Chapter 361: The Second Encounter, Caught in a Bitter Battle

In the pre-game warm-up, Hoggist flowed to the Thunder's half again, Durant and Westbrook both stopped shooting, Westbrook said angrily: "I know you played in Denver yesterday, and Kobe Bryant won't play today, if you make excuses for your loss in advance, then you can shut up and turn around and go back!" ”

"Russell, why are you so mean? Let's hear what he has to say! What if the little brother Haugist is here to admit it? Durant sang and taunted Haugist.

"What are the two YY? It's true that we are not in good shape today, and we lack important players, so we can't win you by more than 30 points today, but not winning 30 points and not winning the ball are two concepts, Kevin last game you blocked Paul's lore, the Lakers and the Clippers are in Los Angeles, sharing Staples as the home court, although we are the opponents of the same city, but we are also a brother team externally, the younger brother was bullied, we naturally can't sit idly by as an elder brother, today I want to replace the Clippers to win this victory, for them to take a good breath! Although Hoggist has no bottom in his heart, he will never show weakness in his mouth, if he lets the opponent see that he has no bottom in his heart, then the opponent will be more confident.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I heard you right, do you still think the Lakers can win? And instead of the Clippers to teach us a lesson? Westbrook laughed, "Then I'll wish you Turner brothers the best of luck in the last game!" ”

"The Lakers aren't the only ones on the team, maybe Randle scored 50 points today? Or maybe Jeremy made 10 three-pointers? Anyway we're going to win the game today and have Christmas fun! Hougist waved at the two and walked back to the Lakers bench.

"Big brother, I really convinced you, do you dare to provoke us in this state today? What's wrong with not being miserable enough? Turner also didn't give Hoggist a good look.

"You're a layman, aren't you? When we are strong, we can show the enemy to be weak and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but both sides of the enemy and we are very clear that we are now in a weak position, and then show weakness at this time, that is, wagging the tail and begging for mercy, the last game was when we beat the water dogs, this time it should be their turn to beat the water dogs! Hogist patiently explained to Turner, believing that Turner's understanding should understand why.

"Can we bluff and intimidate our opponents?" Turner asked, puzzled.

"Alas, you Americans are too straight to turn around," Hougist sighed, "and there are not only two outcomes of a thing, but there is a degree between right and wrong, and I must intimidate my opponent if I bluff?" I just need to make the opponent doubt whether our strength is really weak, there will be hesitation, once there is hesitation, once it is hesitant, there will always be a flaw when changing the defense! ”

"Eh, don't say it, it seems to be true!" Turner suddenly realized, "You Chinese are too smart, no, it should be said that they are too cunning!" ”

"You better describe me as witty!" Hoggist smiled, "By the way, can you still hit every shot like the last game against the Thunder?" ”

"Where do I say that? When the time comes, maybe I'll be even more fierce than the last one? Saying that, Turner threw the ball in his hand to the basket with a super hook outside the three-point line, only to hear the sound of "brush", and the ball went straight through the net. Turner himself was the first to cry out in surprise, "I'm a good girl!" Am I right? Can this also go in? ”

After saying that, Turner looked at the surprised eyes of his teammates, and proudly put his arm on Haugist's shoulder, "See, I'm so accurate!" Don't worry, you can continue to feed me today, tonight's game is stable! ”

Horgist glanced at the Thunder's side, and found that although Durant and Westbrook were silent on their faces, they were secretly looking over here, knowing that they must have seen this ball and must have been bluffed, so he deliberately patted Turner exaggeratedly, "That's right, try to help you break your single-game scoring record tonight, so that you can brush a 40+!" ”

The Thunder's starters tonight are no different from the previous game, and the Lakers let Jeremy Lin partner Nick in order to maintain the offensive power and tactical execution of the second team. Young played off the bench, and Reed was promoted to the starting point guard position, putting Hoggist in the No. 2 position, letting Randle play the No. 3 position, and letting Blake start the No. 4 position. This time Adams beat Turner again and didn't let the Lakers steal a second point.

Wei Shao dribbled to the front court and handed it directly to Durant, who gave the ball to Roberson at the top of the arc. Adams made an outside off-ball screen for Durant in the elbow zone, Durant ran down the perimeter to the low post, and Roberson gave the ball to Adams after Durant cut through the screen.

