At the moment when Derrick Favors came out to defend, Sefolosha glanced at the flying ball, lightly held the basketball with his right hand, and with a slight exertion, the ball quickly flew back in the direction it came from, Derrick -
Favors watched helplessly as the ball flew over his head.
Reggie Jackson jumped up slightly and quickly picked off the ball. He bent his body slightly and leaned his back tightly against Jordan Hill. With a slight exertion, he slightly opened the distance between the two.
The right wrist holding the ball is raised high. Judging from his posture, it is completely preparing for a hook shot.
Jordan Hill didn't dare to slack off. After being knocked away, he immediately put his body close to him again. A force was passed from the two bodies in contact, and he actually put pressure on Reggie Jackson. You must know that before the player takes action
At that moment, the body's defense is the most vulnerable. When you lose your position, the chance of shooting the ball is much lower than jumping to defend.
Reggie Jackson's right wrist quickly moved behind his back, and the ball hit the ground lightly. It bounced to Adams just in time. At this time, there was no one guarding him. He shouted, jumped up high, and then made a rather violent dunk.
At 11:11, the two teams drew again.
Derrick Favors and Chen Feng looked at each other helplessly. Unknowingly, the Thunder had mastered the rhythm on the court.
The Spurs' baseline serve, Chen Feng quickly brought the ball across the half court. Sefolosha, who was guarding Chen Feng, couldn't help but panic when he saw Chen Feng. Just now, Kevin Durant and Chen Feng were off the court for such a long time.
He saw all the confrontations.
Chen Feng easily broke through Sefolosa with a change of direction. After his first step of activation, Chen Feng was already determined. With his own speed, as long as he activated himself, in such a short distance, among the league's
Never think that anyone can catch up with you.
Chen Feng didn't panic at all when Reggie Jackson made up the defense. He was already prepared, supported the ground with his right foot, quickly turned around, and suddenly leaned into Reggie Jackson's arms. His hands were flat.
The ball flew straight out of the inside and was handed to the unguarded hands of Tracy McGrady on the right wing. The latter caught the ball and jumped, but unfortunately, he failed to hit the ball.
Reggie Jackson's left-wing jump shot missed. Adams made a tip-in first, but failed to make a hit.
Chen Feng shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc. There was a "bang" sound, and Chen Feng's three-pointer also hit the ground.
Adams missed a strong attack under the basket. Derrick Favors' right elbow gently touched Collison's waist, and the ball gently fell into his hands. A long pass was passed to Chen Feng, who was already ambushing in the midfield.
, and scored a layup all the way.
At 13:11, the Spurs led by 2 points.
Sefolosha used the cover of his teammates to get rid of Chen Feng's defense, directly attacked the Spurs' basket and succeeded in a layup.
At 13:13, the two teams drew again.
Derek Favors received a pass from Chen Feng, dunked and caused a foul on Collison, successfully making the score 2+1.
The Spurs fans burst into warm applause. The Spurs have been passive during this period, so the Spurs fans are also worried. Now that they see the Spurs gradually regaining the situation, they are naturally very happy.
This made Coach Brooks a little unable to sit still, and ran to the sidelines several times to give instructions. Sefolosha's current performance under Chen Feng was abnormal, which greatly frustrated the team's offense.
Sefolosha made a pass error, and Derrick Favors easily intercepted the ball and made a long pass across half the court, assisting Johnson for a layup.
Wesley Johnson's layup helped the Spurs regain the initiative.
At 18:11, the Spurs led by 7 points.
Coach Brooks quickly sent Kevin Durant back onto the court, and Serge Ibaka also replaced Collison.
As soon as Kevin Durant returned to the court, he hit a three-pointer over the head of Leonard who had just come up.
At 14:18, the Thunder were only 4 points behind.
There is only one minute left.
The Spurs missed another attack, and the Thunder recovered another 2 points with the fast break of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Spurs head coach **Vic saw this scene and quickly called a timeout.
If adjustments are not made, victory will definitely fall into the hands of the Thunder.
But unfortunately, the Spurs' offense did not improve after the timeout.
Derrick Favors missed a layup, and the Thunder once again grabbed a defensive rebound.
At this time, there are 20 seconds left before the end of the game.
Coach Brooks requested a timeout.
No one expected that this game would go into two overtimes.
And looking at this situation, the two teams may have to play three overtimes.
The timeout ended quickly. This time, the Thunder did not attack quickly, but took time.
The ball was held by Russell Westbrook, who waited until there were six seconds left on the clock before taking action.
