Chapter 157 My second brother is invincible



Chapter 157 My second brother is invincible

In the opening 2 minutes, the Thunder bombed wildly, playing the Spurs like a high school team.

On the bench, Su Yang put his hands on his hips and said calmly: "OK, you guys did a great job! The problem with the Spurs is that they made consecutive shots, which allowed us to launch quick counterattacks many times, and they shot and shot because they thought too easily and planned to use it. McDyess, who was retiring soon, took a long [-] to hold us back and honestly, that was disrespectful! We did a great job responding!
But then, they're going to go inside for sure, they're going to give the ball to the great Tim Duncan, that's what they usually do when they panic, so we're going to be really strong inside and post up..."

In just 60 seconds, Su Yang repeated the defensive strategies of both sides in detail, followed by the sound of the whistle at the end of the timeout.

Durant and others turned around and returned to the court. Assistant coach Brian smiled: "What if the Spurs didn't hand over to Duncan?"

Su Yang also smiled: "No, I know Popovich too well, I see him coaching for many years..."

On the field, the game continued.

The Spurs did not make personnel adjustments, Hill received the ball and advanced in the backcourt, and the Thunder fans shouted defense in unison.

After some running, the Spurs started with a zipper tactic, and Ginobili and Duncan made a pick-and-roll cooperation at the top of the arc.

According to Su Yang's pre-match defensive arrangement, Chandler did not hesitate to go up and delay, and Duncan took the opportunity to dismantle and turn inside.

Ginobili patiently controlled the ball and pretended to make a breakthrough. Seeing that Duncan was fully activated, he immediately raised his hand to give the ball.

The gesture of raising the hand is very beautiful, the basketball is flying very fast, and the position of the landing is also very precise. In short, it is a perfect pass.

But the moment Duncan received the ball, Ibaka and Durant, two tall men, shrank from the left and right waists at the same time.

In the face of a two-person pinch, the great Tim Duncan did not have the domineering a few years ago. He didn't think about it for a second, and directly distributed the ball to McDyess, who was temporarily open. The name of the first power forward.

But Ibaka returned to the defense like lightning, jumped high and straightened his left hand, interfering with the basket like a protruding stake.

when!McDyess put the basket and hit the iron, hurriedly took off for the second time to grab the offensive rebound, slammed the ball vigorously, turned around and threw it to Duncan.

Chandler was about to block the shot, but he didn't expect McDyess to be so delicate, and it was too late to return to defend Duncan.

Amid the boos all over the court, Duncan jumped slightly and put the ball into the net with one hand, as if he was not affected by the backwardness.

Seeing this, Brian sighed: "This is the experience of the playoffs. Even if the team's opening performance is poor, they can maintain a good attitude."

Su Yang shook his head slightly: "In fact, Chandler was too careless. He saw McDyess jumping up and shot, and didn't prepare to get stuck in the rebound, which led to a chain reaction. But everything happened so fast at that time, it was normal..."

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, Westbrook rushed to the right wing with the ball, directly covered the ladder, and faced Duncan in a dislocation, burying his head and rushing.

Duncan lowered his center of gravity and raised his left hand to follow. Who would have thought that Westbrook's sudden deceleration tricked Duncan into raising his center of gravity too much, and then took the opportunity to speed up. Between slow and fast, he used the change of rhythm to shake off and see, easily rushed to the basket and jumped up Backhand dunk.

Cheers poured out from all around the arena, assistant coach Brooks turned his head to look at Su Yang in surprise, as if seeking an explanation.

Su Yang curled his lips: "I don't know why, Russell actually played like Nash and CP3, it's scary!"

A completely healthy Westbrook who uses his brain all the time is really scary when he thinks about it, and it won't work well for anyone else.

With emotion, the Spurs launched a counterattack, and Hill dribbled the ball forward, waving his hands frequently and shouting tactics, a little anxious.

The Spurs played a strong and weak side transfer first, Hill crossed the ball from the left into the paint area, and then circled to the right to receive the ball.Because Ginobili ran into the paint at the same time, when Hill received the ball, the right half was already empty, like a middle school campus in summer vacation.

