Therefore, Durant's defense in the low post has always been the Thunder's biggest concern. Once Serge Ibaka left the basket, the Spurs took the opportunity to attack the basket.
Facing the double-teaming of Sefolosha and Westbrook, Chen Feng calmly handed the ball to McGrady. Chen Feng, McGrady and Leonard were arranged outside the three-point line, passing the ball like a tactical training.
The ball pulled the Thunder's defense back and forth, showing great patience in the offense.
Affected by the tense atmosphere, the fans in the audience couldn't help but fall silent.
At the last moment, Chen Feng's tiredness seemed to be gone. With his skillful ball control, he sank slightly and was ready to go. His muscles tensed up all over his body, like a cheetah foraging for food. His lightning-fast breakthrough made him
Westbrook was shocked.
He took a step back, but Chen Feng did not appear at the position he judged. Instead, he took a step back, tapped the ground with his left foot, and wanted to fly into the air.
Westbrook had lost his defensive position at this time and had no time to think about it. He quickly jumped up to block Chen Feng's shot.
At this time, there was no basketball in his eyes, and he looked at Chen Feng who was smiling below him.
Westbrook naturally knew that he had been tricked, and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to force his body to move a few centimeters in the air. But how could Chen Feng let the duck fly away again? Even though Westbrook was in the air with thousands of
Although not as capable as Chen Feng, he is not as flexible as the down-to-earth Chen Feng.
Just turning his body slightly to the side, Chen Feng's body hit Westbrook.
The thrown basketball flew straight into the air. With Chen Feng's physical strength at this time, after causing the opponent's foul, he could no longer send the ball into the basket without losing his balance.
The referee's whistle sounded. At this time, Chen Feng got three free throw opportunities from Westbrook.
All the fans were watching the scene in disbelief. Westbrook had always cheated others into fouling, but today he was actually cheated into fouling. Moreover, this was the most important Western Conference finals.
The Thunder's dugout was suddenly silent. All fans knew what these three free throws meant. With a three-point lead, the Spurs could rely on these three free throws to seal the victory. Chen Feng's free throws are always full of confidence.
guarantee.
Many fans closed their eyes. They didn't want to see the opponent score. There were also many fans who booed Chen Feng loudly as he was preparing to take a free throw, but these were nothing to Chen Feng.
Taking the ball thrown by the referee, Chen Feng patted the ball gently twice. He took a deep breath and his body sank slightly. He lifted the ball above his head with both hands and shook his wrists slightly. The basketball followed his fingertips.
fly out.
The basketball spinning in the air carried the hopes of countless people. Even some Spurs fans at the scene closed their eyes, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and prayed.
"Shua", ripples arose on the calm lake surface, and the Thunder team's rest area suddenly became gloomy.
The Spurs fans who were praying opened their eyes in surprise. The scene on the court just now, and the sound of the basketball being dropped could be heard throughout most of the court.
In the frustrated expressions of Thunder fans, Chen Feng once again completed the free throw, and the ball fell steadily into the bag. There was no doubt that the five-point advantage had pushed the Thunder to a desperate situation.
When Chen Feng was about to make his third free throw, coach Brooks called a timeout. Although Chen Feng missed the free throw very accurately, he still called a timeout. After all, this was the Thunder's last chance.
Taking advantage of the last opportunity, the Thunder made adjustments to the lineup. The five players on the field are: Serge Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Durant, Westbrook and veteran Fisher.
"Shua", the clear voice reached Coach Brooks's ears, making his face wrinkle even more.
"Haha, all three free throws were made. I missed two free throws before. It's really frustrating." Chen Feng sighed to himself as he prepared to defend Westbrook.
Westbrook broke through with the ball, and then passed the ball to Reggie Jackson, who had just come on. Reggie Jackson held the ball and wandered around the top of the arc. At this time, the Spurs players focused their attention on the outside, but ignored it.
Westbrook quickly penetrated to the inside.
Kevin Durant soared into the air in the paint, waving his wings like a roc, gently picked up the basketball passed by Westbrook in the air, twisted his waist in the air and dunked it with both hands.
130:134, the Thunder are still 4 points behind the Spurs.
The Spurs' attack was fruitless, and Serge Ibaka grabbed a defensive rebound.
Next, the Thunder's offense was handed over to Serge Ibaka inside.
In this offense, Serge Ibaka's position was further inside, and the offense suddenly became very aggressive. He feinted continuously and got away from Derrick Favors, and then he hit Derrick Favors.
made a dunk on his head and caused a defensive foul on the opponent.
