Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 318 Rhythm Master
Reggie Miller's head coach Donovan, who "want to win too much", acted strangely, preparing to create a wave for the Lakers.

At present, the Warriors are the best in the league at the moment, but they always break out in the third quarter. I have never heard of a strong attack in the second quarter. Can the physical strength of the main players be able to bear it?

Anyway, Donovan, who coached the Thunder for the first time in the playoffs, did this, and the ace player Westbrook didn't have any ideas. He wished that the coach would keep himself on the court.

Without Yuan Qingshan, Kobe could only fall to the first position to limit Westbrook when defending.

Westbrook moved his ankles, and there seemed to be a voice in his ear reading: the current physical fitness is 60%.

What?My stamina is still more than half?

Done!

Boom!Westbrook stomped his feet heavily, took the ball and pushed directly against Kobe to the frontcourt.

Kobe didn't bother him too much, and kept putting him at the top of the arc.

Durant and others rested for 5 minutes, the energy came back, and Durant took the lead in running tactics.

Donovan was so moved to cry when he saw this scene: Are you finally willing to play tactics?
As soon as Durant got the ball, the home fans cheered. Durant enjoyed this kind of treatment. Standing at a 45-degree angle, he raised the ball behind his body with one hand, and kept making tentative steps with his front foot.

Reggie Miller: "It's kind of like Tracy McGrady."

At this time, Artest was in charge of defending him. He defended McGrady a lot back then, and he knew in his heart that McGrady's movements looked more chic, but they were not as threatening as Durant.

After two trials, Durant took off vertically, and with a shock of his long arm, he threw the ball.

Artest flew to block the shot at the first time, but he jumped too short, his fingertips couldn't even touch Durant's wrist, and he could only watch the basketball fly over his head.

clang!
"Huh?" Durant, who had already turned back to prepare to defend, was taken aback.

What's the situation, this goal is not scored?
Whiteside grabbed the rebound from Adams and wanted to pass it to Kobe, but the Thunder had already taken precautions. Adams and Waiters double-teamed him to prevent him from getting the ball. On the other side, Robertson cut off Kobe's way of receiving the ball.

Whiteside was stunned, he couldn't learn Yuan Qingshan's fancy passing, he was at a loss with the ball in his chest.

Downs quickly flashed out from the right side to respond, and Whiteside hurried out the ball.

Durant, who was supposed to be facing off against Towns, was entangled outside the three-point line by Artest, Adams was also caught by Whiteside, Robertson and Waiters repeated their old tricks, and came to pinch Towns again.

Towns's handwork is much more slippery than Whiteside's. Before they pounced, he slammed his palm down, passed the ball with a base, and handed the ball to Kobe.

It's been a long time since I've had such a fast attack!
Kobe threw off his steps and ran, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the Thunder basket, jumped high, and came to a crotch to change hands and dunk.

"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"

The Thunder fans behind him looked at Thackeray's back with disgust and whispered.

"Who is this?"

"I don't know, it seems to have been played before, but I don't remember the name."

"The Lakers' roster for the playoffs is hard to make."

"Yeah, I feel distressed for no reason."

"Wow woo woo woo!" Thackeray in front didn't hear it at all, and was still howling with Bass.

Even marginal people, as long as they are in the team for a day, they must do their part. This is Thackeray's consciousness as a "nuclear weapon"!

After the official timeout, the Lakers replaced Yuan Qingshan, but Westbrook still did not rest.

Kobe and Whiteside went off the field, and Yuan Qingshan cooperated with Towns. Later, Westbrook's footsteps were a bit uneasy. A few balls that he would have rushed to steal without hesitation before were missed, but the regular defensive strength did not decrease at all, let alone the momentum.

Yuan Qingshan sighed in his heart, Westbrook deserves to be Westbrook, he is simply a beast.

Thunder's Beast used its physical strength to limit Yuan Qingshan, while the other Gundam continued the state of unlimited fire in the first quarter, taking 8 shots in the half quarter and scoring 10 points.

With a whistle, the first half ended, 60 to 57, the Lakers trailed by 3 points.

Westbrook 9 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, Durant 26 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds.

Yuan Qingshan 17 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, Kobe 14 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, Towns 12 points, 10 rebounds.

Westbrook drank two large bottles of energy drinks at halftime.

"How are you, are you tired?" Donois asked.

Westbrook cocked his neck: "Tired? Doesn't exist!"

As soon as the front door rang, the team's assistant brought in a large plate of food, which was specially prepared by a nutritionist to supplement energy.

Westbrook snatched it directly, grabbed a handful of biscuits and stuffed them into his mouth, and then chewed and chewed, as if it was a Lakers player who was stirring in his mouth at this time.

After a game, players often have to stay in the arena for 5 or 6 hours. Under fierce confrontation, it is inevitable to feel hungry. Therefore, during the half-time break, most players will choose to eat properly to replenish energy.

The team often prepares various foods in advance, such as bananas, hamburgers, chicken salad, cereal biscuits, chocolate and other foods that can quickly provide calories. The assistant brother was delayed today, so Westbrook caught him right away.

Westbrook's big mouth twitched, bang, and suddenly a biscuit hit his teeth.

What is so hard?Hmph, it must be the No. 16 Yuan Qingshan!

Westbrook squinted his eyes and raised his neck to swallow it.

The 15-minute break was short, and the visiting team's locker room, the Lakers' players put on their jerseys and prepared to re-enter the game.

"Let me just say they're weird here, there's no one in the corridor." Downs was still struggling with this matter.

Scott stared back at him involuntarily.

Entering the arena, Yuan Qingshan walked in the front, and suddenly heard someone shouting from the stands: "Yuan Qingshan, come on!"

The voice was not very loud, but in order to stand out among the Thunder fans, it was almost hysterical.

Yuan Qingshan naturally raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. It turned out to be the blond female fan who had been provoking Westbrook.

Seeing Yuan Qingshan turning back, the female fans waved excitedly: "Come on, come on!" Then they pulled up the front of the jersey and flattened it, so that Yuan Qingshan could see the number "16" embroidered on his chest clearly.

"OK!" Yuan Qingshan gestured to him, and then smiled smartly.

"Ah!" The heart of the female fan was about to melt, and she kept shaking while pulling on the jersey.

It was so glamorous that the male fans sitting next to her were all fascinated by it, sucking, and someone sucked shamefully.

Reggie Miller and Payton didn't leave the commentary booth either. The Thunder are no longer the Supersonics they used to be. If they were in Seattle at this time, they would definitely walk around the old arena and chat.

"In the first half, there was almost no winner, and the point difference was not too big. Reggie, who do you think will enter the state first in the second half?" Payton adjusted Mike and played the guest host.

Reggie Miller hesitated for a moment, and answered seriously: "I think the Lakers will enter the state first, but the Thunder will win in the end."

The answer was ingenious, and Peyton asked why.

Reggie Miller: "I've watched many Lakers games this season, especially at the end of the regular season. As long as the Lakers have Yuan Qingshan and Kobe on the court, the rhythm has always been very good. These two people are masters of rhythm. I think the Lakers are the first to enter the state."

"Well, then why did the Thunder win in the end?"

Reggie Miller pointed to the photo hanging on the second floor of the venue: "Because the Thunder has a killer weapon."

Huge portraits of Durant and Westbrook!
