Chapter 160 The Turtle is Bloodthirsty, Wang Chao is Sharp!
Push all the way and pull it up directly, regardless of McGrady's feelings, just throw it on his head, and it still hits.
Westbrook's playing style is so strong and domineering.
And precisely because of his domineering playing style and the appearance of a god-level tortoise, the title of "God Turtle" was given to this man.
Obviously this is a compliment.
Immediately after
Westbrook carried McGrady and broke through his defense with speed. Although McGrady was closely behind him, Westbrook was still very fast and went straight to the basket.
Facing the defense of McGrady, Lopez and Damai, he didn't panic at all. He made a quick layup and changed hands in mid-air, avoiding all three of them's blocks.
In the end, he only made a physical confrontation with Lopez in the air, made a layup with a low hand, and put the ball into the basket.
"Wow!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the stadium.
Westbrook went to the basket one-stop, and his speed continued unabated. Facing the three-man defense of the Nets, he smashed the basketball into the basket from the gap.
This ball is very difficult!
This ball is really domineering!
After the goal was scored, Westbrook pouted, glared at the three of Lopez viciously, and then locked his eyes on Wang Chao.
Wei Wei raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him arrogantly, as if to say: "See, this is my strength, the absolute strength to crush your Nets."
Wang Chao glanced at him a little bored, and ignored him directly. Wang Chao's mentality was full of attributes, and obviously he would not be disturbed by an attack or a look from Westbrook.
"After the timeout, Westbrook's offense became more aggressive."
"That's right, but isn't this the Westbrook we are familiar with?"
Netball rights.
McGrady controlled the ball for half the court, and he was already defending Westbrook very seriously, but the latter's physical talent is so good that there is really no way to limit it.
After all, this is no longer the era when he was at his peak. Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see their gray hair.
But since you can't defend, then attack well.
At the top of the arc on the left, McGrady and Lopez formed a high pick-and-roll. McGrady bypassed Westbrook's defense and wanted to break through the inside line on the right, but Millsap came back to defend.
McGrady immediately split the ball to Wang Chao who made an air cut to his side.
Wang Chao caught the ball and went straight to the inside, flying up with Green on his shoulders, but instead of a layup, he split the ball and passed the basketball backwards in mid-air.
"Snapped!"
Morrow on the right baseline receives the ball.
"It's a pass!"
Collison yelled, and Millsap, who was next to Morrow, didn't realize that Wang Chao would choose to pass the ball. He froze for a moment and didn't move.
"Shh!"
With the hand up and down, the three-pointer pierces the needle!
Thunder possession.
Westbrook hit McGrady from a high position on the right side, with great strength and explosive speed, but the 31-year-old McGrady couldn't defend at all.
"tread!"
Morrow immediately shot out from the left side of Westbrook and stepped forward to make up the defense, but Westbrook smiled back immediately.
"Snapped!"
The basketball passed through Morrow's body and was given to Millsap at the top of the arc on the right. The latter was ready to catch and shoot the moment Morrow went to help defend.
"Oops, can't keep up."
Morrow yelled inwardly, and his sneakers screeched against the floor. He wanted to go back and stop Millsap, but it was too late.
Millsap jumped up immediately after receiving the ball, and opened his hand to throw a three-pointer.
The pose is picturesque!
"Bang!"
But with a little more force, the ball bounced out of the frame, and both Lopez and Collison, who were fighting hand-to-hand under the basket, jumped up to fight for this rebound.
Four big hands, fighting in mid-air, grabbed towards the basketball.
But just when their palms were about to touch the basketball, another hand appeared in the air, even above their palms, and grabbed the basketball first.
who is it? !
"Westbrook!"
Collison was ecstatic.
"boom!"
Slamming the basketball into the basket fiercely, the heavy slam dunk sounded extremely rough.
"Wow!"
There was another burst of boiling sound on the field, all screaming from Westbrook fans.
"Westbrook's ball is also very difficult."
"Hey, this guy is insane for making rough dunks in front of two center forwards."
Westbrook himself yelled excitedly for this supplementary deduction, and then he was even more out of control.
At the top of the arc in the middle, Westbrook signaled for a pick-and-roll. Collison stepped forward to perform a high pick-and-roll. Because he has a mid-range scoring method, Lopez could only step forward and stare at Collison.
