After all, the game had just begun, and even if he was behind, it would only be a few rounds to catch up, so Scott Brooks fell silent and did not choose to make a substitution. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The game on the court continued, Russell Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Kevin Durant came around to ask for the ball.
After receiving the ball, a three-threat action faced An Xi, a probe step under his feet, shook it, and then directly pulled up a three-point shot.
Although in the first two games, Kevin Durant had a dismal shooting rate under Anxi's defense, Kevin Durant still had to attack with the ball in this game, after all, he was the star of the Thunder, and it was impossible to give up his personal offense because of the poor state of one or two games.
However, Anxi's personal state is now at its peak, especially the defensive awareness, which is already a full value of 99 points.
As soon as Kevin Durant pulled it up, An Xi stuck it up, reached out and blocked the best shooting angle of the ball, only to hear a bang, the basketball smashed into the hoop, bounced back, and still didn't go in.
Kevin Durant sighed, seeing that the rebound was snatched by Kawhi Leonard, he couldn't think about anything, and hurriedly chose to return to defense.
"Kevin Durant didn't score again, he has become a soy sauce character under Anxi's defense, but Scott Brooks can't replace him yet, because at least Kevin Durant has attracted Anxi's attention, which is his only role. ”
The Spurs grabbed the rebound and started to play a fast break, Tony Parker used his speed advantage, rushed all the way to the frontcourt, received the ball, and took advantage of the Thunder's unstable foothold to score 2 points on a layup, 10:2.
Then, Russell Westbrook rushed inside, drew the bag and split the ball to the outside, Saab Seforrosa took the ball and aimed it for the basket, then raised his hand to shoot the basket, and hit it with a bang, 10-5.
The Spurs served in the backcourt and rushed to the frontcourt, and Tony Parker made a three-pointer, which also hit the same shot, and also made a color!13:5.
The Thunder's offense, or Russell Westbrook, rushed to the interior and completed a layup in front of Tim Duncan, but the basketball spun around the basket and still fell and didn't go in!
Anxi rushed in to take the rebound, then raised the ball over his head, a long pass, and Tony Parker again, the French sports car received the basketball in a high-speed sprint, and completed the layup with a big stride, 15:5.
In two or three minutes, the Spurs relied on the counterattack and fast break after the successful defense, scoring consecutive points, and soon the difference came to 10 points.
Scott Brooks was in a hurry, and if he continued like this, wouldn't he get into the rhythm of the previous game again, so he could only run to the sidelines, make a timeout gesture, and ask for a long timeout.
"James, get ready to play, Kevin, next you play more without the ball, let's control the tempo, play the success rate in the offense, don't give the Spurs a chance to counterattack the fast break. Scott Brooks quickly made adjustments, at this time, his only choice was to replace James Harden, after all, the Thunder's bench is not comparable to the Spurs, and there is only one James Harden available on the entire bench.
After the timeout, James Harden took off his training uniform, touched his heel twice with his hand, and walked onto the court.
"Scott Brooks brought on James Harden, still with them trailing by 10 points, exactly the same as in the last game. ”
"That's right, and Spurs were more efficient in this game, and their defensive counter-attacks were effective. ”
Scott Brooks stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest.
After James Harden came out, the Thunder's offensive pressure was indeed much less, and on Harden's first offense, Russell Westbrook passed the ball to him.
In the face of Boris Dio's defense, James Harden made a breakthrough, rushed to the inside, dodged Tim Duncan's block, made a layup, and incidentally caused Tim Duncan's foul.
The Chesapeake Energy Arena was cheering, James Harden walked to the free throw line, hit a free throw, 15:8, as soon as James Harden came on the court, the Thunder's offense seemed to be much smoother, and Scott Brooks was relieved.
The Spurs' offense finally failed once when the Thunder was completely in a good position, Tony Parker's cut-in layup was capped by Sergi Ibaka, the Thunder won the basketball fast break, Russell Westbrook rushed to the front court is a violent dunk, 15:10, after James Harden played, except for Kevin Durant, the other three young people have already played their own strengths.
The Thunder also relied on these balls to quickly narrow the gap to 5 points.
The situation did not go according to the script of the previous game, and for the Thunder, the impact of Sergi Ibaka's comeback can already be seen.
And then, the Thunder three less established a connection on the offensive end, Russell Westbrook broke through the ball, James Harden scored three points from the outside, and then the Spurs also scored three points, Anxi's bottom corner three-pointer accurately drilled into the basket; Back to the offensive end, James Harden faced Boris Dio's defense, rushed into the inside line to attract the bag, and then distributed the ball to Sergi Ibaka on the other side, Ibaka shot in the middle of the shot, successfully hit, and got the first point of the game.
In this way, with the outbreak of three less, the Thunder was able to bite the score, and Kevin Durant also took advantage of Anxi's several negligences in making up for defense, got two excellent shots, and also scored 5 points, a three-pointer and a mid-range shot.
However, Kevin Durant's current treatment of the ball has made Charles Barkley jokingly call him a role player: "So far in the first quarter, Kevin Durant has only gotten 3 shots, only one of which is a solo single, and two are open shots after no ball, it seems that in the Thunder team, Kevin Durant has become a role player who can only shoot in the open space." ”
Charles Barkley's jokes were only ridiculing Kevin Durant alone, while the entire Thunder relied on the outbursts of the other three to bite the score.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder was 26:28 at home, only 2 points behind the Spurs, you know, before James Harden didn't play, the Thunder was 10 points behind, which means that after James Harden played, the Thunder directly won the Spurs by 8 points.
The Thunder's tactics are actually superstar tactics, and in the first two games, when Kevin Durant was locked up by Anxi, the superstar tactics could not be played. Although James Harden and Russell Westbrook performed well in the first game, the Thunder still lacked a Sergi Ibaka, without 28 cards, and the Thunder's offense and defense were much weaker.
In the second game, the Thunder lost by 28 points, which was related to Scott Brooks, and his several adjustments in the last game allowed the Thunder to step into the trap of the Spurs step by step, and finally lost the game.
And in this game, the three young people worked together, and the superstar tactics finally succeeded. (To be continued.) )
