Chapter 484: Well, actually adding more money now is just too helpless!
In the second quarter, the game continued with music and then another battle.
The Hawks lined up Zaza Pachulia, Radmanovic, Stackhouse, Tracy McGrady and Hinrich.
With five downs and five ups, the Eagles' rotation is quite impressive.
Moreover, whether you should say it or not, let’s continue the tradition!
The problem is that management likes swing players.
Radmanovic is 2.08 meters tall. Not to mention Tracy McGrady and Stackhouse, Hinrich is 1.93 meters tall. At point guard, they are also swaying together.
Pachulia is just an accident, but he is a special talent. He can step in, do dirty work, do dirty work, etc... There is always a need for such talents, and at 2.11 meters, he is just fine in the swing class.
The Thunder's original lineup was also very aggressive. However, with Maynor and Sefolosha missing due to injuries one after another, the Thunder's battle for wealth became less smooth.
We can only make a rotation lineup of Perkins, Collison, Su Bei, Harden, and Billups!
I bother!
Do you call this a rotation?
I'm embarrassed to point you out!
The game started in the second quarter and the Eagles had the ball.
Hinrich steadily controlled the ball to the frontcourt and faced off against Billups. He knew that his opponent's defense was not easy to mess with, so he did not waste time on his own, so he immediately turned over Tracy McGrady's card.
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left, McGrady held the ball to pose as an offensive three-threat. He raised the ball and feinted. Seeing that Su Bei was unmoved, he immediately stepped with his right foot, but still did not move.
The enemy cannot move...
"Tracy McGrady moved, put his feet back, lifted the ball and continued to shake it, then dribbled the ball in and broke through.
Once inside, Su Bei fought against the body. As soon as he made contact, he took a step further inside and immediately pulled out the ball and shot. With his hand raised, he made a two-pointer with a sudden stop and a pull-up jumper..."
Without a very quick first step, McGrady dribbled the ball into the paint, pulled it up and shot.
Su Bei's defensive focus was not lost, but the outstretched hand could not reach McGrady's shot. He had no choice but to cover McGrady's dead fish eyes as much as possible, and then: I bet your two-point pistol
No bullets.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it right, McGrady pulled out his hand and there was no bullet in the pistol.
The basketball hoop flew out.
“McGrady!
The posture of the white horse and the spear is still the original posture. It's just a pity that the shooting posture is no longer useful if it's just outside and can't get in!
McGrady’s name is all that’s left now. There are also three good students and student cadres there... no, he looks like a two-time scoring champion. At only 33 years old, his condition has completely declined, and his fighting ability is too weak..."
In the 11/12 season, McGrady, who has experienced injuries and wear and tear, can only output 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The top four shooting guards of the past have no longer the same style as before.
"Perkins grabbed the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Billups to counterattack.
Hinrich pressed forward.
Billups couldn't break through, and with a blind pass, he threw the basketball into Harden's hands. He continued to dribble the ball forward, and his speed increased. Stackhouse also pressed forward, and Su Bei rushed in.
The front court is already empty.
Huh?
Harden was a bit on his own. He did not choose to distribute the ball, but changed direction, avoided Stackhouse's pressing, and continued to dribble the ball through the middle.
With his explosive power and technique, he has the appearance of a top player in 2009. Stackhouse cannot force Harden and can only fight and retreat.
Fortunately, Pachulia has already rushed back to the basket with all his strength, breaking the Thunder's counterattack fast break...
What the hell?
Don’t come over here!”
On the court, the Hawks did force the Thunder's fast break into a positional battle, but Harden, who was advancing with the ball, did not stop his progress and took the ball to the middle to force a breakthrough. Stackhouse had no defense when he was young.
There was a time when he and Allen Iverson formed a double-leaved backcourt combination with the 76ers.
Now that I am no longer young, facing Harden's unreasonable breakthrough, I can only accept the situation and accept it.
"After reaching the free throw line, Harden Euro-stepped the ball for a layup. The rhythm change of three steps was like passing through the streets in the early morning, passing Stackhouse.
Fortunately, Pachulia's assisting defense swept over him. Harden did not dodge, but faced the man head-on. He was very tough. He rushed with Pachulia's body and knocked his hands away from the block.
