The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 287 The Counterattack Begins

"Reversal of the Future will be released next week, shall we go together?"

"Why don't you go with your girlfriend?"

"Do you understand? See how the X-Men can go with their girlfriends? Then it must be good to go with brothers! Prince, are you going?"

When Covington talked about the X-Men, he was spitting, as if talking about his beliefs, and Giannis on the opposite side calmly wiped his face again and again.

Seeing Covington's serious appearance, Li Pu quickly shook his head and said, "Look at the current schedule!"

"Don't worry, it's just a movie, it won't take long!"

Covington wanted to persuade him again, but he heard the sound of pushing the door. Looking back, it was their head coach Brown.

Coach Brown pushed open the door of the locker room, but saw joy in the locker room, without any sense of tension in the battle.

Regarding this scene, although Coach Brown didn't say anything, he was very relieved in his heart, because they finally looked like experienced veteran players.

"I didn't play well in the first half, and I think you should know that, so I hope you can cheer up in the second half. It has been 12 years since the Kings last entered the Western Conference Finals. 12 years is a long enough time." , I hope he doesn't get any longer!"

"Yeah sir!"

The 15-minute intermission passed in a flash, and the second half began.

Because the jump ball was lost, as soon as the second half came up, the Thunder had the ball first, and Westbrook took the ball to the frontcourt.

Westbrook performed very well in the first half, scoring 15 points, 4 assists and 4 steals, the same score as Durant.

Especially the 4 steals, almost all formed fast breaks and scored.

One of the goals was even stolen from Li Pu!
After coming to the front court, Westbrook observed the situation on the court, and then stretched out 2 fingers.

In the past, this gesture represented an off-ball pick-and-roll, but now I think it should have been replaced.

Sure enough, Ibaka raised it and turned into a pick-and-roll at position one and four.

After the start of the second half, the Kings did not continue the starting lineup at the beginning, but sent Giannis up.

Giannis's lateral speed is not comparable to Patterson's. After the pick-and-roll, he can keep up with Westbrook's speed.

Looking at Giannis in front of him, Westbrook's competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

The reason why Westbrook behaved like a gas tank, which exploded at one point, was mainly because Li Pu once told him.

"Russell, I found your brother!"

"what?"

"My teammate, Giannis, look, there is a second sewer brother!"

"roll!"

What level is it worthy of being called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with me?
Looking at the thin and thin Giannis in front of him, Westbrook didn't like him at all, so he rushed at him directly!
I died laughing, God knows that when Li Pu called him Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the two fought quite a lot, but now it's better, and they are still fighting!
How good is this nickname?
Although Giannis doesn't know why Westbrook doesn't seem to like him, he doesn't bother to care about it. What he has to do now is to keep up with Westbrook and prevent him from laying up.

Giannis really deserves the title of "Greek Monster". His physical fitness is really good. He is [-] meters tall, and his footsteps really keep up with Westbrook. He really deserves to be the authentic heir of "Shadowless Feet"!

Although Westbrook found that he couldn't get rid of Giannis, he had already come to the basket, so he naturally chose to force it.

How about Westbrook's head iron?

This is also Westbrook's weakness in playing. He only knows how to speed up, but doesn't know how to slow down. When he sees the basket, he goes up recklessly!

I'm afraid this guy was from Mang Village in his previous life, right?

Although relying on his strong core strength, Westbrook escaped Giannis' block, but unfortunately under the interference of Giannis, the goal was missed.

Li Pu had already sneaked over from one side, easily received the rebound, and then made a long pass from the quarterback, finding Butler who had already come to the frontcourt.

After Butler received the ball, he rushed to the front court quickly. Under the double attack of Sefolosha and Durant, he split the ball to Middleton on one side, who made a three-pointer!
At 45:49, the point difference returned to within 5 points.

Then Durant hit the iron with a three-pointer, Lip received the rebound again, and this time he gave the ball to Bledsoe.

Bledsoe rushed all the way up the court and made a layup.

At 47:49, the point difference was only 2 points away.

Though looking back, Westbrook drew Giannis' third foul and made two free throws to put the score back at 47:51.

But at this time, the morale of the Kings has already risen. How can it be so easy for the Thunder to press?
Li Pu received the ball from the weak side and hit one. Facing Ibaka, he directly chose a dry pull and made a mid-range shot.

49: 51.

Later, when it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Durant was intercepted by Butler again when he broke through, and he dunked in a fast break!

51:51, just like that, the difference was completely wiped out!

At this time, the counterattack storm that the Kings were still brewing had already formed, and tying the score was only the beginning.

Although the Thunder followed up with a three-pointer from Sefolosha, the lead was re-established.

But Li Pu quickly caught up again with a three-pointer.

The strong oppression made the Thunder panic, and even made another mistake.

When Durant made a one-on-one breakthrough with Butler on the weak side, he stepped on the line and went out of bounds!

This is very fatal for a superstar!
It can be said that in these few rounds, Durant was suppressed by Butler.

It's the king's turn to attack again.

Bledsoe brought the ball to the frontcourt and first handed the ball to Butler.

After Butler got the ball, the rest of the Kings, including Lip, moved to the other side of the court, creating space for Butler to play.

In other words, Butler is amazing. In the regular season, he didn't behave like a team's second-in-command at all. His offense was unsure, but his defense was remarkable. He was almost reduced to a blue-collar perimeter player up.

But in the playoffs, especially in this round against the Thunder, his performance is completely worthy of the title of a team's second leader.

People thought the explosion in the last round was just an accidental explosion, but they didn't expect him to continue this state tonight!
I saw him facing his former starter Sefolosha, dribbling with his hands crossed, and constantly testing Sefolosha's center of gravity.

Finally, after discovering that Sefolosha's center of gravity had shifted, he immediately broke through with his left hand and killed the penalty area all the way from the middle.

The constant Sefolosha's strength is also very strong, and he actually withstood Butler, causing Butler to stop the ball in the penalty area.

This is a very dangerous signal, and it is easy to fall into the siege of the opponent!
Just when Sefolosha thought he had defended the ball, Butler suddenly turned around and made a fallback jumper. Their actions made Sefolosha think he saw Jordan for a while.

Basketball hollow into the net!

56: 54.

In this way, the Kings overtook the score!
