When the Game Reached the Final Three Minutes

Chen Xi and Westbrook were both experienced perimeter players with exceptional playmaking skills. They immediately spotted the problem with the opposing lineup and began setting AD up.

Under these circumstances, Little Sabonis had no choice but to switch onto Davis.

After all, putting Butler or Marshall on Davis would be no different from handing him free points.

By comparison, Little Jordan posed less of a threat in the low post than Davis, so Butler could at least manage a reluctant switch onto him and hold his own for a bit.

But you have your clever plan, and I have my way over the wall.

The Thunder certainly weren't going to let the Pelicans make their defensive adjustments with ease.

Chen Xi immediately started working the inside-out game with Davis.

With Little Sabonis covering Davis and Butler switching onto Little Jordan, Chen was ready to go on a rampage~~

After all, no matter how good Marshall's defense was, how did it compare to Leonard's?

"I'd say Marshall's worth no more than a marker for the chopping block!"

"You fool!! The League's heroes tremble at the sound of my command! It's a pity Chen's Green Dragon Crescent Blade has to take the head of a nobody like you!"

During the remaining minutes of the first half of the Third Quarter, the Thunder gave everyone another glimpse of the tremendous power of the Xi Mei Combination.

With Chen Xi and AD's unbelievable one-on-one scoring ability, along with Chen Xi and Westbrook's high-level ball-handling chemistry, the Thunder went on a 17–8 run against the Pelicans in just five minutes after Horford left the game, bringing the score back to 89–82 and cutting the deficit to seven.

The flow of the game was gradually shifting in the Thunder's favor.

It wasn't until the final
