"Good Ball ——!!!"

In the 2012 NBA playoffs, in the second game of the first round of the Western Conference, the Kings challenged the Thunder away.

The game had come to the middle of the fourth quarter.

"Steady, steady!"

On the court, the difference between the two sides was 14 points, and the Kings had maintained a very terrifying offensive from the beginning, and in the middle of the second quarter, they had already scored 50 points.

This momentum was maintained until about 4 minutes left in the second quarter, and after a wonderful offensive foul, Gu Yu, who was exhausted and played from the beginning to almost the end of the half, was finally replaced.

"Whew......!"

Back on the bench, Gu Yu's hands and feet were very sore, he took a towel and put it on his head, took the water cup and drank a big sip of sports drink, and then leaned back, unable to move anymore.

Fortunately, the trainer of the Kings team reacted in time, and he could see at a glance that something was wrong with Gu Yu's legs and feet, and stepped forward to relieve Gu Yu's fatigue with massage, ice and other methods.

But before halftime, with Gu Yu's state, he would definitely not be able to play.

"Fight back......!!"

The Thunder seized the opportunity and fielded the most fearsome lineup: Westbrook, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Sergi Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins.

This lineup is both offensive and defensive, whether it is a fast running offensive and defensive transition, or a slow offensive half-court offense and defense, there is no flaw.

On the Kings' side, due to the overdraft of Gu Yu and Thompson in the first half of the second quarter, in the last four minutes before halftime, only Evans, Garcia, and Cousins could be sent three starters.

Even Thorton on the bench has quite good offensive firepower, but in the face of Harden's offensive and defensive pressure, Thorton is still a little overwhelmed.

Westbrook's long-awaited physicality exploded and put Evans under pressure on both ends of the floor. And Durant also gave in the face of Garcia, and Perkins used his height and weight to entangle Cousins, and almost locked his cousin's basket offense for a while.

Under the elimination of the other, the Thunder played a wave of scoring, and as everyone expected, they really took advantage of the gap in lineup matching to score crazy points, and at halftime, chased the difference to only 10 points.

Brooks' gamble was a success or a failure, and the final four minutes were truly impressive, holding down the Kings on both ends of the floor and closing a 12-point gap.

But it was precisely because of Brooks's previous persistence that when Gu Yu was still on the court, the lead he led the king to play was too huge. So much so that at halftime, the Thunder were still trailing by double-digit points.

After that, in the third quarter, the Kings continued to make unexpected adjustments.

"The Kings' starting No. 2 in the second half was ...... Thornton! ”

Thornton, who played the last four minutes of the second quarter, was physically fit after halftime, and the Kings started to run the offense with Evans and Cousins as the core, and the two aces inside and outside were almost just feints, and Thorton began to circle with Safrosa.

Harden sat on the bench and was anxious, watching Thorton use his speed and projection advantages, as well as the attraction of the two big brothers on the inside and outside, to frequently score points in the middle and long distances.

Wrap it up, Thornton will explode, chase Thornton, Cousins and Evans' blocking and pick-and-roll will start to play its role again.

Under the dilemma, Safrosa played extremely aggrieved, the defense was weak, and the offensive end was also upset, and he failed to shoot in several open positions, and the Kings once again stretched the difference to about 15 points.

This period of tactical play, Brooks, lost again.

"The Thunder's talent and quality are enough to go further, and I would say they definitely have a chance to be a Finals-caliber team this year."

In the face of such a situation, Albert, who has already started the live broadcast of the bull and horse battle, also specially mentioned the battle situation on the side of the King Thunder in the live broadcast, and sighed with pity: "Now the person who has become a further constraint to the Thunder team has become Brooks......!" ”

Tactical thinking has always been half a beat slow, Brooks was tricked by Westphal with experience, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, the tactical level of each round was already unable to solve the problem, it was too late.

There is only one option to deal with this situation.

Harden had to play early.

"Harden is back, and the Thunder have put out their strongest lineup again!"

With Harden as the second tactical initiator and ball-holding point, the Thunder's offense instantly came alive. Harden's physical advantage also allowed him to not suffer at all on the defensive end against Thorton.

Thornton was restrained at this point, and the Kings' offensive focus returned to Evans and Cousins. The Thunder could guess with their toes who the Kings were going to pass the ball to, and made a couple of beautiful bag and clamp combinations in a row.

After making a mistake or missing a shot, the Thunder and other Scuds started a 4X100 relay competition, launching a crazy counterattack with a speed rarely seen in the world. After several rounds of counterattacks, the Thunder once again narrowed the gap to within 10 points.

With six minutes left in the third quarter, the Kings made another substitution.

"Hairstyle brother is back......!!"

Gu Yu appeared again.

"This is the king's last trick ......!"

Reggie Miller explained the bull and horse battle, but the heart, but still here in the energy arena, he knew very well what the king thought, Zhengse said: "Both sides want to play the time difference, using one of the best players on the team as the sixth man, to put pressure on the opponent's bench. ”

"The only difference is that on the Thunder's side, this practice has been the norm since the beginning of the regular season. Although Harden is powerful, in the Thunder team, if the pure strength ranking, can only be ranked third for the time being. ”

As he spoke, Reggie Miller glanced at the small screen in front of him that only he and Albert could see.

