The way of the center

Chapter 416 Victory Without Orgasm

"Timeout, timeout!" Seeing that the small lead was filled by the Trail Blazers in a short while, Jeff Van Gundy, a cautious guy, immediately called a timeout.

Now that the Trail Blazers have begun to gain momentum, before the score is overtaken, it is time to interrupt the high-profile offensive frenzy of the Trail Blazers.

It doesn't seem appropriate to say that the Trail Blazers scored points by relying on an offensive frenzy.Their offense is indeed exquisite, but to tie the score in a short period of time, the Trail Blazers rely more on their defense.

The impatient Westbrook has begun to show his shortcomings, and his unsteady handling of the ball at critical moments has made him and the team fall into a passive situation.

"Russell, you take a break first, and I will send you on at the last moment. Bledsoe, then you control the ball, don't worry, play more cautiously. Ann has two more fouls and should be fouled out Now, give me permission to play with Ann, don't be timid!" Westbrook had no objection to Van Gundy's arrangement.Although he wants to continue working hard on the court now, this guy also knows that everything Van Gundy does is for the good of the team and himself.

In fact, at this time, choosing to use Derek Fisher to control the ball will be the safest way.It's just that what the Thunder need now is impact, so Van Gundy took the risk and used Eric Bledsoe, who has performed well this season and almost won the sixth man of the year.

I hope this young guy can control his emotions and complete his task well.

On the first ball after the timeout, Bledsoe did a good job.Although his impact is not as good as Westbrook, it is enough to make Felton drink a pot.

But unlike Westbrook, Bledsoe did not forcefully attack after breaking through, but distributed the ball again.

Breaking through the ball, this seems to be a very simple tactic.But in fact, if you want to execute well, the requirements for the offensive point guard are very high.

First of all, you must have enough impact to tear the line of defense.Second, you have to have enough finishing ability to alert people to attract defensive shrinkage.Finally, you also have to have a certain passing ability and court vision, because after the breakthrough, facing the shrinking defensive formation point guard will have very little passing space.

These characteristics, just Westbrook and the current Bledsoe can meet at the same time.

Durant came out again to catch the ball and shot without making any adjustments.Without Westbrook, Durant will naturally get more shots.And this low-key league scoring leader is actually very hot today.It's only because Westbrook's style of play is so eye-catching that people have the illusion that "Durant is in a normal state today".

Fans may have an illusion, but Gerald Wallace will not forget the balls KD scored on his head.Although this time was delayed by Ibaka's off-ball pick-and-roll, he still relied on his own efforts to squeeze Durant's shooting space to a minimum!
However, under the attention of fans all over the world, Durant still completed this shot that seemed to have no chance!This lanky forward can really shoot in various situations!
"It's okay, it's okay! They're just lucky!" An Jie's loud shout resounded through the audience, and all the players on the court heard this sentence clearly.An Jie said this not only to encourage Gerald Wallace, but also to deliberately provoke the emotions of the Thunder players.

The Thunder players on the field now, except for Bledsoe, know Anjie very well.They won't really get angry because of An Jie's words, they know that this brat's mouth is so poisonous, which is completely necessary for the game.

But Bledsoe, who is young and hasn't played with Angie for a long time, doesn't think so, luck?If you can only sit on the sidelines, maybe your mouth will not be so annoying!
So on the next defensive end, the one who paid for Anjie's words was still Felton.Bledsoe and the Blazers competed, and he pestered Felton, making Felton feel unable to move an inch.

Afraid of being intercepted by the strong Bledsoe, Felton dribbled the ball across half court and hurriedly passed the ball to Wesley Matthews at 45 degrees on the right wing.Matthews has opened his hands to catch the ball, and he has even been optimistic about the target of his next pass.

However, just as the basketball was flying, a blue-and-white lightning flashed out and lay across the passing path!
"Eric Bledsoe!" Mike Brin grabbed the microphone and exclaimed. Bledsoe was really too fast when he started it just now!

After the steal, he quickly rushed to the audience and completed the attack quickly.Bledsoe's layup was so easy that no one on the Blazers could match his speed.

"How is it now?" Bledsoe said to himself in his heart, and looked at An Jie maliciously.Unexpectedly, An Jie just looked at Bledsoe contemptuously.

"Continue to attack and attack, an occasional mistake is harmless!" An Jie's understatement made Bledsoe even more upset.

Mingming has already left Oklahoma, and he has not led the team to any honors in the Thunder, and even failed to make it to the second round of the playoffs.Obviously now, the team he led was beaten by him and couldn't fight back.but why! ?Why is this guy more popular than himself in Oklahoma!You know, he is a real Oklahoma City player, the best sixth man of the Thunder!
Maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's competitive.In short, Bledsoe doesn't have the slightest affection for An Jie in his heart.What's more, those words just now have greatly stimulated Bledsoe's nerves.He wants to launch a fierce attack, and he wants to let the proud guy An Jie rest!
Seeing Bledsoe's eyes gradually change, An Jie knew that he had succeeded.

Although the Thunder were recovered by two points by Anjie's turnaround jumper, they still took the lead.Durant feels that the burden on his shoulders is not so heavy. As long as he takes the lead, he feels that his pressure on the offensive end will be much less.

Calm movement, skillful escape.Durant felt relaxed, and he easily won space for himself to catch and shoot again.

Durant raised his hand and asked Brad for the ball.But this time, Bledsoe didn't look around for opportunities.Durant knew the look, he'd seen it on Westbrook's face a lot.This look means that Bledsoe only has the basket in his eyes!
Continuous crotch dribbles, constantly changing upper body swings.Bledsoe's fake action is not realistic, but it only needs a little hesitation from Felton, and he can use his faster speed and stronger body to tear through the defense!
"Pass the ball!" Van Gundy yelled in his heart, and Durant's chance was about to disappear!
"Swoosh!" Suddenly, Bledsoe's activation made him walk in front of Felton.

