Chapter 674: Caught off guard
The Thunder also brought Westbrook and Kevin Durant on the court at this time.
Brooks wants these two people to rest for a while, but the fairy, the point difference has gradually widened, for the Thunder, all their efforts now are to win, and when this point difference is about to be pulled away, they naturally have to line up the people who are reassigned to the court.
And James Harden, no one blames him for anything, he played well enough today, but in the end he couldn't help the team hold on to the advantage during the bench rotation.
Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible for him to go back and forth with the current Yi Jianlian on the offensive end, at least for now, it must be like this.
He was able to make the margin only 6 points behind, which is already his task!
……
With the Thunder putting Westbrook and Kevin Durant on the court, the decisive moment for this team has also arrived!
Now they are six points behind and it doesn't affect them much, because they have two key players still sitting on the field! But now, Kevin Durant and Westbrook are on the court, if this time it can't have any good impact on the team on the offensive end, such as chasing the point difference back, then the momentum of the whole team in the game will slowly decay, which is also the reason, after the substitution, Brooks's whole face has become solemn.
He hopes that the team can play their own rhythm, and only in this way can they win this game, if they can equalize the score to 1-1, then they can naturally be less passive in the next games, at least psychologically, it will definitely become more positive!
After all, they won the game on their opponent's home turf!
It's true that home advantage is an improvement for the home team and an impact on the away team, but if the away team can win the game at the home team's stadium, then the impact will instantly become a bigger advantage for the away team, because then they will think, since we can beat them on their home turf, wouldn't it be easier to go back to our own home stadium and win against them!
And if the visitors lose both of their home games, they can still think of us coming to their home stadium to get two wins back!
In short, home advantage is good, but it is not good in the absolute sense, everything depends on what kind of situation the team with home advantage plays on its home field.
If the away team just loses, it will definitely improve the away team.
After the Thunder team lost the first game, they played better in this game, in fact, it can be seen that the Thunder team's young men regretted the last game and got this game, which made them play a very good performance in this game, and this performance is better than the previous game!
……
"Huh!"
Kevin Durant hit the basket with the first ball when he came up, and it can be seen from his goal that this guy's hand is still very good!
The difference is back to 4 points!
Yi Jianlian took the ball directly in the backcourt this time, and he planned to give the Thunder a response ball! He can actually feel the atmosphere on the court at the moment, the three cores of the entire Thunder team are back on the court, and it can be seen from their eyes that these guys want to win this game!
And if you want to win this game, the most critical moment is now, because this time period is the strongest time for the Thunder team, and at the same time, for their entire team, it is also the time when the players, especially the core players, recover the best physical fitness!
For the New York Knicks, the situation is different, now Yi Jianlian has been on the court since the beginning of the second quarter, and has been playing until now, if he continues to play, and is such a hard work on the offensive end, then he will definitely have a physical attenuation in the following time.
In other words, at this end of the season, until the end of all the game time in the second quarter, the Thunder will have more and more advantages, and the New York Knicks will be more and more disadvantaged.
Because Yi Jianlian will be tired!
This is a certain thing, no one is not tired, not even Michael Jordan, but his strong willpower makes him seem to be still full of energy at times.
Just like the game when he had a bad cold, if it wasn't for the fact that he collapsed in Pippen's arms at the end, many people might have forgotten that he was a patient of a bad cold.
That's the power of God.
Although Yi Jianlian is also very powerful, even if he is compared with the same period, he is more powerful than Michael Jordan in the same period, but no matter how powerful he is, he is not a god, since gods will be tired, then he will definitely be tired.
And the lifeblood of the entire New York Knicks team is in the hands of Yi Jianlian, if he is tired, it will not be far from this team in the end!
This is also the reason why Brooks will look so serious after this timeout, because this is a good opportunity for the Thunder to open up the point difference, if they can't face the New York Knicks during this time to produce more advantages, it is conceivable that after the game enters, it will definitely let the New York Knicks win, because Yi Jianlian is really good at the critical moment!
Suffice it to say, it's the last chance for the entire Thunder team!
Yi Jianlian naturally knew about this situation, so at this time, his entire mental state was very concentrated, and he wanted to prove that even at this time, he could also defeat the Thunder team.
Because the New York Knicks can win this year's championship!
"Huh!"
Yi Jianlian got up suddenly, faced with a straight three-point shot from Kevin Durant, and the ball crossed a perfect arc and fell into the basket.
Entered!
"Wow, a
The whole scene was silent at first, and then erupted into a frenzied call, for these New York fans in this stadium, they should be familiar with all this, but they just can't be familiar with it, because Yi Jianlian is so good, he can always complete such goals!
This kind of surprising goal, if it were on other players, I'm afraid it would be difficult to appear once, but in Yi Jianlian's body, it appeared again and again!
And it's always so timely, when the whole team needs that kind of goal!
That's why the whole arena goes crazy again and again!
What is the ultimate thing for a fan of a team!
