Chen Feng, who had always had a high hit rate before, held the ball, and his teammates pulled away, seeming to let Chen Feng continue to play in isolation. Chen Feng also continued to hold the ball and make a powerful breakthrough, attracting almost all the Thunder's defensive attention.
Perkins was preparing to help defend Chen Feng, who was breaking through at a high speed, but ignored Kawhi Leonard next to him. After that, a very classic scene unfolded. Chen Feng saw Kawhi Leonard in the open position and passed the ball.
Kawhi Leonard made a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.
"This little guy is getting more and more surprising." After saying that, Popovich shook his head helplessly. What happened to him? He would never praise others like this before!
Kawhi Leonard's goal directly forced the Thunder coach to call a timeout. After this timeout, it is estimated that the head coaches of both teams will make adjustments to the lineup.
The timeout ended quickly, and the two teams made adjustments to their lineups. However, Chen Feng still stayed on the court, partnering with Manu Ginobili in the Spurs' backcourt.
Currently, the Spurs' lineup on the court is: Derrick Favors, Boris Diaw, Kawhi Leonard, Chen Feng and Manu Ginobili.
The only reliable substitute defender for the Spurs right now is Mills, but Mills' performance today was really... ugh!
The game continued, the Thunder had the ball, and Russell Westbrook controlled the ball. While sitting on the bench, Russell Westbrook was pondering Chen Feng's technical characteristics in order to find a breakthrough point.
, beat up Chen Feng.
Russell Westbrook is really that kind of smart person. After this short period of time, Russell Westbrook really found some flaws in Chen Feng. Chen Feng is very used to breaking through from the center or the right wing.
, rarely breaks through from the left wing, and when dribbling mistakes are made, it is always when breaking through from the left wing. Another point is that Chen Feng is easy to stagger and make fake moves. This is a sign of lack of experience.
A sneer flashed across the corner of Russell Westbrook's mouth. He used a fake move, and Chen Feng was really passed by Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook used this flaw to directly pass from the left wing.
Breakthrough into the inside line and succeeded in a layup.
Chen Feng wiped the sweat off his face and muttered in his heart that he could not be fooled again. Chen Feng broke through with the ball, but Russell Westbrook was already ready. Russell Westbrook blocked Chen Feng from the right wing and
The route to break through from the middle. Chen Feng had no choice but to break through from the left wing. However, he was not used to breaking through from the left wing. Therefore, under the pressure of Russell Westbrook, Chen Feng made a mistake and was beaten by Russell.
-Westbrook made a steal.
Russell Westbrook was extremely excited. He dribbled the ball like lightning and rushed into the opponent's basket for a layup. When Russell Westbrook scored 4 points in a row, the Spurs took the lead.
After quickly shrinking, the lead was only 7 points.
Popovich frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he immediately saw Russell Westbrook's wishful thinking. Russell Westbrook always used fake moves to lure Chen Feng into being fooled, and Chen Feng did the same.
There were consecutive losses, and Russell Westbrook always forced Chen Feng to the left wing. All of this was seen by Popovich.
Chen Feng is not a stupid person. He soon discovered Russell Westbrookâs intention, so whenever Russell Westbrook forced himself to the left wing, he would choose to pass the ball, but he took a fake
In terms of action, Chen Feng couldn't avoid it.
After Russell Westbrook received the return pass from Perkins while running, he directly made a shooting action. Chen Feng immediately pounced on him. Russell Westbrook sneered and paused until Chen Feng
Chen Feng shot the ball when the wind hit him. Although the ball did not go in, Russell Westbrook fouled Chen Feng and won two free throw opportunities.
Popovich quickly called a timeout and replaced Chen Feng with Patty Mills. Chen Feng walked off the court dejectedly and took the drink handed by the staff. He drank it in a big gulp and then slapped the substitute on his butt.
On the table.
My defense today seems to be out of shape!
Russell Westbrook used this time to score 6 points in a row and sent 2 assists. The score gap had been narrowed to 5 points, and Popovich had to replace Chen Feng to make an appropriate decision.
adjustment.
Currently, the score on the field is 80:75, and there are only 6 minutes and 41 seconds left before the end of the game.
Being pushed to the bench by Popovich, Chen Feng was very unhappy and was holding a ball of fire in his heart. This game has been going smoothly since the start of the game, but at this critical moment, something went wrong. Chen Fengjue
Don't allow your perfect performance in this game to be wiped out by the flaws just now.
