Chapter 92 Against Megatron!

The Thunder had the ball, Westbrook was unstoppable after receiving the ball, and the thunder and lightning rushed to the basket!
Oladipo passed!The little Nance who made up the defense!The helicopter in the penalty area took off, the tomahawk smashed the dunk, and smashed the basket angrily!Get a head start for the Thunder!
Thunder 2-0 Lakers!

After scoring the goal, Westbrook did not roar and celebrate as usual, but returned to defense calmly.

The home fans haven't even recovered from Westbrook's one-on-five breakthrough dunk just now, and Westbrook has calmly returned to his own half.

The narration is a little blurry.

"Today Westbrook's taste is both right and wrong!"

"As usual, he scored a dunk in the opening game and was designated to clench his fist and scream, but today he is so overtaken?"

"It's enough to see that Westbrook really wants to win today!"

Zheng Long walked to the front court unhurriedly, motioned Oladipo to receive the serve, and came to Westbrook on his own initiative.

This is for military training Westbrook!
Zheng Long looked directly into Westbrook's eyes, and Westbrook also stared back.

Silent contest!
The starting players sent by the Lakers today are Oladipo, Zheng Long, Ingram, Nance Jr., McGee, while the starting players of the Thunder are Westbrook, Anthony Morrow, Andre Robertson, Ibaka, Adams.

The Lakers got Oladipo from the Magic one step ahead of the Thunder, which then caused a butterfly effect. Ibaka still stayed with the Thunder this season.

After Oladipo received the serve, he came to the frontcourt and immediately threw the ball to Zheng Long, who wanted the ball with his back on the flank. Westbrook clung to Zheng Long from behind, holding his waist with one hand.

Westbrook's defensive ability is hard to describe in one word. In college, because Westbrook had no basket, he focused on defense at the beginning. He was also selected as the Pacific League's Defensive Player of the Year in his sophomore year. He was also selected to the All-American Defensive Team.

But after entering the Thunder, the Thunder lacked even more organization. Westbrook gradually shifted the focus on the court to organization and scoring.

But Westbrook's innate physical fitness is excellent, with a height of 1 meters and a wingspan of 91 meters. His jumping, speed and explosive power are at the historical level among guards.

Being talented means that as long as you are active enough, your defense will not be too bad.

Therefore, Westbrook's defensive efficiency when he first entered the league has always been the tallest guard among guards. It was not until the knee surgery in the 13-14 season that his athletic ability declined, which led to a year-by-year decline in defensive ability.

This is also one of the reasons why Westbrook went to the Lakers and gradually became a defensive black hole-the body is not good.

Although Westbrook is still at his peak, with his current defense, trying to stop Zheng Long is tantamount to fantasy!

After Zheng Long received the ball with his back, he shook his shoulders, turned around directly, elbowed out the way, and forcibly used his strength to push Westbrook away to create a shot space, and made a jump shot with an emergency stop!

Thunder 2-2 Lakers!

"You can't defend me, Russell, why don't you use another person to guard me, and save energy for your own offense."

"Saudi Ap!"

Wei Shao interrupted Zheng Long's words, with determination on his face.

On the other hand, when Zheng Long returned to the defense, a smile of "successful tricks" appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Westbrook's violent temper is indeed very aggressive. I am afraid that the Thunder will change to someone to defend me, so as to save Westbrook's offensive strength.

But as I said this, even if Donovan, the head coach of the Thunder, said it, it is estimated that Westbrook, a stubborn donkey, would not switch defenses with his teammates.

This is Westbrook's arrogance and self-confidence.

It is also the deadliest place for Westbrook.

In the next few minutes, Zheng Long's thoughts were quickly confirmed. Both Westbrook and Zheng Long became the core of the team with the ball.

The Thunder attacked Westbrook and the Lakers attacked Zheng Long. The two staged a one-sided offensive battle.

Westbrook couldn't restrain Zheng Long at all. Under Westbrook's defense, Zheng Long took a step back and shot, turned around and stopped to shoot, counterattacked with the ball and changed hands in disguise. When the first quarter was fixed at 5 minutes and 13 seconds, Thunder coach Donovan called the first timeout.

Because Zheng Long had scored 13 points in a single quarter at this time, on the other hand Westbrook made 7 of 1 shots under Zheng Long's defense and only scored 2 points.

If it weren't for the Thunder's several possessions, Ibaka made a three-pointer and Adams completed a second attack at the basket.