After letting go of the basket, Serge Ibaka roared.
Serge Ibaka's free throws are very stable, and he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to tie the score. And his performance before was not very good. At this moment, with his 2+1, the team can tie the score.
Chasing 133:134.
"Whoa", Serge Ibaka's free throw went in.
133:134, the Spurs only led by 1 point.
Thunder fans all stood up excitedly, and some Spurs fans also began to worry whether the team they supported would suddenly collapse.
..." I don't know which Thunder fan suddenly shouted, and for a while, such shouts were heard in several places in the Thunder rest area.
Derrick Favors was naturally unhappy when Serge Ibaka dunked a ball on his head. In the next Spurs offense, he made a small hook with his back to Serge Ibaka.
Unfortunately, after the ball was released, it was touched by Serge Ibaka's fingertips. The ball bounced twice in the basket, but it still didn't go in.
Derek Favors' attack was very sudden. Boris Diaw had already run out to support the outside players, and he was blocked by Serge Ibaka. He could only watch the rebound fall to Serge Ibaka.
Card in hand.
There is more than a minute left before the end of the game, and the scene has already arrived.
As soon as Westbrook received the ball, he found a pair of eyes staring at him. Westbrook grabbed the ball with one hand and glanced around. The person who met his gaze was Chen Feng.
Westbrook's physical strength is almost exhausted now, especially in the confrontation with Chen Feng. He doesn't understand why Chen Feng's physical strength is so good and how he can still support himself on the court.
You know, Chen Feng didn't take much rest in this game, and this was the Western Conference finals. The physical confrontation was very intense. Westbrook would naturally be confused if a yellow man could gallop on the court for such a long time.
In fact, what Westbrook didn't know was that Chen Feng was almost at the point of exhaustion of physical strength. It was only Chen Feng's support that kept him from falling.
Westbrook felt annoyed and wanted to play Chen Feng alone, but unfortunately he couldn't find a chance. So Westbrook handed the ball to Serge Ibaka inside. After the latter caught the ball, he relied on Derek Fei
Voss came up with another hook unexpectedly.
Unfortunately, the basketball spun around in the hoop and bounced out of the basket.
Chen Feng pushed through the crowd and grabbed the defensive rebound.
McGrady broke through and passed the ball to Leonard on the baseline. Unfortunately, the pass was interfered by Durant and intercepted by Reggie Jackson.
"Return to defense quickly!" Chen Feng yelled and quickly retreated.
Fortunately, the Spurs responded promptly and did not allow the Thunder to make this fast break.
Serge Ibaka's inside shot, Durant easily shot from outside the three-point line, but unfortunately still missed.
Derrick Favors' jump shot, the ball circled the basket twice but still didn't go in.
"**!" Derrick Favors cursed angrily. He couldn't score such a goal. No wonder he was so unwilling.
Serge Ibaka grabbed the rebound first and made a long pass. At this time, only Kevin Durant and Leonard were left running wildly in the Spurs' half.
Kevin Durant blocked Leonard with his hand and then caught Serge Ibaka's pass. However, under Leonard's full defense, he had no chance to attack.
Kevin Durant posted up Leonard and made a turnaround jump shot, but unfortunately he still missed. The rebound was grabbed by Chen Feng who ran back to the backcourt.
In the last two minutes, both sides suddenly felt cold, and several attacks ended in a blacksmith.
The whole game officially entered the countdown period, and all the fans became more nervous. The audience in front of the TV seemed to be even more nervous than the fans at the scene.
Chen Feng held the ball to organize the offense. After the ball was handed to Derrick Favors, Chen Feng quickly ran.
Derrick Favors turned around and made a jump shot, but missed. Chen Feng grabbed the offensive rebound and then shot decisively. Although he missed, it caused a foul on Serge Ibaka.
"Wow..." There were deafening boos in many places. It was obvious that they came from Thunder fans.
Chen Feng withstood the boos and made the first free throw into the basket.
Immediately, the players of the two teams were called back by their respective head coaches to prepare the final tactics.
After a while, the players all returned to the field.
Chen Feng took the second penalty, and Thunder fans booed fiercely, but the home fans immediately suppressed the boos.
Although Chen Feng heard those damn boos, he did not feel any discomfort and easily sent the second free throw into the basket.
133:136, the Spurs led by another 3 points.
There is not much time left for the Thunder, with less than 40 seconds left.
The Thunder wanted to attack one, but the Spurs' defense was extremely tight, even though they didn't have much energy anymore. (To be continued...)
