Kevin Durant is also very good, but in the paint alone, Leonard is enough for him to handle. Although Collison and Adams are also good inside players, compared to Derrick Favors
After all, they are still inferior. In addition, his competition experience is also pitiful. At this critical moment, how much strength can be used is probably a question.
Thunder coach Brooks was originally hesitant to substitute Serge Ibaka, but he didn't expect that **Vitch was so cunning and substituted Derrick Favors in time. Should he substitute Serge Ibaka now?
Guy Ibaka came off the court, and he was really unsure. Collison might not be able to do what he wanted when facing Derrick Favors.
"Shua" "shua", Chen Feng hit two consecutive free throws, helping the Spurs expand their lead to 4 points.
Now, there are only 28 seconds left for the Thunder. It is very difficult for them to recover 4 points in such a short period of time.
Thunder coach Coach Brooks requested a timeout to arrange the next attack.
After the timeout, the Thunder served from the frontcourt sideline.
Leonard blocked Reggie Jackson's serve, and the Thunder almost missed the ball.
After Kevin Durant received the ball, he quickly broke into the Spurs' interior.
The Thunder wanted to score a goal within four seconds, then defend against a Spurs goal, and finally score another goal to at least tie the score.
Kevin Durant passed the ball to Serge Ibaka, who turned around and made a jump shot.
This result made the home fans excited, while the Spurs were very nervous.
It only took the Thunder three seconds to complete this offense, so there were 25 seconds left before the end of the game.
Chen Feng slowly controlled the ball and advanced toward the frontcourt. On the one hand, it was because of Kevin Durant's forced defense, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay time.
So Chen Feng dribbles very slowly, or in other words, very steadily.
Almost eight seconds ran out before Chen Feng brought the ball across the frontcourt.
17 seconds, 16 seconds, 15 seconds...
The fans at OKC's home court were extremely nervous. They hoped that the Spurs would make a mistake at this time. Then the Thunder took advantage of this mistake and scored a three-pointer to complete the victory.
However, their hopes did not come true.
Chen Feng started to break through when there were only eight seconds left in the twenty-four seconds.
During the breakthrough, he scored the ball inside.
After Derrick Favors received the ball, he directly hit Perkins. After squeezing his opponent away, Favors wanted to dunk, but Perkins used his arm to prevent Derrick Favors from scoring a dunk.
For this, Perkins paid a foul.
Derrick Favors got two free throws.
The fans at the scene became noisy, and some began to complain about Perkins' foul.
However, many people are looking forward to it, because Favos's free throw shooting rate in this game is not good, just over half of the shooting rate!
Derrick Favors took a free throw, but to the dismay of the San Antonio people, the first free throw was missed.
The fans at the scene were in high spirits and while celebrating, they loudly booed Derrick Favors.
"Whoa", Derrick Favors made his second free throw.
This gave the Spurs a little peace of mind. In the remaining time, the Thunder could at most tie the score. It can be said that the Spurs were invincible.
The Thunder once again requested a timeout as they prepared for the final shot.
After the timeout, the Thunder once again served from the frontcourt sideline.
Kevin Durant bypassed Leonard and received Reggie Jackson's serve.
I saw Kevin Durant suddenly accelerate and break towards the basket.
At this moment, Kevin Durant had already tried his best, so even though Leonard also tried his best, he still couldn't stop Kevin Durant from getting to the basket.
Derrick Favors and Boris Diaw have long been prepared to guard Kevin Durant on one side and guard the inside on the other.
But just when everyone thought Kevin Durant was going to attack the basket, Kevin Durant passed the ball.
The one who caught the ball was Russell Westbrook who was ambushing outside the three-point line. The Thunder wanted to beat the Spurs with a three-pointer.
At this moment, Chen Feng was right in front of Russell Westbrook, but after receiving the ball, Russell Westbrook directly chose to jump up and shoot a three-pointer. Chen Feng immediately pounced on him, but he was still half a beat too late.
.
However, although Russell Westbrook's shot was not blocked, Chen Feng still interfered with him.
Everyone is staring at the orange basketball in the sky, including Chen Feng and Russell Westbrook.
The entire arena was silent, so eerily quiet that one could hear people's breathing at this moment.
Under everyone's eyes, that three-pointer hit the net directly.
The moment the basketball fell into the basket, the fans in the audience cheered, the Thunder players cheered, and even the coach Brooks cheered.
"Russell, Russell..." The fans in the audience shouted to Russell Westbrook.
