The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 183 The Murderous Buckle (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass)

In the early part of the fourth quarter, Lin Yue and Durant, who had played three full quarters, were put on the bench by Brooks. They needed a proper rest time.

McMillan also benched Roy for Rudy Fernandez.

In the first half of this quarter, the offense on both sides was not very good. After receiving a pass from his teammates in the interior, Oden chose to play alone, but now he really does not have much physical advantage.

The confrontation strength is not great, and the bounce is not high.

Without Roy and Aldridge to open up space for him, it would be difficult for him to face Collison with any singles effect.

The point difference was only 3 points, but after 2 minutes passed, the two of them each scored [-] points, and neither of them took advantage.

The other two are not on the court, and the opener can happily double-team Curry, and it is extremely practical.

It's just that the Thunder couldn't make a shot, and the Kaikuo couldn't make a shot himself.

Andre Miller is not a tough player, and there is no advantage when encountering Curry who is similar in height to him.

Both sides turned into little blacksmiths, fighting against the strong team to advance to another level.

McMillan couldn't stand it anymore, he couldn't help but call a timeout first, Roy has worked so hard, and they will win no matter what.

After a few minutes of playing, McMillan decided to drop Oden. His speed was too affecting. The Thunder will definitely end the game with the lineup later. The only team in the league that focuses on three-pointers is D'Antoni's team. Facing this kind of team, you have to increase your speed to interfere with their shooting rhythm.

McMillan was smart enough to replace Travis. Although Travis was not as tall as Oden, he could run and jump.

The Thunder still used the lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the openers replaced the final lineup, Miller, Roy, Webster, Aldridge and Travis.

Aldridge was taller than Travis, but he didn't like to play center and wasn't good at those skills, so McMillan let Travis go to center.

Soon, the opener's substitutions had an effect.

On the defensive end, their strategy of double-teaming Curry has not changed. Jeff Green's personal ability is limited. Although he scored a layup, it was stolen when the opener's defense was lax. The Thunder will not be so lucky.

Ibaka missed the mid-range, and Collison missed Travis's layup at the basket.

Roy did not miss this hard-won chance to overtake. After the breakthrough, he scored two points in a mid-range shot. In the subsequent offense, he received a pass from Miller, faked a shot from the opponent, and then went to the basket. Facing the supplementary defense, the point was given to Aldridge on the side, and the latter made a steady mid-range hit.

The Kaikuo were only one point behind, and when the opponent was about to start, Brooks called a timeout, and it was his turn to change the final lineup.

"This game was unexpected and exciting. It seems that the audience's tickets are worth their money." Barkley said.

"Which team do you think is more likely to win now, Pig," Kenny Smith said.

"Fly, not fat." Barkley didn't like the name of his friend.

"Okay, okay, so what about my question, do you still think the opener will win?" Kenny Smith asked again.

"The Thunder are still too young, and they may not perform as well as the mature double stars at critical moments." Barkley thinks this way, and all young people will make mistakes, including him.

After the timeout ended, the Thunder replaced Lin Yue and Durant, and at the same time Sefolosha, using their overtake lineup again.

Curry dribbled the ball across half court, and now that Durant and Lin Yue are back on the court, the openers dare not adopt the double-team strategy.

Lin Yue made a cover for Curry. Without Andre Miller's entanglement, Curry raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

The audience at the scene were just about to celebrate, only to find that the ball bounced out of the frame and were forced to sit down again.

Roy didn't make a three-pointer either. Now it's the key to compete in stamina and perseverance. Both sides adopt the most energy-saving attack method, and if they make a shot, they will earn blood.

However, Lin Yue rested for more than half a quarter. The connection between him and Durant penetrated the defense of the Kaikuo team in this attack. After receiving Lin Yue's pass, Durant made a mid-range hit with an emergency stop.

The point difference came to 3 points.

On the next goal, Aldridge stepped forward to face Sefolosha's defense. He was taller and stronger and adopted a scoring method that he rarely used. After squeezing the opponent away, he turned around and scored a layup.

Actively looking for a counter-ball was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Ade, well done." Roy happily celebrated the other party. Now that Lin Yue's physical strength is just right, he has been sticking to it and expending it. If no one else stepped forward, it would definitely not be easy to win this game.

"After the Thunder hit, the Kaikuo also scored, and the point difference was still one point. At the critical moment, it depends on which side's offense falls behind first." Barkley said.

Until the last moment, no one knows who will win the game.

Later, Travis saw the right time and cut off the ball passed by Lin Yue to the inside.

Originally, Durant overtook and cut to the inside, and Lin Yue immediately hit the ground and passed the ball, but Travis suddenly appeared on the passing route and judged that Lin Yue intended to break the ball.

"Lin Yue made a mistake that shouldn't have happened," Barkley said.

After Travis made the steal, he rushed to the frontcourt alone, with Lin Yue in front of him. As a result, Travis Eurostepped past Lin Yue and scored a layup.

The Kaikuo took the lead by one point, and now the Ford Center Arena, which accommodates 2 people, is quiet, and no one makes a sound. They are all cheering for the home team, but time is running out, and they dare not make a sound to interfere with the game.

Next, Lin Yue dribbled the ball across the half court by himself and started pressing the time. Durant reached out for the ball, but Lin Yue didn't give it in a hurry, but waited until there were still ten seconds to start.

This is not his usual style of play, and even Coach Brooks is a little puzzled, isn't he playing the role of the center, why is he playing singles?

"Is Lin Yue going to singles this ball? Probably not. He will definitely break the point later." Barkley said, it seems that Lin Yue has not seen him in the game for so long, and his character is not the kind of player who insists on getting back.

But Lin Yue was really not calm. Curry's words were still circling in his mind. What's wrong with the rookie?

Lin Yue's inner stubbornness was revealed for the first time in the game. It was his emotions that took over the top points and tore apart his usual calmness.

After continuous crotch dribbles, he went left and entered the penalty area. Aldridge immediately double-teamed. Lin Yue dribbled back and forth and passed through the gap. His ability to control the ball was much stronger than usual at this time, and he really entered the state of the game.

Travis came to help defend, and Ibaka was empty under the basket, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Yue didn't want to pass the ball at all, and dunked into the basket against Travis, knocking Travis to the ground.

Such a violent goal made the audience unable to react. Two seconds later, the scene fell into a huge shout. This ball almost locked the best dunk of the year in advance.

Facing a player ten centimeters taller than him, Lin Yue dunked him against the opponent. What an unexpected dunk, the referee's whistle sounded, obviously because of this sudden dunk, the referee was also stunned.

Being dunked and matched with a foul, Travis looked like he had eaten a fly.

Durant and Curry had never seen Lin Yue like this before. They looked astonished. Lin Yue, who was usually harmless to humans and animals, was self-disciplined and liked to joke. His eyes were full of murderous looks, and they didn't dare to get close to him for a while.

　　In the past two days, I was a little confused, my grades were getting worse and worse, and I had no passion for creation, so I fell into a vicious circle, doubting myself and my own story.

　　But Lin Yue still has a long way to go, and I don't know how many people will be able to accompany him till the end