Using continuous changes of direction to break through, Russell Westbrook got rid of Chen Feng, who had little energy left, and then rushed towards the Spurs' penalty area.
At this time, Boris Diaw naturally stepped in to cover the defense.
But in this case, Serge Ibaka will be free.
Russell Westbrook passed the ball directly to Serge Ibaka. The Thunder wanted to score 2 points, which was more secure.
Serge Ibaka quickly took action after receiving a pass from Russell Westbrook.
Because there is not much time left before the end of the game.
While the basketball was still spinning in the air, the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
But after the whistle sounded, there was a "swish" sound, and all the fans cheered.
Serge Ibaka's mid-range shot made the two teams enter overtime again.
This overtime is the third overtime between the two teams in this game.
The third overtime began quickly, and it was the Thunder that won the jump ball.
The Thunder's first offense was very fast. Russell Westbrook shot directly from outside the three-point line. Not only did he hit the ball, he also caused a defensive foul on Ginobili.
Three plus one!
The Oklahoma fans went crazy. At the beginning of the third overtime, the home team played at such a level, which is undoubtedly a lucky thing.
"Whoa", Russell Westbrook's extra free throw hit.
4:0, the Thunder scored 4 points in just five seconds, which was a 4-point lead over the Spurs.
**Vicci couldn't help but sigh and shook his head when he saw this scene.
Although I knew this game would be difficult to play, I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Three overtimes are extremely rare in the entire NBA playoff history.
The Spurs' first attack in the third overtime was fruitless, and the Thunder grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Thunder's offense and defense transitioned very quickly. Kevin Durant came back and shot a three-pointer. To the Spurs' surprise, he actually made it too.
Not even a minute into the third overtime, the Spurs were already trailing 0:7. This was undoubtedly a huge tragedy for them.
**Vicci quickly requested a timeout to adjust the team.
Holding the ball and advancing towards the frontcourt, Chen Feng felt very bitter at the moment.
The morale of the team, when they were unable to stop the Thunder's fast break, several young players from the Spurs had already begun to think about giving up in despair. They watched the opponents easily shuttle around them one by one, constantly running and bombarding them.
Basket, such psychological pressure can be imagined.
In order to regain the lost points, the most important thing at the moment is to rekindle the team's fighting spirit. Nothing can boost morale on the court more than scoring. A beautiful score is definitely more tangible than a successful defense.
When his teammates were obviously out of shape, the burden of scoring naturally had to be shouldered by himself. I remembered the encouraging look in Coach Vicki's eyes before the game. Although he didn't say it, Chen Feng still understood the look in his eyes.
What it means is that the following ball is the top priority of the game. As long as the ball can be sent into the basket beautifully, there is still room for success in this game. If it fails again, the morale of the military will undoubtedly suffer another setback.
, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to get the score back.
Kevin Durant's attention has always been on Chen Feng. With his understanding of Chen Feng and Chen Feng's super reading ability of the game, he must know the importance of the following goal to the Spurs. Now the Spurs'
Almost all outside shooters have lost their self-confidence. For a shooter, self-confidence is the most important. It is even higher than luck. Luck can accompany you for a while. Only self-confidence belongs to you. A shooter who lacks self-confidence,
He doesn't have the ability and courage to make the final decision at the critical moment of the game.
Although Derrick Favors has been trying to counterattack, he lacks the support of outside players and Serge Ibaka does not dare to relax his defense, allowing him to focus more on getting stuck under the basket.
, and the protective surface of rebounds, there is no extra energy to invest in offense.
What's more important is that the Thunder completely cut off the communication between the Spurs' inside and outside through quick defensive rotations, making it difficult to pass the ball in. The most competitive place on the basketball court is the penalty area under the backboard.
It's not just your skills and good health that will give you an advantage. The cooperation of your teammates and timing are indispensable. The quality of the Spurs' outside passes is not high.
After receiving the ball, it was difficult for Derrick Favors to find a comfortable shooting position. While he was constantly adjusting his position and looking for opportunities to shoot, the Thunder's insiders had already taken preventive measures against his offense.
As a result, time was wasted.
Having made up his mind, Chen Feng no longer had any hesitation in his heart. Looking at Kevin Durant a few steps away in front of him, Chen Feng felt a hundred times more confident. Regarding Kevin Durant's experience, he had always
He is deeply afraid, but his speed is obviously not as good as his own, so the defense is much weaker for Chen Feng, and he can break through beautifully. (To be continued...)
