Start without the ball

Chapter 157 Dependency
In the rest of the second quarter, the Thunder seized Van Vleet and scored another goal. The Raptors relied on Lowry to score a goal. At the end of the first half, the two sides battled 1-60 and the Thunder led. scored 66 points.

The players from both sides returned to the locker room. Ferguson, who played well at the end of the second quarter, crossed his legs in high spirits, and said to Grant on the side:
"Now you have nothing to say, I scored 2 goals in a row."

Grant: "Score 2 goals in a row and you're inflated. Look at Lee, he scored 18 points at halftime."

There is no harm without comparison, and Ferguson felt a little worried: "Hey, Li is the core of the offense, and I am a defensive champion, so I can't compare so well."

Grant: "I think you can really be compared to a superstar in a way."

Ferguson asked excitedly: "What? Tell me quickly."

Grant: "Brother Turtle is a superstar."

"of course."

Grant: "You're as good as he is."

Westbrook, who was playing with his mobile phone on the bench, suddenly felt his nose itchy.

"Ahh Qiu~ Who's pissing me off!"

In the Raptors locker room, Kobe Bryant and Van Jordan, two 'powerful' scorers, are communicating.

Van Vleet: "The Thunder gang is really stinky and shameless. It's fine for Li Haoyu, the core of the offense, to hit me with 2 goals. Even Ferguson's sewer character single-handedly hit me. You have to know that Ferguson usually has no offensive position."

Powell: "Bro, there's nothing we can do about it. When we play together, we decide whether to attack strong or defend weakly. Other teams will stop after one goal and switch to other players to attack. However, the Thunder has the final say on the court. This kid likes to grab the loopholes and hammer hard."

The intermission passed quickly, the main players of both sides returned to the court, and the second half of the game began.

The Thunder had the ball, Schroeder dribbled to the frontcourt, and gave the ball to Li Haoyu at 45 degrees on the right.

Li Haoyu got the basketball, Grant came to pick and roll, blocked the left side of Green, Li Haoyu rushed inside.

At this moment, Siakam and Lowry went to double-team together. Grant was not in place yet, and catching the ball while moving was not his forte. Li Haoyu distributed the ball to Schroeder at the top of the arc, and the Thunder point guard made a decisive three-pointer. .

Li Haoyu saw the arc of the basketball's flight and realized that the ball was ironed. He turned around with his signature back, passed through the gap between Lowry and Siakam, and went straight to the inside.

"boom"

Sure enough, the iron hit, and Gasol stuck Adams behind him, but he didn't expect Li Haoyu to go inside.

With the strength of running, Li Haoyu leaped high, and before Gasol got the basketball, he turned the ball to the right 45 degrees to Grant's hand.

Leonard in the bottom corner knew that Grant's fixed-point three-pointers had a good hit rate, so he let go of Ferguson and went to defend Grant.

Grant passed the ball to Ferguson, who was open in the bottom corner, and made a three-pointer!

"boom"

Also hit the iron!
(°ー°〃) Li Haoyu felt a little tired.

When will Komori be ready for the game?

Gasol didn't let go of this rebound, and it was firmly in his arms.

Raptors attack.

Lowry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, handed it to Leonard at the top of the arc, and sank to the right corner.

Leonard dribbled the ball to the left. At this time, Ferguson adjusted his steps to block. The defender moved. Leonard dribbled the ball from his right leg to his right hand with his left hand, and then rushed to the right.

At 45 degrees on the right, Li Haoyu let go of Green to help defend, and Schroeder from the bottom corner moved up to fill Li Haoyu's position.

Leonard read the defense calmly, and was not in a hurry to get 45 degrees to the right. He saw Schroeder's movement and passed the ball to Lowry in the right corner.

The Raptors made a three-pointer.

"Shu~"

The basketball fell into the net through a beautiful arc, 63 to 66.

In the next game, Leonard handled the double-team calmly, and the Raptors felt bursting from the outside.

On the Thunder's side, Li Haoyu was able to deal with the double-teaming very well, but the Thunder's final offense had a problem, and the Pisacek Energy Center was filled with rhythmic iron strikes every time.

The Raptors took the opportunity to overtake the score. At 2 minutes and 57 seconds in the third quarter, the two sides fought 87 to 80. The Thunder had fallen behind by 7 points. Donovan requested a timeout.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Duan Ran: "The Thunder are a bit tough these days. Schroeder, Grant and Ferguson have been hitting hard one after another. They can only rely on Adams' strong attack inside."

Huo Nan: "The Thunder relies too much on Li Haoyu, and Li Haoyu initiates the offense. Although the shots are good, but successive strikes will affect the mentality of the players, and they will become more impatient. The next shot will have psychological pressure. The Thunder needs to change the game Law."

Barrage.

"Hey, Brother Yuzi really tried his best today, this game is really difficult."

"Schroeder, I beg you to let the basket of the Pisacek Energy Center go, you are about to knock it out of the way."

"The Raptors are so accurate. Lowry made 3 of 3 three-pointers in the second half, and Green also made 2 of 1. Who can stand it?"

When they returned to the bench, the generals of the Thunder looked a little gloomy.

Schroeder: "Why didn't this damn basketball make a shot today."

Grant wiped off his sweat and said, "I'm a little iron today, and the basket seems to be covered."

As for Ferguson, he was shutting himself out at the moment, not saying a word.

Donovan: "Don't worry, now our offense has a problem, don't be impatient, I will rearrange a few sets of tactics now, Li you for a while."

Li Haoyu: "Coach, although the offense initiated by me has the opportunity to make shots, but this is too simple. They will have a certain psychological pressure when they make shots. Please arrange a few sets of tactics for them to attack. I will wait for the opportunity when the defense is distracted. and move."

After thinking for a moment, Donovan said, "Okay, it will be like this for a while."

After the timeout, they returned to the game. At this time, they were in the transition stage, and the two sides sent out a rotation lineup.

Relying on the performance of Morris and Diallo, the point difference did not expand and remained at 5 points. At 9 minutes and 43 seconds of the fourth quarter, the two sides fought 97 to 92, and the two sides switched back to the main lineup.

After returning to the field, Li Haoyu has been sinking in the bottom corner, handing over the initiative to Schroeder, relying on Adams' pick-and-roll, Schroeder's breakthrough began to threaten the Raptors' inside line, and Gasol's speed was not enough to deal with Schroeder. With Rhodes' breakthrough, the Thunder's offense has improved, but the Raptors' outside touch has declined somewhat.

第四节5分03秒，双方战成了104比100，雷霆落后4分。

Schroder dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to call Adams and Grant to come up to cover. Lowry was a little irritable, and he was always picked and rolled in the fourth quarter.

Li Haoyu in the left corner was silent for a long time. Green relaxed his vigilance and looked at the double screen at the top of the arc.

Labor and management waited for nearly half a quarter, just to divert defensive attention, and now they are all in charge of Schroeder, and finally it's time for me to play!

Mystery: The technique of turning back and cutting the enemy!
When Green looked at the top of the arc, Li Haoyu exited the field, ran along the baseline to the empty right corner, and Schroeder passed the ball.

"shit!"

It was only when Li Haoyu received the ball that Green realized that he had missed someone!

Li Haoyu adjusted his breathing, took off and moved the bowl in one go.

"Shu~"

The basketball hit the net with a beautiful arc.

104 to 103, the Thunder are only 1 point behind!

　The fourth more will be taken before 9:[-].
