One Guard

After the goal was scored, Marion proudly raised his right arm, then ran to Yiyang and gave him a high five. Durant will definitely be one of the strongest forwards in the league in the future, no, he already is. But Marion didn't intend to just lose to the juniors like this!

No one thought Marion would suddenly shoot a cold shot, but in fact, all the Mavericks players on the court may suddenly fire. With Yiyang and Kidd on the court at the same time, you can't even imagine which corner the ball will be passed to in the next second.

Marion's goal undoubtedly interrupted the Thunder's momentum, but just a three-pointer was not enough to completely stop this group of young people who were able to play. The Thunder's counterattack will be very violent, unless the Mavericks can also contain them on the defensive end.

Westbrook knew that if he faced Yiyang again, he would not be as easy on the offensive end as he was when he was facing Terry. Before halftime, the "big net" woven by Yiyang and Kidd had already spread out, waiting for the "fish" from Oklahoma to hit them by themselves.

Now the Thunder's scoring cannot be interrupted, so Westbrook did not choose to single, but passed the ball to Sefoloza.

Sefolosa did not hesitate after receiving the ball. Seeing that Ibaka mentioned the middle distance, he handed the ball to the Congolese.

Ibaka has a strong body and a strong ball style, but he is very good at mid-range shooting. But Nowitzki stuck Ibaka very tightly, and the Congolese had no chance of attacking at all.

As a result, the Thunder's basketball was transmitted again. This time, the ball came to Durant, the super forward who averaged 27.7 points per game.

Marion's eyes look like he hasn't woken up, but if you dare to trespass on his territory, this sleepy-eyed guy will definitely "entertain" you well.

Durant raised the ball high with both hands, and then suddenly lowered his center of gravity to break through! As soon as he took the first step, Durant saw that Marion was starting to retreat, so he stopped suddenly, turned around and shot a jumper, and did not forget to push Marion secretly during the process.

The actual process of an NBA game can be more intense than what you see in front of the TV. Many small actions of the players are difficult to observe through TV. Only by personal experience can one understand why this place is called the battlefield of the civilized era.

After being pushed like that, Marion also deviated a little from his defensive position. Durant's fadeaway jumper, with his height and wingspan, he should be able to easily win this ball. However, a strong white man with fluttering long hair and an angry face suddenly jumped in front of Durant, blocking Durant's sight.

After seeing Durant preparing for a singles, Nowitzki came up to help defend. Unexpectedly, he just caught up with Durant to make a shot.

Interrupted by Nowitzki's sudden jump,

Disrupted Durant's shot rhythm. He shot short and hit the side of the rim.

After Nowitzki jumped out to defend, Ibaka thought that even if Durant missed the shot, the rebound would be his own. However, the basketball that hit the side of the basket bounced farther away. After landing, Nowitzki took off for the second time, stretched his long arms, and snatched the basketball into his hands from the side of the penalty area.

"Ah!" Durant growled in annoyance, and quickly retreated. It can be seen that high defensive intensity games are still too difficult for Durant and Westbrook now.

Nowitzki did not hesitate after catching the rebound, and immediately passed the ball to Yiyang. At this time, the players of the Thunder team were still retreating, and the defensive formation was not fully deployed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yiyang started to run wildly!

From the backcourt to the frontcourt and then staged a one-stop dunk, this kind of thing is not uncommon for Yiyang. Westbrook hurriedly followed, using his strong body to force Yiyang to slow down.

However, Yiyang, who was staring at the basket, suddenly passed the ball behind his back while running, and the basketball bypassed the backs of Yiyang and Westbrook, and fell into Kidd's hands.

When Kidd came up to catch the basketball, he happened to be standing outside the three-point line! Without further ado, the veteran jumped straight away, as if planning to catch up and shoot a three-pointer.

Sefoloza hurriedly blocked, while Ibaka ran directly to the basket, ready to grab the rebound.

Kidd made a shot in the air. Ibaka stuck his position and raised his head, but he stared for a long time, but he didn't see the basketball flying over.

The Congolese looked back in surprise, only to see Nowitzki shooting! It turned out that just now, Kidd was a fake voter. After he jumped up, he didn't shoot the shot, but passed the ball to Nowitzki who was ignored.

Dirk Nowitzki felt bad today, facing Ibaka's defense, he made many shots. However, the opportunity for such a large space is still not a problem for the Germans.

The basketball jumped high into the air and plunged into the net. Nowitzki retreated while raising his arms. This offensive rhythm is simply too comfortable!

"Pass the ball with two hands, pass the ball with only two hands, Yihe Kidd organized the Mavericks' offense in an orderly manner! With 15 points, the Mavericks have a chance to reopen the point difference. If the Oklahoma City Thunder do not want to lose at home, Gotta play more patiently on offense!"

