Start without the ball

Chapter 335 The situation changes suddenly
At the same time that Gasol hit a three-pointer, Adams quickly picked up the basketball and sent it to Westbrook, and the Thunder Turtles pushed forward at full speed.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu couldn't care less about giving birth, and accelerated to follow up.

Leonard and Lowry returned to the backcourt to defend, Westbrook rushed inside, attracted the attention of the two, and passed the ball 45 degrees to the right.

Li Haoyu arrived in time, caught the ball and jumped up, aimed at the basket, and gently pulled out the basketball in his hand.

shuh~
The orange basketball spins back toward the hoop, hollow into the net.

59 to 47, Li Haoyu responded to the Raptors' three-pointer.

Seeing the Ghost Mamba hit a long shot, the audience at the Pisacek Energy Center cheered, and they saw the hope of chasing points.

O'Neal: "The Thunder adjusted wisely in the second half. When Lee fell into inefficient ball-handling isolations, the team couldn't find the offensive rhythm.

Instead of attacking from a position, it is better to speed up the pace and look for offensive opportunities before the Raptors have set up a defensive front. "

Pierce: "Yes, Russell's speed is the Thunder's only advantage."

On the sidelines, Nurse roared at the Raptors: "Get back to the defense quickly! Don't f*ck walk on the court!"

The Raptors attacked, Lowry dribbled forward with his left hand, and directed the players on the field to position with his right hand.

Westbrook slid back beside him, seeing Lowry loosen the protection of the ball, and kicked his right foot on the ground with all his strength, his bulging muscles erupted with terrifying power, like an arrow from Li Xuan, heading straight for the basketball in the hands of the Raptors guard .

Lowry quickly used his body to protect the basketball. Westbrook slapped the ball to the frontcourt. After confronting Lowry, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Fast attack!

The moment Westbrook touched the basketball, Li Haoyu started to rush forward. Lowry's speed was affected due to confrontation with Westbrook. The Ghost Mamba picked up the basketball in front of him and rushed straight to the frontcourt.

Stepping into the inside line, kicking the ground up, raising the ball with his right hand, his bulging muscles are ready to go.

boom!
Li Haoyu succeeded in counterattacking dunks, 59 to 49, and the point difference narrowed to 10 points!The Pisacek Energy Center roared loudly, the beloved team scored consecutively, the fans saw the hope of turning defeat into victory, and the Thunder was on the rise!
Nass wanted to pause, but the assistant coach Handy stopped him: "Don't worry, the situation is in our favor!"

Nas said angrily: "Are you crazy, the Thunder scored 4 points in a row!"

Handy: "Calm down, do you think the Thunder's way of scoring can continue? Fast breaks consume a lot of energy. Trust your players. Look, Kawhi is already asking Lowry for the ball."

Nas instantly understood the intention of the assistant coach, relaxed his nervousness a little, and looked at the field.

At the bottom line, Danny Green continued to run back and forth with Li Haoyu. Knowing the opponent's intentions, Li Haoyu slowed down his pursuit, but the increase in running distance was inevitable!

Leonard took the ball at 45 degrees on the right, and the Raptors quickly cleared the area on the right to make room for his singles.

The Raptors forward raised the ball to aim at the basket, Ferguson stepped forward in small steps, and Leonard accelerated to the right.

Ferguson's defensive footwork is very good, following the Raptors forward, Leonard resisted a little, pushed away Ferguson, retreated 30 degrees to the right, outside the three-point line, and kicked his legs on the ground.

Ferguson rushed forward with all his strength, Leonard observed this scene, stopped the shooting action, and waited for Ferguson to rush to him.

It was too late for the Thunder striker to slow down, and Leonard jumped forward.

Drop~
The referee's whistle sounded and Ferguson fouled.

Leonard stabilized his figure with his strong waist and abdomen in the air, aimed at the direction of the basket, and shot by relying on muscle memory.

The basketball flew forward in a reverse spin, hit the back of the basket, bounced a few times, and fell into the net!
3+1!

The shouts of the Thunder fans stopped abruptly. On the Raptors bench, everyone stood up and raised their hands to pay tribute to their teammates who played well on the court.

Leonard walked to the free throw line, at the same time, Li Haoyu exited the sideline, preparing to go quietly to the Raptors backcourt.

Raptors assistant coach Handy saw this scene and quickly shouted: "Lee! Watch out for Lee! He wants to break fast!"

Danny Green, who was engrossed in watching his teammate's free throw, heard the coach's reminder, turned around quickly, found Li Haoyu's whereabouts, and posted it in time.

Nass nodded in satisfaction. After studying the video of the previous game, Nass felt that he must beware of Li Haoyu's quick and silent down, so he asked assistant coach Handy to observe Li Haoyu's movements at all times.

His assistant completed the assigned task excellently, Nas patted him on the shoulder and said, "Man, you did a good job!"

Handy: "For victory! For Canada's first O'Brien Cup!"

On the court, Leonard made a free throw.

bang, swish~
Additional penalties were made, 63 to 49, and the point difference returned to 14 points again.

Adams served quickly, Westbrook still advanced at full speed, and Li Haoyu followed up to look for opportunities.

But the Raptors returned to defense early and did not give the Thunder a chance to score in the chaos.

Westbrook is holding the ball at 45 degrees on the left, and Li Haoyu, who is defended by Leonard, falls on the right. Death entanglement is famous for being a defensive champion in the league, but it is harder than reaching the sky.

After gesturing, Adams and Grant stepped forward to cover and firmly blocked Leonard.

Li Haoyu clung to Adams' arm and ran all the way to the left corner, but it was a pity that it was not Gasol who switched defenses, but Siakam.

Li Haoyu received the basketball from the left corner. The Raptors forward had already rushed in front of him. Siakam, who was tall and long, was like a mountain. Li Haoyu didn't dare to make a rash move.

After thinking about it, he raised the ball and aimed at the basket. Unfortunately, Siakam was only one step away and did not step forward. He knew that his height and wingspan were enough to block the shot after Li Haoyu took off.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu stepped forward with his right foot, but Siakam, who was one step away, still didn't move. He had figured out Li Haoyu's attacking method with the ball.

The tentative step didn't work either. In desperation, Li Haoyu had no choice but to pass the ball back to Westbrook at 45 degrees to the left.

In the next game, the Thunder fell into inefficient ball-handling singles. On the Raptors side, Leonard's combination of shots and bursts continued to score points. Others gradually had offensive opportunities. Danny Green also continued to Consume Li Haoyu's energy.

Donovan can't replace Li Haoyu's main attack in advance. Without his restraint, Westbrook will not be able to face the Raptors' unscrupulous contraction, and will lose even more.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides battled 83 to 63, and the Thunder trailed by 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, the situation did not improve, and the point difference continued to widen. The final score was 108 to 81. The Raptors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder by 27 points in an away game.

O'Neill: "The Canadian team not only equalized the score, but also found a way to limit the ghost Mamba. They snapped Lee's fangs. The Thunder guards lost their original rhythm. The Raptors are in great shape!"

Pierce said with emotion: "In the last game, the Thunder showed a smooth and smooth offense. I thought that the Raptors could not parry the aggressive and strong offense of the Oklahoma City team, so they lost, but the tenacity of the Canadian team exceeded our belief. , they not only equalized the score, but also found the key to winning the series!"
