legendary basketball guard

Chapter 113 Narrow Victory?Fight back!

The Thunder sped up their offense, with Russell Westbrook sprinting upfield with the ball, holding it for two or three seconds on the perimeter, before handing the ball to Kevin Durant, who was bypassing Ibaka's pick-and-roll screen.

Kevin Durant bypasses Ibaka's pick-and-roll screen, Dirk also takes advantage of the opportunity to switch to Adu, and the two match up.The star players of the two teams met for the first time.

Kevin Durant leaned against Dirk Nowitzki unhurriedly, then suddenly turned and accelerated.

Dirk Nowitzki's defense has been hovering around the passing line. After Durant accelerated, he dribbled the ball under his crotch, feinted a shot, directly broke through Dirk Nowitzki's defense line, and reached the three-second zone. Tyson Chandler stood still, looking fierce as if he wanted to chew Durant alive.

Durant didn't take it to heart at all, he knew his own strength very well.One step forward, ready to violently abuse the box, Lin Xiao saw this scene, and directly covered his eyes.Kevin Durant underestimated Tyson Chandler's ability to protect the rim.

"Kevin~Chandler! Oh, Chandler! Chandler blocked Kevin Durant, great shot. Oh my god, Lin Xiao of the Mavericks covered his eyes before blocking the shot , Did he expect this result? This is really great. Tyson~!!! Chandler!"

The Thunder paused for a short time, Kevin Durant was a little dazed, and the ball was completely capped.

"Kd, how are you?" Russell Westbrook and James Harden asked.

"It's okay, but the big man on the opposite side is not so easy to deal with." Kevin Durant is a smart player, as can be seen from most of his shot choices.In order to win the game, it is best to try to choose less breakthroughs and more shots from the outside. However, Westbrook's outside shots are not very good.

Durant chose to play Caron Butler or Sean Marion on the outside, or Lin Xiao. In short, he didn't go inside. On the contrary, it was much more efficient than going inside, but he got a lot of boos, even the audience. The fans all yelled softball in unison.

Dirk Nowitzki played with a touch, and kept turning his back to cause damage. With a touch of the inside line, Ibaka completely went to rest in the third quarter, and the fourth foul left the field.Durant also began to use his not-so-mature fadeaway jumper to score points, and Lin Xiaotley responded with a three-pointer from the outside.Lin Xiao started playing again in the fourth quarter.

Lin Xiao singled Harden with his back, Lin Xiao was blocked by Harden, and his dribble slowed down. At this time, Harden rushed forward, trying to steal the ball. Lin Xiao quickly turned around with his left pivot foot and took off directly. Hit the board inside. With a "bang", the basketball didn't go straight into the basket, but bounced off the backboard, hit the basket's neck, and bounced into the basket.

"The ball went in!" Lin Xiao waved his hand excitedly, but James Harden returned a step-back jumper when he came back. "This ball cannot be defended." Lin Xiao shook his head and said.Harden's step-back is really proficient, unless he doesn't go in himself, the rhythm is too good, if Lin Xiao really takes off to block the block, it is probably two plus one.

"Slow down," Jason Kidd reminded.At the same time found Haywood for a screen, went inside, stopped at the free throw line, missed the jumper, Tyson Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound, tipped, no, long pass, Westbrook hit the fast break with both hands buckle.Too fast to catch up at all.

"This ball is mine, take your time." Jason Kidd firmly controlled the movement of everyone on the field, Lin Xiao and Caron Butler crossed positions, Caron Butler handed the ball to Haywood, and Haywood Wood stood still and raised the ball high, Lin Xiao used Tyson Chandler's pick and roll, went directly to the low post on the right side, turned over and made a jumper again!
The Thunder's sense of rhythm is getting faster and faster. With their rapid rotation, the Mavericks don't have many good opportunities for a while.Westbrook ran desperately, Jason Kidd's defense was completely sieved, and soon Rick Carlisle couldn't wait, and replaced Lin Xiao.

Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Caron Butler, Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler.At the last moment, Rick Carlisle still didn't quite believe Lin Xiao.

"Pass! Keep passing, there must be a chance! If you can't find a chance, keep passing." Scott Brooks' roar on the sidelines was extremely redundant.Rick Carlisle's calm was a stark contrast to him.

Kidd will naturally choose the most reasonable tactics on the court. At this time, it is a bit redundant for Rick Carlisle to shout at the players.

Kidd restricts the opponent's first shot point, which is Westbrook, but Westbrook is not an ordinary point guard. The first choice of other point guards to get the ball is to shoot, but he rushes in and shoots the ball. The ball slammed into the basket hard.

Kidd tried to limit his pass, but was passed, Tyson Chandler mentioned a step inside the free throw line, Westbrook still didn't give up, wanted to layup, Dirk Nowitzki's defense was very fast , Although the effect is not very good, but it can be regarded as blocking Westbrook's sight, and Westbrook heard Kevin Durant's voice.

"Pass! Pass!" KD asked for the ball from beyond the three-point line.Westbrook's pass was a bit slower, Sean Marion cut it off directly, flew straight to the frontcourt, and dunked successfully.

This time, just after halftime, he asked Westbrook to come over the ball. Durant directly started the personal scoring mode and continued to score points in singles. Although the efficiency is not high, it is the only feasible way for the Thunder. Well, the task of distributing the ball was given to Jeff Green, obviously he was not doing very well, the task of defending Dirk was given to Jeff Green, but obviously he was beaten into a sieve and replaced by Sergey Baka is better, but his offensive containment is not enough. He would rather let his mid-range shot go than let Durant make a comfortable shot. This is how the stalemate lasted until the last minute.

With the Thunder's possession of the ball, the two sides can still play three offensive and defensive rounds, and the scores of the two sides are the same.In the end, the Thunder still chose to hand it over to Durant and gave him a comfortable singles on the right low post.However, Durant chose to make a strong three-pointer from the outside and scored.Sean Marion's interference has affected Durant's shooting, but Durant's ability to catch and shoot is already at the point of perfection.

The Mavericks handed it over to Dirk, and played Serge Ibaka with a post-up single, which caused another foul. However, the driver who blew the ball, and the boos of the fans in the audience seemed to overturn the Mavericks' stadium.

The referee still upholds the original verdict. Fortunately, Jason Kidd's experience is really good. He directly cut off Durant's breakthrough, and Sean Marion and Caron Butler doubled fast break.

Scored and tied the score again.The Thunder tied the score again, 108:108, the Thunder had the ball, with the last 28 seconds left.

"Kevin Durant gets the basketball, breaks through omg, he makes it again. Damn."

Small cast.Not everyone has such a soft touch. In the last attack, Kidd organized a frontcourt serve. Dirk handed the ball to Kidd with difficulty. At the same time, he walked to the bottom corner and slipped to the baseline. Dirk arrived smoothly with three screens along the way. At the bottom corner, Kidd's pass reached Dirk's hand and the shot was watched by all the fans. The basketball swipe and swipe on the basket, and finally scored. Dirk killed the opponent.The Thunder left Dallas with a loss, and the Mavericks officially replaced the Lakers to take the No. [-] position in the Western Conference.
