Chapter 120
As the ball hit the net, the enthusiasm of the fans was ignited again!With one defense and one offense, Tyreke narrowed the point difference between the two teams to 5 points before the end of the first quarter!
When Tyreek walked to the sidelines, Jimmy and Farid excitedly stepped forward and bumped into Tyreek. Tyreek pushed them away calmly, sat on the bench and drank water to rehydrate, and his eyes were still facing the huge stadium. , the game is still very long.

"Very good! Very good! Very good! Just play like this! Play defensive counterattack! Tyreke, you are the core of the offense, everyone cooperates with Tyreke! As long as we always maintain a high-intensity defense, this game is not unbeaten Chance!"

Coach Westphal waited for the players to clap their hands vigorously and shouted to encourage them.

"Jerry, the Thunder were in good shape in the first quarter. Durant and Westbrook scored 11 points and 9 points respectively. Both core players played very well. The team is still biting the score under such circumstances. Judging from the first quarter alone, the team's tactical deployment today is quite effective." Napier and Reyz, who were on the commentary during the break, began to analyze the game situation.

"As you can see, the team put all their focus on defense today, which is expected. After all, the players with the second, third and fourth most points per game in the team were absent at the same time for the team to attack. The impact brought by the end is indelible. With the current lineup, desperate defense is indeed a way out. However, if you want to create real trouble for the Thunder, it depends on Tyreke's performance. In the first quarter, Tyreke made 7 shots Scored a game-high 5 points in 14, Tyreke needs to continue this performance!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Kings' lineup was Tyreke, Morrow, Jimmy, Allen, and Thompson, and the Thunder's lineup was Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Nick Curry. Sen, Nazr Mohammed.

It was the first time that the Thunder's three young players were on the court at the same time in this game. At this time, the Thunder's offensive firepower was beyond the charts!

On the other hand, for the Kings, the starting insiders Faried and Whiteside were replaced. It was the first time this season that Lavoy Allen did not appear in garbage time. There is no chance to play in the game, and he will be played as a regular rotation at this time, which is enough to show that the Kings are stretched.Looking at the other members of the Kings team, apart from Tyreke and Jimmy, Morrow has obvious advantages and disadvantages, poor defense, and a three-pointer in offense. He is a functional player with distinctive characteristics. He has averaged 9.7 points per game so far this season. The interior comes in at number 5.Thompson had a lot of starting opportunities before this season. With the joining of West this season, Thompson was completely reduced to a substitute. Faried and Whiteside were ahead of him, but his strength is still very strong. Stable, standard blue-collar insider, averaged 14.4 points and 5.1 rebounds in 4.2 minutes per game this season.

With such a group of role players on the court, the strength on paper is obviously not comparable to the Thunder's three young men, but the Kings still have Tyreke!
The Kings have always implemented the tactical concept of this game. The defensive end is infinitely exhausted, half-time man-to-man, and even Morrow, who is weak in defense, tries his best to fight with opponents. The second-round pick Allen finally got playing time He also played hard to score. Although the Thunder's offensive firepower was ferocious, the Kings' almost crazy defense allowed the team to withstand the Thunder's offensive wave to a certain extent.

The increase in defensive concentration will inevitably increase the physical consumption of the players, and the investment in the offensive end will also decrease, so the capital to bite the score still comes from Tyrek!

Once the Thunder failed to complete an attack, Tyreke immediately asked for the ball, and quickly counterattacked as soon as he got the ball. Tyreke's dribbling on the move played to the extreme in this game, and no one could stop him. Can live with him!
As the Thunder failed to score in two consecutive rounds of offense, Tyreke made two counter-attack layups in the same offensive way twice in a row. Thunder coach Scott Brooks called a timeout. At this time, the Thunder The team led the Kings by 44 points 41-3.

During the timeout, there was continuous cheering and cheering in the audience.

"Tyreke! Tyreke! Tyreke!"

"Typhoon! Typhoon! Typhoon!"

In this game, Tyreke's fierce and quick counterattack was indeed like a typhoon passing through, ravaging the Thunder's defense!

The talent of the Thunder team allowed them to make quick adjustments after the timeout. Facing the Kings' strict defense, the Thunder team slowed down the offensive rhythm appropriately, and patiently attacked to find open shots. The three offensive killers played leisurely. The cooperation made the Kings feel a headache even more. The strength of the defense did not decrease, but the impact on the Thunder was getting smaller and smaller. The number of team fouls was increasing, and it could not stop the Thunder from scoring.The offensive versatility of Durant, Westbrook, and Harden makes it difficult for them to man-to-man if they actively move around and use space to cooperate. After all, not everyone in the Kings is a defensive leader .

Although the Thunder strengthened their teamwork and improved their offensive efficiency under the man-to-man defense of the Kings, the Thunder still couldn't solve Tyreke's influence on the court.

Tyreke, who has fully turned on the offensive mode, has shown all his offensive talents on the offensive end. Before, he needed his teammates to cover him or simply counterattack quickly. At this time, he has completely started individual singles, and he controls the ball alone. Team Attack!

In a one-on-one situation, Tyreke is unreasonably aggressive, and this change is not enough, so twice!If two times is not enough, then three times!With his pinnacle of ball feel, he can always pass the opposing defender!
Even in the face of double-teaming, Tyreke still has the determination to solve the battle. From passing through the crowd, stepping back and jumping after shaking the front, [-]v[-] difficult folding layup, post-up singles, Tyreke With dazzling offensive skills, he was constantly fighting against the three thunderbolts.

Tyreke's strength on the offensive end also created opportunities for other Kings players on the field. With a breakthrough from Tyreke, the ball was given to Morrow in the bottom corner, and Morrow rushed up to double-team Tyreke. Before turning around, Harden raised his hand and made a three-pointer!Hit!

At this time, there are still 17 seconds before the end of the second quarter, and the Kings are 2 points behind the Thunder!
On the final attack of the second quarter of the Thunder, Westbrook dribbled the ball in the frontcourt to suppress the time, and started to accelerate with 8 seconds left, facing Tyreke and preparing to break through from the left side forcibly!

"Snapped!"

Tyreke leaned against Westbrook's breakthrough line with his tall body, and at the same time, his right hand sneaked around behind Westbrook and smashed the ball!

Westbrook quickly turned around to chase the ball, and the timer stopped at this time!Halftime is over!The Kings, who are short of major generals, are only 2 points behind the Thunder!Tyreke scored 33 points at halftime!
