"Are we going to be defeated by the Thunder like this? Our lead ends here?"
Chen Feng asked himself in his heart, and the flame in his heart burned again.
He didn't know whether he could lead the team to promotion alone, but he could see that in order for the team to win, Favors supported the team's inside line by himself, fighting for forty minutes in each game until he was exhausted and injured.
Duncan has not recovered, but he came back immediately to help the Spurs hold up half of the sky inside!
Chen Feng doesn't know if he can persist, or how long he can persist. Ever since Parker was injured, he has averaged about 40 minutes per game.
Although Popovich has tried his best to rotate and try his best to allow Chen Feng to maintain his physical strength instead of overstretching his body to fight, Chen Feng can clearly feel his body.
But he didn't care about these things. After he became the core of this team, Chen Feng understood what he should do!
Fight and win!
Chen Feng walked outside the three-point line facing the basket and glanced at Tim Duncan on the inside. The latter understood the meaning of this simple look, so he immediately did what Chen Feng wanted——
He ran outside the three-point line and set up a pick-and-roll for Chen Feng!
Tim Duncan's pick-and-roll was quite good. He set up the pick-and-roll for Chen Feng, completely blocking Russell Westbrook who was defending Chen Feng, making it impossible for him to keep up with Chen Feng!
Chen Feng seized the opportunity when Russell Westbrook was blocked by Tim Duncan, immediately started to use Tim Duncan's restraint to spare Russell Westbrook, and used his own speed to throw away the opponent.
Serge Ibaka, who was covering himself, dribbled the ball into the Spurs' penalty area like a sharp sword!
At this moment, there is nothing in front of Chen Feng. Will he let this opportunity pass?
Of course not!
Therefore, after Chen Feng stepped into the penalty area, he immediately collected the ball and took three big steps, soaring into the sky like a Spurs team. He stretched his flexible body in the air and raised his right hand holding the ball high!
Chen Feng is going to dunk again!
However, at this moment, an accident happened again - a player suddenly jumped up from the right side of Chen Feng and extended his long arm towards the basketball in Chen Feng's hand.
"Bang!" Chen Feng suddenly felt an impact coming from his hand, and then his hand was empty, and he hit the basket with his bare hand. He was blocked!
When Chen Feng landed, he immediately turned his head and looked behind him. In front of him, there was only the player who was launching a fast break with the Thunder and wearing the No. 0 Thunder uniform-Russell Wei.
Brooke!
Chen Feng hurriedly ran back, but he was the last one to start. He could not catch up with other players and could only watch the Thunder team launch a fast break.
Russell Westbrook dribbled the ball into the Spurs' interior. Facing Boris Diaw in front of him, he did not choose to hit hard. Instead, he passed the ball to the unguarded Kayleigh outside the three-point line.
Vin-Durant!
After receiving the ball, Kevin Durant did not waste this opportunity to take a shot. He took off very comfortably and hit a hollow three-pointer!
95:96, the Thunder overtook the score!
At this moment, there is a strong sense of uneasiness in the hearts of all Spurs players. They are nervous and anxious. At this moment, who can help the Spurs? Who can?
Popovich immediately called a timeout - he understood that if he didn't call a timeout to stabilize the situation at this moment, the Spurs would definitely lose, and they might lose to their opponents by a big score!
"Damn it..." Chen Feng roared angrily, his eyes full of unwillingness and indignation——
If this dunk was successful, the morale of the Spurs team would definitely be greatly boosted! However, he was blocked by Russell Westbrook at the last moment, which in turn further affected the team's morale.
Shock! This feeling of going from boiling point to freezing point severely hit Chen Feng's self-confidence and self-esteem.
The game restarted and players from both sides took to the court again!
However, Popovich has adjusted the Spurs' lineup. He replaced Ginobili with Patty Mills and asked him to play point guard, while Chen Feng was returned to the shooting guard position.
!
After Patty Mills dribbled the ball past half-court, he immediately handed the ball to Chen Feng. After receiving the ball, the latter protected the ball at his waist, keeping his eyes on Reggie in front of him.
On Jackson!
Chen Feng suddenly raised his hand and looked like he was about to shoot a three-pointer!
Reggie Jackson saw this, and he, who was already tense, instinctively raised his arms and jumped up, hoping to block the shot and interfere with Chen Feng's shooting! However, after he jumped up, he realized that he had been fooled
Oh-Chen Feng didn't really jump up, but used the gesture of raising his hand to shoot to trick Reggie Jackson into jumping!
