NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 605: Full fire, don’t give a chance
"It's now!"
Seeing that Holiday's center of gravity was unstable, Westbrook suddenly sprinted and made a steal.
He still couldn't help but take the shot, but this time, it was no longer a gamble steal like before.
Westbrook's speed was so fast that Holiday only felt a black shadow flash in front of him.
The basketball was poked out and 'disappeared'.
Westbrook advanced quickly, and Durant followed closely behind.
He was extremely happy in his heart. As long as Westbrook can always behave rationally, then the Thunder will have enough confidence to win this game.
In the fast break, Westbrook did not rush to the basket, but was blocked by Lian Dao and passed the ball to Durant who followed up.
After Durant got the basketball, he dunked directly after a big stride.
Because Lian Dao assisted Westbrook, he had no time to return to defense at all, and could only watch Durant dunk and score.
The Thunder gave the Knicks a big blow at the start.
Although Lian Dao was a little surprised by this, he felt it was reasonable.
It is impossible to defeat the Thunder in the last match. They have learned from the experience of the previous games, and this time they have obviously improved a lot.
But the Knicks were not afraid of the challenge, and Lian Dao decided to return it in the next round.
The Knicks attacked, and Holiday broke through again and was blocked by Westbrook, which made him involuntarily pull the ball to the outside organization again.
At this time, Lian Dao beckoned to Holiday for the ball.
The Knicks' first attack finally fell on Lian Dao.
Lian Dao received the basketball and confronted Durant on the right flank.
Durant stood ready, lowered his center of gravity, and opened his arms.
Durant has already accumulated defensive experience in the process of playing against Lian Dao.
So he was very well prepared.
But still the same sentence, adequate preparation is one thing, and being able to defend is another.
As soon as he came up, Lian Dao went all out.
Lian Dao opened his posture, dribbled the ball with his right hand, made a big change of direction in front of his body, and made a breakthrough with cross steps.
Durant quickly followed, but Lian Dao suddenly lowered his center of gravity based on the original breakthrough.
In an extremely narrow space, he suddenly slapped a basketball with his left hand, completing the second consecutive disguise!
At that moment, Durant only felt Lian Dao flash in front of his eyes, and then suddenly disappeared, passing by him.
Durant didn't have time to react at all, he was like a puppet, he could only let Lian Dao break through like lightning.
Only when he turned his head could he see Lian Dao Feiqi's figure.
But it was obviously too late to return to defense at this time.
At the same time, Perkins had no time to return to defense this time.
He really didn't expect that Durant would be so clean in a short period of time.
How should I put it, it feels like it didn't play the slightest defensive role.
Now, the Thunder's basket can be said to be defenseless against Lian Dao, and he can wreak havoc as much as he wants.
"sickle he...just passed away like this?"
Barkley hadn't figured out what happened just now, he only saw Lian Dao swaying for a moment, directly passing through Durant's defense.
Then he drove straight in, and in the desperate eyes of Perkins and Ibaka, he scored with one hand!
As soon as Lian Dao came up, he was fully fired and entered the super **** mode!
Lian Dao, who has entered the super **** mode, cannot be stopped by Durant alone.
The fans in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then burst into fierce cheers.
Knicks fans didn't understand how Lian Dao broke through.
But it wasn't the first time they had seen Lian Dao's miraculous performance, so they weren't too surprised.
Applause and cheer, shout awesome 666, and it's over!
On the court, Lian Dao smiled and waved his arms, completing the first finish in a chic way.
The super-large disguise and lightning-fast breakthroughs ruthlessly destroyed Durant's self-confidence.
The reason why this game broke out early was to give the Thunder a blow to their confidence.
He wants to leave the psychological shadow of the Knicks invincible to the Thunder at home.
So even if they go to the away game, the Knicks still have a psychological advantage.
Durant was originally full of expectations for this game.
He thought that with the experience of fighting for the first time, they had found a way to deal with the Knicks.
Especially after Westbrook steals and completes a fast-break counterattack, Durant already has enough confidence to grab a victory at Madison Garden.
