At the end of the first quarter of the game, Charles Barker said in a sympathetic tone: "Poor Thunder, Anxi's current state is so good that it explodes, it's just to prevent anyone from being iron." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Kenny Smith also said: "At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs had a huge lead of 39:20 and 19 points, and the Thunder may have to think about what they had a problem with, and in my opinion, Scott Brooks should not replace Kevin Durant, even if he can't make even one shot." ”

Kenny is right, maybe Scott Brooks still hasn't realized that Kevin Durant can't score points because he doesn't have a good hand, but because Anxi's defense is too strong. ”

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith sprayed wildly at Scott Brooks, and in the first quarter of this game, Scott Brooks' adjustment was indeed disastrous, but fortunately, in the second quarter, Scott Brooks reacted and three were on the same page.

Facing three outside All-Star level attackers, Anxi alone can't guard against so many people.

So, the game returned to the rhythm of the Spurs scoring and the Thunder chasing points, relying on the play of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder barely continued to expand the point difference, but narrowed the point difference to 15 points through a wave of small climaxes in the middle of the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs still firmly controlled the point difference, and the 15-point advantage has been maintained, for the Thunder, if you want to chase points, Kevin Durant's scoring point must be opened, because Kevin Durant is the strongest scoring point of the Thunder, but now this scoring point is locked by Anxi, there is no chance at all, in more than two quarters, Kevin Durant shot 3 of 11 and only scored 8 points.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs began to speed up the offensive tempo under the guidance of Popovich, and Tony Parker cut in as soon as he arrived in the frontcourt and rushed to the inside to make a layup.

Then he turned around to block Russell Westbrook's strong shot, Tim Duncan grabbed the rebound, and then launched a fast break, rushing to the front court Anxi received the ball to complete the dunk, and in a few minutes, the Spurs extended the difference to more than 20 points.

Scott Brooks was forced to call a timeout again, and for the Thunder, the best outcome of this battle was to win, and if it couldn't win, it was acceptable, but if it was a heavy defeat, it was unacceptable anyway.

Scott Brooks roared in the dugout, then energized his players in an impassioned tone.

The game restarted, the Spurs continued to be the main force, and the 20-point difference was far from enough for the Spurs, according to Popovich's vision, he had to confirm the victory of this game before the end of the third quarter.

After returning to the court, the Thunder's offense became more resolute, Russell Westbrook held the ball and resolutely rushed into the interior, which was completely a desperate posture.

The referee's whistle blows, the ball goes in!

There was a cheer from the Thunder bench, which naturally corresponded to the entire at& amp; The boos in the T arena shook the sky.

Russell Westbrook was in a state of excitement, constantly swinging his fists downward, yelling excitedly, and standing on the free throw line amid a boo.

The free throw was hit, and Russell Westbrook scored 2+1.

After the Thunder's quick return to defense, as if motivated by Scott Brooks, they all started to fight hard, and the movement on the defensive end also increased, Tony Parker cut inside, was squeezed by Kendrick Perkins and Russell Westbrook, and finally fell to the floor.

The referee's whistle blew again, the Thunder fouled, and Tony Parker walked to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws, and the score was closed by one point by the Thunder.

It's the Thunder's offense again, this time the breakthrough was replaced by James Harden, rushing to the inside, James Harden threw the basketball out in an extremely weird posture, and the referee whistled again and fouled again!

Manuginobili touched James Harden's arm, but after the referee blew the whistle, Manuginobili jumped up and began complaining about the referee's whistle.

Because just now, the referee began to have a biased whistle, when the Spurs attacked, the Thunder's action was very big, but the referee was indifferent, and now the Thunder attacked, James Harden found a whistle, the referee actually blew, and the penalty scale was inconsistent, as an experienced veteran in the league, Manuginobili must stand up and put pressure on the referee, otherwise if it goes on like this, this game will be ruined by the referee sooner or later.

The referee warned Manuginobili, who took it and stopped complaining about the penalty.

And Popovich also took advantage of this opportunity to make free throws and made another substitution, replacing Tim Duncan with Kawhi Leonard, replacing Tony Parker with Danny Green, and replacing Boris Dior with De Juan Blair.

Manuginobili's complaint is still effective, the Spurs' offense, the Thunder's defensive action is much smaller, and it seems that he is afraid of the referee looking for a whistle, after all, this game is still the home game of the Spurs, although the referee will favor the Thunder, but he does not dare to go too far.

In the offensive round of the Thunder, after the Spurs changed to a small lineup, the change of defense was even faster, except for Anxi's dead defense Kevin Durant, everyone else will make a lot of defensive changes, Russell Westbrook broke through with the ball, rushed into the interior layup, but was made up by DeJuan Blair big hat pegboard!

As a result, the Thunder, which had just improved through foul play, went out again.

Russell Westbrook's offensive failure proved that it wasn't enough to win the game just by working hard.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led by 26 points heading into the fourth quarter.

Popovich smiled and pulled off all of his main players, and in the fourth quarter, the Spurs' lineup changed to point guard Patrick Mills, shooting guard Garry Neal, small forward Danny Green, power forward DeJuan Blair and center Thiago Split.

And Scott Brooks has been hesitating, should he let the main team continue to play and fight for this victory?

In the end, Scott Brooks still chose to give up, after the third quarter, the Thunder fell behind by 26 points, if the fourth quarter continues to fight hard, even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory, the physical fitness of the main players will be exhausted, on the other hand, the Spurs, the main players have long been on the bench to talk and laugh, so back to the home game, do the Thunder still want to win?

Losing two away games in a row, Scott Brooks thinks it's acceptable, but if he loses the next home game because of this away game, it won't be cost-effective, not to mention that even if the Thunder send all the main forces, they will definitely be able to win?

So, in the fourth quarter, the Thunder replaced the full bench and announced that they would abandon the game. (To be continued.) )
