Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 25 25. The Tiger Out of the Cage
The second quarter begins.

Thunder go first.

Anthony Morrow plays point guard.

Morrow was originally a shooting guard, but he has worked hard in the NBA for many years, and it is no problem to connect the team's offense occasionally.

The main reason is that the team needs to attack to chase points at this time, and it is weak for Payne to play to organize the offense.

But Morrow also has a habit of playing the first position. The timing of his attack is not necessarily when his teammates have already run in place.

As soon as he came up, he went straight to the inside, and even his own center was not in place yet.

There was a wrong move, but he borrowed the cover of the center and took the lead in scoring a jumper.

Since then set off a wave of counterattack.

Joe Harris, who is facing Richard, is a player with good three-point ability. It is a pity that when the small ball era comes, more and more players only practice three-point ability. Dribbling and ball control is no longer necessary, and defense has become more direct.

Richard pressed the opponent tightly, never let go, and did not give Harris a chance to catch the ball comfortably.

Harris tried to push Richard away several times but couldn't push it away at all. Didn't it mean that the weakest thing about this rookie is strength?

The Nets, whose integrity was destroyed, gave up tactical singles, missed the ball, and the rebound was taken by the Thunder.

Richard made a fast break, and Harris followed closely, and also entangled Richard with a defense like jellybean.

Three-point defense, so far Richard's strongest scoring ability is also three-pointers.

Seeing that there was no chance, Morrow was already preparing to play a positional battle on the fast break, but Richard turned his back to ask for the ball outside the three-point line.

Morrow didn't want to think too much, and threw the ball vigorously to Richard.

Richard received the ball and stretched his arms, turned to the right, trying to break through from the right.

Harris didn't expect Richard to be good at handling the ball. This turning action startled him, and he quickly adjusted his center of gravity to the right to suppress Richard, so that the opponent could not accelerate well.

It's a pity that Richard made a half-turned fake move, neither of his feet was off the ground, he just made a posture adjustment with his body.

Without pausing, Richard turned around from the left, passed Harris in one step, and charged inside.

Three steps and two steps, Richard sent the ball into the basket with a light dunk with one hand.

The fake moves are realistic, the defense is clean and neat, and the movements are connected smoothly. What a beautiful goal!

During the Nets' offensive round, the ball came to Harris.

Also starting with his back, Harris chose the same attack as Richard.

Start half-turning, if Richard does not adjust the center of gravity to keep up, he can turn around and break through directly. If he keeps up, he may be broken through by the second turn like Harris.

Richard chose to keep up with the pace at the first time, Harris half turned around and knew that Richard's position had changed without looking back.

Harris was secretly happy, and turned in the opposite direction to step back to Richard.

The moment Harris lowered his head and accelerated, he found an obstacle in front of him. He had just accelerated and did not have time to brake, so he bumped into this person.

Li Chade fell back almost straight after being hit hard, finally adjusted his posture when he was about to hit the ground, and sat down on his buttocks.

"Beep!" The referee signaled an offensive foul.

Harris was stunned and didn't see anything when he turned around. Why was he called an offensive foul?Isn't Richard on the other side of him, why did he suddenly appear in front of him?

He spread his arms out with a look of innocence and helplessness.

But it can only slowly retreat to the half-court defense.

When Harris turned around, Richard had already moved his feet again and stood firmly in front of Harris' turn. As long as there was physical contact, falling back would be a foul trap.

Sure enough, Harris fell into the pit.

The Thunder sent a sideline ball to launch an offense, and Harris did not defend Richard closely.

Morrow did not play singles with the ball, but handed the ball to Richard, who played well on the court?

Richard received the ball at 45 degrees, faced Harris who was one step ahead, and made a jumping action with the ball.

Forcibly pulling up three points is too underestimating. If you are not a superstar, how dare you hit such a giant planet?Harris judged that Richard must be a fake move, and only reached out to interfere, ready to move at any time to prevent the opponent's breakthrough.

Sure enough, Richard clicked and stretched out his right leg to dribble and took a big step.

snort!Got it right!Harris also immediately exerted force to his left, and must keep up with the defense.

Who knew that this was also a fake move by Richard, he pulled the ball and turned around, and took back the big step he took, with his supporting foot always on his left leg.

But Harris is completely different. He has already exerted his strength, and he rushed out at once, giving up the space by himself.

Richard flew Harris out and made a steady three-pointer.

"Shua!" Hit the bull's-eye.

With this three-point retreat on the spot and the previous four points, the Thunder evened out the point difference in just over a minute in the second quarter.

The shot that ended the ankle caused cheers from his teammates.

The commentators in the live broadcast room looked at each other, this slap came too fast.

