Chapter 226 A Completely Different Sadness! !

In the last minute of the first quarter, the Thunder called another short timeout. At this time, the score of the two teams was 1:29, and the Clippers temporarily led by 26 points.

"In the last minute or so of this quarter, we want to expand our lead as much as possible."

After Rivers finished speaking, he began to arrange tactics, "Listen to me. I only emphasize two points. In terms of defense, we must pay attention to protecting the backcourt rebounds. If there is a chance, we must play a quick defensive counterattack."

"On the offensive end, don't blindly wait for Yang to organize the attack. In a minute or so, the opponent will definitely guard against Yang and even double-team him. So at this time, I need the rest of you to stand up for me. Can you do it?"

"Understood." Everyone nodded solemnly.

Just as Coach Rivers expected, one of Coach Donovan's requirements is to guard Li Yang well, and if it doesn't work, just double-team him.

In terms of offense, he has nothing special to arrange. The Thunder does not lack people who can attack independently. There are Westbrook and Pickle on the outside, and Neptune Adams on the inside.

What tactics are not tactics.

As long as the ball is given to the turtle and pickled pepper, the problem will be solved.

When the two sides have arranged their tactics, the timeout just runs out and the game continues.

The Clippers were attacking, and as soon as Li Yang advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Westbrook directly pressed him in the halfcourt! !

Schroeder also rushed up from the other side and started double-teaming directly.

Seeing this, Li Yang no longer hesitated to quickly distribute the ball, and gave the ball to Harris with a ground strike like lightning.

After Harris received the ball, he made a decisive three-point jumper! !

"Whoosh!"

"PENG!"

There was a crisp sound of iron striking, the basket shook obscenely, and the basketball bounced high.

Fortunately, Gallinari was in a good position, quickly got the rebound, and hit the rebound twice in a row, rewriting the score to 31:26.

Turning around, Adams hit the basket from the Thunder and hit two points on the hook, 31:28.

The possession of the ball was switched, and the Clippers played a back-up single by Harris, but failed to score, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Neptune took the rebound and gave Westbrook a direct counterattack. The ball was passed back and forth several times, but failed to find a good shot. Finally, the ball was given to Paojiao.

At this time, there are 11 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and it seems that the 24-second attack time violation is about to be violated. Pickle can only take a three-pointer against Harris.

It's a pity that the goal was not made, and the Clippers were left with 4 seconds of attack time.

The Clippers serve from the backcourt.

After Li Yang got the basketball with the help of double screens, he decisively drove the speed to 180 mph and accelerated.

Westbrook is also racing at extreme speed, chasing after Li Yang! !

Chased by the Thunder, Li Yang quickly crossed the half court, and suddenly slowed down two steps outside the three-point line, completing an emergency stop! !
"My God!! What is this guy doing?!"

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans, Li Yang's body drifted, he made an emergency stop, and shot a three-pointer! !

"Whoosh!!"

The basketball leaped over Li Yang's fingertips, spinning upwards and flying past forming a perfect arc! !
"boom!!"

However, in the next instant, Westbrook, who flew over to block the shot, hit Li Yang's body, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time!

"beep……"

"Shhh!!"

Immediately afterwards, two voices sounded almost simultaneously!
The former is the whistle of the sideline referee!

The latter is the sound of a basketball hitting the net! !
"OH! MY GOD!!"

"Yang, he hit the buzzer pull-up [-]-pointer!"

"And he also made Russell's foul, scoring 3+1!!"

The fans at the scene, even the Clippers players, never expected it.

"WTF?!!"

Russell stood up depressed, and while cursing, he turned around and pulled Li Yang up.

"This is simply a terrible shot selection!" Westbrook complained.

"No!!"

Li Yang stood up, looked up at the basket and said with a smile, "Such a shot is not difficult for me!!"

"You shameless pretender!!"

Li Yang ignored Westbrook's complaints at all, and then walked to the free throw line.

"Shhh!!"

With almost no extra preparations, Li Yang flicked his fingers lightly and made a steady free throw.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 35:28.

