The Godfather of Basketball

"Snapped!"

At this moment, a dark shadow slammed from the oblique side, slap directly, and flew Paul's shot fan to the rebound.

Ibaka!

At the most critical time, Ibaka sent the most critical block!

The ball that was covered just arrived in Harden's hand!

There was a restless scene.

Only 30 seconds left in the game.

The Thunder had one last timeout, Tang Tian didn't call, shouting on the court to let Harden go through the half court.

This is also his experience with Harden.

The regular season victory is very important, but compared to the regular season victory, the growth of the four young is obviously more important, because it is related to whether they can win the final championship this season.

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt.

At this time, the Cavaliers obviously strengthened his defense, and the entire defense centered on him.

Durant wanted a pick-and-roll, and the Cavaliers went straight to three-man defense.

When Harden saw that Ibaka was empty, he shook his hand and hit the earth.

But the ball was predicted by Artest, and the swooping bumper hit the ball. The floor ball fought for a while. The Ibaka player took the ball and gave it to Westbrook.

At this time, the Thunder had about 15 seconds to attack, and Harden greeted the ball over there.

Westbrook faced Carter at this time and did not pass the ball. Instead, he took a step and chose to make a three-pointer.

There was a restless scene.

If the goal is scored, the Thunder will go straight ahead.

Carter wasn't completely shaken away, and took a step to interfere, sealing his face directly.

Westbrook's sight was disturbed.

"boom!"

The three-pointer missed, Yao Ming received key rebounds.

With less than 20 seconds left in the game, the Thunder can only foul in advance.

Yao Ming's free throw chance.

Two free throws, the difference came to 4 points.

Tang Tian called the last timeout.

"Russell, we still have 15 seconds to attack, that is not a reasonable choice, understand?" Tang Tian was a little bit angry, and at that time, it was not time to bet on threes.

Westbrook was silent.

Tang Tian didn't have time to say more about him, picked up the tactical board and continued to arrange the next offensive tactics.

After a timeout, Harden dribble forward and the Thunder's three-pointer in the frontcourt cooperated.

At this time, there is not much offensive time, only three points and quick shots.

Durant ran away from Artest, using Ibaka's pick-and-roll to catch the ball, but before waiting for Harden to pass the ball, Carter hugged him and fouled him in advance.

Because the number of fouls has arrived, this directly sent Harden to the free throw line.

Casey followed Tang Tian for three seasons. This was to learn the essence of tactics. A foul directly destroyed the Thunder's offense.

Tang Tian shook his head helplessly. After Westbrook missed a three-pointer, the Thunder's chances were running out.

Harden made two free throws under pressure, and the point difference returned to 2 points.

The Cavaliers didn't call a timeout either. Paul still sent the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is tall and big. He reached for the ball and held it high.

The Thunder didn't have any chance to steal. They could only choose to send Yao Ming to the free throw line again.

This is also the most buggy place for the Cavaliers. As a center, Yao Ming has a low turnover rate and the key is still stable.

Yao Ming went to the free throw line again, and it was still a steady two free throws.

The points difference returned to 4 points again.

With only 7 seconds left in the game, the Thunder didn't pause. Harden dribbled to the frontcourt to grab a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Didn't make a three-pointer, Ibaka rushed to grab the offensive rebound, gave up Durant to the outside, Durant hit a three-pointer, but it was too late.

115 to 114, the Cavaliers beat the Thunder 1 point at home, winning the home opener.

Yao Ming had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Paul had 29 points and 11 assists, Carter had 19 points, Isaiah Thomas had 10 points, and Artest had 9 points and 5 rebounds.

On the Thunder, Harden had 23 points, 6 assists, 3 turnovers, Durant 24 points, 6 rebounds, Westbrook 17 points, 5 assists, 5 turnovers, Kidd 9 points, 3 assists, Ibaka 8 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, and Brown. 6 points and 10 boards.

When the final whistle sounded, there was an excited cheer from the Quick Loan Arena.

The Cavaliers also looked excited on the court, Yao Ming and his teammates high-five.

This is their fifth straight win against the Thunder since their finals last year.

The Thunder team members looked a little frustrated. After seeing it, Tang Tian shouted to gather all the players together.

"You have done a lot better than before, and the loss is also part of the season. We just just started and won the next game. OK?" Tang Tian looked around the team members.

For the Thunder, this game has seen a lot of progress. Once the break-in is done, the game will not see this situation.

The players nodded one after the other, and although they were not reconciled, they have done a lot better than last year's finals.

"OKC!" Tang Tian reached out at this time.

The team members successively reached out their hands and then overlapped them.

"Come on!"

After the match, Tang Tian attended the press conference with his three young children.

The reporter at the scene first asked some questions about Tang Tian ’s feelings after returning to Cleveland ~ www.readwn.com ~ and then began to ask questions related to the game.

"Russell's last-minute choice didn't seem so reasonable. Will it hurt the team?"

Tang Tian glanced at the reporter. It was FOX. This media has never waited to see him. This is also an opportunity to embarrass him.

"No, I believe that my players, including Russell, got a chance at that time, but he didn't throw the ball." Although Westbrook's choice did have some problems, he chose to protect him in front of the media. Player.

The reporter nodded and sat down, looking unconsciously at Harden and Durant. He hoped to find a trace of dissatisfaction in the eyes of the two, after all, everyone could see that it was not a good choice.

But Harden and Durant didn't have much emotional change.

The reporter may not know that Tang Tian pointed out Westbrook's problem on the spot.

The Thunder lost the opener, but as Tang Tian said, they didn't lose anything.

After returning to home, they cut off the Sun, the Rockets and the Mavericks, and ushered in a three-game winning streak.

In fact, the progress of Harden, Durant and Ibaka can be seen in the game.

After finishing the first month of the game, their record was 12 wins and 3 losses, which is even better than last season.

Harden's organization is more and more stable, Durant's scoring efficiency is getting higher and higher, and even Ibaka has already had the capital to fight against the other center in the low post.

It's just Westbrook. I don't know if Tang Tian's maintenance in front of the media that day gave him the wrong signal. His choice on the court is always more or less questionable.

It is also at this key point that the well-known American sports media FOX Sports published an article with an attractive title.

"James Harden is a better point guard than Russell Westbrook?"
