Legendary basketball manager

Rocket attack.

Curry passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Yi Jianlian quickly stepped up and set up a pick-and-roll for him.

After the pick-and-roll, Curry broke through to the inside, while Ah Lian bounced outside the three-point line.

Although Ibaka knew that Yi Jianlian was good at shooting, he subconsciously chose to help Westbrook defend when Curry broke through.

Curry noticed this keenly, and suddenly made a behind-the-back pass during the march and handed the ball to Yi Jianlian on the outside.

"woo~"

The scene immediately marveled at Mengshen's wonderful pass.

After the ball, Ah Lian stretched his bow and shot an arrow and made a three-pointer.

Basketball draws a beautiful arc...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 90:88, the Rockets were only two points behind.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Harden rushed to the basket and made Yi Jianlian's foul.

After making two free throws, the score became 92:88.

Rocket attack.

Curry repeated his old trick, once again playing a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian outside the three-point line.

This time Ibaka did not dare to be careless, and always followed Yi Jianlian.

But it also gave Curry a chance to break through.

The Rockets got rid of Cook's defense on the 30th and accelerated to the basket.

Thunder substitute center Collison arrived late and returned to the three-second zone to protect the frame.

But Curry's lob just passed his fingertips, and the ball hit the backboard and fell into the net.

At 92:90, the two sides are still inseparable.

The time came to the last minute of the third quarter.

Harden used a breakthrough to attract the Rockets' defensive attention, and then distributed the ball to Cook in the bottom corner.

The latter made a decisive move.

Bingo!

95: 90.

Curry walked to the baseline, and as he prepared to catch the ball, he glanced up at the timer -- 3 seconds to go in the third quarter.

[You can grab one! ]

Curry thought to himself.

With this in mind, he accelerated after receiving Yi Jianlian's serve.

After coming to the Thunder halftime, Curry found that Cook, who was defending him, was waiting two meters from the three-point line.

The next moment, Mengshen received the ball without hesitation, and shot a three-pointer in the logo area!

Cook was shocked, but it was impossible to remedy it at this time.

The basketball arced through the air in a rainbow-like arc, and after flying for about a century...  

Hollow into the network!

The ball turned the Nets upside down, and the entire arena fell into silence for a short time.

It wasn't until the fans reacted that the scene turned into a sea of ​​joy.

"OMG! Skyfucker (Ku Ritian)!!!"

"How dare he... This is a critical moment in the second round of the playoffs. What kind of confidence and big heart is it to dare to shoot such a super long three-pointer at this moment?!"

"Look at Cook, he is still standing there stupidly. I'm afraid he didn't expect Curry to make such a 'sloppy' shot, haha."

"Cook himself is also a very good shooter, but he is only accurate in the conventional sense, and Curry is a 'perverted' accurate!"

......

Rockets fans are full of praise for Curry every word you say.

With this ultra-long three-pointer, the Rockets also narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

And this attack only took 7 seconds, 31 seconds before the end of the third quarter.

In other words, after the Thunder finish the offensive round, the Rockets still have the last chance to attack!

Harden frowned slightly as he looked at Curry, who was celebrating with his hands pointing at the sky not far away.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that this fair-looking super shooter might become his old enemy in the future.

But now is not the time to dream.

Harden immediately restrained his mind and came to the bottom line to catch the ball.

After dribbling the ball across half court, he lowered his center of gravity and quietly waited for the shot clock to pass.

When there were only 24 seconds left in the 6-second attack time, Harden moved!

He approached George's defense with continuous crotch dribbles,

Every time the crotch changes hands and dribbles, it is accompanied by a fake action of shaking the shoulders.

This made George dare not act rashly, and could only move in small steps, ready to react at any time.

With 3 seconds left, Harden suddenly changed his rhythm.

He stepped on the ground with both feet at the same time, and accelerated to the left.

George quickly moved sideways, trying to block Harden's way.

But Harden's explosive power is extremely strong (many people underestimated the speed of his first step because of his size), and he thrust his shoulders forward and successfully pressed George by half.

This directly caused Pickled Pepper to fall into a passive state.

