Start without the ball

Chapter 322 Nas' Purpose

Ke Fan: "The Thunder and Westbrook are still fierce! George was injured and Li Haoyu was closely guarded again. Facing the Raptors' shrinking defense, this three-pointer is too hard."

Yang Yi: "I don't quite understand the Raptors' defensive choices. Is it really a man to let Leonard stick to Li Haoyu? After the first game, Nas hasn't learned his lesson yet?

In the attack just now, Li Haoyu has already started to take Leonard in circles to consume his physical energy, and the Raptors forward has to take on the heavy responsibility of the team's offense, and his physical fitness will be a severe test. "

Barrage.

"Ghost Nas is starting to work again~"

"Thunder fans sent a congratulatory message. I have already fantasized about the situation where Xiaoka is exhausted."

Seeing Westbrook make a three-pointer, the paranoid Nurse didn't panic at all, and calmly signaled the tactics to Lowry.

After getting the coach's instruction, the Raptors guard nodded, dribbled forward with his right hand, and at the same time signaled tactics with his left hand.

The Raptors quickly settled down, and it was strange that Leonard led Ferguson to the bottom corner silently, without any intention of participating in the attack.

Lowry held the ball at 45 degrees on the right, and the Raptors put up a double screen inside to completely block Westbrook.

Lowry chooses to sprint to the left side of the Gasol screen, and Adams switches defenses. Although his sliding speed is mediocre, it is enough to deal with the breakthrough of the Raptors guard.

Lowry came to the left side of the three-second zone. At this time, Gasol at the top of the arc went to the basket, and Grant followed him, preventing the Raptors center from asking for the ball.

Seeing that Gasol had no chance, Lowry passed the ball to Danny Green at 45 degrees on the left, and then ran to the right corner.

After the double screen was completed, Siakam and Westbrook were left at the top of the arc. The Raptors took him to the bottom corner on the right. After Lowry passed the ball, he came here to block Westbrook.

Siakam raised back 45 degrees, received a pass from Danny Green, and made a three-pointer.

shuh~
The basketball entered the net hollowly. This time Lowry organized two insiders and successfully scored a three-pointer, but Leonard in the bottom corner did not participate in the attack at all!

Barkley: "I really want to understand the purpose of Nurse. In the first game, Kawhi paid a lot for defending against the Ghost Mamba. At that time, the Thunder had Russell and Paul George on the court. Strong point, Kawhi can only stand up on the offensive end to bite the score.

The huge consumption on both offensive and defensive ends made it difficult for the overwhelmed Kawaii to persist.

But this game is different. George is injured and Kawaii is defending against the Ghost Mamba again. The only strong point left for the Thunder is Russell.

Nas is playing a game, he thinks his 4 players are enough to compete with the other three led by Russell! "

Miller: "Relieve Kawhi's offensive burden and let him completely limit Lee's ability. He only needs to single out the thin Ferguson at the right time. In this way, the Raptors forward's physical fitness is really not a problem.

However, without Kawhi's ball-holding organization, can the Raptors' four-man team really compete with the Thunder's three-man team led by Russell? "

The Thunder attacked, and Li Haoyu encountered Leonard's death entanglement just a few steps past the midfield.

Li Haoyu is also aware of the current situation, but in front of Leonard, it is really difficult for him to do anything.

If it's just a bad game and doesn't consume Leonard's physical energy, the Raptors forward will definitely put pressure on the offensive end.

That being the case, Li Haoyu has only one choice to drag Leonard down, fighting teammates makes me afraid of you!
After thinking clearly, Li Haoyu started to take Leonard to the marathon.

Westbrook with the ball was embarrassed, the Raptors were still shrinking, and Lowry was even a small step inside the three-point line this time.

Hello!I made a three-pointer just now, and you still let me go?
Westbrook bent his legs, looked up at the frame, and gradually moved his left hand to his right, but Lowry still shrank inside.

That being the case, Westbrook had no choice but to stand up and take advantage of the situation.

The orange basketball spins backwards and flies forward.

boom!
Basketball is played on the back, and Westbrook's three-pointer has indeed improved, but it has not yet reached the level where it can be used as the main offensive method.

In the subsequent games, the Raptors relied on Lowry to organize the offense. With two excellent insiders, the Toronto team was able to keep scoring points.

Leonard rarely held the ball during this period, and he focused entirely on defense.

But the Thunder had some troubles. George was injured and left the field, and Li Haoyu suffered a death entanglement. Without the outside line to restrain him, the Raptors unscrupulously shrank the inside line.

Westbrook's three-point line, which was emptied, did not perform well, and only made 5 of 1 shots in the second half.

He tried to use the pick-and-roll to create opportunities for his teammates. Unfortunately, the Raptors shrank very little, the Thunder had little room, and the small-scale pick-and-roll had no effect.

The Thunder's offense began to stagnate, while the Raptors kept scoring points steadily. With 2 minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter, the two sides battled 64 to 72, and the Raptors led by 8 points.

Donovan called a timeout, and he put his hope on Li Haoyu's transition.

"Lee, running a marathon with Leonard is never easy, I know you're tired, but the team needs you!

Now the score is behind and we are about to enter the rotation stage. If you can play your explosive scoring ability, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory. "

Li Haoyu was consuming Leonard at the same time as he was consuming himself. Sweat poured down his face, he wiped it dry with a towel, and immediately sweated again. His chest heaved violently, and his breathing was very short.

Picking up the water glass to quickly rehydrate, he doesn't want to talk now, he just wants to recover his physical fitness during the timeout, so that he can contribute to the team in the next game.

Li Haoyu gave a thumbs up with his left hand, signaling to Donovan that he could persevere.

On the other side, the Raptors took the lead, and Nas said excitedly: "Good job! You have done a great job!" After praising the players, Nas squatted next to Leonard.

Li Haoyu's physical condition must not be much better, his breathing is also short, and he keeps wiping off his sweat with a towel.

Nurse: "Kawhi, you did a great job! I know this tactic sacrifices your offensive ability, but the team needs you to limit the damn ghost Mamba."

Nas pointed to the scoreboard: "Look at the score, we are leading! Your efforts are not in vain, everyone knows your importance."

The ice-cold defensive machine showed no waves, he knew that Li Haoyu must be restrained in order to win.

Nas patted Leonard on the shoulder: "I know you are tired now, but the game has entered a transitional period. Donovan is likely to send Lee. I need you to grit your teeth and persevere. In order to win, please."

Leonard nodded slightly, and seized the time to recover his energy.

Dip~ The timeout is up, and the referee signals both players to return to the court.

Li Haoyu stood up, and now he had to go all out to recover the score, but when he stepped on the court, the cold defensive machine was still standing in front of him.

Thunder is in trouble!
