Chapter 162 Battle against Westbrook 2
The first half ended in the contest between Ning Caichen and Westbrook, and finally the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

Ning Caichen has already benefited a lot from the short few minutes of contest.For the first time, he discovered the gap between himself and a superstar like Westbrook.

The impact that Westbrook brought to him was too strong, that is, he didn't feel this way when he faced Leonard and Harden.

Once in the locker room, Rivers began to summarize the first half.After Balabala made a big pass, he began to rearrange his tactics.Nor did he criticize the confrontation between Ning Caichen and Westbrook.Because, this kind of heads-up, as long as it doesn't affect the direction of the game, is allowed by default in the NBA.

Individual heads-up is what fans want to see most.Not only the fans like it, but also the team's bosses. Head-to-heads usually represent entertainment. If the fans like it, the attendance rate will be high.

Therefore, in the NBA, proper singles are encouraged.

"Ning, how do you feel? Can you still guard Westbrook?"

"No problem, I can restrict him a little bit, but I certainly can't completely restrict him to death. Oh, by the way, Paul, what skills do you have in defending him? Why were you able to defend him so well at the beginning?" At the beginning When Paul defended against Westbrook, Westbrook suffered a lot.

"Experience. Believe me, experience on the court is as important as your skills. Don't worry, your defense is good enough. If you know him a little more, I believe you will do better."

experience.Ning Caichen still has too little experience. Although his skills have data and energy for coaching and training, the experience on the court requires him to experience bit by bit and then absorb it.You can only experience and accumulate by yourself, and others can't help you at all.

As soon as they played in the third quarter, the overall momentum of the Clippers was slightly better than in the first half. They just adjusted their tactics.

The Thunder also made adjustments to their lineup and tactics based on their performance in the first half, but the core tactics remained the same, with Westbrook as the main firepower.

Once on the court, the players on both sides stood in their own positions. Whether it was the movement of the players or the defensive strategy, the Clippers had made great changes.As for the Thunder, they couldn't see any difference from the first half.

Westbrook clearly felt the difference in the Clippers, and he knew that the real challenge was coming.

The Clippers' defense is clearly on the rise. Just as Westbrook crossed the center line, the Clippers' defensive line quickly retracted, which forced Westbrook to stop his plan to attack.

To put it simply, Westbrook is now facing the four giants alone. When the four giants unite to the outside world, no matter how strong Westbrook's personal singles ability is, he will always end up being ravaged.

Seeing the formation of the Clippers, Westbrook wisely chose to pass the ball.

Ning Caichen closely followed Westbrook's pace and tried not to let him score.

Under the enhanced defense of the Clippers, the Thunder made repeated mistakes, which were converted into offenses by the Clippers. In the end, the Clippers scored 8 points in a row and were stopped directly.

The Clippers once again opened up the score, and this time the Clippers are no longer prepared to give the Thunder a chance.

Rivers emphasized that the score line must be opened and the three-pointer should be shot directly.

Back from the timeout, after Westbrook succeeded with a fast break, Ning Caichen took off Paul's trap and raised his hand to make another three-pointer.Immediately afterwards, Paul scored another three-pointer after getting an open space.

Seeing that the score was slowly opened, Westbrook's face became more and more ugly, and he stopped passing the ball and prepared to go it alone.

"It's coming again!"

Looking at Westbrook who was on the verge of going berserk, Ning Caichen quickly put on a defensive posture, opened his hands slightly, and watched Westbrook's every move.

Unexpectedly, Westbrook raised his hand one meter away from Ning Caichen and it was a three-pointer.

"Shua!!" A super long three-pointer hit! !

Ning Caichen looked at Westbrook dumbfounded.I'm going, can I follow the routine?Why did he start shooting three-pointers all of a sudden?
"The first ball!!" Westbrook gave Ning Caichen a cold look and said.

"What do you mean? Do you want a second ball?" Ning Caichen didn't like being threatened.

Ning Caichen took the pass and dribbled the ball forward quickly.

"The first ball, then you should also look at my second ball." Ning Caichen whispered and already came beyond the three-point line.

Westbrook didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he hurriedly followed.

Ning Caichen ignored Westbrook's direct defense and did not evade. He scored a three-pointer head-on.

It was half a meter away from the three-point line, and it was shot under the interference of Westbrook's block.

It feels good, and the posture is right, but... "Dang!!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame.Sure enough, avoiding the defensive players has a higher shooting rate! !
Embarrassment, capitalized embarrassment.Fortunately, I was not heard when I said it just now, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Ning Caichen retreated quickly.

The corners of Westbrook's mouth twitched slightly, pushing the basketball forward quickly without slowing down, and passed Paul directly.

"Damn it!!" Ning Caichen secretly yelled that it was not good, he should have made it up in time just now.

When Ning Caichen made up his defense, Westbrook made another open three-pointer.