And Westbrook followed Collison's cover, made a breakthrough on the left, and then suddenly changed direction with his crotch, breaking to the right, directly deceiving McGrady and Damai who was defending.
"Shh!"
Westbrook hit the free throw line in one step, facing the empty front, his speed skyrocketed again, and he hit the basket with one step, and the whole person flew up like lightning, holding the ball with both hands, raising it over his head, and smashing towards the basket.
The speed was too fast, and Lopez at the basket didn't even have time to take off.
"boom!"
Dunking with both hands, Westbrook smashed the ball into the basket extremely violently. The force was so great that the moment Westbrook let go, the entire basket was shaking.
"Ohmygod, Westbrook's split button is too brutal!"
"Oh hey, he's ravaging the basket, he's so domineering, so domineering!".
"Westbrook ravaged the rim one after another, fully demonstrating the momentum and strength of the "favourite" Thunder team. The Nets, which originally had a lead of 7 points, only led by 1 point in a blink of an eye. The Nets have to make a show."
"Yes, if Westbrook continues to explode, no one can stop him. If this guy is in good condition, he can accomplish anything."
"Yes, while the Nets keep scoring, they must limit Westbrook's performance."
"Smith, I think the Nets can limit Westbrook. It seems that Wang Chao is the only one. I am looking forward to when these two guys will face off."
"I'm also looking forward to it, and it's not just us, all the fans are looking forward to it."
Yes.
Barkley is right, everyone wants to see the matchup between Wang Chao and Westbrook, and really wants to see the head-to-head confrontation between the two leading stars.
Nets (25): (24) Thunder.
The Nets retain a one-point advantage, with the last 2 minutes left in the first quarter.
Netball rights.
Wang Chao took possession of the ball for halftime.
The current momentum on the court is obviously suppressed by the Thunder. Wang Chao must stand up at this time to help the team regain morale.
The top of the middle arc.
Bang bang bang!
Wang Chao held the ball in his right hand, and the basketball hit the floor with a heavy sound, but the fire on the court was just because Wang Chao was holding the ball, just because he was Wang Chao.
"I'll stick to you like a jellybean and never give you a chance."
Green bent down and stared at Wang Chao, his desire to defend was extremely strong, and defending Wang Chao would give him a sense of accomplishment.
Wang Chao glanced at him lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"why are you laughing?!"
Green stared and shouted.
Wang Chao dribbled the ball with his back and hands at will, and said with a light smile: "Too many people want to guard me, but...they can't do it. Durant is a good example, he can't do it, Is it possible for you~?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you have the ability to throw the ball into that basket!"
Green stared at Wang Chao more seriously, and put his hand in front of him, as if he was about to snatch the ball from Wang Chao's hand in the next moment.
"Then come!"
"Snapped!"
Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, Wang Chao held the ball in his left hand, lowered his body, and rushed to the left.
"Tap Tap!"
"Breakthrough on the right or a fake move?"
Green's pupils dilated suddenly, and he stepped on the floor several times in small steps, and his brain was thinking about the direction of Wang Chao's breakthrough.
But right now.
"Shh!"
Wang Chao, who seemed to break through from the left, suddenly pulled up.
Yes.
Wang Chao, who was at the top of the arc in the middle, faced Green's defense without any fancy dribbles.
The basketball slid across his fingertips, drew a graceful arc in the air, and spun towards the basket.
"Shh!"
A crisp piercing sound sounded.
Wang Chao hit a three-pointer.
"Wow!"
"It was a three-pointer, it turned out to be a three-pointer, Wang Chao hit a three-pointer!"
"My goodness!"
All the audience opened their mouths wide, stunned by Wang Chao's hollow three-pointer.
The surprise was not that Wang Chao hit the three-pointer, but that he actually made the three-pointer.
"It's not that Wang Chao didn't shoot [-]-pointers in the last few games, but his shooting percentage was extremely low. Everyone understands that Wang Chao is just an open [-]-point shooter, and his ability to defend [-]-pointers is not good!"
Although no one said this sentence clearly, it seems to have become a well-known topic.
Before this battle, in the 7 regular season games that Wang Chao participated in, he averaged 30+ horrible points per game, but none of these points came from 1 points.
Yes.
Not even 1 point.
In the entire 7 games, Wang Chao did not make more than 3 3-pointers.
Therefore, in the inherent impression of many people, Wang Chao does not shoot 3 points, even the head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks, thinks so.
