NBA: Starting with James Harden

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Zhen rested off the court, but Brooks did not let Durant and Westbrook rest. He sent a combination of Westbrook, Durant, Sefolosha, Jeff Green and Ibaka.

After the start of the final quarter, Durant and Westbrook were in very good condition today. The two teamed up to play a wave of 10 to 2 to stop the Mavericks.

The Mavericks only relied on Terry's mid-range to score two points.

Without Li Zhen, it was difficult for the Mavericks' second lineup to break the Thunder's defense.

This is not because the Mavericks' second lineup is not strong enough, but that they have been relying on Li Zhen almost all game. Without Li Zhen, they suddenly became less able to play.

At least Carlisle feels that way.

Terry is the player with the best chance to compete for the best sixth man this season, but after Li Zhen appeared, his tactical position dropped sharply, and his discomfort with the second lineup also increased, which made Terry's power much smaller.

What's more, the Thunder's starting lineup is really strong in ability and talent, and the Mavericks' second lineup is not as good as them.

Terry was a bit difficult to deal with, and Carlisle did not hesitate. After the timeout, he replaced Barea and replaced him with Li Zhen. As soon as

Li Zhen came on the court, the Thunder immediately became alert.

From their positions, it can be seen that the Thunder has arranged many tactics against Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's reading ability can naturally see that he is being targeted by the Thunder in all directions, but Li Zhen is not worried, and his teammates are not vegetarians either.

Li Zhen did not go to receive the ball, but Kidd controlled the rhythm.

Although Kidd did not look at Li Zhen, Li Zhen knew very well that as long as he had the opportunity, Kidd could pass the ball to him.

This is the benefit of working with a top point guard. You never have to worry about whether he can pass the ball. All you need to do is concentrate on running.

Li Zhen's running position constantly pulled the Thunder's defense.

Kidd also kept passing the ball. He passed the ball to Marion at the top of the arc.

Marion passed the ball to Terry again. Terry felt a completely different defensive pressure from before. After receiving the ball, he immediately made a fake shake and directly set off Westbrook. Then he retreated to the mid-range shot and easily received two points.

105 to 114

"Fuck!" Durant was a little depressed.

Li Zhen didn't even catch the ball, he just manipulated the Thunder's defense, and the Thunder couldn't focus too much on other people's defense, which led to the Mavericks' defense being easily broken!

"Li Zhen played very smartly. Although he didn't catch the ball, he used his deterrence to help his teammates relieve pressure, and the Thunder's defense was in a dilemma."Smith said

"Defense!!"

"Defense!!"

"Defense!!"

When Westbrook dribbled through the front court, the crowd started to cheer.

DJ's rhythm led the fans to cheer.

This is the home advantage.

Every time they attack, the away players have to play under great pressure.

Such shouts are also very inspiring for the home team players. Every player will involuntarily raise their spirits to defend when they hear the fans shouting like this.

Li Zhen also opened his arms and rushed towards Westbrook.

The Thunder had no one to support Westbrook, so Westbrook directly had a physical confrontation with Li Zhen.

""Bang!"

Muscles collided, and there were continuous muffled sounds.

Li Zhen patted his chest. It was the first time he met a guard with similar strength to him.

Li Zhen had the advantage in weight, and Westbrook was also a little grinning.

Li Zhen's long arm swing was very oppressive, and Westbrook did not dare to be careless. He was almost intercepted by Li Zhen just now.

Westbrook gritted his teeth and turned around continuously, barely crossing the half court before the eight seconds were up.

But crossing the half court does not mean success.

The Thunder's offense encountered strong defense.

Not only was Li Zhen's defense strong, but other points also had great pressure to receive the ball. As soon as

Li Zhen came on the court, the Mavericks players had a backbone, and they played very hard on both offense and defense.

Westbrook hurriedly passed the ball to Durant. Durant received the ball and tried to step forward continuously, but he still couldn't shake off Marion. He couldn't push Marion away. , the position Westbrook gave him to receive the ball was a bit bad.

Durant saw Jeff Green shake off Haywood and run towards the baseline, and Durant immediately passed the ball.

Everything seemed to be natural. If Jeff Green could catch this ball, then this would be an absolute open position.

But at this moment, a figure appeared on Durant's passing route and directly confiscated the ball!!

Who is it?

Li Zhen!

Durant's passing is really his weakness, his passing is too slow.

Li Zhen's counterattack started.

Westbrook immediately chased Li Zhen, but Li Zhen was sprinting straight ahead, and Westbrook turned around and chased back. Westbrook's speed could not keep up with Li Zhen!

No Thunder player could keep up with Li Zhen's explosive power.

Westbrook could only watch Li Zhen complete a slam dunk one step in front of the three-second zone!!

105 to 116

"plum、、、、"Zhen" Li Zhen's score made DJ shout his name.

The Mavericks DJ was very familiar with Li Zhen's Chinese name, and he could pronounce these two characters in standard Mandarin.

It was Li Zhen again, and Li Zhen came up to stop the decline.

I don't know how many times, every time the Thunder seemed to have the momentum to catch up, but they were stopped by Li Zhen after he came up!!

This guy is really despairing!!.......

130 to 141.

With the referee's whistle, the game ended and Durant looked at the score unwillingly!!

After Li Zhen came up, he didn't give the Thunder any chance at all.

Since the Thunder was pulled away by 11 points, the difference between the two teams has never been in single digits!!!

"Congratulations to the Mavericks for stopping their four-game losing streak. Congratulations to Li Zhen, who scored 57 points, 17 assists, 13 rebounds and 5 steals. This is another big triple-double. Li Zhen's outstanding performance helped the Mavericks score the highest team score of the season! Of course, Li Zhen also broke his personal career high, which is a shocking statistic!!"Kenny Smith shouted madly........

In a hotel in Dallas, many fans wearing blue T-shirts celebrated wildly after the game.

"so cool!"

"Another 50+ triple-double, he is the future of Dallas!"

"I fell in love with him. He is the one God sent to save Dallas!"

This is a basketball-themed bar. Fans here come to drink while watching the game.

Li Zhen's data on the big screen pushed them to a climax........

In the Airline Center.

After the game, Li Zhen went over to hug Durant, Westbrook, and Harden one by one.

Li Zhen said to Durant:"Sorry, I don't have Scarlett's phone number. I'll give it to you next time."

Durant said angrily:"I won't believe your nonsense again."

Li Zhen smiled.

Li Zhen whispered to Westbrook:"Russell, really, I support you to take the position. KD is not suitable to be the boss."

Westbrook didn't reply, but just looked at Li Zhen meaningfully."....."

Li Zhen did not forget to alienate the two of them even after the game was over.