Chen Feng followed Jackson and jumped up, but this time he jumped forward and bumped his body into Reggie Jackson!
"Beep!" At the same time that Chen Feng's arm touched Reggie Jackson, the referee's whistle also sounded.
His body lost balance, but Chen Feng did not let the ball and his body fall to the ground. Instead, after hitting Reggie Jackson, he pushed hard with his right hand and threw the ball towards the basket!
"Whoosh!"
The ball thrown by Chen Feng actually fell into the basket hollowly.
"Yeah..." The Spurs bench suddenly let out excited and crazy shouts and cheers.
This three-pointer was so exciting! Not only did he send the ball into the basket in a difficult way, he also caused a foul on the opponent! The score was 3+1! Not everyone has such an ability.
It can be done!
Chen Feng added a penalty and scored a free throw!
Kevin Durant's touch seemed to suddenly become hot. He dribbled the ball all the way across the court, then stopped in front of Leonard and made a jump shot, and the ball went in.
Patty Mills organized the offense and roamed back and forth outside the three-point line. He was defended by Russell Westbrook. Under Russell Westbrook's defense, it was difficult for Patty Mills to do anything.
As. Therefore, Patty Mills did not find a chance for a while.
A hit pass, the ball reached the hands of Tim Duncan under the basket. Tim Duncan swayed twice, then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. There was a "bang", and the iron was struck.
However, Boris Diaw suddenly jumped up, pointed his finger, and put the ball into the basket.
The Thunder had the ball. Serge Ibaka handed the ball to Russell Westbrook. After Russell Westbrook dribbled the ball through half court, he broke through with the ball and then lobbed the ball.
The inside line is in the hands of Serge Ibaka.
Serge Ibaka swayed and missed the layup, and the Spurs grabbed a defensive rebound.
Then at this time, the referee's whistle sounded.
It's not that someone committed a foul, it's that someone was injured.
Serge Ibaka just missed a layup when he stepped on Boris Diaw's foot and sprained his foot.
Immediately, Thunder coach Brooks called a timeout and replaced Serge Ibaka.
After Serge Ibaka went off, Collison came on to replace him.
Chen Feng broke into the Thunder's interior, and it was Kevin Durant who came to defend him. Chen Feng passed the ball to Leonard behind him.
Leonard caught the ball and shot directly, hitting a three-pointer!
As time passed by, the Spurs still controlled the situation on the court, and the Thunder were never able to narrow the score gap to less than 5 points, which was basically around 7 or 8 points.
Russell Westbrook broke through with the ball, and Patty Mills tried to steal the ball, but the ball was not intercepted and instead he was charged a hitter foul.
The Thunder reorganized their offense. Russell Westbrook received the ball from the sideline and broke through Patty Mills, then made a layup.
The Spurs missed the attack, and after the Thunder grabbed the rebound, they launched a fast break under the leadership of Russell Westbrook and scored again.
Spurs head coach Popovich saw this and quickly called a timeout.
At this moment, there are only four minutes left before the end of the game.
The Thunder would have been extremely advantageous tonight because Derrick Favors was out due to injury.
But in the end, Duncan performed very well in his comeback, and Serge Ibaka was injured in the most critical fourth quarter of the game. In this case, their inside advantage was gone.
Without Serge Ibaka, the Thunder's inside strength will inevitably be greatly damaged, so during the timeout, Popovich told his disciples to play more inside.
After the timeout, the game continued. The Spurs replaced Patty Mills with Ginobili, while the Thunder replaced Reggie Jackson with Sefolosha.
As soon as the game resumed, the Spurs implemented the tactics Popovich talked about during the timeout.
Led by Tim Duncan, a strong inside player, the Spurs began their counterattack. Tim Duncan made two of two shots and scored 4 points, while Leonard also added the icing on the cake, hitting a three-pointer.
, helped the Spurs play a 7:0 mini-game.
After a while, the Spurs changed the score to 103:90, and the Spurs took a 13-point lead.
However, right after, the Thunder also launched a counterattack.
After several breakthroughs, the Thunder finally tore apart the Spurs' defense. Kevin Durant received an assist from Russell Westbrook and made a layup, recovering 2 points for the Thunder.
Patty Mills missed a baseline jumper and Perkins grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Thunder's offense still seemed orderly, and Russell Westbrook quickly brought the ball across the half. After halftime, Russell Westbrook handed the ball to Kevin Durant.
.
Kevin Durant played Leonard alone and saw no chance, so he chose to pass the ball. His abilities are now more comprehensive.
