basketball legend manager

On the first attack after returning, Westbrook passed the ball to Durant.

After KD caught the ball, he immediately encountered George's personal defense.

After the two struggled for a few seconds, the referee blew the whistle - George committed a defensive foul.

"George's aggressiveness today has obviously improved a lot compared to the previous game."

Yu Jia commented timely.

"This is a good thing. Durant is actually quite afraid of this kind of defense. But if George defends like this when he comes up, he may get into foul trouble."

Yang Yi added.

His eyes returned to the field.

The Thunder serve from the sideline.

Sefolosha passed the ball to Westbrook, who held the ball and observed, looking for opportunities to pass to Durant.

But George's off-ball defense was very good. No matter how Durant moved, he didn't get a good chance to catch the ball.

Seeing the attack time passing second by second, Westbrook had no choice but to launch the attack himself.

He lowered his center of gravity, moved his hands on his hips, and moved towards McGrady.

McGrady implements the strategy of "shooting but not bursting" and has always kept a distance from Westbrook.

Seeing this, Turtle dribbled one step inside the three-point line, and the zombie shot...

"Shua~"

The basketball hits the net!

At 8:2, the Thunder finally broke the deadlock.

McGrady's expression was calm, not affected by Westbrook's goal at all.

In the pre-game strategy meeting, Mark Jackson once said that Westbrook's shooting ability is unstable, but if he is allowed to shoot, he will definitely lose some points.

This is an allowed loss of points!

Rockets offense.

Yao and Mai have performed well before, and now Curry has to take action too.

He and Griffin played a pick-and-roll tactic at a 45-degree angle on the left.

With the help of the screen, Curry successfully got rid of Westbrook's defense.

After getting to the basket, he faced Perkins' defense, hit the board with a freehand high throw, and sent the ball into the basket.

10:2!

After changing sides, Durant got stuck in the low post and asked for the ball.

Westbrook passed the ball with a lob.

But at the same time, Curry decisively gave up defending Sefolosha and rushed to help George defend.

The two formed a pincer attack on Durant.

KD couldn't get the ball off and could only pass the ball out.

Sefolosha caught the ball in an open position and was immediately ready to take action.

But the Rockets' defense rotated quickly, and Tracy McGrady took three steps and two steps at a time, and was already in front of him.

Sefolosha switched to passing, trying to pass the ball to Westbrook.

Unexpectedly, his passing intention was predicted by McGrady.

t-mac reached out while running, intercepted the ball, and then rushed towards the Thunder half with the ball.

Sefolosha secretly thought something was wrong, so he gave chase.

But Tracy McGrady's speed and explosive power are beyond his comparison!

After running a few steps, t-mac completely threw Sefolosha away.

On the other hand, Westbrook on the other side of the court chased back like crazy and actually caught up with McGrady.

T-mac noticed Westbrook on the right with his peripheral vision.

In the blink of an eye, he made an offensive choice - dunk him!

Ever since, after the talent showdown with Ibaka, McGrady once again competed with another talent from the Thunder.

This time, both of them took off on one foot after a run-up. It was an absolute showdown of speed and strength.

As the saying goes, when two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins; when two brave men compete, the strong one wins!

Tracy McGrady jumped up on the spot like a spring on his feet, jumping to a height above the basket above his head.

But Westbrook jumped up, but his outstretched hand only hit McGrady's forearm.

"Beep!"

"boom!!!"

When the referee's whistle sounded, McGrady dunked the ball hard.

Two points scored, plus a penalty!

McGrady walked to the free throw line and was naturally greeted by loud boos from the entire audience.

But at the same time, a few fans wearing red jerseys stood up and cheered for T-Mac in the stands.

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei in the box also smiled knowingly.

"These guys are all real warriors."

Sun Yue sighed.

"After the game is over, I asked the assistants to give each person a season ticket."

Shen Fei smiled.

McGrady took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and added penalties to make a steady hit.

13:2, the Rockets' lead has reached double digits.

Seeing that the team was in a huge passive situation, Durant knew that he needed to stand up.

Because George had difficulty catching the ball before, he simply brought the ball up from the backcourt this time.

Upon seeing this, George ran directly to the logo area, waiting for Durant's arrival.

After all, kd is nearly 2.1 meters tall, so it is quite a headache to face pressing attacks from the outside.

