Start without the ball

Chapter 348 Faith
At the end of the timeout, the main players of both sides returned to the field. The main force of the Raptors had the upper hand. Driven by Leonard, they blew the horn of counterattack.

The Raptors striker had a clear advantage against Ferguson. Even though Tie Sen tried his best to defend, the strength gap was huge. Leonard was not only able to score by himself, but also attracted the pass after the defense was quite deadly. The Raptors were in full swing.

Westbrook, who just played on the Thunder's side, didn't feel good, and failed to score points in several offenses. The Northland team took the opportunity to recover 4 points.

Seeing the strong momentum of the Raptors chasing points, Li Haoyu clenched his fists off the court, feeling extremely anxious. He wished he could immediately go on the court to help his teammates.

Feld felt his uneasy emotions: "You need to rest now, trust Russell!"

At the same time, the Thunder attacked. Westbrook came to the frontcourt and still faced the Raptors' iron barrel formation, commanding his teammates to clear the left half. Adams stepped forward to pick and roll.

The Thunder Turtles accelerated to the left, but Marc Gasol huddled under the basket and did not move forward. Westbrook was emptied two steps inside the left three-point line.

Meanwhile, Adams slid down the lane, but Marc Gasol blocked the passing lane, and Lowry, free of the screen, charged for Westbrook.

The Thunder Turtle stood up without hesitation, leaned on its strong waist to stabilize its figure, aimed at the upper left corner of the backboard, and moved its wrist to make a shot.

bang, swish~
With a hit on the board, the Thunder finally broke the scoring drought in the fourth quarter.

In the next game, Westbrook's touch improved slightly, but his efficiency still lagged behind the full-blown Raptors' main force. At 6 minutes and 40 seconds, the two sides fought 91 to 96, and the Raptors were only 5 points behind.

Seeing Leonard constantly scoring and assisting on Ferguson, O'Neal lamented:

"If George is here to limit this icy scoring machine, there's nothing Ferguson can do.

In addition to the offensive end, Kawhi also has an excellent performance on defense. This year's finals is his battle of proof! "

Barkley: "Some people accused his previous FMVP of being an addition to the Spurs system, but this year, he led the Raptors to emerge, first beating the 76ers in the Eastern Conference, and then winning 4 games in a row in the conference finals. The Greek monster Giannis The regular season king led by him fell off the horse.

Now he is chasing points again and again as an absolute core, Kawaii's ability is beyond doubt! "

Pierce: "The terrible thing is that he is like a perfectly programmed cold machine, with almost no shortcomings, both strength and speed, shooting breakthroughs, passing organization, almost omnipotent!

If you insist on looking for his shortcomings, it may be his character, without Kobe's arrogance, without Jordan's domineering. "

Reggie Miller: "Kawaii is great, but you can't ignore the performance of supernova Mamba the Ghost. As a first-year rookie, he has done his best. Although his ability to hold the ball has been criticized, you can't ignore a phenomenon. Level rookie requirements are so demanding!

He has scored 40 points!This is the rookie finals scoring record second only to Magic Johnson!
The Ghost Mamba is recharging his batteries, and the real decisive moment is when he returns to the field! "

Pierce: "Be realistic, buddy. In the last game, the Raptors restricted him almost perfectly! At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he failed to score a point under the strict defense of the northern team. He played Still can't change the situation!"

Reggie Miller: "Don't you forget, you thought Lee's amazing arc shot was just a coincidence, but he hit the perfect shot again, what's not to bet this time?"

Pierce shook his head and smiled: "Man, I have also won FMVP players and know what Kawhi can do. In this way, if the Thunder wins, I will live broadcast wearing Victoria's Secret. Otherwise, it will be done by you, how about it?"

Miller: "You don't regret it!"

Donovan looked at the ever-expanding score and Li Haoyu's state. After a few minutes of panting, his breathing became much smoother, and then he sent him on the field with a big wave of his hand.

When the ghost mamba came to the technical stage and crossed his hands, the Pisacek energy center boiled, and the Thunder's sharpest bayonet was about to play!

At the same time, the Raptors attacked, Leonard successfully broke through Ferguson, the Thunder forward had no choice but to foul, a dead ball appeared, and Li Haoyu was able to play.

Diallo, who was replaced, clapped hands with Li Haoyu: "It's up to you now! You are the hope of our team!"

The Thunder committed a lot of fouls in the fourth quarter in order to limit Leonard's performance. The cumulative number of fouls has reached 5 times. Leonard walked to the free throw line.

When the Raptors forward took the ball from the referee, the Pisacek Energy Center booed him and blocked his free throw.

The cold scoring machine seems to block the hearing, mechanically flicking the wrist.

bang, swish~
The basketball fell into the net on the back extension. After receiving the basketball from the referee and making some adjustments, the second free throw was still hit. 93 to 96, the Raptors were only 3 points behind!
The pressure is on the Thunder, they must improve their offense.

Li Haoyu signaled tactics with his right hand, and Westbrook nodded slightly. He knew he could not break through the Raptors' iron-walled defense, and the Ghost Mamba was the Thunder's only hope.

Li Haoyu ran forward and landed 30 degrees to the right. Leonard was two steps away, still holding the ball.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to the front court and landed at 45 degrees on the right. At the same time, Adams and Grant on the inside stepped forward to cover for Li Haoyu.

Siakam is ready to switch defenses. Even if Li Haoyu receives the basketball, he cannot complete the shot.

The Raptors are already familiar with this set of defensive tactics, but what he didn't expect was that the Thunder's two insiders actually blocked Leonard's line!

Li Haoyu, who was freed from the shackles, rushed all the way to the sweet spot two steps away from the three-point line!

Siakam panicked. In the last game, Li Haoyu used the cover to catch the ball in a regular position. With this distance, he was fast enough to reach Li Haoyu in time.

But now, the Ghost Mamba rushed to the ultra-long three-point position. The Thunder's two insiders firmly blocked Leonard, and Siakam's position was closer to the inside, which increased the distance of his pursuit!
Li Haoyu arrived at the destination two steps ahead of Siakam, and Westbrook passed the ball immediately.

The Ghost Mamba kicked up after receiving the ball, looked at the basket with firm eyes, and made a shot with his wrist. Siakam was late, and the orange basketball flew to the basket in an upside down spin, touching the hearts of the fans.

shuh~
In an absolute sense, the ultimate curve that passes through the net without any leaves touching the body is staged again!
93 to 99, Li Haoyu's three-pointer once again expanded the score to 6 points, giving the Thunder a solid advantage.

Not only that, this three-pointer also raised the finals single-game three-pointer record to 10 times, with a high score of 43 points, breaking the rookie finals scoring record held by Magic Johnson for 39 years!
