The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 238
Durant's mid-range jumper was interfered by Li Pu and missed!
Then Li Pu turned around from the crowd and took the rebound.

Due to Patterson's mediocre physical fitness, the defense and rebounding of the entire penalty area needs Li Pu to shoulder the responsibility.

Not only that, after defending the opponent's attack, Li Pu didn't pass the ball, but dribbled the ball to the frontcourt by himself.

During this period, the Thunder players had no intention of coming over to steal Li Pu.

They have noticed the improvement of Li Pu's ball-handling skills in the past two years, and they will often dribble like this during training.

Regardless of his height of [-] meters, he also has a long wingspan. He lowers his body when dribbling and his dribbling point is very low, so he is not as good at stealing the ball as imagined.

Ibaka led the defense against Li Pu and retreated to the backcourt. The reason why Cousins ​​was not used here was because Cousins ​​couldn't keep up with Li Pu's speed. If he led the defense, Li Pu would easily break through.

After coming to the front court, Li Pu faced Ibaka and used a double crossover similar to Durant. Then, after shaking the space, he directly chose a three-point shot, and the basketball went into the net!

This performance stunned the fans.

If this covered Li Pu's face and jersey number, they would have thought that Durant had grown taller with the whole set of actions just now!

Seeing the surprised looks of the fans, Li Pu enjoyed the moment very much. After three years of hard training, he finally mastered the ability that he envied when he was a rookie!

And the first time to perform it in a regular game, it was the field I was most familiar with!

Wealth and honor do not return home, such as walking in brocade clothes at night!
"Prince, it's Prince again, he hit a crucial three-pointer again! He only scored 9 points in the first half, but he scored 26 points in the second half! He led the Kings to tie the game again!"

At this time, the time has reached the last moment of the fourth quarter, with 29 seconds left before the end of the game, and the score is 88:88.

Brooks called a timeout helplessly.

Until now, it still feels like a dream to him.

Since making defensive adjustments at halftime, Lip began his own offensive performance in the second half.

Hooks, three-pointers, mid-range shots, dunks, even golden rooster independence, dreamy footsteps, etc., the whole person is completely transformed into an offensive kaleidoscope, and he is omnipotent!

In this case, the score between the Thunder and the Kings has been entangled. In addition, Brooks just made a defensive adjustment, which made him unable to adjust for a while, so he could only bite the bullet and hold on.

As a result, the Thunder broke out in Durant. With Westbrook playing steadily, when the Thunder led the score by nearly 10 points several times, Li Pu chased them back again and again.

And finally with this three-pointer, successfully smoothed the point difference.

This guy, I thought he was scary, but I didn't expect him to be scarier than I thought!
After returning from the timeout, Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt and began to consume time.

Since the time was only 29 seconds, Westbrook did not take the risk of a strong attack, but prepared to consume the entire 24-second attack time, leaving less time for the opponent as much as possible.

With 8 seconds left in the shot clock, Durant reached for the ball, and Westbrook immediately handed it over.

Durant immediately changed direction and broke through after receiving the ball, but it was difficult to get rid of Butler's defense.

Butler is like a mad dog, clinging to Durant, and he defends very smartly without losing any position.

Seeing this situation, Durant had no choice but to force his shot!

"Duang!"

Relying on Butler's desperate defense, Durant missed the ball!
Lip beat Cousins ​​and Ibaka to grab the rebound and called a timeout.

At this time, there are 4.8 seconds left before the end of the game time, which is more than enough time for the Kings to make a lore. This time it is called a timeout, in order to find out how to send the ball to Li Pu.

Li Pu's performance tonight was really outstanding, so the Thunder's defense against Li Pu was absolutely strict.

In the end, Coach Brown chose to let Butler serve. In addition to Li Pu, Bledsoe, Middleton, and Thomas Jr. were on the court.

Thomas Jr. performed very well tonight. He came off the bench, played 30 minutes, scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. He was the best player on the bench for the Kings.

When the referee gave the ball to Butler, Ibaka and Cousins ​​were almost hanging on Li Pu. No matter how Li Pu ran, the two of them clung to Li Pu tightly and refused to give him a chance to catch the ball. .

"5! 4! 3..."

Seeing that the time was running out, Butler had to give up giving the ball to Li Pu, but Bledsoe and Thomas Jr. were also being pestered, so he chose to give the ball to the unmarked Middle pause.

Middleton made 5 of 0 three-pointers tonight and scored 2 points in the game. He is the only person on the court who has not scored in double figures.

If it weren't for the Kings needing a pitcher, Brown even wanted to replace Middleton with Thornton.

Middleton, who received the ball, was just about to make a shot when he saw Ibaka rushing over.

To be honest, when Li Pu and Ibaka were in the Thunder, their defenses somewhat overlapped.

Both of them are very good defensive players. Their sweeping area is so large and their speed is so fast that they can almost rank among the top two in the league. Therefore, when the two of them are on the same team, they don't have to run so hard.

And when the two belonged to different teams, the potential of the two was tapped out, and only then did the audience see how terrifying the two with full firepower are on the defensive end!
Seeing Ibaka pounce on him, Middleton received the ball back, and then chose to break through.

When a shooter chooses to drive instead of shooting, it can be said that the defender's defense has been roughly completed.

Seeing this scene, Li Pu was so angry that he was about to scold his mother, what kind of breakthrough are you playing as a pitcher?Did you forget what I told you when I co-authored the first verse?

Seeing this, Cousins ​​immediately shrank to the basket, ready to block Middleton's attacking basket.

But at this moment, he saw that Middleton was going to pass the ball back to Li Pu.

When Cousins ​​saw this, he remembered the ball that went in and out in the first quarter and was hit by Li Pu as "2+1", so he actually stopped and went to defend Li Pu.

The result of this is that Middleton is facing an empty basket.

Middleton made an easy layup with a feint!

At the same time, at the same moment as the goal is scored, the timer resets to zero and the game ends!
"I didn't disappoint you, did I?" Middleton looked very calm after scoring the goal. He stretched out two fingers to Li Pu and wrote a pen.

"Okay... good shot!" Li Pu pinched his nose and gave Middleton a thumbs up, giving him a thumbs up.

Then before Middleton wanted to say anything, he was overwhelmed by the Kings' substitutes.

In this way, relying on Middleton's layup at the last moment, the Kings beat the Thunder 90:88 in the away game and won their first victory of the season!
