Chapter 349: Fierce Battle to the End (3/4)

In the fourth quarter of the game, the game was still intense, and at this time, the NBA general managers on the sidelines were completely immersed in thinking about how to get Li Yang in the summer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the first half of the game, they always felt that Li Yang's performance was tepid, and after the third quarter of the game, they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, Li Yang was the player they needed.

13 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, Li Yang got such data in a single quarter, and such a performance is simply impeccable in their opinion, Li Yang can do anything on the court, scoring, assists, rebounds, defense!

This is not only the embodiment of data, but also Li Yang's containment of the Thunder defense on the court, and his killing of Thunder players, these are not reflected in the data, but they are all insiders, and they can watch Li Yang's ability through their performance on the court.

And even back to the data, in the third quarter of the game, Li Yang has scored 21 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds with a quasi-triple-double, which is good enough.

So at this time, when Li Yang sat on the sidelines and rested, these NBA general managers were completely uninterested in the fierce game on the court, and they were all thinking about how to beat these competitors sitting next to them to get Li Yang this summer.

The presence of so many people in San Toonio today is enough for them to know how difficult it is to get Li Yang in the summer, these people are all human spirits.

Of course, they are the only ones who will have such thoughts, and at this moment, whether it is the fans on the scene or in front of the screen, their minds are completely in this fierce game of life and death.

In the third quarter of the game, the Spurs once widened the gap to 12 points under the leadership of Li Yang's outburst, although the score was narrowed by the Thunder at the end of the third quarter, but there were still 8 points ahead of the start of the fourth quarter. So after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs still used the bench lineup, and Li Yang and Duncan also sat on the court.

However, the Thunder, who trailed by 8 points at 71-79, obviously couldn't do it so easily, and in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, they trailed the Spurs by 8 points on the road, and both players and coaches knew how dangerous it was, so after the start of the fourth quarter, the Thunder almost kept all of their main lineup on the court, and only Westbrook was replaced by Furscher.

Brooks has been standing on the sidelines since the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, and has been standing until now, and the fourth quarter has played nearly 4 minutes.

What makes Brooks feel a little more at ease is that in this paragraph, with the joint play of Durant and Jackson, the Thunder's side finally narrowed the gap to only 4 points, but Durant has been playing for a long time in this game, and Brooks can only expect Durant to lead the team to narrow the gap again in these two rounds, and then replace Westbrook to let Durant rest and prepare for the last few minutes.

Brooks' wish came true in the next round, when Durant made a strong layup, and although he missed the layup, he caused a foul and made two free throws to further narrow the gap to just two points.

It's just that Brooks wanted Durant to continue to lead the Thunder to narrow the score but couldn't do it, and the Spurs replaced Li Yang and other main players at this time.

Although the score slowly narrowed, Popovich did not return to the court until four and a half minutes into the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, after the Spurs tried to use mid-to-long-range shooting to open the score directly and failed, Popovich was ready to play this game until the end to decide the winner, so in order to ensure that the players had enough physical strength at the last moment, he continued to control the playing time of the main players.

On the Spurs' side, Li Yang and others played, Green and others came off the court to rest, and on the other side, the Thunder replaced Westbrook and replaced Durant.

Although Thunder head coach Brooks very much wanted to keep Durant on the court to see if he could complete the comeback in one fell swoop, reason told him that he couldn't do so, because he knew that Durant's physical exertion was already large enough, and if Durant was kept on the court again, once the game was going to play to the last moment, the Thunder would lose their most consistent scoring point.

"Russell!"

Brooks can only hope for Westbrook, who is in control of the ball at this time, and he hopes that his team's leading point guard can lead the team to play well enough on the court, even if he can't complete the comeback, no matter how bad it is, he can't let the Spurs pull the score away.

Just now, Li Yang and Duncan completed a cooperation, Li Yang assisted Duncan to score 2 points under the basket, and the difference has been re-widened to 4 points, and Li Yang's assists have quietly risen to 9.

Westbrook controlled the ball until the half, and he faced Leonard's defense at this time, but he refused Ibaka's block, which made Brooks frown on the court, Westbrook can't help but make a mistake at this time.

"Don't!" Just as Brooks was thinking like this, he found that Westbrook was shooting directly outside the three-point line at this time, which made his face change suddenly.

Westbrook's shot was so sudden that Leonard in front of him didn't react, after all, Leonard had been defending Westbrook's breakthrough, so at this time, he could only raise his hand and rush forward, and he couldn't stop Westbrook's shot.

It's just that, in the opinion of Thunder head coach Brooks, this is really not a very good choice, especially since such a shot is Westbrook, which is not too consistent in shooting.

However, to Brooks' ecstasy, Westbrook's completely unreasonable three-point shot actually smashed straight into the basket with a small arc and bounced into the net.

"Oh, Wei Shao hit an unreasonable three-pointer!"

At this moment, Yu Jia, who was commenting in China, couldn't help but be surprised, and then just two minutes later, he shouted again in surprise.

Westbrook, hit three consecutive balls to help the Thunder overtake by 1 point, which is too surprising, Durant went off the court and the Thunder even surpassed the score!"

Popovich called a timeout, he had been counting Durant, but he didn't expect Westbrook to play the x-factor at this time, and the game exploded in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter of the game, both the Thunder and the Spurs' defense almost returned to the level of the first half of the game, so the Spurs' scoring was not as easy as the third quarter, but Westbrook relied on his personal ability to face the Spurs' high-intensity defense and continuous hits, which was completely unexpected on the Spurs' side.

"Kehuai, guard that guy, don't let him shoot on the outside, try to force him to hit the basket, Young, Tim, pay attention to the inside defense. ā€

Popovich immediately adjusted his tactics, originally the Spurs' defense of Westbrook was to shoot but not to burst, because Westbrook's shooting was not as stable as Durant's, but Popovich also knew that as a star of Westbrook's level, once he found his shooting touch, the horror was no worse than those stars who relied on shooting to eat.

Popovich's adjustment really worked, Westbrook did not continue the previous magical performance, but after being caught up by the Thunder, although the Spurs then overtook again, but the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, and it was extremely difficult for the Spurs to widen the point difference. The Thunder have been more resolute in containing Li Yang and have done a better job of rotating defense.

The two sides played extremely closely, every time it was very difficult to score, and the time of the game was quietly passing, and in the blink of an eye, it had entered the final two minutes......

"Duncan hit both free throws, the two sides are tied, there is 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the game, following the previous game where the two sides played until the last second to decide the winner, this game, the two teams will not be able to separate the winner until the last minute!"

100:100 draw, when the clock came to the final 1 minute 33 seconds, the two teams were tied! )
