Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 154. Chapter 156.
After the third quarter, the Spurs have chased the score to only 1 point, and the two sides are almost back to the same starting line.

No, George is injured, and it seems that the Thunder are weaker.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, under George's persistent request, Donovan put George back on the field first, leading Kanter, Patterson, Robertson and Felton against the Spurs.

The Spurs were present at this time with Gasol, Gay, Bertans, Ginobili and Murray.

The Spurs have chased the score to 78:77 in the first three quarters, and now the offense is playing more steadily.

The origin of Ginobili's moniker "Demon Sword" is not only because of his serpentine breakthrough at his peak, which would cut his opponent like a scalpel, but also because his playing has become more and more demonic.

Slowly controlling the ball, it took until the last 8 seconds of attack time before Ginobili pretended to break through and step back to shoot a three-pointer. Robertson couldn't prevent it, and the Spurs reversed the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Felton is also a mature and prudent point guard. Although his age and size no longer allow him to continue running fast and jumping high, it also gave him a huge body to sit and hit Murray.

After two strokes, he advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area. Gay moved his feet to prepare for defense, and Patterson took the opportunity to pull out and get an open space.

Felton has quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball to Patterson, a good opportunity.

Can go up to two points without a shot.

Gasol got the rebound and the Spurs had a chance to keep the lead.

Gasol quickly made a long pass, Gay caught the ball and sprinted straight to the basket, Patterson followed closely, Gay used his body to protect the ball and jumped up for a layup, Patterson couldn't stop it and was called for a foul.

Gay made a steady shot and added a penalty.

In 1 minute, the Thunder fell behind by 5 points.

Donovan was a little anxious, stood up and walked to the sidelines, looking anxiously at the field.

In the second minute, the two sides struck iron separately, but the Thunder still failed to score.

Donovan turned his head and glanced at Westbrook, who was already panting.

Looking back at George, he is attacking with the ball.Donovan suppressed his anxiety.

George singled Guy, and his movements were a little stiff.

Gay is also a Grizzlies player at his peak, and he has considerable defensive skills. George's problem is magnified, and he can't break through after changing direction and rhythm several times in a row.

George had no choice but to choose a jump shot, which was also a step back, and Guy also jumped up. George changed his rhythm again, jumped back and hit Guy in the air, and the ball flew into the air.

Made Gay a three-point shooting foul.

It can be regarded as finding a place for Patterson.

George made all three free throws.The Thunder finally scored and narrowed the point difference back to 2 points.

Bertans immediately returned a three-pointer.

The Thunder entered the positional battle again, and the Thunder, which did not have enough positional combat ability, struck iron again. The tactics were too rough, so it is no wonder that the Spurs did not overscore.

Kanter grabbed an offensive rebound, passed it out, and had a chance, Felton missed a jumper.

Murray grabbed the rebound and rushed directly to the Thunder penalty area, but was interfered by Robertson and missed a layup.

The ball came to George again. Currently only George can help score, but his shoulder problem has become a hindrance again.

George did not flinch, but took the initiative to attack, looking for physical confrontation, and broke through Gay's defense with the help of rhythm changes.

The last goal was too scruples and no confrontation, so the breakthrough was not successful, and now the breakthrough is successful without scruples.

Gay pursued closely, and Gasol also moved laterally to defend.

George was double-teamed by two people and quickly sent the ball out. The ball passed from the ground was just caught by Robertson who was plugging in. Robertson made a layup and recovered 2 points again.

After scoring this goal, George moved his shoulders with an uncomfortable expression. This breakthrough still affected the injury.

Both Richard and Westbrook came on at the same time, replacing Felton and Robertson.

There are still 9 minutes in the clock, and the rotation is in advance. Donovan's patience is obviously not enough.

The Spurs also replaced Murray and Bertans, and Mills and Danny Green played.

The score on the field was 83:86.

Mills has more experience, and with Popovich's instructions when he first played, he once again controlled the rhythm.

The ball came to Gasol, handed it to Gay, and then blocked George for Gay, Gay broke through and scored 2 points.

George slammed into Gasol again, and the pain in his shoulder distorted his expression.

It has to be said that after Westbrook came on the field, the offense has become much smoother. Felton can find out who the ball should be passed to, but it still does not play the role of tactical command.

With Westbrook on the court, everyone is familiar with the two simplest tactics: Westbrook singles, after the singles is unsuccessful, find an open teammate to pass the ball.

The first goal was the cooperation between Richard and Westbrook. Westbrook attracted Danny Green's defense, and Richard made an open shot.

Gay was defended by George. After missing the shot, Westbrook got the rebound and pushed for a fast break. Patterson received the pass and made a three-pointer from the outside.

88: 88.

