Start without the ball

Chapter 308

On the Raptors bench, Nurse sternly roared:

"Look behind you, nearly 2 spectators are cheering for you non-stop, but your performance just now is worthy of them?"

The Raptors players looked stern, and Nas continued: "This is the finals! We are fighting for honor, Van Vleet, that Chinese defender scored 7 points under your defense!"

Van Vleet hesitated to speak, he knew that Li Haoyu was completely overwhelmed by both offensive and defensive ends, and making excuses was not his style.

"Tell me what to do next!"

Van Vleet looked firmly at Nas, who had always been extremely trusting, and said, "Coach, I will do my best."

Nurse nodded: "I hope you can do it. At the beginning of the second quarter, Danny replaced Lowry, and Mark replaced Siakam. Remember your range advantage. It is difficult for Noelle to put pressure on you." .”

Gasol nodded, and Nurse continued:

"Remember, we once double-killed the Thunder, they are our defeated opponents, don't be afraid, show your fighting spirit! Don't let go of every opportunity, rebounds, floor balls, I want to see you fight for it with all your strength!"

After a pause, Nas looked at the crowd, and the players' eyes became sharp.

"This is a man's battlefield. Every year, only two teams can stand on the stage of the finals. The O'Brien Cup is waiting for you after four victories. Tell me loudly, who are you!"

"We the North!"

"Then show labor and management the aura of the king of the northern border, fight and grab, tell them, here, we are the masters!"

The referee signaled the players on both sides to return to the court. Van Vleet punched himself in the chest before going on the court. He didn't want to disappoint Nas's painstaking efforts.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Haoyu sat on the bench, and the two sides rotated their lineups to fight.

Van Vleet faced Schroeder, and he finally found his own rhythm, using Gasol's pick-and-roll to continuously hit the basket and assist his teammates.

Gasol tied the game with two [-]-pointers, which gave Donovan a headache.

On the defensive end, although Van Vleet could not limit Li Haoyu, he could limit Schroeder. For a while, the Thunder lost their rhythm.

At 9 minutes and 45 seconds, the two sides battled 37 to 37.

O'Neal: "All along, the Thunder's bench lineup has been the top in the league under Lee's leadership, but if Lee is not on the court, the true strength of their bench will be exposed.

Schroder's personal offense is far stronger than his organizational ability, but Van Vleet was almost elected as the best sixth man. His speed does not belong to Schroder, and he also has an advantage in confrontation.

Schroeder's personal offense was restricted by Van Vleet, and his organizational skills were not outstanding. In this way, the players in the Thunder's rotation lost contact and fought on their own. They could not be the opponents of the Raptors. "

Pierce: "I agree. Although Van Vleet often becomes a defensive breakthrough when he plays the 2nd position, he is indeed better in the face of Schroder's [-]st position matchup."

Miller: "The Raptors have tied the game with Marc Gasol's two three-pointers. The two sides have returned to the same starting line. Now that the starters are back on the court, it depends on the confrontation between the aces."

The Raptors attacked, Lowry advanced with the ball, and then handed the ball to Leonard at the top of the arc. The recovered Raptors forward waited for his teammates to open up space, and he started his own singles.

Leonard's dribbling is simple and incompetent, and he dribbles steadily with his left hand looking for opportunities.

George stepped forward to try to steal, Leonard reacted quickly, stepped out of his right leg, and dribbled the ball from under his leg with his left hand to his right hand towards the inside.

George hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity to chase back. At the free throw line, Leonard resisted and pushed George away with all his strength. After gaining space for the shot, he kicked off the ground, stabilized his figure in the air, and pulled out the basketball in his hand.

The basketball flew almost straight to the basket and then extended, bang-shua~
The CIC hit, 37 to 39, and the Raptors overtook the score.

Ke Fan: "Leonard is too stable in the mid-range shot! It seems that he has recovered his physical fitness."

Yang Yi: "I have to admire the tenacity of the Raptors. At the end of the first quarter, they were still behind by 6 points, and they overtook them in a blink of an eye."

Ke Fan: "Once Li Haoyu is off the court, Van Vleet seems to have broken free from the shackles."

Barrage.

"Brother Yuzi's hard-working score advantage is gone! Xiaojia's three-pointer is really terrible."

"To be honest, the Raptors are not single-core in the absolute sense, and their role players are really not weak."

"It's no accident that they can beat the Bucks. Now it depends on whether the Thunder's main force can respond."

"Thunder rushes!"

Westbrook took the basketball from Adams and dribbled it upcourt.

When Li Haoyu arrived in the frontcourt, he found that his defender had been replaced by Danny Green, who landed at 45 degrees to the left and asked Westbrook for the ball.

After receiving the ball, Adams stepped up and firmly stuck to the right side of Danny Green, and Li Haoyu accelerated to the inside.

Gasol Jr. didn't follow Adams forward and stayed under the basket. Seeing this, Li Haoyu stopped the ball on the left side of the free throw line and bent his legs, ready to make a mid-range shot.

Seeing the Thunder defender stop the ball, Gasol rushed forward, Li Haoyu stopped the shooting, but the experienced Gasol immediately slowed down, and did not give him a chance to make a foul.

At this time Adams went down, Li Haoyu hit the ground and passed the ball into the hands of Neptune.

Siakam let go of Grant to defend Adams, and the Sea King shifted the ball to the right corner.

Grant made a three-pointer.

boom!
Bad luck, hit the iron.

Siakam and Adams kept fighting for positions. After a hand-to-hand fight, Siakam successfully put the Neptune behind his back. Just when he was about to grab the rebound, a shadow of a basket suddenly flashed. After jumping up, he slapped the ball to bottom right corner.

It's Li Haoyu!He noticed that his teammate's shot strength was limited and too strong, and immediately rushed to the basket. Gasol in front of him was still looking back to observe the flying basketball, completely unaware that Li Haoyu had already activated it.

At the point where the rebound landed, Siakam was focused on competing for position with Neptune, and didn't notice that Li Haoyu had already entered the inside line. The Thunder guard leaped high with the strength of his running and slapped the ball at his teammate.

Grant received the ball and shot again.

shuh~
The basketball fell into the net through a beautiful arc, and he lived up to Li Haoyu's offensive rebounds!

O'Neill: "Lee is really causing trouble for the Raptors all the time. If I play a game on the court, I will work hard to win the hand-to-hand fight and get stuck. When I am about to pick up the rebound, I suddenly kill a guard and take the rebound. I will be angry. die."

Barkley: "Nurse learned his lesson this quarter and didn't continue to use Leonard to defend Lee, but in this way, the Youlin Mamba has no shackles, and Lee is also aware of this. In this offense, he consciously took on the responsibility of organizing."

On the Raptors bench, Nurse yelled at the field violently: "Be sure to pay attention to Lee next time! Take off the damn rebound for me!"

　Sorry, it's a bit late, the fourth update is about 3 o'clock, everyone, let's watch it in the morning.