The score will be the Lakers 13:2 Thunder, and now, the score is the Lakers 13:7 Thunder, half of the quarter has passed, and the Thunder's score has not broken through double digits.

"Donovan should have called a timeout long ago."

"Let Westbrook calm down."

"Several times against Zheng Long's defensive hard shots, this is a bit of a waste of the ball!"

Donovan stroked his chin and comforted the furious tortoise: "Russell, you've consumed so much on the defensive end that you lost your touch on the offensive end and Zheng Long handed it over to Andre."

Westbrook shook his head resolutely, and said, "Head coach, I can guard against him, no need to change."

"It must be changed!"

"No need to change!"

Westbrook stood up directly, his face flushed, and the players around him were afraid to speak out. In Donovan's eyes, there was anger that the authority of the head coach had been shaken, and more helplessness.

Before coming to the Thunder to coach, Donovan had coached in the NCAA for 19 seasons, and he came to the Thunder last season.

The Thunder were Donovan's first team in the NBA.

I remember that when he came to the team at the beginning of last season, Donovan had seen Westbrook's temper in a team training session.

Westbrook is the most competitive and competitive player I have ever seen. He will work hard to complete all the tasks and goals you set.

But if it's something he has decided on himself, you won't be able to pull it back even if you say it, you can only wait for him to figure it out.

When the timeout ended, Donovan simply said to Westbrook: "Russell, I know you want to win, but no one on the team traveled all the way from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles to lose."

Westbrook's heart moved, but his expression didn't change.

In another offensive round of the Lakers, after Zheng Long reached the top of the arc with the ball, Westbrook followed up again.

"Russell, I guess Donovan asked you to switch defenses with Robertson, right?"

Westbrook raised his head with a surprised expression, but did not reply.

Zheng Long had an affirmative answer in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is really stubborn, Westbrook.

Then let me show you the difference between the two of us.

Zheng Long dropped the ball at the top of the arc, and Westbrook pressed forward. In an instant, Zheng Long saw the loopholes under Westbrook's footsteps.

Dribble forward, pull the space, make a false shot with one hand, and then shake Westbrook up, then turn around on Westbrook's body and break through from the flanks to the inside!
This time, Zheng Long didn't choose to shoot a jumper directly, but faced the Thunder's shrinking inner defense and forced a layup!

In an instant, the sky and the sun were covered in Thunder's restricted area, and countless pairs of big hands wanted to cover it!
But it was the opportunity in the cracks that Zheng Long found in the air. Using his powerful ability to stay in the air, he changed hands again in the air!
At the same time, grab the ball with one hand and make a layup for a slam dunk!

Bang! ! !
One-arm dunk!

No, there is Sea King Adams in front of him!

One-armed battle ax buckle! ! !

This ball undoubtedly ignited the Staples Arena. From the perspective of the audience, after Zheng Long passed Westbrook, two people were hung on his body abruptly, and he even completed a dunk against the center!
Moreover, the referee blew the whistle!
Made a gesture. It is judged that the thug is fouled!

Still an and one!

Live broadcast barrage.

【this!At once!yes!buckle!basket!king! 】

[Slam Dunk King can no longer describe Zheng Long's awesomeness, this is the Dunk King! 】

【. I'm so embarrassed by you, brother, you read too many fantasy novels, right? Later, there will be a slam dunk king, a half-step dunk saint? 】

【Hahahahahaha】

Zheng Long came to the free throw line and looked back at Westbrook. Westbrook's expression was really confused by the ball he just made, and he doubted his life.

Maybe at this moment, Westbrook is struggling, or just listen to Donovan and switch defenses.

With Zheng Long scoring a free throw, the Lakers 16:7 Thunder, the lead has come to 9 points, is about to break through double digits, and Zheng Long's single quarter score also came to 16 points.

Jokic, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was still pulling Butler to reminisce about Zheng Long's goal just now.

"It's been a long time since I saw Brother Long be so domineering on the court. It seems that the two of us restricted Brother Long's performance on the court. From now on, we will be like today. Throw the ball to Brother Long and we'll be done."

"What did the team spend so much money to ask you to come here?"

"."

Kobe on the side was amused by the duo, and he was also looking up at the replay of Zheng Long's goal on the big screen.

It's really like when I was young!

It's a pity that I can't compete with the kid on the court.

This is Kobe!
If it was James, seeing such a talented player, he might think that it would be great if he could play with me
During the Thunder's offensive round, Westbrook held the ball and came to the front court without saying a word. This time, before Zheng Long stepped forward to defend, the zombie made a three-pointer!

in!