"brush!!!"

The three-pointer hit again! ! !
Westbrook rarely proudly raised two fingers and shook Ning Caichen, indicating that this is the second three-pointer.

Ning Caichen's face turned ugly, this naked provocation is unforgivable!
"Oh!! Westbrook practiced two three-pointers and made Ning angry!!" The commentator on the sidelines said excitedly, wanting to arouse the anger of the two again so that they could fight alone.

Paul couldn't help smiling when he saw it, Westbrook had offended Ning Caichen this time.Ning Caichen went crazy, and his fighting power increased exponentially.

"Paul, give me the pick-and-roll." Paul didn't say much, and quickly ran across the half court.

Although Ning Caichen was not happy with Westbrook's provocation, he knew that under Westbrook's frontal defense, it would be difficult for him to make three-pointers. If he wanted to improve his shooting rate, he could only rely on his teammates to assist.

Ning Caichen dribbled the ball quickly, and when he was about to step into the interior of the three-point line, Paul suddenly ran over and blocked Ning Caichen.

Westbrook was startled, and the blocking route was blocked.

Ning Caichen retracted his feet at the same time that Paul was determined in the first battle, and jumped up with all his strength, and the basketball in his hand flew out with the rise of his body.

"Shh!"

Accurate three-pointers!

At the same time, Ning Caichen was thrown to the ground by the chasing defender.

Ning Caichen thought it would be a 3+1, and clenched his fists excitedly, but he didn't wait for the whistle.

Seeing that the referee refused to let him go, Ning Caichen had no choice but to return to defense quickly.

Ning Caichen looked at Westbrook in front of him and also stretched out two fingers. This was his counterattack.

However, Westbrook did not take Ning Caichen's threat seriously.He has only one goal now, and that is to score, score, score...

Then, I saw Ning Caichen being forced by Westbrook consecutively. Although Ning Caichen had already blocked his eyes, Westbrook just put the ball into the basket.

Westbrook suddenly felt bloodshot, both his speed and strength soared several points in an instant.Ning Caichen was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Westbrook's next performance was even more desperate. Whether it was Ning Caichen's personal defense or double-teaming with Paul, Westbrook just squeezed the space between the two and got through.

In 5 minutes, the Clippers' extremely powerful defense was completely riddled by Westbrook, and Westbrook scored 4 goals in a row by himself.

Seeing that the game was pulled back by Westbrook's unreasonable offense again, Rivers was forced to call a timeout.

Rivers was very dissatisfied with their performance. Seeing these stateless players, Rivers didn't know where to start scolding.Except for Ning Caichen, even Paul's condition is not very good.

"Could you all cheer me up? If this continues, we won't win the game. Wake up and get me back to my form quickly..." Rivers shouted as he looked at the crowd.

Seeing that his teammates were completely out of shape, Ning Caichen had no choice.Ning Caichen had no choice but to get the players from Paul, and formed a double point guard with Crawford.

"Ning, give me a show later, I only got 4 points so far!" Crawford patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder and said.

"Ha! Okay, you can grasp it yourself!!" Unexpectedly, Crawford was quite excited.

Ning Caichen and Crawford are the best acting partners.When they saw the two playing at the same time, the fans on the scene suddenly screamed.The wonderful expressions of the two are still vivid in my memory, and I am very much looking forward to their joint performance again.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular!!" Ning Caichen teased Crawford with a basketball.

"That is!!"

Seeing the excitement of the audience, Ning Caichen began to dribble a little more gracefully, and the basketball was like a toy in his hands.

The fans screamed again after seeing each other.

"Oh, the score is very close now. Do you want to start performing now? I like it!!" The commentator looked excitedly at Ning Caichen's dribble.

Westbrook propped his hands on his knees, watching Ning Caichen expressionlessly.

If you think that Ning Caichen's current style of movement is playing, you are very wrong. Ning Caichen is just letting his body transform into a completely relaxed state, but it does not mean that the ball in his hand is unstable.

Westbrook was fooled, thinking that Ning Caichen's current behavior was insulting him.When Ning Caichen approached the three-point line, he stretched out his hand, trying to shoot Ning Caichen's careless dribble out of bounds.

"Hmm! What happened!" Westbrook reacted immediately after reaching out and emptying out.

And the basketball in Ning Caichen's hand has already flown from behind him and flew towards Crawford on the left.

Crawford jumped up quickly. After receiving the ball from the air, he took a jump and staggered the inside line. Then he pulled the basketball in his hand, switched to his right hand, and pushed the ball to the backboard with his pace.

A beautiful batting goal.

The fans stood up excitedly and applauded desperately for the wonderful performance just now.

In the replay, Ning Caichen avoided Westbrook's steal, and then he threw the basketball from behind, followed by a series of understated handsome layups by Crawford.
