Chapter 595: Covered Again

At 88:94, Yang Shuai's successive performances on the defensive and offensive ends allowed the Warriors' original advantage of only 4 points to reach 6 points.

"Kevin, reduce the offense with the ball, move, start running..." On the sidelines, the Thunder's head coach kept shouting. Being 6 points behind made him wary. If the point difference was widened to 10 at this time,

Points mean huge pressure for the Thunder. The Thunder need to attack and successfully attack.

Durant on the court also realized that it was not a wise choice to face Yang Shuai's defense and attack with the ball. After falling into half court, he turned around to squeeze out a little space from Yang Shuai's defense. Durant began to keep attacking.

Stop and run.

Rushing to the right side of the free throw line, Durant received the pass from Westbrook and was about to shoot. However, Yang Shuai, who followed closely, made him a little afraid. Although his height and wingspan made his shooting at No. 3

The position is extremely difficult to guard, but this advantage is drastically reduced for Yang Shuai. Yang Shuai's bounce speed and bounce are too abnormal, coupled with his accurate judgment, Durant's shooting has been greatly affected

interference.

The ball suddenly stopped and changed direction. Durant took a step to the left and jumped up to take a shot. The ball avoided Yang Shuai's block and fell into the basket.

Durant's attack made the Thunder relax a little, and the cheers at the scene became louder and louder. Amidst the huge shouts, the ball came to Yang Shuai again.

Double-teamed, Yang Shuai had just received the ball, and Westbrook, who was still blocking Hinrich, quickly rushed forward and sandwiched Yang Shuai with Durant.

Moving back slightly, Yang Shuai's dribbling rhythm accelerated. The ball quickly moved back and forth between the floor and Yang Shuai's palm. The extremely fast dribbling speed even caused the ball to create an orange shadow during movement.

.

Durant and Westbrook took a step forward at the same time, but neither of them tried to intercept the basketball in Yang Shuai's hands. They did not want to give Yang Shuai a chance because of holes in the defense.

The orange ball shadow suddenly disappeared. Yang Shuai circled the ball behind him, and at the same time, he quickly rushed to the left, which was the direction of Westbrook.

Subconsciously, he wanted to move back, but Westbrook still did not do so. He chose to take a step forward and use his body to block Yang Shuai.

If Westbrook retreats slightly at this time but does not lose his position, and then Durant quickly replaces Yang Shuai in the middle again, they may be able to continue to double-team, but Westbrook believes too much in his own

With his body down, he chose to take a step forward.

"Porphy!" The huge impact force acted on Westbrook's body, making him feel a little tight in his chest, and his steps fell backwards uncontrollably.

The attack was effective, and Yang Shuai would naturally not let go of such an opportunity. His body kept bursting with power, and wave after wave of power attacked Westbrook, making it impossible for the Thunder's second-in-command to stabilize his pace.

"Porphyry!" A huge force attacked again, and Westbrook's already unstable steps involuntarily stepped backwards.

When a breakthrough space appeared in front of him, Yang Shuai naturally did not let go of the opportunity. His body suddenly accelerated, and Yang Shuai's rapid dash forward instantly left Westbrook and Durant behind.

Westbrook and Durant were chasing after Yang Shuai, and in front of Yang Shuai, Jeff Green was also approaching quickly.

In a three-man double attack, the Thunder obviously have high regard for Yang Shuai. In fact, Yang Shuai's offensive power in the new season is indeed worthy of the Thunder doing this. However, they obviously forgot that Yang Shuai ranked first in the scoring list and in assists.

It is still ranked second on the list.

After attracting the defense of three Thunder players, Yang Shuai naturally understood how many of his teammates were in the open space. He looked at Jamison who was cutting towards the basket, but the ball in Yang Shuai's hand had already flown to the three

Outside the dividing line, on the left side of the arc, there are no defensive players within two meters around Hinrich.

"Wha!" actually positioned himself as a fixed-point shooter. Hinrich needed to seize this opportunity and hit the three-pointer steadily.

The Thunder scored 2 points and the Warriors scored 3 points. After one round, the Thunder suddenly discovered that they had not narrowed the point difference, but had been stretched to 7 points.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to half court. Although Durant was still running, Westbrook did not hand the ball to the running Durant, but chose to break through by himself.

It has to be said that Westbrook's physical fitness is indeed much better than Hinrich's, and he also uses a breakthrough method similar to Yang Shuai's. Without any fancy moves, Westbrook forcibly rushed to Hinrich's right side.

Then he relied on his excellent physical fitness to press Hinrich and rush to the basket.

Following Durant from the basket to the right baseline, Yang Shuai, who was running, saw Westbrook squeezing Hinrich away and rushing to the basket, and his running steps suddenly stopped.

Rushing to the outside of the three-second zone, Westbrook suddenly exerted force. His explosive power, which was much stronger than Hinrich's, took effect at this time, and his speed instantly increased and he rushed out from Hinrich's side.

