Chapter 265: Steady Fighting
Durant stretched out his long arm and rubbed his eyebrows, his face full of sadness.
On the court, Tang Wenlong executed the second free throw, took the ball passed by the referee, slapped it twice on the ground, and then raised it, his heel slightly off the ground, and his fingers flicked lightly.
"Huh!" The arc is perfect, and the hollow hits!
Tang Wenlong moved backwards and walked backwards in small steps, and looked to the side as he walked, his and Durant's eyes instantly met in the air, Durant looked at a pair of confident and domineering eyes, neither of them spoke, but they both felt the temperament of the opponent belonging to the same kind.
Durant looked up and glanced at the technical statistics on the big screen again, 87-69, near the end of the third quarter, the huge point difference exuded a scarlet light, stimulating his nerves, Tang Wenlong scored another 28 points quietly, and it was only one step away from 30 points, which can be said to be almost a repeat of the mistakes of the previous two games.
"It can't be like this!" Durant roared in his heart and reached for the ball after halftime.
Tang Wenlong stopped Durant from receiving the ball, Westbrook couldn't find a chance to pass the ball, and directly dribbled to break through by himself, and after encountering the 76ers' help defense, he was assigned to Harden on the wing.
The 76ers' rotation defense was in a flash, and Lowry appeared in front of Harden.
Lowry, who is only 1.83 meters, is at least ten centimeters shorter than Harden, but he does not lack momentum in his playing style, staring at Harden with a pair of fighting eyes, his arms outstretched, like a calf.
Harden tentatively took a step, then crossed over to break through, snapped to the ground, and made a jump shot.
Lowry jumped up to interfere, and his judgment was very accurate.
missed, the basketball was a little bit of Gasol's long arm and pointed to Tang Wenlong, who came over to protect the backcourt rebound.
In 17.3 seconds, the 76ers had the last attack of the third quarter!
Durant let out a sigh of resignation. It's not that he doesn't want to work hard, after all, basketball is still a five-person sport, and he can't hold the ball alone for the whole game, but when he sees his teammates playing iron, his heart really hurts, maybe he can throw it if he comes?
Tang Wenlong skillfully dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously. After advancing to just over the halfway line, he began to choose to attack with a countdown.
In 10 seconds, Tang Wenlong's eyes flashed, and he began to dribble forward.
At this time, the 76ers team pulled away, and the heads-up space at the top of the arc was given to Tang Wenlong, and Saflosa chose to defend on the side, giving Tang Wenlong a breakthrough space on the left, because of the data, Tang Wenlong's goal rate after breaking through on the right side was at least 7 percentage points higher than that on the left. Although he has a balanced left and right hand, he is still a right-handed player, and he will be more comfortable walking the basket on the right side.
At the top of the arc, Tang Wenlong controlled the ball with his left hand, and he also knew that the Thunder's defensive strategy against him would inevitably have a bag on the left side.
He simply gave up the breakthrough, faced the three-point line one step away, and jumped directly to shoot!
Safrosa was helpless. React as soon as possible, and plop your face! What he is most afraid of is Tang Wenlong's unreasonable shooting. As a defender, one can only pray that the ball doesn't go in.
As soon as I landed and turned my head, I just saw the white net flowers rolled up by the basketball through my heart, which was so dazzling
90 to 69, the difference is another 20 points, which is a huge chasm. The energy center's morale was furious, and Tang Wenlong scored 31 points in less than three quarters.
Brooks didn't want to call a timeout, and Durant missed his last jumper in the third quarter, and the red light came on before everyone could grab the rebound.
The 76ers' players walked off the court jubilantly, and Collins fought back the excitement in his heart. He tried to put on a still serious expression, but the joy between his eyebrows had already betrayed his mood.
21 points is not so simple to chase back, in less than 12 minutes of the fourth quarter, how difficult is it to win the 76ers led by Tang Wenlong 21 points? Thunder fans sat weakly in their seats, their faces full of despair, the 76ers' bright big knife was already hanging above their heads, and they could take the Thunder's life in minutes.
Many fans who can't bear to see the team's final defeat have begun to choose to leave, and if this game is lost again, the whole series will be powerless.
Durant sat on the bench, his fists clenched, his knuckles pinched white, and his heart was extremely complicated. Angry, disappointed, and confused, Tang Wenlong, who suddenly rose, was like a high mountain in front of him, which made people look up and couldn't leap over.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Tang Wenlong was still on the court, and the three Thunder were all present.
Collins knows in his heart that such a big point difference, although it is the finals, but the Thunder will fight for half a quarter at most, if the score difference is not close after the half quarter of the game, no matter who comes, it will be powerless. On the Thunder's side, Coach Brooks is not ready to let Durant, Westbrook and Harden rest at all, especially Westbrook and Durant, the two of them have only rested for 2 minutes in total, with an average of one minute of rest per person.
The chaotic Thunder team made frequent mistakes, and when Westbrook broke through, he directly knocked down Tang Wenlong, who was already standing, and was whistled for an offensive foul. Then on the defensive end, the baseline leaked Iguodala, and Tang Wenlong passed the ball horizontally to Iguodala, who went directly to the basket and easily slammed the dunk with one arm.
At the critical moment when he was about to collapse, Durant pulled the Thunder back from the ghost gate with a three-pointer, but there was still a huge 20-point difference.
Tang Wenlong asked for Hoyce's blocking, and the giant panda did not go down after blocking, but instead went out of the line, Tang Wenlong took two deep steps and passed the ball out with his backhand and gave it to the vacant Hawes.
Hawes misses a three-point jumper.
Speights occupies a good position in the paint area, without greedy guns, and directly slaps the mountains and seas, and slaps to the position of the near middle circle.
Luis grabbed the rebound in a thrilling way and was almost blown back.
Luck is also on the 76ers' side, Brooks has really played all the cards off the court, he really has nothing to do with the 76ers, everything can only rely on the players themselves, rely on providence.
Louis Williams dribbles to the inside and then plays it out for Hawes. Tang Wenlong wiped Hawes as a hand-to-hand pass cover, which was seen by the veteran Collison and stepped forward to block Tang Wenlong in advance. This block immediately formed a pinch attack with Saflosa behind Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong's left hand that controlled the ball was like a trick, and the basketball disappeared in an instant.
The orange basketball turned into an orange light, bounced off the floor and went down to Hawes.
Hawes dribbled two steps, Durant ran out to rotate to defend him, and Hawes suddenly felt happy, and a drop ball that didn't look at people was thrown near the basket.
Speights rises like a helicopter, just in time to catch the ball with both hands, and a slam dunk in the air!
The 76ers bench is boiling, this is the cooperation between the two floor streams!
And the host of CCTV, Director Zhang, immediately made the most classic comment at this time, "76ers are all open now, everyone dares to play, and everyone has played with self-confidence!" (To be continued.) )
