Chapter 114: Only you and me are left

Is it Durant or O'Neal? Or Angel or Westbrook? Everyone was wondering who would score first in the second quarter, but no one expected that Matt Barnes would kill from these people.

Barnes' offense is extremely strong. Nash is not here now. Among the players, only Stedemeier and O'Neal are on the court. Matt Barnes has obviously dominated the ball as a small forward.

Terry Porter undoubtedly made Stoudemire and O'Neal the core of the offensive on the court, but Matt Barnes made a fuss to seize the Suns' offensive power.

Due to Grant Hill's comeback, Barnes, who performed well in the front, lost his position. He didn't think he was any worse than Hill. Maybe that guy was very brilliant in the past, but now, this old guy should give up his position!

Barnes seized the opportunity to prove himself. Grant Hill now has almost no breakthrough ability and can only be used as an outer turret. He doesn't believe that he will be inferior to such an old guy.

Although Barnes's own actions made O'Neal and Stoudemire very unhappy, unexpectedly, Barnes could really score today.

Although he did not play according to the tactics, Barnes still scored a lot of points with his personal ability. Facing this guy who suddenly exploded, Durant felt a little difficult.

"No one comes to pick-and-roll him, but Barnes doesn't seem to expect others to support him! He is used to yi and personally solving problems!" Since entering nBa, Barnes has been involved in six teams! In most teams, this guy who plays dirty and has a bad temper is not very popular with his teammates and coaches. He has long been used to O'Neal and Stodmeier's cold eyes.

Reliability and body forced a breakthrough through Durant, Durant's pace kept moving, but he did not dare to foul.

After breaking through to the free throw line, Barnes suddenly jumped high and stopped and jumped!

Similar to Westbrook, Barnes' shooting height is much higher than that of normal people, so he also has the same disadvantage as Westbrook, that is, his shooting is not stable enough.

But today, this guy has hit three consecutive goals, and no one will question his feel today.

It was already so deep that Durant did not expect Barnes to choose to stop and jump shot. Although he tried his best to jump and interfere, he was still a little slower.

The basketball shot by Barnes successfully exceeded Durant's long arm. The ball was very good. Barnes knew that there would be another goal in ten.

Just as the basketball flew towards the basket, a guy wearing a white jersey suddenly rushed up behind Durant, it was An Jie!

Angel jumped through Durant. He had been staring at Barnes for a long time, so when he saw Barnes preparing to shoot, Angel chose to pass by at the first time.

After crossing Durant, Barnes did not expect his shot to be blocked by the Oriental Tower.

An Jie accumulated enough energy and shot hard, and directly flew the basketball outside the three-point line!

"Oh my God! Beautiful block! Angel finished the block through Durant!"

Angel's yibao completely stopped Barnes' offensive momentum, and also sounded the Thunder's offensive horn!

Westbrook jumped and grabbed the flying basketball. Facing the empty Suns' halftime, Westbrook knew that the offensive opportunity he was best at was coming!

"Westbrook is moving forward quickly! Although the Suns are a team with extremely fast offensive rhythm, their degree is completely incomparable to Westbrook!" Mike Brynn had no chance to breathe a break by the exciting game.

Westbrook ran all the way. As soon as he stepped into the free throw line, he stumbled violently. He raised the ball with one hand and stretched his body in the air. Then he pushed the ball hard into the basket with his arms and waist at the same time.

"Oh God! Top 10 balls! The flight distance and strength are perfect! Ten! I give this dunk ten!"

Westbrook yelled at the cheering fans before he was willing to turn around and return to defense. He looked at Anjie's eyes and pointed at Anjie with both hands to show his gratitude.

Seeing that the young Thunder Third Young Master was fully in full force, Terry Porter quickly called for a timeout, and he was about to get all the main lineups on the court.

The Suns' Five Tigers made their debut again, and then they stabilized the situation with tacit offensive cooperation and tough defense. In two rounds, the Suns tied the 4-point gap.

On the third attack, O'Neal waved to ask for the ball. Angel knew that O'Neal's strength would be very sudden. He immediately stabilized the chassis and held O'Neal's fat waist with both hands.

Sure enough, Nash's breakthrough pass allowed the Sharks to launch an offensive again.

Before O'Neal received the ball, Anjie had already started to work hard, and he tried hard to push the meat mountain out. As a result, O'Neal still received the basketball without moving, but he was disturbed by Anjie and lost the offensive rhythm.

There is no way to make that sudden and quick turn again. It doesn't matter. O'Neal was slowly patting the basketball, and he was about to start hitting the back in!

Most centers of Anger's size cannot stand O'Neal's bumps, but Anger is so tough that he surprised O'Neal!

"Bang!" O'Neal still had all his strength back, and Anjie felt his entire torso numb!

After entering the three-second zone, O'Neal turned around again, this time it was a hook!

Although An Jie retreated repeatedly, he was not knocked out and lost his defensive position. The elderly shark was already slow, while An Jie, who was tense, responded quickly.

O'Neal just made a hook move, and the focused Anjie jumped up like a conditioned reflex.

The defensive height is really no worse than Yao Ming. This is O'Neal's evaluation of Anger's defense this time.

