I'm king in the basket

Chapter 408 Divine Might Descends from Heaven
The game entered the fourth quarter with a score difference of 9 points.

It looked like there was still hope, but the more the Thunder chased, the more frustrated they became.

As if they were cursed by something, no matter what they did, they would be stopped by Li Xing in the end.

His ability to erupt alone surpassed the Thunder's three young masters.

Moreover, DeRozan also broke out.

In many cases, Li Xing's output performance alone exceeded the sum of the three young players. If there is another helper, the game will be really difficult.

Harden's outburst ended in the third quarter, and Li Xing and DeRozan teamed up to stop him.

DeRozan used offense to let him know that his defense was like air; Li Xing used defense to let him know that his offense was nothing special.

For such a steady person, once there is a change in mentality, the chain reaction will be quite violent.

Durant and Westbrook were keenly aware of Harden's change, and they took over the ball.

The ball returned to Westbrook, and Harden became a weak-side shooter.

It's just that with his current state, even a weak-side shooter may not be able to shoot at his best.

The hustle and bustle of the fourth quarter was kicked off by Durant's three-pointer.

Li Xing grabbed the rebound and wanted DeRozan to play a fast break, but the Thunder's defense was amazingly fast, and they also knew how powerful the Raptors' counterattack was.

Durant knew as soon as he shot, he ordered his teammates to retreat.

The timely retreat successfully prevented the counterattack from happening.

Bargnani lowered his waist and walked tentatively like a kitten.

Even if his magic is no longer there, the Thunder dare not let him catch the ball easily. No one will forget how terrible the state of this man once scored 62 points on them.

In case anyone forgets, Brooks yells at the player who scored after Bargnani scored: "The guy you let go scored 62 points on us. Is that how you guard him?"

Ibaka tried his best, Bargnani's movement was a bit cunning, and his teammates helped.

He wanted to follow out, but Li Xing's cover was too strong.

Aldridge was not fast enough, and by the time he ran in front of Bargnani, he had already completed the whole process from receiving the ball to shooting.

"Shh!"

"Are the Italians going to raise their butcher knives again?"

Angus' tone couldn't hide his excitement. He knew better than anyone how much Bargnani liked to explode against the Thunder.

Although tonight's outbreak came a bit late, but as long as he enters that state, the game will be over.

For the Raptors who have already won the match point of the series, the explosive Bargnani is equal to the championship.

Durant glanced at Bargnani, angry in his heart.

It's also a three-pointer, the opponent made it, but he didn't.

He was very unwilling, and he wanted to stand up for the team, just like those legendary superstars who turned the tide at critical moments in history.

He wishes he could be like those people.

"KD, don't worry."

Westbrook seemed to be more touched than Durant. He came to the latter's side, said this, and then let his teammates serve.

Durant has no idea what the big brother wants to do.

He still remembers what happened the day Westbrook first joined the team. They had a fierce confrontation and then recognized each other.

Durant knew he'd need Westbrook's help if he was going to achieve that chest explosion.

Westbrook has always displayed his amazing physicality in all aspects of the game, he is tireless, and his fuel tank never seems to bottom out.

He plays freely, is always in attack mode, and sometimes it feels like he turns the game into a test of his manhood, and he is always ready to win the game.

Durant felt that he was Kobe Bryant, Dennis Rodman, Gary Payton and Oscar Robertson combined.

Westbrook's determination to take every shot when he needs to step up (Kobe), verbally irritate his opponents and referees (Rodman), and his ability to switch between confidence and contempt (Payton) is unmatched comprehensive (Robertson).

Together, these traits define him, but he doesn't drive them perfectly.

He's flawed, he's going to get into trouble, and he's going to cause a lot of problems.

He's going to play a game that makes you want to kiss him, and he's going to play a game that makes you want to throw him off a sixth floor.

Durant has seen that state tonight, what he doesn't know is, what state will Westbrook meet this game next?
The game is down to the last quarter, and if they don't push harder, this may be their last quarter of the season.

With Westbrook holding the ball with one hand, he can tear the Raptors' defense apart.

He has the same problems as Harden.

What are you going to do with Lucky Lee?
Durant saw Westbrook's gesture, which is not common, and he is used to solving problems by himself.

The gesture pointed Durant in the direction, and he quietly sneaked inside.

Li Xing's attention was all on Westbrook. His previous experience told him that this guy would never pass the ball, and he had no passing options in his eyes.

Attack, attack, attack, that's what he does.

