Yang Zhenxing is destined to be the focus of today. The first quarter of the game started in the confrontation between him and Westbrook. From the beginning, he was slightly at a disadvantage, to the two of them being evenly matched, until they had a vague advantage, the progress of the game
It was also played at this pace. Although the team was still two points behind, everyone realized that the balance of the game had gradually tilted towards the Tigers, and the rhythm of the game was more in line with the Tigers' style of play. In the first half
At the end of the game, 48:46, the Tigers led by 2 points
The game came back again for the first offense. Yang Zhenxing controlled the ball. In front of him was Westbrook.
With a change of direction and a feint, Yang Zhenxing opened the distance between the two, and all the strength in his body burst out in an instant. Westbrook only felt a white shadow flashing from his left side, and a fierce airflow hit his face.
He has seen such amazing speed before and experienced it more than once. Now Yang Zhenxing's speed is almost the fastest in the league, but Westbrook is a fast player. If anyone is faster than him, he
But he would never admit this, so Westbrook defended very actively.
Yang Zhenxing passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, and with a roar, Yi Jianlian's strong body rose into the air. The basketball with his right arm raised high looked so powerful at this time, and suddenly he dunked hard with his right arm. Such a comfortable dunk made Yi Jianlian's morale high.
Excited, Yang Zhenxing's breakthrough attracted the opponent's defense. Taking advantage of Perkins' outstanding defense, Yang Zhenxing passed the ground and quickly transferred the ball to the unguarded Yi Jianlian. The latter stepped forward without hesitation.
In one step, he dunked the ball hard into the basket.
In order to limit Yang Zhenxing's breakthrough goals, the Thunder started a double-teaming tactic against Yang Zhenxing, and the effect was obvious. In the first two minutes of the second half, Yang Zhenxing's performance was average, and he was not used to the opponent's double-teaming for a while. Instead, he added a mistake to the statistics.
Phil Jackson took the opportunity to take Yang Zhenxing off the court to take a rest, and Marbury took his place in the game. Although the latter was inferior to Yang Zhenxing in terms of strength and speed, his experience was something that Yang Zhenxing could not match.
He was able to cope with the double-team tactic with ease. After only half a minute on the court, he created a murderous opportunity and assisted Yao Ming for a successful jump shot.
Seeing Marbury's timely stabilization of the situation, Phil Jackson was in the mood to pay attention to other things. He said to Yang Zhenxing pleasantly: "Yang, you don't need to blame yourself too much for that mistake just now." Yang Zhenxing nodded silently.
, Regarding the mistake just now, Yang Zhenxing didn’t take it seriously, and naturally it wouldn’t affect his confidence.
The Thunder's lineup, with Perkins and Ibaka sitting inside, put tremendous pressure on the Tigers. With Perkins holding a big tree stump and a shot-blocker like Ibaka, even if the Tigers had
A super center like Yao Ming had to overwhelm the Thunder inside. Durant's frequent successes, coupled with his control of rebounds, gradually turned the game towards the Thunder. For a while, the Thunder took the lead.
As Perkins succeeded in a violent dunk inside, Phil Jackson finally stood up from the bench and signaled a timeout to the referee. At this time, the Thunder trailed by 4 points at 52:56. In order to compete for the championship, they had already lost to Weiss once.
Brook worked very hard and led the team to a scoring climax. Although Marbury worked very hard, in front of Westbrook, all his efforts were in vain, which led to the disadvantage of the whole team's offense.
Phil Jackson suddenly became depressed. He was leading the situation just now, but his opponent overtook him in a moment and asked for a timeout.
.The Thunder's defense is still strong, and the defensive cooperation is still very tacit. Now it is overtaken by the opponent, and the Tigers are suddenly in a deadlock.
After giving some instructions to the players, Phil Jackson solemnly said to Iverson: "The opponent's inside rebounds are controlled very well. In addition to relying on Yi Jianlian's efforts, the team still made slight changes. Iverson continued to serve as the point guard."
Guard, we now need to rely on sharp breakthroughs to tear through the Thunder's defense. Everyone must pay attention to their running positions." Then Jackson turned to Yang Zhenxing and said: "Yang, as a shooting guard, you should run more and use your position as a shooting guard.
Speed advantage, looking for opportunities to take decisive action. The game restarted. Iverson took Yi Jianlian's serve and slowly moved forward. Not far away from him, Westbrook was waiting near the midline. This was not the first of the two.
After the first match, Westbrook’s current style has become increasingly calm.