Throw the basketball into the hoop…”
Swish——!
Beep——!
At the same time as the basketball scored, the referee's whistle sounded, and Pachulia was awarded a foul.
“Nice 2 1!
This is a play that Harden is good at, a European step layup and a unicorn arm that forcefully touches the ball with both arms.
With the reaction of the inside players and the posture of reaching out and blocking the shot with both hands, it is simply inevitable.
With this technology, it is very possible to exploit loopholes in opponents and rules..."
You can be more confident, not as a possibility, but as a certainty.
However, it should not be said that Harden's basic operations are not only full of details, but also very hard.
Is it hard there?
Of course it’s his playing style and his arms.
In the last shot, he used his strong arms to push away the arms of the defender inside, and then scored a layup.
If your strength is too weak, you won't be able to do this kind of skill and strength work.
Standing on the free throw line, the spectators outside the court had sharp eyes, knowing that Harden had touched him by himself.
Of course, even if he wasn't sharp, he would still boo Harden who was shooting free throws.
Swish——!
Harden showed no expression and was not used to the fans outside the court. He steadily made the free throw and scored a three-pointer.
27 to 30!
The Thunder were only 3 points behind.
Looking back, Hinrich took the ball to the frontcourt, did not rush to take action, kept looking for offensive opportunities, and suddenly played a screen with McGrady.
"Tracy McGrady got rid of Su Bei, but Hinrich didn't pass the ball, but went up himself.
When you get up from the ball, you raise your hand and shoot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Billups did not expect that Hinrich, who had a steady playing style, would be so ungrateful.
He was careless and did not dodge. He could only stretch out his hand as if to defend himself, and then bet that Hinrich's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Hong Kong's and Hinrich's three-point skills can't be said to be very good, nor can they be said to be very bad, they are just mediocre.
However, God turned Hinrich's card tonight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Swish——!
"Yes!
Three point hit!
Hinrich responded strongly and took back the three-pointer that the Eagles had just lost.
The shot was quite sudden, but Hinrich caught it..."
27 to 33!
Hong Kong True, since Hinrich's position was replaced by Rose, his condition and data have declined a lot.
But he is still very effective when playing as a substitute.
Off the court, Scott Brooks saw that the strength of the Hawks' bench was not inferior to that of the Thunder, and he did not panic.
The Thunder can't defend it, and the Hawks can't defend it either. After all, the Hawks' defense has no system and relies on the performance of individual abilities.
"Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt, saw Harden being bypassed, and Su Bei being guarded by Tracy McGrady's eyes. He immediately dealt the cards and turned over Su Bei's cards.
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left, Su Bei held the ball and faced the basket, posing as an offensive three-threat, challenging Tracy McGrady..."
Lifting the ball to explore, McGrady's footwork awareness is still there, but it's a pity that Subei doesn't follow martial ethics. After closing his feet, he didn't have any extra movements. He picked up the ball, raised his hand and tried a three-point pull-up jumper...
McGrady paused for a moment, reacted, stretched out his hand, and then turned around to grab the rebound.
McGrady already lost defense when he was the Magic's scoring champion.
In Harden's words, he focused his energy on offense. Now his physical fitness has seriously declined. Apart from rolling his eyes, he can only listen to gunshots.
Swish——!
"Yes!
A very beautiful three-pointer, and McGrady didn't even react defensively.
This is very inappropriate, that's Su Bei, a shooter with a solid three-point shooting.
But that's McGrady now. Whenever a team signs him, they know they want to use his scoring ability, not his poor defensive ability.
Tracy McGrady, who is both offensive and defensive, is not available at this price, so you have to pay more..."
Well, in fact, it is powerless to add money now.
30 to 33!
Still a 3 point difference.
In the next attack, Hinrich broke through with the ball, sent the basketball to the basket, assisted Pachulia, beat Collison, and scored with a two-handed slam dunk.
30 to 35!
The Thunder attacked and Billups continued to turn over Su Bei's cards.
"After another three-point threat, he raised the ball from outside the three-point line and took a three-point shot.
