At this period, Westbrook has not yet met the trash dog-Beverley.
His knees are intact and his physical functions are at their peak.
A simple statistic can illustrate how explosive Westbrook is now - so far this season, he has completed a total of 23 dunks.
Even though this number is mediocre, it is already the most among point guards.
Rose, who is ranked second, is far behind him in terms of grade!
Because of this, Westbrook has absolute confidence in his dunk.
Even though he was followed by a 2.13-meter center who could walk like flying, he still didn't feel timid at all.
I saw him jumping off one foot, fully stretching his body in the air, like a fully drawn bow!
Seeing this scene, the Thunder fans at the scene were ready to welcome the birth of a shocking tomahawk.
At this moment, they stood up one after another, waiting for that moment to arrive.
Behind Westbrook, Oden also jumped high.
In an instant, the two of them were like two dragons grabbing the pearl in the air!
Fans hold their breath, waiting for the results...
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, Oden was behind Westbrook and fanned the ball away with his left hand!
At the same time, Westbrook instantly lost his center of gravity in the air and fell straight down...
"Bang!!!"
There was a heavy muffled sound, the sound of the body colliding with the wooden floor.
The smiles on the faces of Thunder fans who had stood up happily disappeared instantly.
At this moment, they didn't care whether the ball was scored or not, they were all focused on Westbrook who fell to the ground!
Some timid fans even covered their eyes and did not dare to look again after seeing Westbrook fall heavily to the floor.
At this time, the basketball landed near the baseline and rebounded, miraculously not going out of bounds.
Oden took control of the ball immediately.
But when he turned around and saw Westbrook falling to the ground in pain, Oden put the ball on the spot, gave up the offense without hesitation, and walked towards Westbrook with a worried look on his face.
"How are you, bro?"
Auden asked nervously.
Westbrook closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and did not respond.
Soon, other Thunder players ran up.
They quickly separated the two and surrounded Westbrook.
Oden, on the other hand, stood on tiptoes, watching the situation of Westbrook behind the Thunder players.
In the round just now, his block was completely on the ball, without any suspicion of foul play.
But as a player troubled by injuries, Oden doesn't want to see anyone get hurt, and it's because of his own injury.
Even though his actions were completely in compliance with the rules.
The Thunder's team doctor quickly rushed to the court to observe Westbrook's condition.
Fortunately, Thunder No. 0 is strong and fine.
After a simple treatment, he took his teammates' hands and stood up from the floor.
Then, Westbrook twisted his neck, turned his wrist, and then jumped on the spot again.
After some activities, he let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was amazed at his physical fitness.
"Hey! Is Westbrook's body made of steel?"
"If this happened to an ordinary person, he might have to go to the hospital!"
"But Westbrook lay on the floor for a few minutes, and then he got up like nothing happened!"
"This body is really a gift from God!"
Zhang Weiping sighed repeatedly.
............
After Westbrook stood up, he walked over to Oden and gave him a high-five.
Although he had just fallen to pieces, he still felt that the emperor had come to visit him.
"I hope you're okay."
Auden said with a smile.
After it was confirmed that Westbrook was okay, the game restarted.
Just now, Oden gave up the offense after taking possession of the ball, so according to the rules, the Rockets were whistled for an 8-second violation.
But Lei Lei, this young guard, is full of energy and naturally disdains taking advantage of such a small thing.
Durant was on the sideline, took the basketball from the referee, and threw the ball directly out of the baseline.
The ball once again returned to the Rockets.
Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene gave warm applause for the sportsmanship of the two teams.
............
The game continues with the Rockets attacking.
Lowry plays a pick-and-roll with Oden at the top of the key.
With the help of the screen, he successfully broke through Westbrook's defense, but after breaking into the penalty area, he encountered Ibaka's defense.
Fortunately, Oden moved down in time, giving Lowry space to pass the ball.
The little steel cannon flicked his wrist, hit the ground, and handed the ball to the emperor.
Ibaka reacted quickly and immediately moved sideways and rushed in front of Oden.
However, Rockets No. 52 did not stop because there was a defender in front of him.
He slumped his shoulders slightly after catching the ball, and then hit it hard...
The next moment, Ibaka, who has always been known for his physical fitness, staggered back two steps.
Obviously, he did not expect that Oden was so powerful!
The emperor, who pushed his opponent away, relaxed his arms and used a beautiful left-hand hook to send the ball into the basket.
7:2, the Rockets continue to lead!
In the transition between offense and defense, Westbrook quickly passed the half court again.
After dribbling to a 45-degree angle on the right side, he saw Lowry letting him take a big step, so he shot directly.
Westbrook's shooting posture is very strange.
His body is completely tense in the air!
After jumping straight to the highest point, he pressed his wrist and threw the ball (this description is inexplicably like McGrady's pull-up posture. But the difference is that t-mac is more relaxed when taking off, and his posture is also much more stretched).
This is the famous zombie jumper!
However, although Westbrook's shooting posture is not beautiful enough, the bounce height is indeed surprisingly high.
Lowry reacted and jumped with all his strength to block the shot, but in the end his fingertips only reached the height of Westbrook's elbow.
The basketball rotated at high speed in the air, drawing an arc that was not too high...
bingo!
At 7:5, the score difference was narrowed again.
After scoring the goal, Westbrook was very excited.
He turned sideways and turned to face the stands, then stretched out his hands and made a gesture of shaking the baby.
Zhang Weiping, who was in the commentary box, saw this scene and immediately said: "Wow, Westbrook's celebration is very provocative!"
