Chapter 289 Reflection
"Too fascinated, today is too fascinated." Presti shook his head helplessly. Missing an open shot really hurts too much!If this continues, the opponent will immediately tighten their formation, and they will not be able to break through!Fortunately, the other party didn't feel good these few times!
Whiteside got the offensive rebound!To Paul George!
Paul George slow down outside!
Whiteside stepped forward to cover!
Passed the cover and entered the penalty area, and the base was given to Whiteside who went down!
Whiteside catches the ball, takes a dribble, and makes a dunk!
Bang!The ball hit the basket, Ibaka fouled, Whiteside made two free throws!
Whiteside goes to the free throw line,
Whiteside made two free throws and Westbrook advanced with the ball.
Facing Thompson, Jordan stepped forward to cover, and with the help of Jordan's cover, he walked to the left, and Jordan went down!
Ground pass!
趟
the ball is gone...
Paul George burst out from the side and grabbed the ball!
Quickly bring to the frontcourt!
Chasing three-point shot!
Still miss!
Westbrook gets a rebound
Westbrook quickly went to the frontcourt, faced Thompson, and made a tough breakthrough!
Get over it!
The Hornets penalty area began to shrink, Westbrook rushed to the basket, facing Whiteside and Paul George, who was double-teaming, no longer forced it, but gave the ball to Ibaka who had just been emptied!
Ibaka takes the ball and makes a mid-range shot!
No hit!
"Lucky!" Presti said happily in his heart.
But Ibaka is self-reliant!
Get your first offensive rebound of the game!
After winning, it was transferred to Durant on the right in a wide range, and Durant directly pulled the ball after taking the ball!
Finally hit!
The commentator Chris Webber said with a sigh of relief: "Durant is still stable. Although he missed a few shots before, he can always stand up if he needs points!"
And Barkley agreed: "That's true, I don't know who the Hornets will come out to score!"
Curry brought it to the frontcourt!
Hand it over to low post Paul George!
Jimmy Butler cuts through the middle!
Catch the ball and fly straight to the basket!
This time Ibaka did not interfere!
"Haha, finally scored! The iron fight is over!" Barkley laughed.
And after the iron fight just now, the Thunder players also realized that Durant's touch still exists in their own team, so in the next offense, they gave Durant singles consecutively!And Westbrook continued to use his breakthrough ability to tear the line of defense and change the defense of the Hornets!
As for the Hornets, Presti still uses mutual transmission of the ball, especially to increase the coordination of air cuts, and once the outside line has a chance, he will resolutely shoot!Only when the shot is opened can the Thunder's defense be changed, the space will be opened, and the cooperation will be smoother!
Although the Hornets' inside height is not enough, they didn't lose too many rebounds for a while, because once the Thunder makes a shot, all members will participate in rebounding, and the Thunder will not be given a second chance to score!
The two sides began to get anxious, and the point difference has been maintained at about 10 points.
In the final stage, the two sides began to substitute players!
The Thunder replaced Harden again, and replaced Matthews to increase offensive firepower!
And Presti replaced Jimmy Butler with David West, also in order to increase the offense! .
As soon as Harden came on the court, the Thunder's offense immediately had another starting point!
Continuously caused Thompson's fouls!
This foul-making ability is simply unsolvable!
The Hornets' offense is still supported by the singles of David West and Paul George who just came up, but at this time David West's shortcomings have also been exposed.
The help defense is very general, and the result of this is that Westbrook frequently hits the inside! Fortunately, at the end of the game, Curry's touch finally returned a little bit, and two consecutive throws from the free throw line were hit, so that the score was not stretched too far!
At the end of the second quarter, the Thunder led the Hornets 53:42.
In the locker room, the atmosphere was dull. Everyone knew what the problem was. The outside line felt bad, which caused the opponent's defense to tighten up. Many coordinations were not possible. Curry took the lead and said, "My fault, I missed a few open positions!"
David West also immediately took the blame: "My help defense speed is too bad, let Westbrook rush in many times! My fault"
Paul George also said: "I didn't play well either. I didn't switch defenses in place a few times, and the offense was even worse. I didn't score twice!"
······
"Okay, you guys didn't fight well, so you don't need to take the blame here and there," Presti said angrily.
In fact, Presti also knew that they couldn't be completely blamed. After all, they had too little experience in the playoffs, and it was the first time they fought in such a devil's home court. In addition, the Thunder's strength was already very strong, and it was very normal to be abnormal!
Presti thought for a while and said: "It's still the same in the second half, and we must shoot resolutely when there is an opportunity! We must shoot the blue! Only in this way can we have space to execute tactics and have a chance of winning!"
On the Thunder side, Brooks praised the players with a smile and said: "We played very well in the first half and successfully limited the Hornets. In the second half, our tactics remained the same and defeated them in one go!"
The second half of the game begins!
The Thunder fans were excited at this time. In the past, there were not too many people in the stadium at the beginning of the third quarter, but today's game gave them hope of winning. Therefore, there were not only many Thunder fans in the stadium at this time, but they also chanted "OKC" to support the Thunder!
Westbrook quickly brought to the frontcourt!
Start suddenly!
Continue to attack the basket!
David West is still a step behind!
Layup hit!
Curry gives the ball to Paul George, Paul George holds the ball at the top of the arc, Curry runs without the ball,
But the embarrassing thing is that because Curry made 8 of 2 three-pointers in this game, the defenders didn't mean to chase him with all their strength, and ran out of the open space easily!
Paul George passed the ball and Curry made an open shot!
Still iron! ! ! ! ! ! !
"Luck is no longer here." Presti sighed helplessly. There is no way. Curry can be said to be a god-level shooter in NBA history, but he will also have an embarrassing performance of 10-of-0 three-pointers in a single game. I can only say that the Thunder's basket hates your shots tonight.
After the Thunder Durant got the ball in the low post, Whiteside went to double-team, Durant passed the ball to Jordan who missed it, and Jordan dunked easily!
Presti really wanted to go on the field and yell at them. During the intermission, he said that the low post cannot be double-teamed today, because the Thunder players are in very good condition today.
Curry quickly pushed to the frontcourt, and Whiteside came out to cover!
Move one step sideways and shoot directly!
Still strike!
Westbrook gets the rebound!
Go all out!
Can't catch up!
Counter dunks directly!
Beep!Presti called a timeout!
"The third quarter is almost over, and the Hornets still haven't found an offensive state. Today, the Hornets are hanging!" Chris Webber said.
"The Hornets are too confused today, they basically didn't cooperate! What's the reason?" Barkley asked confused
After the timeout, the state of the Hornets still hasn't improved, while the state of the Thunder is stable!
In the end, the Hornets lost to the Thunder 92:107 away!The series score came to 2:1!When the game ended, a large number of reporters poured into the stadium!
