The China Power of NBA

After the timeout, unexpectedly, Brooks did not send Harden to solve Westbrook's dilemma, but sent D'Quinn Cook.Cook was once the 2009 All-Star Three-Point Contest champion, and his long-range shooting ability is beyond doubt. This season's three-point shooting percentage reached 42.2%!

The effect of Cook's playing was also immediate. Paul's main energy was to pinch Westbrook. The latter attracted a double team. With a flick of his wrist, the ball was passed to Cook. There was no one within 300 meters. Naturally, Cook would not miss such a good opportunity. He took a bow and shot an arrow, and scored three points in terms of statistics.

The second half of the game started, and the players on both sides were full of fighting spirit. Unexpectedly, this turned into the beginning of Bai Xiaofei's nightmare!
Westbrook once again used the change of rhythm to pass Iverson. Paul was afraid that Cook's three-pointer did not step forward to pinch, and Westbrook jumped directly for a layup!Bai Xiaofei quickly pulled away to block the shot!
The moment the two of them came into contact, Westbrook was "slammed" to the ground by Bai Xiaofei's heavy body!
"Doo! Defensive foul! Westbrook made two free throws!"

This is Bai Xiaofei's second foul!
Westbrook stood at the free throw line, arms raised high like a winner, ready to free throw.

Taking advantage of this gap, Paul walked over from outside the three-point line, put his finger on Bai Xiaofei's ear, and said,

"Bai, their current tactic is to hit Westbrook's inside breakthrough. If your inside defense is not good, someone will cover the defense, and Westbrook will distribute the ball to Cook outside the three-point line. , when you defend Westbrook, you must pay attention to the rising angle of your body. Outside the circle, it must be straight up and down, especially your arms. Don't make any downward movements. You have to look at Westbrook When the timing of the shot, send the block! This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, I hope you can do it well!"

Bai Xiaofei nodded heavily!

"Co-defense! Co-defense! Bai! Pay attention to your co-defense!"

Williams yelled anxiously.

Westbrook's breakthrough ability is one of the best in the league. It is impossible to restrict him by being close to a player, so the big man's inside defense is very important. If Bai Xiaofei can't do a good job in assisting defense, There must be players to supplement the defense, and there will be vacancies on Cook's side. For him who has won the three-pointer championship, the open three-pointers are at his fingertips. Therefore, Bai Xiaofei's defense is very important. If it is not done well, the entire defensive strategy of the Hornets will be disrupted, and the reason why it affects the whole body is very clear to everyone.

Westbrook made two free throws steadily.

The game at this time has completely entered the rhythm of Westbrook, continuously attacking the inside, Iverson's defense is as fragile as a donut to Westbrook, Westbrook turned back and passed Iverson, Taking off for a layup, Bai Xiaofei didn't step forward to block the shot, but took off vertically to interfere with Westbrook's shot. However, during the fall, Bai Xiaofei's arm hit Westbrook's shoulder. Sbruck immediately fell to the ground, making a painful appearance!
"Shh!"

Go in!

"Dudududu!"

Hornets No. 2 defensive foul!Westbrook adds a free throw!
"Shh!"

Westbrook two plus one!

The Hornets are already seven points behind at this time!Facing Westbrook's turbulent offensive, the leader of the Hornets, Chris Paul, stood up!

Paul was facing Cook's defense. In terms of defense, Cook was not even a star behind Safolosha. Paul's continuous and large changes to CROSSOVER completely stunned Cook, and then he went to the basket or Take points directly!Or draw a foul from your opponent!

Westbrook missed a strong three-pointer. Paul took the defensive rebound and galloped to the enemy's belly. Cook clung to Paul tightly to prevent him from taking an easy shot. Paul killed from the three-point line. Going to the basket, and then going back to the three-point line from the basket, there is no good opportunity. The defensive transition is not successful. Seeing that he is about to fall into a positional battle, Paul stands outside the three-point line and waits, seemingly waiting The other teammates were in position to play. Cook was afraid of Paul's breakthrough, so he stepped back and loosened his defense. Paul immediately shot a three-pointer!

"Shh!"

It has to be said that Paul's grasp of the opportunity to switch between offense and defense on the court is second to none in the league. Whether it is offense or pass, rush or shot, Paul knows better than anyone else. Although Westbrook is also the top point guard in the league, but in the game In terms of rhythm control, Westbrook is still far behind Paul!

