Chapter 86: Winning the Block!
"Young, well done!" At the Spurs bench, a group of Spurs players stood up at this time, waving towels and shouting into the court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, this small area was the only one that cheered.
"Wow!"
When Li Yang finally completed the dunk, the Thunder's home court was in an uproar, just a few seconds ago, the Thunder were in a good situation, they led by one point, and had the ball, but in an instant, they had become behind.
The Thunder called a timeout, at which point they had to call a timeout, and with 14 seconds left before the end of the game, the Spurs took the lead.
There is enough time for the Thunder to complete an attack, and the key is whether this attack can be successful.
"Yang, that's a great job!"
"That steal was so cool!"
When walking to the sidelines, Li Yang was first "ravaged" by Duncan and several people, and then other Spurs players on the sidelines also stepped forward and slapped Li Yang.
Li Yang grinned, being able to help the team in such a critical game and such a critical moment undoubtedly made Li Yang extremely excited.
However, Li Yang quickly regained his mind, because by this time Popovich was already about to set up the final round of defense.
The rest of the Spurs players also quieted down, although the Spurs were still leading by one point at this time, but being able to prevent the Thunder's last attack would allow them to truly win the game.
"Nando, come on for Tony......"
After taking the tactical board, Popovich first made a lineup change, with Nando De Colo replacing Parker and then Split for Dio.
Immediately, Popovich began to arrange defensive tactics, and listening to Popovich's tactical arrangement, Li Yang couldn't help but be a little surprised, of course, Li Yang did not let such surprise be revealed.
The timeout ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the court, and at the moment of re-stepping onto the court, Li Yang couldn't help but glance at several Thunder players who walked onto the court on the other side.
De Colo replaced Parker to defend Westbrook, Leonard and himself went to defend Durant, Popovich's arrangement is to firmly believe that the Thunder's last attack will be handed over to Durant, is the Thunder's arrangement really like this?
"At the beginning of the game, the Thunder have a chance to kill, who will give the ball to...... KD, the ball was given to KD. ”
At the referee's whistle, the game restarted, Ibaka served from the outside, and the ball went directly to the running Durant.
When Durant ran to catch the ball, Leonard didn't put too much pressure on Durant, because the Thunder's offensive time was still enough, and the ball would still be handed over to Durant sooner or later, and handing it to Durant was also in line with Spurs' expectations.
"KD, attack!"
"Shoot, kill them!"
On the sidelines, the Thunder fans all stood up one after another, at first they were shouting casually, but then the sound of the scene became neat.
“mvp!mvp!”
There is no doubt that Durant is the MVP in the hearts of Thunder fans, and he also carries the expectations of Thunder fans and the whole team at this moment, and the expectation of beating the Spurs.
The Thunder's offense was very open, especially at the top of the arc, only Durant was alone, and the rest of the people almost all fell on the baseline except for Westbrook at the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, Ibaka and Collison were near the three-second zone of the baseline, and Sefrosa fell in the bottom corner of the right side.
Such a position is obvious, and it is hoped that Durant can be given a chance to kill one-on-one, vacate the entire line, and give Durant plenty of space.
As for the Spurs, except for Leonard and De Corlo, who are almost close to their opponents, the other three are similar to the regional joint defense position, although Li Yang's counterpart player Seflosa is in the bottom corner, but the other person is more than two meters away from the opponent, and his position is closer to the line.
Time is passing little by little, and Li Yang, who fell one step inside the three-point line, just glanced at Sefrosa from the corner of his eye at this time, most of his attention was focused on Durant, just waiting for the opponent to launch an attack or when the time was ripe, he did not hesitate to step forward to attack.
10 seconds, 9 seconds...... 6 seconds!
When there were 6 seconds left in the game, Li Yang didn't wait any longer, and quickly rushed towards the top of the arc!
Li Yang's move almost completely emptied Sefrosa, but Li Yang did not have any scruples about this, he just bet that Durant would not pass the ball to Sefolosa, and bet that even if he passed, his teammates would be able to rotate in place quickly.
Li Yang's running was like a fuse, instantly igniting the storm that was already brewing in the court, and after Li Yang started running, Durant immediately accelerated the frequency of dribbling and started attacking!
Durant dribbled to the right side, at this moment, he had no choice, because Leonard was obviously cooperating with Li Yang's forward attack, and when Li Yang ran forward, Leonard had already taken a step forward and completely stuck the left side, so even if he knew that Li Yang was rushing from the right side, Durant could only choose this direction to break through.
Durant's original intention was to dribble forward and take a step or two before making a pull-up jumper, as the Thunder only needed two points to win.
However, Li Yang's arrival was far faster than he imagined, Durant had just rushed out of the first step, and the second step had not yet been fully taken, and Li Yang had already rushed over.
Realizing that he was about to fall into the middle of Li Yang and Leonard, Durant took the second step back half a step and jumped up quickly.
With little time on offense, Durant didn't want to get caught in the middle of a pinch and didn't even have a chance to shoot.
Durant jumped, Leonard beside him and Li Yang in front of him also jumped up quickly, and the two long arms reached for the top of Durant's head at the same time.
When Li Yang and Leonard's two big hands shrouded the top of Durant's head, Durant suddenly felt a huge pressure, as if the light had dimmed at this moment.
Gritting his teeth, Durant forced a slight back, distancing himself from the two defenders.
Under normal circumstances, Durant's height combined with his reach would allow him to shoot directly above the defender's head, but now, he has to use a little lean back to avoid the defense of Lee Yang and Leonard.
Both of them have fantastic bounce arm spans!
"KD throws back, can you kill ......"
With all eyes watched, Durant leaned back to shoot, however......
"Oh, block! KD's shot is blocked!"
In order to maintain the stability of the shot, Durant's backlash is not large, after all, the previous physical confrontation with Leonard has given him a lot of interference.
Durant thought that such a shot was enough to avoid the defender's block, but ......
"Whew!"
Just after the ball was shot, a yellow-skinned palm appeared, and the fingertips swept on the ball, sealing!
Li Yang! Li Yang blocked Durant's lore!
"Oh God, KD's shot is blocked?"
"Block, Spurs rookie blocks KD's shot!"
Amid the shouts of the three TNT commentators, the whistle blew for the end of the game.
"Oh, oh!" As if hearing the password, the players on the Spurs bench immediately shouted and rushed to the field, rushing towards Li Yang!
The arena, which has nearly 20,000 people, was a little quiet at this time, and the huge cheers and shouts that had been sounding when Durant launched an attack stopped abruptly!
At this moment, it seemed that all the Thunder fans were suddenly choked by the neck and speechless.
