Legendary basketball manager

On the first attack after returning, Westbrook passed the ball to Durant.

After KD received the ball, he immediately encountered George's close defense.

After the two wrestled for a few seconds, the referee blew his whistle—George made a defensive foul.

"George's aggressiveness today has improved a lot compared to the previous game."

Yu Jia commented in a timely manner.

"That's the right thing to do. Durant is actually more afraid of this kind of defense, but George may get into foul trouble if he defends like this as soon as he comes up."

Yang Yi added.

Look back on the field.

Thunder sideline serve.

Sefolosha passed the ball to Westbrook, who watched the ball, looking for an opportunity to pass the ball to Durant.

But George's off-ball defense is very good, no matter how Durant moves, he doesn't get a good chance to catch the ball.

Seeing the attack time passing by second by second, Westbrook had no choice but to launch the attack himself.

He lowered his center of gravity, raised his hand with luck in his crotch, and approached McGrady.

McGrady implements the strategy of "letting go and not letting go" and has always kept a distance from Westbrook.

Turtle saw this, dribbled the ball one step inside the three-point line, and the zombie shot a jumper...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

8:2, the Thunder finally broke the deadlock.

McGrady's expression was calm, and he was not affected by Westbrook's goal at all.

In the combat meeting before the game, Mark Jackson once said that Westbrook's shooting ability is unstable, but letting him shoot will definitely lose some points.

This is allowed to lose points!

Rocket attack.

Yao Mai played well before, and now Curry has to make a move.

He and Griffin played a pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle on the left.

With the help of a screen, Curry successfully got rid of Westbrook's defense.

After hitting the basket, he faced Perkins' supplementary defense, hit the board with a freehand high throw, and sent the ball into the basket.

10: 2!

After changing sides to fight again, Durant got stuck in the low post and asked for the ball with his hands.

Westbrook passed the ball with a lob.

But at the same time, Curry resolutely gave up defending Sefolosha and rushed to help George defend.

The two formed a pincer attack on Durant.

KD couldn't play the ball, so he could only pass the ball out.

Sefolosha received the ball open and was ready to shoot immediately.

But the Rockets' defensive rotation was quick, and McGrady made three steps and two steps, and he had already arrived in front of him.

Sefolosha switched to a pass, trying to pass the ball to Westbrook.

Who knows, his passing intention was predicted by McGrady.

T-MAC made a horizontal move while advancing, intercepted the ball, and then rushed towards the Thunder half with the ball.

Sefolosha secretly thought something was wrong, so he ran after him.

But how can McGrady's speed and explosive power be compared to him!

After running a few steps, T-MAC completely threw Sefolosha away.

On the contrary, Westbrook on the other side of the court frantically chased back, and actually caught up with McGrady.

T-MAC noticed Westbrook on the right from the corner of his eye.

In the blink of an eye, he made an offensive choice - fuck him!

Ever since, following the duel with Ibaka's talent, McGrady once again competed with another genius of the Thunder.

This time, both of them took off on one foot after the run-up, which was an absolute duel of speed and strength.

As the saying goes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road; when two braves compete, the strong wins!

McGrady jumped up on the spot as if his feet were on a spring, and he jumped to the height of the basket above his head.

But Westbrook jumped up, but his outstretched hand only hit McGrady's forearm.

"Beep!"

"boom!!!"

When the referee's whistle sounded, McGrady dunked the ball hard.

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

McGrady walked to the free throw line, and he was naturally greeted with boos resounding from the audience.

But at the same time, sporadic fans wearing red jerseys in the stands stood up and cheered for T-MAC.

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei in the box also smiled knowingly.

"These buddies are real warriors."

Sun Yue sighed.

"The game is over, I asked the assistants to send a season ticket to each of them."

Shen Fei smiled.

McGrady took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and made a steady hit with the penalty.

13:2, the Rockets' lead has reached double digits.

Seeing that the team fell into a huge passivity, Durant knew he needed to stand up.

Because it was difficult for George to catch the ball before, he simply dribbled the ball up from the backcourt this time.

Seeing this, George ran directly to the logo area, waiting for Durant's arrival.

After all, KD is nearly two meters tall, and facing the outside line is a headache.

