Chapter 677 Talent showdown, twists and turns!
Since it is the final game of the preseason, both teams cherish this last training opportunity before the start of the regular season.
From the beginning of the game, both sides did their best with real knives and guns.
For the Rockets, Yao Ming took the lead in attacking.
Facing Perkins' defense, Dayao made a hit after turning over and leaning back at the beginning of the game, and then turned around in the low post and succeeded in hooking, which caused Perkins' foul.
After scoring 5 points in a row, the Rockets got off to a good start.
But soon, Durant responded.
Facing George's defense, kd used the screen to get rid of the defense, and then made a three-pointer in front of Yi Jianlian who was assisting in the defense!
After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shu~"
Hollow into the network!
5:3, the Thunder also broke the deadlock.
One minute later, George made a low-level, difficult and elegant shot.
Ibaka grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Westbrook.
The tortoise turned on its full horsepower, sparks and lightning all the way, and went straight to the Rockets restricted area.
Along the way, he passed Curry and Jeremy Lin successively, as if entering no one's land!
However, when Westbrook was about to complete the flying dunk, George suddenly broke out and made up for it, nailing the former's dunk to the backboard.
It's a pity that after the rebound, the basketball fell into the hands of Durant who followed up.
Kd lightly stretched the ape's arms and easily sent the ball into the basket.
5:5, the two teams drew.
Subsequently, Curry also began his performance.
The Rockets' offensive round.
After he dribbled through half court, he easily passed Westbrook with a behind-the-back dribble, and then went straight to the basket.
Facing Ibaka who was assisting in the defense, Curry made four or two moves and a high toss, successfully avoiding the opponent's long arm.
"Boom..."
Moments after the shot, Curry was knocked to the ground by Ibaka, and then the basketball went into the net!
After the ball was scored, Curry glanced at the referee's direction, but unfortunately did not get a response.
In the next round, Curry played a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc.
Due to his and UAE's excellent three-point ability, the Thunder did not dare to give anyone space, so they had to choose to switch defenses.
Ever since, the defender in front of Curry changed from Westbrook to Ibaka.
Ibaka's dynamic and static talents are very good, and his long arms and excellent lateral movement make him have a good ability to defend against small ones.
It's a pity that he is going to face Curry this time.
Mengshen first dribbled the ball like a string of butterflies piercing flowers, then suddenly lowered his center of gravity and made a gesture to shoot.
Ibaka was afraid of his three-point ability, and subconsciously shifted his center of gravity up, preparing to block the shot.
But this is just a "worship".
Seeing that the fake move successfully deceived the opponent, Curry crossed and accelerated to break through from the right.
However, Ibaka's defensive habits are extremely high.
Although he was shaken just now, he didn't jump up completely, and his toes were still on the ground.
This also gave him a way to adjust in time and strive to catch up.
However, the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot tall.
Ibaka had just stepped out of the chase, and Curry, who was breaking through, suddenly took a step back and bounced back outside the three-point line!
Ibaka was shocked and slammed on the brakes to return to defense.
But the step just now was too big, so that he didn't control his center of gravity when he turned around, and he just sat on the ground with a split!
Ibaka's expression was pained.
The flexibility of basketball players is generally good, but not to the extent that they can do splits unconsciously.
And Curry slowed down on the spot, and then calmly shot...
"Shu~"
Basketball hits the net!
10:5, the Rockets once again took a 5-point lead.
Curry hit consecutive shots, and the Thunder has no shortage of super scorers who can respond.
Looking back, Harden also started to attack.
He first assisted Ibaka in the pick-and-roll tactics and helped the latter stage an alley dunk.
Later, Harden singled Jeremy Lin at a 45-degree angle on the right.
I saw him making continuous rhythmic crotch dribbles, and suddenly started when Shuhao was distracted, and successfully completed the dribble.
Then, Harden accelerated to the free throw line.
Looking at Yao Ming, who was guarding the restricted area, he didn't go hard, but suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing Shuhao's "rear-end".
After making two free throws, the score became 10:9.
In the ensuing game, the two teams launched an offensive battle.
The stars of the Rockets and the three thunderbolts come and go, and they will not give in to each other.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled to a 32 tie!
............
In the second quarter of the game, the two teams began to send substitute players.
The Rockets are led by Curry, and new aids such as Leonard and Clay all appear on the stage.
On the Thunder's side, Durant also took 4 substitutes for the transition period.
Shen Fei in the stands became interested when he saw the lineups of the two sides.
Leonard and Durant - the two top small forwards in the future, ushered in the first confrontation in their careers!
Xiaoka faced kd after playing.
Although he is not as good as Durant in experience and skills, he still showed the style of future dpoy in individual rounds.
Especially in a heads-up in the middle, Xiaoka blocked Durant's emergency stop jumper face to face!
This hat made the fans at the scene couldn't help but gasp in amazement!
Of course, in most rounds, Xiaoka was still suppressed by Durant.
Fortunately, Curry provided a lot of firepower on the offensive end, offsetting the damage caused by kd.
In addition, Thompson's performance is also remarkable.
他在仅有的6分钟出场时间里，三分线外3投3中，以100%的命中率得到了9分。
And Sun Yue also staged a wonderful single-defense steal after coming off the bench.
In addition, he used oppressive defense to cause the Thunder's backup point guard to make a mistake and directly dribble the ball out of bounds.
Relying on the outstanding performance of the bench lineup, the Rockets established a 6-point lead at the end of the second quarter.
But the situation changed suddenly in the third quarter.
Westbrook broke out suddenly, not only by breaking through the inside line that kept killing the Rockets, but also unexpectedly making consecutive shots from outside the three-point line.
Curry's "thin" body can hardly resist Westbrook's impact, and the Rockets' defense can only be forced to adjust.
The Thunder played better and better under the leadership of Westbrook, and Durant and Harden also scored frequently.
After the third quarter, the Thunder not only evened the point difference, but also overtook it by 6 points!
But just when the fans felt that the Rockets' general situation was over, the defending champion showed his championship demeanor in the last quarter.
George, who had been suppressed by Durant in the first three quarters, finally began to show off in the fourth quarter.
He first passed Durant on the outside, rushed to the penalty area, overwhelmed Perkins, and completed a shocking dunk!
This buckle boosted the morale of the Rockets!
Subsequently, Griffin, who came off the bench, also showed the style of "White Warcraft".
Facing Ibaka's defense, he turned around quickly and wiped the former, then soared into the sky and ravaged the basket again!
On the defensive end, the Rockets responded by sending George and Leonard on the field at the same time.
When George defended Westbrook alone, he successfully predicted the latter's breakthrough intention, pulled out his ghost hand, and left the ball in place.
Afterwards, it was showtime for pickled peppers!
I saw him striding to the hinterland of Thunder, jumping with both feet, and completed the tomahawk snap before Westbrook arrived!
After a wave of 6:0 offensive, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
The stalemate lasted until the last minute.
Curry passed the half court with the ball, ready to make the final attack!
