Chapter 569: A Song of Ice and Fire
He raised his hand.
A smile appeared in Westbrook's eyes when he saw him raise his hand, but when he saw that his gesture was to beckon his teammates to run, his face changed suddenly.
Gasol made a block for Batum, Batum cut the basket in the air, Tang Shuai hit the ball and passed, Batum received the ball and directly pressed Oladipo to score a layup.
Westbrook looked back and saw that Batum had scored, and his teeth were itching.
The Thunder's offense, Westbrook arrived in the frontcourt, and after he arrived in the frontcourt with an angry face, he directly stretched out his hand and signaled his teammates to pull away.
Looking at his appearance, before Tang Shuai became angry, he was already angry.
However, he does have the strength to be angry, and after pulling away, in the face of Batum's defense, after his continuous change of direction, he suddenly went to the inside and forcibly knocked Batum to score a layup.
After the score, he yelled at the audience again, as if he had an emotion in his body that could never be vented.
Looking back, waiting for Tang Shuai to advance to the front court with the ball again, Westbrook tried to provoke Tang Shuai again, but Tang Shuai still ignored it, beckoned his teammates to run tactics, and this time directly threw his hand to Barnes, who scored 2 points on a pull-up jumper.
The more Tang Shuai didn't fight him, the more angry Westbrook became, and when he got to the front court, he didn't call his teammates to pull away, and directly rushed towards the basket like a car with a full motor, and scored a layup after hitting Batum and Gasol in a row.
After landing, he slapped his chest vigorously, completely like a crazy bull.
When the Lakers attacked, he continued to provoke Tang Shuai, Tang Shuai was still unmoved, this time Tang Shuai passed the ball to Gasol first, and then ran out of space by blocking and dismantling, and received Gasol's pass and hit a dry pull-out jumper.
This time, Westbrook was blocked by Batum, and watched Tang Shuai hit a jumper, and he was so angry that he almost fought with Batum directly.
Tang Shuai's face remained unchanged, and he didn't react much after the goal, but just focused on defense backwards.
"This is a battle of ice and fire, this is a song of ice and fire!" McDonald couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the performance on the field.
Westbrook is like a lit powder keg, no matter what, the gun is dry, no matter what you do, it's like a fire is burning.
Tang Shuai was too calm, even if he was provoked, he was completely unmoved, just looking for the most suitable pass or opportunity to shoot, as cold as ice.
Two people, two scoring methods, have a high offensive success rate, McDonald's description at the moment is quite in place, and this is a pun on the most popular American drama in the United States, A Song of Ice and Fire, which can be called a classic quotation, I believe that in his commentary career, this is destined to become a strong stroke.
The game between the two sides continued, Tang Shuai and Westbrook were alternating play, and the confrontation between the two teams turned into a confrontation between two top defenders.
Unlike the first quarter, both teams scored super high points in this quarter.
After Westbrook hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the final minute, the score was 76-78, and the Thunder trailed by two points.
In the second quarter, both teams scored 40+ high scores, directly breaking the record of the total points scored by both teams in a single quarter.
It is conceivable that this quarter of the game is destined to be a meaningful 12 minutes because of the wonderful performances of Tang Shuai and Westbrook.
At halftime, Westbrook, who had fought all the time, kept panting, he played longer than Tang Shuai, and his playing style was much more laborious, even if he was perverted, he also had some physical reactions.
However, what was a little different from the game was that he turned his head to look at Tang Shuai before getting off the court, and his expression became a little strange, not like anger, but with a hint of appreciation.
In the Lakers' locker room, the smiles on the players' faces are back, and the scenes of slapstick and frolic are finally back after more than a week.
When we came back from half-time, both sides were playing with all their might.
Donovan saw that Kante couldn't defend Gasol, so he directly asked Adams to be out of position to defend.
However, the effect is better but it cannot be completely restricted, Gasol's footsteps Adams can't be prevented, and he can only push him out as much as possible and prevent him from receiving the ball.
The defensive confrontation in this quarter of the game was very strong, and the coaches of both sides continued to rotate personnel, and the two sides were inseparable.
By the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 97-99, and the Thunder still trailed the Lakers by 2 points.
After watching the third quarter, fans can clearly feel that the two sides are now in a state of parity, and it will not be easy for anyone to win the game.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the substitutes on both sides were playing.
That's when the X-factor came in.
Landry, who was once the core of the Rockets' fourth quarter, was silent for more than a dozen games after coming to the Lakers, and finally seized the opportunity to explode.
He first received Clarkson's pass and turned around to score with a hook hand, which was smashed into the basket and grazed in, with a lot of luck, but it was this balloon that seemed to arouse the memory in his mind at once.
