Chapter 600: Winning You Didn't Negotiate
The frontal three-pointer who was super far away, Han Miao's hard bar Durant was not intimidating, and set the tone for the team to suppress the Thunder.
Next, Durant really wanted to find a chance to return Han Miao, but he couldn't stand Han Miao's monkey spirit, so he didn't play against you, and he didn't give Durant a chance to get back on the court at all.
This indirectly tricked Hayward again, and the poor baby became a scapegoat again......
But it's not all right, because after being scored by Han Miao like this, Durant's mentality fluctuated a little bit, plus Hayward interfered with all his might, so this time the shot, Durant didn't score!
86:83, 76ers keep their lead! And this 3-point advantage was maintained until the end of the third quarter!
93:90, this is the score on both sides at the end of the third quarter!
The 76ers led the fourth quarter, and during the break, players from both sides were rehydrating.
"Fourth quarter, hold on, kill them in one go!"
Stevens threw off his blazer, rolled up his sleeves and took the tactical board and began to write and draw.
He's going to take advantage of the momentum to win this game and get off to a good start for the finals!
"Coach, it's not a big problem to win, the Thunder don't have any tricks, and then I estimate that they will take turns to play singles."
Although Harden made a number of fouls in this game, Iguodala still maintained his high morale and did not seem to be affected at all.
"Andre, you go defend Kevin in the fourth quarter."
Stevens switched the lineup, and his own disciple Hayward was a complete failure in his defense against Durant today, so Stevens was ready to change the defense in the final quarter.
Although Iguodala is not as tall or as long as Durant, he is not at all at a loss in strength, a bit like Grizzly Tony Allen, well, it should be said that he is a Tony Allen who is offensive and defensive weakened.
Since Durant can be entangled by Tony Allen when the Thunder beat the Grizzlies, then Iguodala should also be capable of doing all this.
"Beware of Harden in the fourth quarter, this guy is too smart and too good at acting, if he is not careful, he will be fouled, and everyone must stretch out their hands in the face of him! There must not be any downward pressing. ”
Although it is his home court, Harden's ability to make fouls is really perfect, and sometimes the referee can't blow it if he wants to.
"I'll do my best."
Thompson took the initiative to ask for the battle, in fact, Thompson can't beat Harden, whether it is now or in the future, Thompson has no way to stop Harden.
"No, Clay, you rest first, Marcus goes first."
Stevens didn't mean to let Thompson play, after all, Thompson had too few rookie season highlights, and compared with Harden, the rookie Thompson at this time was really a little worse.
Stevens is on Marcus Thornton, who is closest in size to Harden, and Thorton can also shoot threes, although not as consistent as Thompson, but it is enough.
"Inside Yao and Javier, it's still Han who controls the ball, Han, your task is heavier, so let's work hard."
Because Livingston has no advantage against Westbrook, the tough Willis relies on his body and speed to clean up Livingston, especially every time he makes a strong spurt, he goes to Livingston's broken leg.
This made Livingston very depressed for a while, and he was still a very qualified substitute in the regular season, but now? Hehe......
On the Thunder's side, Brooks' tactics are very simple, the three young continue to play, plus Ibaka and Perkins, the tactic is to pull away one hit infinitely, anyway, it's just 3 points away, Brooks is still very sure of the ability of his players to go heads-up.
After all, in the regular season, the Thunder abused many people like this.
But Coach Brooks really underestimated the intensity of the Finals, and when he came back in the fourth quarter, although the Thunder's tactics were played, the success rate was really not worth mentioning.
Wei Shao singled Han Miao twice, once he was cut out of bounds and the other shot was missed, and he returned in vain.
Harden singled Thornton and scored one of the three goals.
Durant was a little better, three out of five, but all three goals were very tired, and in the face of Iguodala, who was fully defending, Durant had to work hard to get rid of it like a kraft candy before he had a little chance to shoot.
And Perkins and Ibaka were completely suppressed by Yao Ming and McGee, they couldn't get stuck, they couldn't grab rebounds, what was the use of them?
"Uhh
Durant threw another difficult stepback, but the score of the two teams had stretched to 110-103.
"The Thunder are still too young, and the veterans in the team who are not good at it stand up to stabilize the morale of the army at this time."
Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller said it was a pity that the Thunder played a good half today, but from the third quarter, they gradually gave up the advantage!
To put it bluntly, young people have no experience, and as the intensity of the game increases, it really becomes more and more difficult to fight.
"It's okay for just one Kevin, and the others haven't grown up yet."
Barkley said very simply, Thunder Durant is really fierce today, and he is about to score 40 points.
But a king with four teammates who are not fully developed and occasionally have brains, how can this score points? On the other side, there are two kings with three more mature friends, and the combat power value is already unbalanced, okay?
"The Thunder's chance, gone."
In the first half, Miller originally thought that the Thunder might steal a game from the 76ers' home court today, but after their honey operation in the second half, they really destroyed their future, and the 76ers' continuous highlight behavior in the second half allowed them to regain their home court advantage!
"Yes, you can't win the first home game, and the second game will be more difficult."
Ross Barkley and Kenny Smith have both played in the Finals, so they also know very well that a good start, especially for a team without home court advantage, has huge implications, and the Thunder today just let go of this opportunity!
"Hold on! With five minutes to go, we win this one and we're just three games away from the title! ”
Stevens was also more excited than anyone else, and finally jumped and roared directly on the sidelines, which embarrassed the referee, and if it wasn't for the fact that this is the home field, it is likely that he would have given T.
You command, you command, what a nonsense!
Coach Reflective Brooks, although people are also in a hurry, but he is not like Stevens, but frowns, clasps his hands to his chest, and keeps walking around.
It's not that Brooks doesn't want to shout, it's that he doesn't know what to shout, his hole cards have all been stud out, and now there is no move!
The young Thunder, although they did not meet the old and spicy Heat in history, but it was even worse to meet the 76ers.
Just like Han Miao himself said to the system, winning the thunder is not negotiable, isn't it just a matter of badges, one is not enough, then there is another one!
128:116, Philadelphia 76ers, with their excellent performance in the second half, won the first victory in the finals, Yao Ming and Han Miao together 30+, overshadowing Durant's 40 points!
1:0! Philadelphia is three games away from the championship!