"The Kings are completely different, Thorton is in the team, about the fourth player in the strength ranking. Most of the time, Thorton played as a substitute, and his attacking firepower was enough to give most opponents a headache. But the Thunder has Harden, the best sixth-man level master, Thorton and Harden are in the opposite position, competing for the ability to lead the team, and naturally they are one percent. ”

"Now Westphall uses the hairstyle brother - I personally think the Kings team is in the top two players - as the sixth man in the second half, and the destructive power after coming on the court is naturally more terrible than Thornton, and even more terrible than Harden!"

“…… Swish! ”

On the court, after coming on the court, Gu Yu really immediately entered the attack mode, holding the ball to face Harden's defense, opening up the space with a tentative step, using the skills taught to him by Melon Anthony, destroying Harden's defensive center of gravity in place, and then a lateral acceleration directly pulled out, and the shot was successful.

"In order to solve the problem of the disadvantage of the lineup, Brooks replaced Harden on the court early, which was regarded as the last card he could use in terms of personnel rotation in this game, and the effect was quite good."

Reggie Miller continued: "Now it's Westfaal's turn to make a move, and the last card has been played in advance, and in the next games, I'm afraid the hairstyle brother won't play again......!" ”

Reggie Miller said a prophecy, and sure enough, Westphale put Gu Yu back on the field after letting Gu Yu rest for about half an hour in a row, and he was no longer ready to let him go.

THIS STUD-STYLE SHO-HAND ROTATION PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE THUNDER. Originally, Harden played about two minutes in the morning, and according to Brooks's normal rotation thinking, Harden should have rested with about two minutes left in the third quarter, and returned to the court with about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter to play with the main lineup.

But Gu Yu's return gave the Kings team's transition lineup terrifying offensive firepower, and when Wei Shao and Durant on the Thunder's side had to rest, Brooks didn't dare to replace Harden at all, so he could only continue to let Harden lead the team on the court.

"Because only in this way can the Thunder maintain a balance of power with the Kings ......!"

Albert's judgment was completely correct, under Gu Yu's increasingly manic offensive firepower, Harden's composure and old spiciness played a key role. led the team to bite the score, and Harden burst out to touch the porcelain, showing enough instant combat power to lead a team alone and support the whole team's offense.

It's just that unlike Gu Yu, Harden uses his offensive threat as an opportunity to tear up the defense and attract the bag, looking for opportunities to make balls for his teammates, and drive the whole team to attack.

Gu Yu, on the other hand, was even more simple and rude, and in Thorton's absence, he led his teammates, who almost had no personal offensive ability to hold the ball, and simply adopted an Iverson-style style of play:

Defend with all your strength, and leave the offense to me ......!

This delicate balance of power has continued to this day.

“…… Bang! ”

“NICE！！！”

With the last six and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, James Harden continued to lead the team alone, and after a change of direction between the marches, he stepped on the European step to the inside, and finally jumped to the highest point in one step and completed a one-handed dunk.

"Harden is amazing!"

In the live broadcast room, the barrage has been brushed up, and in the entire connection section, the wonderful performances led by Harden and Gu Yu made JRS very excited.

This is what the NBA should look like in memory!

"In my opinion, if Harden goes to a bad team to play the core, there will be no problem with the average data of 20+5+5 per game!"

There is a barrage god who has given a judgment, which has been recognized by many people.

"Huh!"

Looking back, Gu Yu was not ambiguous at all, in the face of Harden's defense, he continued to shake his crotch to find rhythm, and suddenly bullied himself and took half a step forward, causing Harden to retreat The moment he pulled back, he pulled up a backward and continued to hit the shot!

"Beep beep——! Thunder Request Timeout!! ”

Brooks, can't sit still.

"Humph......"

After completing the offense, Gu Yu felt the hot feeling that his hands were almost starting to burst into flames, took a deep look at Harden, and was about to turn around and walk to the bench to take a break.

"Don't dare to go inside, only dare to shoot, soft egg!!"

In the stands, some fans who don't have long eyes scolded like this.

"What ...... you say??"

Gu Yu rubbed on his body, and the flames rose directly.

Turning around and calming down, Gu Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to the shouting fan in the stands, with a single mouth, all the JRS in the YY live broadcast room immediately began to laugh out loud, and countless barrages almost filled the screen with Gu Yu's mouth shape.

“…… Lost Lei Lou !! ”

"Beep!! Kings No. 22, technical foul !! ”

Not surprisingly, Gu Yu took another technical foul......

“…… Hahaha!! ”

When Albert and Reggie Miller, who were far away in San Antonio, heard the news, they immediately laughed and couldn't stand up with laughter, and reached out to slap the table.

"Hairstyle brother hahaha...... Sure enough, it's uncomfortable not to eat technical offenses! Hahahaha!! ”

Albert played an extremely old meme.

"Haha, that's true!"

Reggie Miller nodded, and couldn't help but smile: "But then again, it's still about 15 points, do you think the Thunder still have a chance?" ”

"Yes."

Albert said: "Although Harden's consumption is very strong, the hairstyle brother is almost at the physical bottleneck, but on the Thunder's side, Durant and Wei Shao have hardly overdrawn today, and their physical strength is very good!" ”

"I don't think I have a chance."

Reggie Miller shook his head and said, "Wei Shao and Durant are in good physical condition, but Evans and Cousins basically don't consume much. ”

"That's what I said, but ......"

Albert glanced at the real-time technical stats in his hand.

"On the king's side, there is a big problem that is difficult to solve......
