Chapter 121: Rookie's War (4)

The dramatic finale was ineffective, which allowed the Thunder and the Bulls to return to the court after a 48-minute battle. In 2 Yi, this was a double test of players' perseverance and physical strength.

Ba, Anjie has never experienced overtime. However, he was standing in the middle circle and preparing to jump the ball, but he didn't have any special feeling. On the other hand, the Bulls players were bent over and panting, and they were exhausted!

In the five-minute overtime game, this undoubtedly gave Denagro the head. In addition to this game, the Bulls only sent three substitutes to play! It was not that Denagro relied too much on the first five tigers, but that the Bulls' series of injuries made him have no choice. Because of this, the Bulls' first five people consumed a lot of physical strength. Now these five minutes will undoubtedly completely drain their physical strength!

Although the Thunder were fighting against the Rockets yesterday, Jeff Van Gundy was strictly rotating according to the plan and physical strength. Even in the face of overtime, Van Gundy was confident that the players who had enough rest could persevere.

Five minutes of overtime may seem short, but in these intense five minutes, the tormented players will feel that the time is long.

The basketball was still won by Angel, and Tyrus Thomas's physical strength dropped and the jumping height also dropped. Joe Smith caught the basketball that Angel shot, and then passed it to Westbrook who was moving forward. The Thunder's offense officially began!

"Although it's a back-to-back game, the Thunder are like a team playing the first quarter, and the Bulls players are all like lead-shelf." Not to mention the players on the court, even the commentators and fans outside the court clearly saw this point.

Everyone in the Thunder team is full of motivation, and An Jie, a guy who has been resting for a week, is even more active. On the first offense, An Jie turned on the scoring mode!

"Westbrook passed the ball to Durant. It seems that Russell is no longer very confident in himself today. Anger opened his hand to ask for the ball in the low post! Durant feeds him in!" Anger is in the position, which is a signal that the Thunder is going to play in the inside!

Why choose Angel Jeff Van Gundy naturally has his own considerations. First, Angel is full of energy after a full rest, and good physical fitness is the basis for excellent performance. Durant and other outside players may fluctuate their hit rate due to the decline in physical strength. At this time, choosing Angel as the offensive core of overtime is undoubtedly the most suitable choice!

Nervous, Tyrus Thomas did not expect that he would feel nervous when facing a rookie. Any loss of points in overtime could ruin his efforts throughout the night.

But this is the hard gap in strength, and Thomas has nothing to fill the gap.

An Jie turned around and planned to force a breakthrough. Yio's weight of 2 kilograms was not yet in an advantage, which made Thomas unable to stop An Jie's movement at all. There was no way, he could only watch An Jie break into the penalty area, and now he could only find a blocking opportunity to remedy the failed defense in front.

After Anjie broke into the basketball, he slapped the ball with both hands. This is the habit of most centers preparing to jump and dunk on the spot! Thomas used all his strength to jump, and he wanted to use a beautiful hot pot to fight back!

Unfortunately, Anjie was not within the range of most centers. He made this move just to make Thomas fool. Seeing Tyrus jump, Anjie still attacked the frame. Facing Thomas, who was much shorter than him, Anjie was almost uninterrupted. Although he was hit with a little unstable center of gravity, he still tried hard to keep his move, and the basketball also fell into it with great confidence.

At the same time, the referee's rushing whistle sounded throughout the United Center Arena, 2yi!

Anjie's free throws were still as stable as ever. So far, Anjie has only lost one in the fourth quarter, but he did not make the same mistake again in overtime.

Do you want to replace Joe Jin Noah? Denagro is in a dilemma. If he doesn't replace someone, the only thing he can do is double-team. After all, Thomas has completely defeated, so he undoubtedly chose to commit suicide by defending the Angel Bulls against him.

For the Bulls' attack, Derek Ross was not to be outdone. He used his only remaining strength to break into the penalty area like crazy. Facing Anjie's block, Ross, who made a layup from the side, avoided the block with a beautiful lever, and then glided to the other side of the basket, he successfully made a counter-scratch.

97 to 96! The two sides fight again!

