Vol 3 Chapter 117: tenacious

　　
　
　
　　->　->　　Gobert is really unfortunate. It's okay for a whole season, and it hurts as soon as the playoffs play!
　　 Sir is even more unfortunate.
　　 They had been struggling to compete with the Thunder in this series, but now they are overshadowed by Gobert's injury.
　　 However, the extent of the injury is still uncertain. But judging from the solemn expression and words of the team doctor, Gobert couldn't come back in this game.
　　 It's time to test Hayward!
　　 Adams once again served the touchline. But this time Westbrook did not launch a fast break after receiving the ball. He pressed for a while before reaching the top of the arc.
　　 Hill did not stick to Westbrook. Everyone knows his playing style, so most teams put Westbrook on long shots. Even this season, Westbrook can always break out of the three-point line from time to time.
　　 And for them, even if Westbrook's breakthrough is unstoppable, he must consume enough energy to cross the three-point line.
　　 But Westbrook is not a player who rushes straight from the start. He moved the ball quickly to the right for a certain distance, and hung the ball to the basket.
　　 Adams has already ran back and cut there. He had pulled out to give Westbrook a pick and roll, but Westbrook didn't rush in under his cover. However, the tacit understanding between the two is really good. Adams dropped directly to Dior and went straight to the basket.
　　 Thunder's first goal was completed in the form of Adams' empty catch. Chesapeake Energy Arena fell into a burst of excitement in an instant.
　　 Looking back, Hill took the ball to Hayward after halftime. The latter faced Robertson's close defense and lobbed the ball twice to the deeper Dior.
　　 Dior, who received the ball, pressed his and arched inward. But Adams is not one of those young insiders who can't help but feel weak. He posted it directly, holding on to the opponent, not allowing him to get close to the basket.
　　 After arching twice and discovering that the effect was not good, Dior directly installed himself and shot backwards.
　　 Although only "one centimeter" high, it is also a backward jumper! An Luo's eyes lit up from the bench! When this kind of action appears on a defender, you will always find countless kinds of things that are not done properly. But if it appeared to a big man, it would only be amazed.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 Basketball hit the net, and the Jazz responded.
　　 Although the game just started, it can be seen that the Jazz did not lose their fighting spirit without Gobert.
　　 Westbrook continues to hold the ball. He accelerated to a forty-five-degree angle on the right, and a Sam Gold swayed past Hill who was guarding him and rushed in.
　　 But he failed to end this attack directly, Dior immediately made up his defense.
　　 Westbrook rushed hard. If Dior was a little slower, maybe he would fly.
　　 But Dior would not give him such a chance. If Gobert was there, he wouldn't need to worry about such things. That guy will solve all the enemies who dare to provoke the jazz penalty area.
　　 It's time for him to stand up now. Dior almost stopped outside the reasonable collision zone the moment Westbrook broke through Hill. If Westbrook can't help but hit him directly, it must be an offensive foul. He has to make himself invincible first. Then he raised his hands and made a defensive action like a volleyball player.
　　 Westbrook didn't believe in evil, he directly threw the ball against Dior who had come to the defense with a high throw.
　　 Unfortunately, the strength of this ball is too much.
　　Dior is satisfied with his defense. As a player, using his own defense to let the opponent advance and retreat is really a very happy thing.
　　He is about to say something to Westbrook. But there was a burst of cheers from the audience.
　　 At that moment, he knew that things might not be that simple.
　　 When Dior made up his defense, he had forgotten that Gobert was gone. He was the last protection of the Jazz, so no one behind him dreamed of it.
　　 When Dior turned his head, Adams had taken off easily and dunked again.
　　 He didn't feel angry because he was teased by the other party. Who on the court has never encountered such a thing. As an inside player, he sees many things like this.
　　 So he took the ball, pushed quickly beyond the baseline, and sent the ball to his teammates. Favors received the ball from the left elbow. He had a chance to shoot, but he still hesitated. When he wanted to make a move, there was no chance.
　　 Fortunately, he quickly passed the ball to Dior, who was low on the right. The latter glanced at his eyes, shook his hand, and threw the basketball straight to Ingles, who cut from the center.
　　 The latter steadily scored the ball and the two sides drew again.
　　 played a few rounds, the two sides can be described as you come and go, wonderful constantly ~EbookFREE.me~ However, from the current point of view, the core players of both sides have not shown a very strong offense. However, Westbrook has always been like this. He always starts from looking for teammates. He will take over the team's offense when his teammates can't score.
　　 Then and a few minutes later, Hayward finally started to act. He first broke the left bottom line and caused Robertson to foul and made two free throws; then he made a super long three-pointer with the cover of his teammate. Go ahead in one fell swoop!
　　 is not only on the offensive end, on the defensive end, Hayward has also made a lot of contributions to his team. Helped to defend in time to steal Grant; standing early, causing Robertson's offensive foul. This is also a key factor for the Jazz to lead the Thunder.
　　 Of course, it’s not just Hayward’s credit that can get a temporary lead. The role players, including Dior, Favors and Hill, have all made their due contributions.
　　 If compared with last season, this season's Jazz did a good job, it must be toughness. They can always rely on their tenacious defense when they are behind, and slowly pull back the situation of the game. He can always use his own offensive firepower that does not explode to resist the opponent's counterattack.
　　 Donovan called a timeout when the team fell behind by 5 points. He is quite dissatisfied with the current state of his team. The offense is okay, able to keep scoring. But the defense is very poor. Robertson is a defensive master, but if he can limit Hayward, he has done a good job. But in this period of competition, he has been wiping Westbrook and Grant. So much so that I even ignored what I should do.