Clearly feeling the fierceness in the opponent's eyes, Iverson was not anxious at all. His opponent acted so calmly, the more careful he had to deal with it. Westbrook was very cautious now, and Iverson did not dare to take it lightly.
As Iverson got closer and closer, Westbrook's expression became colder and handsome, and his body's center of gravity sank slightly.
As the two got closer, Westbrook could even hear Iverson's slight gasp, and a trace of anger rose in his heart. He is a very calm and mature player. For any player, whether he is a rookie or not,
He is still a well-known superstar. He always goes all out and does not dare to slack off. It is precisely because of his persistence that he has won the respect of many opponents. Even though Westbrook has been criticized a lot before,
But he also received widespread praise
Even top scorers like Iverson and Kobe had to be careful when facing their own defense, but the rookie in front of him didn't take himself seriously at all, and he seemed to be a little careless in handling the ball.
His own defense seemed to be just a decoration in his eyes. Iverson's left toe suddenly exerted force, and his advancing body suddenly stopped and bounced out in the opposite direction. He looked at Iverson's center of gravity.
Gradually rising higher, Westbrook secretly exclaimed: Such agility, he is indeed worthy of being the MVP of the past. He did have a few moments, but if he wants to score on his own head so easily, he is too underestimated. This is what he thinks in his heart, but
But he didn't dare to slack off in his actions. Westbrook was one section taller than him, and as he bounced back, there was a distance between the two. For a super scorer, this
Everything has created a good opportunity to take action.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Iverson's body suddenly sank. Such a strange movement was difficult for anyone to prevent. Westbrook's body was rising continuously. Westbrook yelled "Oops"
! Cheated!" He now understood that he had been fooled, but he was powerless in the air. He watched helplessly as Iverson passed by him and scored a jump shot. This was Iverson's signature move. In this
Before the season, when he was at his true peak, he used this move to defeat many opponents.
Westbrook is undoubtedly the most painful player on the court. He has to face the attacks of two versatile guards, Iverson and Yang Zhenxing, in turns. Iverson also uses his flexibility to strengthen his physical confrontation when breaking through.
Although he is not too strong, he still has a lot of impact when he breaks through because of his fast speed.
The main reason for Westbrook's several defensive failures is actually at this point. He used his quick changes of direction to squeeze out of his position, and then either scored a jumper himself or made a pass to his teammates. Iverson's performance won the ball.
In the favor of the fans in the stadium, Iverson established a fan base early. Iverson's performance aroused cheers from the fans. However, at this time, the Tigers were still 2 points behind their opponents. The game still had to be played. Then it entered the timeout period and came back from the timeout.
, it was Harden who returned to the court. Harden performed well after coming on the court. The two sides played very anxiously. At the end of the third quarter, they were trailing by three points 70:73.
The fourth quarter of the game is about to begin. The Tigers are just leading the fourth quarter. The three-point difference is nothing at all. A three-point ball can solve it. But the game is changing rapidly and anything can happen. At this time, no one can
Able to take it lightly at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Tigers Marbury, Arenas, Tracy McGrady, Yi Jianlian, O'Neal Jr.
The first ball in the fourth quarter was in Iverson's hands. He controlled the ball unhurriedly and unhurriedly through half the court. His speed was maintained at a relatively even level. His opponent
Since they have given up stealing, he will naturally not come up to cause trouble again. Iverson just controlled the ball after halftime and came outside the opponent's three-point line. Iverson passed the ball to McGrady.
McGrady faced Harden's defense. It seemed that the Thunder's third young master was ready to play the entire fourth quarter. He slowly put his shoulder on his chest, dribbled the ball, and then he used his left foot as the axis and moved his body
Suddenly turned to the right
"It's another jump shot." Harden quickly made a judgment in his mind. He knew that McGrady was his signature move. He immediately raised his hands and moved horizontally towards McGrady's left side. McGrady's eyesight went dark and he was caught.
Harden blocked
However, how could McGrady be guarded so easily? McGrady did not rush and made another fake move this time, just like he did many times.
Then McGrady quickly turned around again the moment Harden blocked it to his right, and his body turned to the left. At this time, Harden was completely too late, because Harden stepped a few centimeters outside the three-point line.
Let your body use the power of the floor to jump high!!
"Good shot" Phil Jackson was a little excited. They were still one point behind, and the game was still intractable.
Although this ball is not a three-pointer, hitting it from such a long distance also brings great confidence to the team's outside shooting, especially now when they are anxious.
Then came the Thunder's offense. Westbrook suddenly broke through Marbury's defense and went in!
