Chapter Fifty-Seven, The Outbreak of the Second Half!!
Thunder locker room.
The damage the Trail Blazers inflicted on the Thunder in the first half was far more than a 10-point margin.
The state shown by the Trail Blazers from the first quarter is too stable, and the Trail Blazers led by Huang Mamba give people the feeling of calmness, which is completely different from the feeling of the Thunder and the Knicks.
The Thunder failed to play several counterattacks, and the rhythm on the court was completely controlled by the Trail Blazers.
Although looking at the difference in points between the two sides, the confidence of the Thunder players was lost.
Li Linlin's continuous iron in the opening game, coupled with the Trailblazers' kraft candy-style defense, often 2 people and 3 people in the bag, also made Li Forest feel upset.
Li Linlin felt that his hand was not good, and he deliberately connected his teammates, so he only made 14 shots in the half.
But among the Thunder's role players, including Harden, the Thunder will be hesitant at the end of the second quarter to make a move.
This made head coach Brooks on the sidelines stomp his feet, and he returned to the locker room with a lot of anger.
As soon as he entered the locker room, Brooks was rarely angry, and in the middle of the locker room, he looked at the players standing in a pile in front of him and squirted:
"FUCK, WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO ON THE COURT, I THOUGHT THIS WAS PORTLAND, WHY DIDN'T YOU DARE TO SHOOT? You all have to figure it out, this is Ohlahoma City, this is our home turf! ”
Brooks' voice was almost roaring, and he slammed the board to the ground.
"Frames."
Brooks was under a lot of pressure during this time.
The injuries of several main players made his position precarious, and Li Linlin's frenzy in the last game barely relieved him, in fact, it doesn't matter if the main force is injured, but this group of substitutes did not show the momentum they should have! That's the source of his rage, it's the home field.
Li Linlin, who was watching Brooks' anger from the sidelines, knew that he couldn't blame these role players, Brooks's daily single-round tactics were to train Sanshao into a superstar.... But on the other hand, it also suppressed the growth of these role players.
The role players of the Thunder are all revolving around Sanshao, and they won't be able to play as soon as they leave, plus Brooks's error tolerance rate is extremely low, anyway, except for Sanshao, he feels that the other players are about the same, and he will change them as soon as he is not satisfied.
This has also led to this embarrassing situation for the Thunder now.
In the first half, even Harden didn't dare to shoot.
"Lee! You step up your individual offense in the second half, don't pass the ball, take out the momentum that you scored 57 points in the last game, you don't need to restrain yourself, you have unlimited right to fire!! Don't be burdened! You won't be blamed for this loss! ”
Brooks looked at these uncompetitive guys, and he was ruthless, his face was pale, and he gambled.
He could see that Li Forest had a bad hand, but Ibaka and Harden couldn't shoot in a few open positions in a row, so he couldn't help it.
Now only Li Forest is not afraid of his opponent.
Brooks decided to gamble on Li Forest's hand and directly arranged the single theory tactics to play to the extreme.
If Li Forest's hand can recover in the second half, the Thunder can chase it back, but if the hand is not good, it will be like that.
Harden and others didn't dare to look directly at Brooks, bowing their heads one by one, and they were indeed a little cowardly in the first half.
"Try to finish all the offenses with the ball to Lee, and the big man as a cover! Hear no! Everyone takes turns to defend, slows down the pace with them, and chases round by round!! It doesn't matter if you can't score in the attack, but the hardness of the defense must be brought up to me, and don't let them go wild here. ”
Brooks once again emphasized second-half tactics.
“OK。”
Everyone reluctantly mustered up their momentum and replied.
Seeing the sparse reaction of his teammates, Li Linlin's face was very bad.
The Thunder's role players are far from reaching the level of the playoffs, which is completely different from the Trail Blazers opposite......
The strong personal ability of the three young people covers up these problems.
Ibaka and Harden are just rookies, and they can't ask for more.
Are the Thunder just a pseudo-powerhouse?
Li Forest doesn't believe it, the thunderous aura of killing the Celtics, Lakers and Magic is definitely not the momentum it is now.
Come to think of this.
Li Linlin's eyes became cold, since they couldn't believe it at this time.
Then do it yourself.
Teammate Full CBA......
At this moment, Li Linlin's eyes were like a poisonous snake.
Although the surface is cold, his heart is already boiling.
"Bell, inspiring talent, "killer instinct""
"Bell, Inspire Talent, "Super Giant Moment"
Li Linlin heard two consecutive bells.
Li Forest has experienced Kobe's skills for the second time!!
Plus "Step-back jumper LV3." ”
In the face of adversity, Li Linlin's strength was forcibly raised by another level, temporarily reaching the SSS level.
………………
After the start of the second half.
Li Forest was playing with "fire", and he followed Roy like a shadow in the backcourt, forcing the opponent to make a mistake in receiving the ball as soon as he came up.
The Thunder serves, and the Thunder are still the five with the strongest attack power on the court because they are behind.
The Trail Blazers also want to take out the Thunder in one fell swoop, and the starting five are all there.
Lee Forest dribbles over.
A simple change of direction, past Roy, who wants to regain face and steps forward to steal and lose his position.
