One Guard

Turning the time back to last season's Western Conference semifinals, facing the Thunder without Ibaka, the Spurs' offense was smooth. Those old guys only need to rely on passing and screening, and they can easily beat the Thunder's inside line.

However, just when people were predicting that the Spurs would sweep the Thunder to advance, Ibaka, who was almost out for the season, suddenly announced his comeback.

In the playoffs, Yiyang is not the only one who does this. Ibaka also made a forced comeback despite his injury, risking his life for the honor of the team!

It is no exaggeration, it is really a matter of life and death. His leg injury was more serious than Yiyang's rib fracture. He endured the pain under the cover of isolation, bet his bright future, and became a well-deserved city hero.

In that series, Ibaka even took away the light of the second young master, making everyone stand up and applaud him.

In the end, the Spurs won the series. Ibaka lost the bet and the result of his forced comeback was that his athletic ability deteriorated significantly this season.

But even so, Ibaka is definitely the most dedicated person on the court. Now, the situation is very unfavorable to the Thunder. Ibaka knew it was time for him to stand up!

The entire first quarter of the game was a cycle of Westbrook's never-ending impact, failure, impact, and failure again. If Reggie Jackson hadn't come off the bench to act as a firefighter, the Mavericks might have blown the game by now.

After the first quarter, the Mavericks scored 33 points in a single quarter. With a 7-point lead, we entered the intersection break.

Westbrook made 1 of 6 shots, and his only goal was the breakthrough at the beginning. Chinese fans often use one sentence to ridicule some teams-the boss has tried his best, and his teammates are CBA.

But in the Thunder, this sentence must be said the other way around. My teammates tried their best, boss CBA.

Instead of making the team better, Westbrook made the team's offense a mess. His ultra-high ball possession rate on the court and a low shooting rate that was seriously inconsistent with the ball possession rate dragged the Thunder's offense to the bottom.

Fortunately, Reggie Jackson showed an excellent performance of 10 points in a single quarter, otherwise the Thunder would have become a joke around the world now!

"1-for-6 shooting. It seems that there is still a defense in this league that Westbrook can't beat. I know that Westbrook performed well in the first few games. His shooting rate is stable and he can also provide appropriate assists. But there is one A very embarrassing record is that so far this season, the Thunder have only defeated the top eight teams in the Western Conference once. This shows that Westbrook will still be a little weak when facing real strong opponents. What's more, Xiao The cow is the most powerful enemy among powerful enemies!”

During the break, Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan chatted happily, but Carlesimo said nothing.

He praised the Thunder and Westbrook so much before the game, but he didn't expect Westbrook to give him such a big "thank you" in the first quarter of the game. He didn't want to be laughed at as an old man talking nonsense after the game.

Work harder, Russell!

Scott Brooks really hopes that Durant can take off his suit and play the game now, leaving the team to Westbrook to lead. Maybe it was a wrong decision from the beginning!

But Brooks can't just deprive Westbrook of his right to shoot. The Thunder's management would rather believe in Westbrook than in him, a young coach. This is the difficulty of being a coach. If there is a problem with the team, no matter whose fault it is, the coach will be the first to be kicked out.

Brooks doesn't want to lose his job, so he won't go against Westbrook. The former Best Coach winner just reminded Westbrook: pay more attention to the gaps of his teammates!

Ibaka lowered his head silently, and the image of Westbrook ignoring his open position in the first quarter flashed over and over in his mind. To be honest, Ibaka is already used to Westbrook's playing style.

He can indeed lead the team to victory, but compared to other stars,

Westbrook "loses control" significantly more times.

The Congolese know that Westbrook is out of control today and almost impossible to pull back. In the following games, the only chance is to rely on yourself to fight for it!

After the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks fans immediately started shouting. They hope that Yiyang can lead the team to resolve the battle in half the game. If Westbrook continues to play like this, it is not impossible.

In this section of the game, Yiyang seemed to be much more active. As soon as he comes up, he tries to score himself. After hanging up the screen and getting rid of Westbrook, Yiyang continued to accelerate into the penalty area!

Gobert has stuck Adams behind him, and the Thunder's penalty area is wide open. Yiyang jumped up for a layup. Since the opportunity was so good, he was not too cautious.

Just when he lifted the ball, Yiyang felt a huge sense of oppression coming from behind him. He was hit so hard that he lost his center of gravity and lost complete control of the basketball.

The basketball was slapped hard by a pair of big hands behind him, flew out, and hit the backboard hard.

At first, Yiyang thought it was Westbrook chasing after him. But the actual situation is not what I imagined.

