Chapter 468: Provocation (10/10)
The referee walked to the center of the field with the ball, pointed to Jordan Jr. and Adams, and then threw the ball up.
Amid the deafening cheers of the fans at the scene, the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the two sides officially began.
“Let’s.go! thunders! ”
At the beginning of the game, the crowd was full of passion, and the huge shouts made the home team look full of momentum.
Adams won the first offensive opportunity for the home team.
Westbrook carried the ball to the frontcourt, beckoned the opponent to block Durant, and when Durant ran over, he handed the ball over with a single hit.
Judging from the fact that he didn't even look at the basket, it seems that he is really ready not to shoot once as he said in the interview before the game.
The Thunder team is a team with very distinctive characteristics, no matter who is the head coach, their tactics are single-based, commonly known as the "XJBD ancestor", double less to take the ball is a round bombardment, in fact, this is not because of the head coach's ability, if you have two players in your hands can completely rely on their personal ability to overturn the opponent, then it is meaningless to set too many tactics.
This time was no exception, after Durant received the ball, the other players pulled away directly, he faced Brewer, and after a tentative breakthrough, he followed a direct dry pull.
Durant is tall and has long arms, fast speed, the most important shot is accurate, and the exclusive dry pull bag is full of lethality.
The cheers rose to a piercing decibel level, and the Oklahoma City fans gave vent to their hearts.
Tang Shuai frowned slightly, just this decibel is definitely noise, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable to listen to, this is just like forcibly turning on the auxiliary when playing a game.
Fortunately, the sound was only for a moment, and by the time he advanced with the ball, the fans had already quieted down.
He drove up front with the ball and Westbrook was in front of him.
“defense!”
The scene was followed by another burst of monstrous shouts.
"Come on! Come! Westbrook clapped his hands directly in front of him and shouted.
Tang Shuai didn't pay attention to him, and stretched out his hand to beckon the opponent to run tactics.
Booker ran out with Brewer's pick-and-roll, and after receiving the ball, he shot a three-pointer directly.
However, Robertson's defensive ability is really good, and Booker uses his arm span to interfere when he shoots.
Booker's three-pointer deflected a bit, and after a "bang", the shot finally popped out of the basket.
The rebound was snatched by Adams, looking at the five big and three thick, he was directly twice as big as Jordan Jr., and he was quite dominant when grabbing rebounds.
After Adams grabbed the rebound, he didn't think about it at all, just threw it forward, and Westbrook just ran to catch the ball and then rushed to the frontcourt.
His speed was fast, like lightning from the backcourt to the frontcourt, continuously getting rid of Tang Shuai and Booker's defense, rushing directly to the frontcourt, and then jumping up in the run was directly a powerful split.
Westbrook has a purple dunk bag, and more importantly, he loves dunks, and he will never go to the basket where he can solve it with a dunk in the game.
At this moment, the body unfolded, the face was hideous, and the powerful slash and buckle like the basket had a grudge, which directly set the entire arena on fire.
After the dunk, Westbrook roared directly at the audience, his eyes wide and he kept shouting.
The cheers on the scene are endless, this is Westbrook's style of play, flamboyant, arrogant, this is also one of the main reasons why Oklahoma City fans are crazy, with such a flamboyant team core, it is difficult not to be emotionally driven.
On the offense of the Clippers, Tang Shuai continued to organize the offense, and this time he took advantage of Booker's gap to attract the defense, and directly passed the ball to Smith under the basket without looking at anyone.
The ball was passed quite beautifully, and basically Smith was in an unguarded state when the ball arrived, which also caused the fans at the scene to be surprised.
However, Smith may not have cooperated with Tang Shuai for a long time, some preparations are not very sufficient, although he successfully caught the ball, but the shot was obviously slower, and it was this shot, Ibaka rushed from behind, and at the moment he shot, it was directly a big blow that flew the fan out of the field.
After the ball flew away, Westbrook threw his head back and roared, and his excitement was even more exaggerated than that of Ibaka, who was blocked.
The cheers were also deafening, and this was Westbrook's passion, as if there was never anything called tiredness in the body.
The Clippers' sideline ball, Brewer served outside, he was looking for Tang Shuai, but Westbrook was close to the defense and didn't give a chance to catch the ball, Brewer could only pass the ball to Booker in the end, Booker tried to break through Robertson, but when he dribbled, the ball was slapped off, and the basketball that rolled down was grabbed by Westbrook who turned back.
A mistake by the Clippers!
"Retreat! Retreated! Cassel shouted loudly from the sidelines.
Westbrook's momentum of playing is still there, but after the series with the Spurs, it has obviously become calmer, and when he saw that there was no fast break opportunity, he directly suppressed the rhythm and slowly dribbled to the frontcourt.
