Start without the ball

Chapter 358 The Complete Body

Li Haoyu, who knocked Leonard down, made an emergency stop and withdrew from beyond the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he glanced at the Raptors forward on the ground.

Scotiabank Arena sounded boos all over the sky.

Li Haoyu didn't care about the slight upturn of the corner of his mouth, he stood up, raised the ball and moved his wrist.

The basketball flew towards the basket in a beautiful arc.

shuh~
Hollow into the net! 5 to 2, Li Haoyu's three-pointer stopped the boos of the home fans.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Yang Yi: "He knocked down Leonard, the top defensive player in the league. I think this GIF will be widely circulated among fans."

Ke Fan: "You must know that the winning rate of the home team in the seventh game of the finals is as high as 79%. The pressure of the away tiebreaker is unimaginable, but Li Haoyu is not afraid. He shook the core of the Raptors amidst the boos of the audience. , hit a three-pointer next to him, his mental willpower is amazing!"

Leonard, who fell to the ground, stood up with an angry expression on his face. He would never accept this kind of shame, and said to Danny Green: "Give me Lee!"

The Raptors guard nodded slightly, Leonard came to the frontcourt, took the ball at the top of the left arc, and Danny Green ran forward to pick and roll.

With the help of his teammates, Leonard dashed to the right, Li Haoyu switched over, the Raptors forward slowed down, and retreated from the three-point line with his crotch in a row, he wanted to fight back!

O'Neill: "Lee angered Kawhi. I can't bear to watch it. The Ghost Mamba is great, but this is a misplacement! The height and weight are far apart!"

Barkley: 'Kawhi is going to tear Lee up!'

On the field, Li Haoyu took a step away, lowered his center of gravity, and stood ready.

When did Leonard suffer the humiliation of being knocked down? This is the seventh game of the finals. Looking at the ghost Mamba in front of him, his mind is full of humiliation and humiliation, with anger, momentum The surge surged to the right.

With a buffer of one step, Li Haoyu reacted and slid hard beside Leonard.

The Raptors forward fought hard to the side, ready to stop and jump.

There was a sly smile on the corner of Li Haoyu's mouth. He knew that Leonard was full of anger at this time, and the Raptors forward Ferguson often used this move in singles.

When Leonard came up, Li Haoyu fell backwards.

Dip~ The referee's whistle sounded, and Leonard made an offensive foul!
There was an uproar at Scotiabank, and Leonard spread his hands and complained to the referee: "This is a normal confrontation!"

At this moment, the attack was replayed on the big screen at the scene. Leonard, who was overwhelmed with anger, subconsciously failed to control his movements. His shoulders were very obvious, and the fans at the scene were speechless.

Li Haoyu's dominant offensive and defensive performance at the beginning of the game made the four Thunder players unconsciously run towards the teammate who fell to the ground, stretching out their four arms.

Li Haoyu stood up, ran to the front court, and Thunder attacked.

Nas frowned off the court. Not only did Leonard not restrict the Thunder Arrow after the opening game, but he paid for a foul. He was afraid of Li Haoyu's ability to draw fouls. If Leonard, who was defending the Ghost Mamba, made two fouls Falling into the quagmire of fouls would not be worth the loss. To be cautious, Nas signaled Danny Green to defend Li Haoyu.

After reaching the frontcourt, all Thunder members subconsciously vacated the left space for Li Haoyu, and the Ghost Mamba received the ball at 45 degrees.

Danny Green was shocked by Li Haoyu's death in the first two rounds. This is the man who knocked Leonard down!Subconsciously take a step back to prevent breakthroughs.

Li Haoyu lifted the ball with his legs bent, and Danny Green realized that the three-pointer of the ghost Mamba in front of him was equally accurate, so he hurried forward.

Stopping the shooting, Li Haoyu accelerated and rushed straight to the basket. Danny Green had no time to adjust his footsteps due to his forward rush, and was passed by the ghost mamba.

Siakam stepped forward to defend, and Li Haoyu hit the ball through the crotch of the Raptors forward and distributed it to Adams.

boom!Aquaman dunks successfully!

7 to 2, in the opening stage, Li Haoyu shot from inside and outside and assisted his teammates. This is a core responsibility!

O'Neill: "Lee has precise shooting and now has an amazing breakthrough ability. The Ghost Mamba will become a defender's nightmare! The death change makes the Ghost Mamba put on wings, and his offense is completely sublimated!"