After Adams received the ball, Durant ran back to the wing from the same road, Horgist followed closely and had no chance to catch the ball, so he went around Adams and went to the middle to cut to the basket, Adams hit the ground to give the ball to Durant and then also went down the paint sideline. Durant received the ball and hit the ground directly and returned the ball to Adams, Adams was caught by the Lakers three-man under the basket, and the strong layup was blocked by Turner from behind, and Houggist picked up the rebound from the ground, reflexively dribbled and rushed to the court.

The Thunder quickly retreated, and Hougist didn't find an easy chance to score in the frontcourt, so he controlled the ball and waited for his teammates to settle down. Turner landed on the elbow zone and asked for the ball, and Haugist decisively passed the ball over. Turner responded with the ball in one hand, watched his team-mate's movements, and then distributed the ball to the weak wing.

Hougist received the ball on the weak wing, borrowed Randle's cover to move to the bottom corner, and in the process of moving, he hit the ball through the combined defense of Durant and Robertson to Randle, Randle forced the basket, and Adams, who faced the supplementary defense, and then distributed the ball to Turner, who followed up to the basket, Turner received the ball and was ready to dunk with both hands, but was destroyed by Adams' forced foul. Turner stepped to the free-throw line and easily hit both free throws, showing the "strong" firepower of the night.

Wei Shao received the serve and went directly to Durant in the front court, and Durant threw the ball to Roberson who came around from the bottom corner, and the biggest difference between this game and the previous game was that Robertson was more active in the offense. Robertson even held the ball and looked like he was about to break through, but in the end he just pretended to give the ball to Wei Shao on the wing.

Wei Shao borrowed Adams to cover and break through to the basket in the middle, jumped up in the paint area and threw the ball to Adams who was outflanked on the side, although Turner hugged Adams after losing his position and took the initiative to foul, but Adams still forced the ball into the basket. Adams played a standard two-plus-one, and it appears that the Thunder have worked on each player's weaknesses after the last heavy loss.

Unfortunately, Adams strengthened his strength and increased the success rate of the strong attack, but the free throw shooting percentage did not improve, and the free throw was missed, and Turner collected the rebound. The Reeds dribbled to the frontcourt, Turner and Blake doubled high to cover, but the Reeds did not choose to break through, but distributed the ball to Blake, and then went around the bottom corner from behind Blake to make an off-ball cover for Haugistt in the bottom corner.

Horgist ran to the wing to receive Blake's hand pass, did not rush to dribble, but held the ball on the spot for three threats, just when Durant guessed which side Horgist would go to break through, Horgist suddenly hit the ground and gave the ball to the inside, it turned out that Blake took advantage of Hugist's attention to attract the opponent's defensive attention and went directly to the basket from the wing, and was already very close to the basket.

Under the basket, Adams hurriedly raised his arms high to make up for the defense, but Blake distributed the ball from the baseline side to Turner in the low post on the weak side, and Turner easily hit a mid-range jumper unguarded. Durant went back to the basket and drove the ball to Westbrook, Wei Shao quickly dribbled to the Lakers halfcourt, was hit by a reed in the low post, and sat in the paint area in two hits, in order to avoid the defensive block Westbrook turned to the side of the line and received a step-back jumper.

Reed dribbled to the front court and passed the ball to Turner in the elbow zone, who sat down in the low post with two backs and then distributed the ball to Randle in the opposite elbow zone, who in turn passed to Hoggist in the bottom corner on the same side. Haugist made two shooting feints, Durant was indifferent, seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of Haugist's use of Blake's cover to come to the wing outside the three-point line, against the switching Ibaka Burga, in the face of Ibaka Haugist confidently handed over the crotch to dribble, retreated to a distance of 3 feet outside the three-point line, and directly forced a three-point shot.

Adams kicked off to Westbrook, Wei Shao quickly passed the halfcourt, stole the bell with lightning speed into the paint area, jumped up and passed to Roberson who cut from the bottom corner to the basket, although Robertson improved the enthusiasm of the offense, but he is not rich in offensive experience, this time the route chosen by the air cut is really bad, it can only be said that he still has a brain, did not step on the bottom line. But his position is still very close to the bottom line, and after receiving Wei Shao's pass, the whole person is directly behind the rebound, and he can't shoot.

