Chapter 155 Defensive Rotation
The Thunder have trailed by 10 points, and Donovan keeps emphasizing defense:
"We can only recover the score by defending against the Raptors' offense. We double-team Kawhi in a moment. When he divides the ball, the defensive rotation must be fast! Don't worry when attacking, and wait patiently for Li Haoyu to find an opportunity. Don't rush to shoot. What we want now is the success rate!"

After Donovan's arrangement was over, Li Haoyu discussed with his teammates again, planning to put Leonard off the court first after he was ready to play.

After the timeout, the main players of both sides returned to the field.

The Thunder attacked, and Nas considered Li Haoyu's possibility of touching porcelain. On the other hand, in order to take care of Leonard's physical fitness, Li Haoyu's defender has been replaced by Danny Green.

Now that it was Tielin's defense, Li Haoyu didn't have to touch Leonard. He used the screen to easily get rid of Green, found a shot opportunity in the right bottom corner, and aimed at the basket for a steady shot.

"Shu~"

Three points hit! 46 to 39.

The offensive problem has been resolved, and now the Thunder will be tested on defense.

After Lowry dribbled to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Leonard at the top of the arc.

Leonard took the ball and dribbled the ball to find his touch, and then accelerated to break through the defender.

At 45 degrees to the left, Li Haoyu let go of Green and immediately went to flank, trying to steal.

Leonard reacted quickly and passed the ball to the open Green.

Schroeder in the left corner let go of Lowry to cover the position vacated by Li Haoyu when Li Haoyu went to double-team.

When Green received the ball, Schroeder had already arrived in front of him, Green continued to shift, and the ball flew to Lowry in the bottom corner.

Grant, who was on the edge of the left three-second zone, let go of Siakam and went to switch to Lowry.

Time is running out, and Lowry has no way to continue to transfer, so he can only make a strong three-pointer against Grant's defense.

"boom!"

Iron!The basketball bounced high and flew towards Siakam on the edge of the three-second zone on the left. Since Grant went out to change defenses, Siakam was in the open space at this time, and this rebound was sure.

The Thunder fans were a little cold, and they defended successfully with great effort, but the rebounds were gone.

The basketball began to fall, Siakam jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands and put it in his arms. He had already imagined the scene of getting up and dunking the basket again after landing.

"shit!"

Siakam swears, he saw Li Haoyu!

Just when Lowry shot, Li Haoyu pressed the shift and went straight to the basket.

Because Siakam was falling, Li Haoyu ran again, at a higher height, and saw the basketball in Siakam's hand, and took a hard shot.

The basketball broke away from Siakam's hands, hit Siakam's head and popped out of bounds.

Thunder ball!

TNT commentary seats.

Miller: "Lee's rebounding ability is too strong now. Although he was a step late when he rushed in, it was unrealistic to snatch the basketball from Siakam, who was holding the ball with both hands, but he reacted quickly and put Siakam in his hands. The basketball was shot off, and the adaptability is gone.”

Albert: "Li Haoyu, who is serious about grabbing rebounds, really has something. We were all deceived by him before."

Miller: "If it was Russell, he would protect this rebound with his amazing bounce. Although Li Haoyu does not have extraordinary physical fitness, he always uses his extraordinary IQ to make up for his physical fitness."

Miller: "I thought Li Haoyu's rebounding ability was at the bronze level, but I didn't expect to be a king."

Siakam said angrily: "You ruined my rebound!"

Li Haoyu: "You can't grasp the ball by yourself, and the basketball hits your head and crosses the baseline. Who is to blame?"

西亚卡姆：“#！.@”

Li Haoyu ignored Siakam and ran to the frontcourt.

After receiving the basketball at the top of the arc, facing Green, Li Haoyu once again called the two insiders to come forward and make double screens.

Li Haoyu dribbled to the right side covered by Adams, Gasol Jr. switched to defend Li Haoyu, Adams turned and cut to the inside.

Siakam thought that Li Haoyu was going to pass the ball to Adams, and immediately went to defend Aquaman, but Li Haoyu passed the ball 45 degrees to the left.

Grant is already in position here, taking the basketball and shooting it.

"Shu~"

The basketball entered the net through a beautiful arc and hit a three-pointer!
46 to 42, after the timeout, the Thunder scored two three-pointers and narrowed the difference to 4 points.

The Thunder are on the move, and the fans at the Pisacek Energy Center are roaring loudly.

Encouraged by the fans, the Thunder worked harder on defense. After double-teaming Leonard, the defensive rotation was done quite well. In the next game, the Thunder overtook the score with tenacious defense and stable offense.

With 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the second quarter, the two sides fought 55 to 58, and the Thunder led by three points.

The offense was blocked and Nurse requested a timeout.

When Li Haoyu returned to the bench, Westbrook stood up and clapped:

"Bro, you are playing really well now, the Raptors have nothing to do with you."

Li Haoyu: "This is the result of everyone working hard to defend."

Speaking of defense, the famous Oklahoma City percussionist Ferguson said proudly:
"See my brother's sliding speed? It's like lightning!"

Grant: "Wake up, you didn't appear in the first half of the chapter."

Back from the timeout, the genius Nas replaced Leonard, who hadn't rested since the end of the first quarter, and Danny Green.

The Raptors' lineup on the field is: center Gasol Jr., power forward Siakam, small forward No. 24 Powell, shooting guard No. 23 Van Fleet, and point guard Kyle Lowry.

Come on, the death of the Raptors.

Donovan said to Bayer beside him: "Nurse doesn't know what to think, throwing three guards on the field, whoever uses whoever is an idiot."

Bayer: "Brother Wan, you seem to have used Felton, Russell, and Schroeder in a three-back lineup."

Donovan: "Ahem, I'm an experiment. I'm not like Nas, a B, who treats Sanxiao as a treasure."

The Raptors attacked, and Lowry came to the frontcourt and called the inside line to do double screens.

Schroeder was blocked, and Lowry burst into the inside from the left.

Ferguson in the bottom corner recovered the inside protection, and Lowry distributed the ball to Bokobe.

Li Haoyu let go of Van Vleet decisively to defend the bottom corner, and Kobe Bryant passed the ball to Van Jordan.

Under the open space, Van Jordan aimed at the basket and shot resolutely.

"Shu~"

Hit a three-pointer, and Death Sanxiao received results as soon as he played.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Duan Ran: "Director Huo, why does Nas prefer the third primary so much?"

Huo Nan: "In fact, it has something to do with the Raptors' lineup. They don't have reliable small forwards and shooting guards. After Leonard and Green are off the court, Nas has no other candidates. The offensive firepower is not bad and can maintain the offensive momentum."
