() In the second half of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder quickly started crazy offensive tactics again, trying to chase points as much as possible. -》

This time, they still let Russell Westbrook and James Harden board the game together and spread out their attacks. While they can wait for opportunities to attack the Timberwolves, they can also pick up Kevin.

.Durant.

Indeed, a player's offensive power may be limited by the Timberwolves. However, if their three main scoring players play together, it will be difficult to limit them all. If the east is not bright, the west is bright, the existence of the three of them

, which is very offensive in itself, can easily make the Timberwolves lose sight of one thing, making the Timberwolves more tired on defense, affecting the Timberwolves' combat effectiveness, which is very beneficial to the Thunder.

It has to be said that the Thunder's crazy offensive style of using three cores can be regarded as their strongest offensive tactic.

Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, the three of them are already very strong on the perimeter, and now they are all used together. The Thunder are obviously going to compete with the Timberwolves.

It’s time to fight to the death!

Facing the Thunder's slightly aggressive and crazy offensive attitude, the Timberwolves didn't have too many unexpected shocks. After a little awakening and awareness in the locker room, they were already fully prepared for the second half of the game.

Prepare and plan to be in full swing.

Therefore, the continued strength of the Thunder will only make them feel a little emotional, but it will not make them feel afraid. At the same time, it will be easier for them to be inspired by what the Thunder do to their full potential.

Sure enough, with the crazy support of the die-hard fans of the Timberwolves at home, and under the strong control and leadership of Li Feng, the Timberwolves players immediately played a perfect basketball rhythm of all offense, all defense, and flourishing inside and outside.

.

Li Feng can not only support the Timberwolves' offensive firepower on the outside, but also, together with Matt Barnes and Wesley Johnson, can contribute strong energy on the outside defensive end to limit the Thunder's three

Core players.

Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic, two of the Timberwolves' big inside players, also gave full play to their inside strength against the Thunder's two defensive-minded players.

Insiders started attacking like crazy.

The Thunder can implement an explosion of scoring and offense on the outside. They focus all the team's attention on the three sharp knives on the outside.

But the Timberwolves can blossom both inside and outside, and can gradually make effective contributions on the defensive end.

In such a duel between two teams, who will be stronger will have to go through a completely new battle to find out.

In fact, after the start of the second half, the game between the two sides became more and more exciting and intense. However, the two sides did not decide the winner so quickly.

In the second half, the teams each played their own special characteristics, which were all very good.

Therefore, the points difference the Timberwolves drew against the Thunder in the first half was still firmly between the two teams, without many significant changes.

As the game time goes by, this situation will become a particularly good advantage for the Timberwolves.

Because, as long as they can continue to support the current game situation, then the final victory of this game will definitely belong to them, and there is absolutely no chance of running away.

Therefore, their players suddenly were not anxious at all. Instead, they used this dominant mentality to make the team's mentality more peaceful and serious. They slowly adjusted and improved the team's game state.

At a better level, he becomes more and more like a master who is calm and gentle, killing people invisible.

Unfortunately, the Thunder failed to achieve the set goal with a crazy outburst of scoring from the three core players on the outside. It is indeed not good news for their entire team. If they did not gain a slight advantage in the second half, it was already a failure.

After all, they dug a hole in the first half. It must be filled before they can truly compete with the Timberwolves.

In addition, the Thunder's strongest offensive scoring points are still found in their three core outside players, who are three terrifying killers. However, their inside players can not only do well on the defensive end and occasionally score.

Apart from making some contributions, they really don't have as much of an offensive and defensive balance as the Timberwolves' interior players.

If the Thunder want to change a big unfavorable situation, there are not many good ways to achieve quick results. They can only go all the way, try to use their strongest perimeter strength, and squeeze out more offensive energy.

Come, so as to overwhelm the Timberwolves' balanced game pattern inside and outside.

Naturally, the Thunder never gave up and were still fighting. Then the Thunder's outside trident, headed by Kevin Durant, quickly mustered up the remaining strength and prepared to perform the final crazy performance!

Russell Westbrook soon became accustomed to serving as the Thunder's offensive spearhead again.

He still used his direct and brutal personal style of play, attacking the Timberwolves' position very violently, without paying much attention to rationality.

However, tonight, he had no choice but to meet an extremely desperate opponent, and it could be said that it was Wesley Johnson who was dedicated to dealing with him. His personal performance was much worse, at least not without him.

He is as strong and capable as he usually shows.

Moreover, Russell Westbrook also has a relatively big technical shortcoming, that is, his crazy offensive style of holding the ball, and generally does not take into account his teammates. When he is attacking, other Thunder players basically

It is a matter of waiting and watching and cooperating.