As a bystander, Barkley certainly knows the importance of patience. But the young Durant and Westbrook inevitably became more impatient when they fell behind by a large score.

This time, Westbrook didn't stick to the ball, but continued to pass patiently. But in the end, Durant, who was forced to have no chance, returned the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook saw that since Durant didn't come, he would be impolite!

After receiving the ball, Westbrook made a breakthrough, and then suddenly paused, which disrupted Yiyang's retreat rhythm. Afterwards, he changed direction on his crotch, speeding past Yiyang.

Yiyang was broken through. This is the smoothest time Westbrook has broken through against Yiyang's defense since the series. As always, this fearless defender threw himself into the air, facing the siege of Chandler, Nowitzki and Yiyang, he resolutely chose...pass!

Westbrook froze and planned to stuff the ball to Ibaka standing under the basket from the gap between the three. However, the pass was too sudden and short, and the big man had to bend down to catch it.

So close, so fast, combined with not-so-good pass quality, the ball flew out of bounds before Ibaka's hands caught it.

"It's a pity, Westbrook has a good idea, but it's still a little bit reluctant!"

Everyone sighed and complained about the bad luck. However, was this ball really a mistake due to bad luck?

Maybe Westbrook never thought about passing the ball before, but just improvised after he didn't have a chance in the air. This kind of ball seems to be very thoughtful, but in fact it is extremely inefficient. Yiyang also had an example of breaking through to deceive the defensive player and then stuffing the ball to his teammates for a direct dunk, but Yiyang played the pass from the very beginning, and he couldn't play with Westbrook. Same.

A mistake made Brooks heartbroken. He now has the idea of ​​putting Westbrook on the bench again, but looks at the Thunder's bench. If Westbrook is replaced, it will be more difficult for the team to chase points.

The Mavericks sent out the baseline ball, Kidd controlled the rhythm, and Yiyang quickly rushed to the frontcourt, only to find that his defender had become the "Swiss Army Knife" Sefoloza.

The Thunder intends to test the situation through a substitution defense. Maybe Sefoloza's defense against Yiyang will be better?

Sefoloza is indeed a defensive expert, he is as strong and full of energy as Westbrook. But unlike Westbrook, Sefolosha has an extremely calm mind in defense, is not easy to be fooled, and will not engage in gambling defense.

When Yiyang met Sefolosa, he had to admit that he had encountered a big problem.

Yiyang first approached the restricted area unhurriedly, during which time Sefoloza kept pestering Yiyang tightly. Just when the two of them stepped into the penalty area, Yiyang suddenly pushed Sefoloza, and then quickly ran out of the three-point line, trying to gain space to catch the ball.

A practical and standard V-shaped running position, Yiyang can usually get rid of most matchups with this move. But Sefolosa would not take this kind of trick, he quickly followed up again, with his arm in front of Yiyang, leaving no space at all!

Seeing that Yiyang couldn't escape, Kidd commanded a pick-and-roll, as if planning to break through by himself.

Kidd took advantage of Nowitzki's cover to go inside, but in the overcrowded restricted area, Kidd didn't find the slightest chance. Whether it was a shot or a pass, Kidd didn't see it. In order to ensure the success rate of the offense, Kidd did not make a strong attack, but circled the bottom line, and then dribbled the ball back outside the three-point line.

At this time, Yiyang directly leaned against Sefoloza at the top of the arc outside the three-point line to ask for the ball. At the same time, Yiyang winked at Kidd.

The two guards are like inside players at the moment, pushing and squeezing each other outside the three-point line. Yiyang supports Sefoloza with one hand and raises the other hand high. Sefolosa held Yiyang's back with one hand to prevent him from exerting his strength, while the other hand went around to block Yiyang in front of him, preventing him from receiving the ball.

"The Swiss's defense is impeccable, maybe he can really defend it!"

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, Kidd passed the ball! Seeing this situation, Sefoloza, who was blocking behind Yiyang, suddenly walked forward, trying to intercept the basketball!

However, when the Swiss went around in front of Yiyang, he found that the ball was still in Kidd's hands. It was a fake pass just now, and he was tricked by these two guys!

"Damn it!" Sefolosa immediately turned around, and as expected, Yiyang had already cut in from the middle!

Kidd hit the ground and passed the ball, and accurately gave the ball to Yiyang who was cutting in. Yiyang's counter-run and Kidd's sudden false pass made neither Ibaka nor Perkins recover.

When Yiyang stepped into the penalty area, the two insiders were still rushing to the basket. After receiving the basketball, Yiyang took off directly. In the air, he encountered the mighty Ibaka. The latter raised his arms high and attacked from the side, Yiyang was slammed into the air and lost his center of gravity. But even when there was no center of gravity and began to fall, Yiyang maintained his throwing posture and gently threw the basketball towards the basket.

