Chapter 207

"Dear audience, today the team has returned to the Sleep Train Arena, where we will usher in the third game of the Western Conference Semifinals with the team. I am the live commentator Grant Napier, and this is my partner. Jerry Reiz. Jerry, the team suffered two consecutive losses before this, what do you think about this game?"

"In Oklahoma, we lost both games. The current situation of the entire series is in a disadvantageous position for us, but this is not the end. After all, it is the home court of the Thunder. Annoyed. But we can’t be too optimistic. After all, in Oklahoma we lost a total of 43 points in the two games. It can be seen that the overall strength of the Thunder team is strong. But in the second game, because of Tyreke’s performance, we The gap with the Thunder is not as big as the first game, which also gives us hope, as long as we calm down and play our own style, it is not impossible to beat the Thunder at home!"

"That's right! Jerry is right! We will definitely beat the Thunder at home and bring them back to the same starting line! Okay, now let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides, the Thunder's starting lineup and the previous one. The two games were the same, but coach Westphal made some adjustments to the starting lineup after returning to the home court. Caron Butler, who performed poorly in the first two games, was put on the bench. Garcia got the chance to start, Jerry, what do you think about this personnel adjustment?"

"In the previous two games, Caron Butler averaged 29 minutes per game, scored 9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 34.5%. At the same time, he was completely unable to guard Durant in defense. His performance is obviously sorry for his starting position, and it is reasonable to win Caron. Caron suffered a serious injury last season. Although he failed to recover his previous strength at the beginning of the season, he was worthy of his worth. After the illness, Caron's performance on the court declined again. After returning from injury, his performance was ups and downs, which was always unconvincing. Although Francisco's performance was not outstanding, his defense in the last two games was obviously better than Ca Long is better. But now the king's flank is obviously a little thin. The contracts of Caron, Francisco and Omi are all in the last year of next season. Jeff Pate, who just won the best manager award for the third time in his career Li should consider future contract renewal and reinforcements.”

The two sides were in position on the field, and the game was about to start. Tyreke on the field looked at An Jiali, who was watching the game from the sidelines. At this time, An Jiali also looked at him affectionately. An Jiali made a gesture, for all the fans who supported the Kings, in order not to disappoint An Jiali, Tyreke vowed to show the best performance and win back at home!
The jump ball game between the two sides has officially begun!
The Thunder got the ball first, Durant gave it to Westbrook, Westbrook unhurriedly dribbled the ball to the front court to direct his teammates to move, facing Jimmy, Westbrook gave it to Sefolosha, and then The running position received Sefolosha's hand-off pass, and a horizontal drift jumper shot within the three-point line!
The game had just started, and Westbrook also tried his shooting touch first. The shot was obviously a bit short, and the ball bounced out of the frame and was confiscated by West.

West passed the ball to Tyreke, Tyreke tried to play a quick counterattack, but Sefolosha and Durant quickly returned to the defense, and before Tyreke played a fast break, they had already fallen into position and blocked Tyreke's breakthrough route was blocked, and Tyreke had to control the ball near the center line, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

"The Thunder's lineup is very tacit. It can be seen from some details. When the Thunder takes a shot, Durant and Sefolosha are responsible for retreating, while Westbrook and Ibaka are responsible for rushing to attack. With rebounds, both offense and defense, and a clear idea of ​​how to play, the Thunder have both talent and know how to make good use of it. They are indeed a well-established championship team," Reyz said in the commentary.

The overall talent of the Thunder is indeed better than that of the Kings, and their main frame has been better than that of the Kings, but Tyreke, who is holding the ball on the field, doesn't think about it at this time. All he thinks about today is to win this game. From the first ball, you have to tense your nerves and go all out.

Facing Tyreek was Sefolosha. Although Tyreke averaged 34.5 points per game in the first two games of the series, Sefolosha's defense made Tyreke feel uncomfortable all the time, and his offensive efficiency was not high. .After the first two matchups, the two have become more and more familiar with each other's offense and defense. Sefolosha knows that Tyreke's breakthrough is very powerful. Once he is passed, the possibility of losing points is very high, and Tyreke For medium and long distance shots, as long as he interferes a little bit, his shooting rate will definitely be affected, so his defensive positions are relatively inward.

Tyreke took a deep breath, and suddenly started to break through to Sefolosha's right side. Sefolosha naturally tried to defend with all his strength, but Tyreke suddenly pulled the ball back, closing the distance between the two. Pull away again, stand outside the three-point line, aim at the basket, and shoot a three-point jumper!

"Tyreke shot the team's first goal in this game, which is actually the three-pointer he is least good at! Go in!!! Tyreke made 16 three-pointers in the first two games, Hit 5 goals, 4 of 1 shots in the first game, 12 of 4 shots in the second game, the shooting rate is really not high, but today I hit a three-pointer for the first time! It seems that today I feel very hot!"

As the ball entered the net, Tyreke stretched out three fingers and swiped it across his chest. He immediately turned back to defend and looked at his palm. At this time, he was sure that he must let go of the shot tonight and shoot through it. That damn basket!

In the next attack, Tyreke winked at Jimmy who was on the side. Jimmy knew how to cross and run with Tyreke. The moment he pulled out the gap, Tyreke made another three-point shot!

"Tyreke made another three-pointer!!! He scored again! Tyreke scored two three-pointers in a row!!!"

"Beautiful!" Jimmy and Tyreke high-fived each other during the retreat.

As Tyreke scored two three-pointers in a row, Sefolosha panicked a little. Today Tyreke's touch was indeed very hot, and it was obvious that he could no longer continue the defensive position of the main defense breakthrough, but immediately Tyreke Taking advantage of Sefolosha's closeness to him, he passed Sefolosha with a flexible turn, and then completed the attack with a light step layup!

The audience rejoices!

Tyreke scored three goals in a row, including two beautiful opening three-pointers that caught the Thunder off guard. Tyreke scored 8 points in a row, and Cousins ​​made a two-pointer at the basket. The Kings opened a wave of 10 points. 0!The Thunder called a timeout in a panic. They had a vague premonition that Tyreke, who once scored 61 points, appeared!
