Chapter 364

Ibaka grabbed the basketball with his right hand, blocked shots and rebounds with one hand, and successfully completed the defense.After landing and avoiding the Lakers' counter-robber, pass the ball to Durant who is standing at the top of the arc.

Durant dribbled forward, avoided George's steals with a dribbling technique not much different from that of a defender, and launched a breakthrough.

George quickly accelerated to run, circled in front of Durant, and continued to defend.

Durant's height is too good among perimeter players, and almost no one can match him, George, who dribbles with his back and defends singles.

Kobe was responsible for defending Robertson, decisively gave up the restriction, and went to help defend Durant.

Durant has a heaven-defying shooting touch, ignoring the two defensive players next to him, repeating the same trick, trying to complete an unsolvable jumper.

Knowing that he couldn't block the shot, Kobe made a foul and sent Durant to the free throw line.

Durant has entered the 180 club, has a soft shooting touch and is confident in his free throws.The first free throw was not adjusted, and it went out of the box.

For the second free throw, Durant didn't dare to overdo it. He stabilized his shooting rhythm, shot according to his habits, and made a steady hit!

97-103, the Lakers trailed by 6 points!

From the end of the game, there are 3 minutes and 17 seconds left!

Most of the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena are already on their feet, nervously watching the game in progress.They are not sure whether the team can win, they can only burst out with all their passion to help the team's defense.

Thunder players were extremely eager for this victory. They showed playoff-level confrontational intensity, defended desperately, and did not give any easy shooting opportunities.

Mentality affects the overall defense, and when all players are working hard to defend, the system is unbreakable.At this time, a superstar is needed to crack it.

Xu Tian was facing a double team, and the offensive pressure was very high. He first passed the ball to Kobe, and then began to run without the ball.

Billy Donovan knew that Xu Tian had an unsolvable ability to move without the ball, so he made arrangements in advance to make Robertson follow him closely at all costs.Once no defense is formed, other players have to give up their opponents and go directly to make up defenses to ensure that there is always a defender between Xu Tian and the basket. This is commonly known as infinite defense.

Unlimited defenses have always been aimed at players with the ball. It is worth using this system to target players who run without the ball. There are only a few such as Xu Tian and Curry.

Kobe couldn't find Xu Tian, ​​so he turned to back-up singles with the ball and bullied Westbrook who was defending him.

Westbrook is younger than Kobe and has more leg strength, but his experience is still much worse. He was easily swayed away, giving Kobe room to shoot again.

Kobe is proficient in various offensive skills, stepping up and down and leaning forward to shoot, trying to complete the board.

The arc of the basketball is higher than that of normal cricket, and the rebound angle is not enough. It hit the back edge of the basket and bounced into the air again!

The figure in the gold jersey appeared, overwhelmed Ibaka who was trying to grab the defensive rebound, and scrambled for the offensive rebound.Then he grabbed the ball with his right hand and completed the dunk in the air!

Xu Tian's performance shocked the audience.If it weren't for the high loyalty of the Thunder fans, they would have already started cheering for him.

The Lakers broke the scoring drought and scored two points!

99-103, 2 minutes and 52 seconds!

Billy Donovan still has three timeouts in his hands. To be on the safe side, he called out a short timeout among them, reiterating the importance of inside protection for rebounds.

The Lakers also made adjustments to replace Josh Smith with the more capable Blake, trying to block the Thunder's inside players and gain more opportunities for offensive rebounds.

Both Durant and Westbrook played close to 40 minutes. The two did not speak during the timeout, and stepped up to replenish water and adjust their physical condition.

The confrontation at the last moment of the game will be very high, and the physical exertion will also increase. For players who play for a long time, the burden will be quite heavy.Fortunately, Dewey's two juniors have both experienced the bayonet-like playoffs, and they can still cope with this situation.

Players from both sides returned to the field and continued the rest of the game amidst the cheers from the fans.

Xu Tian sometimes finds it amazing.Many people have never played in front of 2 people in their lives, and he faced [-] almost completely different audiences every game night, accepting their welcome or sarcasm.This is also a landscape of life.

Westbrook dribbles more consistently than Durant, dribbling the ball upcourt and then handing it over to Durant.

Durant is recognized as the second small forward in the league. Of course, he doesn't like this title, but it can reflect his strength.

George lowered his center of gravity, put his left forearm against Durant's back, straightened his right arm, and put on a classic defensive posture, trying his best to interfere with Durant.

Durant's offensive talent is exceptionally good. He feels George's defensive dynamics on his back, adjusts his dribble, and turns over and leans back.A shot with a very high release point is impossible to be blocked.

The basketball draws a perfect arc and enters the net hollow!

99-105, 2 minutes and 37 seconds!

Oklahoma fans have deep feelings for Durant, and they are extremely excited about his scoring a key goal. The decibels increased again, even to the point of deafening.

Randall sat on the sofa in the living room, still cheering for the Lakers in his heart.Although he was traded to the Pacers and became the star of the team, he still has some feelings for the Lakers in his heart.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt under Robertson's high-pressure defense, bent over to protect the ball, and looked for Robertson's defensive loopholes.

Robertson doesn't have to worry about the offensive end, and puts all his energy on the defensive end. He is more focused than other players, and the restrictive effect on Xu Tian is also more obvious.

Xu Tian fought with his body and forcibly took the advantage with his strength. He dribbled the ball into the three-point line and switched to a post-up singles mode.

The Thunder's defense is very targeted.Westbrook gave up his defense against Kobe, moved quickly laterally, and Robertson pinched Xu Tian who was dribbling.

Before Westbrook exerted a physical confrontation, Xu Tian used his footsteps to move half a step away, turned over and pulled up, and leaned back to the middle distance to the extreme.

Ibaka and Adams blocked the opposing players respectively, creating opportunities for Durant to easily grab the rebound.

Westbrook couldn't stop his figure and bumped into Xu Tian who was in mid-air.

Xu Tian was hit to the floor and slid backwards to relieve the force.

The referee blew his whistle and called Westbrook for a push foul.

The basketball jumped a few times on the hoop, and under the watchful eyes of the Thunder fans, it sneaked into the basket.

2+1!

Kobe and George ran over and pulled up Xu Tian, ​​who was keeping his shooting hand, and the three of them clapped hands in celebration.

Durant took out his braces, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the scoreboard above the arena.

Xu Tian and his teammates finished high-fiving, quietly stood on the free throw line, took the basketball from the referee, and executed the extra penalty.

The fans booed and tried their best to interfere with Xu Tian.

Xu Tian took the shot easily and hit it steadily!

102-105, 2 minutes and 20 seconds!

The fans at the scene stopped booing and shouted the slogan "Beat LA" in order to cheer for the players of the home team.

Westbrook began to accelerate in the backcourt, ignoring the Lakers' defensive system, and desperately hit the basket.
