For Thunder fans, there may be no way at all, but for Thunder head coach Brooks, there is not necessarily no way at all, and he didn't really despair after the loss in Game 2, because he found that the Thunder may still have a little chance of winning.

That possibility comes from his set-up in the third quarter of Game 2, attacking the Knicks' interior in a row, which put the entire Thunder team in the ascendancy for a long time, and more importantly, chasing down the score to just one point.

If it worked so well, there was no reason why Brooks shouldn't try it in Game 3.

So at the beginning of the third game, the Thunder team according to his design, from the beginning to strengthen the interior offense, these offense, for this team, is indeed the best way, because this team is indeed a group of physically gifted beasts, it is the impact of this group of beasts, it is the impact of this group of beasts, they built up some scoring advantages at the beginning, and they ended the first quarter with a 34-29, 5-point lead.

It was the first time in three games in the Finals that they had led into the next quarter, which was even better than Game 2.

It is also for this reason that the cheers of the fans who originally came to wait for the death of the Thunder team gradually became louder.

There is still hope, there is hope, there is still hope just like that!

Most Thunder fans have this thought in their heads.

It's just that their joy didn't last long, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Yi Jianlian played, and he once again appeared directly without rest, and more importantly, he not only did not rest, but also appeared in the No. 4 position.

And after he was selected at the No. 4 position, the offensive momentum of the entire Thunder team against the New York Knicks was still problematic, and they were no longer able to score, but were constantly interfered with by Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian, who is above 2.13 meters tall, coupled with excellent physical fitness, the beasts of the Thunder team are also in big trouble, and they can't complete a smooth attack like before.

The offensive momentum of the Thunder team declined, and the New York Knicks found the pressure on the defensive end, and the entire offensive ability gradually overwhelmed the Thunder, and at the end of the second quarter, the New York Knicks also overtook the entire score, and they ended the first half of the game with a 5-point lead.

When the New York Knicks took the lead, the entire Thunder audience immediately fell silent, and many fans became dull, and a few even fell into a panic.

It's no wonder they would.

It's really that now that the Knicks are ahead, they will inevitably not give the opponent the impression of catching up with the score again.

Even when many pundits talk about how to beat the New York Knicks, one of the things they have to say is that they must be suppressed from the beginning and maintain an absolute lead throughout the entire 48 minutes of the game, and only in this way can this team be defeated.

And it can be seen from the few games that the New York Knicks lost in the regular season, except for the few games lost by Yi Jianlian, the other games were really the New York Knicks who had been behind, and they didn't lead once before losing until the end of the game.

If you look at it this way, it seems that what these experts say is not unreasonable.

In the same way, it is also for this reason that the fans of the entire Thunder team are so depressed when they see the New York Knicks taking the lead!

And the second half of the game just confirmed the worries of Thunder fans, the rising New York Knicks continued to suppress the Thunder in the next time, the Thunder tried to counterattack several times, but were easily subdued, and then the two teams entered a stalemate, until the end of the third quarter of the game, the Thunder really did not lead again, and more importantly, the New York Knicks unknowingly expanded the score difference to 8 points.

This point margin did not widen much, but the Thunder team still fell behind in the end, and it can actually be seen from here how terrible the New York Knicks' suppressive power is once they get ahead.

Kenny Smith: "The New York Knicks are like an experienced hunter, and the Thunder are his prey, the Thunder's counterattack is like the struggle of the prey, for the New York Knicks, they have a way to extinguish the Thunder's counterattack, and the Thunder is difficult!" ”

Kenny Smith is TNT's ace commentator, and his experience in TNT can be said to be very old, and because of his experience, his analysis of the direction of the game situation is naturally very correct.

However, there is one thing he didn't expect, the Thunder's struggle in the fourth quarter was much more fierce than expected, Kevin Durant and Westbrook and James Harden, the three future cores of the Thunder, combined to score 30 points in the fourth quarter, especially Kevin Durant hit two three-pointers in a row in the final minute of the game.

But the game was eventually won by the New York Knicks.

The reason why the "Thunder Three Less" made such a strong effort and finally lost was because of Yi Jianlian's outbreak, he also scored a very gorgeous 25 points in the fourth quarter, and he withstood the "Thunder Three Less" bombardment in turn, and more importantly, he didn't just bear the bombardment of the Thunder team.

After Kevin Durant hit two three-pointers, his crucial third shot was also covered by Yi Jianlian, and it was this block that allowed the New York Knicks to finally escape from the thrilling by 3 points.

In the end, the New York Knicks won the third Finals game, and the big score came to 3-0!

"A wonderful game, I have to say, it was a wonderful game, I have to add two words to express my opinion on this game, I have to admit that the Thunder team has really worked very hard, but their efforts did not allow them to win in the end, because Yi performed better!"

Kenny Smith commented on the match: "I have to say, and this is what I've been trying to make so far in this series, that Yi has made new improvements in this Finals, yes, it's surprising because this guy has improved again, but we have to admit that the ability he showed on the defensive end in this Finals is amazing!" ”

"This game is also proof, proof that he won the game with defense!"
