Chapter 211: Reclaiming a City
At the end of the half, the Kings still led the Thunder by 9 points at home 60-51, and the Thunder team never caught up with the difference between the two teams, the Thunder team's performance on the offensive end of this game was not bad, the Thunder team scored more than double digits after three halves, but Tyrek shot 10 times in the half, hit 9 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 27 points. The Thunder didn't give the Thunder any chance to close the gap, and Garcia scored 10 points in the first half, and Cousins also scored 12 points, which can be said to be at his normal level.
"Jerry, tonight's team is really united, Tyrek has been blessed by angels tonight, this crosshair is too demonic! If the momentum continues in the second half, it seems that setting a new record for points scored in a single playoff game is a certainty! It was not easy for Tyrek to score 45 points on the stage of the playoffs in the last game, but today Tyrek is very hopeful to score more than 50 points in a single game! You should know that since the 85-86 season, only 10 players have scored 50 or more points in a single game in the playoffs, and only two players have done it more than once, Michael has done it 8 times. Jordan and Allen, who has done it 3 times. Iverson, tonight's two-time scoring champion Kevin Brown. Durant's playoff personal high was only 41 points......"
"Indeed, Tyreco's scoring ability is obvious to all, and with such an amazing shooting percentage today, Tyreco has a good chance of scoring more than 50 points! And compared with the high shot and low shooting rate of the previous game, Tyreco's performance in this game is obviously more golden, if he can successfully defeat the Thunder, this battle is enough to be regarded as Tyreco's current playoff career's masterpiece! ”
Napier Reez and the others praised Tyreek's performance, and being able to score high points in such a defensive intensity in the playoffs is enough to see Tyreek's strong individual ability, maybe Tyreek's scoring methods are not as diverse as Durant's, but Tyreek's scoring explosion is definitely the top in the entire league!
The performance in the first half tonight was the best proof of this, and this unstoppable scoring frenzy was like a hard punch to the heart of the opponent, and if it weren't for the Thunder, who also have super scorers, the game would have been ruined......
"The cow is very good! Tyreck! In the tunnel, Cousins excitedly patted Tyrek on the shoulder from behind.
Cousins hugged Tyrek and said, "Go on in the second half!" Give me a few more balls, I'm in good shape today, the first two games are really embarrassing, Kendrick is like a wall, I am very unhappy, I must teach him a good lesson! ”
At this time, Tyrek was still immersed in the first half of the game, and the joy of the first half of the shot was fascinating, Cousins slapped Tyrek again, and Tyrek came back to his senses, "That's natural, we have to hold the home field today!" ”
Entering the second half, it can be clearly seen on the field that the Thunder team put most of their energy into the offense, after the first half, the Thunder team obviously thinks that it is obviously not feasible to fight defense with Tyreck, who is in full swing, so it is better to do the superstar offense that they are best at to the extreme, and fully give full play to the offensive ability of Durant, Westbrook, and Harden.
The two teams staged a battle of offense that is not common in the playoffs in the second half, and the two sides went back and forth and did not give in to each other.
Tyrek shook James away. Harden, inside the line, against Serge. Serge Ibaka, pull up along the baseline and make a layup! Hit! Scoring beautifully, it required a lot of physical coordination, and Tyrek did a great job of stretching out in the air, perfectly avoiding Ibaka's interference! ”
Kevin. Durant picks up Russell. Westbrook passes, moves laterally to open up the distance to Caron, and pulls up a jumper from mid-range! Hit! ”
"Tyrek holds the ball in front of the court, gives it to Caron on the wing, Caron gives it to DeMarcus inside, DeMarcus receives the ball and turns back and steps back to make a jumper, Kendrick. Perkins didn't keep up at all, and DeMarcus hit the hollow! ”
"Russell. Westbrook passes the ball to James. Harden, Harden swings three threats at the top of the arc, finds the gap and hits the ground to pass to Westbrook who impacts the basket, Westbrook dunks with both hands! ”
"Tyrek receives Jimmy's pass in front of the court, and makes a half-volley shot from the middle distance! Hit! Tyreco's shooting touch today was really good! He hasn't missed a shot in the middle range today! ”
"It's Terek again! Tyrek played a solo fast attack, and in the face of Collison, who tried to interfere on the spot, Tyrek made his trademark European step, easily formed a breakthrough from the left side of Krisson, and hit a backhand board! ”
The two teams played hotly on the court, but the Thunder still couldn't catch up with the Kings, after all, the Kings' scoring was also rising by the same amount, until the end of the fourth quarter with 2 minutes left, the Kings still led the Thunder by 11 points, and the Thunder also gave up the game, and when the Thunder replaced all the main players, the Sleep Train Arena erupted in earth-shattering cheers!
"The Thunder have come off the bench! At this time, the Thunder announced that they had given up the game, and the team held the game at home, bringing the overall score to 1-2!! Napier was shouting hoarsely from the sidelines, and he was so excited!
Not only him, but the fans in the stadium were excited, when Tyrek was substituted, the fans in the stadium stood up and applauded him, Tyrek clapped his hands to greet the fans, and at the same time walked to the sideline and put his arms around Anjiali's neck, and the two kissed affectionately.
"Big man, you are the hero on the field, and even more so my hero!" Angeli whispered in Tyrek's ear.
Tyrek played 33 minutes and scored 44 points on 15-of-19 shooting, 5-of-5 three-pointers and 9-of-10 free throws, plus seven rebounds and 12 assists. Although Terek was still efficient in the second half, it declined to a certain extent compared to the first half, and finally scored 44 points, failing to break his playoff scoring record, but Tyrek contributed 12 assists in this game, which led the whole team well, Francisco scored a personal playoff high 18 points, and DeMarcus fully recovered, scoring a big double-double of 26 points and 17 boards. The Thunder's Durant also scored 36 points, and Westbrook and Harden both scored 20+, but in the end, it was our team that had the last laugh on our own home court! Maintain such a competitive spirit and condition, who will advance to the Western Conference Finals is not certain! ”
With Thomas Jr. dribbling and waiting for the game to run out, the Kings won Game 3 of the series 121-111 at home, and the battle will continue......
