The NBA begins with blowing up Wade

Chapter 113 113 The Basketball God's Favor! Jedi's Great Reversal?

"It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

During the intermission, even Kenny Smith couldn't help but sighed while watching Guan Yu who was sweating profusely.

"Hey, let me tell you!
Guan Ke is much more attractive than Durant's jerk!"

Barkley said with some pride, it seemed that he was the one who carried the audience on the court just now, not Guan Yu.

On the side of the Thunder team, Durant, who was walking towards the locker room, looked at the back of Guan Yu who was far away, and his expression was very complicated!
17 points in a single quarter!
That nasty guy scored 17 points in a single quarter!
Durant knew very well in his heart that even if he was fully fired, he was not completely sure that he would be able to achieve this level!
Moreover, this is not the best situation when playing full strength in the first quarter!
At halftime, that guy had already scored 25 points!
And Durant only scored 14 points, and his good brother Westbrook only scored 10 points.

The two together scored one point less than that guy.

hateful!
Really hateful!
On the other side, Guan Yu was surrounded by Clippers players and returned to the locker room amidst the cheers of the audience.

The Clippers players around Guan Yu were really shocked by Guan Yu!
To be honest, the state of the Thunder team tonight is really good, so good that the Clippers players really want to give up.

That feeling of trying so hard to score a goal but always being easily wiped out by the opponent is really terrible.

Moreover, they are now leading 2-1 in the series, and even if they lose a game, they are only tied 2-2, so they have to fight hard next time.

More importantly, it is really difficult to win against the Thunder team, which is in surprisingly good form this night.

Guan Yu didn't say any inspiring words, but expressed his attitude with his heroic performance time after time——

Tonight's game must be won, what the hell is a 2-2 tie, what labor and management want is 3-1!
After half the game, although the Clippers are still 54 points behind 59 to 5, their momentum is really fully up!
No matter how good the Thunder are in tonight, they feel that they are not incapable of fighting!
Of course, there was another reason why the Clippers surrounded Guan Yu, and that was Guan Yu's physical exhaustion was too serious, and he needed his teammates to support him.

Guan Yu, who scored 17 points in a single quarter and fell to the ground several times, did not pay any price.

A few minutes later, in the Clippers locker room, Coach De Nagro looked in Guan Yu's direction with a struggling expression on his face.

Just now, the general manager of the Clippers has firmly told him that Guan Yu must be rested, and even if Guan Yu plays again, he will not be able to carry out such a self-destructive attack.

De Nagro is well aware that in the eyes of Olshey and Sterling this game...

If you can win, you win, if you can't win, it's okay to lose.

After all, they have earned enough money this season.

In comparison, Guan Yu's health or the benefits brought by a healthy Guan Yu are what they value.

If Guan Yu is seriously injured, the overall efficiency of the Clippers will be greatly reduced at that time. That scene is definitely not what Olshey and Sterling want to see.

Coach Denagro naturally didn't want Guan Yu to get hurt, but when he was about to persuade Guan Yu, he looked at Guan Yu's resolute eyes and fell silent.

He is very clear about how hard Guan Yu usually trains, and also knows how competitive this guy is, so he really can't say what makes Guan Yu give up this game.

After thinking about it, Coach De Nagro greeted several other Clippers players, asking them to create more opportunities for Guan Yu in the second half of the offense, and to work harder on the defensive end to share some pressure on Guan Yu.

Coach DeNagello feels like there is only so much he can do.

The rest can only be given to yourself.

At the same time, in New York, at the NBA headquarters, Silver, the executive vice president of the NBA, gave his order after thinking about it and asking Stern for advice——

On the basis of Guan Yu's home whistle, give a superstar whistle!
It's not just Olshey and Sterling who are afraid of Guan Yu's injury, at least Xiao Hua is too nervous!
Guan Yu is a very important part of Xiao Hua's future plan to take over Stern.

Therefore, Xiao Hua is willing and knows that it is necessary to express his kindness to Guan Yu now.

He also understands the truth that giving charcoal in the snow can win the gratitude of others more than icing on the cake.

As for the Thunder or Durant...

