Start without the ball

Chapter 276

Li Haoyu frowned and pursed his lips. The Warriors are in such a good state, the most urgent thing now is to bite the score and make a gesture with Westbrook.

Guigui nodded and landed at 45 degrees to the left, waiting for his teammates to open up space. Li Haoyu landed in the corner on the same side as Westbrook, and the others retreated to the right.

Westbrook dribbled the ball with his left hand with a ferocious expression. When his teammate finished positioning, he immediately changed direction in front of his body, and the ball went to his right hand and rushed towards the inside.

Although the Warriors have found a solution to deal with Westbrook's low position and forceful attack on Curry, Curry is still difficult to parry in the face of absolute speed and strength advantages. He tried to slide and defend, but when he followed Westbrook, a The speed against him was affected, and Westbrook got rid of it calmly.

After passing Curry, Westbrook went straight to the basket, and Rooney stepped forward to defend.

At the moment Westbrook broke through, Adams, who was standing on the edge of the left three-second zone, came to the left corner to cover for Li Haoyu. With the help of Aquaman's strong body, Li Haoyu got rid of Thompson and went straight to the basket.

When Westbrook distributed the ball to Li Haoyu who was in the air, Green shrank to the basket to cover Rooney's position. Li Haoyu had no chance to directly attack the basket.

Green shrinks, and Grant is empty. Li Haoyu distributes the ball to Grant at 45 degrees on the right, but when the ball arrives, Iguodala at the top of the arc is also in place.

Li Haoyu was under the basket and stepped out of the baseline. Everyone's attention was on Grant who was holding the ball.

Li Haoyu rushed to the right corner with all his strength, and Grant was hurrying to pass the ball there.

When receiving the ball, there are only 2 seconds left in the time, kick the ground to take off, lift the ball and move the wrist in one go.

The moment the shot was completed, the red light came on, the Thunder almost violated the 24-second rule, and the basketball went straight to the basket through a beautiful arc.

shuh~
Hollow into the net.

5 to 11, the Thunder is struggling to maintain the point difference.

Pierce: "The Warriors' defensive rotation was great today. They successfully responded to Russell's breakthrough, solved Lee's baseline cut, and arrived in time for Lee to score the ball, but Lee was in a desperate situation. Jiao found the opportunity, shot the whistle, and he completed the attack in time before 24 seconds, the Thunder played too hard."

Miller: "Today, both offensive and defensive ends of the Warriors have the integrity of the peak 73 wins. Lee is struggling to support it."

In the next game, the Thunder struggled to maintain the point difference, while the Warriors relied on team offense to continuously consolidate their advantage.

At 7 minutes and 20 seconds, the two sides fought 13 to 21. Donovan hesitated. Now the defense can't solve the Warriors' well-organized and non-stop running team attack launched by Curry.

On the offensive end, George was restricted by Iguodala again. His offensive effect with the ball is not good. Westbrook can break through Curry, but the Warriors' defensive rotation is very good. They can only rely on Li Haoyu to create opportunities. If they are replaced at this time Li Haoyu was worried that others would not be able to hold the score.

But if Li Haoyu is not replaced, the advantage of the transition period will be gone. When thinking hard, the assistant coach Bayer made a suggestion:

"Lee must not be replaced now. He is the key to us biting the score. I suggest you replace George. He can't take advantage of Iguodala now. It is better to replace him to save his energy and let him lead the rotation. .”

Donovan thought about it, adopted Bayer's suggestion, and replaced Paul George. Westbrook and Li Haoyu struggled to maintain the point difference. Due to physical exhaustion, Li Haoyu's shooting percentage also dropped slightly. Expanded to 12 points.

With 2 minutes and 33 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides battled 19 to 31, and the two sides switched back to the rotation.

When George's defender was no longer Iguodala and replaced by the slow Jerebko, George, who was unshackled, recovered his rhythm and recovered 4 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought 28 to 36, and the Thunder trailed by 8 points.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Duan Ran: "Donovan's IQ is still online today. He didn't replace Li Haoyu, the main force chasing points, and let George lead the rotation instead."

Huo Nan: "The problem is that George's ability to chase points in the transition period is limited. He is not as good at chaotic battles as Li Haoyu. Now the Thunder are still 8 points behind."

Barrage.

"It's so difficult. It would be great if the Thunder had two Yuzi brothers, one for the starting lineup and one for the rotation."

"Donovan didn't make a fool of replacing Li Haoyu who maintained the point difference, so be content."

"Have Ray fans seen it clearly, this is the gap between you and the championship, even if Durant is not there, you can still show enough competitiveness!"

"Hey, George is still too soft when he meets Iguodala in the playoffs.

Deng Qi rested his chin on both hands, pouted, in a bad mood:
"It's so annoying! It's hard to find time to watch the game. Why are the Warriors so strong?"

The assistant comforted: "The Warriors are a super team that has won 4 championships in the last 3 years. Don't be sad, there is still a chance."

On the Thunder's bench, everyone looked sad. For the first time since the playoffs, Li Haoyu felt powerless. The most difficult game before was the one he won with an 8-kilometer run against the Trail Blazers.

In that game, no matter how many points Lillard and McCollum scored, Li Haoyu could respond by running non-stop.

But today’s game is different. The Warriors’ integrity is too strong. The defense is a tacit rotation that can only be achieved after four years of playoffs. After all the hard work to get rid of the second line of defense, the Warriors' third line of defense was in place. When Li Haoyu finally found a chance, there was not much time left.

The pressure brought by the Warriors' defense made Li Haoyu very uncomfortable playing. Although he was able to maintain the point difference with difficulty, the physical exertion was too heavy.

Today, Donovan did not replace Li Haoyu in the middle of the first quarter. He struggled to maintain the point difference and his physical fitness continued to be exhausted. At the end of the first quarter, after his physical fitness declined, his shooting percentage also began to decline. This is the most difficult game he has ever played. a match.

On the other hand, the Warriors rely on the overall running, the offense is smooth, and the physical fitness of the players is not consumed too much. Cole saw that Li Haoyu was off the field during the transition, so he simply did not replace Curry. There is no Li Haoyu's terrifying explosive power like a tide in the transition.

Li Haoyu picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat, and listened to Donovan's arrangement.

"Listen, the Warriors came prepared for this game. I know it was tough for you guys, but look at the score, we still have a chance now, hang in there. Last game you proved that you are not weaker than them. Bring out the steel of your Oklahomas!"

After a pause, Donovan turned his head to look at Li Haoyu and asked:
"Li, how is your physical fitness?"

Li Haoyu: "Coach, you can recover a little bit during the break."

Donovan: "We need you to stand up now, don't begrudge your physical fitness, use your running to try to disrupt their defensive rotation!"

　I will code slowly at night, everyone will read it in the morning, there are at least three chapters.