In other words, the power of the Thunder's trident, when Russell Westbrook played the leading role, was more like a fueling tactic in which Westbrook took the lead and others took turns to appear one by one.

, cannot bring out all the power of the three of them at the same time.

Of course, James Harden, who came after Russell Westbrook, is also a master of sticking the ball and needs to occupy a lot of ball rights to show his strength.

In addition, James Harden also encountered Li Feng who was defending him. He was not afraid of his legendary three-attack, three-attack, three-threat approach. Not only was Li Feng physically no worse than him, he was more flexible and more intimidating.

.

Looking at James Harden's offensive performance for a period of time, it is actually not as good as Russell Westbrook.

Seriously speaking, a player like James Harden is more suitable to lead the second team players and act as the absolute core in controlling the ball, so that he can exert some of his power.

Kevin Durant's situation is better. He is a true offensive core figure, tall but flexible, and has a relatively calm personality. He does not rely too much on the ball like his two teammates. Even if he takes

Playing without the ball, he can barely fight.

However, the defensive player Kevin Durant has to face is Matt Barnes of the Timberwolves. He is a super tough guy, and sometimes he can even be a bit too tough.

Matt Barnes, a domineering and crazy tough man, can easily gain a slight momentum advantage against Kevin Durant, who can be called a good old guy.

On the playing field, Matt Barnes really interfered with Kevin Durant very hard. Subtly, it caused Kevin Durant to experience a slight decline in his condition and momentum.

.

When Kevin Durant often tries his best to get rid of Matt Barnes, he still encounters surprise defensive actions from Li Feng from time to time. The situation can't help but become even worse.

…

Throughout the second half and third quarter of the game, both sides basically had the above situation, which was very intense.

However, in the face of the Timberwolves' performance that was almost excellent on offense and defense across the board, the Thunder seemed a little lame most of the time, trapped in a big hole and very passive.

In fact, such a game situation does not fully represent the true strength of these two teams.

It's just that the Timberwolves tonight are so powerful that they have connected their previous series of victories and become more confident and comfortable. In addition, Li Feng is always able to turn the tide at critical moments and perform various tasks on his Timberwolves teammates.

Supervision and encouragement in this sense have allowed the Timberwolves to go on an increasingly strong path and be able to exert 100% or more of their strength.

Not so with the Thunder. They were a little careless and uncomfortable after the start, and were a little lost in the crazy atmosphere of the Timberwolves' home court. Except for the three main core players, the other players were not in very good condition. Even this

The three core perimeter players will be a little chaotic and imperfect from time to time.

In addition, the Thunder's inside strength is indeed a bit poor, which prevents them from taking into account the internal and external balance in the team's play style. In previous games, it may not matter that they were a little bit behind in this aspect, but they are becoming more and more particular about their match-ups.

After the Timberwolves and Li Feng flourished across the board, they were suddenly hit with a hole.

Moreover, the points difference that suddenly appeared between the two sides in the first half was not wiped out in time, which is also the real reason why the Thunder are always lagging behind. They cannot catch up with the score, and naturally there will always be a knot in their hearts, which will still affect the Thunder.

The mentality and game performance of the team players.

The Timberwolves will not have such trouble. After they overcome their numb and relaxed mood, they will immediately appear more calm, and the game will play more smoothly and naturally.

In fact, there are many factors that determine the outcome of a game. Not the strongest team will definitely be the winner, but the winner's team must be the strong one!

Now under the leadership of Li Feng, the Timberwolves are indeed a strong team as the players on the team work harder and give full play to their talents. They can play against the Thunder in the first three quarters tonight.

Maintaining their advantage is one of the concrete manifestations of their strength.

Therefore, the current situation of this game is completely normal.

Of course, no matter what, the Thunder were unwilling to admit defeat easily. They continued to fight crazily on the court, trying to hope for a miracle in the last quarter of the game.

Unfortunately, Li Feng suddenly once again directed a miraculous situation on the court, which completely ruined the Thunder's final spirit of the game.

And the occurrence of that situation was really dramatic.

At that time, it was only a few minutes into the fourth quarter. Seeing that the Thunder did not surrender in advance and give up the game, the Timberwolves put all their main players on the field.

Then, as the Thunder continued to attack, Russell Westbrook was still controlling the basketball and planning to attack.

At such an increasingly critical moment, Russell Westbrook finally did not choose to attack on his own at any time.

Because his previous attack unfortunately ended with a shot. Therefore, he chose to wait for a good opportunity and then hand the offensive opportunity into the hands of his teammates.

