Chapter 123 Thunderbolt (ten thousand words)
As soon as the second quarter kicked off, Chen Xiao went on the court again with a firm grip. It felt wrong to rest for 2 minutes in the first quarter, and he didn't dare to rest in the second quarter.

Thunder backup guard Maynor dribbled the ball across the half court and handed the ball to Perkins at the top of the arc. Chen Xiao moved slowly with Perkins' footsteps.

Durant came out from the bottom corner on the right and handed the ball to the free throw line. Walker followed and Durant passed the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line .

Westbrook caught the ball and pulled up a three-pointer.

Seeing that Westbrook made an open shot, Chen Xiao pushed back, trying to squeeze Perkins out of the way to take advantage of it.

Feeling the push of both hands on his back, Chen Xiao, who staggered forward, turned around halfway, only to hear the sound of the basketball hitting the basket and the basketball jumping to the right side where Perkins was.

The rebound was picked up by Perkins.

Obviously pushed, but the referee didn't call, Chen Xiao immediately stuck to Perkins to prevent him from easily completing the second attack.

At this moment, Perkins raised the ball with both hands and elbows, his black face was full of complacency, and he opened and closed his mouth and quickly popped out a few words, "Look what this is, an offensive rebound."

But soon, Warrick, who was defending Durant, slipped back and stretched out his hand, and the basketball in Perkins' hands flew up. Seeing the opportunity, Chen Xiao tiptoed to copy, completed the steal, and recovered the basketball.

This time it was Chen Xiao's turn to raise his elbow and raise the ball as a signal.

Passing the ball to Walker, the Bobcats' first attack in the second quarter started quickly.

"Strike." Chen Xiao and Walker, who had just broken into the short corner to dislodge Maynor and scored a 2-point jumper, clapped hands.

Afterwards, Durant's offensive appeal was clear at a glance. He received a pass from Maynor in the elbow area, and immediately attracted the defense of Middleton and Warrick when he raised his hand.

After hitting the ball inside, the veteran Collison, who had already made an air cut, got the basketball. Facing Chen Xiao, who was defending to the paint line, Collison did not short-circuit his brain and choose to attack, but just found a three-pointer diagonally opposite. Martin, at a 45-degree angle outside the line, also hit the ground and passed the ball, spanning a distance of 10 meters.

Martin took the ball and took a step without haste. Facing the oncoming Walker, he made a crooked shot and hit a three-pointer.

Seeing the ball bouncing towards him, Chen Xiao hit it, and Xiao Mu, who had already returned to the basket, served the ball.

In less than half a minute, the thunder struck again.

Standing on the edge of the paint and guarding Perkins, Chen Xiao saw that Collison was vacant at the free throw line directly opposite, and Warrick, the original defender, followed Walker to block Maynor.

Chen Xiao hurried forward to defend, and Maynor also jumped up and passed the ball to Collison amidst the siege of the two.

I saw that Collison did not choose to catch the ball, but flicked his right hand to the incoming ball, and the ball that had fallen parabolically flew into the air again, and Durant, who came out of a 45-degree angle on the right, lightly jumped to catch the basketball.

After catching the ball, he immediately dropped the ball and made a breakthrough. He broke through to the free throw line and was blocked by a chasing soldier on the right. Durant jumped up and passed the ball to Perkins, who had no defense in front of the basket.

Isn't that right, Chen Xiao went out to defend Collison, and Perkins was not empty in front of him at this time.

However, Chen Xiao, who was too late, has returned to the collision line with Collison who gave up the free throw line and chose to cut inside.

Seeing Perkins catching the ball and bending his knees to get up, Chen Xiao tried his best to rush forward, but he couldn't tell whether he caught the ball or his hands or what.

"Beep", the referee blew his whistle to indicate that No. 13 Bobcats thug Chen Xiao fouled, and Perkins made 2 free throws.

"Hey, this ball, the Bobcats' backup power forward Warrick is too sloppy, why did he go in front of Maynor on the right. Chen Xiao is a father and a mother at the same time, and he has to go back after making up for Collison. Protect the frame." The commentator complained.

Well, Chen Xiao saw the basketball bouncing away from mid-air, and this return to defense was not considered a failure, it was just a foul on his back.

"Boy, don't stay too far away from me, you can only stop me with fouls." While flexing his wrists, Perkins chattered to Chen Xiao endlessly.

Yes, you are awesome.Chen Xiao looked disgusted, avoided Perkins' spittle, and stood on the sideline of the paint area to see how many free throws Perkins could make.

After a free throw, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and popped out, and the first free throw was missed.

Free throw gap, Bobcats replaced Mullens, replaced Warrick.

In the second free throw, the basketball bounced twice on the basket and rolled into the basket.One of two free throws.

It is equivalent to one point for Chen Xiao's foul.

