"Give up? I've never given up in my dictionary, no matter what happens, we're not going to give up on the Western Conference Finals with the Spurs, there are seven games in a series, and we're just losing two games now. ”

After losing two home games in a row, the Thunder's chances of winning the Western Conference Finals are already very slim, and the Thunder, who arrived in San Antonio early to prepare for the away game, have also been silenced in front of all the media, but at the press conference before the start of the third game of the series, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks was still seized by reporters, and a wave of indiscriminate bombardment made Scott Brooks' scalp a little numb.

Although Scott Brooks himself knows in his heart that the Thunder basically have no chance, but on the bright side, Scott Brooks can't show any pessimism, let alone say something negative in the face of the media and the players under his command, because he is the head coach of the Thunder and the spiritual leader of this team.

Scott Brooks's seemingly confident words, in the eyes of these reporters in the audience, are Scott Brooks's dead duck mouthed performance, they are already 0 you 2, four home games have lost two, and they are still swearing that their team has no problems, and their team still has a chance, but when these reporters slander Squat Brooks, they will not remember how they were optimistic about the Thunder and supported the Thunder before this round of the series.

"The atmosphere at the AT&T Center today is crazy!"

Unlike the usual crowds who buy tickets after the game starts, the AT&T Center Arena was already full of spectators before the game even started, and it looked like they couldn't wait to watch the Spurs' home game against the Thunder.

"The game is finally about to start, and I don't know if the Thunder will play a turnaround battle today."

When the starters of the Spurs and the Thunder warmed up, and the players who jumped on behalf of both sides also walked into the middle circle one after another, Charles Buckley, as the commentator of today's game, is also extremely worried about the current situation of the Thunder, the Thunder, who has lost two games in a row, if they lose this game again today, I am afraid that they will really be swept by the Spurs.

"If the Thunder wants to win, they must find a way to limit Meng Xu while ensuring their own performance, at least cut off the connection between Meng Xu and his teammates, of course, we all know that this is a very difficult thing, and if the Thunder does not solve Meng Xu's point, I am afraid that they will never be able to cross the Spurs." After Barkley expressed his worries and expectations for the Thunder, Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to Barkley, also listed the premise for the Thunder to win, that is, to find a way to deal with Meng Xu.

"Kenny, this request of yours, it is indeed difficult for the Thunder to complete, the Thunder can limit Meng Xu's offense by wrapping the clip, but it is difficult to cut off the connection between Meng Xu and his teammates." After Kenny Smith's words fell, Reggie Miller shook his head and objected to Kenny Smith's request to win, cutting off the connection between Meng Xu and his teammates.

"Kenny's request is really not easy." After Reggie Miller, Barkley shook his head.

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Barkley was also a little biased towards the Thunder, as for the reason, everyone knows, but this round of the series is now played like this, Meng Xu's outbreak in the playoffs was not expected by anyone, after all, at the end of the regular season and the first round against the Lakers, Meng Xu gave people the feeling that he was already at the end of the strong crossbow, but from the beginning of the series against the Warriors, Meng Xu seemed to be resurrected with full blood and returned to the top, whether it was the series with the Warriors, Or in the first two games of the Thunder series, Meng Xu showed unparalleled dominance, how terrible a Meng Xu is at his peak, everyone in this league knows very well.

While several commentators on the commentary bench were still discussing for the Thunder, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the basketball in his hand into the sky, and when Serge Ibaka, who represented the Thunder jumping ball, moved the basketball to the Thunder's half court before Tim Duncan, the AT&T center player instantly rang out a violent boo.

The basketball that was moved to the backcourt by Serge Ibaka was picked up by Durant and handed to Russell Westbrook, in the first two games, Westbrook not only played very aggrieved under the care of Kawhi Leonard, but also often showed a helpless performance after holding the ball, because Kowi Leonard's defense against him is not static, but sometimes tight and sometimes loose, one will let him shoot, one will let him break through, the more Westbrook feels bad, the more Leonard will let him shoot, As long as Westbrook hits two shots in a row, Leonard will immediately tighten his defense, forcing him to break or pass, and under Leonard's highly targeted defense, Westbrook's game form has always been up and down.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Westbrook's performance in the first two games is not ideal, a 24-of-8 shot, a 22-of-9 shot, Westbrook not only did not play a superstar performance, but also faintly dragged his legs, so before the start of this game, head coach Scott Brooks repeatedly told Westbrook to play reasonable and patient, and when he didn't know how to handle the ball, don't attack rashly, it's best to pass the basketball to Durant to deal with it.

Westbrook is a person who is always full of fighting spirit and is unwilling to admit defeat, but in order to win, Westbrook is also willing to give up and obey the head coach's arrangement, so after Westbrook arrived in the front court with the ball and was blocked by Kawhi Leonard, Westbrook handed the basketball to Durant, who was moving near the left side of the court, after trying to break through unsuccessfully.

Spurs' No. 4 position started today is the young player Thiago Splitt, Thiago Split is physically strong, and his defense is above the level, but he also has obvious shortcomings, that is, movement speed, when facing a big forward with excellent mobility, Thiago Split often can't keep up with the opponent's pace, not to mention Kevin Durant, a player who occupies the No. 4 position but plays at the No. 3 position.

Kevin Durant, who was on the run and pulled away from Thiago Splitt, turned around after receiving a pass from Russell Westbrook, then took a step back and jumped just outside the three-point line.

After seeing Kevin Durant's three-point shot, Russell Westbrook, who was far away at the top of the arc, extended a thumbs up to Durant while retreating.
