Chapter 281: It's not as good as Yi Jianlian
19 to 13.
Around 8 minutes into the first quarter, the Bucks still held the lead.
Brooks couldn't wait, so he had to make a substitution first.
Judging from the current situation in the first quarter, Yi Jianlian played with ease, and has already scored 6 points and 4 assists, which is the pattern of Yi Jianlian when he played before.
This shows that he is relaxed.
But in the last game, Yi Jianlian just scored 60 points on the home court of the Nuggets!
Avralo couldn't stop him even with leg cramps!
If he really turns on the offensive mode, the score of the Thunder team falling behind will be even greater.
It's better to take Kevin Durant and Westbrook off the court now, rest early, and bring them up early in the second quarter.
Our top-class horses can't compare to other people's top-class horses.
Then first bring the medium horse up and play with the best horses of other people.
Then use your own fine horses to play with other people's medium horses.
Maybe there is hope of winning.
Hey~ Brooks should have studied "Tian Ji Horse Racing".
Substitutions, substitutions!
Brooks happily made a substitution.
But Xiao K didn't agree to play like this!
I'm going to use a fine horse to hit your best horse.
Anyway, my horse is better, and I'm not afraid!
Xiao K also took Yi Jianlian down.
Counting the internode break, this time, Yi Jianlian was able to rest for at least 5 minutes.
"James, it's up to you!"
Luckily, Brooks still has James on hand.
It is rumored that no matter what problem you encounter, please give the ball to James and he will give you a perfect answer.
James Harden: Can you wait for me to say that in six years?
***
James Harden came up and made a foul.
It's just that compared to the later "body hair whistle", this foul was indeed successfully created by him on the march.
James Harden has always been a very smart player, his physical attributes are not great, the only thing that is amazing is his strength, but he is not a man who rampages with strength, he knows how to use the psychology of defenders to get some easy scoring opportunities.
After all, free throws are also two or three points, and one shot is also two or three points.
Since you can all score, why not choose something smarter?
It's a free throw from Harden's point of view.
He has always considered free throws as his regular scoring weapon.
Of course, Harden's ability to make fouls is really good, and now it's just his rookie season, there is no so-called "star whistle", and he can get fouls and really get fouled.
It's just that no one could have imagined that a generation of "porcelain kings" is evolving.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Hit both penalties!
Since the free throw is used as a conventional weapon, Harden's free throw shooting rate is also very amazing, and the free throw shooting rate reached 80% in the first season!
Every season since, he has shot less than 84% from the free-throw line!
Even more consistent than him is Rajan Rondo, who has never shot more than 65% from the free-throw line!
You may have a penalty, but I'll never score! I'm Rajondo, and I'm a fan of missing goals.
Rajan Rondo: ??? Can you average 9.7 rebounds per game?
Westbrook: I can!
Rajan Rondo: I can't afford to provoke it, the three brothers of Thunder are all big guys.
Harden was in good shape in this game, coming up and making two fouls in a row, making 3 of 4 free throws, plus a mid-range shot, and scored 5 points.
With those five points, the Thunder recovered three points.
26 to 23.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder trailed by just three points.
***
"In the second quarter, Yi, I'll let you play the whole game, you have to open up a little more points!"
Xiao K asked Yi Jianlian to step up his individual offense in the second quarter.
The overall strength of the Thunder team is not weak, and there are people available for starters and benches, if the Bucks can't open up the difference in the first half, and the Bucks players will lose their physical strength in the second half, and the game will become difficult to play.
Yi Jianlian nodded, and decisively increased his personal offense from the beginning.
The Thunder are currently on the bench.
Yi Jianlian burst one, resulting in 2 plus 1, and shot another one from outside the three-point line, scoring 6 points in a row to re-extend the score difference to 8 points.
As soon as Brooks saw that this guy was unmatched, he quickly brought Durant and Westbrook on the court.
As soon as Durant came on the court, he followed Ibaka and hit a mid-range shot after the block.
The difference of 8 points narrowed to 6 points.
Durant had been sitting off the court just now, watching Yi Jianlian alone on the court in various scoring shows, he couldn't hold himself back for a long time.
Why is he so strong on the field alone, I can too!
For Durant, whatever Yi Jianlian does or is doing, he must complete.
He wants to prove that he is no worse than Yi Jianlian!
Well...... Although it has been proven that three seasons have not proven successful.
Yi Jianlian held the ball, still played by himself, broke through with Durant, and pulled the ball back one and a half times while approaching the high position, Durant didn't retreat, so he hit Yi Jianlian's ass hard.
Yi Jianlian immediately made another forward turn, and was about to break through again, Durant hurriedly took a step forward, but Yi Jianlian took a sudden step back at this time, jumped up and shot the ball!
"Wow!"
Kenny Smith was shown by Yi Jianlian's movements, but he vaguely felt that this action was a little familiar?
Durant!
The ball that Durant just got blocked, it seems to be this action, right?
"Wow, Yi hit Kevin with Kevin's moves, but the difference is that Yi threw this ball in!"
"Wow, Yi's offense is indescribable!"
"Everyone says Kevin Durant is an offensive machine, but now it seems that Yi is going to blow him up!"
"If I were Kevin Durant, I'd definitely be in a bad mood right now!"
Fans in the crowd at Bradley Arena are also talking.
Durant's mood is not only very bad!
It's just terrible!
Kevin Durant went back to defense in a daze, and he received a fatal blow to his heart.
Did that guy just score in front of me with my moves?
Kevin Durant didn't know what to say anymore.
This guy is too ...... Awesome!
Kevin Durant finally admitted Yi Jianlian's strength, he has been chasing Yi Jianlian, but until Yi Jianlian just shot that shot in front of him, he must admit that even if he trained hard for another season, his strength is indeed not as good as Yi Jianlian.
His shot was covered by Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian used the same action but scored in front of him!
Durant simply couldn't find an excuse to continue lying to himself.
Durant: Huh? Am I lying to myself all this time?
Westbrook countered with a dunk, and the sound of a dunk pulled Durant back from his thoughts on the court.
"Hey, Kevin, I said it, I'll get you revenge!"
"We're going to have to take the win away from Bradley Arena this time and end their winning streak!"
Once again, Westbrook took the initiative to give Durant a high-five.
Durant stretched out his hand in a daze, high-fived Westbrook, and looked at the latter's expression of refusing to admit defeat, and there was a little more inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
"OK, then, it's time to chase the score!"
