Chapter 13: Attacking the Kaleidoscope
The Thunder also quickly attacked with the ball, and Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
This has always been the usual trick of the Thunder, and even after Durant leaves, Westbrook will be even crazier this season.
Westbrook rushed to the front court with the ball at a gallop, and without waiting for Rondo to set up his defense, his body shook, his body crossed and changed direction, and he accelerated and rushed into the inside!
Westbrook's first move isn't the fastest in the league, but it can definitely be in the top five.
And what's even more terrifying is that he dribbles at a very low height. He is a ball that defenders can't easily break.
This, combined with his drastic change of direction, makes it difficult for Westbrook to defend.
Although Rondo is a good defender, there is nothing he can do in the face of Westbrook's breakthrough.
As soon as Westbrook got inside, he threw himself in the air and made a difficult drifting layup to score the ball.
2:2, Westbrook's goal was like a rain, extinguishing the fire in the hearts of 76ers fans.
Looking at Westbrook's layup, Zhang Zifeng felt that this guy would fall to the ground every time he waited, and then was helped to the hospital.
But each time, it was quick to see this guy get up from the ground and run back to defend like a nobody.
Although Westbrook is his opponent, Zhang Zifeng has to respect his fighting spirit.
However, Zhang Zifeng will not show mercy to his subordinates, and his kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself.
The arena is so cruel and unforgiving.
Offensive and defensive transitions.
The 76ers returned to the Thunder's halfcourt.
Rondo controlled the ball from the outside, and Ibaka mentioned that the outside did a block for Rondo.
When Westbrook was blocked, he bypassed to chase Rondo, but he was more than a second late.
Just over a second, it was enough for Rondo.
Rondo shook off Westbrook and went inside. As soon as he arrived in the penalty area, seeing that Sabonis and Adams were crowded in the penalty area, Rondo threw the ball vigorously to the outside and passed the ball back to Zhang Zifeng's hand.
Oladipo was secretly happy that he was not distracted this time and caught up with Zhang Zifeng as soon as possible.
Zhang Zifeng took advantage of the situation directly after receiving the ball, and when Oladipo just wanted to catch up, he found that Grant was already standing by his side waiting for him.
Zhang Zifeng was suddenly like a sharp sword, inserted into the inner line.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng enter the forbidden area with a fierce attitude, Adams was enraged.
This bastard even wants to dunk on Lao Tzu's head!
Even if you fight for a foul, you must not let this bastard succeed!
Adams jumped up, and his right hand went directly towards Zhang Zifeng.
Facing Adams, who flew up, Zhang Zifeng collected the ball in the air, and then collided directly with the opponent.
In the exclamation of the fans in the audience, the bodies of the two people collided directly in the air.
If it was before, this collision, I am afraid that Zhang Zifeng would have been knocked away a long time ago, but this time Zhang Zifeng was only interrupted from flying, but he was in the air with his strong waist strength, adjusting his balance and changing the dunk to shooting.
In Adams' stunned eyes, Zhang Zifeng raised his hand in the air.
The ball flew out from Zhang Zifeng's fingertips and flew past Adams's fingertips.
Swish!
The crisp sound of brushing the net.
The goal was scored, accompanied by the referee's whistle.
defensive fouls, and one!
Seeing the referee's gesture, the entire Wells Fargo Center Arena suddenly resounded with thunderous cheers!
Seeing Zhang Zifeng score a 3-pointer successfully, the 76ers' bench boiled over the situation.
Brett. Brown was also extremely amazed, because he didn't expect that Zhang Zifeng, who was already good enough in his opinion, would be even better this season.
Brett. Brown has seen a lot of players who excelled in their first season and then degraded from their second season to pride or to slack off after they got rich.
But Zhang Zifeng was not satisfied, he was still full of ambition and fighting spirit. Sweat in exchange for a better version of yourself, to pursue the highest glory championship.
From a guy who basically could only shoot, then quickly learned to step to the basket, then to turn and shoot.
Now Zhang Zifeng's physical confrontation ability has been strengthened again, and he can already impact the basket fearlessly and play in the air.
Is this ball luck?
At least Barkley, at least the 76ers don't think so, they all see how Zhang Zifeng trains diligently and hard.
Zhang Zifeng hit a free throw, 2:5.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng's brilliance, Westbrook randomly used a mid-range shot to help the Thunder team bite the score and tell the 76ers.
With me, don't think you'll win easily today!
When he retreated to the defense, he saw Zhang Zifeng receiving the ball again, and the first two times were to impact the basket. Oladipo thought that Zhang Zifeng was going to attack the inside line again this time, so he took half a step back and was vigilant.
But what Oladipo didn't expect was that after Zhang Zifeng received the ball, he jumped up directly!
In the air, Zhang Zifeng stretched his body and threw the ball.
"What's the situation!?"
This was an extremely sudden move, and Oladipo, who was in charge of defending Zhang Zifeng, was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and quickly pounced.
Too late, Oladipo could only watch the ball fly overhead in front of his eyes and towards the basket behind him.
Barkley saw it and shouted loudly, "Hahaha, Oladipo must have seen Zhang Zifeng resolutely play the inside twice, forgetting that this guy was the shooter who won the three-point contest last season!" ”
In the air, a wonderful parabola was drawn into the net.
In the first game of the new season, Zhang Zifeng was very excited and very active on the offensive end.
Zhang Zifeng was very excited, and Oladipo realized that he was tragic today.
In the first quarter, Zhang Zifeng staged a variety of offensive techniques such as breakthrough throwing, three-point long shooting, emergency stop jump shot, turning and shooting, and reflexive dunking from the bottom line, which was like an offensive kaleidoscope.
The first quarter completely turned into Zhang Zifeng's exhibition game, as if Zhang Zifeng was showing everyone his offensive skills.
Oladipo, who defended him, couldn't defend effectively at all, and in the face of Zhang Zifeng, let alone blocking, he couldn't even interfere, and could only watch the opponent send the ball into the basket again and again.
With only 1 minute and 51 seconds left in the first quarter, Zhang Zifeng was replaced by head coach Brett. After Brown came off the court, he scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter to help the 76ers 31-22 and lead the Thunder by 9 points.
When Zhang Zifeng left the field, the fans stood up and applauded him.