That's when they want to see a miracle, and a miracle will happen!
Yi Jianlian has done all of this now, and this is something that few people in this league have been able to do, and the former Michael Jordan has hit key goals at critical moments again and again to help the team complete two triple championships, and the two triple championships have also made him the greatest player in the history of the Bulls, and the greatest player in the entire NBA history. And such a team is really out of reach for the entire NBA.
Because the most important thing in this alliance is genius, it is not easy to stand out among one genius after another and trample everyone at a time!
It is also for this reason that the entire Bulls and Jordan will fall into preciousness, which is why when Jordan announced his retirement for the second time, it will cause a shock on Wall Street.
This is also the reason why Michael Jordan can beat "Magic" Johnson and "The Lord of the Rings" to become the first person in the NBA......
But now, a player from Huaxia is doing what he used to do in the NBA, and I have to say, it's hard to imagine it!
Because in the history of the NBA, no Chinese player can do something at this level, let alone a Chinese player, even if it is an international player, there is no one who can do this!
What's more, now, he still drives fans all over New York crazy!
"Yi, he is really a player who has changed a lot of things, I don't know how to describe this guy, because we have already said him with all the words that can be emotional, and now, we can only say it more bluntly, you can always trust Yi, he will never disappoint!"
The point difference has changed from 4 points to 7 points, which is 1 point more than when the Thunder team played three less games just now, which Kevin Durant can't bear, in his opinion, this time period is the best time for his Thunder team, this team should be in a state of chasing points now, but now it is in a backward situation!
Kevin Durant didn't allow such a thing to happen, so he took the ball himself and rushed towards the New York Knicks' defensive area, one thing to say, he was still playing very actively, but this time, Yi Jianlian suddenly rushed in front of him and stopped his rhythm as he was dribbling.
Kevin Durant didn't want Yi Jianlian to force him directly this time, and what he didn't expect was that Yi Jianlian didn't mean to separate from him after he entangled, and he kept fighting physically.
Kevin Durant's physical fitness has always been a big problem for him, especially in terms of physical confrontation, although it has been greatly improved now, but it also depends on who the defender is facing, Yi Jianlian has a body that can carry LeBron James, this kind of physical fitness is really not comparable to Kevin Durant!
In the confrontation, Kevin Durant's dribbling gradually had problems, and while barely squeezing to the free throw line, Dragic suddenly came out from the side and slapped the ball off Kevin Durant's hand!
Then Dragic dribbled quickly towards the Thunder's defensive area and completed a very easy layup, and the margin became 9 points at this time!
"The New York Knicks have once again completed their defensive reaction, and the Thunder have obviously had some discomfort after this two-round matchup, and they seem to have some problems with how to play!"
The commentator at the scene looked at the offensive formation of the Thunder team and said helplessly: "This was originally a strong period for the Thunder team, but under Yi's play, this team has a little bit of struggle, and more importantly, this struggle is not something they can settle by themselves, and now they have no rhythm at all!" ”
Brooks's whole face is also very unsightly, he has great expectations for the team's performance after the timeout, but now the performance of the Thunder team is not to say anything that meets expectations, it is simply a pit to grandma's house, he didn't expect that it should belong to their strong period, but was beaten by the opposite side into a scoring tide.
"Toot!"
Westbrook dribbled to the front court and didn't think about how to score for a long time, so Brooks had no choice but to call a timeout.
"Hahaha, the Thunder team is still too young! They also think that the finals are too simple! ”
"Yi has been playing in the finals for three consecutive years, his experience is not comparable to ordinary people, he must have seen that the offensive of the entire Thunder team is very positive, they are eager to play an advantage during that time, so they will play so fiercely, so that there is a gap in the hearts of the Thunder team, the finals are like this, if you play according to the normal rhythm, the two teams really don't know who can win, and at this time there is the so-called experience to help the bonus, so that the team has the upper hand!"
"The game is like this, for the entire New York Knicks, their ability is so strong, no matter how good the Thunder team is, they are only a youth army, they are still too young, they lack training, and the disadvantage of lack of training is naturally that the whole team will have a very big emotional impact once it encounters a sudden situation!"
Many experts have explained in detail the lack of experience of the Thunder team at this time, in their opinion, even if the Thunder team has strength, but they still look a little young when dealing with some unexpected situations, and this youth will make the whole team have greater ups and downs!
This is also the reason why after two rounds, the Thunder, which was originally the strongest, will not play!
"Guys, I don't know what you're thinking, if you guys feel like it's easy to get an advantage, then bad situations are going to happen, like that, and those bad situations are going to take a toll on your emotions and then there's a worse situation, you know what I'm going to say? Guys, if you don't want to win the game, then OK, you can admit defeat now and admit that you are young, but if you still want to fight and haven't given up yet, then remember what I said next, for the whole team, what we should do now is to take the whole game rhythm back from the opponent's hands, we can't be led by the nose by the opponent anymore! ”