Sudden hemostasis three points!

Lakers 16:10 Thunder!

Westbrook, who scored this goal, was suddenly enlightened when he saw the scoreboard on the big screen.

I came here to win today, not to be angry with Zheng Long.

In the next Lakers round, Westbrook took the initiative to come to his younger brother Robertson, "Andre, Zheng Long will leave it to you."

Robertson has long been prepared to defend Zheng Long, which is also one of the preparations before the game against the Lakers.

Because Robertson is the backbone of the Thunder's defense.

Robertson, who entered the league 2013th in the first round in 26, was also the best defensive team and best defensive player in the United States just like Westbrook in college.

Unlike Westbrook, Robertson has mediocre talent on the offensive end, so after entering the NBA, Robertson only focused on defense, and after a short adaptation period, he gradually gained a firm foothold by relying on his defensive ability, and became a solid starter for the Thunder.

When an NBA player averages less than 5 points per game and shoots only 42% from the free throw line, he can still start.

Suffice it to say it all.

And this season, Robertson's selection to the best defensive team is a certainty, it's just the difference between the first team and the second team.

Originally, Robertson saw Westbrook and Donovan arguing, thinking that he would not let himself defend Zheng Long for the whole game, but he didn't expect Westbrook to turn around so quickly.

But the tacit understanding was at ease, and without asking too much, Robertson just gave Westbrook a look of "you can rest assured".

then.

In the next offensive round, Robertson was tricked by Zheng Long's fake move and missed it with one step.

Yes.

One step was missed!
However, Zheng Long didn't feel good about this ball, and he hit the iron.

Off the court, Donovan originally smiled when he saw Westbrook and Robertson take the initiative to switch defenses. After seeing Robertson also being passed by Zheng Long, the smile froze on his face.

For a while, Donoan comforted himself by talking to himself.

"It's okay, it seems that I can't guard against it, but it actually limits Zheng Long's touch."

this moment.

Donoan had brought himself to accept the fact.

Zheng Long is unstoppable.

In fact, after watching many videos of Zheng Long before, Donovan has already understood this point. There are many teams in the league with stronger defense than the Thunder.

He can't defend the Spurs, the Grizzlies can't defend, the Cavaliers can't defend, why can you defend the Thunder? !
It's just that people always have a little unrealistic fantasy before the facts come to them.

Maybe, I'm the special one?
However, the reality is always too cruel.

Of course, as Donovan said, although Westbrook and Robertson's defense changes failed to change the situation of Zheng Long's slashing.

But let Westbrook devote himself wholeheartedly to the offensive end.

Zheng Long's one-on-one positional battle is indeed invincible.

However, Westbrook's one-man fast break with the ball after taking off the rebound was also unique. After calming down, Westbrook rationally avoided Zheng Long when the Lakers retreated.

The Thunder's game has become smoother, and Zheng Long is still digesting every ball possession.

当第一节比赛结束，湖人25:21雷霆。其中，郑龙第一节独砍22分1助攻，威少则是在第一节砍下了11分4篮板3助攻。

"At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily took a 4-point lead."

"Zheng Long's data is 22 points and 1 assist, completely carrying the team's offensive end on his shoulders!"

"Since Butler and Jokic joined, we have seldom seen such a full-fledged Zheng Long on the offensive end!"

"Westbrook's data is 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. According to this trend, he must be heading for a triple-double today."

"Today's game is good. It seems to be a game between the Lakers and the Thunder. In fact, Zheng Long and Westbrook are competing on the court!"

During the rest time, Zheng Long sat on the seat and took a deep breath to adjust his breathing.

The 12-minute game was full, and both the defensive end and the offensive end went all out. It felt like a 12-minute long-distance race, with occasional [-]-meter sprints.

Mainly - it's been a long time since I've played so hard.

The body was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Sure enough, even if it is a precise machine, if it is stopped for too long, there is a danger of rusting.

During the break, Zheng Long didn't care what Wharton said or what his teammates were doing next to him.

in a trance.

Zheng Long felt that he had entered a magical state.

Empty everything in my mind.

There are only two words "score".

Seeing the basketball in the hands of the referee not far away, I felt an uncontrollable impulse in my heart.

Put that damn basketball in the hoop again and again!

Temporary time is over!

Zheng Long stood up and walked directly to the court alone.

This scene stunned the Lakers players and Walton, Zheng Long only left them a back view.

"Brother Long, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, why do I have the feeling that Brother Long is going on the court to kill people?"

"What?"
