Start without the ball

Chapter 63 Critical Moments
When Li Haoyu returned to the bench, the reckless man ran over and bumped his shoulders. Fortunately, he had reminded Mr. Gui to be calm when bumping his shoulders, and Mr. Gui didn't use too much force.

Donovan came up and said:

"You did a good job. Next, D'Antoni should switch back to the main lineup. The rest will be left to Russell and the others. Take a good rest."

After speaking, pick up the tactical board and arrange it.

Li Haoyu sat on the bench and added water.

Grant: "I didn't expect it to work."

Li Haoyu: "Haltenstein's scoring mostly comes from the roll after the screen. He has a mid-range shot, but he is not so stable that he can hit every time. He is not a professional mid-range shot insider like Horford."

Grant: "Gordon is going to be pissed that he didn't get the ball in 2 minutes."

On the Rockets' bench, the great scoring momentum was blocked by a certain old Yin B. The round-faced Deng covered his gloomy face with a towel, and was in autism.

The timeout passed quickly, and the main players of both sides returned to the field.

Rocket attack.

Paul held the ball at the top of the arc, called Capela for a pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to rush to the basket.

Patterson came up to defend, Paul cleverly slipped the ball from Patterson's armpit to Ennis.

Ennis made a layup.

91:84.

After the main force came on the field, the Rockets maintained their scoring momentum.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook came to the frontcourt and saw Adams stuck Capela in the low post and lobbed the ball.

Adams held the ball, waited for Ferguson in the corner to run away with the defender, and dribbled the ball to top Capela two steps.

Capela couldn't bear to resist, and backed away again and again.

Adams came to the three-second zone, turned to the line, and hit the hook.

91:86.

Adams' hook is among the top among active centers. His huge palms help him firmly grasp the basketball and make his shots extremely stable.

In the next game, Harden continued his offensive momentum, and Paul and Capela's pick-and-roll also caused a lot of trouble for the Thunder.

On the offensive end, Adams can put a lot of pressure on the Rockets, George gradually found his hand, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The point difference has been maintained at around 5 points

With 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the game, the two sides battled 108 to 104, and Donovan dispatched Li Haoyu and Grant, who were both physically fit.

Brother Wan thought very clearly, since Ferguson couldn't defend against Harden, it's better to replace Li Haoyu with stronger offensive ability, as long as he scores more points, he can recover the point difference.

Thunder attack.

Seeing Li Haoyu landed in the left corner, Westbrook took the ball to 45 degrees on the same side.

Greeting Adams for the pick-and-roll, Adams blocked the left side, Westbrook turned on the nitrogen to accelerate, and the leg muscles burst out with terrifying strength, rushing to the inside.

Harden, who was in the bottom corner, let go of Li Haoyu and quickly shrank to the inside, trying to interfere with Westbrook's breakthrough.

Westbrook distributed the ball to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu took advantage of the situation and made a three-pointer.

"boom"

I just played, and there is no running activity, my hands are a little cold, and I have hit the iron.

Westbrook didn't return to defense after seeing the iron strike, and accelerated towards the direction where the basketball fell, grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Li Haoyu again.

Everyone was watching Westbrook who got the rebound, and Li Haoyu was still open.

There was enough time this time, so he slowed down and gently pulled the ball out of his fingertips.

"Shu~"

Li Haoyu lived up to Westbrook's offensive rebounds.

108 to 107, the Thunder are only 1 point away.

When Li Haoyu ran to the backcourt, he high-fived Tie Gui who was back on defense.

Although Tie Gui rebounds the backcourt, but with his excellent physical fitness, the frontcourt rebounds are actually ranked among the top guards.

Rocket attack.

Harden holds the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, and dribbles continuously under the crotch to tease Li Haoyu's defense.

Li Haoyu will not step forward as easily as Ferguson, and he is still one step away from Harden.

Seeing that Li Haoyu did not respond, Harden suddenly retreated after dribbling, lowered his center of gravity, looked up at the frame, and the non-ball holder slowly approached the ball holder.

Li Haoyu hurried forward to block, Harden's shooting feint successfully deceived Li Haoyu's center of gravity, and instantly accelerated to throw Li Haoyu away.

Came to the basket, facing Adams' supplementary defense, took a sharp step to the right.

Adams moved the center of gravity, Harden took the second step to the left, and the European stepped past Adams and made an easy layup.

110:107.

Li Haoyu really has nothing to do with Harden. Fortunately, he scored 2 points. If he scored another 3 points, would he be able to defend against the porcelain mamba?

Well, it's definitely okay to think so.

Mathematics genius Li Haoyu ran forward, thinking about how to move.

Westbrook advanced with the ball and saw that the point difference was only three points away. As the boss of the Thunder, he should stand up and take over the game at this time.

Yes, a hard shot to tie the difference!
Westbrook came to the top of the arc and faced Paul.

Afraid of the tortoise's breakthrough, Paul put it in a relatively large position, and the iron tortoise rose from the ground, relying on its strong core strength to stabilize its figure in the air, aimed at the basket, and shot.

Appeared!Westbrook's unique stunt zombie jumper.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and flew to the basket
delay.

"Bang~"

Westbrook wanted to stand up and save the Thunder from the heat with a tough three-pointer, but the scene where the fans stood up and cheered did not appear.

After returning from injury, his muscle strength is far from what it used to be. There will always be something missing in his shooting, and the zombie jump shot has also become a zombie iron shot.

Adams wanted to grab the rebound, but unfortunately the basketball fell too far away from him.

After Capela firmly protected the rebound, he handed the ball to Harden, and Li Haoyu fouled immediately.

Only 15 seconds left.

Donovan called for a timeout, trying to struggle.

After returning, Ci Mamba made two free throws steadily, locking the score at 112 to 107.

George's three-pointer also missed, the Thunder's momentum was gone, there was no more resistance, and the game was over.

The Thunder's winning streak was ended by the Rockets.

In this campaign, Harden performed extremely well, scoring 43 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. It can be said that he broke through the Thunder's defense alone.

李浩宇此役13投11中，三分球7投5中，拿下27分2次抢断。

After the game, Westbrook was criticized by netizens for his hard-headed three-pointer at a critical moment, and the turtle slaughter meeting was arranged.

Meow.

"When will Tie Gui become more mature and insist on shooting three-pointers by himself? Doesn't he know that his current three-point shooting rate is only 28.3%?"

"Thanks to my brother Yuzi trying his best to recover the point difference, doesn't Tie Gui know how to find the most accurate three-pointer at the critical moment? Even if you don't wait for Brother Yuzi to move, you can still give the ball to George."

"Really, both Li Haoyu and George have proved themselves at critical moments this season, only Tie Gui has been making mistakes."

"So muscular and simple-minded."

"mmp, my brother Yuzi's winning streak was lost by the iron turtle."

"Looking at the former Thunder's three young players, Durant and Harden can play their own roles. Only Westbrook is still immersed in statistics, and he even made a strong shot."

　I didn't push it next week, I was autistic, I really didn't expect this to happen.Friends, if you have a book list, can you include it, it’s really impossible if you don’t do something.