With the soles of his feet hitting the floor, Westbrook threw Hinrich away and soared into the air with the ball in his right hand.

If it were the Thunder's home court, there would definitely be cheers at this time, but now there are cheers everywhere at the Warriors' home court, which makes Westbrook a little confused. Could it be that he is playing at the Thunder's home court?

When Westbrook took a closer look, he immediately understood that the cheers were not for him but for the guy in front of him.

Stopping and running back, this move that Yang Shuai often used to get rid of the defense was used on the defensive end at this moment. He turned around and rushed back to the basket. Yang Shuai jumped up in front of Westbrook, and fiercely fanned towards Westbrook with his big hands raised high.

Westbrook holds the basketball high.

It seems very slow to say, but it all happened in a blink of an eye. Both Westbrook and Yang Shuai were extremely fast. When Westbrook fully understood what was going on, Yang Shuai's hand was already far away.

The basketball was less than ten centimeters, and he had no time to react.

"Bang!" Yang Shuai's hand directly covered the basketball, special strength gathered in his right hand, and he pressed down hard.

Westbrook felt a huge force acting on him along the ball. He almost immediately understood that he could not resist such a force, and subconsciously wanted to let go, but by this time it was already too late. The powerful force was like

It came like a flood and completely swallowed him up in the blink of an eye.

When Westbrook's hand left the basketball, his body fell to the floor completely uncontrollably.

"Coax!" "Boom!" Cheers and screams rang out from every corner of the arena. All Warriors fans stood up at this moment, waving their arms and roaring loudly.

"Young stopped Russell's dunk and knocked him to the ground with one palm! Perfect defense! Perfect block! So domineering!" Jim Barnett used all his strength in the commentary box

Shouting made his voice hoarse at this moment.

"Fake!" He punched the floor, and Westbrook jumped up from the floor. His butt that landed first felt a faint pain, but it was incomparable to the embarrassment he felt inside.

He was slapped to the ground. It was embarrassing, so embarrassing! Getting up from the ground, Westbrook rushed like crazy towards Hinrich who had already received the ball.

Westbrook rushed over, but Hinrich was not in a hurry to pass the ball. He keenly noticed that Westbrook had lost his calm at this time. Rushing to the three-point line, Hinrich suddenly paused, and then dialed up

It's time to shoot.

"Don't even think about it!" Westbrook had just been trapped underground by Yang Shuai. At this time, Westbrook could not settle the score with Yang Shuai, but now Hinrich also wanted to shoot over his head. How could he not get angry.

"Beep!" Westbrook quickly rushed towards Hinrich. Unable to calm down, he also couldn't control his movements. It wasn't until the referee's whistle sounded that his mind suddenly came to his senses.

Hinrich did not perform the magic of 3+1, but his goal was achieved. Westbrook's foul gave him three easy free throw opportunities. Three of three shots were made, 90:100, and the score difference between the two teams was official.

Came to 10 minutes.

On the sidelines, Thunder coach Brooks, who called a timeout, sighed secretly. He really did whatever he was afraid of.

"Stop Sergeant, calm down..." The first thing he did when calling the timeout was to ask Brooks to calm down first. The Warriors were already gaining momentum. If Westbrook, who was in control of the ball at this time, lost his mind again, the Thunder would

The steps are difficult.

When Brooks was talking, Westbrook kept nodding, but even so, Brooks still felt uneasy, so after reaching halftime, the ball was not controlled by Westbrook, but by James Harden.

Harden dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, but did not find an opportunity. Evans' defense has made a lot of progress after entering the NBA for one season, and it also caused a lot of trouble for Harden at this time.

Harden quickly handed the ball to Durant, who was stuck in the mid-range position, and then quickly cut towards the basket. Harden rushed past Durant, and Evans was on guard for Durant.

He handed the ball to Harden and let the latter attack the basket, but his worries were a bit unnecessary. When Harden rushed out from Durant's side, his hands were empty.

The ball was not handed over to Harden, but it caused greater trouble to the Warriors, because just when Harden's running attracted the attention of the Warriors' defense, Westbrook, who was originally outside the three-pointer, suddenly headed towards the basket.

Cutting in, he rushed past Durant's left, received the pass, and headed straight for the basket.

Jumping into the air, Westbrook's right arm was tense. He was already ready to smash the ball into the basket. As long as he completed this attack, he could erase the shame of being blocked by Yang Shuai.

"Get down!" Westbrook had reached the highest point, and he was ready to smash the ball down, but at this moment, a ghostly voice sounded behind him, and at the same time, he also saw a palm

He was leaning out from behind him and was pressed into the basketball he was holding high.

"Covered again?" When his body fell uncontrollably downwards again, Westbrook couldn't help crying in his heart.

"Yang! Yang! Yang!" At this time, the scene was already drowned in cheers.