I don't even know how to explain it.

If you don’t speak, it will be a broadcast accident, so you can only bite the bullet and chat awkwardly, "Richard’s three-pointer is still very strong. This is a point that the Nets must solve when facing the Thunder’s second team. As long as Richard is defended, our starting lineup can still stabilize the scene.”

"Yes, Lopez played very well today, and we can turn the situation around when he plays."

With the income of professional commentary, he said something unprofessional.

Harris was immediately substituted. Facing Richard's continuous losses, at least he had to avoid the front first, and he could also carry out a little targeted defense through substitutions.

It's a pity that the offense still hasn't opened, and the Nets once again returned without success.

Facing a defender he couldn't name, Richard handled the ball carefully, and scored the ball inside and handed it to Kanter.

The opposing coach would not be an idiot, sending a player weaker than Harris to defend himself. In order to reduce unnecessary shots and mistakes, Richard did not play this ball.

Kanter relied on his own ability to beat the opponent's center alone and succeeded.

In the first 2 minutes, the Thunder hit a 9:0 spurt and overtook the score.

The Nets had to rotate on a large scale and put the starters on the court again in advance.

Donovan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, calmly, waiting for his scheduled rotation time.

The main players returned to the court, and the Nets finally continued to score again, but the Thunder's offensive continued unabated.

Richard ran fast on the field, and soon exceeded the usual 4 or 5 minutes, but the feeling was still the same as when he first played, and it was obvious that his physical fitness had been strengthened a lot.

Richard also felt that he was as light as a swallow, and even though he had gained weight, he felt less effort, which only showed that his strength had increased to a greater extent.

Last week, I was either in the gym or on the way to the gym. I haven’t been able to get a good rest to get my body into the best condition. On the contrary, because I didn’t arrange a fitness plan for this consecutive away game, my body was rested and the results of the previous training were displayed.

At this time, Westbrook also returned to the court.

Richard, who doesn't need to control the ball by himself to attack, is even more at home. His figure haunts the court like a ghost, and the players defending him are exhausted.

Coupled with Westbrook's impact, Richard can easily get an open three-pointer.

Knowing it, Westbrook passed the ball into Richard's hands as if he had eyes, and raised his hand to score another three-pointer.

Richard made 6 of 4 shots in 3 minutes, scored 8 points and rested.

Just like a tiger that has been imprisoned for too long, and finally released from the cage, the first thing it does is to choose someone to eat.

The tiger's descent was extremely fast and efficient.

Back on the bench, Richard was finally able to stand up again and high-five his teammates one by one.

"Li Cha, you played really well!"

And accept congratulations from teammates one by one.

The second team can counterattack, and the starting players are all working hard.

Adams left the penalty area many times, stuck to Lopez, and suppressed the opponent's three-point shooting rate.

The insiders also actively supplemented the defense to make up for the vacancy left by Adams.

The Nets' tactics were rubbed against the floor.

The offensive end is also quite efficient, making accurate mid-range and long-range jump shots, and continuing to cause damage when breaking through the basket.

第二节战罢，雷霆单节30：14赢了16分，比分来到62：54雷霆领先8分。

The live broadcast room during the halftime break was even more gloomy. What was said was blown out, and now it can't be taken back.

"The Nets' current problem is that their offense has been cut off. Lopez's three-pointer was strictly guarded. At this time, the interior space has been opened, but they cannot break through."

"Defensively, the Nets are still doing very well. Lopez's ability to protect the basket is relatively strong. Today's game has already got 2 blocks. If the offense still can't open the situation, can the coach consider suppressing the Thunder from the defensive aspect."

"I agree with your idea very much. I believe the coach will make good adjustments during the halftime break. Now we also take a break. The cheerleaders are going to perform on the court. Please switch the camera back to the court."

……

The two commentators reversed their chatter about the Thunder at the beginning of the game, and they stopped talking about the Thunder, whether it was Westbrook, Richard, or other Thunder players.As for the longest garbage time in history mentioned in the second section, I forcibly swallowed it into my stomach.

The Nets are currently performing well and only Lopez is alone.

In the away locker room, Donovan presented another lineup and was explaining it to the players.

"That's it. Richard played first in the third quarter. We will increase our offensive strength and strive for a victory in the first quarter. Now we will start preparing for the next away game."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed loudly.

Only Oladipo still had a serious face, and his eyes kept rolling in their sockets.

The 15 minutes of the intermission are fleeting, and the game between the Thunder and the Nets is about to start the second half.

Both sides entered the field aggressively.

The coach of the Nets at halftime also spent a lot of thought to boost morale.

　Please support us a lot, recommend votes and invest in the bowl.