Because in a high-level game, once a defensive player is pressed, it is basically difficult to return to the defensive position.

But George did not give up, but moved laterally with all his strength, wanting to make amends.

Unexpectedly, Harden's right shoulder suddenly leaned forward and gently pressed against George's chest.

The next moment, Pickled Pepper flew backwards, while Harden dribbled the ball back and pulled back, and took a step back, retreating directly outside the three-point line!

George fell to the ground, very embarrassed.

AnkleBreaker (ankle terminator)!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

George is a defensive player, and he will be knocked to the ground by the Thunder's young sixth man? !

This is beyond everyone's expectations.

Harden glanced at George indifferently, adjusted his rhythm, and then shot slowly.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 98:93, the point difference returned to 5 points again.

In this attack, Harden successfully consumed 23 seconds of attack time, leaving only 8 seconds for the Rockets.

George quickly got up from the ground, his face a little ugly.

Curry saw it.

Offensive and defensive transition, he passed the ball to George after passing the half court with the ball, and let him take the final attack!

Facing Sefolosha's defense, George first dribbled the ball under his crotch with an in&out feint with one hand, shaking the former back a step.

Then, Pickled Pepper mobilized all the functions of the whole body, and a left-handed Crossover came!

Sefolosha was completely shaken away.

George made a sideways move and shot a fadeaway jumper...

"Shu~"

The goal light is on, and the score is fixed at 98:95!

After scoring the goal, George shook his fist.

Anyway, at least he responded!

............

During the intermission, Shen Fei and Stern chatted.

"The three young men of Lei Ting are really surprising."

"Especially this Harden, I thought his talent was not as good as Kevin and Russell, but looking at it today, it's not necessarily true."

Stern said with a sigh.

"Well, he scored 25 points in three quarters, which is the highest score of the Thunder so far."

"A second-year rookie can play such a performance, which is already extraordinary. It can be said that Harden alone supported the Thunder's bench lineup."

Shen Fei did not hesitate to praise Harden.

"He and Curry can be regarded as the unexpected joy of the 09 draft. Although they were both selected very high, when the Thunder and the Warriors selected them, they received a lot of criticism."

Stern recalled.

Both Curry and Harden are not good at physical talent, so it is naturally controversial to become a high-ranking rookie.

But now, they have shown their talents in high-level competitions!

"You said... put these two in the same team, will there be a wonderful chemical reaction?"

Shen Fei asked with a smile.

"Oh? You want to trade Harden? But he's playing so well now, it's impossible for the Thunder to let him go?"

Stern asked back.

"It's impossible to say."

Shen Fei said meaningfully.

Stern looked puzzled, hoping to continue to hear the explanation, but Shen Fei didn't say anything, but turned his eyes to the court again.

............

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder directly put out the strongest lineup - Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins.

Obviously, seeing the chance of winning, they decided to give it their all!

But the Rockets still carry out the rotation of the lineup step by step.

Jeremy Lin, McGrady, Danny Green, Ben Wallace, Greg Oden.

This lineup has both offense and defense, and its strength on paper is not inferior in the slightest!

The game restarts.

Rocket attack.

Jeremy Lin passed Westbrook with the help of a screen, and then used a jump to wipe out Ibaka who was defending on the move.

Ibaka did not give up, and continued to follow behind Shuhao, preparing to put on the chasing hat.

Unexpectedly, Brother Hao flicked his wrist and passed the ball into the air.

The next moment, Oden came out and caught the basketball in the air...

"BANG!"

An O'Neill-style two-handed violent abuse of the basket sounded the clarion call for the Rockets' counterattack!

98: 97.

The Rockets trailed by only one point.

In the offensive and defensive transition, Danny Green pressed Durant closely.

Westbrook forced a pass, but Green took the lead and destroyed the ball.

McGrady reacted the fastest, quickly controlled the ball, and then launched a counterattack.

Harden rushed over decisively, trying to destroy the Rockets' fast break with a tactical foul.

But T-MAC will not give him such a chance.

With a dribble behind the back, McGrady avoided Harden's black hands neatly and continued to move forward.

