Chapter 347: Emotional Players (3/4)
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Smith dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!
Violent abuse box!
Smith was nicknamed the "Eagle King" at the beginning, in addition to being the core of the Hawks, another point is because of his bounce, as a strong dunk, his dunk is full of explosive power and ornamentation, in terms of dunk alone, he is undoubtedly the fiercest one on the court.
After the dunk, Smith looked extremely excited, and there was a beastly roar at the audience, and both of them thumped his chest.
The fans at the scene cheered again.
With Smith's dunk hit, the Clippers chased the deficit to just 8 points!
Donovan's face was ugly, he didn't call a timeout, but he made all the starters.
Cassel held his chin in his hand and did not make personnel adjustments.
Westbrook swelled his biceps at this time, and then he came on the court, as if he would always be a trapped beast, as long as he was released, he would kill all sides.
Tang Shuai saw Westbrook playing, and immediately concentrated 100% attention.
He wasn't good enough to deal with Westbrook right now, and all he could do was what Billups told him to limit as much as he could, and then attack.
After Westbrook came up, he advanced to the front court with the ball, glanced in Durant's direction, and then motioned for Ibaka to go to the outside to block the pick-and-roll.
Tang Shuai shrank back at this time.
Westbrook saw Tang Shuai's move, and without waiting for Ibaka's block, he directly chose a dry pull-out jumper. Shot decisively without the slightest hesitation.
With a "swish", the mid-shot hit steadily.
Tang Shuai smiled wryly when he saw this. Westbrook is hard to defend against, and not only does it have an exclusive Turtle Breakout Pack. This season's mid-range shooting has become more and more stable, and now the mid-range shooting packages are all purple top-notch, coupled with his casual personality, it is indeed not easy to figure out his offense.
However, Tang Shuai was not discouraged, McCollum was enough for him to eat on the defensive end in the last game against the Trail Blazers, and his current defensive ability is not too normal to prevent Westbrook.
He put more energy on the offensive end.
He carries the ball and advances to the frontcourt.
Westbrook's oppressive defense followed, and the physical-confrontational defense made people feel suffocated.
Tang Shuai then beckoned to Smith.
As soon as Smith's block came up, he managed to get rid of Westbrook and went straight to the inside.
On the inside are two defensive giants Adams and Ibaka, and Tang Shuai is certainly not stupid enough to be tough. After a quick breakaway to attract the bag, he made a fake throw and flicked the ball to the right side of the basket.
Josh Smith had a good understanding with him, appearing directly at the end of the pass, and immediately after receiving the ball, he was a layup.
Adams came to his senses, but the pace was clearly unable to keep up, and he could only watch Smith score.
After scoring, Smith was very excited to swing his huge ass, which caused a burst of laughter from the fans.
Westbrook walked to the bottom line with a grim face, and it was clear from his face that he was unhappy with Smith's celebration.
Adams on the sidelines had a fierce face. It is estimated that if he was on the court, he would definitely do it directly with Smith.
The game continued, the Thunder offense, and Westbrook chose to go it alone again. chose to eat Tang Shuai, and the two people's bodies collided with each other and made a muffled sound.
Seeing that he didn't move Tang Shuai this time, a look of surprise flashed on Westbrook's face. But the action didn't stop, and he still pushed it in.
Tang Shuai looked very happy, with the power of the purple bus wrapped around him. Compared to defending Westbrook's breakthrough or mid-range shot, this kind of hard-eating is obviously more to his liking.
The two of them refused to let anyone. In the exclamations of the fans and commentators at the scene, the two staged a tough guy collision.
Westbrook couldn't top the basket, turned around and didn't pass Durant, it was just a step-back jumper.
Tang Shuai's blindfolded defense followed and went up.
Westbrook's shot was interfered with, and the final shot jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Jordan Jr., who had been guarding the basket for a long time.
Tang Shuai looked back and saw the iron, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, if Westbrook hit like this, he really couldn't ask for it.
"Hey, rookie, hit me! Hit me! Westbrook was obviously on top, and when the Clippers attacked, he shouted at Tang Shuai vigorously, and the saliva almost sprayed directly in his face.
Tang Shuai selectively ignored this provocation, beckoned Da Bai to make a block, and after dismantling the ball, a hidden pass was directly given to Da Bai who went down, and Da Bai's layup was directly pulled down by Adams.
The ball didn't go in, but it resulted in Ibaka's second personal foul.
Dabai went to the free throw line, Westbrook stared at Tang Shuai with wide eyes, but Tang Shuai looked at him with a smile and didn't respond anything.
Da Bai took two deep breaths and scored two free throws and one hit, which was a bargain in this round.
Westbrook is a very emotional player, what he believes must be done, and if he can't beat Tang Shuai, he must play.
And Tang Shuai played very smart, even if Westbrook repeatedly provoked, he didn't respond, just chose his own offensive method, and played more with his teammates, which made Westbrook extremely crazy.
As a result, Westbrook almost forgot about Durant, who was still hot in front of him, and he just did it with the ball, but the more he played, the more he didn't score, and the more he didn't score, the more he played.
Westbrook is really a tendon, even if Durant said to him at halftime, he promised everything, but once he got on the court, he forgot it all. The Clippers pulled back the disadvantage little by little, and by the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 96-96.
Tang Shuai scored 19 points and 5 assists in the third quarter of the game, and his performance was quite good.
The Clippers lacked Griffin, and both the strength of the books and the actual combat power were far inferior to the Thunder team, but the starters played extremely tenacious, which also drove the emotions of the benches.
The result of such a desperate effort is that although the strength is not as good as the Thunder's bench, they played with momentum, and when the two sides entered the final rotation, they were stunned to bite the score.
110:110, the two sides entered the final five minutes of the battle.
At this point, the two sides entered a completely white-hot competition and sent their main forces to the field.
Paul pushes forward with the ball and beckons his teammates to run.
After more than three quarters of fierce confrontation, the physical strength of players on both sides was huge, and the defensive intensity of the Thunder team could not be compared with the opening game.
Paul shook his hand, and the basketball followed into Tang Shuai's hands, and Tang Shuai took the ball and was ready to dunk.
At this moment, Adams on the right side of the basket suddenly pounced and pressed directly towards Tang Shuai. (To be continued.) )
