NBA: No. 1 Forward

As time passed, the Thunder, who had been unable to open the score for a long time, began to worry.

Especially when the Knicks switched to the offensive lineup, the Thunder couldn't keep up.

Westbrook's last two offenses ended in iron strikes.

In the third quarter when the Knicks feel bad, if the Thunder can't seize the opportunity to open the score.

Once the Knicks recover in the fourth quarter, what awaits the Thunder may be a thousand miles away.

Especially when they consume a lot of physical energy.

The Thunder must now have someone stand up and decide the direction of the game.

Durant chose to stand up, and he wanted to expand the point difference with his own hands.

Now, the only trouble facing Durant is Lian Dao.

But Durant believes that Lian Dao should be tired enough by now.

After all, throughout the third quarter, most of the Knicks' offense was supported by Lian Dao, and his consumption was greater than that of everyone on the field.

This time, Durant didn't think Lian Dao could stop him.

With less than 4 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the Thunder currently lead by 3 points.

They had led by 8 points before, but after the Knicks' offensive lineup came up, they recovered by 5 points.

And Durant's goal is to expand the lead to 8 points, or even 10 points!

On the Thunder's next possession, Durant took over from Westbrook.

At the same time, outside the three-point line, he commanded his teammates to open up for him, and he wanted to attack with all his strength to open the score.

With the Thunder's outside three-pointer, the Knicks really didn't dare to shrink the defense easily.

In particular, several people on the court have three-point shooting ability except Perkins.

Now the situation on the court has become very clear: Durant holds the ball from the outside and singles against Lian Dao!

If Lian Dao loses his position, Durant may score directly if he rushes in.

Lian Dao lowered his center of gravity, bent his legs slightly, stared at Durant, licked his lips, and at the same time hooked his hand towards Durant.

The meaning is clear: you can let the horse come!

Durant didn't care about Lian Dao's provocative actions, he thought it was just Lian Dao's bluff.

He didn't think that Lian Dao, who had been fighting for most of the quarter, had any physical strength left.

Durant stood firm in front of Lian Dao, looked at the situation on the field, and then broke through.

It is still the familiar double disguise.

First, the levitation dribble attracted Lian Dao's attention, and then he dribbled the ball in a large disguise, and adjusted his footsteps to speed up.

However, just after Durant completed the disguise, he found that Lian Dao was sticking up again like brown sugar.

Lian Dao's traverse speed is still so fast!

"Kevin, your double disguise doesn't work for me at all!"

After Lian Dao forced Durant to stop, he still kept talking trash.

Durant didn't respond, but gritted his teeth and continued to break through.

The ball protector blocks Lian Dao and performs a ball protection action, while the dragging step connects with a large disguise again.

And adjust the pace to make accelerated breakthroughs to the inside.

This is his signature move. In the past, as long as he used this move, he could basically pass the defender easily.

But Durant didn't pass Lian Dao as easily as expected.

On the contrary, Lian Dao's high-intensity defense has not weakened at all.

"Shet!"

At this time, Durant felt irritated and at the same time felt a little fear of Lian Dao.

Throughout the third quarter, Lian Dao rested for less than two minutes.

Moreover, when he is on the court, the consumption on the offensive end is not small at all.

But even so, the guy didn't feel tired at all.

If James were here, he would laugh at Durant for his ignorance.

This is where it goes. You must know that when the Heat are playing, Lian Dao is working **** both offense and defense.

In the third quarter, Lian Dao was only working on the offensive end, and Tony Allen was directly on the defensive end.

As for James Harden and Sefolosha, they don't need Lian Dao to spend a lot of energy on the defensive end.

It can be seen that Lian Dao is saving his energy and is waiting to deal with the Thunder and Durant in the end.

In desperation, Durant had no choice but to force his shot against Lian Dao.

But under the cover of Lian Dao's big hand that covered the sky and the sun, Durant didn't even look at the basket.

He can only shoot by feel, and he has to adjust the arc of his shot.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be taken off by Lian Dao.

Then, he almost threw a three-point shot...

Durant's eyes widened. Is this guy a perpetual motion machine?