In the next round, Westbrook still missed a three-pointer. Bai Xiaofei grabbed the defensive rebound from Aldridge and Green and passed it to Paul. Paul took a closer look and saw that Cook turned his back on Paul. Retreat to one's own position, this is a defensive taboo in transition from offense to defense!Paul would miss such an opportunity!I saw him galloping behind Cook with the ball, making continuous left and right breakthroughs. Cook ran forward, but twisted his neck and watched Paul make a breakthrough as if it were fake. He kicked his right foot and fell to the ground!

Paul actually shook Cook down abruptly!
Facing Cook lying on the ground, Paul didn't even look at it, and went directly to the basket for a layup to score points!
In just 3 minutes, one three-pointer, three breakthroughs and one mid-range shot, Paul led an 11::0 scoring climax by himself, and instantly overtook the score. He was seven points behind the Thunder, but now he is four ahead of the Thunder. point!
The Thunder request a timeout!

The DJ made the audience noisy, and the aura that Hornet had managed to gather just now disappeared in an instant.

Back from the timeout, the Thunder changed, Westbrook and Durant both rested, Peterson played the first position, Safolosha the second position, Harden the third position, Green was the fourth position, and Kos was the fifth position Titch.Obviously, the main offensive points of this lineup are concentrated on Harden and Green.

But as far as this game is concerned, Harden's touch is not good. Thornton's close defense has an effect. Harden missed consecutive mid-range and long-range shots, but Paul's touch is hot, and Safurosha's tough defense is tough. Make a strong three-pointer!
The Hornets scored seven points for the Thunder in two lines!Paul scored 14 consecutive points alone!
Harden is a player with a very high quotient. When his shooting touch is not good, he chooses to hit the inside more. Harden's body is not as strong as Westbrook, but he has more ghosts than Westbrook. It was a foul, Westbrook rushed forward with the explosive bag on his shoulders, Harden took the initiative to lean on Bai Xiaofei, the two of them were like the relationship between a fly and poop, Bai Xiaofei couldn't hide!

Harden hit the inside twice in a row, all of which caused Bai Xiaofei's fouls!Bai Xiaofei has already fouled four times!The remaining 5 minutes of the third quarter will definitely not be able to play, and they can only watch from the sidelines. The Hornets request a timeout, replace Bai Xiaofei, and play Brykins.

Everyone's attention on the court is on Paul, who feels extremely overheated, but Brykins doesn't like this. When he comes on the court, he doesn't pass the ball at all. He singles out Krstic when he gets the ball, just because of his statistics. Able to surpass Kostic!

Brykins dribbled the ball to the free throw line and made a strong shot before getting rid of Kostic's defense. This time, the reluctant shot was naturally rejected by the basket. West struggled to grab the offensive rebound and made a back pass. To the point guard Briggins, Briggins made another shot!
"when!"

Another strike!West pressed Green to grab a rebound again!West also tried his best this time, treating himself as a blue-collar servant!This time he didn't give it to Briggins, but passed it to Iverson on the outside.
Seeing Briggins' performance, Williams shook his head slightly.

The Hornets hit a 16:4 scoring climax, leading the Thunder by 6 points!
The Thunder still couldn't block Paul, and Paul's hand felt so hot!Continuously swaying on the outside with false moves, Safurosha tried hard not to lose his defensive position, but Paul took off directly, forced Safurosa's defense and scored a three-pointer!Paul forced a three-pointer from the top of his head. Known as the "defensive champion", Safforosa couldn't hold back his face. He returned to the position and wanted to change another one. He shot a three-pointer but failed to score. , Paul scored a defensive rebound!Transported to the frontcourt, without even looking at Safurosha who was defending, he jumped directly!shoot!

"Shh!"

The basketball made another hollow hit!

Paul shakes his fist!Frowning!Roar to the sky!

Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul, this is the duel between the two top point guards in the league. Paul also wants to let them see that his title of "League's No. [-] Point Guard" is not in vain!

All the Thunder fans in the arena shut their mouths. In their impression, Paul will always be the league's No. [-] point guard who is steady and experienced in passing the ball. In this "crazy" state, Paul is the No. [-] point guard. See you next time!
The Thunder had no choice but to call a timeout again to stabilize the momentum. When the timeout came back, Iverson began to exert force and succeeded in breaking through three times in a row. However, only Harden made a mid-range shot in the Thunder. At the end of the third quarter, the Hornets had already taken the lead The Thunder scored as many as 16 points!
Hornets have won?Don't rush to celebrate, there is still one person who didn't give full play throughout the game. He is not incompetent, but is making a wedding dress for his teammates, and when he rushes forward, almost no one in the league can stop him from scoring!
He is Kevin Durant!
