On the other side of the ocean, because it was the weekend, the game between the Thunder and the Spurs also received a lot of attention.

The first two quarters were a friendly group of fans, but after the third quarter, the situation changed.

On the Tiger Fight forum, fans began to frantically complain about the blowing penalty in the third quarter of the game.

"What kind of penalty scale is this, there is no whistle to rush in and kill, some of this game is played?"

"The strength of the Thunder team is not good, don't look at a wave of 8 consecutive wins, when you encounter an old strong team, your original form will be revealed, and Li Ze's level is just like that!"

"Upstairs, what is the level just like that? After three quarters, 7 of 12, 5 rebounds and 5 assists without turnovers, already 15 points, this level is not good? ”

"It's really almost meaningful, the 3rd quarter was defended 5 in 1, and the intensity of the confrontation came up and it was inaccurate!"

"It's obviously a whistle problem, just like last season's Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers didn't blow at all in the fourth quarter, and Kobe Bryant's elbow referee didn't blow! The Spurs are on the body, and it is an old tradition to step on the feet or something! ”

"What do you call Kobe Bryant's elbow? Didn't Anthony also wrestle with Kobe in the box? If the level is not good, don't blame the defense, see how Kobe Bryant won! ”

"Hehe, hug the thigh to win, hug O'Neill and then hug Gasol!"

"Upstairs Jammy, take a championship and talk again, right? How many championships does James have? If you play with your body, you can't do it, and by the age of 30 he has to decline. ”

"It's better than hugging your thighs if you don't win the championship, and you can bully the Magic team with a cancer style of play, isn't it blown up in 08?"

"Kobe Bryant has four championships, let's take the championship first and then talk about these, no, let's rush out of the East first, James will definitely not be able to beat the Big Three of the Green Army."

......

In the CCTV studio, taking advantage of the break, the hosts Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping were also talking about the scale of the third section.

"Coach Zhang, what do you think of the referee's blowing scale in the third quarter, is it a bit too encouraging confrontation?"

"Actually, on the one hand, it is the reason for the scale of the blow, and on the other hand, it is also the flaw of the Thunder's style of play, the scale of the two sides is the same, everyone uses the body, but the Spurs have Duncan."

"The high-intensity physical confrontation affected the projection of the Thunder team, and when he broke through, Duncan assisted in defense, and the time when the point difference was opened was after Duncan's continuous low-post offense was successful, and the Thunder team was in a hurry!"

"If you can't shoot, you rush in, right in the arms of the Spurs, and then a 10-person rotation on the Spurs' side, the rotation will go normally in the third quarter, and the Thunder team is the main hard top, and the physical fitness will definitely decline."

Zhang Weiping has not been very optimistic about the Thunder's lineup, in the West, you don't have an All-Star level inside, and it is very difficult to achieve good results.

"Coach Zhang, what adjustments do you think the Thunder should make in the fourth quarter, after all, they are already 10 points behind."

The host, Yu Jia, threw out the question again.

"The first is to defend, you have to defend it, you have to be fierce, and then there is not to make mistakes, playing the Spurs, mistakes are to give points, and finally it is to shoot the basket again, otherwise it will be difficult to catch up with these 10 points."

Zhang Weiping felt that it was normal for the Thunder team to lose, but he hoped that Li Ze could score more points and the data would look better.

"Thank you for Director Zhang's comments, the fourth quarter has begun, let's get back to the game!"

Coach Brooks also fought hard, and losing by 10 points in the regular season is no different from losing by 20 points.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, a small lineup such as Turtle Turtle, Li Ze, Durant, Jeff Green, and Ibaka was directly dispatched.

When Lee came on the court and saw that the Spurs were still in regular rotation, Ginobili brought George Hill and other substitutes, and he knew that this was Popovich's decision that the game was decided.

"Russell, the defense is pressing Hill with all his might, don't give him a chance to break through with his right hand, this guy's left hand is a weakness!"

"Kevin, when the time is right, help Sergi to help defend, they will definitely play inside, as long as we defend two rounds, we can win this game back!"

Before Li Ze came on the court, he began to tell his teammates that most of the first few games were clocked in the third quarter, and he fell behind for the first time in the new season to play in the fourth quarter, and his side couldn't drop the chain first...

"No problem, Bro, I'll defend Hill and I won't score!"

