Yang Zhenxing's three-pointer! Brush! The lead reached 12 points. Now the Tigers are firmly in control of the situation.
This is not over yet. The Thunder's offense was once again strongly blocked by the Tigers. Durant barely made a three-pointer and failed to hit. The Tigers quickly defended and counterattacked. Yang Zhenxing passed to McGrady, who received the ball.
Three steps, dunk, and the Tigers had the game firmly in their grasp.
At halftime, the Tigers established a 14-point lead at 55:41 and entered the lounge with satisfaction, but this was not the time for them to celebrate.
The re-energized Thunder gave the Tigers a showdown at the beginning of the second half. Inside Perkins and Muhammad, who had just come on the field, resisted Yao Ming. Yi Jianlian and Durant pulled out for a one-on-one challenge. He was better than Tracy McGrady.
He also needs to be taller, taking advantage of his height and arm length to attack Yang Zhenxing, turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper, trying to get into the basket steadily.
"Tracy, I can't do it anymore, I know all your tricks."
Looking back, Yang Zhenxing's offense was still as sharp as the Tigers had the ball. Facing Sefrosha, who was one level bigger than him, Yang Zhenxing just feinted for a moment, and then jumped directly without caring about the opponent's possible block.
three points from
Durant reacted the moment Yang Zhenxing shot, and immediately flew over and waved his hand and slapped the basketball directly. However, the result was very unexpected. Durant felt that his reaction was quick enough this time, but he did not expect it.
The ball actually touched the ball a little bit. When Yang Zhenxing hit the three-pointer, he realized that Yang Zhenxing's shooting speed was already the fastest in the league, and his shooting point was not when his body was at its highest.
There is also the height of the parabola that the basketball passes through.
Yang Zhenxing shook his hands and couldn't help but think that the tricks he learned from Ray Allen really worked.
Durant looked back at the electronic scorer. The score gap between the two sides had widened to 15 points. It was indeed difficult to catch up. Looking at his teammates around him, the morale he had finally built up was once again because of Yang Zhenxing's three-pointer.
A little slack
"Damn it, look at me, now I can only rely on myself!" He thought and waved his arm fiercely.
The Thunder served, and this time Durant passed the ball before Westbrook could bring it across the center line. Then, like a heavy tank, he drove directly towards the Tigers' half at full speed.
McGrady looked at the aggressive Durant and quickly stood up. He didn't care about Durant's arrogant way of passing people. He was confident that he was not at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
The bodies of the two people collided directly. Durant stumbled and threw the ball towards the basket without any reason at the same time. As you can imagine, the ball hit the backboard and bounced off the sideline. McGrady straightened up and came back.
, this should be an offensive foul.
But the referee just didn't open his eyes, and this ball actually called a defensive foul on Tracy McGrady.
Durant didn't expect it to be like this. He just threw the ball out just subconsciously, but now the referee's penalty has come out, which means he has three free throw opportunities. In this way, this call was against the Tigers.
The team is very disadvantaged
All Tigers players felt that they were wronged. "Referee! This should be an offensive foul!" Yang Zhenxing went directly to the referee to complain. Although he knew it was useless, someone must stand up and say what should be said, otherwise the referee would continue to be stupid.
"I can see clearly! You didn't stand firm and your steps moved." The referee didn't even look at Yang Zhenxing. The referee can't show weakness.
"I hope you can see more clearly next time!" Yang Zhenxing then said to the referee.
The referee didn't respond, and he couldn't say anything. He handed the ball to Durant at the free throw line. Maybe he felt a little unreasonable. The ball just now was intended to be called a common blocking foul, but Durant
Te took action out of habit, but the referee had no choice but to continue with the call.
Durant took the ball, calmed down his emotions a little, and threw the ball out, hitting all three free throws.
The Tigers resumed serving. Iverson brought the ball across half court and passed it to Yi Jianlian inside. He ran to the bottom line to meet Iverson. He was no longer the offensive madman. Besides, the powerful Tigers don't need him anymore.
Iverson often plays in singles, so Iverson's position in the team has always been vague. People think that his desire to attack has decreased. In fact, this is not the case. He will still stand up when it is time for him to take action.
Yi Jianlian received the ball and tested it backwards. He is no longer the clumsy big man he was when he first came here. He has made rapid progress under Yao Ming's guidance. He is not only a technical practitioner of post-up singles under the basket.
Although Yi Jianlian's strength is not very strong, his self-confidence is very strong now. He lowered his shoulders, made two dribbles against Ibaka, and then took the ball with both hands and slammed it backwards.