Near the penalty area, T-MAC found that the Thunder's last line of defense-Durant stood forward.

A bold idea appeared in Maddie's mind.

The next moment, he tossed the ball to the backboard.

Durant didn't know why, and his eyes were attracted by basketball.

Then, he saw an elegant man in white clothes appearing in the air...

"BANG!"

Tracy, the white horse spear, grabbed the rebounding basketball and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

98: 99.

The Rockets overtook the score!

And this self-throwing of McGrady's signature also brought the atmosphere of the scene to its peak.

The fans first chanted MVP, and then when the Thunder attacked, they chanted a uniform slogan:

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

......

Amidst the deafening noise, Westbrook came up!

He single-handedly broke into the Rockets penalty area, facing Ben Wallace's defense, and forced a dunk.

Westbrook knows that if he can complete the dunk on Ben's head, the momentum will return to the Thunder.

Therefore, he chose to believe in his talent, and went on without hesitation!

result...

"Oh!"

With a crisp sound, Ben Wallace's big hand accurately pressed on the basketball.

The next moment, Westbrook felt a huge force hitting him through the basketball, and then lost his center of gravity...

Big Ben even dribbled Westbrook with the ball and fell to the ground directly!

The tortoise fell heavily to the ground.

But even so, he still hugged the basketball tightly.

Ben Wallace was unforgiving, and stretched out a pair of big hands like iron tongs towards Westbrook.

Westbrook reacted quickly and immediately threw the ball.

Oden reached out to block, but accidentally patted the ball in front of Durant.

KD got the ball back and then made a three-pointer on the spot...

Bingo!

101: 99.

This ball was like a muffler, making the Toyota Center instantly silent.

And after Westbrook saw the goal, a carp jumped up straight up, as if someone else had just hit the ground hard.

Seeing this, Su Qun couldn't help expressing emotion: "Luck seems to be on the Thunder's side today. The ball was almost defended, but the ball went in and out and went to Durant."

Yang Jian nodded: "This may be the god of basketball's reward for the young players like Thunder for their hard work. They really did the best they can today!"

............

In the following time, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

The two teams come and go, but the point difference has been maintained within one round.

As time passed by every minute and every second... The Rockets dispatched troops, while the Thunder went all the way to the black, killing five core players all the time.

Soon, the game entered the last 2 minutes.

The score at this time was 117:115, with the Thunder leading by two points.

In a defense, Perkins had a cramp and became the first person to "fall".

Thunder coach Brooks had no choice but to replace him with Collison.

At the same time, the physical condition of Durant and others reached the limit, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

At this stage of the game, the fight is all about willpower and star ability!

Rocket attack.

Yao Ming hit Collison in the low post and succeeded in a fadeaway jumper.

117 flats!

Offensive and defensive transition, Durant forced a shot against George...

Miss!

Griffin jumped high and took off the rebound.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!

During the fast break, McGrady drove straight to the basket, and was finally fouled by Ibaka.

T-MAC stood at the free throw line and made two free throws amid the cheers of the MVP.

117: 119.

The Rockets lead by two points!

There is 1 minute left in the game!

Brooks called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, the Rockets made substitution adjustments.

Ben Wallace replaced Yao Ming and Danny Green replaced Curry.

Mark Jackson's substitution intention is very clear, that is to strengthen the defense and defend the victory!

Harden serves.

Westbrook went out with the help of a screen and successfully caught the ball.

Eager for meritorious service, he made a sideways move, and the zombie made a jump shot...

Even if his physical fitness reaches the limit, Westbrook's jumping height is still quite impressive.

Danny Green struggled to take off, but failed to complete the block.

But he still interfered with Westbrook's line of sight, and the latter's shot went wide.

At the critical moment, Ibaka stepped forward.

He knew that it was difficult to get the rebound under the siege of Griffin and Ben Wallace, so he found another way and slapped the ball to the outside line.

The basketball was impartial, and it fell into the hands of Harden who had just walked into the court after serving the ball.

Brother Deng did not hesitate, and decisively shot a three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

120: 119!

The Thunder overtook the score again at the last moment.

Now, the pressure is on the Rockets' side!