If it were Parker, it would probably be a singles breakthrough on the spot.

However, Hill doesn't have that ability, so he can only act as a tactical bait, and instead pass the ball to the top of the arc.

Ginobili received the ball, took advantage of the situation and formed a pick-and-roll cooperation with McDyess, and strode to the left to accelerate the breakthrough.

Ibaka was delayed as usual, and Sefolosha also squeezed through the cover to catch up. The two took McDyess as air.

Ginobili was double-teamed, tired and hesitated for a while, and distributed the ball to McDyess who disassembled the ball.

Perhaps because of the continuous shooting before, McDyess had lost confidence and did not dare to make a big shot. Instead, he turned and faced the bottom corner on the right, and passed it to Hill who was waiting there at a rate of 0.5 times. Su Yang wanted to rush up. Steal.

Snapped!Westbrook made a flying save and successfully staged his special skill of 'stealing the pass while defending off the ball'.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Popovich yelled to retreat, and McDyess hurriedly grabbed Westbrook.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul.

Su Yang got up and applauded, and quickly deployed an ATO tactic while Westbrook was still on the bench.

The referee arranged the sideline ball in a blink of an eye, and Westbrook caught the ball and pushed it all the way to the right side of the frontcourt at 45 degrees.

Chandler simultaneously mentioned the top of the arc to catch the ball, turned around and passed it to Sefoloza at 45 degrees on the left, and Durant started from the low bottom corner on the right at the same time, and with the help of Ibaka's cover, he strode towards the paint Area, manufacture high and low connection lines.

Sefolosha didn't have a chance to steal points. Instead, he passed the ball to the left waist, then ran to the right, and crossed with Westbrook without the ball.

Durant catches the ball and heads-up, with too much advantage in height and wingspan, he can easily pick up Jefferson with just a shake.

Hill hurriedly shrunk from the three-point line, trying to control Durant's dribbling range and help his teammates gain time to make up the defense.

I thought, Durant made an emergency stop and passed the ball to Westbrook, Hill hurried back to defense, and the rest of the Spurs returned to their positions.

Westbrook held the ball high and pretended to shoot. He also easily picked up Hill, then released the ball to break through and easily hit the basket.

Bang!

Westbrook dunked and scored with both hands, landed on the ground and glared, raised his hand and slapped his chest fiercely, roaring with pride.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, Russell who can use his brain is like a god of war..." Su Yang couldn't help praising him, thinking that in the past, Westbrook would probably make a three-pointer when he caught the ball just now. Get up, then dunk the basket.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Spurs launched a counterattack, and Ginobili directly raised the right side 45 degrees to take the ball.

The pace is quite fast, but the method is still to cover for Duncan after Hill passes the ball, which is a typical RAM cooperation.

Duncan blocked Sefolosha with a wall, Ginobili tried to break through again, and Chandler resolutely double-teamed.

The Spurs' offense was blocked, and Jefferson hurried up from the right corner, bowed to receive the pass, and made a strong shot against Durant.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Sefoloza jumped to grab the rebound, landed and turned around and rushed forward, reaching the left wing of the frontcourt in four seconds.

The Spurs retreated very quickly, Westbrook followed up and took the ball in the middle circle, and raised his hand a little bit to signal everyone to pull away.

The rest of the Thunder players did the same, but just opened up a little space, Westbrook suddenly exploded and accelerated his breakthrough.

Su Yang was dumbfounded, and thought to himself, this is not playing according to the routine, and he can do whatever he wants without breaking the rules.

The players of the two teams didn't react, Westbrook moved to the basket and scored another dunk.

Westbrook dunks three times in a row!

The cheers immediately resounded in the arena, the Spurs made a fast break, Duncan caught the ball with his right waist and hit back, Chandler tried his best to interfere.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul.

Popovich hurriedly arranged for Parker to appear on the stage, and hurriedly explained something, wishing the referee would give him 10 minutes.

As for the Thunder, Durant excitedly gave Westbrook a high-five, muttering something, as if saying that my second brother is invincible.
