Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Li Liang's elbow not only relieved Westbrook, but also relieved the anger of the Thunder fans at the scene.

However, there is a price to pay for relief. Li Liang got a technical foul. Not only did the ball go to the Rockets, they also got a free throw for a technical foul.

Beverly didn't see blood, but a huge bump bulged on his forehead.

The TV station gave a special close-up of his forehead. The swollen boss seemed to have a horn.

Kevin McHale was still not satisfied on the sidelines, saying that Li Liang's ball was bad in nature and should be sent off.

The referee warns, if you beep again, you will be punished.

McHale had to shut up, wondering what kind of world this was.

Harden got to the free throw line and made a free throw, and the Rockets got a little closer.

After this ball, Westbrook really calmed down.

The anger dissipated, and I started to play well.

Once Westbrook's head cools down, it's pretty scary.

His breakthrough is no longer aggressive, but while seeing the opportunity, he also sees the opportunity of his teammates.

Breakthroughs, passes, assists.

Westbrook knew that he didn't feel good about his outside shots tonight, so he no longer forced shots, but tirelessly used his breakthroughs to tear apart the Rockets' defense and create better opportunities for his teammates.

For the Rockets, Harden is doing the same thing as Westbrook.

It's just that Harden has an extra business of touching porcelain and keeps making fouls.

Adams was fouled three times by Harden alone in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, Adams returned to the bench for four fouls.

The Thunder has always maintained a lead of about 7-8 points.

The connection between Li Liang and Westbrook supported the Thunder's offense.

The connection between Harden and Howard also continued to succeed.

Durant started resting on the court again.

Basketball seems to hate Durant tonight, but it just can't reach him.

He seemed to be invisible on the offensive end. In the entire third quarter, he only made two shots and hit one goal.

Durant played the entire third quarter and returned to the bench to rest at the end without feeling like he was breaking a sweat.

Looking at the scoreboard, the Thunder led the Rockets by 8 points entering the fourth quarter.

Li Liang also played the entire third quarter, and Donovan is now determined to increase Li Liang's playing time.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides had substitute lineups, and the Thunder kept Westbrook on the court.

The Rockets are led by Howard.

As a result, the Rockets' first offensive serve was intercepted by Westbrook near the center line.

Westbrook gave the ball to the bottom corner, and Waiters wasted an open three-pointer.

The Thunder's three-point shot was pretty bad tonight. If they were more accurate in their three-pointers, the point difference would definitely be even bigger.

The Rockets launched a counterattack, and the ball was given to Beasley on the wing. Beasley couldn't catch and shoot, so he insisted on dribbling the ball, turned around, added a little back, and then shot a mid-range jumper from the right corner. hit.

Some players in the NBA are like this. Simple offensive methods have a low hit rate. They have to add a bunch of pre-movements to complete the movements before they can get the ball in.

Now that Durant and Li Liang are not on the court, the core of the Thunder's offense is completely Westbrook.

After failing to try to organize an offense, Westbrook crossed in the middle, threw off the defender and forced a breakthrough in the middle.

Facing Howard's help defense, he made a difficult toss shot with his right hand, hit the board, and recovered two points.

The Rockets chased points very quickly. They quickly served the ball from the backcourt and made a long pass directly to the frontcourt. Corey Brewer caught the ball and dunked with both hands.

The Rockets' chasing style has always been the Rockets' mainstream tactics before Howard came.

Howard doesn't even have to participate in the offense, just stay in the backcourt and defend.

Westbrook hit the basket again with the ball, but under Howard's interference, the layup missed.

Westbrook signaled to the referee that the opponent's defensive thug was coming, but the referee ignored it.

The Rockets launched a fast break, and Ariza caught and passed the ball, and he wanted to dunk when he flew up.

The Thunder's two defensive players jammed and interfered, and there was a suspicion of a foul collision, but the referee did not blow the whistle.

The dunk failed, but Ariza grabbed the ball and passed it to the left corner.

Jason Terry caught the ball and made a three-pointer!

The score became 84:89, and the Rockets chased the point difference to 5 points.

There is still a lot of oil left in Old Terry's jet fuel tank.

As a projection-type outsider who gave the Lone Ranger a peak striker, he used his three-pointers and outside shots to hurt the Rockets and Rockets fans when he was in Dallas.

Now that I can make some contributions in Houston, the NBA is indeed a small league.

And Westbrook will not stop his charge.

