Chapter 472: Two groups of explosive combinations exploded at the same time. What are you going to do with it?
With such an explosive talent, the Thunder lost two games in a row just because the shooting touch of the Thunder's two young men fell to the ground. Is there any way to survive?
Is there any royal law?
I bother!
January 6, Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Thunder took their anger out on the Rockets and charged in at the beginning of the game, like the autumn wind sweeping leaves, with a score of 119 to 94, killing the Rockets by 25 points and ending their losing streak.
Because of the Jiangsu Butterfly Effect, Omen Sun and Moon cannot retire so early, but they will definitely be able to play. They only have health basketball, and they did not play with the team in this game.
Theoretically, this Rockets team at this time has entered the star-less era of Kevin Martin. There are still Scola, Lowry, and wealthy coach Parsons in the team, none of whom can play.
Lowry has taken the path of a late bloomer. Now he averages 14 points and 66 assists per game. He is performing well, but he has not been able to play basketball like a trash brother with Kevin Martin. He is destined to be just a passerby.
The Rockets, who were mediocre and talentless, faced off against the Thunder, which was overflowing with talent. They had no power to resist, so if they lost less, they would count as a win.
The Thunder also returned to normal firepower output. Durant made 10 of 16 shots and scored 26 points in 28 minutes. Westbrook played 30 minutes and made 6 of 12 shots. Including free throws, he scored 15 points.
Su Bei made 8 of 11 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 21 points and 4 rebounds, continuing his efficient performance.
Harden made 7 of 10 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 20 points and 5 assists.
Two explosive combinations explode at the same time. What can the Rockets do to defeat them?
You can't stand it.
I can handle it.
This is the conversation between Su Bei and Yao Ming.
On January 7, it was a regular game between the Thunder and Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston.
I chatted with Yao Ming for a few minutes and caught up with each other, but that was it.
The emergence of Su Bei changed the flower growers' collective destiny of winning medals in the 2008 Olympics, but it could not change his personal NBA career.
After all, the mission of the times, Yao Ming is not just playing for himself...
It can't be solved just by not leaving the Rockets, so what can be done to change it?
His loyalty is to the Rockets.
James is loyal to brother basketball.
What Su Bei is loyal to is the beauty he saw at the age of 18.
Some people are loyal to money...
It can only be said that players from flower-growing families lose because they are not professional.
The entire generation of the league has the same basketball spirit. It is difficult for an individual to outplay them. The career of an athlete is so short. No one can survive until times change like James and become the so-called second man in history.
Su Bei checked his age. It was very possible that he could try who was more miserable.
That’s too far!
Let’s get back to the game.
The score was 105 to 102. The second matchup was quite tense. The outcome was decided in the last 7 seconds. The Thunder narrowly defeated the Rockets with a 3-point advantage.
No matter how hard they play, the Thunder can't lose. A three-point victory is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Durant and Westbrook were on fire again. One made 10 of 25 shots and the other made 10 of 20 shots. Together they scored 52 points. Their offensive performance was good and they liked shooting. They gave them a good chance.
It's a pity that the Rockets, Scola scored 28 points, Dragic scored 23 points, and Kevin Martin scored 20 points, but they still failed to defeat the Thunder team, which has the appearance of a championship.
After two consecutive losses, the Thunder regained two consecutive victories against the Rockets, with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.
After defeating the Rockets in succession, the Thunder rushed to San Antonio without stopping to challenge the Spurs in back-to-back away games.
The schedule is very fucked up. It starts on January 6th, and there are games on the 7th and 8th.
Su Bei has lived so long that he has never seen an NBA game, and there are games scheduled for three consecutive days.
Now I actually see it.
When the league is suspended, anything can happen.
Night falls.
at8t Center Arena.
At this time, the Spurs' home court ushered in a regular game against the Thunder. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up period, Durant and Duncan chatted for a few cents.