Of course, he will not be so stupid as to empty Wang Chao's 76-pointers like the coach of the 3ers. Instead, he will let Green pay more attention to Wang Chao's 3-pointers and focus more on breakthroughs and mid-range defense.
This is one of the reasons Green is completely careless.
"Wang Chao, you did a great job!"
Lopez stepped forward and touched Wang Chao's head, and walked towards the frontcourt excitedly. Morrow also looked excited and shouted at Wang Chao: "Strike!"
The four players on the field were all very happy for Wang Chao's 3-pointer, and their morale also increased a lot.
After all, once Wang Chao has the three-point shooting ability, not only his own scoring ability will be instantly enhanced, but the threat level on the court will be much stronger.
The atmosphere in the arena was ignited again.
Because an ordinary 3-pointer ignites the atmosphere on the field, such a thing is rare, even if it is described as rare, it is not an exaggeration.
But, at this moment, it did happen.
Seeing this, Westbrook was suddenly unhappy.
"It's just a three-pointer, so what?"
Westbrook controlled the ball for half the court, and in the midst of the noise on the court, he rushed to the basket, carried Lopez, and made a large hook. The ball was a little short.
Wang Chao grabbed the rebound.
Netball rights.
Wang Chao grabbed his own. He didn't expect that his own 3 points would have such a good effect, so he simply made another one.
At the top of the arc on the right, Wang Chao received Lopez's high screen, and once came to the top of the arc in the middle, without thinking, he threw a three-pointer.
Too bad it's too short.
Wang Chao now has a 3-point shooting ability, and it is more than 5%, so it is not surprising that the previous goal can be hit, and it is only natural that he has not hit it now.
"It's a pity!"
Wang Chao still felt a little regretful, after all, the opportunity came up.
If it weren't for trying to mobilize the team's momentum in one go, the king of the ball would take a step forward, and the two points would be more stable.
But basketball is like this, you can never hit 100%, all you can do is try to make every shot.
Thunder possession.
When the audience was still thinking about Wang Chao and missed a three-pointer, Westbrook had reached the free throw line and pulled it up again, but McGrady couldn't see it this time.
"tread!"
McGrady, who is 2 meters tall, jumped high after successfully reading the defense, and the pressure on Westbrook with his long arms was really not small.
"Shh!"
Westbrook scored the ball decisively, and Millsap hit the ball on the left, went to the basket, and hit the board.
There are 10 seconds left in the first quarter.
Wang Chao dribbled the ball across half court unhurriedly, and completely controlled the final attack of the first quarter in his own hands.
At a distance of one meter away from the top of the arc in the middle, and at the last second of the time, facing Green's defense, he held the ball and then shot. .
Facing Green's defense, Wang Chao shot the last ultra-long three-pointer in the first quarter at a distance of 1 meter from the three-point line.
1 second is enough time to shoot.
In order to avoid fouls, Green only jumped up and interfered symbolically, and did not block the block with all his strength, but he absolutely did not believe that Wang Chao could hit this 3-pointer.
In other words, he never thought that Wang Chao could make a hit.
Turning his head leisurely, looking at the ball spinning in the air, waiting for the sound of iron striking, and the next moment, he froze in place.
"Shh!"
The crisp piercing sound made his heart tremble violently.
In the widened pupils, the ball swished into the net and hit the buzzer!
"Oh!"
"Nice!"
Almost as soon as the basketball entered the hoop, thunderous cheers erupted in the stadium.
"nice shot!"
"Wow, what a magical kid, he actually got hit."
Smith and Barkley were so surprised that their mouths opened into an "O" shape. They were obviously very surprised that Wang Chao could hit this difficult 3-pointer at the buzzer.
"Wow, Wang Chao is amazing!"
Qiao Sixiu, who was sitting behind the basketball hoop, jumped up excitedly the moment the basketball entered the basket.
And this scene was also seen by Wang Chao, who raised his eyebrows at Qiao Sixiu, as if to say: Look, I said a long time ago that my basketball skills will be very strong.
Qiao Sixiu opened her eyes wide, smiled at him, and gave her a thumbs up, shaking it constantly, praising him for the three-point buzzer.
And far away in a high-end villa in Los Angeles, Scarlett saw Wang Chao hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, jumping up and down happily, completely losing the aloof temperament that a goddess should have.
Seeing Scarlett's state, manager Sai Li shook her head slightly, and couldn't help sighing: "Love is terrible!"
