After the timeout, the Thunder attacked, relying on Durant's toughness, which caused Parsons' Harden to foul, and Durant hit both free throws, bringing the difference to 15 points.

Looking back, when the Rockets attacked, Wen Hao did not meet the ball, but moved to the front court by Beverley. In this way, the Thunder will temporarily relax their defense against Wen Hao. But after Beverley dribbled to the front court, he immediately passed the ball to Wen Hao, and after Wen Hao received the ball, he took a step forward, seeing that Wei Shao had pressed up, Wen Hao shot two steps outside the three-point line.

The basketball flew through the air like a cannonball, hitting the back edge of the basket with a "bang" and falling into the net.

"Crazy, crazy, he's crazy......" the old wolf cried out in disbelief, but this time not pretending to be surprised, but really surprised. Isn't it crazy to have four three-pointers in a row, and the last three-pointer was fired two steps away from the three-point line?

The Rockets players kept waving towels on the sidelines, and Parsons kept jumping and yelling at Wen Hao, "Hey, man, that's a great job." ”

Howard walked over and patted Wen Hao on the shoulder: "How did you shoot these three points?" Can you teach me? ”

Da Yao smiled at Wen Hao and said: "You are becoming more and more confident, very good, continue to maintain such self-confidence, even if you can't shoot, you must be so confident, only with self-confidence can you win." ”

On the Thunder's side, Durant finally faced Wen Hao squarely for the first time, this Rocket player from China is indeed not simple.

Westbrook gritted his teeth: "Bastard, I'm not going to let you score even one more ball!" ”

In Wei Shao's gnashing of teeth, the Thunder team continued to attack, Wei Shao faced Wen Hao's defense, shook left and right, and suddenly made a three-point shot. With his surname, Wen Hao hit three points on his head, and he naturally wanted to return it.

But unfortunately, his shot didn't hit, and the rebound was picked up by Da Yao and thrown at Wen Hao.

After Wen Hao got the ball, he went all out, and he came to the three-point line within two seconds. At this time, the closest to Wen Hao was Durant, and he was busy coming over to make up for Wen Hao, for fear that Wen Hao would hit another three points. But Wen Hao didn't shoot at all, and suddenly slowed down, and when he saw that Parsons was already outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, he immediately made a behind-the-back pass to Parsons. Parsons received the ball, and the feeling that he was bound to hit rose again. But he was used to it, as long as it was Wen Hao's pass, he felt this way every time, he didn't feel strange at all, and shot proudly.

With a "bang", the basketball went into the net.

The atmosphere at the Thunder's home court was already a little sluggish at this time. Although they are still nearly 10 points ahead of the Rockets, the Rockets' chasing momentum in the past two minutes is too fierce, especially their three points, which is like rain, how can this not make the Thunder fans sluggish.

The Thunder continued to attack, and after Durant dribbled to the frontcourt, he was slightly anxious. We can't let the Rockets chase points like this anymore, and we must suppress their momentum. Thinking of this, Durant suddenly stopped outside the three-point line and shot three points suddenly. If this three-point score is scored, it will definitely be a big blow to the Rockets' momentum of chasing points.

But perhaps he was too anxious, and his three-point shot still missed, and the rebounds were once again controlled by the Rockets' interior twin towers. The Rockets launched a fast-break counterattack. Harden pushed forward quickly, and the Thunder two less frantically returned to defense.

Although Harden has a great grasp of playing a fast-break counterattack, he seems to be a little powerless in front of his former boss and second child. Although he swayed left and right, and added European steps, when he shook off Durant's shot, he was still slapped down by Westbrook with a big hat.

At this time, Wen Hao just arrived, picked up the ball at the free throw line, and flicked it back, and came to Da Yao, who followed behind.

"Hehe...... the old wolf sneered, "Isn't he stupid to give the center outside the three-point line?" In my opinion, this ball should definitely go to Parsons on the left baseline or Howard who is following up on the back so that they have the best chance of making it. ”

But Wen Hao doesn't think so. In less than half a second, his mind was running at high speed, and he quickly judged the situation. There are two Thunder on the inside, and it is impossible to pass to Harden, although Parsons on the left baseline has space, Durant is likely to make up for the defense. And although the Warcraft followed up, it was likely to be blocked in front of the Thunder Ershao. At this time, there was no one to defend in front of Da Yao, and everyone would not have thought that Da Yao might make a three-point shot, so he passed it to Da Yao.

Da Yao took the ball and didn't want to make a shot, but the moment he received the ball, a feeling in his heart that he was bound to hit rose, although this was outside the three-point line.

So Da Yao was not in a hurry, and fully completed the three-point preparations, and then threw the ball with a flick of his wrist. The basketball spun backwards, and with a "swish", it turned out to be hollow into the net.

"Good shot! Da Yao's three points! In the Owl Cafeteria, a Rocket fan shouted.

