    It seems that Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks is determined to use Russell Westbrook as the team's offensive arrow in this game, even if Kevin Durant is in the second  The game took a break early in the quarter, but Russell Westbrook still stayed on the court.

    The replacement who promised to serve as the point guard for the Indiana Pacers is backup Darren Collison. Darren Collison's speed and physical fitness are inferior to Russell Westbrook, which makes Russell  Westbrook is playing more smoothly on the court.  Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Russell Westbrook helped the team lead the Indiana Pacers by seven points at 29:22 through a breakthrough layup and an assist.  []

    "Without Promise on the field, no one on the Indiana Pacers can stop Russell Westbrook!" On-site commentator Mark Jackson said, "And even if Promise is on the court, it will be difficult for them to limit Russell Westbrook.  Westbrook¡¯s performance, Westbrook¡¯s ten points in the first quarter is a very strong proof.¡±

    "Although Russell Westbrook performed well alone, the overall strength of the Indiana Pacers' bench is still higher than that of the Oklahoma City Thunder!" Reggie Miller shook his head and said.

    Darren Collison dribbled to the frontcourt and faced Russell Westbrook with the ball.  "This time, I must defeat you!" Darren Collison looked at Russell Westbrook and whispered.

    However, Darren Collison's breakthrough layup was blocked by Russell Westbrook. Oklahoma City Thunder sixth man James Harden immediately launched a defensive counterattack after controlling the ball.  After blocking Darren Collison, Russell Westbrook quickly rushed to the frontcourt and completed an alley-oop with James Harden. Russell Westbrook scored a one-handed dunk!

    "Russell Westbrook has been playing for nearly fifteen minutes in a row, and he doesn't show even a little bit of fatigue. His physical strength is really strong!" Xu Nuo admired sincerely, Xu Nuo said in his heart.  It is clear that in terms of physical strength, there is no way that he can defeat Russell Westbrook and other American boys.

    Just as Xu Nuo was thinking this, the team's head coach Larry Brown had already stood up and asked for a timeout.  Now the team is as many as nine points behind its opponents, and coach Larry Brown can't sit still no matter what.

    "The reason why the Thunder can launch consecutive offenses is because they have a player with such a strong impact in Russell Westbrook." Coach Larry Brown said, "Darren's scoring and passing  The ball is OK, but it is difficult to restrict Russell Westbrook on the defensive end. Therefore, we have to slightly adjust the defensive matchup. Paul George is responsible for marking Russell Westbrook, and Rudy is responsible for defending.  James Harden!¡±

    "In this case, wouldn't Darren have to defend the opponent's small forward Thapo Sefolosha?" After hearing coach Larry Brown's arrangement, team captain Danny Granger immediately raised objections.

    "Thapo Sefolosha plays very little in their offensive system. You should rarely see the opponent creating opportunities for Thapo Sefolosha to attack." Coach Larry Brown took his time  He said, "At the same time, playing against Darren just weakens Thabo Sefolosha's role in defense, and reduces the threat to us. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

    ¡°But if Thapo Sefolosha really gets an offensive opportunity, the opponent will also give him the ball!¡± Darren Collison said with a slight worry.

    "This requires our players to quickly perform defensive rotations!" Coach Larry Brown said, "No matter who it is, when the opponent's players are unguarded, they must step forward as soon as possible to help defend, and they must not be allowed to have easy shooting opportunities.  !¡±

    After the game restarted, Paul George and Rudy Fernandez began to fully defend the Oklahoma City Thunder backcourt duo.  Although Thabo Sefolosha did get some offensive opportunities as a result, Russell Westbrook rarely handed the ball to Thabo Sefolosha.  Facing Paul George, whose physical fitness was not inferior to his own, Russell Westbrook's own offensive efficiency also began to decline, and he was soon replaced by coach Scott Brooks.  At the same time, Thabo Sefolosha was also replaced by Daequan Cook who played as a small forward.

    "Russell Westbrook is finally off the court!" Coach Larry Brown nodded and said to himself, and then looked at Xu Xiu sitting on the team's bench.

    ¡°Come on, promise!¡± Coach Larry Brown gave the substitution order.