"Boom!" Yiyang was pulled down heavily by gravity at an angle almost parallel to the ground.

At the same time, the basketball rubbed against the backboard and "climbed" in after spinning around the rim!

"A penalty will be added for the goal! Haha, Yi and Kidd's cooperation played tricks on all Thunder players! What a wonderful breakthrough, Yi's control of the ball at the moment of the shot is really superb!"

Seeing the basketball hit, Yiyang, who was still lying on the ground, couldn't help but waved his arms vigorously. When he winked at Kidd just now, Yiyang didn't dare to guarantee that Kidd would understand what he meant. But that historical master tactician went with him. Kidd is Kidd, even though he is nearly 40 years old, he is still one of the best open spots in the league.

And Ibaka shook his head with his hips on his hips. This was his third foul of the game. Another foul and you'll be in total trouble.

He still couldn't believe that the thin defender was able to score a goal after being knocked into the air by himself. Basketball is a highly confrontational sport, and the quality of physical fitness sometimes directly determines the upper limit of a player. But then again, does basketball really depend on physical fitness?

Nash, the passing master known as the "Son of the Wind", was actually not favored by people at the beginning. Some people even said that he was the worst talented player in history. In addition to his general physical fitness, he is also a patient with congenital spondylolisthesis, which causes his spine to slowly relax, and Nash even suffered a spinal compression fracture during a game. But it was such a player who won two MVPs and led the team to the Western Conference Finals.

In 1965, in Riverside, California, a little boy was born, but his family could not be immersed in the joy because the boy's hip was born deformed, which prevented him from walking normally. For such a child, many people were worried that he would not be able to live a normal life in the future, let alone stand on the NBA court! However, it was such a child who was born with a disability and could not walk normally, and later not only became the first round pick in the NBA draft, but also grew into a superstar in the NBA, becoming famous and one of the greatest three-pointers in NBA history . Reggie Miller's story taught everyone that physical defects are not an excuse for not being able to play basketball well.

What's more, Yiyang doesn't have any of the diseases mentioned above. Why can't a Chinese with average physical resistance ability but absolutely healthy be unable to play basketball well?

Nowitzki and Chandler pulled Yiyang up. It was this thin-looking guy who just broke through the fierce Sefoloza, and then stood in front of Ibaka who was as strong as a bull. Successfully score and draw a foul.

"The moment Yiyang was hit by Ibaka, I didn't even think he could stand up!" Kenny Smith looked at Yiyang standing on the free throw line with no expression, and then made a steady free throw, feeling a little inconceivable.

Asian guards, when did they become so crazy in the NBA?

After this goal, Yiyang officially widened the point difference to 18 points. There are still 2 points left, and the point difference will break through the 20 mark.

It's clear, though, that the Thunder haven't found a solution to the problem. In the next attack, Durant successfully broke through Marion, stepped directly into the penalty area, and flew to prepare for a dunk!

In the last game the Thunder won, Durant used his arm length advantage to stage a crazy show of dunking Chandler.

Today, the No. 35 is also not to be outdone. He jumped sharply, still blocked by Chandler in the air. It's a pity that this time, under the interference of Chandler's efforts, Durant's dunk hit the basket and flew out directly.

If this goal is scored, the morale of the Thunder will definitely be greatly boosted, and it is even possible to complete the reversal in one fell swoop. But wishes are often good. Durant missed the ball and gave the Mavericks another chance to attack.

The Thunder still switch defenses, with Westbrook staring at Kidd and Yiyang being taken care of by Sefoloza. This time, Yiyang directly slid the baseline to get outside the three-point line on the other side of the court.

Sefoloza was delayed by Chandler's off-ball pick-and-roll on the way, but he did not speed up desperately to chase Yiyang, in case Yiyang took advantage of the opportunity of his own center of gravity to break through.

Yiyang pocketed to the right corner, and Kidd's pass was delivered just right. Sefolosa didn't press hard with all his strength, but let Yiyang go one step instead.

Unexpectedly, after Yiyang received the basketball, he immediately pulled it up and shot it! Sefoloza let him go a little far, and this is basically a near-empty opportunity.

The "Swiss Army Knife" jumped up and rushed, but Yiyang's attack speed was faster than expected!

Seeing Yiyang's action, Peja on the bench smiled gratifiedly. He stood up early and waved the towel in his hand for Yiyang.

In the next second, after the basketball hit the side of the basket, it fell into the frame for the second time. Yiyang hit a three-pointer and scored six consecutive points, turning the point difference into 21.

Seeing the basketball hit the net, Yiyang just nodded vigorously, and then quickly retreated.

Brooks sat on the sidelines and sat back on his bench. This time, it might really be cold.

The Thunder, which broke into the Western Conference finals and had the most physical guard, is almost defeated by a slightly thinner Chinese...
