Chapter 282 Chasing and Killing!
This time, it was the Thunder's turn to call a timeout.
Although he is still one point ahead and maintains the ball in the next round.
But if you don't pay attention, you will most likely make major mistakes.
I have been playing this game for so long and I am already in sight. If I slip away like this in the end, I would be really unwilling to accept it!
Durant glanced at Westbrook on his right hand and seemed to have some plans.
After talking to him, the head coach of the Thunder team obviously agreed with Durant's idea and nodded repeatedly.
Soon, both sides returned to the court.
After Thunder served, he began to be careful.
In order to consume as much time as possible, the attack will not be taken too quickly.
The Timberwolves started pressing the whole game, and they have been following since the serve.
Even, he is ready to take a foul at any time to interrupt the Thunder's attack.
But it's still early, so there's no need to foul directly.
At this time, Westbrook was holding the ball, because his smaller figure and speed allowed him to avoid a lot of entanglements.
Time walks through seconds and is about to end soon.
The Thunder still wanted to delay.
The Timberwolves directly adopted the foul tactic.
The ball was on Westbrook and sent him to the free throw line.
The ball was originally going to be thrown to Durant, but the moment he took the action, he was already fouled.
Although Westbrook's free throw level is pretty good now, he is naturally more likely to make mistakes than Durant.
Especially, the current pressure must be extremely high.
At this moment, Westbrook took a few deep breaths at the free throw line.
The others were all stopping and watching, waiting for the result of the first free throw.
After all, the first penalty can only be watched.
Only when it comes to the second free throw is the crucial moment, rebounding moment.
At present, there are 11.8 seconds left, and this will be the last chance for the Timberwolves.
Westbrook was indeed quite nervous at this time.
After receiving the ball from the referee, he drove it a few times in a row, then slammed it in his hand twice, and looked at the basket.
But he has not been able to take action for a long time.
Obviously, Westbrook couldn't guarantee that he could hold it 100%. This was a crucial free throw after all.
If you make a mistake, it will cause great damage to the Thunder, and your efforts this night may be in vain.
Under such great attention, we should have enjoyed cheers and inspiration.
But at this moment, Westbrook seemed to feel that every pair of eyes seemed to be waiting for his judgment.
Under this heavy pressure, Westbrook became more and more nervous, and at the same time, it also led the others of the Thunder to dare to breathe loudly.
Finally, Westbrook took action.
The ball drew a mark in the air, but it was found that there was a deviation.
"Clang!"
Sure enough, I failed to hit it.
The ball hit the left side of the basket, and after slipping around, it fell directly to the ground.
It was also at this moment that Westbrook's heart seemed to skip a beat, and it felt very bad.
If you don't score a goal, it means that the second goal will also be quite risky.
If neither goal is made, the Timberwolves' chance will come.
This time, the Thunder used the timeout again.
This is crucial to them.
Both sides will come to the sidelines and begin to make the next plan in full swing.
After all, the final time may end this game completely, and it is absolutely sloppy.
Durant is also constantly comforting Westbrook, hoping that he can relax.
Too nervous, he may make another mistake.
At this time, Westbrook also realized that he must not be shrouded in this fear.
After quickly getting back on the free throw line.
The second time, Westbrook's movements were obviously much faster, without any unnecessary hesitation.
Choose to take action directly.
"Swish!"
This time, it was a precise hit, which allowed the Thunder to retain some initiative.
After all, only 3 points can make the game completely end.
In most cases, a more conservative 2-pointer will be chosen to play overtime and re-compete for the chance to win.
Therefore, the Thunder also thought that at worst, they would play overtime.
The tactic of betting on 3 points is actually not very common, especially at such moments.
At this time, the Timberwolves ran forward quickly after serving.
Everyone landed directly, and Wan Long appeared on the left and received the pass.
This time, Wanlong must bear the pressure of giving away the treatment of double-teams.
Under such circumstances, it is clear that Wan Long will become the final executor, and his ability is obvious to all.
Although he is a first-year rookie, he has become the new leader of the Timberwolves in so many games.
This is a default fact even within the team.
Even Kevin Love would not object to the authenticity of this matter.
Durant looked at Wan Long and smiled faintly: "How about it, if you have the ability, you can continue to take three points to show me this time."
Obviously, Durant wanted to deliberately provoke because he didn't believe that Wan Long still had so much luck.
Especially now, it is very difficult to make a three-pointer when you are double-teaming.
As long as Wan Long experiences emotional fluctuations, he may make a wrong decision and ruin the entire game.
But at this time, Wan Long smiled calmly.
"It seems that you don't have that thorough research on me."
This sentence directly made Durant feel extremely puzzled.
He seemed to notice something, but he didn't know it.
So, he sneered: "Hmph, don't think that you can really do something by pretending."
At this moment, Wanlong suddenly changed his moves.
There are only the last 3.5 seconds left.
Wan Long's movements were very fast, and Durant also posted them directly.
But what Durant did not expect was that Wan Long came even more.
The two were going to collide with each other like this.
"Oops!"
Durant realized that Wan Long wanted to make a three-pointer foul.
The body subconsciously wanted to fall backwards.
But Wanlong was still rising and threw the ball directly into the sky.
"What?!"
At this moment, Durant realized that he was actually being fooled!
The ball went over everyone's heads so high and headed straight for the basket.
Then, like a bombshell, a wave exploded in the basket.
At the same time, it is more like dropping a super bomb at the Thunder's home court, making every Thunder fan feel extremely uncomfortable.
A super difficult three-pointer!