Barkley: "Not only that, but Lee also has an extraordinary ball intelligence. Even in a pinch, he can clearly read the defense and pass the ball to the most threatening position!"

Miller: "What's more important is that he has a tenacious competitive spirit. You must know that he will face heavy pressure in the away game of the finals. This is still a tiebreaker. Rookies can easily lose themselves under such pressure, but the scene Not only did the booing of the Ghost Mamba not get lost, he even fought bravely!"

On the field, Leonard felt tremendous pressure, and Li Haoyu, who had changed his direction of death, became a difficult problem. Not only did he fail to respond in the last round, but he even suffered a foul because of his reckless move.

On the Raptors' bench, Nas knew that Li Haoyu's fierce offensive made the Raptors players at a loss for a while, and when Leonard ran past him, he loudly ordered:
"Don't care about Li's performance, stay steady and play your own offense. There are all fans behind you, and even the whole of Canada is supporting you!"

Leonard nodded slightly, clenched his fists and came to the frontcourt. This is a tiebreaker in the finals. Nothing is more important than the supreme O'Brien Cup. He thought about his own advantages and stopped thinking about singles against Li Haoyu , Signaling his teammates to open up the space, Ferguson scored 2 points in singles with the ball.

7 to 4, the Raptors stabilized their offense. In the next game, under the leadership of Leonard, the Raptors' offense improved. They focused on Li Haoyu in defense, but the Ghost Mamba's organizational skills were also very good. The Thunder had the upper hand.

With 2 minutes and 10 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides battled 24 to 20, the Thunder led by 4 points, and Nurse requested a timeout.

Li Haoyu's outstanding performance has amazed all Thunder players. After returning to the bench, everyone stood up and gave him a high-five.

Felton: "Dame it, your death change is too fast, I think it is difficult for even the peak Tim Hardaway to shake Kawhi."

Westbrook said excitedly: "You defeated yourself!"

However, Li Haoyu didn't say a word. Attacking with the ball consumes more physical energy than his usual style of play. At this time, he was already sweating profusely, and his chest heaved violently.

After receiving the towel handed by Diallo, Li Haoyu wiped off his sweat and picked up a water glass to replenish water.

Seeing that the general's physical condition is not ideal, Donovan came to Westbrook and said: "Russell, Lee needs to rest, I will continue to send you to play in the next game, you must persevere!"

Westbrook said with firm eyes: "Coach, Li's containment made me very relaxed, and my physical condition is not bad. This is a decisive battle. Even if you let me play the whole game, I will grit my teeth and persevere!"

On the other side, on the Raptors' bench, Nurse called Van Fleet to his side: "Listen, this may be the only chance for the finals tiebreaker. This is your moment to prove yourself!"

Van Vleet beat his chest with his right hand, and Nas felt the burning fighting spirit in him.

After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the court. The Thunder's rotation was led by Westbrook, and the Raptors' lineup was led by Van Vleet and Siakam.

The Raptors attacked, Van Vleet came to the top of the arc cautiously, Ibaka approached Westbrook from the right, and the Raptors guard seized the opportunity to rush inside.

Because the quality of the screens inside the Raptors was very good, it took some time for Westbrook, whose physical fitness had declined, to get rid of the screens, and Noelle stepped forward to switch defenses.

Van Vleet saw the Thunder center switch to the front, slow down, dribble the ball under the crotch and exit the three-point line, and other Raptors players quickly opened up space for teammates.

Van Vleet wants to single Noelle!

The Raptors guard has firm eyes. Once upon a time, his dream has always been to stand on the stage of the finals. He longs to be a hero who returns home with honor!
Not paying attention to Noelle in front of him, Van Vleet stood up and shot with his wrist before Thunder's big palm came.

The orange basketball flew forward under the watchful eyes of Scotiabank fans.

shuh~
Hollow into the network!

24 to 23, Van Vleet carried the banner of the Raptors' offense when the core player Leonard was off the court!
Westbrook looked unhappy. He was ready to do his best to defend, but Ibaka's pick-and-roll didn't give him any chance. He took the basketball from Morris and moved it forward.

Westbrook saw the Raptors shrunk inside to prevent his breakthrough. This familiar scene made him unhappy.

Westbrook's shooting has always been criticized, and his teammate Specter Mamba overcame his weakness in the finals tiebreaker, making the Raptors defensive players terrified with lightning-fast death changes.

Nowadays!

He, Russell Westbrook also wants to warn the world that he has a shot!

Stand up, according to the feeling during training, at the moment when the body is most stretched, move the wrist and release.