"It seems that we should continue to strengthen our ability to break through from the left wing. One more thing, why do we always stumble?" Chen Feng sat on the bench, lowered his head and muttered to himself in thought.
"Any questions?" Popovich sat down next to Chen Feng and asked with a smile.
Chen Feng nodded slightly and replied apologetically: "Greg, I think I may have taken the game too seriously and my mentality is not very good!"
Popovich smiled and glanced at Chen Feng. Popovich focused his attention on the court again, with a nervous look in his eyes.
"Manu Ginobili dribbled the ball into the Thunder's penalty area, OK, nice layup." The on-site commentator explained while wiping the sweat from his face, which was obviously caused by being too nervous.
"The Spurs still have a 7-point lead, but there is still a lot of time, and the Thunder still have a chance." Another commentator said with a smile.
"The Thunder are playing extremely fiercely now. It seems they are eager to take revenge on the Spurs, haha..."
Russell Westbrook broke through the baseline and slid past Manu Ginobili's defense for a layup, but was served by Derrick Favors. Perkins grabbed the offensive rebound and missed the tip-in.
, the rebounding maniac Ibaka grabbed another rebound and passed it to Kevin Durant on the outside. Kevin Durant made a horizontal breakthrough and shot, the ball went in, and it also caused a foul on Manu Ginobili's beater.
, the additional penalty was also hit.
The Thunder were only 4 points behind. The Spurs players looked solemn and did not dare to be careless. Manu Ginobili controlled the ball after halftime and passed the ball to Kawhi Leonard, but
The passing intention was directly seen by Serge Ibaka, who jumped up and pushed the ball into the hands of Reggie Jackson.
Reggie Jackson didn't pass the ball after getting the ball, but dribbled the ball and ran wildly towards the Spurs half. However, Manu Ginobili was not slow in his movements and quickly followed up to defend. However, Ray
Jim Jackson is much taller than Manu Ginobili, and he is also very good at playing alone against Manu Ginobili. Manu Ginobili secretly complained in his heart, how can he defend against this?
Even so, Manu Ginobili still carried Reggie Jackson to prevent the opponent's attack. Reggie Jackson pushed Manu Ginobili away with one strong push. Not only did he succeed in dunking, but he also caused
Defensive foul on Manu Ginobili.
Popovich's breathing was a little short, and he was obviously very worried about the Spurs' situation. If Reggie Jackson made a free throw, the Spurs would only lead their opponents by 1 point, and there were still more than 4 minutes left before the end of the game.
The suspense of victory and defeat becomes infinitely greater.
Fortunately, Reggie Jackson missed the extra free throw, and Derrick Favors grabbed the backboard and handed it to Kawhi Leonard. However, Manu Ginobili, who had been performing well before, again
A fatal mistake occurred. After receiving a pass from Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili dribbled through and was intercepted by Russell Westbrook. Manu Ginobili attempted to counterattack.
Came back, but paid another foul for it.
The Spurs have already committed four fouls in the fourth quarter. As long as there is one more foul, the Thunder can make free throws. Manu Ginobili's foul was also his fourth foul in the game.
Popovich immediately called a 100-second timeout, glanced at Manu Ginobili, and then looked at Chen Feng with a determined look in his eyes.
"Chen Feng, you come on instead of Manu Ginobili." Popovich folded his arms in front of his chest and said seriously to Chen Feng.
After listening to Popovich's words, Chen Feng was immediately delighted. The coach must have affirmed his ability by letting him play at this time.
Chen Feng didn't think too much and quickly ran to the court to replace Manu Ginobili. When Manu Ginobili walked off the court, his eyes showed hope and he whispered to Chen Feng: "Man, please
You must win."
"I will try my best." Chen Feng pursed his lips and replied sincerely.
Manu Ginobili nodded and quickly returned to the bench, while Chen Feng clenched his fists and walked onto the court.
The game continued, and it was still the Thunder attacking. Russell Westbrook glanced at Chen Feng, then looked away, thinking in his mind: "I have found your flaw, you have lost this game."
But even so, Russell Westbrook did not dare to be careless at all. He believed that he had found the opponent's flaw, but generally speaking, the opponent's ability was more outstanding. If he did not take it seriously, he could easily be completely defeated by the opponent.
Exploding, this is the second most important thing is that you may even lose the game because of your carelessness.
Russell Westbrook carefully controls the ball, breaks through and distributes the ball. Perkins receives the ball and then sets a screen for Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook slides the baseline to receive Perkins.
After a wonderful pass, he went for an empty layup, but missed.