Therefore, he could only turn his back, use his body to separate the ball from George, and call his teammates to step forward to pick and roll.

Ibaka quickly stepped up and helped Durant block George.

KD successfully got rid of it, but soon met Griffin's defense again.

But Griffin's defensive ability cannot be compared with George's.

Durant made a big left hand crossover and easily passed him.

In an instant, a hole was torn open in the Rockets' defense by KD.

Facing the open space in front of him, Durant raised his right hand to burn the sky and headed towards the penalty area.

Yao Ming wanted to return to defense, but as soon as he moved, he found that he was blocked by Perkins.

"bang!"

13:4.

Durant used Thor's Hammer to bring life back to the Energy Arena, which had been dormant for a long time!

During the Rockets' offensive round, all Thunder fans stood up and cheered for the team in unison:

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

...

The deafening sound seemed to be about to knock off the roof of the arena at the next moment.

The two CCTV hosts who were broadcasting on the scene lamented that these fans were the sixth man of the Thunder!

Just when people thought the Thunder were going to take advantage of Durant's dunk, McGrady once again unreasonably pulled out the ball after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line...

"Shua~"

...

...

After the goal was scored, the scene fell into a deadly silence.

A fan who was shouting loudly just a moment ago opened his mouth slightly but could not make any sound.

T-MAC's three-pointer directly silenced the Energy Arena!

16:4, the score difference widened again.

In the next few minutes, the two teams returned to parity, and the point difference remained at around 10 points.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the score reached 30:20.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, the coaches of both sides unanimously deployed their troops.

On the Thunder side, except for Ibaka and Sefolosha, all three players took a break, and Harden came on with two substitutes.

Their lineup is: Harden, Cook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, Collison.

The Rockets boldly performed five ups and five downs, and the lineup became: Jeremy Lin, Roy, Danny Green, Yi Jianlian, and Ben Wallace.

Shen Fei in the box saw the formations of both sides and said: "The Thunder's wing reserves are really poor. Apart from Durant, they can't even find a serious forward who is two meters tall."

Sun Yue was a little puzzled after hearing this: "Durant can basically play more than 40 minutes in a game, plus Sefolosha can also play for a while, it should be enough, right?"

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

During this period of 11 years, people obviously lacked understanding of the importance of wing players.

Even if there are top small forwards like James and Durant, everyone still prefers that the one who can win inside will win the world. They think that having a big center who can support the sky is the most important thing.

But as a time traveler, Shen Fei knows very well that the pace of basketball in the future will be faster and the requirements for mobility and overall height will be very high.

A team with a luxurious striker group is very popular!

However, Shen Fei didn't want to explain too much to Sun Yue now.

Looking at the inside line composed of Yi Jianlian and Ben Wallace, Shen Fei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly: "There will be a good show later."

Sun Yue opened his eyes curiously.

"You'll know right away."

Shen Fei said lightly.

............

The game restarts and the Thunder attack.

Harden carried the ball through half the court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

The Rockets sent Danny Green to defend.

Green's lateral speed is not top-notch, but his defensive awareness is excellent.

Harden tried several fake moves but failed to deceive him.

In desperation, Brother Deng had no choice but to raise his hand and signal the inside line to step forward to cover.

Ibaka rushed over and set up a pick-and-roll for Harden.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Harden successfully got rid of Danny Green and then accelerated towards the penalty area.

Facing Yi Jianlian who was on defense, Harden took three steps directly.

Obviously, he didn't think this power forward from China could pose any threat to him.

But when Harden was really ready to take action, he suddenly discovered that Yi Jianlian not only kept up with his pace, but also jumped to a high point with extremely fast bounces!

The current situation is...if Harden does not change his tactics, he will not be able to escape the hot pot meal!

In the flash of lightning, Harden turned slightly sideways in the air, leaned against Yi Jianlian with his body, and then threw the ball toward the basket with his right hand...

In this way, the risk was indeed avoided, but the basketball shot was somewhat unremarkable.

The ball hit the backboard and flew directly across the bridge to the other side without even touching the basket.

Ben on the other side leaped high and steadily grabbed the rebound.

The Rockets launched a counterattack!

During the fast break, Jeremy Lin made a decisive move and headed towards the heart of Thunder.

