In the first quarter of the game, both sides maintained good efficiency.
Nets's Defensive strategy is not particularly effective, but fortunately, Davis's Touch has declined somewhat. When Mid-range's projection is abnormal, the firepower becomes less fierce.
And Russell relied on outside shooting to stabilize the team's offense in the first quarter.
After the first quarter, Thunder 33 led Nets by 4 points 29.
Then at the beginning of the second quarter, the direction of the game immediately shifted.
Thunder Bench lineup, led by Chen Xi, suddenly broke out.
Seth·Curry, two consecutive balls Three-Pointer hit.
Then Jeff·Green and Chen Xi cooperated tacitly, relying on Chen's defensive containment, four consecutive Backdoor Cut, and made three of four shots.
Thunder took only four minutes to open the score to 45 to 34, a score difference of 11 points.
Moreover, after the short climax passed, the players' condition did not decline much.
It wasn't until Chen Xi left the field eight minutes into the second quarter that the situation slowly returned to normal.
But Davis and Alexander are still on the court at this moment.
Therefore, Thunder easily maintained the point difference.
At halftime, Thunder led 64 to 49, entering Second Half with a 15-point difference.
Chen Xi's new badge has a very significant effect.
The small outburst of role players is inseparable from this.
At the end of the halftime break, both sides returned to the court.
Nets was obviously not satisfied with the performance in the first half.
Paul·George is also a proud person at heart and has high expectations for himself.
In the first half, George only made 3 of 7 shots and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. In his own opinion, he was obviously unqualified.
Then after entering Second Half, George will inevitably increase its shot proportion.
Third Quarter first attack, Nets serves.
Russell dribbles the ball past Midcourt Line and then plays the ball directly to PG.
George holds the ball at a 45-degree angle, waits for Davis to lift up the screen, and then moves directly to Three-Point Shot.
Basketball hit the back edge of Basket, but the angle was good and the rebound fell into the frame.
Three-Pointer hits.
The first attack was a crisp Top of the Key Pick-and-Roll dry pull.
Thunder is not showing any weakness here either.
Alexander holds the ball outside Isolation. Facing Dinwiddie's defense, Crossover Step quickly breaks through and enters Mid-range against Dinwiddie's body. Then he quickly turns around and Fadeaway Jumper takes action.
Basketball bounced on the frame twice and fell into the net obediently.
George Baseline caught the ball and brought it to Frontcourt. After passing the logo, Joe Harris On-ball Screen.
After George passed the screen again, Three-pointer pull-up jumper took action.
Huh~~
Come on!
This time it's even hollow.
"Jerami, his Touch is up, the speed of squeezing the screen should be accelerated."
Attacking again, Chen Xi ran past Grant. After a brief instruction, he came to Top of the Key to catch the ball.
Another outside line Isolation Paul·George, Chen Xi Fast Between-the-Legs Crossover, Hesitation Dribble breakthrough, rely on speed to rush After entering the Three-Pointer line, connect an emergency stop and pull back, then Push Dribble Change of Direction, Secondary Acceleration break through, widening the distance from George.
After entering Paint, take off quickly, fold your body in the air, and pull the lever to reverse the basket.
Basketball bumped the frame twice and the frame popped out.
The interference quality provided by Allen is still very sufficient.
Nets Fight back quickly.
Russell dribbled the ball past Midcourt Line and then made a long pass.
Paul·George, Free-Throw Line took one step inside, jumped to catch the ball, and dunked alley-oop.
Beng!!!!
The posture is stretched and full of strength.
This dunk perfectly demonstrated the talent of George Offensive End.
Beep!!
Donovan shouted out Timeout.
Chen Xi's response shot failed, but Nets launched a counterattack.
At this time, you need to control the rhythm of the game.
After the short Timeout, both sides returned to the field.
Thunder attack.
Chen Xi received the pass at Midcourt Line's position, turned around and faced George, and did not rush to attack.
After Davis On-ball Screen, Chen Xi started to break through. After bypassing Davis's thick body, the road ahead was smooth.
Chen Xi dribbled the ball into the Three-Pointer line, faced another Davis who came forward Hedge, and made an emergency stop jumper.
Basketball fell into the net smoothly.
The movement speed of the other Davis is much slower. The interference it can provide is very small, and it does not pose any threat to Chen Xi.
Timeout's first attack came back, and Pick-and-Roll's cooperation between the two cores easily completed the finish and stabilized the situation.
Returning to the defensive end again, Paul·George continued to control the team's offense.
After receiving the pass from Russell at the Top of the Key position, facing the defense of Grant, he quickly dropped the ball to break through, and passed Grant into Interior.
But within two steps of entering, I was surrounded by Brow.
George immediately jumped out of the ball upon seeing this.
Chen Xi jumped out diagonally, intercepted George's pass with quick eyes and quick hands, and then flew towards Frontcourt.
Single player Fast Break!
Chen Xi dribbled the ball to Free-Throw Line, took two steps, jumped up, and faced Basket!!!!
A mediocre two-handed dunk.
After completing the end, Chen Xi ran back to Backcourt with an expressionless face.
"I was originally thinking that before the steal attribute is added up, there are not many opportunities for this kind of dunk, so I can not click it yet!!! Can the system clean up some!! I want to add bounce and Layup!!!"
[No such feature]
Chen Xi There is no emotion on his face, but his heart is already bleeding with heartache.
What a great opportunity to show off! I've missed it so many times!!
Damn!!!!
Chen Xi's psychological activities have been put aside for the time being. At least the team Timeout has produced good results on both offense and defense after returning.
Maybe Defensive strategy made a good choice, or maybe it was Possession's defense that successfully interrupted George's rhythm.
In short, in the next few Possession attacks, PG failed to show the strong offensive level at the beginning of the quarter again.
Naturally, Nets is unable to chase points anymore.
After more than half an hour, the game ended.
Thunder defeated Nets 110 to 103, winning another victory and stabilizing his position as Western Conference first.
Chen Xi made 13 of 21 shots from the field and scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.
Davis made 13 of 18 shots and scored 29 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists.
Alexander made 4 of 11 shots and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.
The team is still on the right track.
Donovan even feels that Westbrook can make a comeback without being in a hurry.
On the other side, Chen Xi and George shook hands and communicated after the game.
"Excellent performance, Chris. Every time I meet you, I can really feel your progress."
"Thank you, you are great too."
"Hahahaha, it's a pity that I still lost. I will fight back next time!"
"Your challenges are always welcome. I may lose, but Thunder will not."
After Chen Xi hugged George again, he turned and walked to the locker room.
PG went in the direction of Westbrook and continued his social activities~~
