When Li Yang stood in front of Durant again, the league's scoring champion couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Yang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before, Durant didn't care too much about who his defensive players were replaced, but now, after realizing Li Yang's difficulty, he finally began to face Li Yang.

was defended by Li Yang for two consecutive rounds, and the defense in both rounds was not a coincidence, but really put pressure on Durant, which couldn't help but make Durant mutter.

Where did the Spurs get so many players who defended well?

This season, Durant's Thunder still regards the Spurs as one of their biggest opponents in the West, so when they found out that the Spurs had another excellent outside player, Durant couldn't help but feel angry.

Why the Spurs have always had very good role players and the Thunder have not. After coming to halftime, Durant reached for the ball again.

If it is an ordinary player, if he fails to attack twice in a row, the rest of the team will definitely not give him the ball easily, but Durant is obviously not an ordinary player, he is the absolute core of the team, the first attacker, when he asks for the ball, don't say that he just misses 2 balls, that is, he misses 10 balls, and others will not and cannot refuse.

Fisher once again passed the ball to Durant's hands, and at this time, many Thunder fans on the scene were already shouting and cheering.

The team's top card was deflated by the Spurs defenders in two rounds, and this player is still a rookie they have never seen, and the grievances in the hearts of Thunder fans can be imagined.

Durant took the ball outside the three-point line, Ibaka mentioned the high block at this time, obviously, after realizing that Split's mobility ability is excellent, the Thunder chose Ibaka's block, so that even if Dio takes the initiative to change the defense, Durant's movement speed is superior.

Ibaka stood on the right side, Durant also rushed to the right side with the ball, although Li Yang, who had been prepared, quickly rushed from Ibaka's side, but was still delayed, and when he rushed over, Durant had already rushed into the three-point line.

Dio did not take the initiative to change the defense, he shrank a step behind, ready to defend Durant's breakthrough, after seeing this, Durant immediately rushed to the right front step, to rush directly past Dior.

But it was this slight delay, and Li Yang had already rushed up again and followed Durant's side.

"It's coming so fast!"

While surprised that Li Yang followed so quickly, Durant accelerated forward with the ball. When leading Li Yang by half a body, Durant naturally would not let Li Yang stop him again.

It is true that although Li Yang can still stick to Durant's side, he can't stop the other party from rushing forward.

However, it is not easy for Durant to rush directly into the interior, Dio has begun to move towards the basket on this side to prepare for the defense, and on the other side, Split is also always paying attention to the basket to make up for the defense.

Durant is obviously well aware of this, leaning on Li Yang to rush forward, he did not try to rush directly to the basket, and when he rushed to the baseline and took two steps outside the three-second zone, Durant stopped and jumped and shot.

On Durant's side, almost when the opponent just jumped up, Li Yang also jumped up, and his long arm probed directly to the top of Durant's head, he did not try to block Durant's sight, but directly touched Durant's basketball that was raised above his head.

Li Yang's defense at this time undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Durant, and it also surprised him even more, Durant knows very well that there are not many people in the league who can put pressure on their own shooters in a one-on-one situation.

This requires not only excellent reflexes, but also good height and superhuman reach, and now, Li Yang is giving him such pressure.

However, Durant is really not the league's top scorer, although Li Yang gave him a lot of defensive pressure, but Durant did not panic, his wrist shook slightly, and he threw the ball to the basket before Li Yang's palm came.

"Bang!"

The ball flew out of Durant's hand and did not fly directly to the basket, but smashed into the front of the basket. However, Durant's luck was good, and after re-bounce, the ball still fell towards the basket.

Watching the ball finally fall into the basket, the Thunder fans on the scene finally breathed a sigh of relief, Durant finally shot a ball under Li Yang's defense, and did not lose three in a row.

However, Li Yang's defensive performance of this goal obviously did not have any problems, and such a performance really surprised the people on the scene.

Give Durant enough pressure, whether it is offense or defense, this is Popovich's previous arrangement, the previous two rounds, Li Yang has given Durant enough pressure on the defensive end, and now, it is the turn of the offensive end.

The Spurs launched an attack, and after Joseph dribbled to the halfcourt, Li Yang, who had fallen outside the three-point line on the left side, immediately ran forward and asked for the ball.

Catch, Start, Break!

Li Yang's offense was extremely decisive, almost just got the ball, Li Yang had already smashed the ball on the floor, and then suddenly started to rush forward and hit the basket.

Like many players when they first faced Li Yang, Durant was also caught off guard by Li Yang's swift first step, and when he reacted, Li Yang had already rushed past him, and then went inside, rushing to get two points with a one-handed dunk before Ibaka returned to defense.

Seeing this goal, the Thunder fans on the scene were almost about to burst into foul language, where did the Spurs find such a player, who can not only snipe Durant on the defensive end, but also completely ignore Durant's defense on the offensive end?

In the first five minutes of the second quarter, the confrontation between Li Yang and Durant was the main theme.

In terms of offensive strength and scoring ability, Li Yang is obviously not Durant's opponent, but his breakthrough is not something that Durant can easily defend, especially when Durant is not too familiar with Li Yang.

So in just 5 minutes, Li Yang actually scored 6 points and also sent an assist.

On the defensive end, Li Yang also put a lot of pressure on Durant, and without adapting to Li Yang's defensive style, Durant did not face Li Yang's offense several times.

At 33:30, when the players on both sides rotated again, the Spurs had changed from a 2-point deficit to a 3-point lead, in which Li Yang's contribution was not small.

Li Yang then played on the court for another minute, but there were not many points in the statistics, and then he went down to the court to rest with 6 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound and 1 steal.

The Spurs didn't waste the lead, and although Westbrook's play-up made the Thunder's offensive firepower stronger on the court in the next few minutes, the Spurs still widened the margin to five points with their overall coordination and defense.

At the end of the first half, the margin was fixed at 52:47.
