Chapter 365: Everywhere
Chapter 365: Everywhere
The athletic ability of the players on the Lakers field is particularly good. They ran to the middle one after another, blocking Westbrook's layup space.
Westbrook likes to play brutally, ignoring the many defensive players of the Lakers, taking the ball directly in the penalty area and trying to draw fouls.
Xu Tian's dynamic vision was too good, and he reacted quickly to pat the ball that Westbrook was holding, preventing him from fully jumping and fighting for a chance to scrimmage the ball.
Westbrook heard the whistle, at first he thought it was a defensive foul by the Lakers players, but when he saw that it was a scrimmage, he immediately broke out and went to argue with the referee.
Durant was right in the vicinity, stopping the impulsive Westbrook to avoid being called a more serious technical foul by the referee.
Westbrook was still aggrieved, but the result of the penalty had already appeared, and there was no way to change it.
Xu Tian and Westbrook stood facing each other, squatting down halfway, with their right hands slightly extended to prepare for the ball.
The referee throws the ball, leading the two players to take off.
Xu Tian was at a disadvantage in bullet speed, but had an absolute advantage in height. He encountered basketball earlier than Westbrook and shot it to Kobe who was in the open.
Kobe didn't choose to hold the ball and gave it back to Xu Tian.
Facing Robertson's tight defense, Xu Tian calmly relied on his strength to push to the frontcourt while observing the Thunder's defensive position.
George looked at Xu Tian with his eyes, and made a gesture with his right hand that only the Lakers players could understand. After getting the response, he started to run back.
Durant was in charge of defending George, but his attention was somewhat on Xu Tian before, and he was a little unable to react.
Xu Tian's pass was like a scalpel, cutting through the Thunder's carefully arranged defense and passing it to George, who was hitting the basket without the ball.
George is 206 cm tall, not much shorter than Ibaka, holding the ball with both hands, and forced a layup during the confrontation.
Durant followed up and wanted to complete the block, but unfortunately the whistle came first, and his defense became futile.
Ibaka spread his hands flat, shrugged innocently, walked over to communicate with the referee, and asked about the foul just now.
What the referee can't tolerate is the player's swearing, and he can still accept the calm inquiry. He simply explains a few sentences, and then asks Ibaka to stand on the right side of the free throw line, ready to execute the free throw, regardless of whether Ibaka accepts it or not.
Billy Donovan put his hands on his hips, frowned, and communicated with a referee who came to him, bluntly saying that the Lakers players were suspected of offensive fouls when they attacked, and they should be whistled instead of his players for defensive fouls.His remarks were extreme, but fortunately his attitude was not bad, and he did not receive a technical foul.
George withstood the pressure amid the boos of the audience and made two free throws, all of which were hit!
104-105, 1 minutes and 59 seconds!
When the game enters within 2 minutes, the scale of confrontation will be relaxed, and the situation will become more tense.
Durant and George fought fiercely, and the sound of their muscles colliding was clearly audible, which made the audience in the front row secretly startled.But that's how a basketball game should be, otherwise it wouldn't be so glamorous.
Relying on his height advantage, Durant turned over and leaned back again, trying to stabilize the point difference through unsolvable mid-range shots.Unfortunately, he didn't see Xu Tian from the side.
Xu Tian assisted in the defense when Durant didn't fully take off, grabbed the ball in Durant's hand with his right hand, and directly completed the block.
Durant realized this and leaned back exaggeratedly, trying to create the illusion of being beaten.But the sideline referee was nearby, and he saw clearly that Xu Tian was a good hater, so he didn't make any whistles.
Billy Donovan could no longer tolerate it, and directly sweared at the referee, and got his first technical foul of the game as he wished.
Xu Tian executes a technical foul free throw!
Durant didn't appreciate Billy Donovan very much, and he didn't agree with him taking the initiative to receive a technical foul at this time. He walked to the other side of the court and watched Xu Tian make free throws quietly.
Xu Tian's free throw line is equivalent to sending points, and he made a steady hit!
105-105, 1 minutes and 42 seconds!
The Lakers have the ball!
The frustration Durant felt before affected his performance on the defensive end. He was a little dazed and didn't follow George who was running without the ball.
Xu Tian's ability to seize opportunities is by no means comparable to that of ordinary players. He hit the ground and passed the ball to complete an exquisite coordination.
George dribbled the ball to the basket, attracted Ibaka's defense, and went straight to Black who was standing under the basket.
Blake takes the ball and jumps, trying to finish with a dunk!
With no other options, Adams sprinted from behind and hit Blake in the arm, ruining the must-go dunk.
Billy Donovan had no choice but to call a timeout, and then argued with the referee before the players left the field.
The referee continuously whistled the Thunder for fouls. Although they were all correct, but after all, this was the Thunder's home court, and they immediately received continuous boos.The excited fans in the front row even scolded the referees, saying that they ruined the wonderful game.
The referee can only whistle the players, but cannot control the fans, so they have to pretend not to hear.The three referees got together to unify their respective penalty scales, minimize the final whistleblowing, and hand over the game to the players.
Xu Tian urgently added salt water, kept his mind calm, and took deep breaths continuously to recover his strength.
Scott arranged defensive tactics and asked Xu Tian to switch to Durant, and must complete the defense before he took the ball and made a jump shot.Only Xu Tian, who is good at cutting the ball, can complete this task.
Xu Tian wiped his sweat with a towel, and nodded silently.
The timeout ends and Black stands at the free throw line.
The players on the benches of both sides did not sit down, but stood on the sidelines, watching the rest of the game nervously.
Black is an inside player, always fighting against Ibaka, his muscles are tense, and he only made one of two free throws!
106-105, 1 minutes and 25 seconds!
Westbrook was not impulsive, took the ball to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to Durant, who was standing on the left side of the top of the arc.
Holding the ball in both hands, Durant observed Xu Tian, who lowered his center of gravity in front of him, looking for defensive flaws.He didn't have a pass option in mind, so he wanted to finish the attack directly under Xu Tian's defense.
Xu Tian has a strong ability to cut the ball, and at the same time interferes with the rhythm of the dribble, it is basically impossible to make a frontal breakthrough.Thinking of this, Durant no longer hesitated, relying on the advantage of his height and arm length, he directly shot a three-pointer.
Superstar, the bigger the scene, the more accurate!
Basketball, hollow into the net!
106-108, 1 minutes and 10 seconds!
Xu Tian looked at the scoreboard, received the serve from McGee, dribbled the ball behind his back and easily got rid of Robertson's high-pressure defense, and quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Robertson was afraid that Xu Tian would shoot a super long three-pointer, so he quickly ran in front of Xu Tian and formed a defense again.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball and ran in the opposite direction, tricking Robertson's defense to move outward, turning around and passing him in an instant.
Robertson is the Thunder's most secure defensive gate on the perimeter. Except for him, the rest of the players are hard to cause trouble for Xu Tian.
Ibaka's mobility is quite good among power forwards. He quickly defended and tried to block Xu Tian.
McKee is on the right side of the basket, pointing to the sky with his right hand.
Xu Tian understood, and lightly tossed the ball with his right hand to help McGee take off.
McGee's wingspan is far beyond comparison. He grabbed the ball from the commanding heights, faced Adams' defense, and quickly completed a dunk!
