Chapter 1773 Just Refuse to Accept It, Just Be Tough!
The 5-point difference that was finally recovered in the third quarter took less than a minute to be wasted. The Lakers obviously did not expect that the Thunder, which had been playing on the outside for a whole game, would suddenly launch an attack on the inside.
Westbrook and Ibaka scored successively, turning the Thunder's home court into an erupting volcano. The crazy roar made everyone feel that they were about to usher in their first victory in this series.
In less than 11 minutes, the lead was 15 points. The home court was full of momentum. The only main opponents left were Ji Feng and Gasol. Kobe's touch was not good tonight, and Bynum only scored 5 points, and the two were already on the court. The defensive end consumes a lot of physical energy, and it is difficult to say whether the Zen Master will replace the two on the field.
Everything seems like victory is getting further and further away from the Lakers, and it is only a matter of time before the Thunder win.
The only X factor seems to be the man...
The cameraman at the Thunder's home court obviously knew who was threatening the Thunder at this time. When the Lakers were about to take a baseline kick, three or four cameras instantly found Ji Feng.
However, Ji Feng's condition at this time is not good.
Counting these ten seconds, Ji Feng held his knees and gasped for air. He held his knees with both hands. Large beads of sweat were clearly visible on his face. His broken hair was no longer as elegant as it was at the beginning. It was refreshing, but already soaked with sweat, which made Ji Feng wipe his sweat with his jersey from time to time.
Ji Feng is really too tired. In this game, all the Lakers are blacksmiths, so that no one can share Ji Feng's scoring burden. He has carried the team on his shoulders from the middle of the first quarter. If not The Lakers could score in double figures in each of the first three quarters before the peak of the season, and the Lakers had already spent it.
That's not all. The defensive end consumes the most energy. Although the Lakers have focused their energy on defense when the offensive end is not going well, Ji Feng is definitely under the greatest pressure.
In the first half, he guarded Durant, and in the second half, he switched to point guard and had to guard Westbrook. This means that Ji Feng alone is the main defender of the two Thunder players.
Needless to say, the Thunder's second youngster tonight needs no further explanation. Just look at the data and you'll see that both scored 20+ points in the half and nearly 30+ points in the third quarter. This kind of superb performance will undoubtedly require a lot of energy for Ji Feng to guard.
In fact, ESPN and TNT's commentators have talked about it at several points in the past. Ji Feng was simply an iron man tonight.
As Barkley said: "When stars like Durant and Westbrook feel good, a team often needs two or even three people to take turns defending them, and even constantly use double attacks to limit them. , but the Lakers usually use one-on-one defense. Ji Feng is really an iron man, and he would have been in trouble if he had been there."
But even if it is Ji Feng, even if Ji Feng has a system by his side, his physical strength is not unlimited. This is the end result of putting a lot of energy into the offensive and defensive ends.
While this scene made Lakers fans anxious, it also made Thunder fans relieved. Ji Feng is no longer alive, and now he just needs to wait for time to run out!
Some fans who burned buns even went to Hupu to post: "This season Ji Feng is not going to work. Ji Feng will not be able to score in double figures in the last quarter. I will post this as proof, otherwise it will be LXPD!"
These words instantly made countless Lakers fans angry, but there were very few responders, because even if Ji Feng scored more than ten points but lost the game, it would not mean much. He would just become the leader of the air-killing group.
"Ji Feng will definitely find his place!" Perhaps only Reba in the entire Thunder home court is as confident as ever about Ji Feng.
Hot Bar did not escape the commentary's ridicule. The Thunder's commentary on the scene said: "We saw that Ji Feng's girlfriend was still cheering for her boyfriend at the scene. She may not be able to understand the situation at the scene. The Lakers are already exhausted. The lights are out, although they are still leading by a big score, but everything will change starting tonight!”
I don’t know how many people believe this, but he believes it himself...
And another guest said with a smile: "It is said that Ji Feng has never lost a game when his girlfriend is present. I don't know if it is true, but tonight this legend may be broken. This is the Thunder." Home court, our territory!”
The approaching victory will always make some people inflated, but they are all small figures and not important. Everything still needs to be decided by the players on the field.
And soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because Ji Feng really found his place!
Ji Feng, who was still panting a second ago, returned to the offensive end and came up with an ANSWER BALL, quickly changing direction with his hips, shaking Westbrook constantly changing his steps. Ji Feng's dribbling was so handsome, almost every change There was a burst of exclamation, and then Ji Feng stopped with a sudden change of rhythm. He made a gesture with his hip to shoot, and Westbrook leaped directly into the air.
Ji Feng took off directly towards Westbrook and collided with the opponent in the air, but Ji Feng used his strong waist and abdominal strength and touch to throw the ball towards the basket.
The buzzer blows and the ball goes in!
"Beautiful!~ Ji Feng played the ball very vigorously, so hard!" Yu Jia waved his fist.
The on-site commentator who had just ridiculed Ji Feng could only say sourly: "This shot is good, but it consumes too much energy. How many times can Ji Feng hit like this?"
No matter how many more times we can fight, Ji Feng wins this time.
Standing on the free throw line, he made the free throw steadily and the point difference returned to 12 points.
Westbrook dribbles the ball, and Ji Feng lets Westbrook take one step away. Due to physical problems, this is currently the best way to defend Westbrook. Ji Feng's defense definitely relies not only on talent, but also on brains. Westbrook's three-point shooting Normally, so Ji Feng simply let it go, just to prevent his breakthrough. At the same time, he also kept an eye on Westbrook and Durant inside. The humiliating moment just now must not happen again.
At the same time, Ji Feng's defense is also a disguised form of pressure on Westbrook. With such a big gap, do you dare to shoot!
Westbrook originally didn't dare, but Ji Feng's shot was really too big. If he didn't shoot the ball, Westbrook felt sorry for himself, so Westbrook adjusted in one step, and then jumped high!
Dry pull!
Westbrook can certainly do it with his physical fitness, but this shooting rate...
Bang!
Needless to say, this ball really shocked Ji Feng into a cold sweat. The basketball came out of the basket. Gasol controlled the rebound under the basket, giving the Lakers a chance to counterattack!
Ji Feng did not press the rhythm. He only saw Ji Feng take a step and then go directly to the free throw line. He took two steps forward, stretched one hand vigorously, and jumped directly. His body drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and he glided and dunked with one hand. !
"Roar~!" Ji Feng roared up to the sky, sweat swaying everywhere. This ball definitely required 100% of his physical energy, but in order to boost his morale, Ji Feng had to do this!
They haven't given up yet!
"It's so tough! Wonderful dunk! Great Ji Feng!" Director Zhang ushered in the most HIGH moment tonight.
Westbrook didn't expect Ji Feng to be so fierce, and he went straight up regardless. He wanted to block the shot from behind, but it was not high enough, so he could only serve as Ji Feng's backdrop.
Another ten points!
Brooks called a timeout.
This ball is so important. 10 points and less than 10 points are definitely two different feelings. Brooks will never allow accidents to happen.
