super small forward

Chapter 615 615. Overtaken

Billy Donovan doesn't have as many players as D'Antoni can use. If this stalemate continues, it will be impossible to play against the Thunder.

If the Thunder want to win, they must find opportunities to play their advantage in the main force, otherwise they will have no way to play from the bench!

The Thunder have almost used their offensive routines. If they want to win at this time, they can only start on defense.

The Thunder players also understood this very well. After Westbrook scored a three-pointer, he began to go around Liu Ren, the Lakers' first point of possession in the previous few rounds, to prevent Liu Ren from receiving the ball.

Antetokounmpo sends the ball to Clarkson.

Clarkson took the ball and ran quickly. Antetokounmpo gave Liu Ren a pick-and-roll. Clarkson immediately passed it to Liu Ren who ran out. Liu Ren kept the ball and threw it directly to Monroe inside. The shot hits.

Both sides kept scoring goals, and the game started to get tense again. However, the Thunder shot three points and the Lakers scored two points. The Thunder were both in the game, but they slowly narrowed the score until the end of the first half. The Lakers led the Thunder by 61 points 57 to 4.

D'Antoni didn't have any pressure at all. Kobe, Green, and Whiteside didn't play, and they all led by 4 points. The Thunder team played almost the entire first half. The advantage is too obvious. Halftime When he talked about the need to attack well in the second half, he asked the players to communicate by themselves.

Soon the second half of the game began, and the Lakers went first.

The Lakers sent a combination of LaVine, Kobe, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Green, ready to kill them in the Thunder's rotation in the third quarter.

However, unexpectedly, Coach Donovan continued to send Westbrook and Durant on the field. The Thunder sent Westbrook, Andre Robertson, Durant, Ibaka, and Adams. Strong lineup.

This is really unexpected. Both the juniors have almost played the first half, and they will continue to start in the third quarter?
LaVine dribbled forward, and Green and Antetokounmpo immediately stood on the two wings, covering for Liu Ren and Kobe, who ran up from the baseline.

The Lakers disrupted the opponent's defense through continuous fast running. Liu Ren ran to the edge of the three-second zone to catch the ball, attracting two Thunder players to defend. Seeing this, Liu Ren hit the ground and passed the ball to Adelaide behind Adams. In the hands of Tokunbo, Antetokounmpo dunked with both hands and scored.

Westbrook again holds the ball over to Durant.

Ibaka ran over to cover Durant, and Durant suddenly hit a three-pointer after borrowing the pick-and-roll.

Durant started to get mad, the Lakers came over and couldn't make a shot, Durant grabbed the rebound and went off quickly, chasing him and hitting a three-pointer.

Next, the Lakers' offense missed again, and Durant made another three-pointer.

Three consecutive three-pointers!Durant's fury came really suddenly.

This is Durant, the four-time scoring champion who regards scoring as nothing!
65 to 61, Durant suddenly broke out, and the Thunder caught up with the score and even overtook the Lakers by 4 points!
The Lakers were a little anxious, LaVine took the ball and quickly broke through the sideline, and passed the ball back to Green who was standing high.

Green had a mid-range shot, and the Thunder jumped out to defend. Green gave the ball to Liu Ren who ran back and cut into the Thunder's basket. Not to mention, no one in the Thunder team dared to block Liu Ren. In the past two years, Liu Ren has given Iba Card and Adams left a psychological shadow, Liu Ren went directly to the basket and dunked easily.

The Thunder attacked, and LaVine and Green quickly double-teamed Westbrook frantically.

Facing the defense of two people, Westbrook still didn't pass the ball. Just now Durant scored three in a row. The fans were cheering and MVP. Westbrook was dissatisfied all of a sudden. He thought he was no worse than Durant. If Durant can do it, he will do it!
Westbrook used his body to lean on LaVine to dribble the ball laterally, and then suddenly accelerated, scaring the two Lakers players back a step.

Taking this opportunity, Westbrook made a mid-range emergency stop jump shot...

Hit again!Westbrook's middle distance is really amazing today.

The Lakers attack and Liu Ren holds the ball.

Liu Ren singles!Everyone pulls away.

Facing Liu Ren alone, Durant felt terrified. He defended Liu Ren, it was enough.

But only Durant is here to defend Liu Ren, and Andre Robertson is going to follow Kobe. Brook came to defend, Durant chose to die.

Liu Ren made a sudden move forward, striding forward.

Durant retreated subconsciously, and Adams on the inside was subconsciously ready to rush to block or foul. When the two of them made moves at the same time, Liu Ren suddenly stopped and threw a mid-range throw directly.

Liu Ren's middle distance is one of his strengths, but now it seems to be cold!The touch is contagious, and the Lakers missed several shots in a row!Didn't make it this time either!
Missing the shot, Liu Ren shook his head depressingly. It seemed that his hand feeling was very average today, and he could not rely on long-range shots to solve the problem. Next, he could only think of solutions from breakthroughs and low-post singles.

Liu Ren ran back dejectedly. At this time, Thunder grabbed the rebound and advanced quickly again.

Westbrook held the ball, Adams made a screen outside the three-point line, Westbrook used the same style of play as Durant, and used a sudden three-pointer after the pick-and-roll! .

In!Westbrook also scored a three-pointer!
Today Thunder Shuangjun feels really good!
The Lakers attack.

Liu Ren accelerated the breakthrough, Durant was knocked away by Liu Ren at once, and Liu Ren once again went to the inside and dunked the ball into the basket regardless of everything.

Not only did the ball go in!Adams also made a foul.

If the ball is scored, there will be an additional penalty!

Today's free throws are pretty good, and Liu Ren's 2+1 free throws were not wasted.

Westbrook pushed forward, and Liu Ren and LaVine rushed towards Westbrook again.

Because Liu Ren has quick hands, moves fast, and bounces well, it is basically impossible for Westbrook to upload from Liu Ren's head to his teammates inside.

Westbrook rushed to the left, he didn't care whether he could get in or not, he was trying to attract double-teams, and the Lakers still had to double-team, and the Lakers' defense was all attracted to Westbrook. side, and then be responsible for Durant, so Andre Robertson is empty, and Westbrook makes a long pass to Andre Robertson outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Andre Robertson happened to be open with the ball, and he seized this completely open opportunity.

"Shh!"

The Thunder scored another three-pointer.

Westbrook's ball-handling ability, mental quality, passing ability, rebounding ability, various abilities... are simply breathtaking.

Facing Westbrook, any team that wants to double-team him will have a high probability of being counterattacked instead.

But don't double-team...wait for Westbrook to score.