It was Durant again, and after a no-ball block, Westbrook hit the ground in, and he faced Brewer's defense in a signature big loop in the air, which was directly a light basket score and added 2 points to the Thunder.
6 to 0!
The Thunder started with a momentum of momentum.
In fact, this result is also a true reflection of the strength of both sides, not to mention the problem of home and away performance, even if Tang Shuai's strength is barely exploding with Westbrook now, but there are still many Durant over there, which cannot be redeemed by life or death.
Tang Shuai organized several more offenses, but they were unsuccessful, especially Booker, maybe he was a little nervous to play the starter, or maybe Robertson's defense on the opposite side was really good, he missed all 4 shots, and he didn't score a point for a few minutes, which is similar to the performance of the Warriors.
The two sides played half a quarter, 13-4, relying on Jordan Jr.'s missed two-pointer and Brewer's two free throws, the Clippers barely let the Thunder stretch the margin to double digits.
On the offense of the Clippers, Tang Shuai held the ball to the front court and wanted to organize his teammates to attack, but at this moment, Westbrook suddenly said to him: "Why don't you dare to attack?" Are you scared? ”
Tang Shuai still didn't care about Westbrook's words, Westbrook would say this kind of thing, obviously he was prepared, if he really did it alone, he would be tricked.
In fact, there is no problem with his strategy in this game, but the feeling of his teammates is really average, so there will be such a situation.
Seeing that Tang Shuai was unmoved, Westbrook said in an accentuated tone: "Don't say 20 points, I see that you can't score 10 points in a game now!" ”
Tang Shuai frowned when he heard this.
"Your teammates can't help you, you can't help your team, admit it." Westbrook said unrelentingly, and it could be seen that Tang Shuai had been not fighting, which made him feel very unhappy.
Tang Shuai finally gave up the idea of organizing the attack, Westbrook's trash talk was too harsh, and his teammates did not feel good, if he didn't step up, the game might not have been spent in half time.
Instead of talking trash to Westbrook, he reached out and motioned for his teammates to pull away.
When this move came out, Westbrook's face immediately burst into excitement, and the audience also let out a burst of cheers.
After watching the "boring" game in the first few minutes, the highlights of the game finally began to appear.
For Thunder fans, their favorite thing to watch is this Mars vs. Earth matchup.
Tang Shuai began to shake, and the AI-exclusive corssover bag was activated, and the shaking cross steps drove a feint full of changes, making people look in a trance.
However, Westbrook kept his center of gravity still, staring at Tang Shuai with his eyes, and it could be seen that he was 100% focused.
Tang Shuai directly accelerated to the right, the speed was so fast that Westbrook had to retreat to the right.
And at this moment, he suddenly changed direction to the left, and then quickly pushed forward.
This kind of ball, because the first step started quickly and suddenly, if you are an ordinary person, even a defensive player of Robertson's level, has basically been passed, but Westbrook actually defended it hard, not because of his excellent defensive ability, but because of his body, relying on his perverted physical fitness, he actually forcibly adjusted his center of gravity.
Tang Shuai was surprised, but then there was another change of direction to the right.
Three changes of direction in the high-speed breakthrough are already the limit of what Tang Shuai can do now, he has no choice, and after three steps, he is infinitely close to the basket, followed by a light Weiping Bryant-style hook hand.
Westbrook even followed!
The physical fitness is simply against the sky!
At the moment when Tang Shuai made a move, Westbrook's jump was a disturbance.
Although he couldn't get basketball, he still managed to interfere with Tang Shuai's shot.
Wei Ping Bryant's hook bag is only a blue skill package after all, and the shooting rate is greatly affected after being interfered with, "bang", the basketball smashed to the back edge of the basket, and the basket rushed for a while, and the ball was directly poked out of bounds by Jordan Jr.
Thunder's ball possession!
After the ball went out of bounds, Westbrook directly beat his chest and raised his head loudly and yelled, and the excitement was even more exciting than when he dunked just now.
Tang Shuai's brows furrowed slightly.
When the roar was over, Westbrook shouted at him directly: "I said, you can't do it, I said, you can't do it!" ”
Tang Shuai slammed his fist, Westbrook really got in touch with him.
On the offense of the Thunder, Durant turned and hit Brewer, and the shooting in the drift was still a solid hit.
With this mid-range shot, the Thunder have stretched the margin to double digits.
Tang Shuai's face was gloomy at this time, and after he advanced to the front court with the ball, he directly made a blocking gesture to Little Jordan.
In any case, he had to respond positively. (To be continued.) )