Hit, knock open the space, then turn around and want to lay up
But at the moment when the basketball was released, another big hand slapped over and pressed the ball firmly on the backboard. It turned out to be Durant. He realized something was wrong when Yi Jianlian turned around and hurried in to help defend.
He happened to catch the opportunity and blocked Yi Jianlian.
After Durant blocked the shot, he immediately took the basketball and passed it directly to Westbrook, who was already running forward. Then he rushed to the opponent's half to prepare for the response. At this time, other Tigers players were still crowded under the Thunder's basket.
Only Yang Zhenxing was fast enough and chased Westbrook desperately
When Westbrook dribbled the ball and rushed to the free throw line, he felt that Yang Zhenxing was approaching. If he took action at this time, he would inevitably be entangled and difficult to score. He had played against Yang Zhenxing several times, and he was very familiar with Yang Zhenxing. Yang Zhenxing was a guy.
His shot-blocking ability is not very strong, but his defensive ability using speed is already top-notch. He doesn't want to become a victim himself.
Running behind Yang Zhenxing was Durant. After thinking of a way, Westbrook's speed did not slow down at all and he was still running forward. His right hand drooped and covertly shot the ball behind him.
Yang Zhenxing, who was returning to defense at full speed, did not realize that Westbrook would pass the ball until the ball slipped away from his legs. It was too late to try to steal it. The huge inertia carried his body directly to the basket.
As soon as he stopped the brakes easily, he heard Durant roar behind him and flew up. When he looked back, he only felt a green shadow rising up and pressing straight towards him.
Then he felt that his body was hit hard by something, and he fell heavily to the ground. In addition to the "bang" sound of the basket being violently hit, there was also the referee's whistle in Yang Zhenxing's heart.
He yelled: "Damn it, I'll go"
"No. 31, blocking foul"
Yang Zhenxing was lying on the ground, feeling dizzy. He didn't have any objections to calling him a foul. He happened to be standing within the reasonable collision area when the collision just happened. This time the referee's call was very accurate.
Phil Jackson on the bench saw Yang Zhenxing being knocked down, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He didn't bother to argue with the referee whether it was a foul, and hurriedly directed the team doctor to come forward to check if Yang Zhenxing was injured, until he saw the team doctor.
After nodding at him to indicate there was no problem, he let go of his worries, then quickly asked Arenas to warm up and went up to replace Yang Zhenxing.
Yang Zhenxing was sitting on the bench. Master Chan and other teammates hurriedly came over to ask about the situation. Yang Zhenxing didn't have any questions and could play immediately without waiting. This made everyone feel relieved.
After Yang Zhenxing came off the court, the Tigers' offense seemed to be slightly affected. The Thunder led by Durant chased points one after another. The Tigers couldn't find their rhythm for a while. The advantage they had just established was immediately exhausted at the end of the third quarter.
, the Thunder chased many points
"Coach, let me play!" Yang Zhenxing couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and looked at Durant, who was like a high-flying player on the court, and said with a cold expression, "I don't want to watch this kid helplessly.
Let’s keep going crazy on our home court”
Before Phil Jackson could speak, Yang Zhenxing stood up: "I will give you a satisfactory result, coach, I have no problem, I have rested well, and I can play now."
Yang Zhenxing looked at Yang Zhenxing and said: "Yang Zhenxing, what you did just now was not light, you'd better take a rest."
"It doesn't matter! I don't have the habit of running away before the game is over."
Yang Zhenxing came on again, replacing Arenas and returning to his familiar shooting guard position. At this time, there were still ten minutes left before the end of the game, and the Tigers' lead was still two points.
Xinlang live broadcast Ke Fan said: "Are the Tigers going to be reversed by the Thunder?"
As soon as Yang Zhenxing came back, the hearts of the fans at the scene were immediately warmed up. Now Yang Zhenxing has become the core strength of the team. Even in the Tigers team with many strong players, Yang Zhenxing still plays an extremely important role at his peak. This has never been the case.
It can be seen from the fact that the team is in a deadlock as soon as he plays.
It's just a pity that Durant didn't realize that his opponents, who just looked like a group of sheep, had now turned into man-eating wolves. When facing McGrady's not very tight defense, he broke through with a pull of the ball and changed direction.
He rushed in at once, and just when he was about to press the opponent's inside line for another violent slam dunk to tie the score, a big hand slapped him hard on the arm holding the basketball high.
The force of the earth caused him to instantly lose his balance in the air and fall heavily to the ground.
He immediately remembered the referee's whistle and rushed to the scene of the incident. He blocked the angry player and pointed his finger at the perpetrator.
The thug committed a foul! There is no doubt about this. Even people without eyes can use their ears to hear how hard the blow was just now.
