Ibaka showed off his power, attacked the UAE and scored a goal
The Tigers began to change their tactics after this attack. Iverson once again took on the task of passing the ball. The main attackers became the twin towers of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian inside.
Yao Ming, who has advantages in both height and technology, can be said to be very good at playing against Perkins. Last year's Thunder's iron barrel showed obvious regression when the Thunder came to the Thunder. Of course, it was mainly due to the difficulty in offense. He still worked very hard defensively.
But facing Yao Ming, he seemed helpless. In less than three minutes, Yao Ming hit him three times in a row, including a double dunk.
Another inside player, Yi Jianlian, was not so lucky. Ibaka was as strong as Xiaoqiang today. No matter how hard Yi Jianlian used his strength under the basket, he remained unmoved.
Even trash talk was automatically blocked by his ears. Occasionally, a few words came out of the guy's mouth. Who can't understand the bird language? Yi Jianlian was exhausted, but he still looked like he was very relaxed.
Maybe Yi Jianlian is still wondering, why is this fight so strenuous?
At the end of the first quarter, the Tigers led the home team by 6 points
"What happened to them today? They didn't attack. They only thought about defense. Why did Ibaka work so hard today?" Yi Jianlian drank a few sips of Gatorade as soon as he got off the court. During the fight with Ibaka just now, he
It took a lot of energy
Phil Jackson spoke at this time: "It doesn't matter. If they keep playing like this, it will be beneficial to us. Their substitutes are not strong. We can take advantage of this. When their main players are almost exhausted, we will
Take the opportunity to win this game in one fell swoop. In the second quarter, Stephen, Albert, Vince, you guys, play hard in the second quarter and try to expand your advantage in the second quarter.
As he spoke, Phil Jackson glanced at Arenas. He was worried about Arenas' condition. His performance in this round of the series can only be said to be average.
The game started quickly in the second quarter. The Tigers sent Marbury, Arenas was double open, Carter served as the small forward, the power forward was replaced by Grant Hill, and the Thunder replaced the main center O'Neal Jr.
Substitute player, but Durant was still on the court for a period of time in the second quarter. As expected, the Tigers took advantage of their many scoring points and hit a 10:2 spurt at the beginning. As a result, the Thunder fell behind by 13
separated
Brooks' strategy of strengthening defense is correct, but it's a bit confusing when he replaces Durant. After all, Durant is the Thunder's last threat on the court, and they are still lagging behind. Is Brooks still there?
Are you going to let Durant conserve his energy? Durant has already rested for a while in the first quarter. With his physical strength, he can complete the second quarter. Westbrook and Harden returned to the court.
With Durant not on the court, Carter's offense suddenly seemed much more comfortable. Facing substitute players who were obviously unable to keep up with his speed, Carter scored consecutively and even performed a signature dunk.
Brooks reluctantly called a timeout and replaced Thor Durant! At this time, the score on the field had become 35:25, and the Tigers expanded their advantage to double digits!
"You haven't given up yet? It's too early for me to be proud!" Carter was very proud of his performance just now, thinking that even if Durant returned to the court, he would not be able to stop him.
Durant's expression suddenly became serious. As soon as he finished speaking, he received a pass from Westbrook. Almost immediately after receiving the ball, he moved immediately. His movements were incredibly fast.
Seeing Durant's actions, the Canadian Flyer's expression changed. Just when he was about to react, he felt a gust of wind blowing past him.
Every time he defended Durant, he felt helpless! Is he really old? He couldn't. He had obviously returned to his peak, but he still let Adu break through. Carter secretly sighed, Durant
It's really fast
Although Durant successfully broke through, Carter behind him was still chasing back quickly. At least in terms of speed, the two of them were comparable.
The Thunder's two inside men, Perkins and Ibaka, were working hard to push O'Neal Jr. and Grant Hill away from the basket, creating more space for Durant and waiting for Yao Ming to get rid of Perkins to fill the position.
It was already too late, Durant almost forced a shot against him and hit the ball.
"Blocking foul, extra penalty!" The referee made the penalty without hesitation. This time it was Yao Ming's foul.
For the first time in this game, Durant's face showed a smile of victory. He walked to the free throw line. Without pausing with his right hand, he bent his legs slightly and shot the ball. The score difference returned to 7 points.
Seeing their boss score three points, the scene became lively again. Thunder fans loudly shouted and booed every Tigers player. It seemed that they wanted to tell them that with the support of fans at home, the Tigers could not win.