But then Lian Dao gave Durant a thunderous blow.
After Durant was teased by Lian Dao's sudden change of direction, the development of things began to deviate from Durant's expected range.
Lian Dao was so beautiful in the last round, which made Durant feel a little fear in his heart.
He has played against Lian Dao not once or twice, and he is also familiar with Lian Dao's entering a supernatural state.
But familiarity is familiarity, he has been unable to stop Lian Dao's outbreak.
If it was the past, he would look forward to the period of physical weakness after Lian Dao entered the super **** state.
After all, although the super **** state is powerful, his super burst consumes a lot of energy, so it is impossible to enter for a long time.
But in the last match, Lian Dao's abnormal physical fitness made Durant not sure whether they could survive Lian Dao's explosive period.
If they can't even survive the explosive period, then the Thunder will have no way to talk about counterattacking during the weak period of Lian Dao.
"Kevin, Kevin, attack!"
Westbrook quickly passed by Durant and yelled at Durant, who was a little dazed.
Durant came back to his senses.
In the last match, the two sides played ups and downs in the third quarter, and the Knicks were even more dangerous.
This is not just due to Durant alone, the entire Thunder team performed well during that time period.
Especially Westbrook and James Harden, they provoked the team's offense during the time period when Durant was restricted by cheap rice.
But today, D'Antoni didn't want to give the Thunder any chance.
It wasn't just the Thunder that grew up in the finals. The Knicks were also accumulating experience in their fight against the Thunder.
D'Antoni already expected Brooks to make a change.
With Lian Dao on Durant's side, his performance will be limited.
Even if Durant is entrusted with important tasks, he cannot play a greater role.
And the ones who are most likely to be entrusted with important tasks are Westbrook and James Harden!
Judging from the opening performance, D'Antoni guessed right.
On the return defense, D'Antoni made tactical gestures towards Holiday and Tony Allen.
Holiday and Tony Allen complete the switch!
This is also the main reason why D'Antoni put Tony Allen in the starting lineup.
It can be seen from D'Antoni letting Tony Allen defend Westbrook that the Knicks don't want the Thunder to make even one round easy today.
Holiday's defense is good, but defending Westbrook, he is still a little lacking in physique and confrontation ability.
But Tony Allen is different. He is definitely a defensive player who can fight against Westbrook without suffering.
Lian Dao was very lucky to let Donnie Walsh intercept Tony Allen before the Grizzlies.
Next, he only needs to play a heads-up game with Durant wholeheartedly.
Seeing that Tony Allen was defending himself, Westbrook wanted to force a breakthrough with speed.
But Tony Allen's lateral speed is not slow. He is a defensive expert who can defend from the first position to the third position.
So it is impossible to make this mistake.
He released a distance in advance, and this distance can not only cope with his breakthrough speed when Westbrook breaks through.
It can also be used to intervene when Westbrook suddenly shoots cold arrows from the outside.
Westbrook dived headfirst into Tony Allen.
But he immediately discovered that he could not continue to break through the basket easily with a crushing posture.
Facing Tony Allen, Westbrook's physical advantage disappeared.
In Tony Allen's tough blocking~www.innread.com~ Westbrook had to break through and score the ball.
Of course, there are many kinds of breakthrough points.
After attracting double-teaming, the breakthrough ball can often create offensive opportunities for teammates.
But because the drive is blocked and forced to split the ball, it is no longer a good pass option.
Westbrook's point this time obviously belongs to the latter.
The basketball flew towards Sefolosha in a hurry, but before the basketball reached Sefolosha's hands, it was intercepted by Holiday in advance.
Durant sighed helplessly and retreated quickly.
In the previous round, he had no chance to catch the ball under the entanglement of Lian Dao.
Ever since he was shaken away by Lian Dao and made a breakthrough, Durant felt that today's form didn't seem right.
No, the defense just overturned, and the offense followed suit.
Durant shook his head and hurriedly adjusted his mentality, he wanted to get rid of the messy thoughts.
He knows how important this game is to the Thunder.
So no matter how difficult it is, Durant must try his best to fight this game down.