Anyway, Xiao Hua likes Guan Yu better than Guan Yu who is more handsome.

As for Durant, I can only be sorry.

……

"Great!
Really great!"

Charlotte, a bald man in a suit and smoking a cigar couldn't help but sigh while watching the replay of the Thunder and Clippers' wonderful performance in the second quarter.

"Well, this kid is doing well, but he is far behind you, Michael."

The man named Michael, who was naturally Jordan, glanced at his team trainer and his friend.

"Hey, I'm not talking about his skill, much less his physicality, but his competitiveness!
This kid is really great, I can guarantee that as long as he doesn't get seriously injured in the future, he will definitely be able to become the leader of the league!
Even, there is hope to hit the top [-] in history!"

Jordan's friend was stunned. He was very familiar with the NBA. Although he knew that Jordan admired the kid on the TV, he didn't expect to appreciate it to this extent.

You must know that the top [-] stars in NBA history, even the bottom one, are at the level of "Human Movie Essence" Wilkins and "Glove" Gary Payton!
"Although this kid's offense is good..."

"hehe, not bad?"

Jordan interrupted his friend a little rudely, speaking with disdain,

"Those media are messing with the rhythm.

Believe me, if an American achieves what he is doing right now, he could be called the next "me"!
If the guy was Caucasian again, "I" would almost certainly be surpassed. "

When Jordan said this, his expression was a little complicated.

After so many years, he has already figured out the routines of the media.

Jordan's friend was silent.

It seems...it really is like this!
Young man who is favored by the basketball god, can you continue to fight?
……

In the Clippers locker room, Guan Yu didn't know how much shock his performance in the second quarter had brought to others. At this time, he just wanted to recover his strength quickly and fight again in the second half!
Although he feels physically exhausted now and feels sore in many places all over his body, he has no intention of giving up at all!
A real man should fight like this!
Now, Guan Yu only wants to survive the Thunder's strong period until they lose power.

If the Thunder team is really ready for the whole game...

Guan Yu also resigned to his fate, at least, even if he loses, he won't have any regrets!
……

In the second half, change sides and fight again!
What Guan Yu was worried about, still happened!
The Thunder are in really good shape tonight, and they are really fighting!
"Russell's drive drive layup...

No!
But a foul was drawn and he now has two free throws!"

At the beginning of the second half, Westbrook used his bravery to impress the Thunder players, and at the same time proved like Guan Yu...

Hey, you're not alone in this trick!
We don't want to lose this game either!
In addition to Westbrook, Durant also stood up and even completed an alternative six-pointer in an offense!
It was an offense by the Thunder. Durant tricked Gordon, who was defending him, and then took the initiative to dive forward for a three-point foul.

The referee is really blowing too!
Then, Durant made two of three free throws amid the boos of the fans at the scene.

Although the third free throw was missed, Durant hit another three-pointer after receiving Ibaka's offensive rebound.

On the Clippers side, Jordan, who was robbed of a key rebound and his face was dull, complained to the referee that he was called a technical foul.

Durant made a technical free throw and completed an alternative six-pointer.

Lady luck was clearly on the Thunder's side tonight.

Guan Yu on the court did not despair, but finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Because his teammates also began to slowly regain their touch, and began to fight back violently with him.

Their Clippers' offense is not afraid of any team!
By the end of the third quarter, they were only 4 points behind!
In the fourth quarter, the decisive battle began. Guan Yu, who was put on a rest by De Nagro, did not wait for the Thunder to lose power, but waited until his teammates lost their focus.

By the time Guan Yu came on the court, the Thunder's momentum had fully recovered, especially when Durant stared at Gordon's defense again and hit a three-pointer, which widened the point difference to 15 points!
At this time, there are still 6 minutes left before the end of the game.

In 6 minutes, the average team scored less than 15 points, let alone narrowing the 15-point gap.

At this time, almost everyone sentenced the Clippers to death, even coach De Nagro.

"Guan, how about we give up this game strategically?"

Listening to the head coach's words and looking at the confused eyes of other teammates, Guan Yu's expression finally changed.

I saw him smiling, and then said to Coach De Nagro,

"Then I'll just play around?"

De Nagro hastily agreed,
"Just play!"

