Chapter 782: There is no way
Brooks was completely unable to address the Warriors' threat on a tactical level, and they still targeted Durant this time around, and although they fell behind in the score for a while, they eventually came out on top.
At halftime, the Warriors led by three points. Not a lot of points, but Brooks seems to see the same ending again.
The Warriors are determined to consume Durant, and although Durant has been scoring, he will still be tired after all.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors switched to a small lineup, which is their most commonly used lineup.
Chen Mo, Curry, Thompson, Kirilenko, Millsap.
Durant has basically given up defense, he only participates in defense in positional battles, and the Warriors' fast break he basically doesn't quickly run back to defense.
Westbrook was alone with the Warriors, and the effect was extremely poor.
Westbrook was in a hurry, and he played more singles. As soon as you hit a lot of iron, the warriors can directly counterattack.
Another wave of offense in the second half of the third quarter was 15-4, and the Warriors took a double-digit lead.
The final quarter of the game was almost the same as the previous one, and the Thunder were completely unable to stop the Warriors, and they lost again.
Lost 3 in a row.
Suffice it to say, the Oklahoma City Thunder is hopeless.
Some fans cried at the time, and although the series was not over yet, they would never advance again.
The Thunder did not encounter any roster flaws in the previous games, but they have been used to make it 0-3, and they are unlikely to improve their strength in the next games, and they are almost hopeless against the Warriors.
Oklahoma still has the media making a fuss about Chen Mo's contract renewal, but with one year left on Chen Mo's contract, and at the same time, the Warriors official and Chen Mo himself have come out to refute the rumors, the incitement effect is no longer great.
"If you win the next game, I'll really convince you. Westbrook spoke.
In the face of real strength, there is nothing to admit.
In Jordan's time, no one thought they were better than Jordan. Because those opponents were all subdued by Jordan. Arrogance like Reggie Miller, although he is extremely dissatisfied with Jordan, he still admits that Jordan is stronger than himself.
"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded.
With the Warriors taking a 3-0 lead in the series, the Warriors fans on the Internet can be said to be extremely comfortable, and those Thunder fans who have been spraying them for a long time have rarely spoken. But there are still many people accusing, they think that Chen Mo is not as good as Wei Shao.
If Westbrook himself admits it, there may be some people who say that Wei Shao is just "polite" and "modest". But there will be a lot fewer such people after all. The scolding war on the Internet will not be set off on such a large scale again.
The game between the Spurs and the Lakers was the most intense in the second round of the entire playoffs, the Lakers won the game in the first game with Kobe Bryant's final quasi-kill, and in the second game, the Spurs took the game away with Duncan scoring six points in a row in the final moments.
In the third game, the Spurs and Lakers are still inseparable.
They were at a stalemate until the last minute.
This time it was the Los Angeles Lakers who laughed at the end.
It was Chris Paul who helped the Lakers win the game. He scored consecutive points in the final quarter, passing two consecutive passes to Howard in the air, and the final three-pointer sealed the victory.
The Lakers relied on another super-guard to help the team win.
With a total score of 2-1, the Lakers temporarily took the lead.
"It's time for our side to end. Chen Mo said when asked by reporters about his thoughts on another series.
'We're not going to bring the game back to Auckland. Chen Mo said: "Tonight is the time to settle the battle." After that we will be in Auckland, waiting for our next opponent. ”
Although Chen Mo said it calmly, he still seemed extremely arrogant.
His hubris justified, not just by a 0-3 scoreline, but also by the strength of the Golden State Warriors.
"We will be back. "We're going to bring the game back to Oklahoma," Westbrook said. ”
In a last-ditch fight, Westbrook also had to say something to paralyze himself. There was no way, they were already on the edge of the cliff.
The game was soon underway, and the Warriors were still using the same old routine. They started with a small lineup and then went against Durant.
Brooks still didn't think of a way this time, and they still started Kevin Martin. However, they made a slight change, they put Durant at center, reduced the range of movement, and let Westbrook and Kevin Martin start the game.
Although Kevin Martin knows that he is not Chen Mo's opponent at all, this does not prevent him from wanting to defeat the other party.
"One time is enough. Kevin Martin thinks so. He started the game quite well today, he didn't have any pressure. After all, he doesn't have to carry the pot for losing, he plays for a while if he plays well, and goes to the bench to watch the game if he doesn't play well.
With two three-pointers in a row, Kevin Martin finally became a glimmer of hope for the Thunder.
Wonder!
Brooks finally smiled.
But that hope didn't last long, and the Warriors changed their defensive strategy, starting to flank Durant and instead let go of Westbrook's defense.
They put the main target of attrition on Westbrook, while Chen Mo came out to defend Kevin Martin.
Any hope of thunder, Chen Mo must be wiped out as soon as possible.
Kevin Martin didn't play well in the last game, and Durant's threat outside the three-point line was greater, so Chen Mo didn't care about him.
Today is different, Kevin Martin has a good hand, and Durant plays the No. 5 position, he can't shoot as many three-pointers, and the threat is smaller.
The three-point shot and the two-point shot kill are completely different.
Moreover, when Durant is under the basket, the Warriors must also pinch him, otherwise his height and reach are too efficient under the basket, so it is natural that Westbrook has become the main consumer of the Warriors.
Brooks quickly understood, but there was nothing he could do.
"Damn!" Brooks had been scratching his hair more than once today. He used to be a very good looker, but today his hair is scratched.
Losing this game, Brooks is definitely going to be out of class.
But he really couldn't figure out a way.
Thunder's tactic is two less, the other party wants to consume two less, can he replace two less?
In fact, the Warriors can deal with this style of play, and the Thunder can completely deal with it.
Chen Mo helped Thunder think about it, and he even made a plan to deal with it, but Brooks has not changed. The change he made was to start Kevin Martin, a clumsy trap to try to crack the Warriors' tactics, which is ridiculous. 8)