Everyone thought he had no choice but to pass the ball, and Randle wanted to use his physical confrontation to push him out of the line. But it was such a desperate situation that allowed Robertson to walk out of a bright village, he held the ball in his arms, jumped sideways from Randle's side, and his body was almost in the air in an angular arch posture directly to the rebound, don't look at the awkward posture, he really scored the ball.

Reed dribbled the ball to the front court and gave it to Randle on the wing, and Randle directly distributed the ball to Haugist in the strong side corner. After the ball, Randle suddenly activated, using Turner's cover to go outside from the elbow area to the strong side of the low post, Horgist's ball passed an advance amount, Randle cut to the low post when the ball hit the ground and bounced in front of him, Randle received the ball and jumped up with his arm to dunk the ball into the basket.

Westbrook dribbled to the frontcourt, controlled the ball at the top of the arc and waited for his teammates to run, Durant first ran outside in the low post on the right side, and after bypassing Adams' screen, he suddenly turned back and cut to the bottom corner of the other side to receive the ball. Although Durant's running route was very wise, turning Turner and Blake into a wall of people who helped him block Hoggist's tracking in the process of walking the baseline and cutting into the air, Hougist was more resourceful, and he completely gave up on defending Durant in this ball, and ran directly to the wing.

The connection from the low post on one side to the elbow area on the other was the vacuum of the Lakers' defense, and Hougist made it to the wing without much effort and reached directly to intercept the ball from the top of the arc to Durant. Hougist broke the ball and rushed straight to the front of the court, facing Westbrook at the top of the arc.

Howgist faced Westbrook's direct fake pass to the side of the reed, Wei Shao was really fooled and threw himself straight at the reed, making way for Howgist to make a road to the basket. Naturally, Hoggist would not be polite anymore, rushed to the basket with an arrow step, jumped up directly and sent a 360-degree turn and a windmill dunk to pay tribute to Carter in the 2000 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

Durant returned to the backcourt and played the ball to Wei Shao, who dribbled to the frontcourt and borrowed Adams to cover the outside and burst to the edge of the paint area for a pull-up jumper. Although the ball was missed, Ibaka caused Blake's push foul when he was scrambling for a rebound, helping the Thunder regain possession.

The Thunder served the ball from the sideline by Durant, and Westbrook leaned directly on the reeds in the low post to ask for the ball. Durant hoisted the ball to Wei Shao, and Wei Shao hit the reed directly with his back. Wei Shao's physical advantage was too obvious, he completely squeezed out of the reeds in two strokes, and his back was completely empty, Wei Shao easily turned around and jumped up to the basket, and deliberately chose to find a board in order to seek stability, but he didn't expect the ball to smash on the rebound The angle of the rebound was deviated, and the ball actually fell out of the basket.

Fortunately, Adams under the basket blocked the Lakers and took off the rebound, Adams accepted the rebound and wanted to dunk strongly, but before Blake could cut the ball, Adams threw the ball off his own hand. Adams jumped in the air and lost the ball in his hand, but his body still made a dunk movement according to inertia, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground when he did not have the ball in his hand.

The ball was thrown into the paint by Adams, and the Lakers basket was immediately a mess, but the ball was picked up by Robertson. Robertson picked up the ball and jumped straight past Adams to put the ball in the hoop.

Reed dribbled to the front court and gave the ball to Hoggist in the bottom corner. In the face of Durant's defense, Horgist held the ball and shook it twice in the direction of the line, and then suddenly started to dribble with his left hand to the right to change direction, took a big step to near the low baseline, and directly stopped and jumped from a negative angle. This action made nearly 20,000 Staples fans see the glory of the past in a trance, and the scene resounded with bursts of cheers.

Wei Shao dribbled to the frontcourt and gave Adams the top of the arc, and Adams gave Robertson to the wing, and Robertson fell from the wing to Durant in the bottom corner, and Durant held the ball to face Hougist's defense, intending to return a single. Durant held the ball with his back and wanted to push inside, but he still couldn't take advantage of the same game as the previous game, so Durant suddenly turned around and faced the basket head-on, and directly picked up his arm and made a foul layup, causing Haugist's beater to foul and get two free throw opportunities.