No one expected that Russell Westbrook would hit this three-pointer under Chen Feng's full defense.
As Russell Westbrook hit this three-pointer, the game entered the second overtime.
…………
Coming to the frontcourt with the ball, Chen Feng did not force a breakthrough, but quickly handed the ball to Ginobili.
Facing a strong team like the Thunder, the style of play and tactics have to change from the previous ones. Flexible passing, active movement of outside players, and requirements for inside players to block positions, the game against the Thunder
is extremely important.
Ginobili made a feint, broke through the Thunder defender, and hit a mid-range jumper.
At this moment, the second overtime between the two teams has just begun, and this goal is the first goal scored by the two teams.
Therefore, the Spurs lead 2:0.
For the Thunder, Kevin Durant also hit a baseline jumper.
2:2.
After Chen Feng broke through, the ball was delivered to Wesley Johnson on the bottom line in time. The latter's three-pointer missed. Derek Favors easily picked up the rebound and backed Serge Iba.
stuck, advancing towards the three-second zone step by step.
Derrick Favors bent his left elbow slightly, blocked Serge Ibaka, widened the distance between the two, and easily hit a small hook.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Derek Favors wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Reggie Jackson pulled to the outside to set up a pick-and-roll for Kevin Durant. Under Chen Feng's defense, Kevin Durant was not as relaxed as in previous games, especially when breaking through.
After succeeding, Chen Feng appeared in front of him strangely again. After many failed breakthroughs, he could only rely more on the pick-and-roll of his teammates.
The Thunder have a lot of scoring players. In the past, many people said that the Thunder was only played by Durant... But after the Thunder Westbrook grew up and strengthened other positions, the Thunder already has many players who can score.
.
Kevin Durant quickly broke through from the center into the three-second zone, but Derek Favors was already waiting inside. Kevin Durant quickly broke through from the center into the three-second zone, but Derek Favors was already waiting inside.
Voss has already been waiting in the paint, seeing no good opportunity to take action. With Kevin Durant's playing style and the current opportunity!
Naturally, he would not take the shot so easily. With a flick of his wrist, the ball quickly flew into the hands of Serge Ibaka. At this time, Derrick Favors had already gone to guard Kevin Durant, and the others
Before the Spurs players had time to defend, he relaxed his arms and dunked the ball into the basket easily.
Chen Feng's midfielder passed the ball inside, and Derek Favors made a realistic fake move, easily deceiving Reggie Jackson, and the ball hit the board and went into the basket.
Kevin Durant's breakthrough pass and Russell Westbrook's three-pointer from the right wing.
A pass error by the Spurs led to an easy three-on-two between Kevin Durant, Reggie Jackson, and Russell Westbrook, and finally Kevin Durant hit a mid-range shot.
At 9:6, the Thunder led by 3 points, and now the Thunder controlled the situation on the court.
There were nearly four minutes left in overtime, and **Vic called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Spurs' Chen Feng was replaced by Patty Mills to take a breather.
McGrady replaced Ginobili.
The game continues, Spurs have the ball.
McGrady was one step away from the three-point line when he suddenly took off and shot. With a "swish" sound, he hit a three-pointer.
This three-point shot was so sudden that Russell Westbrook didn't expect him to dare to take it from such a long position.
At 9:9, the two teams drew.
Tracy McGrady is indeed a guy with a big heart! He who is not the core at this time dares to take action like this, but he risks being yelled at by *** Vicki!
One minute later, Chen Feng replaced Patty Mills.
For the Thunder, Kevin Durant was off the court, which allowed Chen Feng to be more aggressive in the game. Sefolosha's defense was good, but when facing him, Chen Feng was confident that he had the strength to suppress him.
of performance.
Westbrook quickly brought the ball across the half court and passed the ball just after the half court.
After James Jones received the ball, he dribbled the ball, changed direction and quickly rushed inside. Wesley Johnson appeared in front of him at almost the same moment. Seeing that there was no chance to take action, James Jones showed no reluctance at all.
, a step back, a long pass, the ball passed diagonally a quarter of the court, passed over the heads of two Spurs players, and was handed to Sefolosha on the right baseline.
The moment he started passing the ball, Derrick Favors had already realized the purpose of his pass, and he immediately moved outside to cover up. Anyway, with Jordan Hill inside, he only needed to cover up and give Chen Feng
Once they have time to relax, they can withdraw back to the inside line. (To be continued...)