Lee Forest came to the free-throw line with Oden's reinforcement.
But Li Forest didn't care.
He's just going to do it.
Lee made a sharp stop to adjust his rhythm, and the free throw line jumped back and back.
Facing Oden's interference.
The ball crosses a wonderful arc.
"Huh."
56 to 48.
The spread is back in the single digits.
Li Linlin's eyes were still very cold looking at the annoyed Huang Mamba.
This goal is scored.
Lee Forest found his familiar rhythm of the goal.
After scoring a goal.
Li Linlin stretched out his finger and shook it at Auden very arrogantly, and then pushed his hands upward, constantly mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene.
With his movements, the atmosphere at the Ford Center Arena was at its highest.
At the moment, he needs the support of the fans.
"Lee, chase them back and kill them"
"Send them back to Portland."
"Stab them in the ass."
The shouts, applause, and cheers of the audience erupted.
It's all hi together.
This boosted the morale of the Thunder's players a little bit.
If Li Linlin continues to develop like this, he will not have to fight in the fourth quarter, and it will directly become garbage time.
Roy has a good temper, but at this moment, he was also inspired by Li Linlin, and he looked at Li Linlin, who was pretending to be a B guy, very unpleasantly.
Lee's recent strong performances have put a lot of pressure on Roy, the strongest SG outside of the Western Bryant.
After Roy came over.
Another block with Aldridge, Ade's down, and Ibaka's leakage again.
Pick up the basket.
58 to 48.
Seeing this ball, Li Forest couldn't help but start holding his teammates.
Big Black Ibaka is really pitting now......
Thankfully, the third quarter had just started the first round.
Li Forest glanced at the scoreboard.
No problem, you can catch up.
Harden dribbles forward.
After halftime, I didn't look at the basket at all.
He didn't want to come by himself.
Harden remembered Brooks' advice and knew he needed to pass the ball to Forest Lee.
Stand at the top of the arc and observe the position.
It was Roy who was keeping an eye on Lee Forest
Lee Forest made a false inward cut near the free-throw line and shook Roy's center of gravity.
Pacing, he came to the left side of the 45-degree diagonal three-point line, and there was a small vacancy.
SSS-level Kobe Bryant's running feints are too realistic, and Roy can't guard against them.
Roy looked at the location of Lee Forest.
Whispered.
"It's broken."
But the center of gravity of his body was shifted, so that he could not keep up.
Li Linlin fell into a good position, and the person arrived at the ball.
"Superstar Moment"
Li Forest glanced at the basket.
Almost instinctively, he jumped up and leaned back for three points to shoot domineeringly.
The ball arcs in a wonderful arc.
"Huh"
58 to 51.
Lee hit his first three-pointer of the game.
Li Linlin was accustomed to the cheers of the home stadium, and he raised his hands again and began to greet the cheers of the fans, and the shouts of the fans would make him even more excited.
"Lee, well done."
"Good shot."
The audience cheered.
Lee Forest is their hope, which makes fans always believe that the team can chase back when the Thunder are behind.
Because they have a Lee Forest who likes to work miracles!!
This three-point score, Brooks on the Thunder's side quickly high-fived the assistant coach and laughed.
But the Trail Blazers' McMillan coach blackened his face.
"Li Forest is open."
The Trailblazers are in trouble.
There is big trouble.
……
Third quarter of the game.
Li Forest began to hit consecutive shots, he first hit a mid-range shot, then hit a three-pointer, and then made a steal and a fast-break layup, Li Forest was unstoppable and scored 10 points in a row.
However, the Trail Blazers also scored continuously under the leadership of Roy, but compared to the first half, the Trail Blazers' shooting rate dropped a lot, and when there were more than three minutes left in the time, Li Forest's breakthrough rebound helped the Thunder successfully overtake the score.
But then Roy's breakthrough assisted his teammates to score, helping the Trail Blazers play momentum and overtake again.
In the final three minutes of the third quarter, Lee continued to be trapped by the Trail Blazers' wheel defense in the offense, with only one assist on the breakaway Collison to score.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 70-68.
The Thunder relied on Li Linlin's outburst to recover 8 points.
Lee scored 15 of the Thunder's 21 points in the third quarter.
After the start of the fourth quarter.
Li Linlin started another one-man performance, and made consecutive breakthroughs to cause the opponent to foul and get a free throw opportunity.
Then he made consecutive forced layups.
But after Roy's return, the Trail Blazers' resolute wrap-up caused Lee Forest to make consecutive turnovers, and the Trail Blazers took the initiative again and seized the opportunity to extend some of their lead.
With 44 seconds left in the race.
Thunder timeout.
The Thunder trailed by five points.
Pause back.
Li Linlin succeeded in one pick and two.
A layup took the deficit to three points.
Trail Blazers pause.
There are only 33 seconds left.
Li Linlin had already killed the red eye at this time.
The Thunder had almost all of the ball in his hands in the fourth quarter, and Lee had 38 shots in the game.
The individual score also came to 41 points.
It's outrageously inefficient.
But the Thunder had no other way.
All teammates were counting on Li Forest to rush and kill.
Lonely.
This was the biggest feeling of the second half of the second half.