Anjie threatened with the ball with three high positions. After a few test steps, Anjie suddenly started a breakthrough, and then used the series turn to shake Thomas so much that he jumped up and easily scored a close-range jump shot.

Derek Ross broke through to the three-second zone, but he did not choose to make a layup after this, but suddenly made a throw. Ross's throwing posture was strange, but he could use his height advantage well. Basketball hollow Zoe and Westbrook still failed to defend Ross.

At this time, the overtime game had been halfway through. Jeff Van Gundy quickly called for a timeout after Ross scored the second goal. Now it's time to start the second step.

After the timeout, the Thunder's offense changed immediately. Sure enough, Denagro did not replace Noah to try it, but instead double-teamed Anjie.

This also corresponds to Van Gundy's arrangement. This time, Watson, who has better shooting ability, replaced Wilkins in order to make the opportunity from the outside line turn into a score. You know, there are still two-level scorers on the outside line.

Ben Gordon naturally did not dare to leave Durant, but Angel chose to play singles with Thomas near Ben Gordon.

Seeing An Jie turn around and break through the frame, Ben Gordon ran to the penalty area without any more worries.

An Jie realized that he had been disturbed more and immediately turned around and fed the ball out. Durant took the ball and shot it in the three-point line. He also made great efforts to give An Jie an assist.

Seeing the score getting bigger and bigger, Derek Ross' offense became stronger and stronger. However, this time his breakthrough hit a wall again. Anjie did not wait for him at the basket, but instead stood in advance, so that he could not only defend Ross' throwing, but also physically confront him when Ross was just taking three steps to prepare for a layup, thereby interfering with him.

"Can Derek Ross re-sum this time? No, Ross missed. He barely made a layup this time without scoring! Do you know how powerful Angel's defense is? Ask Derek Ross, you will definitely get the answer!"

If Ross doesn't work, he will substitute him. Anyway, the Bulls have three defenders who can score on the court. Denagro shouted a secret code on the sidelines, signaling the players to change the offensive end point.

During this period, the Thunder scored again. It was still the pass from Anjie pretending to be a single. Earl Watson yi played a role when he came on the court, and his steady mid-range shot made the Thunder gain a greater advantage.

"I think the Bulls are about to be unable to withstand it. The Thunder's offensive momentum is very strong. An Jie made the Bulls suffer on both ends of the offense and defense. Maybe this is the role that a traditional center can play. Now no one will question An Jie's health, he has no problem!" Espn's commentator also praised An Jie repeatedly. Outside of TV, TV stations around the world today praised An Jie's performance. It was originally a competition between the best rookies of the month in the East and West, but An Jie came out halfway and became the most dazzling one.

Denagro's beautiful fantasy was not realized. Although Ben Gordon's offense was very good throughout the game, he was in overtime. With Durant's defensive determination to never take a step back, this British basketball player failed to make a shot.

The same thing happened to Larry Hughes. Seeing that his two big brothers could not stand up, Ross began his crazy breakthrough again.

However, Ross can no longer raise much of the game after this. Now Westbrook has no problem with defending him, and Derek Ross is like the one before, starting high and closing low.

After Rossyi started to make two consecutive layups, the Bulls' scores remained unchanged. Yes, they did not change until the last second of overtime.

"Oh my God! Who would have thought that these five minutes of overtime would be a massacre!"

yi5 to 4, this is the score of the two teams within five minutes of overtime. Except for Derek Ross' two goals, the others made no achievements, and Ross did not continue his performance in the second half of overtime. In the whole five minutes, the Bulls scored four points with two goals from Ross.

"Anjie is undoubtedly the top priority for the Thunder's victory. This center will completely dominate overtime! He has done perfectly in both offense and defense!" espn selected Anjie as the best in the game without hesitation.

Yio99 to 98, Derek Ross and his Bulls survived 48 minutes, but completely collapsed in the last 5 minutes.

With 28 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, Anjie proved with practical actions that he is no worse than the East and West Rookie's Month. Anjie is also a strong contender for this award and even the Rookie of the Year!

Durant used his actions to prove that the second place was worse than the first place, while Anjie used his actions to prove that even the twelfth place had the possibility of defeating the first place!