"Sergey Ibaka! Unbelievable, he actually completed a big chase behind Yi! This season, he is also the player with the lowest probability of being blocked in the league, even surpassing Chris Paul! He is also Chasing a big risk, this is the first time this has happened in my memory this season!" Mike Breen's mouth opened wide. He knew very well how difficult a player Yiyang was to be blocked, and he also knew very well Ibaka's athletic ability. It's not as good as before.

But even so, the Congolese people still did not give up! And those who don't give up easily will get opportunities!

After blocking the shot, Westbrook caught the basketball that bounced off the backboard. He finally freed himself once, ran all the way without anyone being able to catch him, and completed a thrilling tomahawk chop!

The cameras were all focused on Westbrook, on the guy who finally let out a breath of anger. But Yiyang's attention was attracted by Ibaka. This guy is the key to the Thunder's successful counterattack!

Then during the Mavericks' attack, Ibaka was very close to Nowitzki. Dirk scored 9 points in the first quarter, forcing Ibaka to guard him tightly. Of course, this also gives the rest of the Mavericks an opportunity to attack the basket.

Ibaka was pulled out of the three-second zone by Decker, and the Thunder's ability to protect the frame instantly dropped to another level.

This time, the person who received Yiyang's pass and hit the basket became Wade. Seeing Wade planning to lay up, Ibaka dropped Dirk again!

"careful......"

However, before Dirk could shout, Wade's layup cut from the side was slapped out of the baseline by Ibaka, who was charging from an angle!

Ibaka's eyes widened and he looked up to the sky and screamed!

"Two consecutive blocks, Serge Ibaka used his tough defense to stop the Mavericks' attack!"

The Congolese roared like he'd won the game, and he was just as passionate as Westbrook, only this guy knew how to use that passion to do the right thing.

This time, Yiyang also looked squarely at Ibaka. Today, Westbrook might not be his biggest opponent!

Gobert replayed the baseline ball, and the basketball was passed directly to Yiyang outside the three-point line.

After holding the ball, Yiyang made a few triple-threat moves to confuse Westbrook's center of gravity, and then suddenly started to break through to the right side of No. 0.

Without cover, Yiyang planned to get past the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" directly. Westbrook naturally wouldn't agree, but as soon as he moved sideways, he found Yiyang pulling the basketball in the opposite direction!

This is not a sudden breakthrough at all, but an Iverson-style crossover!

After passing Westbrook, Yiyang penetrated into the penalty area like an arrow off the string! Ibaka came to cover, but Yiyang did not pass the ball, but took off towards the Congolese.

In the air, Yiyang placed the basketball on his abdomen and curled up slightly. After withstanding Ibaka's impact and dodging the defense, Yiyang stretched his body again and hit the layup!

"He also made a strong response. He beautifully avoided Ibaka's block and continued to score for the Mavericks. This game is getting more and more intense!"

The cheers of the fans are getting louder and louder, and the two sides are going tit-for-tat. This is the exciting game they long for!

Seeing Yiyang score, Westbrook was naturally very unhappy. He once again ignored his teammates, carried Yiyang on his shoulders, and planned to go to the basket.

But this time, Yiyang barely even made a move to Westbrook. Thunder Zero had just entered the three-second zone when Yiyang made a quick move and cut the basketball out of Westbrook's arms.

Basketball is not controlled by any party at this time. It stands to reason that the fight for the floor ball is usually the responsibility of small players, because it is difficult for big players to lower their center of gravity.

But Ibaka obviously didn't care so much anymore. He struggled to lower his center of gravity and picked up the basketball on the ground before everyone else!

After picking up the basketball, Ibaka did not stop. He took a big step forward and then made a one-handed chop!

Nowitzki simply gave up and blocked it. Ibaka's menacing look was really oppressive!

"Bang!" The basket let out a "wailing", and Ibaka hung on the frame with one hand. He gave his all for the Thunder, and he didn't want to see this team just give up!

"Serge, his response was even more powerful than before! The rhythm of this game has been picked up, with both sides attacking each other and refusing to give in! When Westbrook was in a tough battle, Ibaka once again fought for the Thunder. Come forward!”

Ibaka landed carefully. He was no longer the wild beast that he used to be. Ibaka is taking more shots from beyond the arc this season than in the previous five seasons combined.

In addition to tactical needs, the decline in his athletic ability is also the reason why Ibaka had to change his style of play.

But today, the raging Congolese beast comes to life again!

Do you want to win against the Thunder? That's fine, unless you can step over my corpse!

Serge Ibaka is the real leader of the Thunder team today.
