Basketball: The Chosen Victim

clack clack...

Listen, that's the sound of the camera capturing Wu Di's handsome shooting posture, and it's also the sound of Durant's heartbreak!
Scarlett is pregnant with Wu Di’s child!
Durant clutched his chest, his face turned pale, as if he had been hit a hundred million times!

Yes, a hundred million times, less than once is disrespectful to Wu Di, no, to Durant!
As we all know, Durant is still single after the Scarlett incident. Not to mention getting married, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend!
Now suffering another [-] million critical hits...

All this happened too suddenly and too dramatically. Just now Durant was saying that Wu Di was not worthy of Scarlett, but here he was shocked to learn that Scarlett was not only secretly interested in her, but had even...

beep!
Seeing that Durant was not in the right state, Brooks called a timeout:

"KD, what's the matter?"

Durant didn't answer, just put on a towel and sat on the bench in a daze, continuing to think about life.

Brooks looked at everyone on the court with doubtful eyes. The conversation between Wu Di and Durant just now did not reach here, so he didn't know what happened.

Ibaka was about to explain, but was stopped by Westbrook:
"Stop discussing this first, everyone who understands understands, and those who don't understand won't understand even if we explain it. In short, we need to win this game first!"

Brooks had a black question mark on his face. Although they were now 7 points ahead and still had the ball, without Durant, Wu Di could make a comeback for them on the spot!

Besides, what kind of melon is it?
However, just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly stopped when he saw the curious expressions of all the Thunder players.

"What a risk! Westbrook is indeed the leader of the team! Indeed, if there is a big melon, it will have to wait until after the game, otherwise it will only make the situation worse if it affects the status of others..."

Brooks thought to himself, his brain thinking about countermeasures rapidly.

When West saw Brooks not answering, he thought he was not persuasive enough, so he touched Harden, who was almost laughing and suffering from internal injuries.

The second brother arranged it like this, Harden had no choice but to hold it in, wiped the tip of his nose and said:

"Coach...KD has suffered a serious heart injury, very serious. He just wants to be quiet now..."

"What? Then we must find a place for him!"

Fisher, a veteran who was traded in the middle of the season, stood up and said.

Brooks had a look of surprise on his face, he was thinking more than Lao Yu!

Even Harden, who usually doesn't care about anything, emphasized that Durant was seriously hurt. This was definitely something serious!

He looked at Durant, then at Wu Di on the other side, and then at the charming widow on the other side. He seemed to finally understand something. He cursed secretly in his heart, but turned around and muttered: :
"Old Yu, if you come to take over from KD, you must keep the score tight. KD will recover soon!"

...Back on the court again, everyone in the Thunder was united in their hatred. Lao Yu came up and teamed up with Ibaka to score an alley-oop!
95-86!

But without Durant's defense, Wu Di faced Harden, who was a beat slower, and immediately performed what is called a facial kick from outside the three-point line!

Harden's timing to block the shot was perfect, but both his height, wingspan and jumping speed were far behind Wu Di's. He could only watch the basketball draw a parabola in the air——

Swish!
The basketball exploded into a brilliant splash of water in the air!

95-89!

But this is just the beginning. On the defensive end, Wu Di launched a death-wrench defense against Harden, and Irving's defense against the old fish was much better than before...

The Thunder were in a tough battle, with the basketball passing back and forth, and players using various pick-and-roll screens, but they were still unable to find the Cavaliers' flaw!
At the last moment, Westbrook suddenly burst out and cut inside from the top of the arc, obviously wanting to charge with the ball again!
Lao Yu's basketball was immediately passed over, but there was a snap!
Wu Di, who had been prepared for this for a long time, cut the ball off!
Irving picks up the ball and rushes!

Westbrook chased away with a look of regret!

His straight-line speed was really too fast. Irving was caught up as soon as he reached the three-point line!
But it wasn't a big problem. Irving glanced back, directly chose to ball up, his feet quickly accelerated, and then he made a rare layup without a hook!

Boom!
The basketball bounced off the board hard, and Westbrook missed it, but Wu Di, who arrived later, grabbed the ball with one hand——

Bang!
Smash Huashan!

Wu Dikong dunked into the basket!

95-91!

Quicken Loans Arena is boiling!

Only 4 points left!

Brooks was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Regardless of his image, he hurriedly came to Durant and squatted down in front of him. He talked for a while, but Durant still looked stunned.

The court continued to be stalemate, and both sides missed consecutive hits due to reduced physical fitness, but relatively speaking, the Cavaliers had the greater advantage. Wu Di attracted a double team and then passed Irving in seconds, chasing the score to 95-93!

There are only 2 points left, and Durant hasn't recovered yet!

Brooks almost fell to his knees!
Next, after another struggle, the Thunder finally scored a 2-pointer, but on the Cavaliers' side, Wu Di connected with Love and scored a 3-pointer!
97-96!

