Chapter 289 Taking over the game

Li Pu took the ball with his back, simply shook his shoulder, then turned and hooked, scoring two points!

The whole set of movements is like taking Dove, it is extremely smooth. With this set of movements, very few centers can perform it now.

With this shot, the point difference returned to 3 points again.

This key goal made all the fans at the scene feel cold.

In the last quarter, the Thunder launched wave after wave of offensives, but the Kings were able to withstand them all, and until now, they still have not been able to overtake the score.

At this time, there were only the last 8 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Kings led by 3 points at 101:98.

The situation is already very dangerous for the Thunder.

In 8 seconds, there is only one last chance to attack. If they don't score, it will basically be the death penalty for the Thunder team!

Therefore, when the timeout came back and the Thunder prepared to serve, the fans at the scene had sweaty palms.

Who could have imagined that their team would be pushed to this level by a mere Kings team?

Cousins ​​stood on the sideline and served.

The reason why Cousins ​​is asked to serve is of course not because of his golf IQ, but to bring Lip out of the paint, so that if the Thunder miss a three-pointer, it will help them grab rebounds.

Sure enough, Lip did stand in front of Cousins. The Thunder have already completed half of this tactic!

When the referee handed the ball to Cousins, Lip raised his hands high and continued to interfere with Cousins' sight with his long arms.

At this time, Durant was tightly entangled by Butler, denying him any chance to catch the ball.

Even if he used Ibaka to screen, it was useless because Butler squeezed through the screen and continued to pester Durant.

Of course, Durant is not the only one in the Thunder who can make key shots.

At this time, Westbrook pushed Bledsoe away, but the referee did not blow the whistle.

Cousins ​​saw Westbrook open and immediately passed the ball to Westbrook.

However, because the passing intention was too obvious, Li Pu saw through it and was actually interfered by his long arm.

The moment it touched the basketball, the direction of the basketball changed and it failed to fly in the direction of Westbrook.

However, the basketball accidentally flew in the direction of Durant.

Durant and Butler saw this opportunity at the same time, and they immediately jumped in.

However, Durant's arms were longer and he got the ball first.

Because Butler rushed too hard, he flew out and fell to the ground.

Durant picked up the ball, couldn't adjust, and directly chose to take a three-point shot.

There was no other way. If he dared to waste time at this moment, Li Pu, who was eyeing the opportunity, would pounce on him and block him.

Quickly completing the shot, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then there was a "Duang" sound, but it actually missed!

Just when the fans at the scene thought the Thunder were gone, Westbrook suddenly came out. It turned out that he had already rushed inside when Durant took action.

Due to the absence of Li Pu inside, Westbrook actually got this priceless offensive rebound. After getting the ball, Westbrook passed the ball directly to the outside and once again found Durant who had already run out of the open space.

After Durant caught the ball, he took another shot. At this time, Li Pu had already pounced on him, but it was still a step too late and Durant completed the shot.

Shortly after Durant shot the ball, the timer sounded and the time expired. Then everyone watched the ball quietly and watched him fall steadily into the basket.

The ball goes in!

Durant hit a tying three-pointer at a critical moment, dragging the game into overtime!

At this moment, the expressionless Durant actually looked a little handsome. However, he was handsome for only three seconds before Westbrook rushed over with a quick stride and hugged him tightly.

Seeing this scene, Li Pu couldn't help but shook his head. Although he had seen Durant score key goals before, it still felt uncomfortable to be hit by Durant!

Turning around, Li Pu saw his equally frustrated teammates and clapped his hands at them, "What are you doing? We haven't lost yet! Everyone, adjust your mentality and win the game in overtime! We are close to victory, but

It’s just 5 more minutes!”

After all, Li Pu is a person who has seen the world. Even if he is defeated by the opponent, his mentality remains stable and he can even comfort his teammates.

Seeing Li Pu's appearance, Coach Brown on the sidelines felt much relieved. He walked forward with the tactical board and called the players to gather around him.

The Thunder players who were celebrating suddenly woke up from their excitement when they saw the scene of the Kings.

"That's right! We haven't won yet! What's there to celebrate? It's just that we are back on the same starting line!"

Soon, the Thunder players also returned to the bench and began preparations for overtime.

Soon after, as players from both sides returned to the court, the overtime of the semifinal tiebreaker officially began.

Lip still defeated Cousins ​​and put the basketball in Bledsoe's hands.

After Bledsoe brought the ball to the frontcourt, after picking and rolling with Lip, he accelerated and broke through Cousins' defense.

Cousins ​​was originally not very fast in lateral movement, but now that he has played for 40 minutes, his speed is even slower.

If we could delay Bledsoe before, now we only have to eat dust behind him!

But even if Bledsoe succeeds in breaking through, he can't easily attack the basket because there is still the Thunder's final frame protector, Ibaka!

Ibaka flew over and slapped Bledsoe's layup away.

But the basketball accidentally fell into the hands of Li Pu who followed up.

Lip kept his hand and immediately chose a throw. The basketball bypassed Ibaka's fingertips and fell into the basket.

At 103:101, Lip opened the scoring for the Kings in overtime.

The Kings have Lip, and the Thunder naturally have Dewey!

When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Westbrook just set up a pick-and-roll and went inside. It looked no different from Bledsoe just now.

However, in terms of strength, Westbrook is better than Bledsoe.

Facing Giannis' defense, Westbrook rushed forward.

In tonight's game, the two have already been at odds.

"Didi!"

Although Giannis tried his best to destroy Westbrook's layup, the referee blew the whistle and Westbrook won the free throw.

Westbrook's shooting percentage tonight was appalling, less than 40%, but with the two free throws this time, he got 15+ free throws.

With two free throws, the score was tied again, and Westbrook's score also reached 30 points.

Next, the two teams exchanged an angry blow to pay tribute to each other.

Seeing that his teammates were unable to score in overtime, Lip decided to do it himself.

So, we saw that after receiving the pass on the offensive end, Lipu directly chose to break through the top of the arc, then made a mid-range jumper, facing Ibaka's block, and made a steady hit.

Lip is starting to take over the game!
