NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

The original arrangement of the Thunder was in the first half of the 3rd quarter, with Westbrook and James Harden still leading the bench and fighting against the Mavericks on the court.

But now they are 6 points behind.

This is the battle of Tianwang Mountain. If the Thunder are losing this game, they will go home directly. In this case, it is understandable for Durant to play.

Durant is still very eager to win. Even though he usually acts like a keyboard warrior, he often confronts netizens hard on the Internet, but on the court, Durant scored 5 points in a row.

For a time, the entire Thunder team seemed to come alive again.

When the Mavericks saw this, they quickly called a timeout and sent the team's core core, Dirk Nowitzki, to the field.

Nowitzki came up and followed the "two-five-zero" teammate's pick-and-roll, and also made a three-pointer, and the score between the two sides came to a gap of 4 points in the blink of an eye.

Durant saw this, even more, carrying three of the Thunder's next five offenses, as well as one assist.

Nowitzki changed his strategy. He knew that he was the target of the opponent's focus, so whenever he got the ball, at least two players would come up to defend.

This time Nowitzki didn't choose to be reckless, because it was Durant who was defending him.

When Durant defended Dirk Nowitzki twice before, although he still couldn't completely block his golden rooster independent jumper, he was better than other players.

In addition, Ibaka is also a spring man with very strong physical fitness, and the two also brought a lot of pressure to Nowitzki.

After attracting the opponent's attention, Nuo Tianwang passed the ball to the inside Chandler's hands, and Chandler also scored with a dunk.

With Chandler dunks succeeded, the atmosphere at home of the Mavericks was completely ignited.

The Thunder team tried their best, but there was still no way to prevent the Mavericks from completing the score, which also made their players feel a little frustrated.

In this case, Durant once again chose to come forward. After receiving the pass from Westbrook, he hurried to the inside line and faced the two defenders with a Tomahawk-style violence. Split buckle.

Powerful dunks like Durant are actually rare. Although Durant usually scores with dunks, he rarely plays so hard. In other words, Durant has started to do his best.

Seeing that the team's bosses are already dying, the other players are naturally encouraged. In the second half of the third quarter, the score did not widen too much, and the two sides also tied the score to 80.

For this result, the fans who originally supported the Mavericks, which everyone had not thought of before the game, also became a little nervous.

Because once the fourth quarter, the two sides are equal to returning to the same starting line, and the Thunder team is much younger than the Mavericks from the lineup.

In the fourth quarter, the physical strength of Dirk Nowitzki and other veterans is also a great test.

Even the on-site commentary expressed some pessimism.

On the other hand, all the players of the Thunder team were sitting on the sidelines, but they were arrogant, and it seemed that they had returned to the game, and they were high-spirited at the beginning.

A group of veterans of the Mavericks gathered around and began to discuss tactics. The camera could clearly see that King Nuo's face was full of sweat, and his expression also revealed a trace of fatigue, but his eyes were very firm and full of desire for victory. .

Lin Lei sat in front of the TV and saw the scene in front of him, he already had the answer in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"Everyone underestimates the level of the King of Noah, and he is more eager to win than Durant in this game.

Lin Lei's words were quickly confirmed. In the fourth quarter, Nowitzki made all four shots and hit three free throws, almost completely destroying the Thunder's interior.

And a group of veterans who are considered insufficient physical strength also showed their tenacity, although they did not seem to be as good as the Thunder in terms of footwork and speed.

But they played more united, more like a whole, which the Thunder didn't have.

In the first half of the 4th quarter, the two sides were still struggling, but the Thunder's hit rate began to drop. On the other hand, the Mavericks were as stable as ever.

With the final three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides had come to 105:97, and the Thunder were 8 points behind again.

Seeing this, Durant gritted his teeth again and decided to go it alone. Usually, when the game reaches the last moment, it is the will and skill of the core players of both sides.

Durant once again showed his future superstar style, hitting consecutive mid-range shots, leaving the Thunder behind, and even on the verge of collapse, and pulled back little by little.

But it turns out that Durant, no matter how strong, can't compare to the old guys from the Mavericks.

Every time when Durant hits, the Mavericks will basically respond. They not only rely on Dirk Nowitzki, they can be said to be multi-point salvos, making the Thunder simply impossible to guard against.

With the last minute left in the game, the score was only 5 points away, and the Thunder held the ball.

However, after the Thunder team suspended, they arranged a tactic to accurately transmit 5.9 into Durant's hands, but Durant was a little exhausted because of his hard work earlier, and the basketball was thrown out of his hands and finally smashed. On the rim, he got up frantically and didn't finish scoring.

Seeing this picture, the Thunder's head coach's face was filled with despair.

After Durant missed the last one, the game basically lost the suspense here, especially when the veteran Kidd hit a three-pointer in the corner and the game was completely over.

In the end, all the players of the Thunder team left the Mavericks' home in dismay, while the Mavericks owner Cuban stood on the sidelines and kept clapping and clapping, and at the same time full of ridicule.

"Durant, your performance is very good, unfortunately your team is too rubbish, why don't you join our team next year!"
