The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 59
Li Pu's free throw still needs to be seen?

It must be... another... "2+0"!
"boom!"

Although the free throw was missed and the rebound was accepted by Garnett, the Thunder still took the lead in breaking the deadlock and took the lead.

However, Li Pu's scoring seemed to not only wake up the Thunder.

In the next Celtics offense, Garnett faced Ibaka with a big jumper that turned around and helped the Celtics win the first blood tonight.

Afterwards, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was still not high. No matter which team it was, it was very difficult to score.

Throughout the first quarter, the two teams kept clenching the score, and no one wanted to let it go.

Against Sefolosha's defense, Pierce hit an elegant mid-range jumper, and finally tied the score at 5 with 13 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

That's right, in this quarter, the combined score of the two teams is not as much as a team in the later generations scored in a single quarter.

The Thunder served from the baseline, but the Celtics had been prepared and immediately pressed the audience to prevent the serve from the baseline.

Seeing the time passing by, Collison couldn't send the ball, and everyone in the Thunder team was very anxious.

At this moment, Collison suddenly saw a tall figure running towards the opponent's half with his hands raised.

Collison suddenly understood, a long pass from the quarterback, and the ball was thrown into the Celtics half court.

The high arc of the ball also means that it flies in the air for a long time, giving the Celtics' defensive players enough time to adjust.

Li Pu, who was running forward, suddenly found himself on the left and right, Kevin Garnett, Garnett Robinson, when did this come?

However, it was too late for him to think too much, the basketball was about to fly over his head!
Therefore, Li Pu jumped high, and he jumped so high that no matter whether it was Garnett, who was said to put coins on the edge of the backboard, or Nate Robinson, the three-time dunk champion thought.

Just like that, the basketball landed on Li Pu's right hand, and he finally caught the ball.

However, the key to this pass is not whether Li Pu can catch the ball, but what to do after receiving the ball?
No, as soon as Li Pu landed, Garnett and Robinson double-teamed over. One cut the middle lane and the other cut the bottom lane. It was extremely insidious, and Li Pu's ball would be taken away if he was not careful. .

Not only that, but the moment Li Pu touched the ball, time had already started to pass.

"5 seconds, 4 seconds..."

There is not much time left for Li Pu!

Li Pu knew this very well, but he couldn't dribble at all. He dared to bet that as long as he put down the ball and dribbled it, he would definitely be intercepted by the two of them!
At this most critical moment, Li Pu looked at the backboard not far away and suddenly had an idea.

"3 seconds, 2 seconds..."

He slammed the ball hard at the backboard, and then he took a step forward and ran away from the two of them in one step.

"1 seconds..."

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced back. Li Pu jumped high, caught the ball in the air, and then dunked hard into the hoop.

With a beautiful self-throw and self-dunk, Li Pu successfully dunked a buzzer-beater at the end of the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, both teams scored ultra-low scores. At 15:13, the Thunder led the Celtics by 2 points and entered the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Pu was not on the court.

He played the entire first quarter, no matter how good his physical strength was, Brooks couldn't keep him so big. After all, Li Pu also paid a lot for the matchup with O'Neal.

Li Pu, who was sitting on the bench, was still shaking slightly.

Just as Brooks imagined, in the confrontation with O'Neal, Garnett and others, Li Pu's physical strength was lost very quickly, and many parts were painful.

I am still too thin, I have to continue to gain weight!

The scores of the two teams in the second quarter were still very anxious, but fortunately, the offense returned to normal.

The Thunder maintained a one-goal lead until Rondo made a sudden steal and successfully blocked Westbrook's pass to Ibaka, and drove the ball into the penalty area. A signature fake fax layup successfully chased Tied the score.

To be honest, Westbrook didn't play really well tonight, shooting hard and passing the ball, but the team really can't do without him, because he is like the spirit of this Thunder team, as long as he is on the court, the ball The team has no lack of fighting spirit.

After Rondo scored a tying goal, Westbrook seemed to be unaffected. He drove the ball into the penalty area again, and under the back and forth attack of Garnett and Rondo, he successfully caused a foul and went to the free throw. Wire.

The impact of Westbrook in his youth was too strong. You knew he was going to break through, but you just couldn't prevent it.

Westbrook, who walked to the free throw line, felt much better than his shooting.

Not surprisingly, two free throws were made, and the Thunder continued to lead by 2 points.

In this way, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war again, but overall, compared to Westbrook's single-handed struggle, the Celtics' full team performance made the score distribution more comprehensive.

In this way, the Thunder will have to fall behind.

When Li Pu came back, the point difference had come to 4 points.

The first offensive round after returning was the pick-and-roll between Westbrook and Li Pu.

The pick-and-roll between Westbrook and Lip is far more threatening than the pick-and-roll with Krstic. For no other reason, Lip has the impact that Krstic does not have.

After being attracted by Westbrook's defensive attention, Li Pu took the opportunity to go down. After receiving a point from Westbrook, Li Pu did not choose to dunk this time, but a pull-up layup.

"Okay... what the hell!" Seeing Li Pu's actions, Westbrook abruptly held back his applause.

Because this guy missed a layup!
"This idiot!" Westbrook wanted to tear Li Pu apart at this moment, creating such a good opportunity for himself, and you just missed it.

However, after failing to make progress, Li Pu has a frontcourt board!

Standing under the basket, Li Pu easily got the offensive rebound without even jumping.

That's right, he is really taking it!
A big hand took the ball in his hand, jumped lightly, and dunked the ball into the basket.

The whole process happened so fast that the Celtics inside didn't even have time to come back.

It was a good thing to score a goal, but Westbrook couldn't be happy after seeing this scene.

You can't make a shot if you pass the ball with me?
I really don't know why you should do something that you are not good at!

Wait, that's not right!

Westbrook immediately thought: This guy grabbed an offensive rebound and scored 2 points in this offensive round, and his original assist was gone!
Thinking of this, when Westbrook returned to the defense, he deliberately gave Li Pu a vicious look.

Seeing the look in Westbrook's eyes, Li Pu thought he was blaming him for the pull-up layup just now, so he smiled back to express his apology.

How did he know that Westbrook, who is sensitive to data, has already seen through his "sinister intentions"!
