subsection.
The Thunder played Augustin to replace Westbrook, and Durant stayed on the court to lead the team to chase points.
The Pacers were on the full bench, and Xu Xiang and Paojiao were sitting off the court to rest at this time.
The Thunder's offense, Waiters held the ball to face CJ Myers, Durant came out and fell to a high position to ask for the ball, Waiters made a mistake in passing the ball behind, Lu Wei, who had quick eyes and quick hands, immediately judged his passing route and successfully intercepted the ball.
A quick counterattack opportunity for the Pacers!
Lu Wei held the ball for a moment, flicked his little hand, and Jokic, who had already run to the midfield, received the ball and swung past Augustin, who wanted to steal it.
2 against 1 in the frontcourt!The only Thunder team backed up in time was Durant.
Jokic winked at West, who was following up from the left, and West immediately understood. Durant was in a dilemma, but Jokic found a gap and easily scored a layup.
He didn't dare to foul this ball. If he reached out, it might be a "2+1".
The Thunder quickly served the baseline ball, Augustine used the screen, dribbled a step to aim at the basket, and shot!
"Swish"!
Successful hit!
Augustin scored as soon as he came on the field.
He is capable of three-pointers, and he made 35.4% of his three-pointers last season.
"Augustin is really easy to use, plug and play, and don't waste the opportunity to use a mobile phone." Teacher Wang said in the studio with admiration.
"Such a player should be given more playing time," Director Yang also said with a smile.
The two sides played back and forth, seemingly in full swing, but actually missed a goal. At 10 minutes and 32 seconds, the Thunder requested a timeout for substitutions, replaced Ibaka and Adams, and replaced Kanter and Collison.
The Pacers made no substitutions. 34 to 29, the Thunder are still 5 points behind.
It's hard to say who will win today, and the score hasn't been stretched too high, but the only advantage the Pacers have is the physical strength of Xu Xiang and Paojiao. They can play together later, and Durant will definitely go down to rest, and Westbrook will come up to lead the team.
With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Xu Xiang and Paojiao played together.
In the Thunder's offense, Westbrook pushed forward with the ball, but was blown away by the referee. The Turtle was very dissatisfied!
Xu Xiang secretly laughed, Westbrook would make such low-level mistakes when he had time.
The Pacers attacked. George Hill dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang didn't stick to the ball and passed the ball with a flick of his wrist.
As the defensive champion of the Thunder, Ibaka has entered the All-Defensive First Team three times in a row, and was ranked second in the DPOY selection in the 2011-2012 season!
His defensive ability cannot be underestimated.
Pickled Pepper is small and big, and he keeps tentatively stepping out in place to find the opportunity to make a shot. With a sudden force, he tricks Ibaka in a flash of a fake move, takes a step to the left, and makes a three-point shot!
"Shh!"
The ball is here!
In the Thunder's offense, Westbrook made a "Little Zombie Jumper" and returned one.
Xu Xiang took the ball to the frontcourt and faced Robertson outside the three-point line. The rest of the Pacers had been running without the ball.
The Pacers saw their move, and after Hibbert passed, Plumlee made a second pick-and-roll. At this time, Ibaka was already slow in assisting defense, and Xu Xiang calmly shot!
"Shh!"
As if the basketball is equipped with a positioning system, it hits the basket accurately!
Xu Xiang scored another 3 points!
The Thunder found Westbrook on offense. After rushing in against George Hill, they missed a backhand layup and played against the Pacers. Such a Thunder team is obviously a lot worse, unless the Thunder's second young master feels overwhelming.
The Pacers attacked, George Hill made a mid-range shot, and the rebound was protected by Adams. Adams currently has two fouls. If he survives the second quarter safely, it will not affect the second half of the game.
The Thunder pushed for a quick counterattack, and Westbrook rushed to the first place with the ball. The Pacers' defense line was not settled yet, and Westbrook saw the opportunity and scored a layup with a big stride.
The game time of the second quarter is only 1 minute and 25 seconds. The score of the two sides is 51 to 46, and the advantage is still on the Pacers side.
The Pacers are attacking, and the home fans have been yelling "Defense!" "Defense!" to cheer for the home team.
Xu Xiang passed the ball to Pickled Pepper, and the two teamed up with a hand-to-hand pass. Hibbert, who was going down, made a screen by the way, and then cut to the basket. Pickled Pepper's pass reached him in time. Adams didn't react.
53 to 46, the point difference is widening step by step.
Westbrook held the ball in a high position. After Adams screened, he wanted to imitate Hibbert and also made an air cut layup, but was interfered by the sharp-eyed Plumlee. The ball went out of bounds, and the Thunder still had the ball.
"Bang!"
It's hard.
Hibbert squeezed past Adams for the rebound, steadied it and passed it to George Hill with 40 seconds left in the first half.
Under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder has quickly settled into a defensive formation. In 40 seconds, the Pacers are about to press time.
Xu Xiang held the ball at the top of the arc and signaled his teammates to open up space for him. Pickled Jiao and George Hill fell to the bottom corner respectively. Hibbert was entangled with Adams, but Adams did not dare to move too much for fear of attracting the referee's attention. There was no one in front of Hill. The Thunder's defensive focus was still on Pickled Jiao.
For the last attack, the time passed by one minute and one second, and with 7 seconds left, Xu Xiang started to start!
This time he chose to break through from the left and forcefully charged in!
Robertson immediately judged Xu Xiang's offensive line, but he still couldn't keep up with Xu Xiang's footsteps. The Thunder's first line of defense was broken!
Ibaka on the inside line tried his best to help defend in place, Xu Xiang received the ball, kicked his legs, took off, and shot!
Found a physical confrontation with Ibaka in the air, and at the same time he threw the ball in his hand!He didn't know if the goal was scored or not, but the referee had already blown his whistle!
Defensive foul by Ibaka!
Xu Xiang's body was severely knocked to the ground by a wave of inertia, and there was a loud sound as if all the internal organs were thrown apart.
At the same time, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and under everyone's gaze, it fell into the basket, and the ball went in!
"boom!"
Ah!
Xu Xiang frowned. This time, he took the initiative to find a physical confrontation, so the protective measures in advance were also in place. There was no injury, but it was true that the fall hurt so much.
