Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 678 The curtain falls, the new season begins!

Westbrook is still defending Curry.

In the previous confrontation, the two were basically in a situation of mutual explosion.

Curry couldn't guard against Westbrook's rush, and Westbrook couldn't guard against Curry's smart three-pointer.

The two have very different styles, and the confrontation is extremely fierce and exciting, which makes fans enjoy watching it!

And now, the game has come to an end.

After seeing the two face off again, the Rockets fans at the scene stood up and cheered for Curry.

"let's.go.rockets!!!"

"let's.go.rockets!!!"

"let's.go.rockets!!!"

......

Amidst the cheers all over the sky, Westbrook no longer waited for Curry to launch an attack, but took the initiative to push forward, trying to disrupt the latter's rhythm with physical confrontation.

But as soon as he started, he was discovered by Curry.

Rocket No. 30 stepped on the ground with both feet, and made a cross-step change in the direction Westbrook was rushing towards, and completed the extraordinary in an instant!

Wei Shao was shocked and quickly turned around to chase.

He followed Curry all the way to the free throw line.

Just when people thought that Curry was about to finish attacking the basket, Curry suddenly passed the ball behind his back and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian who was ambushing outside.

As for Ibaka, who was facing off against UAE, his attention was completely attracted by Curry, and he didn't notice Yi Jianlian's outside shot at all.

The UAE received the ball from the three-point line and made a decisive shot...

bingo!

The basketball went into the net, rewriting the score to 120:117, and the Rockets took a 3-point lead.

Thunder coach Donovan immediately called a timeout.

Obviously, for the sake of the game, he and his players very much hope to win the game.

If they can start the new summer with a victory over the defending champion, it will definitely be a great encouragement to this young team!

In contrast, the Rockets generals are also very aware of the significance of this game.

As early as last season, Shen Fei had told them many times that the three thunderbolts would not leave, and the future would be a big trouble for the Rockets.

Now these three are still in the Thunder, and have become stronger after the offseason.

Whether it is Mark Jackson or the Rockets players, it is very clear that this game must kill the momentum of the Thunder, and they cannot be allowed to rise too quickly!

Ever since, the coaches of both teams made detailed arrangements for the last 45 seconds.

Among them, the Thunder replaced veteran Perkins with another veteran, the old fish -- Derek Fisher.

Obviously, what Donovan wants is Lao Yu's big heart and that miraculous three-pointer!

On the Rockets side, Mark Jackson continued to let Leonard and George appear together.

Coupled with Yi Jianlian who has Rodman's skill package, the defensive ability of the Rockets lineup is very impressive!

............

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

Thunder sideline serve.

Harden passed the ball to Westbrook who went out.

Westbrook holds the ball at the top of the arc and deals cards online.

Ibaka set up pick-and-rolls for Durant and Fisher one after another inside.

With the help of screens and cross-runs, Fisher finally found a chance.

He got rid of Curry's defense and went outside to catch the ball.

At the critical moment, Leonard suddenly jumped out, and he jumped up, using a posture similar to a flying header in a football game, and flicked the ball in the air.

The basketball changed direction and flew towards the sideline.

Durant took a look and felt that the ball was undoubtedly out of bounds, so he stopped.

But the next moment, Yi Jianlian beside him caught the basketball in the air with an even more exaggerated swoop than Leonard just now, and then threw it behind him!

Yao Ming took advantage of his height and protected the hard-won possession of the ball.

Ah Lian "flyed" directly into the bench, and it was difficult to return to the field for a while.

But the rocket's counterattack, like an arrow from the string, pierced the Thunder's hinterland!

In the fast break, George took the lead and rushed to the basket at high speed.

His slender figure, vigorous steps, and trance, make people feel that McGrady is back!

But the Thunder aren't going to sit still.

Harden, Westbrook, and Durant are all very fast. When George took three steps, the three also counted the steps and jumped together.

All of a sudden, the four jumped high and flew to the basket at the same time!

"bang!"

After all, it was George who was one step faster, and pushed the ball into the basket before the third young master's block came!

The next moment, the four collided in the air and fell to the ground one after another.

Fortunately, several people were not injured.

Shortly after the referee's whistle, they all stood up with the help of their teammates.

In the vip box on the stand, Shen Fei let out a long sigh of relief.

The few people who fell just now frightened him.

Shen Fei didn't care about the outcome of a preseason match.

It's best to win, and it's down if you don't win.

But George is injured, that would be too bad!

[I hope that in this time and space, you don't have to suffer such serious injuries...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

In the original time and space, George accidentally suffered an open fracture in order to block Harden in a training match in the beautiful country (and that injury was entirely caused by the field, George did not do any dangerous actions).

Since then, George's athleticism has declined significantly.

He may still be able to stage the signature 360° turn and dunk, but the jumping height and speed are far inferior to before.

Shen Fei didn't want the current high-spirited and indomitable George to repeat the same mistakes.

"Got to remind George sometime."

Shen Fei murmured.

............

Look back to the field.

George not only completed the dunk under the three-man defense, but also caused Westbrook's foul.

He walked to the free throw line and made the extra free throw to the cheers of the audience.

123:117, the Rockets lead to 6 points!

The Thunder did not call a timeout again.

Durant dribbles directly from the backcourt.

Leonard stepped on the three-point line with his heels, arms outstretched, ready to fight.

But kd didn't launch the attack step by step, but pulled out his hand against Xiao Kagan about two meters away from the three-point line!

......

......

hit!

123:120, the point difference is back to one round!

Durant beat his chest excitedly after the goal was scored.

He shot this ball too hard!

Kaka remained expressionless, but still raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his problem.

In the last 28 seconds, Curry advanced with the ball.

Thunder did not adopt foul tactics, but wanted to reverse the situation with a successful defense.

Therefore, just after halftime, Curry was double-teamed.

But after experiencing the baptism of the Heat's high-position press, Mengshen is now familiar with handling this situation.

He made a fake pass to the right, shaking Westbrook and Harden, and then flicked the ball to Leonard on the left with a flick of his wrist.

When Xiaoka received the ball, Durant did not step forward to defend immediately, but left him a step away.

Obviously, kd doesn't believe that Leonard will make a rash shot when the Rockets still have a three-point advantage with 17 seconds left in the attack time.

Durant's bet is that this rookie has no courage to shoot this three-pointer!

Give Xiaoka this step distance, and he can help defend George at any time.

However...

Leonard's face sank, without hesitation, he jumped up and shot!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

126:120, this ball almost killed the game!

After the ball was scored, the Toyota Center boiled instantly.

But when the fans and teammates were celebrating wildly, Leonard still did not change his expression, and always maintained "facial paralysis".

The Thunder reluctantly resorted to the last timeout.

But after the timeout ended, Westbrook missed a three-pointer and the game was settled.

In the end, the Rockets sat at home and defeated the Thunder 128:120, winning the last preseason game!

............

Shen Fei left the arena with satisfaction.

Next, the new season officially begins!
