Start without the ball

Chapter 237 Exposing the True State

Adams jumped to get the ball and the Thunder attacked.

After three games, George was the only Thunder Trident who hadn't scored 30+. At the battle meeting, George volunteered, and this game will focus on him.

It just so happened that Popovich sent a three-back lineup, and George had an absolute physical advantage.

Westbrook crossed the midfield line and passed the ball to George at 45 degrees on the right. Facing Belinelli's defense, he dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch and then rushed to the right.

Belinelli slid to keep up, but found all-round disadvantages in speed and strength, and was completely eliminated after two steps.

George went inside, Poeltl defended, and the Thunder forward made a throw.

boom.

The feeling in the hand was a little worse, the iron was struck, and Ade took off the rebound.

The Spurs attacked, White cautiously crossed the midfield, Belinelli landed at 45 degrees on the right, and with the help of two screens, an opportunity appeared in the left corner.

Li Haoyu on the wing let go of Forbes to defend the bottom corner. Belinelli passed the ball to 45 degrees. In the open space, Forbes made a decisive three-pointer.

shuh~
The basketball fell into the net through a beautiful arc. Although Sanxiao was a sinkhole in defense, his outside offensive ability was stronger than that of the regular lineup.

The Spurs home fans saw that the team was in a very good state today, and they kept applauding the players of the home team.

The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook crossed the midfield and passed the ball again to George, who was 45 degrees on the right.

The Thunder forward dribbled the ball with his left hand, turned in front of his body to his right hand, and at the same time stepped out with his right foot.

Belinelli retreated again and again, George smiled slightly, dribbled the ball from under his right leg to his left hand, at the same time retracted his right leg and withdrew from the three-point line, and shot.

boom.

Strike the iron!Ade caught Adams behind him, and when he was about to take off the basketball, a man in blue suddenly appeared and stuffed the bounced basketball back into the frame.

When George shot, Li Haoyu saw the trajectory of the basketball and immediately judged that the ball must be ironed. Forbes was still looking at the flight path of the basketball. Li Haoyu took the opportunity to accelerate to the inside and completed the dunk, 3 to 2.

TNT commentary seats.

Miller: "George's attacking state with the ball is not very good."

Pierce: "Although he averaged 20+ per game in the first three games, almost all of his shots were completed in the excellent opportunities created by Lee.

Today, he continued to attack with the ball. It seems that the injury at the end of the regular season still has a certain impact on him. "

Miller: "However, Lee's brilliance can't be concealed. Even if he opens up space in the bottom corner, he can still make a contribution. After George made a shot, he rushed to the inside. It seems that he has judged that the ball is a hit. .”

Pierce: "I bet the best rookie of the year must be Lee! $1000, accept?"

Miller: "Fuck! The whole world knows that the Rookie of the Year trophy is already in Lee's pocket, there is no suspense."

In the next few minutes, George tried a few more times, but the effect was not very good. It was easy to break through Belinelli, but when he entered the inside line, he always felt a little worse in his hands when facing the supplementary defense to end the offense.

On the other hand, the Spurs' flexible three-small lineup played well. Belinelli hit two three-pointers, Forbes and White also hit a long shot each. At 7 minutes and 30 seconds, the two sides battled 11-17, and the Thunder fell behind. 6 points.

Donovan replaced Li Haoyu as usual to prepare for the transition period, and Popovich rushed to the players on the field and gestured to change the defense.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook came to the frontcourt, and found that the Spurs were all shrinking inside, unable to break through at all, and the turtle passed the ball to George.

George could only bite the bullet and shoot, and he still hit the iron without accident.

On the other hand, the Spurs continued their good outside offense. The San Antonio team widened the point difference when Li Haoyu was off the court. At 2 minutes and 51 seconds, the two sides battled 15 to 28. The Spurs led by as much as 13 points. Donovan requested a timeout .

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "Why did Donovan replace Brother Yuzi after the score fell behind? I don't understand."

Yang Yi: "Donovan is a stubborn coach. In the first three games, he replaced Li Haoyu in advance to prepare for the transition period, and they all achieved good results.

In the previous games, when Li Haoyu was the core of the offense, the Thunder's offense was quite smooth. He could create excellent shooting opportunities for his teammates. Both Westbrook and George were in an excited state. It would be fine to replace Li Haoyu at this time.

Today's situation is different. At the beginning of the game, George is the main attacker, let him find his status and prepare for the next round of competition.

However, George's offensive effect with the ball was not good. At this time, Li Haoyu was replaced, and the outside line was no longer restrained. The Spurs shrank unscrupulously to prevent breakthroughs. "

Miller: "Li Haoyu's performance concealed George's state, and he has not recovered [-]%."

Pierce: "Now it seems that Li's organizational skills are really strong. By creating excellent opportunities for George, his state is stimulated. Once he leaves Li Haoyu's organization, George's state is completely exposed."

On the Thunder's bench, George was extremely dissatisfied with his state and slammed down the seat.

Felton reassured: "It's okay, now we are 13 points behind, and there are still some chasing!"

Westbrook: "Bro, don't worry, the next step is the transition, Lee's time!"

Donovan pulled Li Haoyu to his side:
"Li, feel free to attack boldly and do what you think is right!"

Li Haoyu nodded slightly, the timeout passed, and the two sides sent out a rotation.

Thunder lineup: center Noelle, power forward Morris, small forward Ferguson, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

Spurs lineup: Center Motiejunas, power forward Bertans, small forward Gay, shooting guard DeRozan, point guard Mills.

The Thunder attacked, Li Haoyu came to the top of the arc to receive the basketball, and the defender was Gay.

Clamping the ball to his side, waiting for his teammates, Noelle stepped up to cover the right.

Li Haoyu dribbled the ball to the right, Noelle's break was too early, and Gay took the opportunity to catch up with the Thunder defender.

At the free throw line, Li Haoyu stopped, turned his body to the right, and pretended to look back at his teammates. Guy slowed down and stuck to him.

Li Haoyu started to rush to the inside again, the rhythm change caught Guy off guard, and he got rid of the defense in an instant.

Bertans came up to defend, Li Haoyu took the first step to the right suddenly, and the Spurs power forward shifted his center of gravity to block.

Lie to the defensive center of gravity, Li Haoyu took the second step to the unguarded left, and easily made a layup.

17 to 28.
Pierce: "Lee's breakthrough rhythm changes are too beautiful. He stopped and started quickly to get rid of the Spurs forward in an instant, and then used the European step to trick Bertans into an easy layup. His footwork is really good."

Miller: "He is really growing. I remember when he first entered the league, he didn't dare to hold the ball. Now he can complete such a smooth breakthrough. He must have put in a lot of hard work off the court."

Off the field, Popovich walked back and forth impatiently. Although he had a 10-point lead, he was in the transition stage at the moment. This was Li Haoyu's time!He worries that the rotation will not be able to withstand the fierce offensive of the Thunder guards.
