Li Yang stood at the free throw line, Ibaka was replaced by Brooks at this time, and Perkins and Durant came on the court to replace Ibaka and Fisher. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the Spurs' side, there were also substitutions, with Leonard coming on for Ginobili and Parker coming on for Mills.

Li Yangjia hit a free throw, officially widening the difference between the two sides to 10 points.

The Thunder's two superstars were also really good, and after a simple block from outside the three-point line by Durant and Westbrook, Durant immediately hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line against Leonard's defense, narrowing the gap to seven points.

However, in the face of such a score from the Thunder, Popovich off the court was in no hurry. For the Thunder, after Ibaka is off, their interior defense is a huge problem, and the Spurs can play the Thunder extremely uncomfortable as long as they point to this attack.

On the contrary, it is not easy for Westbrook, whether it is Durant or Westbrook, to break through to the interior at this time, because Leonard, Li Yang, and Green, the three top outside defenders, are all on the court.

And relying only on shooting, neither Durant nor Westbrook can maintain a high shooting percentage under a defense like the Spurs.

So at this time, Popovich also sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

This doesn't need to be arranged by Popovich, the Spurs players know what to do, but this time, it was Li Yang who took the ball, Parker and Duncan blocked, taking advantage of Perkins' slow movement characteristics, Duncan cut into the basket to receive Parker's pass, and easily made a layup to score two points.

Coming to the other side, the Thunder's two young people also tried to hit the basket, but they couldn't rush down only halfway, whether it was Durant or Westbrook's breakthrough, they probably only rushed into the free throw line one step, and they would encounter Li Yang, Leonard, and Green Two of the three people were blocked by the pinch, even if they forced to rush in, there was also a Duncan inside.

So at this time, the Thunder could only choose to shoot from mid-to-long range again, and this time it was backup shooting guard Reggie Jackson.

The Thunder's shooting touch in this section is indeed not bad, and Jackson's shooting is also a hit.

It's just that the Thunder's offensive hit is really difficult, and the Spurs' offense is much easier, Parker broke through the ball to Li Yang, and Li Yang continued to break through, attracting Perkins' defense, and handed the ball to Duncan's hands, and Duncan easily scored two points with the ball.

So far in the first half, Duncan has scored 16 points, and he is 8 of 8 shots!

After the Thunder team's interior line was completely blown up! After the absence of Ibaka, whether it was in the face of Li Yang's impact or Duncan's strong attack on the inside, the Thunder team had no way to stop it, and Perkins' slow movement was completely magnified in this game, and in this case, the Spurs' scoring efficiency was naturally amazingly high.

In desperation, the Thunder could only replace the young interior Adams.

Adams' play made the Thunder breathe a little easier, the Thunder's young interior movement and confrontation ability are not bad, and he can play a good role in the interior defense.

However, this relief is only a round or two.

Li Yang rushed into the interior with Duncan's pick-and-roll, but Adams did a good job of moving, and coupled with his height and long arms, it seemed that Li Yang was enveloped.

Li Yang did not force into the three-second zone at this time, and made an emergency stop outside the three-second zone, Li Yang looked to the side, looking as if he was about to pass the ball, Adams immediately stopped and turned around, because he knew that Duncan was very likely to have cut in at this time.

However, when he turned halfway and found that Duncan was still standing in a high position, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

However, at this time, Li Yang had already started again and rushed forward into the three-second zone, and scored two points with a pick-and-roll.

Seeing this goal, Thunder coach Brooks on the sidelines was also extremely helpless, the inexperienced Adams is not an opponent of an old fritter like Duncan at all, and Li Yang is increasingly using the rhythm to find time differences on the offensive end this season, and Adams can't stop it at all.

If it weren't for the shooting feel of the Thunder players in this period, it would be impossible for the point difference to be within 10 points.

However, the current scene is very worrying for Brooks, because it is very unlikely that the Thunder's shooting touch will last the whole quarter, and once they can't maintain their offensive status with the Spurs, the situation will become extremely passive for the Thunder.

Brooks' fears finally came into play in the last three minutes of the second quarter, when the Thunder players' outside shooting percentage began to decline in the face of the Spurs' defense, while the Spurs' offense on the Thunder's interior did not stop.

7 points, 9 points, 11 points, the score difference is widening step by step.

When the point difference was not opened before, the Thunder players did not have such urgency, but when the point difference was gradually widened, in the face of the Spurs' continued offensive interior play, the Thunder players couldn't help but start to shrink the defense line on the court.

"The Thunder shrunk their defense in the last round, which made the Spurs' offense useless, but if they are going to continue to do so, they need to make sure they can rotate well on the perimeter in time, otherwise the Spurs' three-point shot will give them a heavy blow. ”

Van Gundy, who was very good at defense when he was coach, immediately saw the risk of the Thunder doing so, and before his words could be heard, something was wrong on the court.

The Spurs' offense continued to be initiated by Parker and Duncan's blocking, and after the breakthrough was handed over to Li Yang, Li Yang broke through again, and the Thunder chose to shrink the defense at this time, and Li Yang, who had been prepared, sent the ball directly to Danny Green in the bottom right corner in the process of breaking.

"Whew!" Green took the ball and hit a three-point shot!

"Oh, Jeff, your guess is completely accurate, the Spurs' three-pointer is coming!"

But the Thunder players on the court haven't realized this yet, and the previous Spurs have been killing the inside line to give them too strong confusion, so in the next round, Li Yang broke through the ball again and sent the ball to the outside, and then after a few guided balls, the Spurs once again got another open three-point opportunity.

This time it was Leonard, also a three-pointer in the bottom corner...... "Whew!"

The Thunder finally reacted, but at this time, the second quarter of the game was about to end, and the difference between the two teams had widened to 15 points at this time!

At 52:67, the first half ended with the Spurs taking a 15-point lead.

At this time, the Thunder finally reacted, they were following the Spurs' script throughout the first half, and they couldn't stop the Spurs attacking the inside, and when the Spurs suddenly attacked the outside, they didn't think to stop it at all.

"The terrifying Spurs, they played with the Thunder in the palm of their hands, the entire first half was under the control of the Spurs, perhaps the only surprise was the Thunder hitting consecutive three-pointers at the end of the first quarter, of course, for the fans, this is a thankful thing, because if it wasn't for this accident, the Thunder team may have fallen behind by 20 points at this time. ”

"Yes, we've been saying that Young didn't play in the first quarter, but if you look at his stats in the first half, he was not bad at all, with 14 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and he got there in just one quarter. ”

The two commentators commented on the performance of both teams in the first half of the game at halftime, and they couldn't help but praise at this time.