"Although he didn't do this action directly to Lowry, the effect is the same."
"Isn't this equivalent to telling the audience that Lowry is as fragile as a baby in front of me, Westbrook?"
Lori's face darkened immediately after seeing this humiliating action.
He stared at Westbrook not far away, his eyes full of anger.
If looks could kill, Westbrook might have died many times.
"Don't get angry, I'll call you back later and you'll be fine."
Roy walked up to Lori, patted the latter on the shoulder and said.
The little steel cannon nodded and walked to the baseline to catch the ball.
Then, he passed the half court with the ball and headed straight to the right side of the court at a 45-degree angle with a clear goal.
Here is the mirror image of Westbrook's three-pointer just now!
Seeing Lowry's behavior, Westbrook shook his head and raised a disdainful arc at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Lowry suddenly dropped his center of gravity, looked up towards the basket, and at the same time moved his right hand closer to the left hand holding the ball.
[I knew it!]
Westbrook instantly ejected and jumped high into the air.
But the next moment, he was surprised to find...Lori didn't take off to shoot!
This turned out to be a shooting fake!
After Lowry dangled Westbrook, he took a step forward and then shot...
"Shua~"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
answer.ball!
[Stephen’s method of worshiping Buddha is really useful!]
Lori thought to himself.
After scoring the two-pointer, he felt much happier.
But it's not over yet.
One minute later, the Thunder made an offensive error.
Westbrook jumped up to pass the ball, but passed the ball directly to Tucker's hands.
The latter immediately handed the ball to Lowry.
The little steel cannon advanced with the ball at high speed and quickly reached the Thunder half.
The Thunder generals quickly returned to defense and were about to build a defensive formation.
At this moment, Lowry, who was two meters away from the three-point line, suddenly took action!
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Three-pointed sword, the flames of hell!
12:5.
With this unexpected three-pointer, the Rockets' lead reached 7 points!
Seeing that the point difference between the two teams was about to reach double digits, Durant stood up again.
He first hit Green with his back in the low post and used a beautiful "Golden Rooster Independence" step back to hit the ball steadily.
In the next round, Durant repeated his old trick and once again played in the low post.
The difference is that the tall and long-armed God of Death ignored Danny Green in front of him this time and pulled out his hand...
Come in again!
One minute later, the Thunder used the entire team's defense to prevent the Rockets' offense from succeeding.
They also got a chance to fight back!
In the transition attack, Durant used his long legs to easily get past Green's defense, rushed to the basket and dunked the ball.
12:11!
Durant relied on his own strength to hit a 6:0 shock wave in less than two minutes, helping the Thunder narrow the point difference to one point!
Mark Jackson on the sidelines saw that the situation was not going well and quickly called a timeout.
When the athletes from both teams walked back to the bench, Chesapeake Energy's MVP shouts rang out.
"mvp!!!"
"mvp!!!"
"mvp!!!"
The young god of death raised his head and enjoyed the support of the fans.
He smiled and raised his right hand to greet Thunder fans.
Seeing this scene, Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, couldn't help but sigh: "Who would have thought that one day, Thunder fans would throw away Durant's name..."
............
Rockets bench.
Danny Green slumped in his seat, looking decadent.
Less than half a quarter into the game, Durant had already scored four goals on his head.
Moreover, every ball is played 1-on-1 without any help from teammates.
This way of scoring a goal can have a huge impact on the defender, as you can imagine!
This was the first time for young Green to encounter such a situation.
[Maybe my level is not good enough to be a starter.]
He sighed secretly in his heart.
Mark Jackson saw that the young player in the team was so frustrated, and he quickly comforted him:
"Danny, the man you are guarding is called Kevin Durant. He is already one of the best scorers in the league."
"Once a scorer of this level gets comfortable, no defense will exist in front of him."
"So... what I want to say is that there was nothing wrong with your previous defense. Don't doubt yourself because of it."
Green was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head and looked at Mark Jackson, as if to confirm whether the other party was lying to him.
"The coach is right."
"If there is anything that can be improved... I'll give you a suggestion - increase physical confrontation!"
The speaker was Tony Allen.
As a defensive player, he just wants to go on the court and fight Durant for 300 rounds!
But the decision rests with the coach, and Tony Allen did not dare to say anything. He could only tell his teammates his opinions.
Hearing this, Green nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll try it later."
On the other side of the bench, Lowry was sipping a sports drink.
The game had only passed half a quarter, and his physical exertion was already huge.
There is no way, Lowry's opponent today is Westbrook - one of the most powerful guards in the league!
But Xiaogangpao doesn't feel that he is inferior in comparison.
It's a rare opportunity to start a game, he just wants to fully prove himself today!
In order to prevent his coaches and teammates from noticing his physical problems, Lowry only dared to drink sports drinks when everyone was focusing their attention elsewhere.
However, this scene was still discovered by Curry on the side.
The primary school student said nothing, but watched all this silently.
He knew that his appearance made Lori feel even more stressed.
But Curry can't give in to the team's starting position.
He loves playing basketball and is always eager to show his talent on the court.
For Lowry, the only thing Curry can do is to cheer for Lowry when he plays!
............
The timeout ends and the game continues.
As soon as the Rockets came on the court, they showed a different look from before.
After a series of dazzling passes and cuts, Danny Green got a shot from outside the three-point line.
Durant, who was blocked by the pick-and-roll, was struggling to catch up.
The moment before Green took action, he jumped up high and stretched out his right hand...
