The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 355: : Gemini's attitude

The situation of the game was very clear from the beginning. The Thunder have a stronger desire to attack. They need to win this game and also need to prove themselves. The Pacers are playing very steadily, they need to stabilize the situation, they need to win in stability.

So, as soon as the game started, people saw Russell Westbrook, the guard who was about to "find the Pacers when the sun went down", as if carrying a bag of explosives, smashed into the inside of the Pacers. On Horford, who was a step slower, he scored with a single-handed cut!

"Ohhhhhhh! As soon as the game started, Russell pushed the game to a climax! With an explosive dunk, Westbrook completed a surprise attack!"

This dunk made Kenny Smith on the commentary stage a direct climax from the first round of the game. He got goosebumps, and Westbrook's dunk burst like a rocket.

As we all know, the Pacers' defense is very tight. Westbrook can launch a surprise attack the moment Perkins gets the basketball, knowing how fast this guy is. And the inertia generated by such a fast speed makes the subsequent dunk full of power!

"What am I talking about? Tiredness will never become a stumbling block for the Thunder. Have you seen Westbrook's vitality? This is like a player who was still fighting the Spurs 24 hours ago!"

Sure enough, the Thunder were very excited. The particularity of this game makes Westbrook not allow himself to make mistakes. After the dunk landed, he and Durant close high-five. The two brothers are bound to have a big fight today in this place that once made them sad!

Not only offense, but the Thunder's defense is also doing well.

Active and tough confrontation, decisive change of defense and just right defense... The Thunder did not appear to be unable to move forward. Their defense was better than last summer.

After passing it for a while without getting a gap, Paul passed the ball to David West, who had just returned from injury and started directly. When the Pacers can't open the situation, David West's post-up singles are usually the best choice to break the deadlock.

But today, Ibaka's defense is inseparable. He fought hard and made West lose his rhythm, who had not played a formal game for a month. Not everything will go as smoothly as imagined. West missed his first shot, Perkins took off the rebound and immediately handed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook did not hesitate, started to accelerate, and quickly countered! It seems that Scott Brooks intends to treat him in his own way.

Fortunately, Chris Paul's "speed of light reaction" immediately blocked Westbrook's path, and this did not allow the wild No. 0 guard to rush into the penalty area again to dunk. Westbrook stopped, but the Thunder's counterattack did not stop.

If you change to the past, Westbrook will definitely squeeze inside. But today, the head of the No. 0 guard is not hot anymore. After being forced to stop by Paul, Westbrook raised his hand and passed the ball to Durant, who was inserted from the side.

Although Danny Green tried very hard to chase and defend, Durant's step was a two-step span for others, and he couldn't catch up with hard work. Durant shook off half of Green, which was a fatal distance.

At this distance, with Green's athletic ability, he couldn't finish the chase. If you forcibly pounce, the good result is a foul, and the bad result is a 2+1 chance for Durant. Therefore, Green could only helplessly watch Durant take a light leap and straighten his long arms to complete the dunk.

"Positiveness and energy, I saw these two things in the Thunder players. They have a strong desire to win and a strong desire to score. Most importantly, they did not show the slightest fatigue." Barkley finished. , Glanced at Henson.

I saw Henson shook his head slightly, looking very helpless.

In fact, Henson was thinking. He will have Antetokounmpo next season, and he will play that way too!

"Pop!" Durant dunked to the ground and made another high five with Westbrook. They fought side by side to top the Spurs and witnessed the sunrise in Indianapolis together. They have traveled so much together, but they are not here to be the background board for 72 wins!

"Impossible." Stevens widened his eyes. How can a team that just finished back-to-back games be so energetic.

Henson was not surprised, if the Pacers were replaced by such a situation, they would also be full of vitality.

"Today, the Thunder are wearing a dark blue retro jersey. Oklahoma fans all joked that the Thunder won't be able to play as soon as they wear a retro jersey. Because the Thunder have worn six retro jerseys this season, but lost. I lost 5 of them! But today, the curse of the retro jersey doesn't seem to work in the Banker’s Life Arena."

While talking, the Pacers' second offense ended in failure. Paul George took advantage of Horford's screen and was ready to shoot, but Perkins was very active. Henson originally hoped to catch the big fuss that Perkins couldn't prevent, but he didn't know that Perkins's attack was so decisive today.

If the ball is replaced by James Harden's shot, Perkins will probably have a foul. It's just a pity that Paul George has no talent in this area.

The Pacers missed an offense for the second time in a row! It seems that the Thunder have not recovered from yesterday's battle with the Spurs. They are still immersed in the state of mental tension and brought this state to Indianapolis. So today the game just started, they directly entered the highest alert level.

So, sometimes having more rest than others is not necessarily an advantage. When you are still slowly accumulating the feeling of the game, others are already full of firepower.

Westbrook personally picked off the defensive rebound. Paul was very clever and suddenly stood in front of Westbrook, who was ready to accelerate, and was about to be hit by him with the ball. Paul tried this trick repeatedly, just like Porcelain, the opponent was caught off guard.

However, Westbrook's reaction speed surprised Paul again. Almost the moment he saw Paul coming across, Westbrook used a beautiful backside dribble to avoid Paul and flashed past Paul!

The most important thing is that Westbrook's speed immediately rises after a bad luck, as if there is no need for any acceleration at all!

Paul's cleverness failed to play, but Westbrook was thrown away. He tried his best to catch up, Horford is also ready to cover the basket.

However, Westbrook suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, leaped high, and shot!

"Chasing three pointers, Westbrook's shooting choice is still so bold!"

Everyone knows that Westbrook is bold, but whether this boldness kills the opponent or the Thunder is unclear.

Westbrook's shooting posture is very "hard". Although he jumps very high, he looks uncomfortable. Although Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage this season is a career high 32.3%, but it is still not stable enough.

Seeing that Westbrook made a three-pointer so impatiently, Henson thought his chance was here! As everyone knows, after that basketball traversed a perfect arc in the air, it blew up a piece of "white waves" below the basket!

Go in!

At that moment, Henson's heart almost stopped beating. Not only him, at that moment, even the boos in the stands seemed to have stopped

"Three! Westbrook's shooting is very simple! 7-0, Coach Henson called to stop the game, it can be seen that Durant and Westbrook are in excellent form today, and the Oklahoma City Thunder is aiming to stop the walk. The team finished 72 wins!" Kenny Smith almost got up from his seat without excitement, after all, he didn't expect the Thunder to play so well at the beginning. His low expectations have surprised him now.

And Barkley beside him just smiled, the beast that was forced into desperation was the most terrifying. The performance of the Thunder really met his expectations.

"Finishit! Finishit!" Westbrook yelled at the Pacers fans in the stands while pointing to the floor of the Bankers Life Arena. He is here today to end greatness!

The 7-0 offensive that Westbrook and Durant played together undoubtedly expressed their attitude today. After sunrise that early morning, the two had already made up their minds.

They will never become a stepping stone to the Pacers' success.
