NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 122: Run and Gun, Can You Outrun Us, Old Man? (25)

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

The Lakers completed their adjustments and no longer chose to attack the basket.

Nash pushed the offense forward, passed the ball to Gasol in an open position, and finally started scoring with a layup.

And the Thunder team.

Start moving forward at a rapid pace.

Westbrook threw the ball to Lin Chuan just after crossing half court.

Lin Chuan held the ball with his back to the basket, and Howard immediately rushed forward.

The force was so strong that people even thought he was the attacker.

Lin Chuan, who was not prepared, staggered and almost lost his grip on the ball.

Howard raised his hands high and leaned forward in an aggressive posture.

He really wanted to return the blocked shot to Lin Chuan!
At the very least, you have to guard against him!

The referee hesitated and didn't blow the whistle.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Weiping was surprised.

"Isn't this move a bit too big? Won't the referee blow the whistle?"

"No way, after all, this is the Lakers' home court."

Yu Jia also looked unhappy.
"It seems that we blocked these guys too hard just now. In order to regain our advantage at home, we have started to use some actions close to fouls."

"It's not close, it's just that the home referee gave the Lakers face."

Lin Chuan was also somewhat dissatisfied with Howard's actions.

Originally, I just wanted to pass the ball to my teammates.

That's how I finished the game and went home from get off work.

But Howard was a little too aggressive.

Since you're making such a big move, don't blame me for returning the favor!

Lin Chuan tensed his muscles, released the ball and pushed hard, pushing Howard, who was sticking to him, one step away.

"Fake!"

The moment Howard was pushed away by Lin Chuan, he knew he was in trouble.

This space is enough for Lin Chuan to perform!
really!

next moment!
Lin Chuan took the ball and turned around, his whole body was in a posture as if he was about to bounce up.

At the same time, Lin Chuan's left leg muscles tensed, and his whole body leaned backward. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it up, and his right knee naturally lifted up as well!

Lean back! Stand on one leg!
But Howard didn't give up!

He took a step forward and jumped up quickly, like a rocket, to prevent the backward attack!
"Shh!"

The basketball flew over Howard's fingertips!
Slipped into the net!
Howard, who was leaning forward to throw himself at Lin Chuan, couldn't stop himself and crashed into Lin Chuan, who was leaning backward.

"Boom!"

Lin Chuan was knocked to the ground by Howard.

Both men fell to the ground.

"Beep!"

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle decisively.

The sharp whistle announced that the result of this goal was 2+1!

Howard's movements were extremely large, but he failed to prevent Lin Chuan from scoring. Instead, he was forced to take a penalty!
"Hey! Lin Chuan is not injured!"

Seeing Lin Chuan being knocked to the ground, Zhang Weiping immediately became agitated.

"These stupid, rough black men! Don't they know how to hold back a bit after such violent actions?"

"He's the No. 1 center and the best defensive player! How can you defend like that? Isn't this a defensive move that focuses on getting the opponent hurt?"

Yu Jia was so angry that he slammed the table!

"Fuck..."

Feeling Howard pressing down on him, Lin Chuan couldn't help but swear.

This huge man was heavy enough to bear down on him with his impact.

He pushed Howard, who was still half on top of him, away and took a few deep breaths. Seeing Lin Chuan fall to the ground, his teammates came quickly this time and immediately surrounded the two of them.

Howard was stared at fiercely by Westbrook.

His eyes seemed to tell him that if Lin Chuan was injured, he would not be better off either!
Looking at the hands extended by Durant and Ibaka, Lin Chuan grabbed them and pulled himself up from the ground.

Then he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"That's dirty, Howard!"

"These black people in America! Each one is dirtier than the other!"

"That's it! Alliance culture!"

"The referee blew the whistle too lightly. It should have been called a flagrant foul!"

Fans on the other side of the ocean were also furious when they saw this scene on TV and stood up for Lin Chuan.

After standing up, Lin Chuan immediately stretched his body.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was not injured when he landed this time.

But it was obvious that the entire Thunder team was really angry about this.

Howard had just been warned by the referee and returned to the free throw line.

After Lin Chuan made the free throw, the Lakers still wanted to play a run-and-gun game.

Nash pushed forward and saw Kobe with his back to the basket near the free throw line. He could move into the paint or make a fadeaway jump shot at any time.

He tensed the muscles in his arms, and using all his strength, he delivered a spinning blow to the ground.

The ball hit the wooden floor, then spun and accelerated toward Kobe.

Just before Kobe was about to catch the ball, another arm blocked the ball's path!
It's Lin Chuan!
He rushed out directly from the inside and used his long arms span to intercept the ball in the air!

"Let me show you what a fast break is!"

Lin Chuan roared, and pulled the basketball back with his hand that had stolen the ball.

Then, his muscles bulged and all his strength burst out, hurling it to the front court like a grenade.

The ball flew out in a straight line in the air.

but.

The ball is fast, but people are faster than the ball.

The moment Lin Chuan made the move, Westbrook had already started simultaneously.

"Zizi..."

The basketball shoes on Westbrook's feet suddenly deformed.

He stepped on the ground, making a sharp friction sound.

Westbrook rushed out like a gust of wind.

He rushed to the side before the basketball hit the ground.

Grab the basketball and take two consecutive steps from the three-point line to one step inside the free throw line.

"Oh!"

Westbrook leaped directly into the air, his arm drew a full circle in the air, and a 360-degree dunk near the free throw line ended the round!
"Boom!!!"

The basket was pulled by Westbrook, making an unpleasant squeaking sound. Westbrook was hanging on the basket. He roared angrily and then jumped down.

After landing, he was undisputedly given a technical foul by the referee.

But, whatever.

He is Westbrook!

He doesn't care!
"He can draw a bow like a full moon! Westbrook's dunk is so satisfying!"

Zhang Weiping almost jumped up from his chair, his face flushed.

"A 360-degree dunk from such a long distance. Westbrook's dunking ability is one of the best in history!"

"I didn't expect that the Lakers wanted to play a head-on attack, but when it came to fast breaks, their speed was totally no match for the young Thunder team!"

"Yeah! If it was the Lakers, even if the ball was thrown to the front court, it would inevitably turn into a positional battle!"

Seeing Westbrook perform such a powerful dunk, even his teammate Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel exaggerated.

When will it be his turn to dunk like this!
Looking at Nash who gave up on defense halfway through the chase, Lin Chuan walked over and said in a calm voice just loud enough for people to hear,
"Run and gun, can you outrun us, old man?"

Old man? !
Nash was struck by lightning!

He will only be 40 next month, does that make him an old man?!