With Li Yang's magical 3+1 before the end of the first quarter, the Clippers opened the point difference to 7 points in one fell swoop.

It was another hot timeout, and the second quarter began.

The two teams changed into rotations at the same time.

In terms of rotation, the Thunder did not have an advantage, and were even inferior to the Clippers. After playing for more than two minutes, the Thunder fell behind by 9 points.

At this time, the Thunder replaced Sea King Adams, and the Clippers also replaced Old Gortat, and the two began to fight inside.

The two big men kept scrambling for positions and rebounds under the basket. Suddenly, there were muffled muscular collisions on the court.

In the interior duel, the Clippers fell into a disadvantage. Compared with Adams, Gortat was still old after all. Not only was the hammer hard, but the hammer was gone. The Thunder quickly caught up and overtook the score.

Six and a half minutes into the second quarter, Rivers made a substitution, including Li Yang.

The Thunder naturally also made a substitution, replacing Westbrook. Seeing the two on the field, the fans in the auditorium immediately cheered up. The highlight of today's game is the peak duel between two powerful guards.

In fact, it did not disappoint the fans.

As soon as he played, Li Yang singled Westbrook with his back.

Li Yang suddenly put his back on Westbrook with his shoulders, and stretched out his right hand to catch the ball.

The Beverly defender made a decisive cross!
"boom!"

As soon as he got the basketball, Li Yang immediately turned around with his right foot as the axis.

Turn around and step back for a jumper without hesitation!
"Don't think about it!"

Westbrook leaped hard and caused interference! !
but!

The louder the slogan is, the more miserable it is! !

A tall and wonderful arc across the arena! !

"Shh!"

"God, he made the shot right from the start, and his shooting movement is so elegant!"

"He turned around and hit a jumper, and immediately stopped the bleeding for the team. This rookie is a bit amazing!!"

"OH! SHIT!!"

Westbrook, who always eats turtles, frowned slightly, cursing fiercely in his heart.

When he turned around, Westbrook also wanted to return one.

However, as soon as he came to the frontcourt, he frowned. Li Yang put more defensive pressure on him, and other Clippers players were also eyeing him, ready to double-team.

In this case, Westbrook can either go all the way to the black, force a single, or pass the ball.

In the end, he still chose to hit hard. After a breakthrough fake move, he stepped back and made a jumper. Unfortunately, Li Yang had already seen through it and rushed forward. Westbrook could only pass the ball hastily, and was almost robbed.

The ball was given to Schroder, Schroder missed a three-pointer, and the Clippers made a quick counterattack. Li Yang made a long pass to Gallinari. Gallinari scored a layup and earned a foul, scoring a 2+1.

The ball made Thunder coach Donovan frowned, vaguely feeling something was wrong.

Next, the Clippers began to defend Westbrook strictly. Li Yang clung to Westbrook tightly, and the others also consciously cut off Westbrook's receiving route.

Once Westbrook got the ball, the Clippers began to double-team. Every time Westbrook scored a goal, he had to put in a lot of effort and consume a lot of energy.

On the defensive end, Westbrook's restrictive effect on Li Yang has also weakened. After all, defense is not Westbrook's strong point. It is no problem for him to defend for a quarter, but the quality of defense will decline after a long time.

Under the ebb and flow, the Thunder gradually fell into a disadvantage. By the end of the second quarter, the score became 67:60, and the Thunder fell behind by 7 points.

During the halftime break, in the auditorium, the Thunder fans began to get upset.

"Why is it like this again?"

"Yeah, I can't play well, because the power will be cut off when I am playing."

"Defense well. This defense allows Yang to score so many points alone. Russell is also the same. Since he is going to defend Yang, he should defend well."

"Russell" Thunder fans are upset, and Thunder players are also depressed.

In the Thunder locker room, everyone lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was oppressive. From the beginning of the game to the present, after halftime, the score was still behind, and no one was happy.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Thunder had the upper hand, but the score was still behind. Donovan was also very depressed, shaking his head and sighing.

He thought of the similar situation in previous matches, where the lineup had the advantage, but they just couldn't beat the opponent.
