Jump ball from both sides, Little Sabonis wins
Thunder gets the ball first.
After Westbrook controlled the ball to Frontcourt, facing Curry's defense, it was rare that he did not find Pick-and-Roll, but chose to hold the ball Isolation.
Use an in and out to connect Hesitation Dribble to break through, take one step forward, and pass by Curry.
Come to Mid-range and jump directly to make an emergency stop jumper.
Scored two points.
Chen Xi looked on with some envy.
Tmd at this speed, you don't need to do the in and out at all. Anyway, it's not misleading, and you can do it in one step.
Why bother.
Come back.
Curry hands the ball to Green, starts Off-Ball Pest, Durant lifts up to catch Isolation.
We are all old rivals, and basically all have the same tricks. The key is really impossible to guard against.
After Kd made two consecutive big changes to clear the space, the iconic Long Two pulled out his hand.
It's also an easy hit.
2 to 2
Thunder quickly advances the transition, Chen Xi catches the ball at the Three-Pointer line, facing the defense of Klay, moves one step to find Westbrook Pick-and-Roll, trying to name Curry.
But Klay quickly squeezed through the cover and flanked Chen Xi.
Temporarily letting go of Westbrook on the Three-Pointer line, Chen Xi immediately threw the ball back to Turtle Turtle, who caught the ball and shot Three-pointer pull-up jumper without hesitation.
Dang!!
Well, my turtle's Three-Pointer is indeed not that good.
Chen Xi glanced at Turtle Turtle furtively, and then retreated quickly.
After Curry slowly came to Frontcourt, Green Move up for pick and roll, Curry took one step and made Shot Fake, deceiving Westbrook's defense, and then sent the ball to Green of Roll.
Green caught the ball and took a step forward before throwing the ball to Klay on the left side of Corner. The latter used the cover of Pachulia to catch the ball and bypass Baseline to catch the ball and prepare to take action.
As a result, Referee's whistle sounded early and the attack was forced to stop.
I saw Referee gesture to the technical table, and Chen Xi committed a foul without the ball.
Everyone looked at the big screen.
While Pachulia was covering Klay, he quietly pushed his crotch outward, successfully blocking Chen Xi.
Then Chen took advantage of the height difference and bumped into Pachulia, and his elbow came into close contact with his belly intentionally or unintentionally.
Pachulia was in pain and immediately fell to the ground, clutching his stomach.
"Oh, looking at it from another angle, Chen Xi's elbow was on Pachulia's lower abdomen, which is not light at all. I wonder if Referee will consider upgrading."
Tencent Sports, the commentator watched the replay and said this out of consideration for Chen Xi.
The broadcast of Bullet Comments even hit the screen instantly.
"Hahahahahahaha! You're laughing so hard! Chen Xi elbow is so good! Keep doing this dirty thing!!!"
"Speechless fan turned negative. After watching the ball for so long, I thought he was a character, but he turned out to be a dirty guy."
"What about you changing your ID? You changed your ID before you cross. How smart is Yong Mi?"
"It's really hard to tell whether Chen Xi is deliberately retaliating?"
"It must be intentional! Dirty! Get out of the NBA! It's disgusting."
"He Off-ball Screen moved Pick-and-Roll himself. Who is to blame? He took the initiative to give his belly to Chen Xi's hands. Is this also a crime?"
"Some people, please don't be too funny. Zaza stepping in means being clumsy and careless. Chen Xi bumping into someone means deliberately doing something wrong. Are you really good at double standards?"
"Zaza's stepping is wrong, and Chen Xi's elbow is wrong. I hope they play well."
"It's appeared, it's appeared! Classic Neutral Reasonable Brother, you are too sensible, what about this place and this place?"
On the playing field, after watching the replays of both sides, Referee decided to uphold the original verdict. Chen Xi committed an off-ball foul and it was not upgraded.
The main thing is that Zaza's crotch pushing action was too obvious in the replay. He was right when he was called to move to cover, but he was elbowed. After weighing it, Referee still chose the original judgment.
Kerr and Donovan expressed their dissatisfaction at the same time, and then one of them went to Referee to complain. (Three Referee in one scene)
Chen Xi, on the other hand, fell to the ground just after his elbow hit Pachulia. Then, after being helped up by Westbrook, he stood far aside, waiting for the penalty result of Referee.
His family knew about his affairs, so he must have done it on purpose.
This elbow was light, and if he had a chance to turn around, he would definitely do it again.
Not far away, Pachulia looked at Chen Xi with obvious resentment in his eyes. He was so painful that he almost vomited.
"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, so vengeful!"
I cursed silently in my heart, but I could only bear this secret loss.
Warriors attacks again, Green serves to Curry.
Curry moved two steps and then came to Top of the Key, waiting for Durant to lift up, and handed the ball to Durant again, letting him continue Isolation.
KD was not affected by the episode just now and continued at his own pace.
After taking a step, he made a big change to the left, then pulled the ball back. A Bait Buddha deceived JB's center of gravity and accelerated to break through and hit the basket.
Relying on the exaggerated pace, Dribble only needed one Dribble, Durant approached the paint area, then Three steps took off, collected the ball in the air and glided, flew past the side of Little Sabonis, and pulled the stick from the other side to score a reverse basket.
Before his Achilles tendon was ruptured, KD was extremely fast and had many finishing methods at the basket.
Thunder ball right,
Westbrook continues to hold the ball, until Top of the Key invites Chen Xi Pick-and-Roll, then he will hold up Klay and put Curry in front of Chen Xi.
Using the most suitable Isolation hand in the team to blast the opponent's perimeter defensive weaknesses has become a common trick for Thunder. Especially in the past few games, Chen Xi's perimeter Touch has been very good.
Chen Xi holds the ball and faces Curry.
The primary school student looked solemnly at the man in front of him who was chatting and laughing with him before the game.
Zaza is indeed dirty, and he knows it himself, but as a profiteer, it is impossible for him to go along with what others say and accuse his own Teammates.
He didn't approve of Chen Xi's handling method, but he didn't have the right to say anything about it.
After all, Chen Xi is just an elbow to the stomach. Apart from a little pain, it will not cause much impact, but it is a stepping stone. It will actually affect the player's career, and one mistake may cause him to fall to the bottom.
As a defender who also suffers from ankle injuries, Curry clearly knows the consequences of stepping on his feet.
Therefore, for a while, his mood was a little complicated.
However, if you think about it, you still have to defend well.
Curry worked hard to bring his attention back to the game and carefully read Chen Xi's offensive changes.
When Chen Xi held the ball, Triple Threat shook it first. After testing it, he then dropped the ball and took one step to the right Sideways Movement before accelerating the breakthrough.
When Curry reacted and tried to Sideways Movement block Chen Xi's path, Chen Xi had already passed him by half, then pulled his crotch back, Crossover Step broke through to the left again, and easily threw Curry where he was.