In fact, the two of them couldn't talk at all. Duncan was just a facial paralysis. Although he became more and more arrogant later, and his hair grew to his waist twenty years later, Duncan is very professional now and usually does not become arrogant unless he retires.
Already...
The others didn't have anything to talk about, they were all facially paralyzed, and they were still talking about it!
At this time, the lineups of both teams tonight were also shown on the big screen in the arena.
The Spurs' Fab Five, Duncan, DeJuan Blair, Richard Jeffer, Gary Neal, Parker.
Five members of the Thunder, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, Billups, Westbrook.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith providing commentary.
"The Spurs' record is 6 wins and 2 losses, and the Thunder's record is 7 wins and 2 losses. This is a battle for second place in the Western Conference, and it can even be said to be a battle for first place.
The Spurs, who experienced eight losses last season, still performed solidly in the regular season this season.
However, last season's playoff defeat also made everyone realize that this Spurs team is getting old and is very bad at dealing with teams with low physical talent.
In addition, Ginobili has not returned yet. If I had to guess a winning rate, I hope it will start in 1982.
Thunder eight, Spurs two."
Kenny Smith nodded, continued the topic, and said: "You see that the Spurs have such a low chance of winning, do you think the Spurs are likely to play healthy basketball and will not show their true strength to compete with the Thunder?"
Barkley spread his hands, shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not a possibility, but a certainty. This is the Spurs' regular operation.
There is no doubt that the Thunder will be the biggest opponent in the Western Conference this season.
Keep their trump cards in the regular season, then use them to fight in the playoffs to catch their opponents off guard. This is the true thinking of this Spurs team that only values the playoffs.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Spurs and game ratings will not be good friends..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Duncan defeated Yin Baka and won the first possession of the ball for the Spurs.
Su Bei followed up with Jefferson who was watching the defense.
This person doesn't have a basket, and is good at attacking the basket. The Thunder defends zone defense tactics. If he is not afraid of this type of player, Su Bei can defend easily.
"Parker brought the ball to the frontcourt, observed it, and immediately lobbed the ball to Duncan in the low post on the left, and hit Yin Baka with the ball.
After squeezing toward the basket, Su Bei immediately shrank back and flanked Duncan.
Duncan was very stable, and the basketball was passed to Jefferson outside the three-point line in the left corner..."
Su Bei didn't panic. He didn't take Jefferson's three-point shooting ability seriously.
However, it is impossible to deal with a heart-wrenching three-pointer from five meters away like Westbrook did.
After all, Jefferson has room to rush in, and Su Bei needs to defend back.
"The basketball went in again, and Jefferson hung it back to Duncan, then played music, and then Duncan singled out Yin Baka.
Northern Jiangsu continues to shrink its defense support, and it is already too late..."
Su Bei's defensive actions were predicted in advance. Duncan took the ball again, accelerated the offensive rhythm, squeezed and dribbled, turned for layups, and shot off the board. Yin Baka's height was taken advantage of, so he could only try his best.
Force Duncan out of the basket and listen to the gunshot.
Peng, clang——!
"Duncan attacked the basket and failed to score.
At the beginning of the game, the ball was not yet warm, and the basketball was taken by Durant. He immediately passed the ball to Westbrook, and he started to charge with the ball...
The French sports car pressed forward, but Westbrook got out of the way. He quickly rushed to the frontcourt, continued to rush to the basket, and then pulled up the ball and made a one-handed dunk that surpassed Huashan..."
Bang-dang——!
Gary Neal retreated to the basket, but he couldn't stand up to this abnormal talent of the Turtles.
I could only watch as Westbrook rushed up and completed his performance of blowing up the basket.
2 to 0!
“When your body rushes and you bring your athleticism to the court, it’s impossible for the Spurs to defend him.
Only by slowing down this Thunder team can the Spurs have any hope of winning.
Next, let’s see how the Spurs perform offensively?”
The Spurs attacked, and Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Duncan did not stay under the basket, but pulled up to the high post and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Parker.