Old Carter was not upset after being successfully attacked. He continued to play at his own pace. The two sides then played in a stalemate. It could be said that the outcome was not decided. Soon the game reached the official timeout period of the second quarter. During this time, the Tigers' substitute
The stars played very well. The point difference is now 9 points. The situation is obviously more favorable than the Thunder.
After the timeout, it was the Tigers' offense. When Yang Zhenxing quickly dribbled the ball past half-court, Harden came up to him and couldn't wait to start the fight.
Yang Zhenxing's offense relied on speed, and Harden's defense also relied on speed. The continuous offense and defense made the fans excited to watch. Although Yang Zhenxing forced Harden back a few steps, he still couldn't find a good shot.
Chance
Harden didn't dare to be sloppy in his movements, but in his heart, Harden was quite emotional. He had tried his best, but Yang Zhenxing still seemed to be able to do it with ease.
While Harden was sighing with emotion, Yang Zhenxing's movements changed again. After turning his back, he forcefully took off and leaned back to take action!
This time, Harden did not slack off at all and immediately blocked the ball. Knowing that he did not have the advantage in height and could not block the ball, Harden wisely chose to block Yang Zhenxing's sight, that is, to block the ball.
At this moment, the corner of Yang Zhenxing's mouth slightly raised, and with a press of his wrist, the ball flew straight to the basket. The Thunder insider, whose attention was attracted by the continuous battle between Yang Zhenxing and Harden, also neglected the defense of the basket.
When the basketball was passed to Yao Ming's hands, Perkins was at least one position away from Yao Ming! "Bang!" Yao Ming's extremely easy two-handed dunk brought the score difference to 9 points again.
Yao Ming's dunk aroused huge boos from the audience. "Good shot!" When passing by Yang Zhenxing, Yao Ming did not forget to give a thumbs up to Yang Zhenxing who assisted him.
Seeing Yang Zhenxing running towards his own half, Westbrook let out a sigh of relief and reached out to Perkins for the basketball. Then Harden came forward to ask Westbrook for the ball. Westbrook knew that Harden had just been beaten.
In a one-on-one battle, he would definitely be unhappy and give the ball to Harden.
Now, he must regain his face! He felt that he was obviously teased by Yang Zhenxing in that ball just now
"Come here! James, use your full strength to attack!" Yang Zhenxing's eyes even revealed some hope!
Harden's attack was so fierce that many fans present stood up. They eagerly hoped that their god would teach this arrogant and ungrateful boy in front of them.
The speed of Harden's sudden impact surprised Coach Brooks off the court.
Harden usually doesn't work so hard. It seems that he was aggravated by Yang Zhenxing. I don't know if this is a good thing. As a result, Harden's physical strength will be troubled in subsequent games.
Thinking that Harden would soon be as tired as a dead dog, Brooks became angry and pointed his sharp eyes at Yang Zhenxing. If looks could kill, Yang Zhenxing would have been killed by now.
It's just a pity that Yang Zhenxing can't notice the depressed Brooks now. All his energy is focused on defending Harden. Harden's speed arouses resonance in him! Yang Zhenxing also uses it almost subconsciously.
No one can compare with his full strength and speed. Yang Zhenxing thought about irritating Harden and making him attack with all his strength. One aspect of Yang Zhenxing's consideration was to consume physical strength. The other aspect was that he really wanted to have a real relationship with the strongest Harden.
Let's compete, neither side holds anything back, let's see who is more powerful.
The bodies of the two parties were already in contact, and they were constantly performing various offensive and defensive movements in a small space. The two quickly staged a close-quarters speed hand-to-hand battle. Yang Zhenxing felt very excited. This feeling he only encountered when
Wade only had it during the Kobe Bryant era. In the first three games with the Thunder, Yang Zhenxing and Harden didn’t have many direct confrontations. This time, Harden returned to the starting lineup and there were naturally more opportunities for the two of them to compete against each other.
The fierce confrontation between the two made the fans present consciously hold their breath. People were praying that James Harden could win the contest. After turning around, Harden showed his excellent body control ability.
He turned his back again in succession. Although Yang Zhenxing used his speed and agility to block it in time, it was almost impossible for Harden to immediately take a left cut. Harden is a left-handed player. It is obviously very difficult for Harden to do this kind of action.
Skilled, Yang Zhenxing is difficult to defend
At this moment, Yang Zhenxing's body has lost its center of gravity. There is no way to stop Harden who is already starting at full speed. After all, his defensive experience is still too little. In addition to relying on excellent speed, his skills are obviously insufficient to compete with Harden.
The fight lasted for so long entirely because of his terrifying speed and immediate reaction ability.
