Chapter 323 Killing Thunder is just an easy thing(1/2)
Everyone in the Thunder did not want to be overturned by Fan Xi.
Head coach Scott Brooks took the tactical board and emphasized passionately that Fan Xi must be stopped, the defense must be strengthened, and the last 35 seconds must be won.
Kevin Durant is set to be the core of the offense, and the final offensive tactics will revolve around him.
This is an undoubted result. Although Westbrook performed very well tonight, this is Durant's team, and its name is SuperSonics. When the team was still in Seattle, Durant was already a member of the team.
leader.
As long as Durant is still around, unless he leaves on his own initiative, he will definitely dominate the ball at the last moment.
Westbrook is very strong, and James Harden is also very talented.
However, Durant is their boss.
The Thunder have reached a consensus.
After discussion with the Clippers coaching staff, Yao Ming was replaced, DeAndre Jordan and Nowitzki were paired inside, the small forward became Leonard, the shooting guard was Butler, and Fansheed was the point guard.
This was a risky move. All three newcomers played poorly in this game. However, Fanshi supported the team's decision.
Billups whispered his concerns.
As a championship guard, Billups has a strong sense of the court. He thinks this is a risk, and other veterans also have such thoughts.
Fanxi said: "It doesn't matter even if we lose this game, we need to let the young players learn more experience at the real critical moment."
Fan Xi chose to believe in his young teammates.
This moved the young players very much. After all, Fan Xi had just spent a lot of effort to tie the game.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
The Energy Arena resounded with chants of cheers for the Thunder.
Fanci stared closely at Westbrook. After Westbrook arrived in the frontcourt, he quickly handed the basketball to Durant on the wing.
The other players pulled away one after another, and Leonard stepped forward to face Durant with his terrifying wingspan.
Durant is the player with the strongest offensive ability in the league today.
God gave him the unique height and wingspan, as well as the speed and coordination of a small guard.
Although Leonard's defense made him uncomfortable, he took a quick step and then stopped for a jump shot... Leonard tried his best to block the shot, but he still missed it by half... Bang!
Basketball blacksmithing.
But the referee blew the whistle.
Leonard tapped Durant's wrist.
This is an uncontested foul.
Leonard shook his hand in annoyance, but Fan Xi gave him a thumbs up.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Durant made two free throws.
But when Durant hit the second ball, Jordan fell to the ground in the penalty area.
When he and Perkins were actively locked in position, Perkins suddenly withdrew his stool, and Jordan suffered uneven force and fell to the ground.
Perkins laughed and mocked from the side: "You actually want to steal Durant's rebound. There is simply no one stupider than you in the world."
Perkins' expectations were ironic in the extreme.
Jordan's face was livid.
Fan Xi asked him to give the basketball to him.
There are 23 seconds left in the game.
The Clippers are 2 points behind.
Every ball is a matter of life and death.
The Clippers must score this goal.
Otherwise, victory will be lost.
It's crucial.
Fan Xi took a deep breath.
All the pressure fell on his shoulders, but he took firm steps to move forward.
When Fanci came outside the three-point line, he did not deliberately suppress the attack time.
His defender changed from Westbrook to James Harden.
This is a change from the Thunder coaching staff, who believe James Harden is a better clutch defender.
…
James Harden stood in front of Fan Xi, opening his arms to block Fan Xi's way. He kept saying plausibly: Jack, you can't kill me. I study you every day, and I know you like to break through from the left.
…
Harden kept talking nonchalantly.
Fan Xi remembers that Harden joined the league a year earlier than him. He was the third overall pick in 2009 and was in the same class as Curry.
However, since he joined the Thunder, he has only made his mark temporarily.
In the process of wasting time, Fan Xi suddenly accelerated, his body got into the three-point line extremely fiercely, and he cut in from the left.
Harden quickly gave chase.
With a smile on his lips, he knew that his plan had succeeded.
There is an ambush on the left.
But just as Fanci reached the three-point line, before reaching the free throw line, he suddenly stopped and Harden quickly stopped his pace.
But at this moment, Fan Xi suddenly spun around his body and sprinted into the penalty area from his right side.
Fan Xi stopped together to create a time difference.
His rich experience allows him to deal with the enemy calmly and break down the Thunder's defense.
When Fan Xi entered the paint, Perkins immediately approached him eagerly.
Fan Xi jumped up immediately. Without any hesitation, he faced Perkins' defense and made an angry dunk gesture. This was a narrow encounter.
Perkins also quickly jumped into the air, trying to force Fan Xi down.
However, just as the two bodies collided, Perkins pulled Fan Xi with a small movement. At the same time, Fan Xi made a hand change in the air. His body lost its center of gravity and threw the basketball with his left hand towards the basket...
…shua!
The basketball fell into the net.
Fan Xi stumbled and fell to the ground.
Beep!
The referee blows the whistle.
This penalty was undisputed, even though the Energy Arena was booed and cursed.
The Clippers went ahead by 2 points.
And get 1 additional penalty opportunity.
There are still 8 seconds left before the end of the game.
Fan Xi did not beat the buzzer this time.
This is an opportunity for the Thunder.
So, Westbrook came up and he said to Fanci, "If you miss the free throw, you're going to lose this game."
Fan Xi smiled.
He didn't expect Westbrook to talk such rubbish to him.
Then, Fanci looked up and asked Jordan: "DeAndre, if I don't make the free throw, can you grab the rebound?"
Fan Xi was all smiles.
Jordan glanced at Perkins, who had a fierce face next to him, and then said with great certainty: "Yes!"
Fan Xi smiled.
Because of Fan Xi's words, when he took free throws, he was more active in blocking the position under the basket.
Moreover, when the Clippers brought on Kwame Brown, the Thunder also took advantage of the situation and replaced Harden with Collison, using three inside players to ensure this rebound.
Because for the Thunder, if they get this rebound, they still have a chance to win.