When Nance Jr. covered Ilyasova's layup, and when he got to the frontcourt, he hit Collison's tough board with his back and scored.
That's not all, when the Thunder's offense was stealed by Brewer, he directly staged a flying dunk in the fast break.
After scoring six points in a row, Landry's strong performance directly stopped the Thunder.
"Carl, well done!" When Landry got off the field, Tang Shuai directly stretched out his hand to applaud him.
No one expected Landry's outburst, but it is undeniable that this sudden outburst broke the originally evenly matched scene between the two sides, and the Lakers seized the initiative.
Wharton also saw this opportunity and directly replaced all the main players on the court.
This decision is decisive and bold enough.
The Thunder changed the slow side by half a beat, and after more than a minute, the Lakers had taken advantage of the situation to stretch the difference to double digits.
Donovan changed to the main force again, and the score was anxious, but it was already difficult to catch up with the score.
“Let’s.go! Lakers! ”
The home team played with momentum, and the audience cheered for the home team in unison, and it was obvious that the atmosphere of the scene rose to another level with the opening of the score.
The Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai dribbled to the front court and looked up at the timer.
With five and a half minutes left in the game, the Lakers still have a 10-point lead.
He didn't rush to attack, but dribbled on the spot to press the rhythm.
At this time, one more second is consumed, and the team's hopes of winning are greater.
Tang Shuai pressed the time, Oladipo naturally didn't do it, and kept reaching out to try to interfere.
However, this effect is not very good, Tang Shuai has a street ball king dribble bag, and he has full control of the ball.
Time was passing in a second, and in a blink of an eye it was already 15 seconds, Tang Shuai turned around, dribbled the ball forward, and attracted Oladipo to make a move, he suddenly changed direction to the right, and then broke through quickly.
He was so fast that Oladipo didn't have time to retract it.
Tang Shuai passed him in one fell swoop.
The fans burst into cheers.
After Tang Shuai passed Oladipo, he rushed into the interior line quickly, jumped up, and jumped to dunk.
At this moment, Adams in the diagonal side rushed over with a fierce face.
Originally, he was already very anxious to fall behind by so many points, and he was beaten by Tang Shuai again, and seeing that this posture would be a one-handed violent dunk, he directly red-eyed.
"Bang!"
Before Tang Shuai could buckle it, he felt a strong force coming from the oblique side, and then the center of gravity of the whole person was lost, and his body fell uncontrollably to the side.
Between the lightning and flint, he only had time to cover his head with his hands.
"Bang!"
Tang Shuai fell heavily on the floor.
There was an uproar among the fans, followed by a flurry of boos.
Tang Shuai rolled around on the ground, holding his left arm with his right hand, his expression extremely hideous.
This time he was directly knocked over, he protected his head and couldn't protect his hands, and it hit the ground really hard.
Knoll was not far from the basket, and when he saw Tang Shuai being knocked over, he went directly to push Adams away, raised his hand and scuffled.
Batum also rushed forward.
Seeing that it was about to stage an all-out martial arts, fortunately, there were calm people on both sides, and Gasol and Westbrook directly forcibly separated the two people.
After the separation, Adams's clothes were torn, and Noll was ruthless enough, but his situation was not very good, Adams was fierce, and at this moment he was holding his chest and rubbing it back and forth, it should have been a punch.
After separating the two, the Lakers players immediately turned around to check on Tang Shuai's situation.
Tang Shuai's expression was no longer so hideous at this time, and the team doctor was communicating with him.
The game also entered a technical timeout, and Tang Shuai was helped by Gasol to walk off the court.
Wharton and Shaw's faces are obviously nervous, Tang Shuai is now the absolute main force of the Lakers, and he is also the player Kupchak values the most, if he is injured, how can the team play?
Fortunately, Xiao's reaction was still fast, and he comforted him: "Tang can still go, the problem may not be so serious." ”
Wharton nodded, and then greeted Shaw.
Tang Shuai was helped to the bench and sat down, and the team doctor continued to communicate with him.
The referee walked to the technical table at this time to watch the replay, and all the players of the Lakers were around Tang Shuai.
After the team doctor communicated, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Are you doing impact resistance training?" ”
Tang Shuai nodded, in Prokopio's training content, in addition to some items to increase physical fitness, there are also some resistance training, which is to prevent injuries.
"With this level of impact, at such a height, it stands to reason that even if the bones are not injured, this muscle will definitely be injured, but your situation is not a big problem, and you may be fine after a few hours of rest." The team doctor said with a smile.
Hearing what the team doctor said, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
"How many hours?" Tang Shuai was stunned when he heard it, "You mean I can't play again in the next game?" (To be continued.) )