Felton bravely resisted Bledsoe with his chest, but as soon as Bledsoe put more force, he pushed Felton away!

After squeezing Felton away, Bledsoe drove straight in and went straight to the basket!Gerald Wallace didn't dare to let Durant take half a step, and Wesley Matthews gave Sefoloza too many opportunities today.Aldridge helped Anjie withstand the impact, but Ibaka's shooting made him hesitate again.

In the blink of an eye, Bledsoe has already entered the three-second zone.He started to hold the ball in a football motion, ready to take three steps, and attack the basket!
An Jie just stood in front of Bledsoe without giving in.Morris also raised his hand. If the ball was passed by Bledsoe, Morris could force a dunk immediately!

But like Durant's result, Morris was also ignored by Bledsoe.Bledsoe just wants to score by himself now, and just wants to show that stubborn guy Anjie whether they are strength or luck!
Even if he can't score a goal and let him commit a foul, An Jie will be afraid in the future.

Bledsoe gritted his teeth and jumped into the air!But to his surprise, An Jie didn't jump up to stop him, he just raised his hands high, and it seemed that his center of gravity was a little backward?

As soon as Bledsoe's body came into contact with Anjie, Anjie suddenly fell and slipped out of the bottom line.In the eyes of others, An Jie must have suffered a lot.But Bledsoe swears, he just touched Angie's!

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and he thought he had just seen it very clearly!Bledsoe's acceleration is so fast, and Anjie has stood still and has not taken off and violated, so this ball must be called an offensive foul!

"What!?" Bledsoe hugged his head. At first, he thought that he had successfully made Anjie suffer the fifth foul of the game.Little did they know, it was himself who suffered in the end!

"Hahahaha, wonderful, wonderful!" Divac, who was watching the game at home, laughed happily while holding a wine glass.If An Jie doesn't use it, if he uses a flop, it's definitely a top-notch performance!

"Are you okay!?" Aldridge and Gerald Wallace immediately rushed over to pull him up after seeing An Jie fell to the ground. What about An Jie's performance?

"I'm just...fucking hell!" Bledsoe shook his head as he backed off, and the rest of the Thunder didn't react much to it.An Jie's move has benefited the Thunder a lot before.They knew that sooner or later, An Jie would use this trick against them.

An offensive foul not only did not calm Bledsoe, but made the young man even more manic.If Anjie made a foul, Gandy could still bear it, but in the next attack, Bledsoe impetuously passed a pass directly to Aldridge, which made Van Gundy have to re-examine himself The employer chooses.

As always, the steady Blazers took advantage of Bledsoe's mistakes with their steady offense.Anjie assisted Felton, who cut inside, to make a throw. Ibaka jumped high and slapped the basketball, but the referee blew the interference ball, and the goal was still valid.

For the third time, Bledsoe, who was eager to break through but already full of loopholes, was directly taken away by Felton.Gerald Wallace forced a layup on the fast drive and drew a foul on Durant.Wallace made two free throws, and the Trail Blazers also overtook the score again!

The camera was on Durant at this point, although the taciturn guy didn't publicly blame Bledsoe, didn't show any expression on his face.But everyone knows that the league's scoring champion must be disappointed with Bledsoe's performance!
Consecutive mistakes at critical moments made the advantage that the Thunder had finally built up disappear once again.In desperation, Van Gundy had no choice but to let the "old fish" go into battle again.Whether it is to choose Bledsoe or Westbrook now, it is a risky move!
After Fisher came on the field, the Thunder were able to stabilize the situation, and their offense became orderly.But lacking a top breakthrough player to charge the Thunder, they can only use positional warfare to grind slowly with the Trail Blazers.Although Van Gundy is also a master of positional warfare, I have to admit that the current lineup of the Trail Blazers is even more handy in playing positional warfare!

Both sides come and go, each other has offense and defense, and the score also rises alternately.Durant made an emergency stop jumper here, and Anjie used another assist to allow Aldridge to continue his magical performance.Morris made a rare dunk against Anjie in the low post, and Gerald Wallace also scored with one of the few three-pointers.

The game has been very anxious, during which the two teams experienced a confrontation between the two teams, but Bledsoe, who was demoralized, was defeated by Jamal Crawford in this quarter.

In the last 4 minutes, the starting five tigers of the two teams reappeared and started a decisive battle.The Chesapeake Energy Arena is huge, and the fans are using their best efforts to cheer for the team.However.
"Another mistake! Westbrook lost the ball in the process of breaking through quickly with the ball! Indeed, this forced breakthrough is really too difficult, and it is not easy to control the ball. But in such a critical moment Time, hey!" Mike Brin sighed, and this time, even Durant shook his head slightly.He won't hate Westbrook because of this. Without Westbrook, Durant would not be able to stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.But at this critical moment, the ball just now was too much.
Unlike the Thunder's impatience, the Trail Blazers, after seizing the opportunity of making a mistake, were still organized and attacked steadily.Score in a not-so-pretty, but efficient way.

The Trail Blazers didn't seem to explode throughout the game, but relying on this slow wear and tear, and relying on the Thunder's mistakes again and again, this group of guys still unknowingly built a strong team. Advantage!

When the game was about to end with only 30 seconds left, the Trail Blazers had already led the Thunder by 6 points!

Chasing 30 points in 6 seconds is not impossible for the Thunder.However, when Durant's rush shot hit the frame and Morris's dunk was called a rebound foul by the referee, the originally lively Chesapeake Energy Arena suddenly fell silent.

This group of fans in Oklahoma City knew that the Thunder's failure was inevitable