At this time, the defensive end is still airtight.

The basketball hit the front of the rim and bounced high. Lian Dao stuck in the right position, took off for the second time, and received the rebound first.

Immediately, run towards the front court!

Facing Westbrook's siege near the midfield, Lian Dao used a behind-the-back change of hands to catch or slow down and turn around to complete the breakthrough.

Westbrook suddenly felt a wind blowing past him, and he didn't even have time to react when he wanted to grab it.

"Fack!"

Seeing Westbrook being easily passed by like air, Durant cursed secretly, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

He hopes to shorten the distance between him and Lian Dao.

But when Durant ran with all his strength, he realized that his legs were not working hard at all.

In the first three quarters, facing the joint strangling of Lian Dao and Tony Allen, Durant's physical consumption was the biggest in the game.

Originally, Thunder coach Brooks wanted to replace Durant in the middle of the third quarter to rest.

However, a wave of counterattacks launched by the Knicks at that time directly made Brooks hesitate.

Now Durant can no longer keep up with Lian Dao and the Knicks.

But Durant still gritted his teeth, trying to find a way to get closer to Lian Dao.

Let alone other things, Durant and Westbrook are much better than James Harden in terms of desire to win and willpower.

The same situation happened to Harden in the first half of the third quarter.

However, he felt unable to catch up and gave up.

Harden's performance in this game is not bad, it should be said to be very good.

Especially in the first half of the third quarter, if it wasn't for Harden's three-pointer, Lian Dao would have double-teamed Durant.

But now Harden does not have a strong will to fight. It can only be said that he is more rational.

Especially in one round, he feels that he can't stop the opponent from scoring, so he will choose to give up in the pursuit and defense, preferring to keep his physical fitness until the next round.

This kind of partial rational thinking can not be said to be bad.

After all, sometimes there are green hills left, so I am not afraid of running out of firewood.

However, this also reflects the player's willpower.

You can give up the defense of this round, and then you may give up a game because you are behind by a big score in this game.

Even later, many players will regard this as a habit.

This is actually very common in the NBA, especially some big teams, when rebuilding, they will give priority to cleaning up a batch of old fritters.

The reason why they were cleaned up was because they were used to giving up and losing.

One or two failures will make a player improve, but frequent failures will wear down a player's will.

Because I am used to giving up, when it is time to fight against the wind, I am likely to collapse at the touch of a finger.

Both Westbrook and Durant are single-minded people. As long as they stand on the court, they will exert their full strength.

And their desire to win and willpower are stronger.

However, no matter how strong the desire to survive is, it needs the support of the body and physical strength.

When Lian Dao passed Sefolosha, there was no one to stop him on the way forward.

However, under the obstruction of Westbrook and Sefolosha, it also gave Durant a chance to chase back and make up defense.

Lian Dao took off from the basket and prepared to dunk, and Durant also tried his best to follow suit.

Durant finally posted it anyway.

In the air, Durant took advantage of his wingspan, and the super-long arm drove the palm of his hand, waving towards the basketball in Lian Dao's hand.

However, just as Durant's palm was about to catch the basketball, Lian Dao suddenly withdrew his right hand holding the basketball high.

Then, he changed the ball to his left hand in the air, and at the same time twisted his waist and turned around in the air to avoid Durant's interference.

Durant rushed to nothing and didn't block anything.

And Lian Dao completed this beautiful 180° change of hands, turn around and buckle in the air Oh well, Sickle fought back, and still changed hands at 180°, turned around and buckled, really Incredible! "

"Until now, he can still perform such difficult moves, he looks like a... Freak!"

Kenny Smith was also shocked by Lian Dao's dunk.

He originally wanted to use a better metaphor to describe Lian Dao, but thinking of his dislike before the opening, he chose to use "freak".

"Hey, Kenny, Sickle is the God of War in New York, be careful you won't get out of Madison Garden later."

Barkley threatened mockingly.

Seeing this, O'Neill also made exaggerated movements, staying away from Kenny Smith.

It seems to mean: This is none of my business, it's all this bald man's business!
