Chapter 126, Second Battle!!

(88106 .)β€œ Before this round of playoffs, few teams were optimistic about the Thunder taking the Suns in Game 1, and while they were considered the most likely team to win the Western Conference series, no one could have imagined that they would be far more adaptable than fans expected in Game 1. ”

"The focus today is on the Thunder's Durant and Westbrook, will they continue to be in the slump? Did the Suns find a way to restrain Lee Forest, Grant Hill's defense was completely blown up by Lee Forest in the last game, and Gentry will definitely adjust his defense of Lee Forest today. ”

"The Suns' Amare Stendmire has to play, he was limited by fouls in the last game, only played 25 minutes, when he was there, the Suns won, as an inside killer who averaged 23 points per game this season, and Chandler and Ibaka on the Thunder's side also had to find a way to limit his offense, and it was not so easy for Forest Lee to beat Amare down in this game."

"Forest Lee has improved a lot this season, averaging 25 points per game, if he is in a rebuilding team, he can immediately become the core of the team, building a lineup around his talent, but unfortunately the most important thing for the Thunder now is talent, he also has a teammate Kevin Durant, and then Westbrook is also a rising star, and now Forest Lee is not having a good time with the Thunder, he is facing too much competition, and it is very good that he can play like this."

"He's proven himself in the league, so it's up to him where he wants to go this summer, and it's going to be a big turning point in his career, and I have a hunch that he's not going to stay with the Thunder."

Barkley also knows Lee Forest well and analyzes it in an orderly manner.

Suns home locker room.

"Guys, we've got no way back, we've got to win this game, teach these youngsters a lesson, never forget our goal this season, which is to win the championship, and tonight we're going to tell everyone who doubts us that we're going to !。win this series."

Gentry knows that the team has been cornered now, and if they lose two games in a row at home, the series will basically be over.

Home field advantage in the playoffs is extremely important.

If you give away this advantage at the beginning, you almost lose the series.

After listening to the pre-game encouragement, the Suns players shouted a slogan in unison and went to prepare for the ceremony.

Just as Nash was about to arrive at the locker room door.

Hill walked up to Nash and said, "Steve, we're going to win tonight, right?" ”

Hill was blown up by Lee Forest in the last game, and Hill didn't have much confidence today.

Two-time MVP winner and Suns core Nash knows what his teammates are worried about, and he said to Hill in an affirmative tone: "yes, we're going to win here tonight." ”

Hill heard Nash's words with a little relief.

Nash has always been the anchor of the sun.

Nash looked at the back of Hill who walked out of the locker room, his eyes were a little lonely, he also had to make a choice this summer.

................

After the start of the game.

The two sides fought very anxiously.

After a game of fighting, the Thunder and Suns know each other better.

With the cheers in the Meixi Arena, the Suns' attack power is even greater than in the last game.

In the first quarter, the Thunder's Westbrook and Kevin Durant fulfilled their promises, showing super individual attack power from the beginning of the game.

On the contrary, Li Linlin, who was furious in the last game, was a little silent, and he was restrained by Richardson and Hill's bag.

However, Lee's defensive containment on the court was very obvious, and the Suns did not dare to relax their defense against him at all.

At the beginning of the game, Nash and Stoudemire's blocking and dismantling offense played smoothly, showing great lethality, and Xiaobawang did not fight with Li Forest anymore, and told Li Forest with a good touch that he was also a superstar in Phoenix.

Lee struggled a bit, and Chandler was fouled twice on the inside.

The Suns were noticeably more motivated today than in the previous game, with Nash maintaining control of the team's offense and providing assists repeatedly.

The Suns used accurate shots again and again to tell the Thunder that they had been cornered and that they were going to start fighting back.

But Thunder's talent is not covered either.

Lee's presence greatly eased the defensive pressure, and Durant responded with two three-pointers in a row that ignored the defense.

The game went on quickly, and the first quarter came to the final two minutes of the game, and it was time to rotate the lineup.

Now the score on the court is 25-25, and the two sides are half-hearted in the first quarter.

Brooks began to call a timeout.

The fans at the West Stadium cheered loudly.

The fans knew they were going to give the home team a strong back, and everyone knew that the Suns couldn't afford to lose this game.

"Today's Suns played very tough, Xiao Si really caused huge trouble to the Thunder on the inside as expected before the game, Chandler received two fouls on him early, if Chandler is not there, only Ibaka will be blown into scum by Xiao Si, but fortunately Durant and Westbrook played normally today, and in the case of Lee Forest being prevented from dying, they helped the Thunder bite the score."

Ross Barkley and Kenny Smith were on the pulpit analysing the situation on the pitch for fans.

"Especially Durant, his performance today is much better than the last game, hitting a lot of incredible goals, the game is now played, the Thunder's trouble still comes from the inside, Ibaka's defense has not improved significantly, it is easy to eat Stoudemire feints, and the Thunder are very passive."

Don't look at TNT's Barkley and Smith as funny as entertainment stars, but they have also played before, and they can see the Thunder's passivity at a glance.

The Thunder are indeed passive right now.

Although the score is tied, if it weren't for Durant's few fairy balls, the Thunder would be behind now.

Touching Brooks off the court also saw the problems on the court.

He began to make strategic adjustments that he had prepared before the game.

Brooks left Durant and Lee Forest on the court, Harden replaced Westbrook, and sent the fast-paced, experienced Ty Gibson to top Smalls, and Gibson would let the Little Overlord enjoy a taste of iron-blooded defense.

"Lee, next you attack, KD, you help him pull the space on the other side of Lee, and you have to be ready to play the full 48 minutes today."

β€œOK!”

Durant knew about this arrangement, he attacked for 10 minutes, and now he has to take a breath first.

"Lee goes to the low post, and when he encounters the bag, he will share the ball, and the others will receive Lee's ball, and they must quickly transfer the ball."

The low-post offense practiced by Li Forest has become a regular routine of the Thunder's offensive tactics.

When the Thunder feels a little hanging and unstable, they will hand it over to him to attack, and the closer to the basket the offensive method will be.

Now although the score is tied, no one outside the double has not yet opened, and Li Linlin needs to make a difference.
