Westbrook kept pounding the basket and causing problems for the Kings.

And the Kings didn't shoot well at the beginning and had an opportunity, like Batum, who didn't take it.

So the Thunder took the lead, the Kings fans calmed down, the whole court dropped the decibels, and the game returned to a normal situation.

Smooth.

DeRozan recalled the word in his mind, holding the ball with his right hand, circling Tyson Chandler, diagonally inward, the Thunder were still the same bag, DeRozan faced Ibaka, grabbed the ball with both hands and lifted up, and jumped high into the air.

Ibaka's eyes rounded him, and the young man from the Congo, like black charcoal, jumped up in a flash, and the height of this jump was not weaker than DeRozan's.

DeRozan's hand clutching the basketball in the air suddenly retracted, and a small lever folded down glided away from Ibaka's defensive zone.

Then use the position he is most likely to stretch out and make a layup.

"Hit!"

Zhang Weiping shouted, "Oh, this ball is difficult enough, DeRozan scored the ball with the help of Ibaka, it's really tough." ”

Ibaka's goal is also full of ornamentation, and in the quiet scene, it was as if a bomb was thrown, causing a commotion in the audience.

The fans cheered and reinvigorated.

"Well done, that's how you attack!" Wang Mingming applauded, stood up from the sidelines, and waved his arms, giving DeRozan a lot of confidence.

DeRozan and Tyson Chandler high-fived, and there was a nice pick-and-roll between the two.

Tyson plays the role of a meat shield in the Kings, and the Thunder also has good meat shield players, such as Perkins, Perkins was traded from the middle of the season and directly revitalized the overall offense of the Thunder team, so Perkins seems to be useless, and can only contribute five or six rebounds and five or six points a day on the court, but in fact, there are other tactical connotations in it, without Perkins, the Thunder will not climb to the ranks of the Western giants.

In the transition between offense and defense, the Thunder chose the tactics of blocking and dismantling the offense at the top of the arc, and the point of possession was still Westbrook.

Perkins came out to block and pick-and-roll, and Tyson Chandler simply didn't go inside and shrank back inside to defend.

Westbrook continued to walk the cover without success, one-on-one to DeRozan, and then there was no chance, and finally a random throw, the shot was outrageous, and it hit the rebound directly and rebounded.

Chandler touched the rebound with his hand, and Kidd was quick to catch the rebound a second time.

Then Kidd sent the ball forward and played a fast break on the spot.

The Kings ran forward as a team, DeRozan was like a sharp arrow, frantically attacking from the left edge, and then the speed-up Kings hit two and two in the frontcourt, Kidd broke through, seemed to pass and shot, attracting the attention of defenders, one did not look at the ground, and gave it to DeRozan, DeRozan received the ball, and in front of Kevin Durant, he made a rebound.

No matter how long Durant's arms are, it is still a bit difficult to chase and defend the rebound.

The Kings fans all stood up, and the home team suddenly set off a counterattack in the middle of the first quarter, and the momentum leader was the team's leading scorer.

DeRozan raised his arms and scored four points in a row.

The Thunder asked for a timeout.

"This is a relatively normal rhythm, the game goes back and forth like this, a strong team like the Kings, they will not always fall behind the Thunder, and a proper counterattack is the strength that the home team should have." The Sacramento host commented: "You know, the Kings have restrained the Thunder a little, and the Kings have won six of the last seven games the two teams have met. ”

Brooks thought about it, then replaced Harden with Saflotsa.

This is to strengthen the offense, during this time, the main reason why the Thunder were chased by the Kings is that they can't score themselves, and if everyone scores, then DeRozan scoring 4 points in a row is not a big deal.

This adjustment is very correct, although Harden did not play much after the game, the Kings need to spend more energy on the defensive end, Kidd has less help defense, Durant is a little higher in the horns, and the Thunder continue to attack Batum one-on-one.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Kings by five points, 28-23.

The anti-visiting Thunder surprised fans, and the main thing is that Westbrook and Kevin Durant played just too well.

The two joined hands in the second quarter to go off the pitch to third-place sophomore, James Harden.

James Harden, with an exaggerated beard and a headband on his head, is going further and further down the path of cosplaying Byron Davis.

In the first quarter, Harden didn't play much, only handing out one assist.

As soon as the second quarter began, Harden raised his hand and began to attack with the ball, facing the Kings player Aaron Afflalo, who was very active in defense and maintained the brazen style he learned from the Pistons, and Harden was very uncomfortable on the ground.

Harden beckoned, and inside Nick Collison immediately came out, and the two played a block on the three-point line.

Harden has a natural talent for pick-and-roll offense, and when the right hand with the ball is exchanged to the left hand, the whole person becomes one, and the speed is a step faster, straight inside.

By the time Harden took the ball and stepped out to the left, defenders were already speculating, could it be a European step?

As a result, Harden continued to move to the left with his left foot in the second step, and his whole body was a little weird, but when he held the ball with his left hand, his movements were already extremely stretched.

The defender didn't cover and was scored by Harden for a layup.

At this time, Harden's upper body strength was not very strong, and he mainly did not hang defensive players on offense, but chose European steps or some other more skillful layups, which was mainly confusing.

Harden looks like Byron Davis in appearance, and in terms of technical style, he is more like Manu Ginobili.

So some people put the comparison of the two together, and Harden did pay special attention to Manu Ginobili's offensive skills later, and in him, he found the talent of many European players and South American players to adapt to the rules and use the rules, which seemed to light the light in his life all of a sudden.

"Players who only play by the rules are ordinary players, and it is the superstars who let the NBA change the rules for you, and the ones who adapt to the rules and use the rules are the ones who are one in a million."

Wang Ming didn't expect this inconspicuous three-way leader to have this ability in the future, at this time, Harden is just a very talented two-way guard, with no mid-range ability, and the layup and three-point are particularly good.

Harden led the Thunder's Eric Maynor, Daquane Cook and others to play against the Kings' bench players.

For a while, the Kings bench did not win anyone, and in a blink of an eye, the difference between the two teams stretched to 10 points, forcing the king to call a timeout tomorrow.

Three less than one will toss one by one, from Westbrook to Durant to Harden, take turns to play, take turns to play, Wang Mingming sighed that the Thunder team is talented, and finally understands that the Thunder team at this time is quite mature, and it is no longer the little kid team that entered the playoffs for the first time last year.

It's not the kind of team that can win at will, but the existence that is really real and can wrestle with the Kings.

The outcome of the two teams is unpredictable, and even he has no guarantee that he will be able to survive the first round.
