NBA bench saves national team

beep!

A whistle blows at the Ford Center.

The pre-match warm-up session is finally over.

The game is about to start.

Amidst the warm cheers of the audience, the starting players of both sides appeared on the stage.

The Lakers starting lineup is:

Center: Gasol;

Power Forward: Ryan Anderson;

Small Forward: Qin Feng;

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant;

Point guard: Lowry;

The Thunder's starting lineup is:

Center: Perkins;

Power forward: Ibaka;

Small forward: Durant;

Shooting guard: Batum;

Point guard: Westbrook;

Originally, Batum played the position of small forward, but because Durant firmly occupied the starting position of small forward, head coach Brooks arranged him at the position of shooting guard.

This season, Batum was still a little uncomfortable in the scoring position, and has been in a downturn for nearly a month.

After entering December, he gradually adapted to this position, and his state is gradually recovering.

In the downturn, he averaged only 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was below 40%.

如今状态恢复，他场均有14.5分6.5篮板4.9助攻1.4抢断的全面表现，投篮命中率也是回暖到46%左右。

At the same time, Batum averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game, which is a very important three-pointer for the team.

In addition to Batum, Ibaka's performance this season is also very strong. He has faintly become the league's top power forward, averaging 11.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.4 blocks per game.

Among them, the blocking data ranks among the top five in the league, which is the gate of the Thunder's penalty area defense.

With the excellent performance of these two role players, coupled with the superstar performances of Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder currently have a record of 21 wins and 5 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Second only to the Lakers with 24 wins and 1 loss.

After the players of both sides fall behind.

Gasol and Perkins for a jump ball.

The basketball was shot in the frontcourt, and the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for halftime, he found Qin Feng tacitly, and passed the basketball over.

He is very clear that under this situation, Qin Feng is the absolute protagonist, so the team's first attack must be completed by Qin Feng.

This is what the audience wants to see, and it is the best and most perfect script.

As for yourself, just do what you can.

The eyes of the audience were all on Qin Feng, but they completely ignored the existence of Lowry. Little did they know that he also played for this team for nearly four years...

Some fans did not forget, and even held a support card to cheer for Lowry.

in this way.

It will suffice.

Qin Feng received the ball at the top of the arc, and Durant quickly defended.

The two faced each other directly.

The fans were also stunned when they saw this scene. The close teammates who used to fight side by side are now opponents who are facing each other!

It's like a lifetime away!

It feels like everything has changed, but it feels like nothing has changed.

Cheers all over the place.

I don't know if I'm cheering for Qin Feng or Durant.

"Dude, it's time to match again! Have you ever forgotten the feeling of being abused by me in the Olympics?"

Qin Feng said with a grin.

"Hmph! At that time, I had just recovered from a serious injury, and my condition had not fully recovered. Now you try again?"

Durant said stubbornly, his mouth was really hard.

"Your performance this season is really good, but you don't know how much you can perform in front of me."

As Qin Feng spoke, he suddenly moved.

The speed of the dribble increased rapidly, and the continuous sharp change of direction shook Durant's defensive center of gravity, and then suddenly stopped near the free throw line and shot a mid-range shot.

It was the [Durant Death Jumper] skill that was used.

"Oh ho ho! Exciting! Qin Feng used Durant's signature stunt on Durant at the beginning of the game - a sudden stop jump shot after a sharp change of direction."

"This is really a bad start! I wonder if Durant can respond?"

Barkley said excitedly.

"For Durant, this game is still very important, and the pressure is also great, regardless of the Christmas game and the attention of the entire Mimi."

"It's just about Durant himself. In fact, he has never been recognized by the fans in this city. Although everyone is cheering for him and calling him mvp, he also knows in his heart that no matter how good he is, he is It cannot replace Qin Feng's position in the hearts of fans in this city."

"The only defense is to defeat Qin Feng!"

"This is the only way to get the approval of the fans."

Reggie Miller said seriously, feeling sorry for Durant.

The position of the second child in a thousand years is really as stable as Mount Tai!

The Thunder attack.

After halftime Westbrook dribbled the ball, he saw Lowry, who had been his substitute, with a fierce look in his eyes. He didn't care about Durant who was reaching out for the ball. He directly put into gear and accelerated. To the restricted area.

Then pull it up and want to dunk.

The Lakers' Anderson's movement speed in the penalty area was slow, and his defensive awareness was weak, so he didn't help defend at all.

Gasol is entangled with Perkins, doppelganger weak.

The gate of the Lakers penalty area was wide open.

Westbrook jumped up and glided for a distance, completing a tomahawk-style snap.

Rumble.

The rim was shaking.

Master Wei fell to the ground, tensed all his muscles, and raised his head to the sky and let out a roar.

There was also cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami at the scene.

I just like watching Master Wei play!

At the same time full of passion, full of fighting spirit!

Durant also ran forward and excitedly gave Westbrook a high-five.

He knows Westbrook's character very well, and once he gets up, he doesn't care about it, so he doesn't care about Westbrook's failure to pass the ball.

Anyway, this game has just started, and he still has enough time to hit a response ball.

Besides, he knows very well that if he wants to win the powerful Lakers, it is not enough to rely on his own strength, he must rely on the performance of the whole team.

If Westbrook feels overwhelming in this game, the chances of winning will be greatly increased.

Lakers offense.

Lowry dribbled the ball for halftime, and after playing a pick-and-roll with Gasol, he broke through to the penalty area and wanted to complete a drop shot, but after seeing Ibaka rushing up at a very fast speed, he decisively gave up the attack and snapped his wrist. Shaking, the basketball was passed to Anderson in the penalty area, and the latter made an easy layup under the basket.

Thunder offensive round.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, he wanted to be reckless again, but he glanced at Durant on the other side, hesitated for a while, and broke into the penalty area against Lowry, jumped up again, and wanted to A layup.

Qin Feng shrank his defense, rushed back, jumped up high from the side, and rewarded Westbrook with a pegboard cap.

Westbrook was stupefied, and froze for a moment with a hideous expression behind his head, and then regained his composure.

damn it!

This is not a wise layup choice!

Durant spread his hands helplessly, and blamed himself for being careless and not reminding Westbrook.

He forgot that Qin Feng not only knows him very well, but also every player in this team!
