Chapter 333 Quasi-kill?(1/3)
"why is it you again?"
Players from both sides came on the court again. When Durant saw Trail Blazers No. 3 walking towards him, his face instantly fell.
"Hey, don't worry, man. My defender isn't you this time."
Beverley smiled and joked, walked past Durant and went straight to Caron Butler.
At the critical final moment, Aldridge turned over Durant and scored two points with a jump shot from the beginning.
After the 21st century, the NBA has gone through more than ten years of development, and has already begun to feel "positional ambiguity".
The point guard acts as the shooting guard, the small forward acts as the point guard, and the positions of power forward and center are blurred. Perhaps the position that has changed the least is the shooting guard position.
When playing the third position, Durant is a bug on the offensive end, and he is also top-notch on the defensive end. After all, his height, wingspan, and athletic ability are all there, so he naturally takes advantage when playing the third position.
When it comes to the inside, first of all, Durant's height is definitely enough, but when he plays the third position, his body advantage and wingspan advantage are completely gone.
At this time, he was facing off against Aldridge. Although the latter was playing the power forward position, he was a top ten center in height, and his physical confrontation ability was not inferior to that of most centers in the league.
Aldridge said: Do you think I want it?
Therefore, Durant still had some trouble defending inside players. However, he was in surprisingly good condition on the offensive end. He turned around and responded with a mid-range shot from Aldries. The two teams tied again at 107:107.
Tie.
The cheers of the fans have become hoarse, and the audience in front of the TV is also a little numb... This is the first time tonight that the Trail Blazers and Thunder have tied.
Of course, the commentators still maintain their passion.
"Again and again...it's a tie!" Yu Jia exclaimed and continued:
"Compared with the excitement of tonight's game, it has exceeded many people's expectations, and I am the same! The two teams have entered the rhythm of offensive battle... So, which team wants to win next, just
It depends on who can continue with a more steady offensive rhythm."
"At this time, both sides can only rely on the stars! It can only be the stars... Since you have to make so much more money than other teammates every year and still have a core position in the team, then, at this point
At this critical moment, you must not be soft!"
Zhang Lili said seriously.
Trail Blazers offense.
The two sides settled into position and the ball was handed to Wang Zelin in the short corner on the right wing.
The next moment, the spotlight instantly fell on Wang Zelin.
Perkins defended Wang Zelin with his back, and other Thunder players consciously shrank in, ready to help defend at any time.
"Bah bang bang!"
As the slapping sound became louder and louder, Wang Zelin pushed in again and again.
"Hmph! Ahem..."
In the physical duel, Parkinson was once again at a disadvantage. He tried his best, but was still unable to withstand Wang Zelin's bulldozer attack.
When Wang Zelin approached the right side of the free throw line, Durant in the short corner on the left no longer hesitated and hurriedly made up for it.
In this case, Wang Zelin's best choice is to pass the ball to the free Aldridge, and everyone knows that he has this ability.
However, Wang Zelin did not pass the ball.
In fact, he heard all Zhang Lili's previous explanation: What they said is right. They became the Blazers in their second season and deserved to be the core. They have already done a good job of "Give me the ball and I will do it."
Get it done” preparation.
At the same time, Terry Stotts was sitting on the coach's chair on the sidelines, still keeping his arms around his shoulders. But if you look closely, you can find that the straight suit has been dented, and his fingers are getting whiter and whiter...
Sure enough, his inner lake was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
Wang Zelin's choice was somewhat beyond his expectation, but he still decided to believe in Wang Zelin, and at the same time, he also believed that his eyes would not see the wrong person.
At this time, Wang Zelin hit Perkins on the back and his shoulder suddenly moved to the left, which was seen by Durant.
"Turn over and shoot!"
He made the decision with almost no hesitation and accelerated frantically to the left.
If everything goes as he thought, what awaits Wang Zelin will be a block without any suspense.
Perkins also noticed Wang Zelin's movements and took a step forward in time.
"be careful!"
Yu Jia couldn't help shouting.
It was as if he and Wang Zelin were in tune with each other on the court. Before the two formed a double-team, he suddenly turned around and walked to the middle. It was not a turn-over jumper or a baseline slide.
"Fell into a trap?"
It must be said that it was Durant who reacted instantly, stepped on the accelerator, adjusted his body, turned to the right, and chased after him like crazy.
Sure enough, every NBA superstar in their prime, regardless of their usual defensive performance, at the critical moment when the outcome is about to be determined, as long as they want to defend well, at least their defensive awareness will never drop.
of.
Just like Durant in front of me.
It has to be said that Durant's reaction speed and defensive awareness are quite timely. It can be said that he has unleashed his full potential at this moment.
He doesn’t want to lose! He can’t lose either!
It is a pity that the finishing method used by Wang Zelin was not a layup or dunk, but a left-hand high-throwing hook while facing sideways to the basket.
The hook is a skill that every inside player must master.
However, most people only master the left and right hand hooks under the basket. If you are a little further away from the basket, you cannot guarantee it.
At this time, Wang Zelin stood one step away from the free throw line. When his left hand spread out to the extreme, it could be clearly seen through the camera that he could definitely reach the free throw line.
"The shooting distance is almost 16 feet, right?"
Thunder coach Scott Brooks was not calm on the spot. Like Beverley before, he was instantly ejected from the coach's position.
"No, it's impossible?"
After noticing Wang Zelin's choice of attack, Durant knew that unless he was possessed by Superman at this moment, he would not be able to break away from gravity and intercept the attack.
The only thing I can do is to pray silently in my heart.
"Will you come in?"
Not only the Blazers, but also the audience in the stands are secretly looking forward to it.
The former is expecting to go in, while the latter is expecting not to go in.
"Bang!"
The first shot of the basketball hit the backboard.
"Yes..."
The Thunder fans in the stands were preparing to cheer, and the next second...
"Whoosh!"
The ball hits the board and goes into the frame.
Wang Zelin scored two points with a "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar skyhook" from mid-range.
The effect is self-evident.
Just look at the silent Energy Arena and you will know that it is an absolute sh*t!
"Oh ho ho ho!"
Zhang Lili immediately laughed heartily.
Yu Jia exclaimed: "Sky Hook! This ball is definitely possessed by Sky Hook! Facing this kind of attack, I really don't know how desperate Durant would feel at the time... Finally, let us congratulate the king, he
Scored a crucial goal!”
Beep~
With 58 seconds left on the clock, it was the Thunder's turn to call a timeout. After calling this time, Scott Brooks only had the last timeout left in his hands.
Return to the bench.
Scott Brooks didn't arrange anything, and he didn't know what tactics and strategies he should arrange at this moment.
yes!
Everyone has reached this point. Unless a surprise player appears, everyone can only rely on the longest player on the court.
Thinking of the Raiders, Scott Brook first looked at Caron Butler who had hit a key three-pointer in front of him, but he quickly shook his head slightly: Caron is already old, and the No. 3 defense opposite cannot be underestimated, and he cannot be relied on.
.
"Bah bang bang!"
The applause rang out, and everyone in the Thunder focused on Scott Brooks.
There was no way. At this time, the players were all shocked by Wang Zelin's performance at the critical moment. They didn't recover for a long time, and even their original confidence in chasing victory began to waver.
To be continued...
