I'm king in the basket

Chapter 203

Tony Allen's defense is mainly reflected in the off-ball end. He is fast enough, strong enough, and quick enough to react.The body is proficient in various defensive steps and movements.Moreover, before each match, you will understand the opponent's characteristics and habits, so that you can make correct judgments during the match, move to the correct position and make the correct actions.

In this game, he did not get used to Durant's defense, but his fouls also came very quickly.

The third quarter has just begun, and he has already committed four fouls.

To deal with a behemoth like Durant, defensive skills and confrontation alone are not enough, dirty moves are necessary.

Especially for a defensive elite like him with little talent, superb defense is often accompanied by fierce fouls.

Durant took the way of dodging and playing at the beginning, but he only scored 12 points so far.It is not normal for him to get this point when the team is far behind.

After 1 minute, Durant stuck Allen with his back, and then took the ball to attack.

Back attack is not his specialty, but to deal with Allen, back attack is the most suitable.

It's a pity that Durant is not proficient in skills now, and he still likes to rely on height to solve problems.

Allen was just particularly good at offsetting the talent gap between the two sides, and his defense was close at hand, constantly forcing Durant to take shots the hard way.

Suddenly, Durant's explosive step started to the weak side.

He only took one step and then stopped. What he wanted was not a breakthrough, but a little shooting space. Allen's defense was very fast, and he leaned on it in a blink of an eye.

As a result, Durant could only attack in the way he least liked.

This is also the way that best reflects his talent - strong shots.When you have enough height, it becomes much easier to make strong shots. Such shots are usually considered unreasonable, and they are also the favorite of super scorers with lone wolf attributes such as Kobe.

These shots are usually the result of tri-iron tetroxide, but this group just loves them because they know they boost morale.

However, if you would rather throw this kind of ball than pass it to your teammates, the morale impact caused by the final strike is immeasurable.

But Durant doesn't have to hesitate to make such a shot now. The Thunder need him to do this. After pulling up, his eyes are wide open, and Allen can't guard him at all.

"Shh!"

Durant made this difficult jumper.

What's funny is that Durant scored so hard, but in the next round, Li Xing received a pass from Calderon and made an easy shot over Krstic's head.

There was no slight ripple in his expression, this ball was as simple as eating for him.

"Dante scored 10 points. He has a triple-double. With two more blocks, we can witness his third quadruple-double at Chesapeake Energy Arena!"

"This guy is so talented, a quadruple-double is very easy for him, and he has been quasi-quadruple-double many times so far!"

Bargnani came up and patted Li Xing's butt: "Larch, it looks like you're going to have a quadruple pair again tonight." "Thanks to you." These were Li Xing's sincere words.

If Bargnani hadn't played in this state, his assists would not have come so easily.

Of his 10 assists, seven were on Bargnani. This guy is an assist machine tonight. He catches the ball and shoots without delay.

For this kind of person, Li Xing can only keep feeding him cakes.

Moreover, his performance is not over yet. If he continues to pass the ball to him, he can continue to score. With his touch tonight, 50 points is just a matter of wanting or not.

This is a rare game for Bargnani, Li Xing wants him to play a classic battle.

Bargnani's performance with such precision affected his opponents.

Mid-range shooting is a specialty of Ibaka, and he made only one of seven shots tonight.

Now that he made another shot, Li Xing knew from the arc that he would not go in. He firmly stuck the tall Krstic and grabbed the rebound steadily.

Li Xing stood at the corner to take the ball and carefully observed the other moves.

The Raptors Bargnani's off-ball defense is very strict, and it is impossible to pass the ball to him like before.

Isn't it too late for these guys to think of this now?In Bargnani's current state, if he has the rating of a superstar, he may have already broken into the state of unity of human and ball.

Li Xing had never seen such a terrifying berserk mode.

Through his body, Li Xing sensed the thick energy in Bargnani's body, and they were looking for a breakthrough like water.

Bargnani gave up his outside shot, made a rare run to the basket, got up high to set a pick-and-roll for DeRozan, and then cut inside.

Seeing his movements, Li Xing hit the ground and passed the ball without the slightest hesitation.

Bargnani carried Durant, who was helping to defend, scored a layup and caused him to foul.

"Oh my god! No one in OKC can stop Andrea! He is the best player tonight!"

Bargnani scored like this, Durant couldn't hide his disappointment.