This time, McGrady didn't dare to be careless and jumped out to press him. As if he had predicted McGrady's movements, Su Bei collected the ball and changed direction, dribbling the ball inward to break through. Just like walking through the streets in the early morning, he passed McGrady.
clean.
After playing Tracy McGrady, Su Bei dribbled the ball to the basket, attacked the basket with a layup, and sent the basketball into the basket..."
Swish——!
The knife fell from his hand, and Su Bei continued to score two points.
32 to 35!
Tracy McGrady's defense is empty, no matter how he plays, he can't.
If you can care about Su Bei's shooting, you can't care about Su Bei's breakthrough.
Of course, the Eagles are not panicking. They have already prepared for such a situation!
Moreover, the Eagles win not by defense, but by offense.
As long as you score more points than your opponent, what's the point of comparing yourself to those who lost points?
Sometimes, basketball is a counting sport.
Not to mention, the Eagles' defense is indeed terrible, but their offensive combat effectiveness is very strong.
"It wasn't Tracy McGrady or Stackhouse, it was Hinrich who suddenly made a cold arrow and hit a three-point pull-up jumper.
Hinrich is trying to use Billups’ good offensive skills to make Billups look bad on defense..."
32 to 38!
No one expected that Hinrich's breakthrough would happen.
At this time, this season, he can only average 66 points and 28 assists in offensive firepower per game. I didn't expect that he would be so good tonight.
Billups couldn't stand it at all.
Fortunately, the Hawks have Tracy McGrady and Stackhouse, a pair of defensive talents.
After McGrady knew he couldn't withstand Su Bei's attack, he chose to move forward. However, Harden received the basketball, and Stackhouse also couldn't withstand Harden's breakthrough.
"Harden was the draft pick in 2009, and Stackhouse was the draft pick in 1995, a span of 14 years.
There are many decades in life. As an athlete, these ten years are even more precious. One is young and invincible, while the other is old and useless. What can you use to defeat it..."
You can't stand it!
Harden followed up with a European step and a layup, easily breaking through the Hawks' defense and sending the basketball into the basket.
Both sides of the competition entered a mutual explosion mode, and no one could do anything to their opponent.
Five minutes passed, and the score difference between the two sides was still fluctuating around 5 points.
As long as the Thunder are ahead, it can be tolerated, but now they are behind, Scott Brooks said this is unbearable.
With a wave of his hand, he replaced Westbrook, Durant and Yin Baka.
Su Bei and Billups played a lot of time in the first quarter and were replaced to rest. Collison was also replaced.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup became a lineup with Perkins and the Thunder's four young men.
The Eagles quickly took over and replaced the five tigers with five strikes.
Just after returning, Josh Smith's desperate attack to the basket caused a foul on Perkins's beater.
Immediately afterwards, Joe Johnson singled out Durant and also used a breakthrough mid-range shot to tie up the offense.
Subsequently, Horford and Jeff Teague under the basket started a pick-and-roll. Horford cut through the screen, caught the ball and attacked the basket, and also scored the basketball.
"The Eagles are a low-end version of the Big Three, and he is also a Big Three.
The three of them worked together, and the Thunder's defense was completely beaten.
How will the Thunder respond?
Hey, Westbrook rushed up, dribbled the ball through, continued his work in the first quarter, and acted recklessly.
Sure enough, Jeff Teague was still too young and couldn't match his body. Horford came to help defend, Joe Johnson also came to attack, and Westbrook chose to meet the man and shoot, stopping the zombie to make a pull-up jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Westbrook stayed on the bench and lost his excellent shooting touch in the first quarter.
When he returned to the court, he immediately changed his face and started a blacksmithing show.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
He only made 1 of 4 shots and scored 2 points.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Durant's condition has improved a lot, but Joe Johnson is closely guarding, dribbling the ball, and Josh Smith is leaving Perkins to help defend.
pincer attack.
Under the coordinated operations of two generations of Eagle Kings, Durant didn't have many offensive opportunities. He only made 2 of 3 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 5 points.
Harden and Su Bei were the two most beautiful players on the Thunder team during the rotation in the second quarter.
