Legendary basketball manager

And behind him, Ibaka also ran wildly.

The two are about the same height, and both are very athletic.

If you want to talk about the difference, Griffin's explosive power is still a level stronger than Ibaka!

The two followed each other all the way and soon came near the free throw line.

Ibaka knows that if Griffin is not stopped at this time, the latter will take another step forward and will take off for dunks!

Ever since, Ibaka slammed his right foot on the ground and rushed towards Griffin with all his strength.

Then he stretched out his right hand, approaching the basketball in Griffin's hands.

This time's rush can be said to fully demonstrate Ibaka's excellent defensive ability.

He has the ability to move at high speed, the timing of steals and the use of movements are also excellent enough.

But...he met Griffin this time!

In a flash, the latter protected the ball with his right hand, turned around and passed Ibaka.

And live cleanly!

Ibaka, who leaned forward, lost any hope of recovery after the steal failed.

Griffin jumped right after turning around...

"bang!"

A tomahawk slash that stunned everyone made the Toyota Center, which had been silent for a long time, burst into enthusiastic cheers again.

At 71:66, the Rockets hit a 5:0 shock wave at the beginning of the second half.

However, the Thunder generals did not panic because of this.

With the experience of chasing points in the first half, they still believe at this time that they will soon be able to overcome the Rockets' "three tricks" in the opening game.

But things backfired.

The next game suddenly became McGrady's solo show.

In the next round, Durant singled Tony Allen to no avail.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, McGrady grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

In the fast break, he passed Westbrook with a change of direction. After coming to the penalty area, he used an elegant change of hands for a layup and scored the ball under Ibaka's defense.

After 1 minute, McGrady made a comeback.

This time, he and Yao Ming played pick-and-roll tactics in the high post.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, McGrady took a step sideways and then directly pulled out the hand...

Perkins struggled to take off and interfere.

But his matchbox-like bounce is no threat to McGrady at all.

t-mac hits a three-pointer!

At 76:66, the Rockets hit a 10:0 spurt.

Thunder coach Brooks had no choice but to resort to a timeout.

"Everyone has seen that Kevin encountered a lot of pressure on the offensive end, and Tony Allen was very difficult to deal with."

"Perkins, Ibaka, you need to set up more off-ball screens to help Kevin get rid of the defense."

"Russell, increase your personal offense, you must tear a hole in the Rockets' defense!"

"James, prepare yourself. After the timeout, you will replace Sefolosha."

"Also, McGrady seems to have found the touch, and we must be more careful with his defense in the future."

"James, next you will defend him. If the effect is not good, switch immediately. Kevin and Russell can try."

......

Brooks crackled the arrangement.

It can be seen from his speaking speed and expression that he is a little anxious.

After all, the game is now in the second half, so we can't relax like the first quarter.

If the point difference cannot be narrowed in time, it will be almost impossible to replicate the wave of chasing points in the second quarter in the fourth quarter.

However, this timeout did not have any effect.

After the game restarted, McGrady continued his fiery touch.

Regardless of whether the defender in front of him is Harden, Durant, or Westbrook, there is nothing he can do about him.

In the next 5 rounds, McGrady used a pull-up three-pointer, a breakthrough layup, a post-up single, a catch-and-shoot, and a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop, and scored 5 goals in a row!

Counting the previous three-pointer and layup, McGrady has scored 7 goals in a row and scored 18 points!

And the Rockets are also in the process, establishing the victory in one fell swoop.

At this time, 6 minutes into the third quarter, the score became 89:74, and the Rockets once again led by 15 points!

This time, they didn't give the Thunder another chance to rise.

The five starters directly played the third quarter, steadily expanding the score advantage...

At 105:85, the Rockets entered the fourth quarter with a 20-point lead!

In the battle for the scoring title, McGrady relied on the 22 points he scored in the third quarter, and the total score has reached 32 points at this time.

In the second half, under the defense of Tony Allen, Durant was in no state and only scored 4 points. At this time, he scored a total of 22 points.

This means that even if McGrady scored no points in the fourth quarter, Durant would need to score 27 points in order to reverse and win the scoring title!

One can imagine the difficulty in this!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets put on the bench.

Lowry, Jeremy Lin, Tucker, Yi Jianlian and Oden all appeared on the stage.