Li Xing's attention was completely drawn by him. Durant also entered the paint at this moment, and Westbrook hoisted the ball in his hand.

Durant flew high into the sky, caught the ball with both hands, and took advantage of the momentum to complete a slam dunk.

This was an unexpected goal. Li Xing never thought that Westbrook would be like this.

He looked in surprise at the pair who had just formed a match.

Why was Li Xing surprised?Because these two people seldom work together like this. Although they are together all the time, they always do their own thing.

In other words, Durant has been accommodating Westbrook.

For the first time, they will be linked to each other, like OK and Jordan and Pippen.

They played together for three years and should have more chemistry, but it wasn't until the last quarter of this game that they figured out how to win.

"Isn't it a little too late?"

Li Xing is not sure if they really want to tie each other tightly.

As an "experienced person", Li Xing knew what kind of decision Durant made later.

If they do connect, will Durant leave?
Obviously, Westbrook's performance just now was just a flash of inspiration.

It is unrealistic to expect him to change from now on, Li Xing is also happy to see that he has not changed, no one wants to add a big enemy to himself.

The cooperation between Durant and Westbrook, Li Xing and his teammates are doing it in every offensive round.

He can cooperate with DeRozan and Bargnani, he can also cooperate with defenders, and he can rely on his own restraint to create opportunities for teammates around him.

Except for the unlimited stats in order to get quadruple pairs, Li Xing usually doesn't have a habit of doing big and special stats.

He wanted his teammates to get involved first.

This was a decision I was forced to make when I was physically weak. When I was free, I helped my teammates. If it really failed, I rolled up my sleeves and worked hard.

Later, his physical strength improved, and he could spend money freely, but the habit had been formed.

He simply wants to be a core player that everyone likes.

Li Xing mentioned that he was within the 45-degree three-point line on the right and stopped for a while. On the other side, Bargnani ran wildly as if his butt was on fire.

He came around.

Ibaka glared at Li Xing angrily, and it was his cover that caused the defense to fail.

Aldridge's defense made up, though.

Bargnani didn't get a chance. He held the ball and was embarrassed. This position is not good for attacking with the ball. If he makes a strong shot, the opponent is not short, so he will definitely be disturbed.

"Andrea!"

DeRozan called out to him and ran out of the crowd.

Bargnani passes the ball.

DeRozan turned over and jumped up with the ball and shot.

Harden's defense was actually distracted at this moment, and he didn't react until DeRozan completed the offense.

"What happened to James Harden?"

"Who took him?"

Nobody knew what happened, and Brooks replaced him for that.

His replacement is Thunder team grass, Thabo Sefolosha.

The existence of this person has greatly improved the overall appearance of the Thunder team, and it is well-deserved to be called a team player.

Also, this guy's three-pointers and defense are great additions.

Harden plays the sixth man, and he is the team's starting second.

Harden sat down dejectedly, he didn't know what happened to him, he shouldn't behave like this.

He wanted to exert strength, but his body was conveying other messages.

That's it, it's over.

He hates these messages.

He wiped his cheeks with a wet towel and didn't even look at the game.

Westbrook is still fighting to win.

This time, he ignored tactical arrangements, as he often does.

He chooses to trust his instincts, which can sometimes have a negative effect on the entire team.But on the other hand, it makes him more elusive and therefore more difficult to restrain him.

When everyone knows that Westbrook is going to play alone, this "unpredictable" instinct may put Westbrook in a double-team situation, instead of using a pick-and-roll to shake off the opponent and then complete the dunk on the opponent's goalkeeper. .

Stephenson's body was tense, and Westbrook was like a ball of fire, constantly attacking him.

The first step away from the string like an arrow broke Stephenson's defense, and then he pulled out a zombie jumper.

Stephenson stood still, watching his shot go down.

"Don't think that this game will go as you wish, as long as I don't fall down, the game is not over!"

"Never!"

Westbrook yelled, he had more fighting spirit than anyone on the court.

His performance is enough to infect others.

His teammates put away the negativity, raised their spirits, and put themselves into the game again.

"There is one player who unleashes the same passion every game, shows the same tenacity and the same strong desire to win, and he is Russell Westbrook. He always gives it his best, no matter what. No matter who the odds are against him, he will give it his all. This guy will give 110 percent every game."

As soon as Angus's voice fell, Li Xing attacked with the ball from the free throw line, causing Aldridge's fourth foul.

Brooks is going to replace him with Kendrick Perkins, who has four fouls.