The turtle is high-spirited, and the fourth quarter is still full of blood, as a physical monster, even if he plays the whole game, he will not feel too tired.

In the first attack of the fourth quarter, after George Hill dribbled through the halfcourt, he was pressed by the turtle, constantly giving him physical confrontation, and from time to time he also pulled the ball.

Fortunately, Ginobili came over in time to respond, and the old fritter felt that the Thunder team had strengthened the physical confrontation again, and Li Ze also began to make some small moves for him.

After the pick-and-roll, it went directly to Antonio McDyce on the inside, who faced Ibaka's defense and just wanted to hit the back as soon as he released the ball, but Jeff Green pounced to help the defense.

In this situation, Antonio McDyce directly sent Matt Bonner to the outside, but the Thunder's defense rotated very quickly, and in desperation, the ball returned to George Hill after continuous passes from the outside.

The turtle turtle still clings to the shot, and when he saw that the offensive time was running out, George Hill quickly released the ball and broke through with his left hand, but this time he was defended!

The fierce physical confrontation left George Hill unsteady with his left hand, and the turtle saw the opportunity to first stab, and then a fish jumped to pounce on the ball and cut it away.

Seeing that Ginobili was about to come over to grab the ball, the turtle threw the ball on the ground, Li Ze instantly rushed to the ball, and after getting the ball, he accelerated wildly and rushed across the halfcourt.

Michael Finley chased desperately behind, and while he was moving, Li Ze noticed the defense, and then aimed at Durant who was also sprinting behind, not stopping the ball, fake a real pass, and threw the ball high in the back.

Michael Finley jumped with Li Ze, and after landing, he saw Durant behind him complete the empty connection and dunk with one arm!

"Bang...", a beautiful air relay.

"Ahh Wow!! ”

The atmosphere at the Ford Center was once again ignited by this open dunk, and after trailing by 10 points, the audience who had been silent for a quarter once again let out enthusiastic shouts.

Seeing the success of this attack, the turtle turtle in the backcourt also began to shout loudly, and kept signaling to the audience at the scene, and the atmosphere became lively.

"Well done, Russell, keep up this defense!"

Li Ze, who was back on defense, thumped the turtle's chest.

The turtle turtle was already energetic at this time, and the mood came up with a howling defense, George Hill was pressed and defended in the half, the two were about the same height, but there was a bit of a gap in strength.

In addition, George Hill's explosiveness can't catch up with the turtle, and he is still uncomfortable to defend after blocking and dismantling, and he can't get rid of the defense at all.

In the end, the ball was put in the hands of Antonio McDyce again, and this time the veteran learned the lesson of the previous round, turned directly to the baseline, and took advantage of the situation to shoot a hook.

But he underestimated Ibaka's bullet speed, and the offense was not countered, and Ibaka took off easily and directly hit a pegboard cap.

After the ball bounced down, Durant directly controlled the ball, saw that the Spurs had all retreated, and then passed the ball to Li Ze.

After Li Zeyun passed the half, he made a tactical gesture to his teammates and greeted the turtle turtle at the same time:

"Russell, No. 1, be patient!"

Li Ze knew that the emotional feeling of the turtle turtle might also explode, so he wanted the turtle to fight this round.

This offense was crucial, and after two consecutive hand-to-hand hand-to-hand encounters with Li Ze and Durant, the turtle faced Michael Finley's defense.

Noticing the opponent's one-step defense, after the turtle turtle dribbled under the three-point line in a row, he suddenly raised his center of gravity with the ball in his right hand and feigned a breakthrough, which made Michael Finley's defense move back again.

It was the moment when the defense changed, and the turtle directly closed the ball and made a jump shot outside the 3-point line.

"Hmm...", the ball hollows into the net.

"Roar!! Yes!! ”

After the goal, the turtle beat his chest and roared, and the goal was scored, and the difference was directly narrowed to 5 points.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the Ford Center was noisy again, Popovich directly asked for a timeout, and he was about to change back to the main force, and the victory in hand could not be so lost.

Taking advantage of the pause, in the CCTV studio, Zhang Weiping also sighed:

"The Thunder's Westbrook offense is unreasonable, he shoots it when he pulls it up, this is his first three-pointer of the game, this game is really hard to say!"

After the timeout, the Spurs were all in the mix, and DeJuan Blair and Richard Jefferson were back, and with 9:56 left in the fourth quarter, the two sides began the final showdown.