He really couldn't accept that Bargnani scored on his own head like this.Not counting free throws, it was Bargnani's 41st point tonight.

"Who can stop me?"

Bargnani yelled: "Who can stop me?"

Everyone saw the reaction of Bargnani slapping his chest and roaring in front of Durant, no less than the reaction of people who have never watched horror movies when they suddenly saw Sadako crawling out of the TV. It was really frightening. All broken.

"Okay, Barney, you still have free throws. It's over when you score the free throw. Don't get too complacent." Calderon reminded.

Hearing this, Bargnani laughed loudly: "What's so difficult? Just watch!"

"Shh!"

43 points.

Durant responded to Bargnani in a unique way. He played a five-ring foul technique that was ridiculed countless times.

It was Tony Allen's fifth foul of the night, and he continued to swear.

"Is this fucking okay? Is this fucking okay?"

If the game is tight, Snyder may replace Tony Allen to protect it, but this is no longer necessary.

In the case of Bargnani playing like this, even if Durant and Westbrook are working at the same time, so what?
Li Xingke has been playing on the field all the time.

This season, Bargnani was positioned by Snyder as the No. 49 player of the Raptors, but his shooting power was the highest in the team. point.

Because Li Xing was too dazzling, he was overlooked.

This battle tonight is bound to make everyone remember him.

Tony Allen's replacement is Barnes.

After the handover with Allen, he came on the stage cursing: "KD, you are nothing special in this way, and Andrea completely blown you up."

The payoff for this trash talk was Durant missed a shot and added a penalty.

Li Xing caught the rebound and wanted to make a long pass, but Thunder's defense was already in place.

The Thunder's defense against Bargnani is like dealing with Kobe and James. That kind of intensity defense should not appear on Bargnani anyway.

First, there is a one-on-one high-intensity defense, and after the ball is double-teamed, DeRozan is not taken as a dish at all.

DeRozan only had a sense of presence tonight when he counterattacked. Most of the time, he stayed on the court like an invisible man.

But that doesn't mean he's really useless.

Bargnani was surrounded and he got his chance.

Passing through the crowd, DeRozan catches and shoots, and hits.

"I can't just focus on defense. Do you think I'm Kobe? I don't like to shoot against two people!" Bargnani smiled triumphantly.

The Lei Ting generals were all very angry when they heard this, and wanted to hit him back.

Facing Barnes, Durant seemed to have regained his unnamed power, and was ready to kill.Barnes' defense is not very effective against him. Although he has height, strength and skill, he is not as reliable as Allen.

Barnes is Durant's favorite matchup. He thinks he is very strong defensively, so he always plays one-on-one at the top of the arc.

Durant bent down and made a change of direction dribble that didn't match his body.

For such a big man, the arc of the change of direction is also amazing. Barnes was swayed away in a few strokes, and Durant dragged the ball into the Raptors' stronghold.

Li Xing flew out from the side like a ghost, forcing Durant to pass the ball to Krstic.

The latter's reaction was a bit slow, and he was about to make a move. Li Xing had already controlled his body, and then he took off for the second time, and offered a big hot pot to Kostic.

Krstic's ball was blocked, and Barnes picked up the floor ball and shouted excitedly: "It's our turn!"

The Raptors' three-line fast break was finally completed by Bargnani.

No matter how the Thunder chased, on a night when everyone wanted Bargnani to play the best performance of his career, their efforts seemed to be in vain.

Bargnani dominated the offense from start to finish.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, he scored the 51st point with a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Thunder has not replaced the main force, so Bargnani continued to score.

After breaking 50 points, his teammates began to imagine 60 points, so they passed the ball to him like crazy.Even though his physical strength has declined and his shooting percentage is not as high as before, they still keep passing the ball.

As if this was Bargnani's last game, they wanted the Italian to have a good time.

one ball,
another ball
Follow up for another shot,
With 2 minutes left in the game, Bargnani made another three-pointer to set his own score at 62 points.

The Thunder had enough, they replaced Durant and Westbrook, and let Bargnani's scoring show end there.

62 points, the highest score in a single game in the history of the Raptors, has since entered Bargnani's name.

When off the field, Bargnani bowed to the fans in a friendly manner.

Fans responded to him with deafening boos, dissatisfied with Bargnani's behavior of staying on the court to score points in the fourth quarter.

But, who told them not to replace Durant and Westbrook?