As the Raptors shrunk their defense, Van Vleet failed to cause any interference, and the basketball flew forward through a beautiful arc.

boom!
Although Westbrook, who has never rested for a moment, has an excellent rhythm, his declining physical fitness still affects his shots after all.

The basketball bounces high on the back!Ibaka struggled to catch Noelle behind him. He was about to take off the rebound. Just as he kicked the ground with his legs bent and jumped up, one arm caught the bounced basketball and threw it back into the basket. .

It's Westbrook!
At the moment when the basketball came out of the basket, the unwilling Westbrook kicked back with his right foot with all his strength, his muscles contained terrifying strength, and rushed straight to the basket like a bolt of lightning, and completed the dunk before Ibaka !

O'Neill: "There are no cowards in the finals tiebreaker! Russell propped up the offense when the Ghost Mamba rested!"

Barkley: "Although he failed to improve his long-range shooting due to his declining physical fitness, Russell's fearless rushing scored 2 points for Oklahoma City. This is the charm of Russell, who is always high-spirited and full of passion!"

In the next game, Van Vleet relied on the double screen of the inside line to switch the Thunder inside line to the front, and completed small plays many times to help the Raptors continue to score points. The Raptors guard did not live up to Nurse's trust.

On the side of the Thunder, although Westbrook was very difficult to break through the Raptors' shrinking defense, he insisted on relying on his personal ability to force a breakthrough in a small space. Noelle and Morris create chances.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled 32 to 31, with the Thunder leading by 1 point.

After returning to the bench, Westbrook sat next to Li Haoyu, his chest heaving violently: "I'm sorry but let those damn Yankees recover 3 points."

Li Haoyu knew how fiery Van Vleet was just now, so he scored two consecutive three-pointers on the court, and the subsequent breakthrough also caused a lot of trouble for the Thunder.

Westbrook put in a lot of effort to keep the score back, pushed himself to the limit time and time again, and held up the Thunder's offense extremely hard. If Westbrook wasn't on the court and played with a pure rotation lineup, the Thunder might be overtaken by the Raptors The score is up.

Li Haoyu: "We still lead by 1 point, don't we, take the time to rest."

On the other side, on the Raptors bench, Nurse patted Van Fleet on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job! The whole of Canada will remember your contribution tonight."

After praising his favorite general, Nas picked up the tactical board and began to arrange tactics. At the same time, the TNT commentary seat was discussing enthusiastically after seeing the data.

Barkley: "Dame it, Ghost Mamba scored 12 points and 4 assists in the first quarter! 70% of the team's scoring in the first quarter was related to him."

O'Neill: "Today's Lee's death change made the Raptors' ball-holding trap defense useless. The ghost Mamba who got rid of the shackles has become a nightmare for the Raptors' defenders. Even Leonard can hardly defend his ball-holding. attack."

Pierce: "I'm thinking about one thing, do you still remember G2? Lee's play once made the Raptors very passive, but the Raptors let Kawhi stick to the defense and restricted Lee from receiving the ball. Why didn't the Raptors continue to use this tactic , even if Lee consumes Kawhi's physical energy, the Toronto team can still have an advantage in 4V4."

Miller: "Man, you have to know that the reason why Kawhi's defense can restrict Lee before is because Lee needs to completely get rid of the Raptors' defensive gate to get open offensive opportunities, but today Lee's attack with the ball, As long as you leave Kawhi a short distance, enough to catch the ball, there is no point in sticking to the defense."

Barkley: "This young man who turned out to be born has brought us too many surprises this year. He has been challenging himself and refreshing our cognition."

O'Neal: "The same is true for Kawhi. At the time of the Eastern Conference finals, everyone thought that the Raptors, who had a hard time beating the 76ers, would not be able to advance. However, he adjusted in time when they fell behind 2-0 and led the team to 4 cities in a row to eliminate Greece. The Milwaukee Bucks led by the Monster.

The Finals not only took on the heavy responsibility of the team's offense with the absolute core, but also constantly restricted the Thunder's offensive engine on the defensive end.

Although Kawhi couldn't limit Lee's performance in the first quarter, he scored consecutively on the offensive end, scoring a total of 10 points and 2 assists. Nearly half of the team's scoring was closely related to him. "

Pierce: "There is no LeBron James or Stephen Curry in this year's Finals, but the Kawhi VS Li Haoyu matchup is also very exciting.

Whether it is the Toronto Raptors or the Oklahoma City Thunder winning the championship, there must be a new king in this year's finals! "