"It's great, at the critical moment of chasing points, Da Yao actually hit a three-pointer, which is really unexpected." Another fan shouted as well.

"It's so exciting, it's so exciting, I have to have a toast." The third fan picked up his beer and drank it down.

Thunder head coach Brooks was shocked when he saw this: Even the center of the Rockets began to shoot three-pointers, is this worth it?

He called a timeout, it was their last short timeout, and there was only one of their long timeouts left.

In fact, Coach Brooks called this timeout to have nothing to arrange, nothing more than to let the players expand their defense and prevent the Rockets from three points. As a last resort, even if you let go of two points, you can't give them another chance to get three points. Three-point chasing is terrible, and no one can afford it.

By this time, the game had come to the final three minutes, and the Rockets were only five points behind the Thunder. For the N**A team, a three-minute lead of five points is too unsafe. So the Thunder must seize every opportunity to score while preventing the Rockets from shooting another three-pointer.

After the Thunder returned to the court, Durant made another difficult jumper in the face of Parsons, the ball missed, and Ibaka picked up a rebound and played into a secondary offense.

Coming back, Team Rocket attacked. Wen Hao knew that at this time, the Thunder team would definitely expand their defense and prevent their three points. Therefore, he did not choose to shoot outside this time, nor did he pass the ball to his teammates, but faced Wei Shao, and changed direction under his crotch four times in a row. Obviously, it is to be less sudden.

Wei Shao learned to be obedient this time, and did not try to steal, but just stood there, waiting for Wen Hao to break through. With his speed and physical condition, it is not easy for Wen Hao to break through.

Sure enough, Wen Hao swayed from side to side, and added feints and everything, but he still couldn't break through. Although he has the bonus of no breakthrough, in the face of Wei Shao's best physical fitness, Wen Hao does not dare to take risks easily. In case of a mistake, it will be troublesome.

But at this time, Howard came out to make a block for Wen Hao, Wen Hao bypassed Howard, dribbled into the three-point line, and then hit another shot when no one was defended for the time being.

As soon as this goal was scored, Wen Hao had already scored 14 points and added 3 assists in the fourth quarter.

For the next two and a half minutes, the Rockets went back and forth with the Thunder like this, not giving in to each other. However, the Thunder hit a couple of two-pointers plus a three-pointer, while the Rockets hit two three-pointers plus a two-pointer, so that the difference between the two sides was only three points, and the clock was only one minute left.

At this point, it was the Thunder who were on offense, and their head coach Brooks didn't call a timeout. He knew that he might need to pause later, and he couldn't waste it at this point.

Wei Shao dribbled to the front court, and he passed Wen Hao in one step with lightning speed, and then entered the inside line. But with the twin towers guarding the inside, he couldn't make a shot, so he had to pass to Durant. As soon as Durant got the ball, he was trapped, and he had no choice but to pass to Ibaka. In this way, the Thunder turned the ball upside down, and finally returned to Wei Shao's hands.

At this time, there were only 3 seconds left, Wei Shao was a little anxious, and quickly dribbled towards Wen Hao.

But at this moment, as soon as he touched Wen Hao's body, Wen Hao flew backwards and slid more than two meters on the floor before stopping.

"Tick-" The referee's whistle blew just in time for a foul on Westbrook.

The scene of the "......uproar" was chaotic, the fans kept shouting at the referee, and Wei Shao spread his hands and shouted to the referee: "I didn't foul, he faked ...... fall"

But the referee was very confident in his decision, and judging from the slow-motion replay, Wei Shao may have been too anxious, and the moment he made contact with Wen Hao's body, he was a little heavy-shouldered.

Since the Thunder had already committed four fouls, Wen Hao executed the free throw. Standing at the free-throw line, he easily hit two free throws. And these two free throws directly allowed the Rockets to chase the difference to just one point.

With 38 seconds remaining, Thunder head coach Brooks used up his last timeout. In the words to the players, it was very simple: "In the end, this offense, don't shoot from the outside, that's too small." They must not have imagined that we would attack the interior line guarded by the Twin Towers, so we will start from this point, Wei Shao or Durant, and kill the interior line when they have the opportunity. Even if you can't score, you have to get fouls and fight for free throws. ”

"Understood, Coach." Durant and Wei Shao said in unison.

So in the next fourteen, Durant really broke into the interior with the advantage of his height and arm length, and although he couldn't hit, he successfully caused Howard's foul.

Amid the cheers of the court, Durant hit both free throws, and the Thunder still led by three points.

At this time, there are only 24 seconds left, which is just enough time for the Rockets to attack. Whether in Houston or across the ocean in China, all the Rockets fans who were watching the live broadcast were extremely nervous at this time. In the last attack, you have to score 3 points to tie and go into overtime, which is too difficult. (To be continued.) )
