At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder's first attack, substitute Caron Butler's layup, was directly knocked down by Himes with the ball.

Looking back at the Timberwolves' counterattack, Carter received a pass from Budinger and hit the Timberwolves' first goal of the second quarter with a layup.

If the defense just now was just an accident for Scott, then the Thunder's next attack was Scott's turn to get furious on the sidelines.

Just like a replica of Yi Jianlian's injury, Reggie Jackson, who came on as a substitute for the Thunder, missed his shot from the outside. Himes and Perry Jones jumped up almost at the same time in the penalty area, but Hope, who did not have the advantage in height,

However, James occupied a favorable position and caught the ball first when he jumped up. Then he bent down and hugged the ball after landing, but the two open elbows shook a bit.

At this time, Jones wanted to reach out and take out the basketball controlled by Simes, but he didn't know that Simes' big elbow just hit Jones on the cheek.

Suddenly, Jones' 2-meter-11 body fell to the ground with a plop.

The confused look in Sims's eyes when he raised his head seemed to tell everyone that he was wronged and that he had no idea what was going on. When everyone in the Thunder saw Jones on the ground, they immediately surrounded him, and everyone in the Timberwolves did the same.

The referees quickly went up to separate the crowd.

"This is fucking revenge, this is definitely malicious revenge." Scott yelled angrily at the referee.

At this time, Da Zhuang also came to the referee.

"Mr. Referee, don't forget your penalty in the first quarter. That was a common foul, and this must be the same. You have to know that my man ended up bleeding."

"Mr. Referee, listen to what he said. Isn't this revenge?"

"Retaliation? That was what you guys did first. Besides, when did I say this was revenge? I just remind you that things should be fair. This is the fucking target center!"

"Chen, please be careful what you say. We naturally have the basis for our punishment."

"Hmph, you have the fucking ability to punish me. What? Did I say something wrong? I told you not to mess with me. Come on, come here. Punish me. I want to see what I say.

How many people can you punish?"

The referee frowned and looked at Chen Dazhuang deeply. At this time, even the referee felt that it was a bit tricky.

If Chen Dazhuang really followed the rules of the league, there would be no problem in being punished. But he knew very well that Chen Dazhuang was right about one thing. This is the home court of the Timberwolves. If he did this, then the game would not be played.

And after this season, they know very well who the guy opposite is. He is the one who dares to set the table in the All-Star Game. If this mess gets too big, they will probably have to take the blame.

The referee made a penalty very quickly on the court. Himes only committed a rebounding foul.

When Chen Dazhuang saw such a penalty, he sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then slowly retreated to his seat.

And Scott didn't say anything after seeing such a penalty.

On the field, Jones could no longer continue playing. Even though he was wearing braces, the big elbow still made his teeth loose, and most importantly, his head was dizzy.

In desperation, Scott had no choice but to replace Ibaka and continue the game.

No one expected that in the second round of the second round of the playoffs, two people would already be injured and left the field less than halftime. Such intensity also made people who paid attention to this game incredible.

But what everyone doesn't know is that this is just the beginning. It can be said that this game will completely make the two teams a mortal enemy. The kind of people who are extremely jealous when they meet and want to tear each other into pieces.

.

The next game continued. Even though Ibaka was replaced, Scott also found that the team could not catch up with the point difference in the rotation competition, and there were even signs of being further widened, so in the second

At 5 minutes and 14 seconds into the quarter, the Thunder took the lead in replacing all their main players.

Seeing the Thunder team's substitutions, Da Zhuang also replaced all the starting lineups one after another, but Himes stayed on the court.

The current lineup of the Timberwolves on the court is Rubio, Middleton, Bennett, Himes and Oden.

The Timberwolves' scoring is mainly concentrated on the outside. Middleton and Bennett both maintain good touch, while the Thunder's offense is dominated by Westbrook and Durant, but Bennett's defense of Durant makes it difficult.

It was quite expensive, and as time went by in the second quarter, Durant's shooting percentage also dropped a lot.

With 18 seconds left in the second quarter, the Thunder gained possession of the offensive ball.

At this time, the Timberwolves led the Thunder by 9 points, 61 to 52. What many people did not expect was Himes' performance. After replacing him in the second quarter, the Timberwolves' defensive intensity in the interior went up to at least a higher level. Although

Sims' role is entirely in defense inside. Unlike Yi Jianlian, who can be pulled to the outside to help teammates share the offensive pressure, but if we only talk about defense, then Sims's performance is better than Yi Jianlian.

.

It can be said that in the entire second quarter of the game, Ibaka did not take advantage of Himes' defense after he came on the court. Himes only blocked two shots.

It can be said that Himes completely became famous in this game.

Many people are interested in this guy.

But the next scene left everyone stunned. Even Da Zhuang was a little confused. He didn't expect the power of the system to be so powerful.

Westbrook handed the ball to Durant. Durant took advantage of the situation and tried to pass Bennett in one step. Unexpectedly, Bennett was very alert to predict Durant's intentions in advance, and then turned around to follow.

the other party.

This disrupted Durant's plan. Once he went inside, he would be double-teamed, because he saw Himes already standing and waiting for him.

At this time, Ibaka, who mentioned the high pick-and-roll, began to move down the middle and shouted loudly towards Durant.

But he didn't notice Himes moving a few steps to the left.

Durant saw where Ibaka was and immediately threw the ball into the air.

And here, Ibaka jumped up after he was in position. He also grabbed the basketball with his raised right hand, and then prepared to chop down. A standard alley-oop was about to be completed.

Ibaka also had a slight smile on his face. To be honest, he was very depressed in the second quarter. Under Himes' desperate defense, his role was very small.

Now with this dunk, he can relieve his depression.