Nets (31): (28) Thunder.
At the end of the first quarter, the Nets temporarily took the lead by 3 points.
Wang Chao made 7 of 5 shots and scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, which was as explosive as ever.
The Thunder's Westbrook made 10 of 5 shots and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, which is also in line with his second-in-command level.
The second quarter begins.
For the Nets, Morrow, Damai, Tracy McGrady and two other substitutes played again, while for the Thunder, Millsap and Durant played with three substitutes.
Generally speaking, at the beginning of the second quarter, only Harden played with a substitute, but Durant was directly pressed on the bench in the first quarter, so he was allowed to play in the second quarter.
Almost at the moment of the start of the game, the gap between the powerful team and the weak team was immediately apparent.
The Thunder has three giants, Westbrook, Harden and Durant. Any one of them alone has the ability to support the team, while the Nets. Morrow is obviously not satisfactory.
In other words, for a powerful team, any starter can play high-quality games with a substitute.
Because it is completely possible to fight around him.
With only 5 minutes of bench time, Millsap scored no matter whether it was a three-pointer from the outside or a kill from the inside, and even organized the pass.
Even Durant, who feels cold, faced the Nets' substitutes and used his physical advantage to succeed several times.
On the Nets side, no one can stand up and give a tough response. To put it bluntly, they don't have the ability to play singles with the ball like a star.
Fortunately, Morrow and Damai played well, and it would not make the substitutes get beaten.
Nets (42): (46) Thunder.
In 5 minutes, after a timeout at the foot of the Nets, the Thunder overtook the score and led by 4 points.
After the timeout, the Nets started the lineup, and the Thunder also started, but Millsap took a rest and replaced forward Ibaka, while Durant continued to stay on the court.
The game continues.
Netball rights.
Morrow took possession of the ball across the half court, took it to the top of the arc in the middle, forced Ibaka, hit the free throw line but failed to get rid of Ibaka, and gave the ball to Wang Chao, who was high on the right.
"Snapped!"
Wang Chao received the ball and faced Durant's defense, stepped forward with his left foot, made a breakthrough posture, and then held the ball to make a shooting posture.
Two consecutive tentative steps directly sent Durant flying.
Wang Chao hit the basket in an instant, made a small throw, put the ball into the basket steadily, and scored two points.
Wang Chao played and saw results immediately, scoring in the first attack.
Durant, who had previously suppressed McGrady to a pointless point, was being played around by Wang Chao at the moment.
"Damn boy!"
Durant trembled with anger.
At first he thought he had regained his form, but he still couldn't guard Wang Chao.
Did I take the wrong medicine today? How could my body be so weak?
"Snapped!"
Durant held the ball at the top of the arc in the middle, and center Collison stepped forward to cover and lock Wang Chao. Durant took the opportunity to enter the penalty area from the left, but Damai had already seen through this pick-and-roll trick.
"Snapped!"
Damai appeared directly in front of Durant, his eyes were concentrated, he reached out and tried to break the basketball in his hand, but Durant dribbled the ball and turned around, leaning against Damai with his back, and at the same time stretched out the basketball in his hand.
"Shh!"
Westbrook suddenly appeared, took the basketball and went to the bottom line on the left. McGrady was stuck by Durant and failed to catch up with Westbrook.
"Durant passed the ball?!"
Damai was taken aback, but fortunately his reaction was not slow, he immediately took a step forward and switched to defend Westbrook.
Damai's footsteps are very slow, so even if he keeps up, he is still half a body behind Westbrook, and Westbrook is sure that Damai is weak in jumping.
With his back to the basket, Westbrook directly chose to turn over and take a fadeaway jumper.
"Damn it, it's too late to seal it!"
Damai was anxious and hated why he couldn't go faster.
However.
Just as Westbrook turned around and jumped facing the basket, a figure suddenly rushed out from Damai and Lieutenant General Durant.
This person is Wang Chao.
Wang Chao, who rushed out, flew up first, and the moment Westbrook jumped up, a big palm came down from the sky, and slapped the basketball above Westbrook's head fiercely.
"boom!"
The brutal force directly flew the basketball fan to the spectator seats, and Westbrook, who was leaning back, also fell to the floor under this force.
PS: I don’t want to divide the chapters. As for why I didn’t write about Durant, I feel that the other big words are almost the same, so let Adu be out of order for a while!
