Start without the ball

Chapter 321 Accident
"Think carefully, the opportunity to play is hard-won." Ujiri refused to give up, trying to persuade.

Jeremy Lin: "Sir, I've already thought it through."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the locker room.

"What a stubborn guy!" Ujiri swore.

In the Thunder locker room, George seized the time to receive physical therapy. His performance in the first half was unsatisfactory, and the Thunder forward looked grim.

Li Haoyu tried to comfort him: "Kawhi's defense is indeed very strong, don't worry, the two of us played more pick-and-rolls in the second half, and tried to replace Danny Green with you."

George didn't say a word, Leonard made him feel the pressure, but he is not a person who will retreat in the face of a strong enemy.

This is the battlefield of the finals. Countless basketball fans all over the world are paying attention to the match between the two teams. He is eager to prove himself.

Donovan said: "George, your task is very heavy. You have to face Kawhi on both offense and defense. Don't worry, we still have Lee and Russell."

"Coach, don't worry, I will definitely perform better in the second half."

Halftime passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled through half court, and was about to implement the established tactics, but saw George reach out for the ball at 45 degrees to the left and two steps away.

George's competitive spirit told him that he could not escape and must defeat Leonard!

Westbrook was a little hesitant. At halftime, Donovan arranged for George to take Leonard away, and Li Haoyu used the screen to create opportunities. But now, George chose to beat Leonard to prove himself.

In the end, he chose to fulfill his brothers and pass the ball to George.

After receiving the ball, George looked at Leonard fiercely. In the first half, he was completely suppressed, which he could not accept.

Lowering the center of gravity, continuous crotch dribbles approached the defense. Leonard stood on the three-point line and waited for it. The cold defensive machine was never afraid of any challenge. When George came to him, Leonard took a small step Step forward and try to get close and apply pressure.

George had been prepared for a long time, he was too disadvantaged in the confrontation, but he knew his advantage, that is the rhythm!
At the moment Leonard stepped forward, George exerted force with his left hand, changed direction at a very fast speed, and dribbled the ball to his right hand. Down.

The Raptors forward reacted extremely quickly and slid back at full speed. As long as he can keep up with George's speed, then he will have no way to retreat against the Thunder forward.

At this moment, George stopped suddenly!Change direction behind the back and dribble the ball back to the left hand while withdrawing beyond the three-point line, bend the legs and prepare to stand up, the right hand gradually moves closer to the left hand holding the ball, and look up at the frame.

Leonard was originally sliding back with all his strength, but when he saw the Thunder forward withdrawing from the three-point line and preparing to make a shot, he rushed forward with all his strength.

It's now!

George changed direction again, dribbling the ball with his left hand to the front right at the fastest speed, and at the same time stepped out with his right foot and dashed towards the basket, instantly passing Leonard who was rushing forward.

he made it!

The perfect rhythm mobilized the center of gravity of Leonard's body, and the interlocking offensive made the Raptors forward exhausted.

Passing the old enemy, George came to the hinterland of the Raptors, and Marc Gasol stepped forward to defend.

George roared with soaring adrenaline, kicked off the ground, stretched the ball back with his right hand, like a bow, full of violent power.

Gasol was not afraid. After jumping up, he raised his right hand and slapped the basketball with all his strength. He wanted to give the Thunder forward a super block that he would never forget.

George spotted Gasol's arm, turned slightly sideways, and hit the basket with all his strength.

boom!
With a one-arm dunk, George succeeded!

Just as he was about to celebrate, he felt a severe pain in his shoulder.

Gasol didn't cover the basketball, but he covered George's shoulder!

The severe pain caused George to let go of the basket, and he clutched his right shoulder in pain after landing.

O'Neill: "Oops, George has a right shoulder injury!"

The referee's whistle sounded and Gasol fouled.

But no one cared about the penalty. All members of the Thunder rushed to George and asked about the situation eagerly.

Donovan quickly called a timeout, and the team doctor entered the field.

The big screen at the scene played back George's dunk. The right hand holding the ball avoided Gasol's giant palm, but his shoulder did not escape the Raptors inside. The slam dunk, but with all his strength, George himself rushed at full speed. Under the collision, the pain in the affected area can be imagined.

After the team doctor checked, the dark and stern shook his head at Donovan.

George gritted his teeth and got up, followed the team doctor to the passage, Li Haoyu and Westbrook sent him to the entrance of the passage.

George gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain, and said with tears in his eyes, "Brothers, it's up to you now."

Li Haoyu: "I will do my best!"

Westbrook: "Fuck, this team is too dirty!"

O'Neal looked at George's lonely back, and couldn't bear to say: "George is too strong. He has many choices just now. He can start against Gasol and complete the layup with his excellent flexibility, or he can point to the center to make a layup." Foul, but he chose to face the challenge."

Pierce: "The rhythm of him passing Kawhi is so perfect, hey"

Pierce: "Now the burden on Lee and Russell has increased!"

Ferguson replaced George and walked to the free throw line to replace the injured teammate to execute free throws.

There were boos all over the audience, and Ferguson missed a hit under pressure!
The score was 56 to 50, the Raptors attacked, and Lowry dribbled the ball across the center line to Leonard.

The Raptors quickly pulled away, and Leonard dribbled the ball to force Ferguson.

The thin Thunder forward slid hard to try to stop Leonard, but unfortunately the strength difference was too much.

Leonard opened the defense and made an iconic mid-range shot.

bang-shua~
The Raptors forward's mid-range shot was as solid as an old dog, 56 to 52.

The Thunder attacked, Li Haoyu came to the frontcourt, and suddenly found that his defender had been replaced by Leonard!

With George off the field, the Thunder's strengths suddenly diminished, and Leonard decided to freeze the troublesome ghost Mamba himself!

Li Haoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to run a marathon again?"

Leonard didn't say a word, still stuck in front of Li Haoyu.

"Don't regret it!" After saying that, Li Haoyu ran to the bottom corner on the left sideline, Leonard still clinging to him.

O'Neill: "Leonard wants to limit Lee. Isn't he afraid of losing his energy because of sticking to the defense like in the first game?"

Barkley: "I don't quite understand. Even if the Thunder lose George, they have Russell! Although Kawhi can limit the ghost Mamba, he is at the expense of physical fitness. Russell can still Attacking with the ball is not worth the candle!"

Westbrook also knew that he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's offense now, but when he was about to break through, he saw Lowry actually let himself go a big step!

On the other side, Danny Green is also eyeing. Ferguson does not have the threat of George's shooting, and he can execute pincers unscrupulously.

In this way, it will be difficult for Westbrook to break through, but he is not afraid.

Look down on my shot?
Thunder God Turtle kicked off the ground, fixed his figure with his strong waist and abdomen, and moved his wrist to make a move.

brush~
The orange basketball fell into the net through a beautiful arc.

Westbrook hit a three-pointer and stepped forward when the team needed it!