He carefully looked at the situation on the court for a long time, and also dribbled the ball for a long time. While he was struggling to get rid of Wesley Johnson's "mad dog-style" defense, he also had to spend his energy to find a good position.

opportunity to score.

After a stalemate for a period of time, he suddenly handed the ball to his teammate Ibaka.

In this game, Ibaka actually didn't get the offensive ball a few times. He was relatively invisible, or hidden behind the scenes. Moreover, his personal offense was basically lackluster, and he relied more on his physical fitness. Development

The mid-range shot that came out was very average, and he didn't have much chance to perform.

But as an NBA player, who doesn’t want to be able to score more and perform more?

Ibaka finally got another offensive opportunity, so he naturally cherished it very much and took action immediately.

He quickly chose to play singles and showed off on the offensive end, but did not spend much effort on the defensive end of Kevin Love.

It's a pity that although Kevin Love is an excellent inside player, he is really not easy to solve.

Ibaka leaned forward several times in a row, but did not have a good opportunity to attack, so he chose to turn around. However, Kevin Love restricted his route in time.

In desperation, Ibaka jumped up very staggeringly and threw the basketball out of his hand like a gamble, wanting to test his mid-range shooting skills.

Bang!

Soon, a sound of iron strikes that was relatively familiar to him appeared instantly, announcing that his attack had failed.

Fortunately, his partner in the paint, Kentric Perkins, suddenly took action and used his rather fat and strong body to hit Nikola Pekovic hard, and then reluctantly helped the Thunder again.

The team protected this rare rebound.

Kentric Perkins was also very anxious at the moment. After getting the ball, he suddenly faced the basket and before he noticed that Nikola Pekovic, who had been knocked sideways by him, had not had time to adjust his body.

He reluctantly jumped in the direction, trying to make a quick layup.

But at this time, Li Feng suddenly came from outside and killed him again, as if he had planned it!

Li Feng got rid of the influence of others in the paint area and immediately flew high. He raised his hands, similar to the action he had done when blocking other people's shots before, and directly faced the person who appeared on the backboard.

Slapping that basketball hard was as violent and overwhelming as hitting a nail with your fist!

When Kentrick Perkins just completed a layup, he naturally did not expect that Li Feng would suddenly come from behind.

Therefore, when he completely shot the basketball, he no longer had any control or ability to change the basketball. The basketball was no longer in his control. Li Feng's action of blocking the shot directly hit the basketball, which was also

He was helpless and helpless.

In fact, if Li Feng just completed another nail-blocking action at this moment, the situation would not be very special.

But this time Li Feng spread out his body in the air, and seemed to turn his palms into fists with all his strength, and hit the basketball hard on the backboard in time. Suddenly, the basketball was deflated by the strong slap, and it exploded!

"Pfft!"

The basketball that Li Feng pressed on the backboard suddenly made a strange sound of deflating, and quickly changed its shape, making almost everyone who paid attention to this scene immediately feel very curious.

Immediately afterwards, another sensation occurred!

"Oh my God, that's not true. Am I blind?"

"The ball exploded. Oh, how hard did Li use it?"

"It's great now, the super-blocking scene has appeared!"

"Whoa!"

"..."

Countless fans were completely stunned and detonated by this scene, and the crazy fans at the Target Center were no exception.

Just on the court, when Li Feng grabbed the deformed basketball in his hand, he landed on the ground and shouted directly to the referee on the side.

Obviously, the basketball in his hand was deflated and he could no longer dribble it on the floor. He had to replace it with a new one.

At this moment, the cameras and photographers at the scene quickly took a freeze-frame shot of the basketball in Li Feng's hand, magnifying the deflated basketball that was obviously deformed and no longer bulging to the eyes of more people.

The vast audience quickly and clearly witnessed this basketball that had lost its function, and once again felt a little emotional.

The on-site commentator, Shaquille O'Neal, stood up from the commentary table early in the morning, widened his eyes, opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Wow, this kid Li is so powerful, it's crazy.

!”

"Perhaps there is a problem with the quality of this basketball and it was not discovered. Is it a coincidence?" Although Kenny Smith was also surprised, he quickly thought of another possibility.

Charles Barkley did not express clear agreement with the two commentary partners. Instead, he quickly pointed to the big screen playback and said: "Look, when Lee shot the basketball this time, it was not under ordinary circumstances."

The palm of the hand is facing the basketball, but it is more like using a fist and the joints of the back of the hand

It was hit hard. In my opinion, Li deliberately used different force to block the shot, and was preparing to give the Thunder another blow. However, he went a little too far!" To be continued. Welcome.