On the Thunder's side, Durant continued to play in the fourth quarter without resting for a minute.

Playing with him are Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and Sefolosha.

This is a small lineup.

Ibaka was pushed to the five.

Obviously, Thunder is planning to make a final fight!

Meanwhile, on the Rockets' bench, George was talking to Tony Allen about defense.

Teacher Tony shared the secret of his success in defending Durant with Paojiao without reservation.

Of course, this does not mean that George will be able to learn.

After all, the two are defenders of different styles.

Tony Allen's extremely aggressive defense has natural restraint for skilled stars.

Kobe, who is as strong as his peak, also said in an interview that Tony Allen is the most difficult defender he has ever met.

And George is slender, with excellent reaction speed and explosive power, coupled with good defensive awareness, so that he can often intercept opponents' passes.

But in one-on-one defense, George's sense of pressure on the opponent cannot be compared with that of Mr. Tony.

Today's matchup with Durant is a very typical example.

Under Tony Allen's defense, Xiaoshuai didn't dare to dribble too much.

When facing George, he can make various technical moves.

"You don't have to copy my defensive style, and you can't, but you can do it as well, if not better."

"It's just that you still need more time and more games to find out the most suitable defensive method for you."

Seeing that George was a little depressed, Tony Allen spoke up to enlighten him.

............

Look back to the field.

The fourth quarter officially begins.

Lowry held the ball through half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Jeremy Lin used the screen to catch the ball outside.

After he received the ball, Yi Jianlian immediately stepped up to set up a screen for him.

The effect of Huaxia Connection is still good.

Jeremy Lin used the cover to pass Harden's defense.

After accelerating all the way to the free throw line, Brother Hao waved his hand, killed the carbine, and passed the ball back to Yi Jianlian.

Ibaka's attention was attracted by Jeremy Lin, so he didn't pay attention to the UAE who played outside.

Yi Jianlian puts his bow and arrow, and makes a decisive three-pointer...

"Shu~"

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the point difference came to 23 points!

In the transition between offense and defense, Durant was eager to score for the team, and Westbrook took the initiative to ask for the ball just after halftime.

And defending him is pj-Tucker.

Tucker's defensive style is similar to Tony Allen's.

He also started to get up before Durant received the ball, constantly using body contact to disrupt the latter's rhythm.

Finally, Adu got stuck and successfully caught the ball.

But after playing for a full 36 minutes, his physical fitness is about to bottom out at this time, and his movements are much slower.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Xiaoshuai was cut by Tucker and was almost intercepted directly.

But Durant is Durant after all.

Dragging his exhausted body, he mobilized all the functions of his body and hit Tucker with a right hand crossover!

Tucker was shaken, staggered and took a step back, and his center of gravity shifted.

But he quickly adjusted and pounced on his opponent again.

But Durant's show wasn't over yet.

Seeing Tucker pounced on him, he stepped out with his left foot and did another left-handed crossover!

This time Tucker was completely dizzy.

He turned to the right. In order to return to the defensive position, Tucker turned around in a hurry.

Durant won't wait for him.

While Tucker was circling, Xiaoshuai jumped up lightly and made a shot!

After the goal, Durant shook his right fist to cheer himself up.

1 minute later, he made a comeback.

This time, Durant chose to be on the bottom line.

After receiving a pass from Harden, he tried to hit the back twice.

But Tucker's bottom plate was rock solid, and Durant couldn't make any progress.

In desperation, he can only choose to turn over and lean back, which is extremely difficult...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and the strike went wide.

Oden jumped high, grabbed the rebound, and handed the ball to Lowry beside him.

Xiaogangpao quickly advanced after getting the ball, and suddenly stopped two meters outside the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer...

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

111: 87.

As soon as the goal was scored, the point difference instantly became 24 points!

Seeing that the game was over, Westbrook became anxious.

After dribbling through the half court, he accelerated and forced Lowry, "carrying the explosive package" and rushed into the penalty area.

Oden waited for work with ease, sank his center of gravity in the three-second zone, and welcomed Westbrook's arrival.

Westbrook is well aware of the great emperor's ability to block shots, but at this time, he is already a bit superior.

I saw him put his feet on the ground, take off vigorously, and wanted to dunk the ball in the face of Oden.

