Chapter 357 Chapter 355: Gemini's Attitude
The situation of the game was very clear from the very beginning. The Thunder had a stronger desire to attack. They needed to win this game and prove themselves.The Pacers played very steadily. They need to stabilize the situation and need to win steadily.

As a result, as soon as the game started, people saw Russell Westbrook, the guard who was going to "settle the Pacers when the sun goes down", charged into the Pacers' inside lane like carrying a dynamite bag, and scored with a one-handed dunk on the head of Horford, who was a step behind in making up the defense!

"Hohohoho! As soon as the game started, Russell pushed the game to a climax! With an explosive dunk, Westbrook completed a surprise attack!"

This dunk made Kenny Smith on the commentary stand climax directly from the first round of the game.He had goosebumps all over his body, and Westbrook's dunk exploded like a rocket into the air.

As we all know, the Pacers' defense is very tight.Westbrook can launch a surprise attack at the moment Perkins competes for the basketball, so you know how fast this guy is.And the inertia generated by such a fast speed made the subsequent dunk feel full of power!
"What did I say? Fatigue will never be a stumbling block for the Thunder. Do you see Westbrook's energy? How does this look like a player who was fighting the Spurs 24 hours ago!"

Sure enough, the Thunder were excited.The particularity of this game made Westbrook not allow himself to make mistakes.After the dunk landed, he and Durant gave each other a high-five.These two brothers are bound to fight in this place that made them sad today!
Not just offense, the Thunder's defense is also doing well.

Active and tough confrontation, decisive switching and just-right supplementary defense The Thunder did not appear to be unable to move forward, and their defense was even better than last summer.

After conducting for a while without getting a gap, Paul passed the ball to David West, who had just returned from injury and started the game directly.When the Pacers can't open the game, David West's post is usually the best option to break the deadlock.

But today, Ibaka's defense was inseparable.He confronted toughly, causing West, who hadn't played an official game for a month, to lose his rhythm.Not everything will go as smoothly as expected.West missed the first shot, Perkins took off the rebound and immediately handed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook did not hesitate, started to accelerate, and quickly counterattacked!It seems that Scott Brooks intends to punish him in his own way.

Fortunately, Chris Paul's "light speed reaction" allowed him to immediately block Westbrook's travel route, which prevented this explosive No. 0 guard from rushing into the penalty area to dunk again.Westbrook stopped, but the Thunder's counterattack did not stop.

If it were the past, Westbrook would definitely squeeze inside.But today, the No. 0 defender lost his mind.After being stopped by Paul, Westbrook raised his hand and passed the ball to Durant who inserted from the side.

Although Danny Green was chasing and defending very hard, but Durant's one step is the span of others' two steps, it is not easy to catch up with hard work.Durant threw off Green half a body, which is a deadly distance.

At this distance, with Green's athletic ability, it is impossible for him to complete the chase.If you forcefully pounce, the good result is a foul, and the bad result is to give Durant a 2+1 chance.Therefore, Green could only watch helplessly as Durant leaped lightly and stretched his long arms to complete the dunk.

"Positivity and energy, I see these two things in the Thunder players. They have a strong desire to win and a strong desire to score. Most importantly, they don't show any fatigue." Barkley finished speaking and glanced at Henson.

Henson shook his head slightly, looking helpless.

In fact, Henson was thinking.When he has Antetokounmpo next season, he will play like this!
"Crack!" Durant dunked to the ground and gave Westbrook another high-five.Together they overturned the Spurs and watched the Indianapolis sunrise together.They have traveled so many roads together, but they didn't come to be the background board of 72 wins!

"Impossible." Stevens' eyes widened. How can a team that has just played back-to-back games be so energetic.

Henson was not surprised. If the Pacers encountered such a situation, they would also be full of energy.

"Today, the Thunder are wearing dark blue retro jerseys. Oklahoma fans joked that the Thunder would not play once they wore retro jerseys. Because the Thunder wore retro jerseys 6 times this season, but lost 5 of them! But today, the curse of retro jerseys does not seem to work in Bankers Life Arena."

While speaking, the Pacers' second offense ended in failure.Paul George was ready to shoot after borrowing Horford's screen, but Perkins' defense was very active.Originally, Henson hoped to make a fuss about the fact that Perkins couldn't defend against it, but he didn't know that Perkins's outward attack was so decisive today.

If the ball was replaced by James Harden's shot, Perkins would probably get a foul in nine out of ten cases.It's just a pity that Paul George doesn't have the talent in this area.

The shot hit the iron, and the Pacers missed the second consecutive offense!It seems that the Thunder have not recovered from yesterday's battle with the Spurs. They are still immersed in the state of mental tension and brought this state to Indianapolis.So today's game just started, and they directly entered the highest alert level.

Therefore, sometimes resting more than others is not necessarily an advantage.When you are still slowly accumulating the feeling of the game, others are already fully fired.

Westbrook took off the defensive rebound himself, and Paul was very clever and suddenly crossed in front of Westbrook, who was about to accelerate and was about to be dribbled by him.Paul tried this trick repeatedly, just like Pengci, the opponent was caught off guard.

However, Westbrook's reaction speed once again surprised Paul.Almost as soon as he saw Paul crossing over, Westbrook avoided Paul with a beautiful behind-the-back dribble and flashed past Paul!
The most important thing is that Westbrook's speed immediately increased after a bad luck, as if there was no need for any acceleration process at all!

Paul's cleverness failed, but was thrown off by Westbrook.He tried his best to chase back, and Horford was ready to defend the basket.

However, Westbrook suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, jumped high, and shot!

"Following three-pointers, Westbrook's shot selection is still so bold!"

Everyone knows that Westbrook is bold, but whether this boldness kills the opponent or kills the Thunder is unknown.

Westbrook's shooting posture is very "hard". Although he jumps high, he just looks uncomfortable.Although Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage this season is a career-high 32.3%, it is still not stable enough.

Seeing Westbrook throwing a chasing three-pointer so impatiently, Henson thought his chance had come!As everyone knows, after the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air, it directly exploded a piece of "white waves" under the basket!
in!

At that moment, Henson's heart almost stopped beating.Not only him, at that moment, even the boos in the stands seemed to have stopped
"Three! Westbrook's shooting is very crisp! 7-0, Coach Henson stopped the game. It can be seen that Durant and Westbrook are in excellent condition today. The Oklahoma City Thunder aims to prevent the Pacers from completing their 72-win record!" Kenny Smith almost got up from his seat without being excited. After all, he didn't expect the Thunder to play so well at first.His expectations were too low, but he was pleasantly surprised now.

Barkley, who was beside him, just smiled. The beast that was driven into a desperate situation was the most terrifying.The Thunder's performance was in line with his expectations.

"Finish it! Finish it!" Westbrook yelled at Pacers fans in the stands, pointing to the floor of Bankers Life Arena.Today, he will be here to end the greatness!
The 7-0 offensive played by Westbrook and Durant undoubtedly expressed their attitude today.After the early morning sunrise, the two had already made up their minds.

They will never, ever again become a stepping stone to the success of the Pacers.
