basketball myth

The first quarter of the match between the Timberwolves and the Thunder was quite exciting, especially when Li Feng and Kevin Durant both scored more than ten points in a single quarter, which shocked the fans.

The other teammates on both sides also played very well in the game.

After the first quarter, the scores of both teams also climbed to 30 points.

After the second quarter of the game resumed, the two sides were actually still attacking each other non-stop, and the firepower was quite fierce.

The Timberwolves are not known for their defense. In fact, the Thunder's defense is not that strong either.

Although the Thunder have excellent single defense player Thabo Sefolosha, and Ibaka and Perkins are on the inside, but if you really want to say how strong the defensive strength is, it is basically a joke. Because they Their defensive tactics are also very average, at least slightly better than those of the Timberwolves. Therefore, their most powerful thing is their offensive firepower.

Both teams were competing for their sharp offensive skills, so the game scene was naturally more lively and exciting, and even the game progressed very quickly.

Before you knew it, the two sides were playing for more than half of the second quarter.

The score on the field is 55:55, which is already very high. If this was a regular season game, the scores of both sides might be higher. Of course, if they continue to play normally tonight, the score of both sides will easily exceed 100. There is no problem at all. After all, their respective rotations performed well on the court, and their firepower is also quite fierce.

At this time, the rotation lineups of both teams actually have almost enough playing time.

Next, it's time for the main players to return to the field and perform.

The timing of substitutions between the Timberwolves and Thunder tonight was still very coincidental. They sent their main players back to the court almost at the same time.

After seven or eight minutes of rest, Li Feng and others were indeed refreshed and all their strength had returned, and they were about to launch a powerful fire attack on the field again.

Therefore, in the second half of the second quarter, the Timberwolves' offense still maintained a vigorous momentum of full bloom, and became better and smoother as they played.

However, the Thunder team, which is playing at home, has never declined. Under the leadership of Durant, they also performed very well. If Westbrook hadn't made many nonsensical shots, They may even maintain a certain lead over the Timberwolves.

Although, in fact, the two sides barely managed to maintain a relatively balanced score, which made the Thunder fans at the scene a little regretful. But after carefully recalling the various performances of the Thunder, they were still more able to accept the result in front of them.

After all, Westbrook's style has always been like this, and it cannot be said that he was deliberately wasting opportunities. Moreover, the offensive explosive power he showed later tonight was quite amazing, and his contribution was indeed quite good, not completely useless.

Since the score between the two sides never fluctuated much, in the last 24 seconds before the end of the game, it was evenly divided again!

Therefore, including the Thunder fans at the scene, the entire Thunder team is eager and looking forward to it, hoping that they can score the last key goal that belongs to them before midfield and strive to maintain a slight lead over the Timberwolves. Second half.

A one-point lead is a lead, and as long as it is a lead, there is no harm. This is their common wish at this moment.

Kevin Durant once again got this key basketball from Westbrook's hands and had to force it alone.

Although Russell Westbrook wanted to get the ball at this time and let him complete the next key offense. However, due to some pressure from the team's head coach and fans, he still reluctantly handed the ball to Kay.

In the hands of Vin Durant.

Kevin Durant had the ball in his hand, slowly carrying it at the top of the Timberwolves half court, waiting for the opportunity, and seemed to be about to deliver a fatal blow to the Timberwolves.

Faced with the Thunder's final attacking attitude, the Timberwolves players naturally did not want their opponents to suddenly take the lead against them at the last moment before halftime.

Therefore, this time the Timberwolves players were prepared to risk their lives to complete the defense.

Especially Michael Beasley, he became extremely serious and serious, looking at Durant's figure like a tiger staring at its prey without blinking an eye.

Time passed quickly, and Kevin Durant was finally about to take action.

His figure swayed slightly in place, subconsciously testing Beasley first.

Then, he patted the basketball again, took a step forward, and tested Beasley again.

For two consecutive times, Beasley made no obvious movement, and his defensive posture was quite strict and serious.

Then, Durant finally made his offensive probing moves more intense. He turned hard, half leaning on Beasley, and seemed to be turning around.

Beasley worked hard to trap Durant with his body, but at the same time he was still paying attention to whether Durant would turn his body back at some point.

Suddenly, Durant retracted his body slightly, as if he was about to turn back. Then, he suddenly exerted force quickly and still forced the turn along Beasley's body.

After finally completing his turn, the first thing Kevin Durant did was to quickly go to the basket. Next, he would make a layup or maybe use other methods to score.

If he can successfully score the current goal, then for the Timberwolves, not only will they be two points behind, but it will also be a morale blow.

After all, throughout both halves, the Thunder and the Timberwolves performed similarly to each other. A tie is a normal situation and acceptable. But if they suddenly fall behind again, even by just one point, everyone in the Timberwolves will be very unhappy.

They are unwilling to let the Thunder take advantage, and in this round of defense, it can indeed be said that the entire Timberwolves are taking action.

After discovering that Beasley failed to intercept one-on-one, Li Feng and others also took further action to implement a supplementary defense strategy against Durant.

For example, Kevin Love forcibly blocked Durant's body in time, causing Durant's movements to be weird and sudden when he finally took the shot.

Li Feng quickly stayed behind Kevin Love earlier. Taking advantage of the moment when Kevin Love blocked Kevin Durant, he decisively jumped up from behind and blocked the shot.

Blocked Durant's forced shot in front of Love!

This shot was so sudden and dreamy that many people at the scene did not react for a moment.

When Beasley happened to catch the basketball, the scene was finally in an uproar, but there was no other way but to watch the ball on the court suddenly change hands.

For the Timberwolves, this sneak attack and blocked shot, in exchange for a hard-won offensive opportunity, is an opportunity to fight for it. They must score a goal and try to be ahead of the Thunder to live up to this successful defense.

Beasley dribbled the ball and rushed near the Thunder's inside line, but in the end, because the opponent's defender returned to defense in time, he was unable to take a smooth shot for a while.

In order to avoid a similar ending to Durant's just now, he had no choice but to turn around and prepare to hand the basketball to his teammates who were following him, and then let them attack quickly.

However, he immediately discovered that Li Feng was throwing away the defender around him and approaching his position at a very fast speed, with the target being the Thunder's basket.

An idea flashed in Beasley's mind, and he instantly threw the basketball into the sky, then stood back, spread his arms, and forcibly blocked the Thunder player behind him.

Li Feng really had a tacit understanding. When he noticed the basketball flying into the air, he jumped up from Beasley's side and continued to fly high to the front of the basket.

While gliding in the air, he accurately caught the basketball that Beasley had just thrown into the air, and followed it up with a fierce dunk at the basket in front of him!

The Thunder players under the basket, besides being stuck behind Beasley, also actively chose to retreat, not daring to block his powerful impact!

He is about to complete another alley-oop dunk, and it will be a key ball hit. At the same time, it should also be able to increase the momentum and confidence of the Timberwolves.

Bang!

Cleanly, as if hitting a nail with a hammer, Li Feng really easily knocked the basketball into the basket, allowing the Timberwolves to lead the Thunder 76:74.

It was too late for the Thunder players to express their feelings and regrets. They could only serve quickly and use the last little time. As a result, Westbrook's super long three-pointer did not even touch the backboard, and the first half of the game ended.

And the dizzying situation on the court just a moment ago has made many Thunder fans feel helpless. Is this Li Feng specially here to restrain them tonight?

As for Kevin Durant, he was staring at Li Feng with piercing eyes, biting his lips for a long time without blinking.