Compared with Guan Yu continuing to fight to the death, Coach De Nagro felt that facing the Thunder in such a good state tonight, it would not be a bad thing for Guan Yu to play casually and lose the game easily.

Well, Guan Yu can't win the game with all his strength, just play casually, what is possible...

On the court, Guan Yu's mentality also relaxed.

With a 15-point difference and half a quarter, it would be difficult to play well without some special methods.

At this time, the most radical way is to bet on three points, and the safest way is to kill the restricted area.

Guan Yu... didn't choose either.

"Beautiful mid-range, Guan finally narrowed the gap for the Clippers."

TNT studio, Barkley said with emotion.

"But it wasn't enough, the Thunder were in great shape tonight.

It's not enough for the Clippers to score by themselves, and they have to pray that the Thunder can't score by themselves, or the point difference will be...

what……"

Amidst Kenny Smith's surprised cry, Ibaka's mid-range shot came out of the box!
Griffin protected the backboard, and the Clippers quickly counterattacked!
Although the Clippers' defensive counterattack was strictly guarded by the Thunder throughout the game, they never gave up the opportunity to defend and counterattack!
Besides, didn't the head coach say to play casually?

Anyway, there is no need to worry about running out of energy, so how about running?

The Thunder team didn't know whether it was a big lead or a decline in physical strength, or to preserve physical strength at a critical moment. They didn't retreat in time this time!
Arenas, the incarnation of the vanguard, made an emergency stop and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Guan Yu!
99 to 89!
The point difference came to 10 points!
"Defend and score one more time, and the point difference will be reduced to single digits!"

In the TNT studio, Barkley, who became a "Clippers fan", spoke out the aspirations of many fans.

In front of the TV, in addition to the Clippers fans, many passer-by fans also want to see if the Clippers can complete the Jedi comeback.

The rest of the Clippers were okay, they were mainly overwhelmed by Guan Yu's indomitable spirit from the second quarter onwards.

Hard work or even hard work but no return?
This is not in line with the values ​​​​of many fans!
So...give them a chance!
It seems that the prayers of the fans really worked. Westbrook's zombie jumper after the breakthrough really didn't exist!
The Clippers continue to quickly defend and counterattack!
This time, everyone in the Thunder team, who felt a little bit of crisis, hurriedly retreated!
Great reversal or something, go to hell!
On the court, Guan Yu advances quickly!
Before the Thunder team's defenses were all in position, Guan Yu made another shot from the mid-range after continuously changing to fake shots and making real shots!
"Rebound!"

On the sidelines, Coach Brooks yelled a reminder!
Before the game, he did special research on Guan Yu's superstar!
This guy's three-pointer is accurate, and the finish is not bad. The mid-range can be said to be the only shortcoming.

Considering his decline in physical strength, there is a high probability that this ball will be...

"Shh-!"

A crisp sound made Coach Brooks stunned in place!
This can also enter?

99 to 91!
There are still more than three minutes before the game, and the point difference has been narrowed by the Clippers from 15 points to 8 points!
If the previous hope was very slim, the Clippers' hope of winning is also very small now, but it is not so slim anymore.

In fact, the situation the Clippers are facing is not much stronger than before just because of the point difference and time alone. The most important thing is that their momentum is fully up!
This is the most terrible thing!
Coach Brooks hurriedly called a timeout to make adjustments, and emphasized with his disciples how to delay the time and hit the success rate!
Also watch out for defense!
If you're not careful, you might get flipped!
After the timeout, the Thunder's tactics were successfully played, and Durant took Gordon's mid-range shot and then went in!
101 to 91!
The Thunder's scoring drought is finally broken!
The Thunder fans in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief!
As long as they can score, it's fine!
However, within a few seconds, the hearts of the Thunder fans lifted up again!
Guan Yu, who played well, made an unreasonable ultra-long three-pointer and directly hit it!
101 to 94!
Not only did the difference not widen, but it got smaller!
The only comfort for Thunder fans now is that there are still more than two minutes left in the clock.

With a 7-point difference and the possession of the ball, the problem is really not that big.

However, Westbrook's next behavior made them really sweat!