As a result, Su Bei was replaced to rest. Harden was the sixth man after all and was still on the court. However, when Du Shao and Westbrook took over the Thunder's ball, Harden was invisible and could only act as a walk-on.
, that is to say, being guarded by the two masters, the offense is useless.
In the second quarter of the game, the Eagles continued to flourish and beat the Eagles with a score of 28 to 23.
At the end of the first half, the score was 58 to 47, and the Thunder entered the locker room to rest with an 11-point deficit.
In the locker room, Scott Brooks was at a loss as to how to defend the Eagles' more blossoming situation.
We can only use offense against offense, and then give Durant the damn basketball to play.
Durant doesn’t want to lose the title of scoring champion, and neither does the Thunder.
As long as Durant wins the scoring title again, Durant's superstar status will be stable.
After all, the Thunder are still a small-city team, so how can they sell tickets?
Just ask and you’ll be a superstar!
From the time Durant joined the Thunder, the management arranged for him to play the role of the scoring leader.
Yin Baka plays the role of a defensive hero.
Harden's 6th man role.
Westbrook?
An all-around triple-double character!
As for the championship, it is still far away. Only by focusing on the present can you see a more beautiful scenery.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
When the third quarter started, Durant basically took over the Thunder's offensive ball.
It doesn't matter if you're in a bad state.
It’s better to use a lot of shots to feed the poop.
But Dan feeds Durant's death mode, and the next game will become easy.
Not to mention, Durant's offense really has a lot of stuff.
The shot was inaccurate and he immediately dribbled the ball to break through. However, a 2.11 meter big man used the breakthrough skills of a defender to dribble the ball into the basket and couldn't guard him at all.
Even if it is blocked, you can still draw a foul and go to the free throw line to shoot free throws.
3 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. Durant scored 13 points, 0 assists, and 3 rebounds in a single quarter.
Coupled with Westbrook's 4 of 8 shooting, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 10 points and 1 assist, the Thunder's explosive combination broke out, scoring 23 points in a single quarter, leading the Thunder to full firepower.
Beat the Eagles with a score of 28 to 23, narrowing the point difference to 6 points.
The suspense of the game seems to be back again.
There is still one quarter left for the Thunder, and it doesn't seem difficult to chase 6 points.
However, Su Bei, Harden, and Billups, who basically didn't take many shots in the third quarter, couldn't find their shooting touch in the fourth quarter.
The offense continued to hit the ground running and misfired.
The teammates around me are so useless!
Alas, there is no way, right?
The Thunder can only let the Thunder continue to explode.
Durant made 3 of 10 shots and 1 of 5 three-pointers. He still dared to take shots and carried the Thunder on his shoulders.
Westbrook made 1 of 5 and 0 of 2 three-pointers. His shooting was poor, but he still dared to try his shooting skills...
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
Under the leadership of the Thunder's two young men, Wolong Chufeng, the Thunder were beaten by the Eagles with a score of 21 to 15 in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the score was 102 to 90, and the Hawks ended the Thunder's 14-game winning streak with a 12-point advantage.
Durant made 9 of 24 shots, 3 of 10 three-pointers, and 14 of 17 free throws. He scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. He was the scoring leader. Although his efficiency was low, he still ranked among the top scorers.
Pulling down Kobe Bryant, who scored 38 points last night, he regained the top spot.
After all, Westbrook is in a contract year, so it is reasonable to take more shots. He made 10 of 21 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 27 points, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds. As a shooting guard, he is qualified!
What, you call Westbrook a point guard?
How come I don't know?
That's because you are ignorant.
All right!
Su Bei made 5 of 9 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. As a point guard, 5 assists are quite adequate.
Josh Smith made 10 of 22 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 9 of 13 free throws. He scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists, playing like an Eagle.
Joe Johnson did not have any outstanding performance, but he made 8 of 14 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scored 20 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds, and did not lose the face of Joe in singles.
Plus Jeff Teague's 15 points, Hinrich's 12 points, Horford's 11 points and 10 rebounds...
In terms of the Big Three, the Hawks are indeed not as good as the Thunder, but in terms of efficiency and multi-point blooming, the Thunder are much inferior. The players in charge are too selfish, and the loss of the game is not unfair!