Only 1 points away!

At the moment of life and death, Westbrook burned himself again, picked up the ball and rushed inside to complete the layup!
99-96!

But this style of play was too exhausting. Soon, after several waves of offense and defense, Westbrook couldn't stand still and fell to the ground holding his legs!
The referee immediately called an official timeout, but it was still a step too late. Irving had already scored!

99-98!

Brooks rushed forward in one stride!
"I'm having cramps!"

Westbrook shouted with a painful expression. Brooks wiped his sweat after hearing this. Fortunately, it was just a cramp!
The massages should still be available!

only……

Brooks turned his head, and Durant seemed to be brought back to reality by Westbrook's cramp, and he was surrounding Westbrook at the moment!

"KD..."

Brooks was about to slap Durant on the shoulder hard, but his palm suddenly stopped in mid-air!
Because of Durant’s eyes!

Durant didn't say anything, just nodded towards him, but the murderous look in his eyes made Brooks shudder!
When he left, he was just a licking dog. No, when he left, he was just a young man. When he came back, he was already a god of death!

beep!
The official timeout ended and the game restarted. Westbrook had to rest for 2 minutes for massage, but it was not a big problem. KD came back on the court!

"There are 5 minutes and 37 seconds left! KD, you are finally back! KD!"

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal stood up excitedly, waved his fists and shouted!

Although Brooks didn't know what was going on, there was a live mic sound in their live broadcast room. O'Neal originally supported the Thunder, and now they share the same hatred after learning about Durant's experience!
"Fortunately, I'm back! Let me tell you, after what happened, if you don't beat the opponent to a pulp, what kind of man are you? Oh! It's a three-pointer! Do you have it?"

Kenny Smith fanned the flames and explained:

"Oh! We're in! We came back just in time! 102-98! Frustrated in love, proud in the court, KD continues, we must win this game!"

The magician also pursed his lips and smiled:
"KD's goal was so crucial! It instantly stopped the Thunder's decline, but I don't know if they can hold back the Cavaliers' momentum..."

Barkley was about to answer, but was interrupted by the Ooni:
"Oh, what a beautiful interception!!! KD actually intercepted Wu Di's pass, YES! We want to get back all the lost dignity, charge!!!"

Kenny Smith immediately picked up:
"Pass to Laoyu, Laoyu runs the fast break, ahhhh! Why is he running so slowly! Pass it to KD again, KD dunks... it's a block! Ou Xiete! Wu Di nailed the big block!"

After saying that, he immediately slapped his shiny forehead angrily!
O'Neal kept hammering the table with both hands!Buckley saw this and sneered:

"Let me just say, now that both sides have fought to this level and their physical strength has declined, the theme has changed a long time ago. Whoever can do a good job in defense can win the game..."

The magician couldn't help but grinned and sighed:

"The offense and defense on both sides were really intense! I haven't seen such a beautiful finals in a long time!"

Barkley laughed and said:
"That's right, with this point difference, if Wu Di gets the touch, it will only take a matter of minutes to overtake. Until the last moment, no one can be sure who will win in the end..."

On the court, Irving held the ball on the left wing and Wu Di picked and rolled. After Irving passed him, he immediately rushed forward, but was blocked by Durant. He pulled it back and passed it to Wu Di, but it was a bit late. Durant's foot was injured. The wind came to Wu Di before basketball!

After receiving the ball, Wu Di bucked the trend and pushed the ball to break through, trying to beat Durant with a poor rhythm!
However, Durant didn't know whether he had just rested for a while and recovered his physical strength or suddenly had an epiphany. He suddenly defended Wu Di's moves that were difficult to parry before!

However, Wu Di had already suffered such a loss just now, and this time he pushed the ball with enough margin, and directly turned into an explosive step and turned back——

Ok?
Wu Di groaned, and Durant's big hand blocked all his shooting routes!
At the moment of life and death, Wu Di had no time to pass the ball again. He could only grit his teeth and stretch his core and lean back. At the same time, he kicked out with his raised legs, trying to use the time in the air to gain hand space!

Durant wants to win, but Wu Di has no reason to lose!

This time, the flying badge didn't light up in his mind, but he pushed himself to his limit!

The basketball slightly rubbed Durant's fingertips and flew out!

boom!
Wu Di slipped to the ground with a sour look on his face. His waist seemed to have flashed just now, but he could no longer care about anything else and quickly got up to grab the rebound!
Bang!
The basketball hit the side of the basket, then circled around the basket for two times and seemed to roll out from the back edge of the basket!
The hearts of more than 2 fans at the scene were immediately in the air. Jordan was blocked by Perkins, and only Wu Di and Ibaka rushed to the right position!

But because Ibaka was on the defensive side and had the first-mover advantage, he was one step ahead of Wu Di and blocked Wu Di's tipper!

But just when he reached out to pick up the ball, Wu Di blew hard at the basketball!

