I'm king in the basket

Chapter 406
In the second quarter, Westbrook took a break.

The Thunder's backcourt lineup is Harden and Fisher.

A veteran and a young man, the common feature is that they can hold the line.

Coupled with Durant's stability in the army, for a while, neither the Raptors nor the Thunder can gain the upper hand.

The situation of the game was crisscrossed.

In order to prevent the situation from being reversed, Snyder also did not dare to replace Li Xing.

Li Xing took a 3-minute break in the first quarter and was replaced at the beginning of the second quarter.

His partner is Reggie Evans.

Tonight's Bargnani was quite satisfactory, because Li Xing was there, so Snyder asked Bargnani to rest more.

When the Italian makes his next appearance, he hopes to bring surprises.

Harden organized, and suddenly, Durant's screen helped Fisher create an opportunity.

Fisher will not let go of this opportunity.

The basketball was passed to him, he jumped up and shot, and hit a three-pointer, only 2 points away.

When it comes to the 96 golden generation, fans can read a lot of names. Behind the group of legendary names, Fisher will definitely be mentioned. This extraordinary character who has never been an All-Star, but has contributed countless final-minute performances at the last minute players.

Like Robert Horry, he has a killer instinct when it comes to critical moments.

Moreover, he is the only one on the Lakers who can calm down Kobe above him.

His existence can also restrict San Shao to a certain extent.

Otherwise, it is easy for young people to raise their tails to the sky.

The Thunder played a beautiful overall offense slowly, and the Raptors are still looking for the safest way to score.

Li Xing didn't feel good either, so he turned over and threw the ball, hitting the iron.

Then came the Thunder's moment of talent.

For many teams, fast breaks tend to occur in two situations.

When a teammate is at the front of the frontcourt or a fast-break player gets a long pass, analyze the situation on the field and then accelerate at full speed.But for the Thunder, attacking at full speed and at full capacity often comes before analyzing the situation on the court.

This "action first, thinking later" fast break method is difficult for opponents to adapt to. They are more accustomed to the traditional offensive methods of most NBA teams.

The Thunder's style of fast break begins with Westbrook grabbing the rebound with near-unstoppable ability, getting airborne and passing the ball while everyone else is returning to the half court.Westbrook is one of the players with the strongest personal breakthrough ability in the league.And the Thunder's offense starts with his quick-start ability.

When he's not on the court, the Thunder's fast break will slow down a bit, but it will be more reasonable.

However, the Thunder's advantage isn't just Westbrook's quick running.Whether the other teammates are grabbing rebounds or penetrating into the penalty area, they are also working hard to complete their first three steps.That's clearly what the Thunder emphasize in every practice: making sure they're running as fast as they can on every possession.

Each of them is very fast, except for Fisher, an old bone who can't keep up with young people, the others really want to ride the wind and waves.

Harden stayed beyond the three-point line and threw the basketball into the air.

Durant followed up, grabbed the ball, and scored with a dunk.

This is the secret of their victory over the Spurs.

They don't have such good tactical literacy and experience, and they may not have such good skills. They are just young and good at flying.

In front of them, the usual techniques and tactics do not work.

Li Xing could feel that Thunder's momentum was soaring with their offense and defense in these few rounds.

This is also what Snyder did not expect.

With Li Xing in charge, how could this group of people turn the world upside down?

This is very novel, and it is the same for Li Xing.

He hadn't been challenged like this in a long time.

It’s like playing 2K and you’ve already lost your game in the late stage. Suddenly there’s a game and the computer pushes you to a corner. What will you do?

Would you quit and start over?
Of course not, you will find ways to reverse it, which is the fucking fun.

Li Xing's thinking was almost the same. He looked forward and had a clear idea of ​​how to complete the rest of the game.

Shelvin Mark couldn't understand Li Xing's mind, he followed, passed the ball according to the tactical gesture, and then stepped aside.

What will happen next, he doesn't know, he just needs to stand outside the three-point line and watch.

What kind of offense hurts the opponent's spirit the most?
Desperate three-pointer?
Bloody button?
Fairy ball?
The answer is when the opponent has you covered, you grab the rebound, and you score the second play when they blow up.

Li Xing knew that his shooting touch was not good, but he insisted on shooting.

The position of the shot is also very particular. Here, he can approach the basket immediately after the shot, and he can use this to compete for rebounds.

Li Xing still felt bad when he took the shot. He knew that the shot would not go in.

Perkins also pressed back in time after his shot. He didn't want Li Xing to have the chance to grab the rebound.

His grabbing point is very accurate, this time, if it is someone else, there is really no way.

The ball popped out of the basket, right above Li Xing.

