The Godfather of Basketball

James flew over directly after seeing it.

Westbrook made 3 of 4 three-pointers tonight, and he is absolutely sure to make such an open spot.

All eyes on the scene were fixed on the field.

Westbrook still chose to shoot a three-pointer, and James' physical fitness was so strong that he was able to make up the defense in place!

But at this moment, what everyone, including James, didn't expect was that Westbrook pulled the ball back.

This turned out to be a feint!

The fans' hearts jumped to their throats.

After Westbrook received the ball, he dribbled directly from under James to the free throw line.

There are only 2 seconds left in the game!

Thompson on the inside flew straight out.

Westbrook made a direct shot from the free throw line.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Westbrook only had eyes for the basket after the jump.

"I want you to do what you do best."

What Tang Tian said at the beginning echoed in his mind.

He didn't understand it very well at the time, but at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment and enlightenment.

He can practice three-pointers, but the mid-range pull-ups he has practiced throughout college are his best scoring methods now!

The ball is released, and he can feel that the ball is going to be scored.

"Rebound!"

At this moment, Spoelstra's shouts from the sidelines brought everything back to reality.

Thompson turned and went back for the defensive rebound.

But halfway through the run he stopped.

The shot was right.

"Shua!"

"beep!"

With a crisp sound, like the most beautiful rhythm in the world, the ball went into the net hollow!

And at the moment the ball hit the net, the red light on the sidelines also lit up.

Buzzer!

Lore!

The fans at the scene went crazy.

Harden and Durant rushed to Westbrook and yelled at him. Ibaka and Diaw rushed to hug him and wanted to lift him up.

"Russell! Russell!"

The fans chanted Westbrook's name.

After being silent for more than a dozen games, after being questioned for so long, in the most critical game, he finally played out!

Quantification, after accumulating to a certain extent, finally produced a qualitative change!

Many fans even wiped their tears with excitement, they have waited long enough for this moment!

The players on the sidelines of the Thunder also rushed onto the court in the next second.

But Westbrook broke away from his teammates at this moment and jumped directly onto the technical stage. His expression was the most excited.

He slapped his chest and shouted excitedly at the 20,000 spectators, and the ferocious expression on his face showed his mood at the moment.

It's so cool!

Let go!

The Big Three of the Heat off the court gathered together at this time, this kind of lore is the most hurtful, and they need each other to comfort and encourage each other.

122 to 121, the Thunder beat the Heat by 1 point in the Christmas game, which was broadcast live across the United States, ending the opponent's 10-game winning streak.

Durant had 26 points and 6 rebounds, Harden had 17 points and 5 assists, Ibaka had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, Kidd had 9 points and 3 assists, Diaw had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Of course, the best performer was Westbrook. He scored a team-high 32 points, plus 7 rebounds and 6 assists. He made 3 of 4 three-pointers and made only 3 turnovers. He played the best game of the season.

For the Heat, James scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Wade and Bosh each scored 24 points, and Ray Allen had 15 points.

A soul-stirring game, worthy of the name of the Christmas game.

At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian brought Westbrook, Durant, and Harden to attend.

"Westbrook played the best game of the season, coach, how do you feel? Will you be surprised or surprised?" The reporter first asked Tang Tian.

"No, the coaching staff and I have always believed in him. He has proven himself now, and he is the top guard in the league." Tang Tian praised without hesitation.

"Russell, you played an atypical game, will this still be your way of playing in the future?" The reporter asked Westbrook.

"No no, this is how I play, the way I play now." Westbrook said with a smile.

"You shot 13 of 19 shots tonight, a very high shooting percentage, but you can't guarantee that you can play so efficiently every night." The reporter raised doubts.

"Yes, but I will help the team in other ways. I believe in my teammates. We are a team." After Westbrook got the hang of it, his mind seemed to become more enlightened.

When Durant and Harden heard it, they couldn't help but nodded with a smile.

Looking at this scene, Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning of the season, Harden was a little dissatisfied because of role problems, and then Westbrook couldn't find his position.

Well now, Westbrook changed his style of play and finally allowed the three of them to play the effect of 1+1+1\u003e3.

Westbrook played a masterpiece in the key battle, which attracted cheers from the media and fans.

However, amidst the cheers, there were still many doubts.

"Dude, he's 3-for-4 from 3-point range, 13-for-19, this isn't Russell Westbrook, this is Kevin Durant, he can't play like this all the time, changed roles, once He doesn't feel good, and he's still going to be the same as before." Barkley said bluntly on TNT's show.

His remarks also attracted the echo of many media, such as FOX Sports, who used sour words to look forward to Westbrook's next performance to evaluate this Christmas game.

The vigorous Christmas game came to an end, and the Thunder continued their season journey after three days of rest.

At this time, half of the season has passed, and all teams have begun to accumulate energy for the playoffs.

The Thunder have their last two games in 2012, one against the Lakers and one against the Pacers.

The performance of the Lakers in F4 was far below expectations, and they even changed coaches one after another. D'Antoni is the third head coach of the season, and the team's defense is poor.

The Thunder finally defeated their opponents 112 to 98 and ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories. Westbrook continued to play efficiently, contributing 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists on 9 of 15 shots, with only 2 turnovers.

The Pacers' lineup is similar to last season, and their strength has steadily improved after the season's run-in.

George's main defense against Westbrook limited his performance very well.

However, Westbrook did a good job of containing the defense and passing the ball, and finally helped the Thunder win this strong matchup 107 to 101.

Durant scored a team-high 35 points and 7 rebounds, and Harden also scored 23 points and 5 assists.

Westbrook only took 10 shots, but hit 7 of them, scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists efficiently, and made only 1 turnover, of which 3 rebounds were offensive rebounds.

In the previous life, Westbrook became a data paranoid because of Durant's departure, but after Tang Tian's transformation, and after a long period of accumulation, he really got the hang of it and evolved into the "God Turtle" that fans expected.
