Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 121 The Dust Settles
Looking back, the Wizards must defend against the Thunder's attack!
However, Durant was already calm at this time, and began to press time under Li Sheng's call.

While dribbling with his back facing Ariza, he observed his teammates' running positions.

Both Ibaka and Antetokounmpo began to screen off the ball for Sefolosha and Robertson at this time, but when the defenders were about to change positions, Robertson suddenly ran back and slipped to the basket, scaring the two defenders to follow him subconsciously at the same time.

But Antetokounmpo suddenly withdrew to the bottom corner at this time, received a pass from Durant, and prepared to shoot from outside the three-point line.

When Bill ran halfway, he suddenly reacted and turned around quickly. Seeing that Brother Antetokounmpo was already adjusting his posture, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

The team fell behind, but he performed very well in this game. Of course, Bill hoped to take away both the data and the victory, so it was a time when his nerves were tense, and he didn't even care about whether he would foul.

Antetokounmpo didn't look at him at all, and he shot the ball with a light jump, but he was knocked out by Bill, who had his body confiscated, before it landed.

beep!
The whistle blew at the right time, and the referee still gave a three-point foul. After all, this is the home court, and this violation is also obvious.

For a moment, Bill, who stood on the spot with his hips on his hips, was in stark contrast to the smiling Antetokounmpo who fell to the edge of the auditorium.

If he doesn't foul, maybe Antetokounmpo won't make a hit either.

But it's hard to say, and it's too late to think about it now. Even if it can be challenged, it is obviously impossible to challenge the ball successfully, and it may waste a timeout.

Durant and Ibaka came forward to pull Brother Antetokounmpo, and Durant quickly patted the boy on the head, smiling brightly.

When Antetokounmpo walked to the free throw line, Li Sheng started to change again, replacing Robertson with Lamb. This is mainly because the opponent is likely to take a foul tactic to fight to the death. Robertson's shooting is still almost, and free throws are not very stable.

Of course, Antetokounmpo's free throws were also unstable, but this time he hit two, and the last hit made the Wizards have to start serving from the backcourt.

At this time, the time has come to 57 seconds, and the Thunder's lead has come to 8 points again. In the 6-8 range, at the last moment of this game, it seems to have become a curse for the Wizards, and they have never been able to break through.

If you want to overtake by 1 points in the last minute, you must first score quickly and then defend.

So this time Wall quickly advanced for three seconds and passed halftime. At this time, the frontcourt was already running. Bill and Ariza used the cover of their teammates to come out and prepare to catch the ball. However, Wall suddenly started when Sefolosha looked back.

Sefolosha hurried to keep up, and at the same time Ibaka also came to help defend, and Antetokounmpo had to pay attention to blocking his passing route.

As a result, Wall did not choose to pass the ball this time, but just passed through the gap between Sefolosha and Ibaka and took off and gently put the ball into the basket.

Seeing that they couldn't guard against him, the two were smart enough not to reach out rashly to give him a chance to foul him. This is the experience of an old player. If they were replaced by rookies, they might be anxious and want to pull him down at this time.

Then when the Thunder served, the Wizards began to press the ball, interfering with the serve as much as possible, and when the ball was still passed to Durant, they turned around and quickly formed a double-team.

Durant was a little caught off guard, and Ariza took out a turning ball.

He subconsciously waved his hand to ask the referee for a foul, but this time the referee didn't give face.

However, Li Sheng commanded Brother Antetokounmpo to come over to meet him. He had quick eyesight and long arms, and caught the ball into his arms before the two double-teamers.

Li Sheng yelled at him from the sidelines again, pressing down with both hands, signaling him to keep pressing the time.

As long as there are no mistakes, the opponent must be the first to be anxious.

In 46 seconds, Bill stepped forward to press again, Durant gave Lamb, and Wall quickly came to defend.

Lamb was transferred to Sefolosha, but Sefolosha didn't vote, and hung it to Ibaka, who was in the inside position.

In 39 seconds, Ibaka played Okafor with his back and did not push, so he moved the ball out to Lamb. As soon as Lamb received the ball, Wall directly hugged him, and Lamb threw the ball casually.

The cumulative number of fouls has been reached, so Lamb has to go to the free throw line at this time, but it doesn't matter, their goal of consuming time has been achieved, and the Wizards must pay such a price in order to prevent Durant from attacking.

Lamb walked to the free throw line and made both free throws.

At this moment, the Wizards have actually lost hope, but 7 seconds later, Bill scored another three-pointer from the outside, but it cheered them up again.

At this time, Bill's eyes seemed to be a little different, and Li Sheng also found it interesting to watch.

This is the man who will compete with Kuzi for the scoring title in the future. Although Bizi didn't grasp it in the second half, it can't be said that he pulled his hips. It's just that Kuzi was too fierce at that time, and he directly labeled "let go" as a compliment.

Bill, who is only in the third grade, is actually growing rapidly like Thompson of the Warriors now, and has not yet reached his peak period, but an occasional explosion like this also shows his potential.

At 28 seconds, the Wizards first tried to press and then fouled again. This time, Ibaka was sent to the free throw line. Ibaka made two free throws, but Antetokounmpo suddenly jumped over the crowd and grabbed an offensive rebound.

All the players of the Wizards were shocked. They didn't expect that Durant would get an offensive opportunity after all precautions.

Durant swayed away from Ariza who was rushing towards him directly from outside the three-point line, calmly shot a three-pointer and hit it steadily, and the two points directly turned into four points.

"Durant hit a three-pointer, which directly killed the suspense of this game. The Thunder are going to win!" Yoga couldn't help shouting excitedly. After all, the Wizards' chasing points at the end of the game was still quite nervous, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Many Thunder fans who watched the game also breathed a sigh of relief. There were already comments on the forum about opening champagne in advance.

But it's actually not too early at this time, because there are only 24 seconds left in the time. Normally, there is only one offensive opportunity, but the Wizards are now 9 points behind.

虽然在理论上来说还是有反超的可能，而实际上也有35秒13分、28秒11分以及9秒8分这种神奇逆转的时刻，麦迪时刻、米勒时刻也伴随着他们的生涯一直为人津津乐道，但这种事情可遇不可求。

Even Whitman was about to give up at this time, shaking his head and sitting back on the chair.

The Wizards players still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but they didn't expect to make a mistake in their busy schedule. The connection between Wall and Bill was directly seen through by Sefolosha and completed a fatal steal.

"Sabo Sefolosha's steal, the Swiss Army Knife, completely extinguished the Wizards' hope of counterattack. However, he did not choose to continue to attack and handed the ball to Durant. Durant stopped attacking with the ball, and the Wizards stopped pressing. The two sides finally passed the last 15 seconds in a friendly relationship."

For this sake, there is no point in pressing any more. The Thunder will lose face, and if they press again, it will seem a bit unkind.

At the end of the whistle at the end of the game, players from both sides embraced each other, and Li Sheng also came to the Wizards' bench and shook hands with Whitman to say hello.

"You've done a great job, young man, keep working hard." Whitman's face looked a little tired. After all, the current team record is not that good. Although they are in the East, they want to make the playoffs. Their current state is still unstable.

Li Sheng thanked him with a smile, and said a few polite words, and then glanced at Durant who was being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

The rest of the team was not in a hurry to go back to the locker room, and many fans on the sidelines were still there, echoing with them from a distance, and the shouts of "OKC" were endless.

It wasn't until Li Sheng came over that they slowly stopped.

"Go back to the locker room first, Serge and Giannis, you have to take a shower first, so you can go to the post-match press conference."
