Chapter 474: I Almost Believed It (1/3)

The Thunder team is so powerful that he is a team that you can't understand the upper limit and the lower limit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When they're good, it's like the game when the Warriors broke their winning streak. Westbrook played Nash's distribution shot, Kevin Durant became Kobe Bryant who knew how to distribute the ball and had a good hand, and James Harden was like Crawford with an explosive hand.

Whoever touches such a thunder dies really can't be beaten.

That's pretty much what the Grizzlies did with the Thunder today, with Durant exploding, Westbrook not committing a two-two at all, and Harden steadily getting up from the bench to provide a powerful firepower point.

When Wei Shaobu went crazy and began to move the ball, when the only player in the league who could defend Durant did not exist, coupled with Durant's explosive touch, the Grizzlies' defense was like a broken boat that had been leaked, and water was leaking everywhere.

The Thunder scored 47 points in the first quarter, Durant scored 26 points and the Grizzlies scored just 29 points in the first quarter, and they looked like they were about to lose tonight.

"As long as the Thunder can continue this kind of offense in the second quarter, the game will be directly spent. Chen Mo shook his head and said, "We can start thinking about the game against the Thunder, and the preparations we have made for the Grizzlies can basically be thrown into the trash." ā€

The next situation was not bad as Chen Mo expected, the Oklahoma people's offense was extremely strong, James Harden came up with the bench and threw two three-pointers, and the game has entered a very unfavorable situation for the Memphis.

Then, the Thunder did not let up, and the Grizzlies did not drag the game into a tie-break at home, and they ushered in a rout.

In the end, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 124-105 to achieve the final victory of the series.

On May 13, the schedule for the second round of the playoffs is scheduled, and the first game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Thunder and Warriors will start tomorrow night.

At this time, the first game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Spurs ended yesterday, with the Purple and Gold defending the Staples Center, and the Los Angeles Lakers rewrote the overall score to 1-0.

"Who do you think San Antonio or Los Angeles will make to the Western Conference Finals?" asked Curry.

Chen Mo said: "Who do you care who he is!

And for the fans, the second round of the West will be very interesting. The Warriors and Thunder are new forces in the two leagues, and the clash of young people is the main theme of this series, and the game looks very suspenseful.

There are no less stories between these two teams.

Harden and DeRozan are good friends, and he and Chen Mo are both rookies in 09, in the humiliating incident in Orlando training camp, Harden absolutely supports his friend DeRozan, and the grudge between him and Chen Mo is very storytelling.

The Thunder is the team with the Warriors' starting winning streak in the middle of this season, and Westbrook has made a winning declaration through the media again and again, and finally gave the Warriors a strong block at home.

Although Durant did not show great hostility towards the Warriors and Chen Mo, he must have faithfully stood by his brother's side.

And the war of words broke out on the night of the end of the game between the Thunder and Grizzlies.

Westbrook threw out in front of the media, "Do you think Jack Chan can get all the first-place votes to be elected MVP?"

Wei Shao replied, "I definitely won't choose him! Besides, who is he?"

"It's very exciting to meet in the playoffs, and I think Europa fans would be more interested in seeing that kind of matchup!" Harden said. In fact, since the Oklahoma media made the "countdown to the winning streak" and the "Jack Chan himself slap party" called for, Chen Mo's relationship with the city has become very poor.

And Coach Brooks immediately began to talk about this series with the Warriors at the post-game press conference.

"Yes, they have a strong fast break, and the outside combo is a great weapon to push them on offense. But I think we have more energy on the outside, and in the series against the Warriors, I'm thinking about starting James Harden. Let's put the key to victory and defeat on the outside matchup. ā€

That's what Brooks said, but who knows if he's setting off a smoke bomb?

Chen Mo immediately expressed his opinion after the open training on the second day, "Yes, we will definitely change the formation." Because they are special opponents after all, the last time we played them felt very far away. We've been improving and adjusting throughout the season. We're not rivals who know each other very well, so maybe we'll try to start with a small line-up. ā€

This is the rhetoric that Chen Mo discussed with Timothy Glenn, and Chen Mo only regarded what Brooks said as a smoke bomb. If Harden is allowed to start, how can the bench lineup still have offensive power? Let Fisher, an old fish who joined the Thunder in the middle of the game, drive the offensive power of the rotation lineup? Isn't that?

But the warriors can't just watch others set off smoke bombs! they have to put off some smoke bombs, and they have a point.

"Oklahoma have a fast lineup, so we have to be faster than them. Chen Mo added.

Chen Mo added a lot of content to the tactical analysis, which made their smoke bombs look more reasonable, and Chen Mo himself almost believed it.

Brooks immediately fell into the thought after receiving Chen Mo's smoke bomb, if the Warriors really started with a small lineup, their tactics would definitely change. And they played six games against the Grizzlies, leaving them with only one day to prepare, and the tight schedule was a little breathless. This year's playoffs are half a month later than usual, so the tight schedule is a bit suffocating.

Whether or not to target the Warriors' small lineup made Brooks very hesitant. If he doesn't make a targeted arrangement, and the Warriors' small lineup collapses at the beginning, there will definitely be media scolding him, and everyone has said, you don't follow it?

If the Warriors change formations, there will definitely be media scolding him, stupid and fooled.

However, the Warriors are back in the regular season championship this season, and they are super strong in their own right, even if they play the Thunder normally, it is a disadvantage, and it doesn't really matter whether they want to target Harden's sudden start or not. The pressure is on Brooks' side.

Brooks ultimately decided to start against the Warriors' small lineup, preferring to believe that the Warriors were too much of himself and revealing his tactical intentions, because he would be under less pressure to do so.

There wasn't much time left for the Thunder to prepare, and the tactics were all laid out when they arrived in Oakland.