The Thunder tied the score again.

Mills hit the iron with a three-pointer, Westbrook once again took the rebound and pushed the fast break and failed. Facing the Spurs' empty, Westbrook made a three-pointer and also hit the iron.

Gasol got the rebound and Ginobili got the ball.

While pressing with his hand, Ginobili slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

Press the rhythm, don't you listen to what the coach said?Aren't you afraid of being scolded by Popovich?
Ginobili controlled the time, and finally accelerated suddenly. He made a snake-shaped breakthrough that he was good at. George was also a little helpless, and finally had to pay for a foul.

Donovan and Popovich made another substitution at the same time.

Adams replaced Kanter, Grant replaced Patterson, and the Thunder lineup returned to the starting five.

For the Spurs, Aldridge replaced Gasol, Kyle Anderson replaced Gay, and continued to be a senior and a junior, with Aldridge playing the fifth position.

It's not that Donovan doesn't want to play a big and a small, but Abrines and Huestis' outside lines are not stable enough, and their defense is not good, so it's better not to play.

Ginobili made two free throws, 88:90, two points behind the Thunder.

Westbrook organized the offense again, and the Spurs continued to shrink their defense, not letting go.Faced with such targeting and provocation, Westbrook cannot bear it.

Westbrook rushed up and Mills couldn't stop it. He broke through the first line and had to face layers of defense. Westbrook plunged in with his head buried.

Ginobili was pushed open; Anderson, European step bypassed; Westbrook faced the last line of defense for a layup, and Aldridge jumped up to block the opponent.

Neither was successful.

Mills got the rebound and wanted to advance quickly, Richard suddenly appeared in front of Mills.

"Snap" Richard raised his hand and pulled the basketball out of Mills' hands.

Before Mills could react, Richard had already swung it to Adams who was under the basket. Adams took advantage of the trend and scored with a dunk with both hands.

The two sides drew again!

The Spurs are still unhurried, one or two turnovers are not enough to cause fatal injuries, Aldridge scored again from the basket.

Although Adams is strong, he becomes a disadvantage when defending Aldridge's footsteps at the basket, and his movements are too slow.

Westbrook continued to break through. He wanted to break through not only the Spurs' defensive system, but also his own obstacles. When he breaks through both, Westbrook will return to the king with another attitude.

Before that, Richard had to use his own method to make up for the loopholes for Westbrook.

Once again, in the face of so many defenses, Westbrook lacks shooting ability. It should be impossible to score a goal.

Richard strode forward, trying to fight for offensive rebounds among the crowd.

There are many tall people, and the rebounds are protected by Aldridge.

Richard immediately gave up gambling and stealing, and quickly ran back to his own half to defend the opposing player.

Back and forth, desperate when picking it up, and quick when putting it down, making the opponent stunned for a while.

Danny Green still wanted to shoot from the outside, but Richard's defense interfered with the iron, and Grant got the rebound.

Westbrook continued to break through the offense, and this time finally made the opponent foul.

Standing on the free throw line, Westbrook took a deep breath and made the first free throw steadily.

The second goal was missed.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and returned the favor, and Adelaide scored two more points.

91:94, the Thunder trailed by 3 points.

Attack again, or Westbrook.

The Spurs players were a little shaken. Breakthroughs again and again did not bring results to the team, and they are still breaking through. Last time it was a foul, what about this time?What about next time?

In the face of ferocious impact, the force that players bear will also cause injuries.

Under multiple factors, the Spurs players moved more slowly. In order to protect themselves or not to be fouled, the obstacles Westbrook encountered in breaking through became smaller.

Blessed to the soul, Westbrook rushed away from Mills and then stopped for a jumper, and the ball hit the board and fell into the basket.

Westbrook successfully broke through the tactics against himself.

"Beep!" The Spurs asked for a timeout.

Popovich won't get the Thunder going that easily.

But for Westbrook, it will also build confidence for him.

"Russell, very good! Next, you need to sort out the offense and mobilize everyone. As long as we can get open, we will have a chance to take the lead again. Then keep the lead until the end of the game!" Donovan's tactics seem very reasonable.

But he made two mistakes. One was to play team basketball with the Spurs, and the other was to cool down Westbrook, who was bursting with confidence.

This is attacking the enemy's strengths with one's own weaknesses.

Westbrook finally got into shape. He should have continued to attack Westbrook to keep him in this state, but used organization to limit him.

In this way, Westbrook's flashy fairy style of play will stagnate.

You know, Westbrook's brain speed is slower than his body speed.

If Westbrook plays at his own pace, all kinds of scoring and assists will be used subconsciously by the muscles, but if Westbrook uses his brain, he must be slowed down, otherwise he will suddenly pause and don't know what he should do.