At this moment, the basketball changed direction, hit the backboard, and then slid into the net!
"Wang Defa!"

Ibaka couldn't help but swear. Is there such an operation? !
And doesn't this count as interference?
The basketball fell into the net, and the fans immediately jumped into the air with excitement!

And the referee didn't call it and signaled that the goal was valid!

102-100!

The point difference returned to 2 points again!
But Brooks rushed to the referee with an indignant look. The ball should have been a jump ball, but it had already stopped on the basket!
The person standing under the basket just now was the deputy referee. The referee actually didn't see it very clearly. In addition, the referee in this game obviously favored the Thunder. The referee came to the rostrum to watch the replay.

At first glance, the ball does seem to have stopped on the basket first. If this is the case, then it will indeed be called a contest, but is this really the case?

"House Gift Crab! This operation is too sexy!"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley was trembling with joy, and the magician also clapped his hands and applauded:
"The wind is faster than the hand, because it blows Sting! Because it blows Sting!"

But O'Neal and Kenny Smith shook their heads like rattles:
"That's not wind, that's like a mouthful of phlegm! How disgusting!"

"We should give him a technical offender directly, otherwise what if he brings down other players?"

But when the replay was played, Wu Di didn't spit at the basketball, he just blew it in in one breath!
And before Wu Di blew, the basketball was still rolling out. Although the speed was very slow, after playing it several times, it was indeed still spinning!
In other words, the basketball did not stop and did not reach the standard of jumping ball!
This is a good tip-in shot!

"Hahaha, it's time to become famous!"

Buckley pounded the table and laughed.

"I'm so drunk! This is the first time I've seen this happen in all my years of playing!"

Magic Johnson couldn't help but laugh.

But O'Neal clenched his fists angrily:
"Damn it, KD is on the rise! I don't want the Thunder to lose like this!"

Kenny Smith was so angry that his head started to smoke:

"Ahh! This is totally unreasonable. The Thunder must not lose! Very good, Westbrook has replaced Lao Yu!"

With 3 minutes and 23 seconds left on the court, Westbrook returned to the court. There seemed to be no problem at first, but as soon as he rushed up, his speed was obviously much slower, and his expression was wrinkled!
Obviously, Westbrook was still affected by the thigh cramp just now!
Without speed, Westbrook's proud lethality no longer exists, and even Irving blocked him.

At such a critical moment, Westbrook did not dare to be reckless and handed the ball to Harden.

But Harden barely had much rest in this game. He couldn't bear it after spending time in nightclubs. His playing style was slow and lacked soulful variety. His organizational ability was no longer what it used to be. He could only hand the ball over to Durant for pick-and-rolls!

But such a slow pick-and-roll naturally couldn't stop Wu Di. Durant swung left and right, but still couldn't get Wu Di away. He checked that the time was less than 6 seconds, so he pulled back and suddenly rushed forward to blast the ball!

Wu Di's eyelids twitched and he jumped up immediately!

Bang!
The basketball hit the frame and bounced off, but Ibaka roared, grabbed the rebound and passed it back to Durant!

"Oh! What a pity this rebound!"

In the commentary box on the sidelines, Old Tate lamented over and over again along with the audience.

"It's okay, there are still 3 minutes left, there is still a chance! The knight can't be anxious, just fight like this! Just fight like this!"

Larry Nance on the side said deliberately calmly.

Durant's eyes were cold. His second and third brothers were all out of action. The fourth brother was not strong in offensive ability, so he could only rely on him now!

This time, he must win!
For these brothers, for Scarlett, and even more for his own dignity!

He alternately dribbled the ball with his left and right hands one step outside the three-point line on the wing. Wu Di did not reach out to interfere. His expression remained calm, but the large beads of sweat on his face betrayed him.

Just now he had reached his waist, and with that blow again, the pain was getting worse!
But he chose to hold on!

Durant seemed to notice something. His eyes narrowed, and with 24 seconds left in 7 seconds, he made a jump shot with a ball step!
Wu Di's shot was missed by a hair, and the basketball was like an orange bomb, exploding into a white spray in the air!

105-100!

Durant's face was expressionless. He had figured it out when he was off the court. If love is a thing of the past, he would bury it with his own hands!
"Oh, I scored! This goal is so crucial!"

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal excitedly punched again!

"Huh? That's what you just said!"

Buckley said.

"Go away, don't interrupt!"

Kenny Smith pushed him aside directly by pressing his bald head.

On the court, this ball really hurt the morale of the Cavaliers. In the next round, they passed the ball many times, but they failed to find the opportunity. The ball came to Wu Di again!
Wu Di played in singles, but Durant's defense was perfect. Wu Di endured the pain in his waist, forced a sudden attack to attract double teams, and then passed back to Love!

Love takes action!

Bang!
The basketball hit the basket. In the chaos, Perkins grabbed the rebound and passed it to Durant again! (End of chapter)
