One Guard

Chapter 707: Teammates try their best, boss CBA

Westbrook attacks desperately, even though he knows he has missed many times, but he still attacks desperately.

Durant clenched his fists. He really couldn't believe that Westbrook would play like this in this game! Does that guy not care about anything except his own face and data? ?

Yiyang resisted and prevented Westbrook from gaining speed. Gobert blocked in the penalty area and used his strong body to block the rampaging "Turtle". The seamless cooperation between Yiyang and Gobert is the reason why Westbrook's shooting percentage is low today.

But don't tell me, Westbrook is really "cooperative".

Once again, this guy threw himself into the air against two defenders and hit a layup.

The panting Ibaka threw Dirk away, gritted his teeth, and jumped high!

"Serge, he grabbed the offensive rebound!"

Ibaka fought hard and had no reservations.

"When it comes to teammates, Serge Ibaka is the ideal character that everyone looks forward to. My admiration for his behavior of sacrificing himself for the team is even deeper. No matter what happens in the game situation, as long as he is there, you can feel that there is a force accompanying us."

This is the evaluation Durant gave Ibaka in the playoffs last season. There is no doubt that this evaluation is higher than Westbrook.

After Ibaka grabbed the offensive rebound, he immediately took off a second time and planned to dunk. But Gobert was also dissatisfied with his reaction. He forced himself forward and gave Ibaka a fierce confrontation.

Ibaka's center of gravity was unstable, but he managed to throw the ball toward the basket before falling. Subsequently, the Congolese forward, who was already suffering from injuries, fell to the ground. But after hearing the referee's whistle, Ibaka instantly felt that everything was worth it.

"Serge used his enthusiasm to win the opportunity for the Thunder to hit a three-pointer. This is an opportunity that Ibaka earned with his own sweat and blood! If the extra free throw is made, Ibaka will score 27 points ! And the Thunder will reduce the point difference to 4 points in the last 32 seconds. This free throw is crucial to the Thunder!"

Mike Breen felt heartbroken for Ibaka. He took 14 shots, hit 11 goals, and made 3 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 26 points with a 76.8% shooting rate. If he made extra free throws, it would be 27 points.

Ibaka's performance today was phenomenal. He has never seen the Congolese play so well. He wants to win, and he wants the Thunder to beat the best team in the league. If Westbrook doesn't pass the ball, he just does it himself.

Ibaka's performance definitely deserves a victory. It's a pity that their leader ruined everything with his own hands.

But at this time, Ibaka had no strength left. If Adams and Westbrook hadn't pulled themselves up, the Congolese wouldn't even have the strength to stand up.

Every score he scores is hard-won. Except for three-pointers, every time Ibaka wants to score, he will experience the same level of fierce confrontation just now. Ibaka played 40 minutes today, which is longer than Westbrook's playing time. In the fourth quarter, we played a whole quarter, and it’s already a miracle that we haven’t overdrawn it yet.

The Mavericks fans booed loudly, and Ibaka tried to adjust his breathing, hoping to hit the extra free throw. In 32 seconds, if the point difference is reduced to 4 points, then the Thunder still have a chance!

At this time, the camera focused on Westbrook with his hands on his hips outside the three-point line. He took 23 shots but only hit 6 goals. No one knows what will happen if Westbrook's shooting rights are given to Ibaka.

But what is certain is that Westbrook's inefficient performance is the main reason why the Thunder are still in trouble.

"Westbrook did not fulfill the responsibilities of a star player today. He was a little too obsessed with playing alone. Since the second quarter of the game when he was swayed away and successfully dunked, Westbrook has completely organized the offense. Forgot."

"It turns out that the Mavericks' defense can't beat Westbrook.

What Westbrook said during training yesterday seemed a bit too arrogant. "

Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan will not give Westbrook face just because he is a star. It is one of their responsibilities to comment on a player's performance truly and objectively.

Carlesimo no longer excuses Westbrook. The performance of guard No. 0 today was completely a "car accident scene."

The former Thunder coach was already pale, and he really didn't know how he would be sprayed after the game.

On the court, an exhausted Ibaka threw the basketball. However, the basketball bounced on the rim a few times and finally slipped out. Ibaka was powerless, he couldn't even control his shooting movements.

Gobert stretched out his long arms and scooped the rebound into his arms. Adams immediately fouled, foul tactics, this is the only thing the Thunder can do now.

But because the foul count had not yet arrived, Gobert still did not get to the free throw line. Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Carlisle very smartly replaced Gobert with Aminu. In this way, the five players on the Mavericks court have very strong shooting abilities and are not afraid of being sent to the free throw line.