"Bang!" Before O'Neal took action, Anjie beat the basketball away. Six years ago, with the same offense and the same defense, Yao Ming got the first block on O'Neal's head in the same way. O'Neal was so familiar with this feeling, it was simply a reenactment of history!

O'Neal didn't say anything this time, no smile, no provocation. He bit his lips tightly, quickly chased him, and he began to face Anjie!

Westbrook is still the arrowhead of the Thunder's fast break, but this time Stoudemire did not get him to his wish. The interception of the Little Overlord directly knocked Westbrook out of the baseline and applied for a "rest opportunity" for yi fouls.

"Anger ended the Suns' offense with blocking again, and Westbrook seized the opportunity to complete the counterattack again. The Thunder are undoubtedly the biggest winners of this year's draft!" The two incredible rookies, the power they burst out when playing basketball is stronger than before. Angel and Westbrook are definitely a living example of yiyi greater than 2.

Looking at the ncaayi top 6 games in the past year, people may have expected the current situation. The two strongest men who are tit-for-tat in yi teams can play well even with nBa. It is precisely because they have experienced each other's strength as opponents that they trust each other more after becoming teammates.

Whether on the court or outside the court, Westbrook and Angel can already feel at ease to hand over their backs to each other. Angel knows that as long as he can complete the block, Westbrook will definitely make the Thunder counterattack fight! Westbrook does not have to shrink the penalty area. He knows that as long as he stands in a favorable position outside, the Chinese will definitely give him a chance.

After Stoudemire made another foul, his fouls had accumulated three times. Jeff Van Gundy would not let go of this information. When Westbrook made a free throw, Van Gundy waved to Durant to the sidelines, and the two whispered a few words.

"The boss said, look for Stodmeier to kill, An, if possible, I hope you can take the initiative to add a few fouls to him." Durant conveyed Van Gundy's meaning on the court. Durant and Van Gundy knew Anger's fake fall skills. Durant and Van Gundy had already understood it. When Anger used a fake fall for the first time, Durant thought Anger was really knocked down, so he went over to support Anger nervously. Now Anger fell to the ground again, Durant's support was just to cooperate with Yi to act.

After several failures and successes, Anjie has gradually adapted to O'Neal's offense. But the legendary center is always a legend. No matter how hard Anjie works, O'Neal can always find a way to score.

Even the shark-cutting tactics have lost their effect today.

O'Neal made 4 of 6 free throws in the second quarter, and this shooting percentage has already put the Thunder at a loss.

Even when facing Howard, Anjie didn't feel that he was struggling. Only when facing Yao Ming and O'Neal did Anjie be at a disadvantage. Perhaps this is the excellence of an excellent traditional center.

However, O'Neal's defense against Angel's offense did not show an overwhelming advantage. In the second half, he met Anger head-on several times as he wished. O'Neal, who was not as flexible as that of the past, no longer had fast steps or reactions, and became a pure large-tonnage meat shield-type center. Angel happened to use his softness to overcome hardness, and used his steps to drill under O'Neal's armpits with his arms raised, and got many opportunities.

O'Neal and Angel, both sides can be said to be unable to defend against each other. Now the breakthrough point that Yi can find is really the point of Stadmayer. As long as Stadmayer can be pressed on the bench, the Suns will be greatly affected both offense and defense.

O'Neal, who became serious, was still efficient in the second quarter, and the direct confrontation between Angel and O'Neal also made the audience feel refreshed.

55 to 6o, the Thunder suffered a loss in Barnes who had emerged halfway through this yi quarter. Jeff Van Gundy did not formulate any defensive strategy for Barnes at all, which was an unexpected blow, otherwise the score difference should be smaller now.

In the second half, Anjie did not organize anymore, but went to the inside to fight O'Neal.

"Why are you so active??" O'Neal knew that Angel was not the Thunder's offensive choice. He rarely appeared in the inside position. Most of the time, Durant and Westbrook had more shooting and offensive initiative.

The intention of the drunkard is not to drink. Anjie came to the inside and fought with the Sharks without any effort. The purpose was not to score, but to give Westbrook and Durant the opportunity to kill Stoudemire. As long as O'Neal can be successfully restrained, the person who defended the basket would definitely be the impulsive bully.

"The fourth foul! Stodmeier is looking for the referee to make a theory. There is nothing good about this ball. He directly shot Westbrook to the ground, and all the cameras took this scene."

After seeing this, O'Neal understood Angel's intentions, but it was too late. In order to protect Stoudemire, Terry Porter had to temporarily take him down, disrupting the regular rotation. Louis Admundson, who was beaten by Angel in the first half, was ordered to fight back. For some reason, Terry Porter didn't seem to like to use Robin Lopez. Maybe it was because Robin's performance was not outstanding during the game. But in Angel's eyes, Robin was much better than Admundson.

Now in the interior, no one will disturb Anger and O'Neal. Their performance directly determines the situation of the two teams in the interior. Whether it is Anger or O'Neal, they are major obstacles to the offensive routes of the two teams. Whoever can open the interior earlier will have the opportunity to win.
