Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 208

The timeout ended, and the Thunder strengthened their defense against Tyreke. Tyreke was bound to be double-teamed when he took the ball. At this time, the game only lasted for a few minutes, which was enough to see that Tyreke's consecutive scoring at the beginning brought the Thunder a deterrence.

"The team played a dream start of 10 to 0. After the Thunder team suspended for three consecutive rounds, as long as Tyreke got the ball, in addition to Sefolosha who was facing up, one of Westbrook and Durant must step forward. Flanking, this greatly reduces Tyreke's shot space, and it is extremely difficult to break through the double team... But it also creates opportunities for other teammates, it depends on whether they can grasp it!"

At this time, the situation of the two teams on the field is just like what Napier said. Tyreke's state at the beginning made the Thunder extremely afraid. At this time, they would rather miss someone in the defense than let Tyreke complete the shot easily. !

The Thunder also gradually found their rhythm in the offense. Durant scored the Thunder's first goal of the game with a beautiful jumper. After scoring the first goal, the Thunder got rid of the passive opening The situation began to be tit-for-tat with the Kings.

Tyreek is facing the tightest defense, and the Kings want to continue to maintain the lead. Others must seize the opportunity at this time!

In the last two games, Tyreke played well, while the others did not show their strength. However, in this game, all members of the Kings finally gave Tyreke the greatest support at home. What came out was Francisco Garcia, the first starter in the playoffs!
It is now the seventh year since Garcia was selected by the Kings in the 05-06 season, but it is only his second playoff experience. In his rookie season, Garcia entered the playoffs with the team. However, the average playing time is only 7 minutes per game, that is, to experience the atmosphere of the next playoffs. It can be said that this year is his first playoffs in the true sense.In his 6.8-year professional career, Garcia has never been a stable starter, but the diligent Garcia has always had a place in the team that was in a turbulent period in those years. Whether it is a starter or a substitute, as long as Garcia plays Do your best.

Tyreke holds the ball in the front court, Durant pinches from the left side, Tyreke quickly gives it to Garcia, Durant quickly turns back to defend, Garcia raises his hand and makes a three-pointer!
Bullet frame missed!Cousins ​​grabbed the offensive rebound, and there was no room for a shot under the basket. Cousins ​​took a step towards the middle and then gave the ball out.Entered this time!

Then Garcia ran back to the basket again, and then received Tyreke's ground pass and succeeded in a backhand layup under the cover of West!

"Francisco scored two goals in a row! There is no chance for the Thunder to narrow the gap. Today is Francisco's first playoff start. It seems that he grasped this opportunity very well! As the team with the longest playing time The long one, although Francisco has never been a star, but if he can continue this plug-and-play performance, I believe that the 31-year-old Francisco can win a satisfactory contract extension for himself next season..."

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led the Thunder by 31 points 22 to 9 at home. Tyreke scored 14 points alone, and Garcia scored the second-highest 7 points in the team. Two more points will tie the game At present, Garcia's own playoffs has the highest score in a single game, and this has only passed one quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder still insisted on the strategy of flanking Tyreke, but today's Kings team is indeed a new look compared with the previous two games. It is not just Garcia, who averaged only 13.5 points per game in the first two games of the series. 10 Cousins ​​​​of the board also regained his form at home.The slump of Cousins ​​at this point had a huge impact on the Kings in the first two games. There was only Tyreke on the outside to hold the ball, and Tyreke was marked to death. The Kings are really no threat.

With the full recovery of the Kings at home, the Thunder's strategy of double-teaming Tyreke was completely bankrupt. The Thunder were unable to catch up with the score. After calling a timeout again, the Thunder changed their defensive strategy and could no longer easily get open for others. The opportunity to shoot changed from double-teaming against Tyreke to man-to-man.

The Thunder's goal at this time is very clear. They can score by themselves. With Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, they don't have to worry about scoring. What they have to do now is to catch up with the score and score more points than the Kings!
Since the Kings are in full swing today, the Thunder began to defend against Tyreke alone, and no longer give anyone else a chance. Let Tyreke play if he can. The Thunder team shot dead, and the Thunder team also recognized it!

But the Thunder obviously miscalculated again. Sometimes the feeling comes and it really can't stop it...

Seven minutes into the second quarter, the Kings led the Thunder by 7 points 47 to 39. The Kings lineup was Tyreke, Morrow, Garcia, Faried, and Cousins. The Thunder lineup was Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Nick Collison, Cole Aldridge.

Tyreke holds the ball in the frontcourt, and Westbrook is facing him. At this time, all three of the Thunder are on the court. The Thunder play is offense and personal ability.However, Westbrook is not a soft-hearted person. Although his defense is not top-notch, his enthusiasm is absolutely top-notch. In addition to facing Tyreke, Westbrook naturally raised his attention with 120 points.

"Tyreke! You've scored enough points today, but that's it!" Westbrook yelled at Tyreke.

Tyreke naturally ignored it. It was not the first time that Westbrook said harsh words to him, and it basically never came true. And today Tyreke felt that he could make a move. This hot feeling is too strong!
Facing Westbrook, Tyreke only made a crotch dribble and then directly pulled out the shot. This is not Tyreke's usual offensive method. Westbrook was caught off guard, and the moment Tyreke shot, It is clear in my heart that I have this ball!
"Tyreke's sudden dry pull...in! It's beautiful! It's a pity that he stepped on the line a little bit, which can only be counted as a two-point gain..."

Then Tyreke dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Just after halftime, Tyreke noticed that Westbrook was a bit behind. He had retreated to the three-point line. Tyreke dribbled to the three There is still a little distance outside the line to make an emergency stop and shoot a three-pointer!

"Tyreke dribbled the ball in the front court and suddenly accelerated. Did he want to break through the defense? He shot it! Tyreke made an emergency stop and shot a three-pointer! This is not Tyreke's usual style of play at all... Go in! Go in again! Tyreke Rick was right today!!!”

Watching the ball go into the net, the corner of Tyreke's mouth raised a confident arc. This feeling is irresistible...