The Spurs' offense, initiated by Parker's blocking, saw Duncan being frantically guarded forward, Jefferson came over to pick up the ball and transitioned, and then handed the ball to Duncan.

The moment he received the ball, Jeff Green immediately went over to help defend it, and Duncan quickly gave the ball to DeJuan Blair who was open on the outside, and the Thunder's defensive rotation instantly made up for it.

But the ball moved faster, and after several consecutive transmissions of the non-stop ball, Ginobili on the outside got an opportunity and made a direct jump shot with an empty 3-pointer.

"Bang...", the iron struck.

"Rebounding!" Li Ze hurriedly reminded his teammates to pay attention to the rebound.

Ibaka and Jeff Green under the basket desperately stood up to Duncan to prevent the opponent from grabbing a good position, but fortunately, the ball bounced a little far, and Durant protected the rebound with his long arms.

"Be patient, guys, score this goal!"

After receiving the ball, Li Ze signaled everyone to slow down, as long as the ball was scored, there was only one goal missing, and the morale was completely turned over.

After dribbling through the half, Li Ze motioned to Ibaka and Jeff Green to come up to cover, and after handing the ball to the turtle, Li Ze began to run without the ball, but Ginobili's old fritter did not leave him an inch.

"Kevin!! Kevin!! ”

Li Ze saw that he didn't have a chance, so he quickly signaled Durant to catch the ball, and at the same time did off-ball cover with Jeff Green.

After tearing off the ball, Durant managed to get rid of the defense and faced DeJuan Blair's defense after receiving the ball.

Protect the ball with your back first, and shake off some of your position with a half-turn feint of your right hand.

At this time, Durant faced the front frame, held the ball in his right hand, quickly pulled back with a cross-step dribble, leaned back slightly outside the 3-point line, and jumped directly!

"Durant's ball is unreasonable..."Director Zhang just said half of his words.

"Whew..."The 3-pointer hollows into the net.

"It's in! Durant hit a 3-pointer directly, and there was only a 2-point difference, and the Thunder started the fourth quarter with an 8-0! ”

The host Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"Strong shots, too strong individual ability, the Spurs' defense is actually no problem."

When Director Zhang saw that the ball was really thrown in, he was a little speechless...

"Wow!!"

After the goal, Durant was also very excited, screaming, but Li Ze was sweating, he thought Durant would break through, but he didn't expect this guy to pick it up and throw it.

Popovich shouted to Parker on the sidelines, signaling to be patient this offense, if you can't score, the game will be in suspense!

The Spurs' offense this time first tried to disrupt the Thunder's defense by passing the ball continuously from the outside, but they changed the defense whenever they were covered, and the outside line never had too good opportunities.

At this time, Ginobili found that Durant changed to Duncan's side and directly put the ball in.

Duncan quickly split the ball, and Ginobili from the outside shot an open three-point jumper.

After the ball swung around the basket, it slid straight out and Ibaka protected the rebound.

"Fake!!"

Ginobili, who returned to the defense, scolded angrily, failed to score two consecutive shots, and it was still an empty position, which really shouldn't be.

After the turtle dribbled through the half, he first played a block with Ibaka, Parker has rich experience in defense, fast footwork, and frequent shots in order to delay when squeezing through, but these actions The referee did not blow in this game.

Seeing that there was no good chance, he immediately played another hand, but as soon as Durant received the ball, Jefferson and DeJuan Blair immediately stepped forward to wrap up.

Durant hurriedly passed the ball to Li Ze on the outside, and after receiving the ball, he faced the defense of Ginobili, and directly broke through, carrying the defense to kill inside, and saw Duncan come over to help defend him, and walked out after going around.

At this time, there was not much time to attack, and Duncan also followed directly, Li Ze saw this situation, dribbled the ball with his right hand and pulled it back under his crotch, suddenly retreated and jumped, facing Duncan's defense, and fired directly outside the 3-point line.

The 3-pointer hit steadily.

After scoring the goal, Li Ze immediately raised his hands and signaled the audience to get dry!

"Ahh Roar!! ”

When the teammates saw the goal and the score overtaken, they screamed excitedly, and the Ford Center Arena also exploded instantly, and the audience shouted frantically to vent their excitement.

