NBA: The stars return to the peak, and the battle of the gods begins

The Big Three of the Heat returned to the court.

Mourning, Hardaway, and Shiro rested.

The two strong substitutes Adebayor and Butler continued to stay on the court.

For the next 2 minutes.

The two teams fought like a life-and-death battle in the last quarter.

Both sides adopted a full-court press, with real knives and real guns, and the confrontation was very fierce.

The increase in defensive strength did not affect the scoring of the two teams.

They are all scoring monsters, and it is obviously difficult to defend one-on-one.

However, in terms of competitive status, the Thunder are a bit inferior, they are too tired.

With their disadvantages on the bench, it is difficult for them to perform lineup rotation in a timely manner like the Heat.

Especially the Thunder's three juniors, they didn't rest for a minute after the end of the game, and the excessive physical exertion affected their performance.

With Westbrook making a pass error, the Heat seized the opportunity to counterattack successfully.

In the end, the Heat ended the first half with a 62:60 two-point advantage.

"Fack!!!" Westbrook roared violently.

Had it not been for his last goal error, the team would not have fallen behind.

Payton patted Westbrook on the head, then looked at the other main players with a smile and said, "Everyone played very well!"

"Of course we can play better."

"Come on guys!!!"

Peyton's words boosted morale, and Thunder Thunder nodded vigorously.

Don't look at Payton who always loves to talk trash on the court, it's just for opponents.

For his teammates, Payton said words of positive encouragement.

This is why the Thunder have been building teams around him for more than ten years.

Thunder executives believe that Payton is very suitable as a team leader.

Facts have proved that Payton is indeed a very good team leader.

He led the Thunder to the finals, but it was a pity that he met the comeback Joe at the wrong time, and lost to the Bulls 4:2 in the finals.

Heat coach Riley knows how to encourage players.

He high-fived James and the others as they walked off the court.

"Nice job, lads."

"Keep it up, we must let them leave with their tails between their legs."

Players from both sides walked back to the locker room.

The cheerleaders put on a show.

Lin Nan was not idle either, and many fans at the scene asked him to sign autographs and take photos.

The popularity of the scene, he is close to James.

Strictly speaking, Lin Nan's popularity is even higher than that of James.

Proper popularity king! ! !

During the intermission, Lin Nan ran backstage to answer a phone call.

Wait for him to come back after answering the phone.

The third quarter has reached 3 minutes and 22 seconds.

The current score is 88 to 93, and the Thunder is temporarily behind by 5 points.

In the next round, the Thunder attacked.

Basketball is in Durant's hands.

At this point in the game, Durant finally began to strengthen his personal offense.

In the first half, Durant put more energy on defense, after all, the Thunder has no shortage of offensive players.

Payton and Kemp are both good scorers.

Coupled with Harden, Westbrook and Westbrook have won 5 scoring titles together, and their offensive firepower is not weak at all.

But when playing key balls, the two are often offline.

This is also the reason why Durant has been accumulating strength, and he has always been uneasy about these two little brothers.

"bang bang bang"

The ball in Durant's hand was fiddling back and forth, and James was defending him. Choosing a frontal hard bar would damage Durant's physical strength.

Therefore, he chose to end the battle with a shot.

And he has to shoot three-pointers. Now that the team is behind by five points, it is undoubtedly faster to choose to shoot three-pointers.

"Bang bang bang".

Durant uses the dribble to adjust the rhythm of the offense.

James has also seen Durant's intentions, and he is ready to take off and block Durant's shots at any time.

The next second, James jumped up to block the shot, and he saw that Durant had already jumped up.

During the Thunder period, Durant's shots were almost impossible to block.

He is tall and has long arms and a high shot point. Even James can't block it. He can only interfere with Durant's shooting as much as possible.

After completing the shot, Durant kept his shooting gesture.

It wasn't until he saw the basketball fly into the hoop that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and let out a low growl.

This kind of point-chasing ball is too critical. If you can't score, it is very likely that the Heat will continue to open the score.

At 91:93, Durant helped the Thunder forcefully bite the score.

This is not over yet, James missed a three-pointer, Ibaka grabbed the rebound and handed it to Payton, Payton quickly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then he passed the ball to Durant without hesitation.

The person who feels the hottest in the team now is Durant, and it is wisest to give him the ball.

It was still James defending Durant. This time Durant tore apart James' defense in a large disguise.

He took a step forward and pulled up for a jumper.

James chased to block the block, and when it was about to block, the ball in Durant's hand flew out.

Shua~~~ The ball is scored.

At 93:93, Du Shaoshuai helped the Thunder tie the score.

Durant did not celebrate this time, but made a hand gesture to the referee.

The meaning is obvious, James had a thug when defending him just now.

"Nonono, Kevin, you can't deceive the referee like this." James shook his head again and again with an innocent expression.

"Do you dare to say that there are no thugs?" Durant pouted his head and asked.

"I haven't." James spread his hands, his stance was very firm.

It is necessary, if he really admits the thug, then he will not only get four fouls, but also be scored by Durant.

Durant rolled his eyes, he knew that James would definitely not admit it.

Therefore, he wants the referee to give himself an explanation.

The referee didn't think that James had thugs just now, Durant expressed dissatisfaction with the penalty, and he strongly demanded to watch the video again.

James protested, saying Durant was being vexatious.

Players from both sides came around and started chattering.

The Heat players naturally help James to seek justice, and the Thunder players naturally want to seek justice for Durant.

Mourning began to show off his scary biceps. If he made a shot, none of the Thunder players could withstand it.

The scene was full of gunpowder.

The referee was so scared that he quickly separated the players from the two teams.

In order to convince the crowd, the referee could only go back and watch the video.

Soon, the scene of Durant shooting just now appeared on the big screen hanging above the court.

You can vaguely see James chasing and blocking the shot. He is suspected of being a thug Durant is shooting.

For example, Lin Nan, who was sitting on the sidelines, also thought that James was wronged by Durant.

In fact, no, James really fouled the thug.

But James felt wronged, and he spread his hands to express that he was not a thug.

Not to mention Lin Nan, even the referee almost believed it.

It can only be said that Zhan Huang's acting skills are not inferior to those Oscar winners.

Durant made a free throw and he hit it steadily.

At 94:93, the Thunder took the lead by one point.