He is extremely fast and can make changes of direction, dribble behind his back and other actions at any time while running.

Along the way, Thunder players tried to intercept three times, but without exception, Shuhao successfully resolved them all.

"Wow, the scholar's excellence is achieved one after another..."

Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't talk about anything else, just talking about impact and dribbling ability, Shuhao is definitely the top level among NBA guards."

Yang Yi couldn't help but praise.

In the end, Shu Hao succeeded in riding alone and used a one-handed chop to rewrite the score to 32:20.

After changing sides, Harden once again played a pick-and-roll with Ibaka.

This time, Deng did not force the ball, but used an extremely concealed ground pass to pass the ball to Ibaka.

Ibaka kicked off his feet and soared into the sky, heading straight for the basket.

At the critical moment, two figures suddenly jumped up and started intercepting in the air one after the other!

One of the two figures is Da Ben and the other is Yi Jianlian.

The two of them each stretched out one hand and pressed it firmly on the basketball, directly knocking Ibaka down while dribbling the ball.

After Ibaka fell to the ground, he hugged the basketball tightly. Yi Jianlian quickly jumped on him, and the two immediately became entangled.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, let's fight for the ball!

"fxxk..."

Ibaka vomited sweet fragrance, and when he stood up, he pushed Yi Jianlian.

In the past, the honest Arab Lian might have resisted and suffered the loss of being dumb.

But today when he was being pushed, a thought suddenly came to his mind - give him an offensive foul!

While Yi Jianlian was still wondering why he had such an idea, his body fell down uncontrollably.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded again, and the referee directly called Ibaka a technical foul!

Ibaka looked confused.

He just got a little emotional after being blocked and didn't mean to hurt anyone else.

He knew in his heart the force of the push just now. It was impossible to push a 2-meter-1 tall man to the ground.

"He's acting, referee!"

Ibaka rushed to the referee to explain, but the referee didn't want to pay attention to him.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian was pulled up by Shuhao and Roy with one hand each.

"You made the foul, you punish it."

Roy said calmly.

In this lineup, he is the core of the Rockets.

Yi Jianlian did not refuse, after all, his shooting ability is indeed very suitable for free throws.

However, when he stepped to the free throw line, he was naturally greeted with deafening boos.

The fans were not satisfied after booing Yi Jianlian, and pointed their finger at the referee:

“referee.sucks!”

“referee.sucks!”

“referee.sucks!”

...

Yi Jianlian took a deep breath, dribbled the ball three times slowly, and then calmly took the shot...

"Shua~"

Basketball goes hollow into the net.

33:20.

After the ball is scored, it still belongs to the Rockets.

Green served from the sideline and passed the ball to Roy.

When Huang Mamba saw that Harden was guarding him, he immediately signaled his teammates to pull away. He wanted to play solo!

This is also something Mark Jackson mentioned in the pre-game strategy meeting.

During the game, whenever there is an opportunity to consume Harden on the offensive end, he must resolutely play!

The other four Rockets players retreated to the left side of the court, completely clearing the right side.

Roy lowered his center of gravity, stepped out with his left foot, and made several crotch dribbles in succession.

Harden was unmoved. He was very familiar with this rhythm of dribbling.

But soon, Roy raised his center of gravity and turned his back, preparing to hit him from behind.

Just when Harden was about to fight, Huang Mamba suddenly changed hands to dribble, turned back, and then accelerated towards the baseline to break through.

Harden was deceived and quickly moved sideways to pursue the defense, but he had lost his best defensive position.

Roy accelerated his breakthrough to the baseline, then stopped and shot a fadeaway jumper...

bingo!

At 35:20, the Rockets already led by as many as 15 points.

In the transition between offense and defense, Harden knew that if he didn't score points in this round, the team would be in danger.

He also called for a singles tactic.

After a dizzying series of crotch dribbles, Harden suddenly took off and sprinted toward the basket.

Danny Green follows him like a shadow, always staying by his opponent's side.

Harden glanced at Green beside him, and then at Ben Wallace not far away...

[It can only be this way.]

Harden thought to himself.

The next moment, he suddenly collected the ball and raised the ball with both hands.

According to the current position, Green's hand will inevitably touch Harden's raised hand.

"James is about to commit another foul. This move is too sure!"

Off the court, Westbrook said excitedly.

But the next moment...
