Vol 2 Chapter 542: Which rookie is this! (Two / four!)

The Thunder's toughness is beyond imagination. The Grizzlies' offense and defense are not cheap.
Tucker is almost all-powerful, capable of attacking and defending, and also comes with mental attributes. Under his leadership, the Thunder played an iron plate, and it was a stalemate with the Grizzlies.
At halftime, the score was 46 to 43. The Thunder ended the first half with a three-point lead.
"The Grizzlies paid the price for their underdogs. This Thunder team was extremely tough." At the end of the half-time, the commentators couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, they gave Middleton 11 points, 4 of 7 shots, Tucker made 3 of 2 3-pointers and 8 of 8 shots. These are not the points they can usually get. The Grizzlies midfielder has a good summary. . "The commentator nodded.
"Yes, fortunately, the game has just passed halfway. I believe the Grizzlies will play their characteristics in the second half. We also look forward to seeing if the Thunder can continue to perform so well in the second half." Commentators echoed.
At halftime, the coaching staff of both teams are preparing for the second half.
"The Grizzlies will definitely increase the defensive intensity in the second half and the offensive end will also increase the number of times they hit the basket. Kyle, you start the game in the second half. We reduce the defense in the second half. The chance to win the game ... believe in ourselves, we can win the game. "
"OKC."
"Come on!"
Back in the second half, the Thunder made adjustments to the lineup, and Kyle O'Quin replaced Soflossa, who had performed well before.
"This adjustment is a bit confusing." The home commentator shook his head after seeing it.
"This is not a good adjustment. Sefolosha had a good defense effect in the first half, while Oquin was struggling a bit. This is equivalent to giving up the advantage in the first half." Commentator He shook his head and said.
Between the two talking, the Thunder started the second half.
Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt, still playing to open the space, O'Quin's pick-and-roll, Kidd went out, O'Quin went to the basket.
Conley couldn't support O'Quin, and Prince on the weak side helped him out.
Just then, Middleton took the initiative and took the Tucker pick-and-roll to go outside the three-point line.
Kidd shakes the hand to pass the ball.
Middleton received the ball, watched Randolph coming in for a defense, a sway in the shot, and then stepped in and made a sudden mid-range stop.
"Oh!"
The ball echoed into the net again.
There was an uproar at the scene.
This rookie watch called Middleton was too surprising for them.
Tang Tian is not surprised at all. Middleton himself is very capable. In the previous life, he scored 12 points in the second season. In the slow-paced team of the Bucks, the season average The score has been over 20, and the shooting ability is stable. It is not too much to say that it is a mini version of Durant.
For the Grizzlies' offense, Conley went straight to the basket after picking up a pick and roll from Gasol.
Sure enough, as expected by Tang Tian, ​​the Grizzlies began to increase the number of times they hit the basket.
Conley is an academic point guard. He is very team-oriented, and he watched his teammates when he broke to the basket.
To his surprise, the Thunder didn't play defense. He played small and chose to stop and throw.
Brown saved the interference.
Conley shot again after adjusting in the air.
"boom!"
The ball was a bit heavier and the ball bounced off the back of the rim.
O'Quin then came over to collect defensive rebounds.
Compared to Tucker, O'Quinn has a bigger body and better protection of defensive rebounds.
And he still has the skill to pass.
Kidd has already run forward at this time, O'Quin shakes the hand and passes the ball out.
Kidd is not fast enough to get the ball, the Grizzlies quickly retreat from the perimeter.
But just then, Middleton crossed Conley and crossed the center line.
Kidd waved an early pass and took Middleton to accelerate.
Middleton looked back during the run, caught the pass, ran two steps to the three-point line, and made an emergency stop shot.
Conley flew to seal at this moment.
Middleton closed the ball and waited until Conley flew over before shooting.
There was a restless scene.
This ability to handle the ball is not like a rookie at all!
Middleton shot and his posture was standard.
Watching Middleton's shot at the scene, looking at that slender arm, it felt like seeing Durant's possession.
The spinning basketball caught everyone's attention, and the whole stadium seemed to be slowed down.
"Oh!"
With a crisp sound, Middleton's three-pointer still scored!
There was an uproar at the scene, and the fans were helpless to the naked eye.
Where is this rookie emerging? No, what kind of rookie is this!
At the beginning of the game, he scored 5 points in a row. In the second half, he scored another 5 points!
Is this ... a rookie?
Middleton was very calm after scoring, and turned to retreat.
Defense drives offense, and offense also drives defense. The Thunder's defensive strength on the court is constantly increasing.
Gasol beat the back of the basket and squeezed Brown's turn and shot, but O'Quin assisted the defense from the weak side and slap directly, even covering his shot!
Tu Kefei actually saved the ball back!
The Thunder played another fast break, or Middleton. He caught the layup in the fast break. His arms were long and he avoided Prince's block. Although he didn't score the ball, it caused the latter to foul.
He made two free throws under the booing.
Back in the second half, Middleton personally played a 7-0 attack wave.
If this is at home, the scene must have exploded.
The Grizzlies' offensive attack in the frontcourt hasn't made it yet. Looking back at Tucker's layup, the Grizzlies coach Hollins called out and suspended.
The home commentator and guests stared at each other.
This is completely different from their imagination!
A midfield adjustment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Grizzlies not only didn't hit a counterattack, they were stopped by the Thunder.
And the replacement of Soflossa and O'Quin made a seemingly stupid decision, but it firmly protected the restricted area and had an unexpected effect.
Prior to the brawl, everyone's impression of the Thunder team was talented, but as the main players were suspended, they suddenly discovered that after Tang Tian entered the team, in addition to the talent, this team also Become extremely tough.
After the timeout, the Grizzlies increased the number of back-to-back shots, but the weak side Tucker's defense was still very timely, and their effect was not good.
Returning to the Thunder's bout, Middleton opened it completely, and each of the wings made a mid-range shot.
The Grizzlies were not known for their offense. Now the defense is not working. The whole field is getting more and more chaotic. Even with top point guards like Conley, they can't stop the scene.
