Famous NBA

Chapter 91

"Finally caught up."

"Yeah, we've caught up, but we're a little late."

"It's not too late, at least the game is not over yet."

"What's the situation now? You also know that I didn't understand it. It was you at the beginning..."

"It's 115:115, 1 minute and 47 seconds until the end of the game."

"That……"

"47 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks. If you win, you will be the best player in the game."

"After the fight..."

"No, we have to take the last flight to Ljubljana later."

"All right"

…………

…………

What happened in one corner of the Wells Fargo Center, Young didn't know,

but he knows one thing

The output that he and Durant can resist is so much

If you forcefully resist the offense on your shoulders, you may have to enter overtime with a wave of consecutive irons.

So

He tweaked his on-ball defense against Durant

From the original defense of the capital to the primary and secondary means of harassment.

"Aren't you afraid of fouling? If you play the 76ers, you will be finished."

"It's over, it's over, anyway, Atlanta and Miami are a little far away from us." When the two were explaining the facts, Durant broke through.

"It's time to change direction." As soon as Durant's first step was blocked, Young started the topic again.

However, this time there was no talk

"Dang" Yang was right as he expected. After Durant, he also started to strike iron.

"Jerami, take a step to the right" because there was a serious problem with Grant's positioning judgment.

Yang, who can see a little more than others, quickly reminded Grant that there was something wrong with his choice.

As for why not on your own

Because Durant shot a two-pointer at the top of the arc, Young didn't dare to go back to the basket to protect the backcourt rebound before it was too late.

…………

…………

"1 minute and 15 seconds left" 76ers' offensive possession, the ball returned to Young's hands again after 18 seconds on the shot clock
It's just that Young's situation is a little better than Durant's.

Thunder didn't clear enough space for Durant because of Robertson's presence
The 76ers cleared one side for Young

Speaking of which, Young has to thank owner Harris and general manager Hinkie

Although the outside partners I found for myself are not so reliable, they are all three-pointers anyway, even if there are no three-pointers, there are mid-range shots.

If they find themselves a shooting worse than Robertson; and it comes with a guard who tightly blocks the inside.

I guess I have to consider selling the house and moving.

Closer to home

Facing Durant of the same height and size

There are not many ways of Yang

What's more, 24 seconds is so close

Let Young have to optimize his processing again
Lower the center of gravity + fast-paced handover dribble,

The intention of this treatment is to mobilize the defender's center of gravity, thereby reducing the difficulty of breakthrough
But because the attack time is about to reach 0, Yang can't wait any longer

a big step
I'm going to forcibly snatch my position
"boom"

Although Durant has grown into a heavy forward after eight years; but Young's 5 kg weight advantage allows him to forcefully squeeze Durant away and get stuck in his position.

Because it took a few seconds, the next step is naturally
Leaping - Airborne Projectile

The long two-point throw, which is hardly used in the nba, has gone wrong at this moment

It didn't fly into the hoop as planned, it flew towards the back edge of the hoop
Young was really surprised when he missed the "no" ball.

"pause"

1 minute 06 seconds.Donovan, who holds 3 timeouts at the same time as Brett Brown,
Changed own pause count from 3 to 2
Soon, the 90-second pause came to an end
…………

…………

Because it is the final stage, the two sides did not make any personnel adjustments

"Pick-and-roll cover man" When Young, who was chasing Durant, found himself running into the double screen of Roberson and Ibaka, he knew that the offensive round was over.

"Durant" but he didn't believe in evil and hurriedly reminded him.

"I'll come" Because Lee's defense size is really not as good as Young and Covington, Brett Brown adjusted his opponent again during the timeout.

Covington, who was guarding Robertson, quickly dropped Robertson to switch to Durant after hearing the shout.

Facing Durant, who has one of the best projections in history, Covington's defense speed is obviously not enough.

Because it was his own mistake, Yang pulled himself together to see where the projection would end up.

"Right!" A surprise happened. In Young's judgment, Durant's three-pointer would not enter the frame.

"Damn." When Yang's glasses swept to the ground, he suddenly found Ibaka in that position.

The position is occupied, so sweeping and beating became Jan's only choice
The moment Yang's hand touched the ball, the referee's whistle sounded:

"Blue No. 22 made a rebounding foul, and White No. 9 executed 2 free throws." Because the 76ers' first four fouls have already reached the standard, except for offensive fouls

Thunder want free throws
"Did I foul? I remember that I didn't make small moves, or did I jump high?" Because he was called for the fifth foul, Young had to talk to the referee.

"..."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to defend the backcourt. By the way, I only got one foul." Seeing Ibaka's first free throw, Young ran to the basket.

"clang"

As expected, Ibaka missed the second free throw

"Mine" For the 13th rebound, Young is determined to get it.

"di"

"Whistle again????" Because it was the fifth foul, Young was extremely sensitive to the whistle.

"White 12, rebounding foul."

"Fortunately, not me"

Though not Young, Adams' rebound doesn't get Thunder into bonus phase
116:115
48.7 seconds to the end of the game

Young, who controls the ball for the 76ers, clearly knows that he needs to use up his offensive time in the next offensive round.

At 42 seconds, Young dribbled the ball past halftime, and he began to wait quietly for the passage of time

36 seconds, ………

At 32 seconds, after 17 seconds of the offensive clock, Young called out Lee
Although he was puzzled about coming to the top of the arc to set a screen, Lee came anyway.

Going around cover and squeezing cover will take some time,
Faced with Young, who has scored 7 three-pointers, Westbrook cannot dare to choose these two methods

Then
Switching is the only option
The 1-meter Westbrook has become his own defender, so the next choice is simpler:

strong sudden
Westbrook's lateral movement isn't as good after his knee injury

So

One step up and you're done
"Throw again" with 2 seconds left in the attack time, he raised his head and chose a long two-point throw
"Perfect throw, Young gave the 76ers the lead again."

When the time came to 25.4 seconds, Young hit a throw and scored the 49th point of the game.

"pause."

"There should be 1.4 seconds left." On the way back to the bench, Young was thinking about what to do next.

…………

…………

"Westbrook and Durant's pick-and-roll, the Thunder once again took out their bottom-of-the-box weapons."

With 7 seconds left in the end, the Thunder once again used Westbrook and Durant's pick-and-roll as their trump card.

　The next update should be on the 21st or 22nd