Aminu stood on the sidelines and served again. Westbrook clung to Yiyang's body. He wanted to make up for it, but it was obviously too late.

Yiyang's movement attracted the Thunder's defensive attention, but in the end Aminu passed the basketball to Wade.

Robertson had no choice but to foul Wade.

Although Wade's mid- and long-range shooting has always been his shortcoming, his free throws are very stable.

Standing on the free throw line, Wade's heartbeat didn't even accelerate. He had experienced more tense moments than this countless times, and this was nothing.

With two free throws, Wade scored 18 points, narrowing the point difference to 7 points. Chasing 7 points in 30 seconds, for the Thunder, they only have a theoretical possibility of victory.

The Thunder attacked, but the impatient Westbrook still did not pass the ball. Instead, he dribbled outside the three-point line and made a long shot directly against Yiyang's defense.

This three-point shot turned into an air ball, and the net was not even touched. Durant shook his head. To be honest, he was a little disappointed at this time. In his expectations, Westbrook's performance today should be much better...

This air balloon completely hit the bottom of the morale of the Thunder generals. When Ibaka also lowered his proud head, Carlisle knew that his opponent was unable to fight back!

"Russell Westbrook's performance was simply a disaster. His shot selection has not improved at all compared to his rookie season. Maybe he wanted to put the team on himself too much, but today, it had the opposite effect. "

The time bomb went off, and unfortunately, the Thunder sued themselves.

The 7-point difference remained like this until the end of the game. 112 to 105, Yiyang had 26 points, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Dirk had 30 points and 5 rebounds, Wade had 18 points, Iguodala had 15 points, and Gobert had 4 blocks. The Mavericks used a near-perfect performance to defeat their mortal enemy, the Thunder, in back-to-back games.

As for Westbrook, who took 23 shots but only scored 18 points, there is no doubt that his pre-game provocations made him look even stupider at this time.

When Westbrook walked off the court, Durant looked up at his No. 0 partner. A few years ago, Durant would have patted him on the shoulder, and by the way, it's okay.

But this time, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, but neither one spoke.

Sometimes, cracks don't form suddenly, but accumulate little by little. When it accumulates to a certain amount, it becomes impossible for the cracks to recombine...

"Coach Carlesimo, how do you evaluate Russell Westbrook's performance today?" In the commentary box, Kevin Harlan also played a little trick and asked a question that made Carlesimo incomparable. Awkward question.

After all, the momentum he used to brag about Westbrook yesterday made even Harlan look down on him.

"Today...Russell didn't show his true level...he also suppressed him very well. Westbrook's impact is not able to break through all the shackles." Carle Seamus rubbed his nose in embarrassment. The strongest point guard in the Western Conference? Overtaken in the MVP rankings?

Thinking of his remarks yesterday, Carlesimo felt ridiculous!

Ibaka became the most popular star, and he was loved by everyone for his hard work.

"What else can I say? We have to be more united." Facing the camera, Ibaka spread his hands, hoping that Westbrook could understand what he meant.

With 18 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, Westbrook scored a near-triple-double. But at this time, no one would be willing to stand up and cheer for him...

The gap between first and third in the MVP rankings is obvious. By the way, maybe after this game, Westbrook can't still be ranked third.

There is no doubt that Westbrook will fall into the center of public opinion and will be criticized by all media. He will pay the price for his arrogance before the game and his irrational behavior during the game, but those have nothing to do with Yiyang.

Winning the game gave the Mavericks a three-game winning streak since Christmas, which put Yiyang in a good mood.

He no longer wants to argue with Westbrook, that guy is pitiful enough.

Dirk, who scored 30 points today, replaced Yiyang and became the darling of the media. Yiyang was also happy to relax and quietly slipped into the player tunnel.

Back in the locker room, Yiyang took out his phone and found an unread text message, which was sent by Bill Duffy.

"What's going on?" Yiyang opened the text message curiously, but the content of the text message made Yiyang even more confused.

"PepsiCo has a very creative advertising plan that you will definitely be interested in. Believe me, this is the most creative advertising plan I have ever seen in my life! After the competition, give me a call back and we will have a chat. This matter. To be honest, I didn’t even bother to watch your game today. That guy Westbrook can’t win, hahaha. By the way, by the way. In this advertising plan, you will be competing with Kyrie Irving. Cooperation. Are you more interested? Give me a call."

Yiyang frowned, the most creative advertising plan? Kyrie Irving? Well, it sounds like it's quite interesting.
