Chapter 287 The counterattack begins

""Days of Future Past" will be released next week, shall we go together?"

"Why don't you go with your girlfriend?"

"Do you understand? How can you go to see X-Men with your girlfriend? Then you have to go with your brothers to watch it! Prince, are you going?"

Covington was foaming at the mouth when talking about the X-Men, as if he was talking about his beliefs, while Giannis across from him calmly wiped his face one after another.

Seeing Covington's serious look, Li Pu quickly shook his head and said: "Let's see the schedule!"

"Don't worry, it's just a movie, it won't take long!"

Covington originally wanted to persuade him again, but he heard the door open. When he looked back, it was their head coach Brown.

Coach Brown opened the door to the locker room and saw a joyful atmosphere in the locker room, without any sense of tension during the war.

Although Coach Brown didn't say anything about this scene, he was very happy in his heart because they finally looked like experienced old players.

"I didn't play well in the first half. I think you should know that, so I hope you can cheer up in the second half. It has been 12 years since the Kings last entered the Western Conference Finals. 12 years is already a long enough time.

, I hope he doesn’t get any longer!”

"Yeah sir!"

The 15-minute intermission passed in a flash and the second half began.

Since the jump ball was lost, the Thunder had the ball first in the second half, and Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt.

Westbrook performed very well in the first half, scoring 15 points, 4 assists and 4 steals, the same score as Durant.

Especially the 4 steals, almost all of them formed fast breaks and scored.

One of the goals was even stolen from Li Pu!

After arriving in the frontcourt, Westbrook observed the situation on the court and then extended two fingers.

In the past, this gesture represented an off-ball pick-and-roll, but now I think it has been changed.

Sure enough, Ibaka moved up and turned into a pick-and-roll at position 1 or 4.

After the start of the second half, the Kings did not continue the starting lineup at the beginning, but sent Giannis up.

Giannis' lateral speed is not comparable to that of Patterson. After switching defenses after the pick-and-roll, he can actually keep up with Westbrook's speed.

Looking at Giannis in front of him, Westbrook's competitive spirit was immediately ignited.

The reason why Westbrook behaves like a gas tank that explodes at the drop of a hat is mainly because Li Pu once told him.

"Russell, I found your brother!"

"ha?"

"My teammate, Giannis, look, there's a second one of your sewer brothers!"

"roll!"

At what level are you worthy of being called a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle with me?

Looking at the thin Giannis in front of him, Westbrook didn't like him at all, so he accelerated and rushed towards him!

It’s so funny. God knows when Li Pu called him Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the two of them had a lot of fights. Now it’s good, they even protect him!

How good does this nickname seem to be?

Although Giannis doesn't know why Westbrook doesn't seem to want to see him, he doesn't bother to care about it. What he has to do at this moment is to keep up with Westbrook and prevent him from making layups.

Giannis really deserves the title of "Greek Monster". His physical fitness is really good. He is 2.1 meters tall and can actually keep up with Westbrook. He really deserves to be the authentic descendant of "Shadowless Foot"!

Although Westbrook found that he could not get rid of Giannis, he had already reached the basket, so he naturally chose to strengthen.

How about Westbrook’s head?

This is also the weakness of Westbrook's playing. He only knows how to speed up, but doesn't know how to slow down. When he sees the basket, he rushes up!

I'm afraid this guy was from Mang Village in his previous life, right?

Although Westbrook avoided Giannis' block with his strong core strength, it was a pity that the ball was not scored due to Giannis' interference.

Lip had already sneaked over from one side and collected the rebound easily. Then a quarterback made a long pass and found Butler who had already arrived in the frontcourt.

After Butler received the ball, he quickly rushed forward. Under the double attack of Sefolosha and Durant, he passed the ball to Middleton on one side, and the latter made a three-pointer!

At 45:49, the score difference returned to within 5 points.

Then Durant hit a three-pointer, and Lip collected the rebound again. This time he handed the ball to Bledsoe.

Bledsoe rushed forward and made a layup.

At 47:49, the score difference was only 2 points.

Although looking back, Westbrook caused Giannis' third foul and made two free throws to bring the score back to 47:51.

But at this time, the morale of the Kings has risen. How can it be so easy for the Thunder to press the button?

Li Pu received the ball on the weak side and went one-on-one. Facing Ibaka, he directly chose to pull up and hit the mid-range shot.

49:51.

Later, when it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Durant was intercepted by Butler when he broke through, and he dunked on the fast break!

51:51, just like that, the score difference was completely wiped out!

At this time, the Kings' counterattack storm that was still brewing had already formed, and tying the score was just the beginning.

Although the Thunder followed up with a three-pointer from Sefolosha to re-establish their lead.

But Li Pu soon caught up again with a three-pointer.

The strong pressure made the Thunder scramble, and they made another mistake.

When Durant broke through Butler one-on-one on the weak side, he stepped on the line and went out of bounds!

This is very fatal for a superstar!

It can be said that in these rounds, Durant was suppressed by Butler.

Once again it was the king's turn to attack.

Bledsoe brought the ball to the frontcourt and first handed the ball to Butler.

After Butler got the ball, everyone else on the Kings team, including Lip, moved to the other side of the court, creating a singles space for Butler.

I have to say that Butler is also amazing. In the regular season, he didn't behave like the second in command of a team. He had no confidence in offense, but his defense was remarkable. He was almost reduced to a blue-collar perimeter with a gate-type perimeter.

.

But in the playoffs, especially in this round of games against the Thunder, his performance was fully worthy of the title of second-in-command of a team.

People thought that the explosion in the last game was just an accidental explosion, but they didn't expect that he would continue this state into this game tonight!

I saw him facing his former starter Sefolosha, dribbling with his hands crossed, constantly testing Sefolosha's center of gravity.

Finally, after discovering that Sefolosha's center of gravity had shifted, he immediately broke through from the left hand and killed the penalty area from the middle.

Sefolosha was also very strong and actually withstood Butler, causing Butler to stop the ball in the penalty area.

This is a very dangerous signal, and it is easy to fall into the enemy's siege!

Just when Sefolosha thought he had defended the ball, Butler suddenly turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. Their movements made Sefolosha think he saw Jordan.

The basketball hits the net!

56:54.

Just like that, the Kings overtook the score!
Chapter completed!
