Chapter 346: Catch up
Durant sat down and looked a little anxious, looking at the court with a worried expression.
His fears proved not unfounded.
The Thunder's offense was once again in vain, this time Waiters wanted to pass the ball, but Josh Smith, who had already anticipated it, made a steal, and then rushed straight forward.
Tang Shuai was on the outside at this time, and did not rush forward, but kept a distance, attracting other players of the Thunder team to defend and moving outside the three-point line on the right side.
Smith rampaged to the basket, but his fast-break momentum was quickly halted by Payne and Singler's wrap-and-roll defenses.
Seeing that the ball was about to die, at this moment, he noticed Tang Shuai who was following up on the right side, and threw the ball over with a flick of his hand.
When Tang Shuai followed up, he was observing Smith's running, and when he saw him passing, he followed the ball directly, and when he was in place, Smith's pass also arrived.
At this time, Collison of the Thunder team rushed over, and after Tang Shuai glanced at it, he directly shook Collison away with a false slick, and then raised his hand for three points without hesitation.
This was Tang Shuai's first three-pointer of the game, and his first three-pointer since returning from suspension.
Although I haven't shot like this on this field for nearly a week, the posture and angle of the shot are still so familiar.
The fans burst into cheers.
The basketball swirled in the air in a perfect arc and fell straight towards the basket.
"Huh!"
There was a crunch.
Empty three-pointers! It's still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste!
"Tang Shuai~~~!!"
The DJ shouted out Tang Shuai's fame, and the cheers on the scene exploded instantly.
There was a monstrous momentum in the entire arena, and the deafening posture seemed to tear down the entire roof.
12 to 2! After a wave of climaxes for the Clippers. The score has been chased to 30 to 40!
Tang Shuai contributed 7 points, 2 assists and 1 steal in this wave of climax, which is no exaggeration. Every offense after the second quarter came up was related to him!
Donovan finally couldn't take it anymore and reached out to call a timeout.
"Don. Well done! As soon as Tang Shuai got off the field, Paul gave him a powerful high-five.
"Good, just keep it up." Billups also came over and punched him.
Kassel gave a thumbs up to Billups, who was clearly more accommodating than Reeves as the team's head coach.
And facts have also proved that it is only the tolerant head coach who can make breakthroughs.
After the timeout, the Thunder replaced Durant and Ibaka, and it seemed that they were ready to press the Clippers.
Cassel saw the Thunder make personnel changes. Then they were replaced by Brewer and Jordan Jr.
After the timeout, the Thunder's offense, Durant showed the role of the team's boss, took the ball in the high post after coming up, and after a false shot, it was directly a backward jump shot and a steady hit.
This is the superstar, not only the ability to use it for their own basketball bag, but also the ability to keep it to their heart, which is enough to ensure that they can play their abilities.
But Tang Shuai is already hot at this time. There was no emotional change because of Durant's goal, Durant is a supergiant after all, and it is not normal for you to let him not score points.
Continuing to push up front, he leveraged Josh Smith's pick-and-roll. After demolition, he saw the opportunity and gave Smith a blow to the ground, and Smith dismantled it outside. Raising your hand after receiving the ball is a mid-range.
Steady hits.
Smith likes to shoot, but is open. The blue mid-pitch bag still has some stability.
The difference between the two sides is still 10 points.
Durant was a little upset, and he went to the frontcourt to ask for the ball. Directly started the solo mode.
Brewer is also unlucky, an ordinary star has a great defensive role, but in the face of Durant, who is inferior in height, arm length and weight, he can't play much role at all.
Durant singled out Brewer and hit a jumper from the back.
However, Tang Shuai also did not show weakness, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and after noticing that the Thunder's defense was a little slower, he directly walked past Payne, and then directly a Maddie dry pull-out jumper, and also scored 2 points steadily.
Durant came over to the outside of the three-point line, borrowed a step to block and raise his hand to throw a three-point shot, and the three-point shot was still there!
Tang Shuai continued to advance to the frontcourt, and then grasped the shortcomings of the Thunder's slow defense, and accelerated the breakthrough to attract the defense and then directly threw his hand into the hands of Ismail Smith on the outside.
Smith glanced at no one in front of him, adjusted his posture and then made a slow move.
Three-pointer, score!
The fans at the scene cheered excitedly, and after Durant came up, the two sides suddenly entered the mode of scoring each other, and the audience was enthusiastic.
Durant didn't believe in evil and wanted to fight, but Cassel was the first to react, shouting at Ismael Smith and signaling him to go to the bag.
Under normal circumstances, players who come up with the bag basically pass the ball, but Durant is obviously a little addicted at this time, and when he sees the bag coming up, he still chooses to go alone, and a big loop pulls out the offensive space, and he is directly ready to break through.
However, the center of gravity is also high after others are high, and the ball died within two strokes of this breakthrough, and he had to throw the ball out when his center of gravity was unstable.
The hasty pass was ready for Waiters on the outside, but before the ball arrived, there was a "snap" and it was cut off by Josh Smith, who was already waiting for an opportunity at the free throw line.
Waiters also rushed at this time, and was about to foul Smith.
However, Smith is also smart, and he gave it to Tang Shuai on the other side.
As soon as Waiters saw the ball pass, he immediately stopped, otherwise it would have been a technical foul.
After Tang Shuai received the ball, he threw the ball forward, the ball went first, and the whole person ran forward with all his strength.
At the same time, Smith, who passed the ball, also reacted quickly and rushed out, while Waiters, who stopped the car, waited until Smith rushed out before turning around.
The chaotic situation suddenly turned into a flat river.
Tang Shuai and Smith ran straight towards the empty Thunder backcourt.
The fans at the scene were agitated, and countless fans stood up from their seats.
Tang Shuai glanced back at Smith, suddenly slowed down, looked at the angle between the moves, and threw the ball over his head violently.
“Show.Time!” The narrator at the scene shouted.
Smith and Tang Shuai have long had a heart, and after Tang Shuai threw the ball into the air, he jumped suddenly, and then held the ball with one hand, as if there was 10,000 resentment in his heart to vent to the basket. (To be continued.) )