Therefore, he could only turn his back, and while using his body to separate the ball from George, he called his teammates to come forward for a pick-and-roll.

Ibaka quickly stepped up and helped Durant block George.

KD successfully got rid of it, but it was very easy to meet Griffin's supplementary defense.

But Griffin's defensive ability is naturally not comparable to George's.

Durant passed it easily with a large left hand Crossover.

In an instant, the Rockets' defense was torn apart by KD.

Facing the open space in front of him, Durant raised fire to the sky with his right hand, and headed towards the restricted area.

Yao Ming wanted to return to the defense, but just as he moved, he found himself stuck in position by Perkins.

"BANG!"

13: 4.

Durant used a Thor's Hammer to revive the energy arena that had been silent for a long time!

During the Rockets' offensive round, all Thunder fans stood up and cheered for the team in unison:

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

......

There was a deafening sound, as if the roof of the arena was about to be torn down in the next moment.

The two CCTV hosts who broadcast the live broadcast lamented that these fans are the Thunder's sixth man!

Just when people thought that the Thunder was going to take advantage of Durant's dunk, McGrady made another unreasonable shot after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line...

"Shu~"

......

......

After the goal was scored, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

A fan who was shouting loudly a moment ago opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't make any sound.

T-MAC's three-pointer directly silenced the Energy Arena!

16:4, the point difference widened again.

In the next few minutes, the two teams returned to balance, and the point difference remained at around 10 points.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the score came to 30:20.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, the coaches of both sides dispatched troops in unison.

On the Thunder's side, all three players except Ibaka and Sefolosha rested, and Harden came on with two substitutes.

Their lineup is: Harden, Cook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, Collison.

On the Rockets side, they boldly went up and down, and the lineup became: Jeremy Lin, Roy, Danny Green, Yi Jianlian, and Ben Wallace.

Shen Fei in the box saw the formation of troops on both sides, and said: "Thunder's flank reserves are really bad. Except for Durant, they can't even find a serious striker with a height of two meters."

Sun Yue was a little puzzled after hearing this: "Durant can basically play more than 40 minutes in a game, and Sefolosha can also cover the time for a while, should it be enough?"

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

During this 11-year period, people's awareness of the importance of wing players is obviously insufficient.

Even if there are top small forwards like James and Durant, everyone is still more inclined to win the world on the inside, and thinks that it is the most important to have a big center on the inside.

But Shen Fei, as a traverser, knows very well that the basketball rhythm in the future will be faster, and the requirements for mobility and overall height will be very high.

A team with a luxurious striker group is very popular!

However, Shen Fei didn't want to explain too much to Sun Yue now.

Looking at the inside line composed of Yi Jianlian and Ben Wallace, the corners of Shen Fei's mouth could not help but slightly rise: "There will be a good show soon."

Sun Yue's eyes widened curiously.

"You'll know right away."

Shen Fei said lightly.

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

The game restarted and the Thunder attacked.

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

The Rockets sent Danny Green to defend.

Green's lateral speed is not top-notch, but he has excellent defensive awareness.

Harden made several fake moves, but failed to fool him.

In desperation, Brother Deng had no choice but to raise his hand, signaling the inside line to come forward to cover.

Ibaka rushed to the horse and set up a pick-and-roll for Harden.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Harden successfully shook off Danny Green, and then accelerated towards the penalty area.

Facing Yi Jianlian who was making up defense, Harden took three steps directly.

Obviously, he didn't feel that this power forward from China could pose any threat to him.

But when Harden was really ready to make a shot, he suddenly discovered that Yi Jianlian not only kept up with his pace, but also jumped to the high point with extremely fast bounce speed!

The current situation is... If Harden does not change his tactics, he will not be able to escape the hot pot meal!

In the blink of an eye, Harden turned slightly sideways in the air, leaned against Yi Jianlian with his body, and then threw the ball to the basket with his right hand...

In this way, it is indeed to avoid being taken, but the basketball thrown is a bit far-fetched.

After the ball hit the backboard, it flew directly "over the bridge" to the other side without even touching the basket.

Big Ben on the other side jumped high and took off the rebound steadily.

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

During the fast attack, Jeremy Lin rode Juechen to the hinterland of Thunder.

He is extremely fast, and he can change directions and dribble behind his back at any time while he is on the move.