"It's in! Li Ze's shot is reasonable, seeing that time is running out, he is not in a hurry, pull it out and vote for you, the score is overtaken! ”

The host Yu Jia was stunned by Zhang Weiping's side, this ball is also called reasonable? If you don't score, you may be counterattacked directly by the Spurs...

Popovich called a timeout again, and the old man roared wildly in his heart: This game is outrageous! Is basketball played like this?

The Spurs came back from the pause, Duncan scored the ball against the defense of the two, and in the next game, the two sides began to alternate leads, and the Thunder team was to wrap Duncan and not give you the opportunity to play the inside easily.

On the Spurs' side, once Durant received the ball in the low post, he also quickly sandwiched, and Popovich knew that Durant's ability to handle the ball was not good, and wanted to cause his mistakes.

The two sides began to alternate leads, and at this time both sides played very simply, handing the ball to the player with the most offensive grasp on the court, and the Spurs' GDP combination has been working together for many years and is full of tacit understanding.

On the Thunder's side, Li Ze, Turtle, and Durant will open up whoever has a chance, and Ibaka and Jeff Green are one on the inside to grab rebounds, and the other is waiting for cakes on the outside.

The two sides were evenly matched, and in the final 1 minute and 18 seconds, the two sides were tied at 95-95, and Popovich called a timeout again, and this time they had to score the ball.

During the pause, Coach Brooks didn't say anything specific about the tactical arrangement, and came up with chicken blood:

"Boys, it's great, we need to keep defending where we're going, we've got to protect the rebounds, we're just one step away from winning, hold on!"

Durant's physical strength had bottomed out at this time, and he sat on the side and gasped for air.

DeJuan Blair didn't do anything after he came on the court, so he desperately defended Durant, even pulling the top belt, just not letting you receive the ball comfortably.

Coupled with Jefferson coming up from time to time, Durant was forced to make 2 turnovers in the fourth quarter, which he really hadn't experienced in the previous two seasons.

The turtle turtle was still full of strength, and it was also by relying on the continuous impact of him and Li Ze to create kills that he could bite the score.

Jeff Green and Ibaka were also tired enough, the two on the defensive end fought Duncan to the death, Parker and Ginobili also rushed inside, and every time they grabbed the backcourt rebound, it was like a fight, and they had done their best to play like this.

Li Ze feels okay at the moment, if there is another overtime, it is estimated that he will have to have weak legs, but after two or three more rounds, it is not a big problem.

The short timeout soon ended, and the live DJ began to mobilize the crowd and cheer together for the home team's defense:

“Defense！！ Defense！！ Defense！！ ”

The old guys of the Spurs looked calm, still Parker and Ginobili passed the ball hand-to-hand, Duncan blocked and went down, and Jefferson transitioned the ball and immediately passed to Duncan in the low post.

Jeff Green immediately came up to help defend the pinch, Duncan quickly gave Ginobili on the outside, and then, with a series of passes, Jefferson at 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line got an open opportunity.

After receiving the ball, without hesitation, he made a jump shot from outside the three-point line.

"Whew..."3-pointer hit.

"Oh!! Oh yes!! ”

The crowd at Ford Center let out an exclamation.

"Richard Jefferson! The 3-pointer hit and with 56 seconds left in the game, the Spurs led by 3 points, 98-95, and the Thunder still had time! ”

The host Yu Jia said excitedly.

"The Spurs tactics were executed very well, scoring and playing, not in a hurry, and finally Jefferson grasped the open 3-point, and he made 3 of 8 in this game, and the three-pointer went into this one."

Zhang Weiping sighed at the Spurs' tactical execution, which is smooth...

After the Spurs scored, Coach Brooks immediately called a timeout, he knew that the ball was actually a slow rotation of defense after the physical decline in fitness, but this was also something that could not be helped, after all, in the second half, the main team did not rest.

Seeing that his players were a little frustrated, Coach Brooks hurried to serve chicken soup:

"It's okay, guys, we still have enough time to tie the score, be patient, be patient, be patient, don't make mistakes, have a chance to shoot resolutely!"

This short pause calmed everyone on the Thunder team, and they took a breath by the way, Li Ze knew that if he couldn't score in the next round of attack, the game would probably be gone.

Therefore, after the pause, after the turtle was transported to the half, Li Ze immediately made an offensive gesture, and kept shouting by the way:

“Patience！！ Number 1! Number 1! ”

The Thunder began to patiently pass the ball on the perimeter, Jeff Green stepped up and made a fake cover, and the turtle instantly accelerated and went straight into the box.

