with both hands, this position is one step away from the basket, although he can't hit the board because of the direction problem, but this distance is very sure for Yi Jianlian.

At least in Ibaka's opinion.

So he jumped directly, but at the same time as he jumped, Yi Jianlian, who was shooting, was shorter, and the whole person took a step forward with his waist bent, and the whole person jumped up to complete the violent dunk after getting to the basket.

"Wow, aa

This delicate basket footwork has become increasingly rare to see throughout the league.

After Yi Jianlian played Ibaka, the whole stadium also let out a huge cheer, and they were excited for Yi Jianlian's ball.

The on-site commentator looked at Yi Jianlian's goal and was also quite emotional: "When the whole league is discussing how great Yi is as a No. 3 player, we may also forget that this guy has become the No. 4 position above the league's first-line position long before he became the top No. 3 position in the league, and this goal made everyone think of how good he was back then!" ”

Yi Jianlian completely suppressed Ibaka in the fourth position, and the Thunder team's original dominant interior line has no advantage at this time, and the active situation has gradually become less active!

The New York team, with Yi Jianlian's efforts, quickly regained the initiative, and at the end of the third quarter, it led by about 5 points!

Kevin Durant had a decent third quarter, scoring 11 points, but the Thunder's return to passivity upset him, so his face remained calm.
