McGee and Pau Gasol's jump ball.
Thunder Team won the ball easily.
Westbrook dribbled the ball to Frontcourt. Facing the old Parker's defense, he didn't even call Pick-and-Roll. He didn't give him any respect. Start suddenly, rely on speed and Contact, push Parker into Mid-range, and then directly Mid-range jump shot.
Basketball hit the board and bounced into the net, easily scoring two points first.
Spurs attack.
After Parker held the ball to Frontcourt, he looked for Pick and Roll Screen of Aldridge. After breaking through Interior, he turned around quickly and avoided Brow Help defense. Then he jumped up and finished with a low hand Layup.
Although he is 37 years old, old Parker's unique skill of turning around is still very threatening.
Fast speed, good rhythm and stable finish.
Even Brow passed by him without paying attention.
However, the current Parker's body may not be able to support him playing like this for a whole game.
As the last remaining member of the former GDP, there is a high probability that he will not be able to play for long, especially now that he has conflicts with the new stars in the team.
Although the team dealt with this coldly and tried to ease the conflict between the two, it was obvious that treating the symptoms did not address the root cause.
As long as Leonard continues to take frequent breaks, the core conflict between the two cannot be resolved.
Perhaps, retiring at this point is also a plan.
After all, he is already 37 years old.
Back to the game, Thunder reorganizes the attack.
After Westbrook takes the ball to Frontcourt, look for Pick-and-Roll of Davis at Top of the Key.
After bypassing the cover, quickly walk inside and face Aldridge Help defense quickly change direction and then Layup.
After Contact in the air, Westbrook throws the ball.
Basketball bounced twice in the frame, but it still popped out and was picked off by Gasol.
Spurs team defensive counterattack.
Parker advanced with the ball, slowly reached Frontcourt, and watched Teammates settle down.
Then continue to look for Pick-and-Roll of Aldridge.
After using the cover to break through, the ball was given to Aldridge.
Aldridge caught the ball at mid-range and short range, Face-Up directly pulled out Shot and shot.
Two points Swished Through the Net.
Aldridge Tonight's Touch seems to be very good, and the trajectory of the shot is very positive.
Return to Offensive End, Westbrook to continue main control.
After dribbling the ball to Frontcourt, play the ball at Top of the Key and give it to Chen Xi not far away.
Chen Xi holding the ball Isolation White.
Derrick·White is a defender who is 1.93 meters tall and an all-around player who is good at offense and defense.
The 29th show of First Round in 2017 quickly matured under the training of Spurs.
And in the future, after joining Celtics, he will often stand up and help the team at critical moments.
Later, as the second position of Starting Lineup, he successfully assisted the Jays and helped Celtics win another NBA Championship trophy, adding another monument to the glorious history of Boston.
Of course, that was in the future, but the current White is still a little less interesting.
Face-Up Isolation of Chen Xi.
Slowly lower the ball, make a Drag Step to the right, then quickly change direction, hold the ball in his left hand and lean back, attracting Whitey to step forward, then lower his center of gravity again, Crossover Dribble change direction, and accelerate to break through from the right.
The change in rhythm caused White's defense to be out of position.
I tried hard to turn around, but I could only see the back of Chen Xi who had already taken off.
Mid-range's emergency stop jump shot.
Two-Pointer hits steadily.
4 to 4.
Spurs attacks again, Parker Top of the Key lobs to Aldridge in the low post.
Aldridge turned his back to Face-Up, facing Brow. After Triple Threat tested it, he directly took a two-point shot.
Come on!!
Tonight's Aldridge and Touch are overwhelming.
Westbrook stood by the basket, caught the falling Basketball, then exited Baseline and served quickly. (Turtle Turtle's habit is to always walk to the basket and wait to grab the board. Sometimes the defense will ignore the shooter on the weak side, but fortunately, under normal circumstances, his return to defense is quite fast, harmful, but not very toxic.)
After Chen Xi took the serve from Westbrook, he quickly advanced to Frontcourt.
Facing the way White, after the continuous speed change Dribble disrupted the rhythm, Hesitation Dribble quickly broke through, rushed into the Three-Pointer line, and then threw the ball directly into the air towards Aldridge.
Beng!!!!
Anthony·Davis, alley-oop dunk!!
Chen Xi was about to rush forward to celebrate with Brow, but halfway there, he was frightened and an emoticon came out.
I saw that after Davis landed, his posture was not right, his ankle twisted, and then his center of gravity was unbalanced and he fell to one side.
"WC!!!"
Chen Xi was so frightened that he rushed forward to observe Davis's injuries.
At this moment, all he could think about was Roberson's alley-oop.
"No, no, no! No! Brother!!"
Fortunately, Davis lay on his side on the ground, holding his ankle. After a while, he recovered.
At this time, Chen Xi and Westbrook stepped forward, pulled him up, then supported Brow, let him move on one foot, and sat back on the bench.
The game was forced Timeout.
After a brief diagnosis by the team doctor, Davis, accompanied by the staff, was helped back to the locker room for further examination.
"Damn! I shouldn't have passed that alley-oop." Chen Xi had some annoyance on his face.
"This is not your fault, Chris. This was a non-contact injury. It was an accident when Davis landed. It has nothing to do with you." Donovan stood aside and comforted Chen Xi, then turned around and started calling Collins to get ready to play.
"No one wants accidents to happen, but this is life, this is the game, this is not your problem, don't blame yourself too much." Westbrook also patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, and then slowly walked back to the court.
Although the accident happened, the game still had to continue.
After returning to the court, Spurs reorganized the offense.
Although he knew it had nothing to do with him, at the moment Chen Xi's mind was filled with the serious injury that occurred after Roberson connected with Westbrook.
After that time, Roberson was reimbursed for the season and his entire career was ruined.
This accident also made Westbrook blame herself very much, and since then she has developed the habit of taking the initiative to wipe the floor with a mop.
This is undoubtedly not a good experience. If possible, he would not be willing to have this habit.
In the same way, Chen Xi is also full of self-blame now. Although it is not his problem, it is inevitable that he will still think this way.
Although in this life, Roberson's accident did not happen, and he is still playing well at Clippers.
But Chen Xi still couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Roberson's bad luck was transferred to Davis?
Chen Xi, who was worried a lot, also began to lose concentration on the court.
Although he didn't make any big mistakes on the defensive end, after all, Spurs's main offensive force was Aldridge from Interior.
But he had sleepwalking in Offensive End, which is definitely a big problem for Thunder.
Davis was injured and retired, Chen Xi was sleepwalking, and only Westbrook was left to handle the production.
Thunder's firepower has naturally declined significantly.
What's worse is that Aldridge's offensive status tonight was ridiculously good, and after Davis came off the court, no one could control it.
Under the circumstances, Thunder showed a direct tendency to collapse in the first quarter.
