new lord of the rings

Chapter 498 First Victory!

Hield is fast and physically strong. He is the most suitable person to defend Westbrook in the Suns lineup. Of course, it is better to defend Zhang Xin, but Zhang Xin wants to defend Durant. , So Hilde still has to defend. If Westbrook is mainly organized, Hilde is more than enough to defend, but when he is desperate, Hilde is still difficult to defend.

Westbrook kicked his legs and ran like a wild horse towards the basket. Hilde was pressed by Westbrook to grab the position. Hilde couldn't keep up and let Westbrook rush over!

Westbrook forced a breakthrough and was overjoyed. Seeing that only Olynyk was left to protect the frame, Kuzma had been pulled out. Westbrook jumped into the air with three steps, and Olynyk quickly took off to block the shot , Westbrook dodged in the air, and after dodging Olynyk, a lever was ready to wipe the board. Durant shouted anxiously behind him: Be careful!

Westbrook hadn't had time to react, or it could be said that there was no room for straining at all. Westbrook felt a huge oppression behind him, except for a loud muffled sound from the basketball in his hand, and then it hit the backboard There was a roar!
There was an overwhelming cheer from the arena!
Westbrook staggered to the ground and looked back in dismay at who had blocked his shot. He already had an idea in his mind, but wanted to make sure. Looking back, Zhang Xin had just landed from the air with a basketball in his hand. Sbruck's face turned pale: This is not just a nail-biting risk, but also a cap grab!
When Brogdon saw Zhang Xin's block, he sprinted towards his own field immediately. Sure enough, Zhang Xin's pass was shot like a cannonball later. Brogdon dunked the ball as soon as he caught the ball!

A series of actions are like lightning, from Westbrook breaking through Hilde, to dodging Olynyk's puller, to making a shot by Zhang Xin to block, to Zhang Xin's pass, to Brogdon's dunk, but in just seven or eight seconds time!
The Suns overtook the score!
Now the Suns are leading the score, and the Thunder are behind by 1 point!

Coach Donovan called a timeout again. Westbrook is obviously on his mind. It doesn't matter if other players layup, but Westbrook is a point guard. If he is still so reckless, the ball will be ruined. Well, he had to use up his last precious timeout and make some adjustments!
The big screen at the top of the arena played the highlights just now, which was the picture of an envelope being covered and then a long pass. Westbrook could see clearly that when he broke through Hield, Zhang Xin had already let go of Durant and moved directly Get ready to block yourself to the basket!
Terrifying ability to predict, terrifying ability to figure out people's hearts!

Coach Donovan arranged tactics urgently, and Suns coach Earl Watson was not idle. Taking advantage of this time to arrange defense, the offense naturally had Zhang Xin adapting to the situation on the field. The most important thing now is to limit the Thunder's scoring. There is less than 1 minute left, and the remaining 1 minute determines the whole effort, and no one will take it lightly.

Pause back.

The Thunder served from the center line, Westbrook caught the ball around the screen, Durant received the ball from Westbrook at the top of the arc, and then dribbled the ball thinking about Westbrook's direction, Westbrook came up to block Zhang Xin, Durant Rand passed by, and Hilde quickly switched defenses.

Durant observed that Zhang Xin had been taken away by Westbrook, so he turned his back to Hilde, carried it step by step and hit it inside, and then turned over and hit a mid-range jumper!

Durant's move is simply impossible to be defended. If he can't use aggressive defense to force Durant from the beginning, after he takes off, he has only two choices, either foul or let Durant calmly Shooting, Durant's shooting in this position is too stable, and it is too difficult to prevent him from making shots.

The Thunder passed Durant's mid-range shot and overtook the point difference. Coach Donovan squeezed his sweaty palms, which were sticky.

Zhang Xin received the ball, and there were still 26 seconds left. Zhang Xin was not busy attacking anymore. He dribbled the ball across the frontcourt slowly, and then stayed at the logo to wait for the time to pass. Zhang Xin did not move until only 10 minutes left After getting up, Olynik raised his hand to help Zhang Xin block Durant.

The pick-and-roll was too high, and Adams was very embarrassed, because he didn't dare to go up, but he didn't dare to go off. He was afraid of being passed by if he went up, and he was afraid of Zhang Xin's shot if he didn't go up. He waited for Zhang Xin at the three-point line with his long legs. Xin, he didn't believe that Zhang Xin dared to make a super long three-pointer when he was behind. The letter is two meters away from the three-point line, just pull it up and shoot!
"It's a shot! Zhang Xin made a shot. He shot directly two meters away from the three-point line. Zhang Xin's choice is unbelievable! The best choice for this kind of ball is to go to the basket for a layup Or draw a foul directly, but Zhang Xin didn't, he just wanted three points, and he didn't want to hand over the key to victory or defeat in the opponent's hands.

You must know that the Thunder are leading by 1 point now. If the Suns only get 5 points, then the Thunder will have too many choices, either a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, but if the Suns get a three-pointer this time, the Thunder can only play a three-pointer!Artists are bold! ……Wow! ! !Go in, hit a super long three-pointer!Only [-] seconds left! "

After Wang Meng got off the phone, he didn't even stutter, and a series of words spewed out, like machine gun fire, very fast and full of passion!
The Thunder did not pause. Durant received the ball from the baseline and was about to pass halftime quickly, but Zhang Xin stopped Durant. Zhang Xin followed Durant closely, staring at Durant intently. Behind Adams thought Wanting to come over to help Durant pick and roll, Zhang Xin dodges and stays in front of Durant.

Durant wanted to speed up, but Zhang Xin was standing in front of him. It was a good way to force his way through. Durant made up his mind and rushed to the side of Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin didn't dare to stop him. Called a foul.

So Zhang Xin let Durant go, followed quickly, and let Durant pass the frontcourt. In this way, Durant had only two seconds left. As soon as Durant passed the logo, he jumped up and shot, and Zhang Xin followed suit. Jumping high to interfere.

The block is impossible to block, but the interference can still be done. Durant shot the basketball in his hand, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game. Everyone was staring at whether the three-pointer could be hit. It's a pity , Zhang Xin's interference was in place, the ball didn't even touch the frame, but this is normal, the lore ball is talked about by the fans because it is rare, most of the time the key ball is difficult to hit.

The Suns defeated the Thunder by two points and won the first game of the second round of the series!