Since he was scored by Perkins, he must find his place in the paint.

After signaling Walker to play the ball inside, Chen Xiao pushed Perkins to a low position, and the two worked hard from the position stage.

With both feet firmly planted on the floor, Chen Xiao stretched out his hand and took off the basketball that came from mid-air.

Hold the ball in both hands, observe the situation on the court, make sure that your teammates have pulled away your defenders, and at the same time observe Perkins who is reaching out to interfere and the distance between the basket and yourself.

Swing the body, shake off Perkins' hand on his waist, put his right foot into a position below his center of gravity, and at the same time sink his right back to lean on Perkins, and then exert force coherently as if winding around a After turning around like a cylinder, Perkins, who was unresponsive, was thrown away.

Combine the ball, start, catch the ball with the left hand and make a counter-attack dunk.

Originally planning to layup, Chen Xiao chose a reverse split dunk specifically for Perkins.

"Too slow, too slow." Looking at Perkins standing blankly in front of the basket, Chen Xiao shook his head and chose to return to defense.

However, Chen Xiao played very well against Perkins.

But the scene in this section is still rolling forward step by step in a direction that is unfavorable for the Bobcats.

Walker holds the ball from the outside, and after a pick-and-roll exchange with Mullens, Ibaka is in front of him. Facing Ibaka, Walker pulls back slightly to leave room for sprinting.

But Walker, who didn't choose to shoot, rushed into the basket, trying to lean on Ibaka to get a layup space, but failed, in order to avoid the block, he made a crooked basket.

Ibaka protected the rebound and immediately threw it forward.

Reggie Jackson, who was already standing on the center line, sprinted to catch the ball, faced Sessions in front of him, and scored in an aerial confrontation.

In the last minute before halftime, when Chen Xiao entangled with Ibaka behind him and freed his right hand to receive a pass from Sessions, he only saw the defender in front of Sessions jumping left and right, showing his teeth and claws. Sessions hesitated and chose to pass back to Walker who stepped on the side of the Thunder logo at the top of the arc.

It's broken, Chen Xiao knew it was broken when he saw the obvious pass preparation action of preparing to return the pass.

Sure enough, Westbrook, who was ready to go, copied the basketball and rushed to the Bobcats basket.

Westbrook rushed through halftime and paused to see if Walker was catching up. Seeing that there was no threat of chasing caps, Westbrook adjusted his stride frequency, and his stride seemed to be buckled.

I don't know if there was a draft for a long time, and it was discovered that the take-off position was too deep. Westbrook turned a dunk in the air and scored 2 points in a long-distance layup.

It may be because of this layup that I feel unsatisfied. The last offensive opportunity before halftime, time is running out, Westbrook holds the ball on the right wing, facing Walker's bent-down mark, kicks on the back foot, and accelerates to 3 kilometers in only [-] seconds The supercar started, rushed to the inside line, soared into the air, and completed a signature right-hand split button.

After completing the dunk, he walked along the bottom line with the overlord step, and the sound of the bottom line shutter was endless.

What about Chen Xiao?Why not go up and cover it.

Now, Chen Xiao didn't know whether to blame Durant or thank Durant.

When Westbrook broke through Walker, Chen Xiao was about to get rid of Ibaka next to him, but Durant, who was crossing the baseline, suddenly rushed over and embraced Chen Xiao passionately.

After hugging, only Westbrook, who is stepping on the overlord step, is left in front of him.

Thinking better, avoiding becoming a background wall?After all, Westbrook's dunks during this period were people blocking and killing people, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

But it is still a pity, no matter whether it can be sealed or not, it is still a bit unwilling to try to protect the frame.

Look up at the halftime score, 59:41.

The dizzying number, the first quarter was a loss of a few points, Chen Xiao recalled, 7 points.

Then losing 18 points in the half is equivalent to losing 11 points in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, in addition to Chen Xiao's 12 points, Walker's 2 points at the beginning of the second quarter, Sessions' free throw 3 points, Middleton's [-]-pointer, and the Bobcats scored again.

21 points in the first quarter and 20 points in the second quarter, it seems that the difference is almost the same.

But the Thunder scored 28 points in the first quarter, and the second quarter was almost the same, still scoring 31 points efficiently.

Back and forth, 18 points in the half, and the nearly 20-point difference has widened.

locker room.

18 points, not too much, even if multiplied by 2, it is "only" 36 points.

But facing the Thunder chasing 18 points, it feels a bit difficult no matter what.

"Byron, throw that damn ball in the second half. You were determined enough in the first half. It's time to score."

"Kemba, I believe in you, come on in the second half."

"Chris, uh, you were okay in the first half, keep it up."

Before going on the field, Chen Xiao and his teammates encouraged each other. Whether they can turn the score back depends on the third quarter.

