The King of the NBA

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

Players from both sides returned to the field. On the Timberwolves side were Pekovic, Love, Brewer, Martin, and Barea; on the Thunder side were Adams, Ibaka, Durant, and Sauv Lothar, Fisher.

As soon as he came up, Durant turned on the scoring mode.

I saw him take the ball from the outside, facing Brewer's defense, crossed consecutively, and then suddenly pulled up and shot directly outside the three-point line. Brewer struggled to jump up, but he could only reach out to cover Durant's eyes , interfere as much as possible.

However, the ball was still scored.

With a "swish", he hit a three-pointer and widened the point difference to 4 points.

In the auditorium, the Thunder fans cheered up and shouted "KD" loudly, cheering for Durant. As soon as he came up, he stabilized the situation for the Thunder, and his scoring champion's strength was undoubtedly highlighted.

On the Timberwolves side, everyone looked at each other and exchanged glances: "Durant must be double-teamed!"

The Timberwolves launched a counterattack. After reaching the frontcourt, the ball was passed several times and it was passed to Love. Love took the ball for a single play, turned his back to Ibaka, and suddenly turned around. To the basket, a little tapped. After all, Adams is a rookie, inexperienced, and was tricked into jumping.

The next moment, Love jumped up, leaned on Adams, and threw the ball.

whistle.

Go in.

It's a beautiful three-point shot.

Adams had no choice but to watch Love go to the free throw line and make an extra free throw. The point difference was still only 1 point.

But soon the Thunder returned the favor. It was still Durant, still a three-pointer, but this time it was in the right corner. position, receiving a pass from a teammate is a three-point shot, and the basketball draws a wonderful arc and falls steadily into the basket.

"KD"

People are excited, excited.

Two consecutive three-pointers, like a magic needle for the sea, even if the Timberwolves side Love hit a 2+1, the Thunder still maintained the lead and expanded the point difference to 4 points.

"This strength really makes people speechless."

"Yeah, this kind of scoring ability makes people feel helpless."

Some Timberwolves fans sighed and felt very depressed. The opponent is too strong, and the scoring ability can be called incomprehensible. People can't see hope, only loss.

In fact, this is indeed the case. With Durant's super performance, the Timberwolves have fallen into a disadvantage. After all, it is impossible to always have 2+1.

After a few rounds, the Timberwolves have fallen behind by 6 points.

On the sidelines, Adelman frowned, replaced Pekovic, replaced Dion, then replaced Barea, replaced Rubio.

On the side of the Thunder, Coach Brooks also made a substitution, replacing Fisher with Westbrook, sending both core players. Undoubtedly, he wanted to use all his strength to further expand the point difference and firmly occupy the advantage.

After this substitution, the Timberwolves scored one.

But when he turned around, Durant suddenly scored and passed it to Westbrook. Westbrook took the ball and it was a breakthrough. The speed was amazing, and he rushed into the inside line in an instant, and jumped up to face Dion. Knocked Dion away, then made a layup, the ball hit the net, and the two points were valid.

"Huh?" Adelman frowned. This situation is not very good. The Thunder team's two core players are in full strength. If they are allowed to open up, it will be troublesome.

At the moment, Adelman rushed to the field and gestured, indicating that the Timberwolves players were optimistic about Durant and Westbrook, and tried to limit them.

The Timberwolves are also trying their best to limit Durant and Westbrook, but the effect is not good. Westbrook and Durant are in very good condition today, and they also brought the rest of the Thunder together. Whenever the Timberwolves double-team, they distribute the ball, and their teammates can always score the ball.

In this way, the situation is even more unfavorable for the Timberwolves.

After a period of time, the Thunder played a lot of flowers, forcing the Timberwolves to change their strategy, and they couldn't blindly double-team Durant and Westbrook, otherwise they would definitely miss out.

But in this way, Durant and Westbrook opened again.

"Whoosh!"

Westbrook passed to Sefolosha, who flicked his wrist and passed to the inside with a hit. At the same time, Durant hit from the bottom line on the right side, and it took three big steps to catch the ball. He was tall and long, and he had no way to defend after jumping up. He could only watch him abuse the frame with both hands and dunk successfully. .

Only a few tens of seconds passed, Westbrook missed a three-pointer, but he was too fast, he rushed to the inside in the blink of an eye, took the rebound from a group of insiders, and then lingered in the air and lightly tossed it .

Swish!

Go in again.

At this time, the Timberwolves had fallen behind by 11 points, and the situation was very bad. The Thunder team was completely on the move. Durant and Westbrook were almost unstoppable, and the state was bursting.

This wave of double stars shone down, and the Timberwolves fell into an absolute disadvantage.

"Doo" Adelman called a timeout. Although there was only a little more than one minute left in this section, he must call a timeout.

More than ten and less than ten, these are two concepts.

When the players came down, Adelman said directly: "Wait for Brewer to step down, and Ning to go up. Martin, you and Ning switch defenses, you go to defend Durant, let Ning defend Sefoloza." Man looked at Rubio and sighed in his heart. He couldn't defend the opponent at the two points of position 1 and 3. Martin and Ning Yi switched defenses. What about Rubio?

No way, the situation is like this.

"I repeat." Adelman said again: "Defense, this is the key."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Not far away, with a smile on his face, Coach Brooks praised his players, then looked solemn, and said: "There is one minute left, and my request is to end this quarter. We must lead by more than 10 points."

All Thunder players nodded in unison. Coach Brooks' request is not too much. They are already leading by 11 points, as long as they hold on.

Of course, it would be even better if the points difference could be further widened.

When the coaches of both sides arranged their tactics, the whistle sounded just in time.

Back on the court, the Timberwolves attacked, Rubio advanced to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Martin, and then started to move, Ning Yi and Dion made a pick and roll, and Love pulled to the outside.

After some running, Martin scored the ball and gave it to Ning Yi. Ning Yi took the ball and clicked it, then moved to the top of the arc, and after two steps, passed it to Dieng, who then passed it to Love.

At this time, the people in front of Love had already been pulled away. He stood outside the three-point line in the left corner, glanced a little, and made a decisive three-point shot.