The breakthrough speed was too fast, Duncan hurried over to help the defense, but as soon as the defense was on, the turtle immediately passed the ball to Ibaka under the basket, and DeJuan Blair saw the situation and came over and wanted to cut the ball.

But Ibaka threw the ball directly to Durant on the outside, who didn't stop the ball and then passed it to Li Ze at the top of the arc.

Facing Jefferson, who rotated his defense, Li Ze made a false shot, flew to the defense, adjusted it, and made a jump shot directly.

"Whew..."3-pointer scored.

"Ahh Yes!! ”

The crowd at Ford Center was in a frenzy, and it was a thrilling game!

After scoring the goal, Li Ze immediately called his teammates to return to defense, and he didn't want to be directly beaten by the Spurs to switch offense.

The morale is back on the side of the Thunder team, and the turtle turtle has already killed the red eye, so he is staring at the ball defense!

At this time, it is useless to shout anything, it is completely based on feeling and instinct to play, the turtle follows Parker, then Ginobili, and then Jefferson, where the ball is, he will defend it.

Maybe it was because Turtle's defense was too oppressive, Jefferson was unlucky with the ball, and when he saw Parker coming, he wanted to hand over the ball quickly, but his shot was slow and was predicted by Li Ze.

The ball was just about to fly to Parker's hand, Li Ze directly gave up the defense of Ginobili at this time, rushed out directly, snatched the ball away, and killed the opponent's basket with all his strength.

Jefferson desperately tried to return to defense, but he couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Li Ze rush across the three-point line and dunk with one arm.

"Bang...", steal and dunk.

"Ahh

The crowd screamed wildly, and the ball nearly killed the game, with only 12 seconds left, and the Thunder took the lead again.

Li Ze successfully predicted Jefferson's route, this goal was scored, and the Thunder only needed to defend three points, at least to ensure that they would not lose! This game is very exciting! ”

In the CCTV studio, the host Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh that the inner line was blown up, but he won in the end, this scene is too rare.

Popovich used the final timeout, 12 seconds, and plenty of time for the Spurs to still have a chance.

Coach Brooks also secretly clenched his fists after seeing Li Ze's steal, this game can be won!

"Don't foul, guys, don't foul, don't give Duncan a chance to play 2+1, you can put their 2-pointer, we have to step on the 3-point line to defend, defend this ball, and the victory will be ours!"

Coach Brooks didn't remind his teammates that they couldn't make mistakes at this time, and victory was just around the corner.

"Russell, control your emotions, stay focused, cover and change guards!"

Li Ze hurriedly told the turtle turtle before he came on the court, don't go up again at this time, the last round, it was pure coincidence.

Turtle nodded to show that he understood, and he also knew that he had disrupted the team's defensive plan just now, but fortunately, the result was good.

The Spurs sideline ball was sent by Ginobili, Li Ze raised his hands high, tried to interfere, and the players in the field were huddled together, pulling each other...

Parker, who came out of the screen, was not in a hurry after receiving Ginobili's serve, Duncan stepped up and continued to play blocking, and the turtle squeezed through the cover to defend hard, but at this time, Parker hit the ground from behind and passed to Duncan outside the three-point line.

The latter took the ball and took a look, and Ibaka reacted at this time, he missed someone, and hurried up to pounce, but Duncan had already thrown the ball.

Li Ze was also a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene, so he voted?

"Bang...", the iron struck.

Durant directly protected the long rebound, and DeJuan Blair immediately came up to foul.

"Squeak..."

The referee signalled two free throws, while DeJuan Blair also left the field with six fouls.

"Oh!! Yes!! ”

The crowd at Ford Center was finally in complete hiatus, with 4 seconds left in the game, but the Spurs didn't take a timeout, and the Thunder won!

With Durant hitting 1 of 2 free throws, the Spurs served in the backcourt and the time ran out, and finally the Thunder won 101-98 at home.

With 9 consecutive wins at the start of the new season, fans in Russia couldn't believe that Salted Fish had really turned over.

After the game, Li Ze and his teammates high-fived and celebrated, this game was too difficult, especially the last 3-pointer, which really scared him, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart:

"Popovich is a bad old man, he always has something new to play..."