The Thunder served the ball and already got quasi-two-double data in the first half. Westbrook, who scored 2 assists, came up with a three-pointer.

But strike an iron with anger, to cool down the fiery thunder.

The fastest way to chase points is of course to shoot 3-pointers, one 3-pointer and one 3-pointer, how fast you can chase points, but judging from the above half, the Bobcats still have to rely on Chen Xiao to chase points one by one.

In the low position on the left side, Chen Xiao was still facing Perkins. Except for Ibaka behind him for part of the second quarter, the Thunder still chose to trust Perkins. Even if they couldn't restrict Chen Xiao's scoring too much, they could at least consume energy.Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, the team has been leading, so Perkins is still used.

Perkins, who had enough rest time, appeared to be more active. His little hands were not very clean. He pinched his waist and back, and used all his lifelong learning.

Still swinging his body after catching the ball, Chen Xiao shook off Perkins' hand first.

His left foot went up a little to the line, Perkins thought that Chen Xiao was going to make another back turn and slipped to the bottom line, so he moved his body inward unconsciously.

Put the ball down with his right hand, push it back, immediately take a step up the line after the confrontation, step on the paint area and take off with one foot, raise his right hand high, and hook the ball to the basket directly in front of his line of sight.

Perkins' outstretched hand was blocked by Chen Xiao's protector's left hand. Ibaka, who was waiting for an opportunity at the free throw line, jumped up and stretched out his arm to try, but when he rushed over, the basketball had already fallen from the net and fell to the floor. . "Boom", "Boom".

Too far behind, Chen Xiao, who didn't have the heart to talk trash, saw the ball go into the basket, and immediately turned around to prepare for the next defense.

Back, Ibaka received a pass from Westbrook to attract the defense, and jumped up above the free throw line.

"Ibaka missed the shot, and the Bobcats have a chance to counterattack!" Seeing that the Thunder missed the shot, Yu Jia's tone was a little excited.

Suppressing Perkins behind him, Chen Xiao successfully picked off the rebound, seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, he handed the ball to Walker who came to catch the ball.

Still in the same position, after receiving the ball from the low post on the left, Chen Xiao obviously felt that the arc from Perkins to Ibaka to Durant shrank a bit.

If he turns around and walks up the line, then Ibaka will assist in the defense in time, and Ibaka is clearly posing to move over here. Similarly, Perkins has already stopped slightly to the bottom line compared to his normal defensive position.

Maybe you can choose to trust your teammates?

Well, let's call first.

Chen Xiao hit the ball with his right hand, and his left back hit Perkins' left chest hard, "boom", "boom" two solid collisions made Perkins take a step back and let out of the paint all space.

When there was space, Chen Xiao used his right foot as the axis, turned over to the side and rear, raised the ball and jumped, leaned back a little, and aimed at the basket for a shot.

With almost no interference, Chen Xiao, who was feeling hot, hit a shot, combined with a combination of hooks and shots, and beat Perkins by 4 points in a row.

The point difference was forced to within 15 points.

But the problem of poor defensive habits appeared again. Ibaka, who moved to the inside, attracted the attention of both of them at the same time. Perkins, who rarely got the ball inside, found an open teammate.

Originally, when Perkins received the ball, Chen Xiao didn't think he would choose to play back. Sure enough, when an opportunity appeared on the outside, Perkins immediately threw the basketball in his hand.

Safolosha received the ball smoothly, and Sessions went forward to defend and continued to score one point to the right.

Durant was actually in the empty position at this time, raising the knife with his hand and dropping it, keeping the movement of pressing his wrist, watching the three-pointer securely pocketed.

The score continued to return to more than 15 points.

This is just the first one. Durant reciprocated and made the last pass to Safolosha.

The previous three-pointer was 7-for-3, and only the last one was needed to fill in the odd-numbered three-pointer. Safolosha did not miss this opportunity, 8-for-4, 50% of pleasing three-pointers, and the shooting rate.

In half a quarter, the Thunder poured a bucket of cold water on the reorganized Bobcats with 4 or [-]-pointers that were either open or half-open.

After three quarters, the point difference did not close at all, but instead became 20 points, the dividing line.

Speaking of the third quarter, there were 4 three-pointers in the half quarter, and in fact, there were only 4 three-pointers in the whole quarter. Compared with the previous two quarters, the Thunder's shooting percentage has declined, but the 4% shooting rate is still lower than that of the Bobcats in their early 5s. one head.

In the last quarter, after playing for a few more minutes and seeing that the point difference was still difficult to effectively close, Dunlap blew the horn of Mingjin to withdraw.

Brooks also accepted as soon as he saw it, replacing Durant, Westbrook and other main players.

雷霆主场以109：89正正好好赢了山猫20分。20分的分差也是山猫本赛季开赛第二场输给小牛13分以后的最大分差。