After a pick-and-roll from the outside line, he continued to rush in and challenged Howard.

This time he chose a difficult throw with his left hand and hit a two-pointer.

For the Rockets, Terry missed a breakthrough throw, but Beasley grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

Because the Thunder were pulled to the same level by the Rockets in this game, it can be said that they made all kinds of mistakes.

It can be said that it doesn't look like a team that ranks second in the league and has 60 wins.

And Westbrook was already red-eyed, and he held the explosive package again—no, it should be the explosive package that looked like a basketball and rushed into the Rockets' inside line.

The inside of the Rockets with Howard is still very solid.

But Westbrook is relying on the rush again and again, cutting a hole abruptly, causing Ariza's defensive foul.

penalty.

The game also just entered the official timeout.

The TV station advertised, and the teams on both sides took a break to make substitutions.

On the bench, Li Liang squeezed Westbrook's arm and asked, "Doesn't it hurt if you rush so fast?"

Westbrook glanced at Li Liang with a strange look, "What kind of basketball are you playing for fear of pain?"

It can be said that his arm is full of scars, all of which were caused by breakthroughs.

Li Liang already had a lot of injuries on his arm, and it was nothing compared to Westbrook.

The timeout ended, two free throws were made, and Westbrook was off the field.

He can finally take a break, Li Liang and Durant appear on the stage.

Li Liang and Durant exchanged glances, with only one meaning: try not to let Westbrook play again!

On the one hand, I feel sorry for his scarred body, and on the other hand, I also feel sorry for the basket at home and the hearts of the fans.

With Westbrook's state tonight, let him play at a critical moment later, I don't know what kind of frightening show operation will be made.

His state in this game is indeed mediocre, with less time to calm down and more time to be on the top.

They exchanged glances and reached a consensus.

The two of them didn't want to fight with the Rockets any longer. If they continued like this, they would be defeated by the Rockets with their rich experience.

At this time, Harden also returned to the court, and Howard went down to rest for a while.

In the Rockets' offensive round, Harden gave the ball to Beasley.

Beasley is in good shape and has already scored 11 points.

But the Thunder's defensive strength suddenly came up.

Durant stopped walking, flicked his fingers, and broke the ball from Beasley's hands.

Durant launched a counterattack with the ball himself, and Li Liang rushed towards the basket as a running back.

A ground pass was passed to Li Liang. Li Liang caught the ball with both hands, dribbled the ball, and clamped the ball tightly with both hands. He jumped up and dunked with both hands!

Beasley and Ariza, who were chasing after him, were about to hang on Li Liang, but they still couldn't block Li Liang's dunk.

Go to the free throw line and make an extra free throw.

McHale smelled something ominous.

He immediately took advantage of the free throw gap and replaced Howard on the field again.

Poor Howard just rested for one round, and he was about to play again before his ass was hot.

In the offense, Harden failed to eat Robertson one-on-one, and passed the ball to Beverly when the 24 seconds were approaching.

Beverly may have been a little dizzy from his head being smashed, and his shooting percentage dropped.

Missed a three-pointer from the outside.

Li Liang got the rebound in the backcourt and did not rush to advance halfway slowly.

Then fire directly from the front, three steps away from the three-point line!

Super far three points!

Hit!

McHale's scalp was a little tingly, but he still didn't call a timeout.

Head iron, I forgot the fear of Li Liang's three-pointer.

After repeatedly passing the ball, Corey Brewer seized the opportunity to break through and score two points.

But the Thunder's offense is already overwhelming.

Li Liang's outside line and Durant's pick-and-roll, Durant threw off a screen and the defender's position, directly pulled up and shot a three-pointer!

Three points again!

Li Liang and Durant played a 9:0 spurt together.

The personal strength of these two people is too strong, and if they enter the state at the same time, the opponent can't defend at all.

The Rockets have been using the "IQ suppression method" for defense.

As a result, in the fourth quarter, Li Liang and Durant joined hands, and the smart IQ regained the high ground, and the Rockets' defense was nowhere to go.

McHale called a timeout, made substitutions, and all the Rockets' main players re-appeared.

Then McHale looked at the Thunder's bench and found that Donovan had no intention of replacing Westbrook.

McHale stomped his feet on the sidelines. It is estimated that this ball cannot be won.

Tactically, the Rockets still rely too much on Westbrook's abnormal performance.

Such a team can't go too far in the playoffs.