Along the way, the Thunder players tried three interceptions, but without exception, they were all successfully resolved by Shuhao.

"Wow, Shuhao's excellence is a series of failures..."

Yu Jia couldn't help sighing.

"Not to mention anything else, just talking about impact and dribbling ability, Jeremy is definitely the top level among NBA guards."

Yang Yi couldn't help but praise.

In the end, Shuhao succeeded in breaking through the barrier alone, and rewritten the score to 32:20 with a one-handed buckle.

After changing sides, Harden played a pick-and-roll with Ibaka again.

This time, Deng Ge did not make a strong move, but used a very concealed pass to the ground and handed the ball to Ibaka who was down.

Ibaka put his feet on the ground, soared into the sky, and went straight to the basket.

At the critical moment, two figures suddenly sprang up, one in front of the other and launched an interception in the air!

One of the two figures is Daben and the other is Yi Jianlian.

The two stretched out one hand each, firmly pressed on the basketball, and directly pushed Ibaka down with the ball.

After Ibaka fell to the ground, he hugged the basketball tightly, and Yi Jianlian quickly rushed up, and the two immediately became entangled.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle, and the ball is scrambled!

"fxxk..."

Ibaka breathed out the fragrance, and when he got up, he gave Yi Jianlian a push.

In the past, the honest Ah Lian might have resisted and suffered from being dumb.

But today when he was being pushed, a thought popped into his mind-make an offensive foul!

While Yi Jianlian was still wondering why such thoughts came up, his body had already collapsed uncontrollably.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded again, and the referee directly blew Ibaka a technical foul!

Ibaka was dumbfounded.

He just exploded temporarily after being blocked, and he didn't want to hurt others.

He knew the strength of the push just now, it was impossible to push a [-] meter tall man to the ground.

"He's acting, referee!"

Ibaka rushed to the referee to explain, but the referee didn't want to ignore him.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian was pulled up by Shuhao and Roy.

"You made the foul, you punish it."

Roy said lightly.

In this lineup, he is the core of the Rockets.

Yi Jianlian did not refuse, after all, his shooting ability is indeed very suitable for executing free throws.

However, when he walked to the free throw line, he was naturally greeted with deafening boos.

The fans were still not satisfied after booing Yi Jianlian, and pointed the finger at the referee again:

"Referee. Sucks!"

"Referee. Sucks!"

"Referee. Sucks!"

......

Yi Jianlian took a deep breath, dribbled the ball three times without slowing down, and then calmly shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net.

33: 20.

After the ball is scored, the Rockets still have the ball.

Green served from the sideline and passed the ball to Roy.

Huang Mamba saw that Harden was defending himself, and immediately signaled his teammates to pull away, he wants to play singles!

This is also a point mentioned by Mark Jackson in the pre-match combat meeting.

In the game, whenever there is an opportunity to consume Harden on the offensive end, he must fight resolutely!

The other four Rockets players retreated to the left side of the field, completely clearing the right side.

Roy sank his center of gravity, stepped out with his left foot, and made several crotch dribbles in a row.

Harden was unmoved, he was very familiar with this rhythm of dribbling.

But soon, Roy raised his center of gravity and turned his back at the same time, as if he was going to hit him back.

Just when Harden was about to fight hard, Huang Mamba suddenly changed hands and dribbled, turned back, and then accelerated towards the bottom line.

Harden was deceived and quickly moved laterally to pursue defense, but he had already lost his best defensive position.

Roy accelerated to break through to the bottom line and then made a sudden stop and shot a fallback jumper...

Bingo!

At 35:20, the Rockets had led by as many as 15 points.

In the transition between offense and defense, Harden knew that if he didn't score points in this round, the team would be in danger.

He also called a singles tactic.

After a dizzying series of crotch dribbles, Harden sprang into gear and sprinted to the hoop.

Danny Green followed him like a shadow, always staying by the opponent's side.

Harden glanced at Green next to him, then glanced at Ben Wallace not far away...

[It can only be this way. ]

Harden thought to himself.

The next moment, he suddenly received the ball and raised it with straight arms.

Based on the current position, Green's hand will inevitably touch Harden's raised hand.

"James is going to foul again, this move is too stable!"

Off the court, Westbrook said excitedly.

But the next moment...