"Yin Baka came out, Tony Parker took advantage of the screen, got rid of Westbrook, dribbled the ball towards the basket...
The Thunder's defense used its mobility to quickly shrink inside. Parker passed Yin Baka and saw Durant under the basket. He failed to let go and threw the basketball behind him. Duncan followed and got the basketball.
When the ball was empty, he jumped up and took a two-point jumper from close range..."
The Spurs' offensive tactics are simple, but very effective. This block, pass and shot instantly tore through the Thunder's unreliable defense. We can only bet that Duncan's two-point pistol has no bullets.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Duncan's pistol was out of bullets.
"Still missed, Duncan's shot missed again.
Hey, the rebound was caught by Parker who rushed to the basket. This is really good luck.
The Thunder blocked the penalty area. Parker couldn't even see the basket and could only dribble outside. When he saw Jefferson rushing in, he immediately passed the ball, caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper.
…”
Su Bei was careless and focused on Jefferson's attack on the basket. Unexpectedly, Jefferson didn't follow martial ethics and just pulled it up and shot, only to hear the gunshot.
"Bang Dang——!
Still not, Jefferson's shooting is also solid.
The Spurs' offensive opportunities came out, but they only came out outside and were of no use.
What the hell?
The backboard was blocked. With a height of 2.01 meters, Dejuan Blair quickly jumped up and grabbed the basketball in front of Durant. He immediately started running after landing for the second time... no, the third time.
A last-ditch shot.
Snapped--!
Yin Baka and Durant protected the basket and gave DeJuan Blair a big hit.
The basketball was taken down by Su Bei, and he immediately rushed with the ball..."
It's clear that he needs to increase his speed and compete with the Spurs in terms of physical talent.
The Spurs naturally didn't want to give it up. Gary Neal rushed over to press, but Su Bei didn't like him. He hit the ground without looking at anyone and passed the basketball to Billups' hands. Then, he spread his legs and went towards
Rush forward.
On the other side, Westbrook also rushed.
"The Thunder's tactics are also very simple, but there are many patterns, and they continue to hit the Spurs' three inches.
Despite their physical talent, the Spurs' only fate is to be crushed.
Billups also quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, forming a three-on-two situation. Let's see whose card he will turn over.
Jiangsu North, or Westbrook...
Another hit to the ground, Billups passed the ball like a scalpel, turned over the Su Bei card on the left, took the ball and rushed towards the basket..."
Snapped--!
Tony Parker pulled Su Bei down for a layup, and Su Bei took advantage of the situation and shot the basketball.
Bang-dang——!
The center of gravity of the body was unstable, and the basketball he threw failed to hit the target.
Fortunately, the referee's whistle sounded.
Beep——!
"Parker is very tough. He used foul tactics to destroy Subei's sure-fire layup attack and sent Subei to the free throw line for free throws..."
Facing the boos of the home fans, Su Bei stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and quickly shot the free throw.
Swish——!
Swish——!
Faced with the question of sending points, Su Bei showed no mercy and made two free throws, scoring 2 points.
4 to 0!
“At the beginning of the game, it was the Thunder that took the lead.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Thunder were scrambling to catch up on the offensive rhythm, increase their speed, and use their physical talent to compete with the Spurs.
The Thunder have already shown their cards at this time, and now it depends on whether the Spurs will take over in the next game..."
The Spurs have a tradition of playing healthy basketball, and the Thunder's reckless style of play that doesn't sacrifice physical fitness is really incomparable.
Even if the Thunder can be stopped, the Spurs will still have to put in a lot of effort and may not be able to win the game.
This is just an ordinary regular game. The Spurs still want to keep their trump card to play the game. It is obvious that the Thunder are going to expose the Spurs' trump card. How will they choose? Will they take the move?
The Thunder's aggressive style of play immediately put the Spurs into a very passive situation.
You know, before the game, they didn't want to fight the Thunder with bayonets. Unexpectedly, the Thunder actually played it real and stabbed them with bayonets. How did you choose?