    The reason why coach Larry Brown chose to send Xu Nuo at this time is precisely because he wanted to face off against Derek Fisher, the backup point guard of the Oklahoma City Thunder.  In Derek FeeIn front of Er, Xu Nuo had an absolute advantage in speed and physical fitness, and Derek Fisher's so-called experience advantages could not be used at all at this time.  It was during this period of time when Derek Fisher was on the court that he led the Indiana Pacers to catch up and soon narrowed the point difference to only three points.

    "Derek Fisher's defense is really quite poor!" Reggie Miller said in a regretful tone, "Derek Fisher, who was able to kill the San Antonio Spurs in 0.4 seconds, is really  We are already old and can no longer stop the footsteps of young people!"

    Coach Scott Brooks also quickly made substitution adjustments. Not only did Kevin Durant return to the field, but Russell Westbrook, who had just taken a rest for only two or three minutes, also returned to the court again.

    "Russell Westbrook has just rested for less than three minutes and is about to play again. His physical strength is so strong that he is simply inhuman!" Xu Nuo admired in his heart.

    In fact, this is also a helpless move by coach Scott Brooks. Just as the Boston Celtics only have one point guard who can make the mark in Rajon Rondo, the Oklahoma City Thunder also only have Rajon Rondo.  Sel Westbrook alone can play the point guard position very well, and other players such as Derek Fisher, Reggie Jackson and Eric Maynor, who was injured for the season, are difficult to let down.  People are satisfied.  As a result, coach Scott Brooks has to rely more on Russell Westbrook.

    After Russell Westbrook came on the court, he continued his previous good form and hot touch, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder quickly expand the point difference.  With four minutes left before the end of the first half, the away Oklahoma City Thunder led the Indiana Pacers at home by five points, 41:36, and Russell Westbrook's data was  Seventeen points and five assists.

    "Despite the fact that there are players like Kevin Durant, Danny Granger, David West, James Harden and Promise on the court who are performing well, Russell Westbrook relies on his  The leading score in the game completely overshadowed the light of others, even Kevin Durant!" Mark Jackson said eloquently on the sidelines of the court, "Tonight's game undoubtedly belongs to Russell.  Russell Westbrook¡¯s! Russell Westbrook dominated the game and he will be an important guarantee for the Oklahoma City Thunder to win this game!¡±

    "There are still nearly four minutes left before the end of the first half. It is too early to talk about the outcome of the game at this moment." Reggie Miller said.

    "But the initiative in the game rests entirely with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although they are playing away from home, it is entirely possible for them to win this game!" Mark Jackson said.

    On the court, Xu assisted Danny Granger for a layup and got his seventh assist in the game.  But Russell Westbrook soon broke through and scored a layup, and the point difference between the two teams returned to five points again.  Xu Nuo couldn't help but bend down and hold his knees, and began to breathe heavily.

    "It seems that Xu Zhi is quite tired." Coach Brian Shaw, the chief assistant coach of the Indiana Pacers, said to coach Larry Brown. "It is indeed quite difficult for him to deal with Russell Westbrook alone.  "

    "But the only thing that can limit Russell Westbrook in our team is commitment!" Coach Larry Brown said.

    ¡°But this will make Xu Luo consume too much physical energy in the first half, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to perform ideally in the second half of the game.¡± Coach Brian Shaw advised.

    Coach Larry Brown frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, replaced Xu Nuo with backup point guard George Hill.  From then until the end of the first half, Xu Nuo did not return to the court. His first half statistics were fixed at eight points and seven assists.

    Without commitment on the court, Russell Westbrook played more comfortably. Although George Hill specializes in defense, it is difficult for him to limit Russell Westbrook.  At the end of the first half, Russell Westbrook's score had risen to 21 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder also ended the first half with a score of 50:43.

    ¡°If this continues, the promise will be completely blown by Russell Westbrook!¡± Mark Jackson said.

    The commentary partner Reggie Miller beside him shook his head, "Xu Nuo is a very smart player. I believe he will soon find a way to deal with Russell Westbrook!" Reggie Miller said.