But after reaching the highest point, Westbrook suddenly discovered that Oden's pair of big hands were hanging over him, and he couldn't get over it at all!

In desperation, Guigui could only forcefully change his moves.

He tightened his stomach in the air, and the original position of the tomahawk dunk was also forcibly twisted into a pull-bar layup...

Such a reluctant shot, the result can be imagined.

The basketball bounced off the board but never touched the rim.

Ah Lian relaxed his arms, accepted the rebound, and handed the ball to Jeremy Lin.

Brother Hao bowed his head after getting the ball, and accelerated towards the opponent's half.

Along the way, Harden has followed, and Durant has tried to catch up...

But Jeremy Lin, relying on his unparalleled speed, rushed to the Thunder's half.

The Thunder's last line of defense is Sefolosha.

Without hesitation, Jeremy Lin went up to the man and scored the ball hard!

At 113:87, the Rockets continued to expand their lead.

It is worth mentioning that Jeremy's one-stop layup this time is almost exactly the same as Westbrook's layup in the second quarter.

This also made the on-site commentator--A-Smith couldn't help but lament Hao's physical fitness, thinking that he was a smaller Westbrook!

After the ball passed, Shen Fei in the stands had already confirmed that the thunder was over.

In the next few minutes, Durant and Harden each made two difficult three-pointers.

But looking back, Lowry and Jeremy Lin also made contributions respectively.

In this way, the Rockets maintained a lead of more than 20 points.

When the fourth quarter played for 5 minutes, Thunder coach Brooks finally gave up the game, called gold to withdraw, and replaced all three young players.

The game thus entered garbage time.

When the red light on the timer came on, the score was fixed at 125:105.

The Rockets sit at home and beat the Thunder by 20 points, winning their 73rd victory of the season!

In addition, although McGrady did not appear again in the fourth quarter, his 32 points still lead Durant's 30 points.

This made t-mac not only the scoring leader in this game, but also the league scoring leader this season!

The Rockets' regular season journey this season has come to an end!

............

At the same time, at the moment when the game ended, the system's cold metallic voice sounded again in Shen Fei's mind:

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the system task!"

"Task rewards are being issued, please pay attention to check..."

"......"

"......"

"Ding! The rewards have been distributed!"

The next moment, Shen Fei's mobile phone rang a text message notification tone.

He picked it up and looked at it, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

With this 20 billion US dollars, the construction of the Rockets' new stadium can be accelerated again!

In addition, those two [S-level random star skill packs] also made Shen Fei very excited.

[Now I already have three such skill packs in my hand, and it’s pointless to hoard them, why don’t I use one first...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

But for a while, he didn't think about who to use it on.

There are currently four Chinese players in the team.

Ah Lian has already obtained a skill, which is not considered for the time being.

Dayao's strength is strong, and the status quo can be maintained for now.

Then only Jeremy Lin and Sun Yue are left.

Both are defenders.

Shen Fei's positioning for them is one offense and one defense.

Shu Hao's future position in the China Men's Basketball Team is basically similar to that of Westbrook in the Thunder.

As for Sun Yue, Shen Fei hoped that he could become the gatekeeper of defense.

"Either way, let's draw first. If it comes out, I will give it to Shuhao for offensive skills, and give it to Sun Yue for defensive skills."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately called out the system in his mind and chose one of the [S-level random star skill packs].

The first is location selection.

The options inside are not limited to regular positions such as pg/sg/sf/pf/c, but also special types such as shooting guard swingman, 3D player, fourth and fifth position swingman.

Shen Fei thought for a moment, and chose "Swinger".

After all, both Shu Hao and Sun Yue are big guards, and both of them are capable of playing point guard or shooting guard.

Of course, being able to fight is being able to fight, how well you play is another matter.

Then Shen Fei opened the skill package.

The next moment, a box appeared in front of Shen Fei's eyes.

The box was opened, and a ball of light emerged.

Then, the ball of light began to play like a revolving lantern, showing images of various shooting guards in NBA history.

Glove Payton's steal, Iverson's crossover, "Penny" Hardaway's back hit...

As time goes by, the picture is played more and more open, and finally it is difficult to see what is being played.

"Ding!"

The picture finally freezes, and a figure stands in the brilliance!