If they don't grab the rebound, the Thunder's backhand will be another fast-break counterattack. At that time, the momentum will completely fall to the opponent.

Li Xing couldn't let this happen.

Perkins felt that he was leaning against Li Xing, and his broad back was full of strength. This was the iron bone and steel drive that had been practiced for countless hours in the gym.

However, such a body is not enough to stop Li Xing.

With a roar, Li Xing jumped on top of Perkins under pressure.

Li Xing grabbed the offensive rebound toughly.

Lei Ting's generals were shocked, and they all shrank inward.

It's too late.

Li Xing, who got the ball, was an unrestrained beast. Perkins' position became his graveyard, and he knew he couldn't guard Li Xing.

The torrential rain came instantly, and Li Xing leaped up, finishing a heavy dunk on top of his head.

Perkins raised his hands and vaguely heard the referee's whistle.

With 10 minutes left in the second quarter, Perkins received his third foul.

Brooks stood where he was, with a lot in his chest.

Keeping Perkins is the safest choice, however, his foul count.
It's deadly!
Li Xing dunked the ball, hanging on the basket like a naughty gorilla.

If it weren't for the referee's warning, he might hang up for a while longer.

Durant and Harden walked towards Perkins together, comforting him softly.

"It's hard for you to get to this point."

Li Xing twisted his neck: "It really shouldn't be underestimated at all, you guys."

What kind of person can say these words in a frivolous tone with a funeral face?
Is this something normal people can do?
In order to maintain the character design, Li Xing also worked hard.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle heralded the Thunder's substitution.

No matter how stubborn Brooks is, he also knows that Perkins cannot be dismissed.

For the second half, he must now replace Perkins and replace Westbrook, who has not calmed down.

The replacement for Perkins is Cole Aldridge.

After handing over to his teammates, guilt appeared for the first time on Perkins' unchanging face.

"Sorry, Coach, I'm sorry," Perkins said.

"You did nothing wrong, you did a great job."

Brooks could only pour a few bowls of chicken soup to relieve the heartbroken Perkins: "Believe me, no one can defend better than you. You can go and see Lucky's hit rate just now. Your defense is excellent. !"

Perkins nodded.

Brooks went on to say: "I will send you out later, you have to be prepared, we will definitely bring the game back to Oklahoma!"

It was Li Xing's plan to knock Perkins off the field, and it was a surprise that the third young master returned to his position.

Although the three young masters were hyped loudly, Westbrook was a ticking time bomb.

With his performance in the first quarter, Li Xing is really looking forward to how he disrupts the team's chemistry.

However, if Westbrook can really settle down to hand over the command and be a flank assaulter with peace of mind, then the Thunder's three young masters will be a combination of 1+1+1>3.

Li Xing made an extra penalty.

Harden dribbled the ball across the half, and Westbrook's determination can be seen from the positioning of the positional battle.

Not good.

Li Xing saw Westbrook standing obediently in the bottom corner, Durant was on his favorite left wing, and Harden was on the right wing preparing to attack.

Aldridge ran out, and he blocked Harden's side.

Then, Harden broke through in the opposite direction of the pick-and-roll.

DeRozan's feet are fast, but he can't keep up with Harden's rhythm.

He was able to keep up with his steps, but there were problems in the follow-up.

Harden has a certain pace, jumps into the air and shoots.

hit.

This is a skill that DeRozan dreamed of, but Harden has already practiced it with proficiency.

When the Thunder's three minorities work together, the pressure on the defensive end is no worse than that on the offensive end.

Mark is a grade worse than Stephenson. He wants to attack and create space for the team, but his current ability is limited and it is difficult to break out of the gap.

The basketball passed around the outside line, they found it regrettable.

The only person who can control the ball is Li Xing.

Compared to the three young monsters of the Thunder team, they only had one Li Xing.

There are advantages and disadvantages of a single offensive starting point, it is easy to target, it can clearly define the target of double-teaming, and at the same time, it also allows teammates to define the core.

They only have one starting point, so it is right to give him the ball.

With Li Xing's ability, he can calmly deal with the Thunder's targeted defense and create opportunities for his teammates at the same time.

When he starts the offense, Ibaka catwalks behind him.

He naively thought that Li Xing hadn't noticed him.

Evans didn't even need to remind him. When Ibaka got out of the defensive position and was about to come up to attack, Li Xing hit the ground with a backhand and assisted Evans to score a slam dunk.

"Are you double-teaming for a joke?"

Li Xing sneered with a sullen face.

"What do you say?"

After Ibaka was dismantled, he couldn't hold back his face, grinning and yelling.

Li Xing turned around and ran away, he didn't have the time to accompany this guy to fight.
