Before the game started, Tang Tian pulled Durant for a while, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

After the short whistle sounded from the sidelines, the starters from both sides came on one after another.

This time, Bogut jumped to win against Ibaka to give the visitors the chance to attack first.

Curry advanced to the front court with the ball and kicked off the second game of the Western Conference finals.

The Warriors didn't let the Splash Brothers on the outside attack directly, Curry handed the ball to David Lee in the low post, Lee leaned on Dio, and after the Splash opened up space on the outside, he sat down and played with his back.

Lee debuted from the Knicks, and in the past two years, he has grown into a 20+10 super insider, and he has also practiced a good low-post back play, and after continuous play, he turned over and pressed Dior's playing board.

Dior is not known for his defensive interior, relying on tonnage to withstand Lee's lower handicap, but reaching out did not give enough interference.

"Huh!"

The ball is drawn into the basket after hitting the board.

Lee took the lead for the Warriors.

Westbrook advanced to the front court with the ball in the backcourt, gave the ball to Harden, and then took the initiative to go over to do a pick-and-roll, so that Harden was misplaced against Curry, and the rest of the Thunder team pulled away.

A change of direction acceleration, Harden directly left Curry behind him after the confrontation, and accelerated to the basket to score.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The Thunder played anserball at the beginning, which was obviously more powerful than in the first game.

Curry carries the ball to the frontcourt and continues to hand David Lee for him to play with his back in the low post.

Harden recovered the defense, Lee shook his hand and returned the ball to Thompson on the outside, and Thompson took the ball and shot.

"Bang!"

It was a good shot, but Thompson couldn't get the ball in and the rebound was picked up by Ibaka.

Before the game, Tang Tian also saw what Mark Jackson said in an interview, and now it seems that the Warriors' adjustment is to increase Lee's tactical low position in the offense, and enrich the original tactics of attacking purely from the outside.

To be honest, this adjustment is very simple, but it does work well, Lee has not been able to grow into a historical star because of his defensive limitations, but his current offensive ability is fully sufficient to be an offensive starting point.

"Boris, limit Lee's position and catch." Tang Tian got up and reminded Dior.

Dio nodded, the Warriors used him as an offensive breakthrough, and his face was a little unbearable.

The Thunder's offense is still Harden's misplaced play to Curry.

Curry's defensive ability is not very good, and he has just recovered from a major injury last season, and he does not dare to make big moves in the face of Harden's change of direction, and he was easily squeezed through this time.

Bogut chose to save to help defend under the basket, and Harden took the initiative to cling to it after seeing it, and then threw the ball under the basket before making contact.

Ibaka saw it and jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, and raised his hand to make an easy air catch.

This dunk instantly ignited the arena.

The Thunder started the game much more smoothly than they did last time.

Most of them also gradually know Tang Tian's purpose of replacing Harden as a starter, and Harden's combination of breakthrough and passing is the best chemical reaction agent on the offensive end of the Thunder Four.

In the second half of the first battle of the Western Finals, I had actually tried it, and the effect was very good, and now in the second game, Tang Tian put it out directly at the beginning.

Two rounds down, the effect is a mess.

Mark Jackson frowned and walked from the bench to the sideline.

The Warriors' offense, Curry dribbled and continued to push the frontcourt.

Lee continued to sink low for the ball.

However, at this moment, Dio used his body to push Lee, half on his side, and his hand was always in front of Lee, interfering with the space for him to receive the ball.

Curry couldn't find a good opportunity with the ball.

Lee turned sideways and leaned Dio behind him, and Dio squeezed straight ahead, just not giving him an easy chance to catch the ball.

The ball couldn't go in, and Curry finally had to choose to give up, give the ball to Thompson for a transition, and then let Thompson block him, and then misplaced Harden.

Although Mark Jackson didn't set up, Curry's ball quotient was still very high, and after being beaten by Harden twice, he also took the ball to prepare to surprise Harden.

Both of them have excellent offensive ability, but the defense is also half-hearted.

"Assist in defense, put the No. 3 position." Tang Tian shouted directly and decisively at this time.

Curry shook and only took a step, and Durant had already shrunk directly.

Curry saw the ball and split it, and Barnes was ready to catch the ball, but the ball was not caught and went straight out of bounds.

Turnovers by the Warriors.

The cheers of the fans at the scene shook the sky.

Tang Tian also nodded at this time.

This Warriors team is still poor offensively, because the main offensive tactics are misplaced singles, and the tacit understanding between the players is still poor.

Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and beckoned to Durant's pick-and-roll.

"Push it on! Push it on! Mark Jackson shouted from the sidelines that Harden's breakthrough to the basket, whether it was a layup or a ball, would be too much of a blow to the Warriors' defensive system, and the best way to do that was to pinch him at the three-point line.

Harden dribbled the ball and pulled two steps out, followed by a beautiful high drop ball, and Durant caught the ball and stepped to the basket.

Bogut had just been picked up by Ibaka, and he didn't dare to pounce easily, Durant stepped with long legs and stepped directly with a one-handed dunk.

The cheers of the fans broke out again.

These two consecutive smashes completely ignited the atmosphere of the home stadium.

Harden stretched out his finger as he stepped back and pointed to the sky with a smile on his face.

Thanks to Tang Tian's bag in the finals last year, he adapted to the tactics of this kind of bag holder, coupled with the training progress this season, he has long been comfortable handling this kind of ball.

Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, Lee was still dogged by Dior, trying to receive the ball, and everyone was pushed to the right high position.

Although Dior is short in height, he is heavy and stable, and Li really doesn't have much advantage when he gets out of the penalty area.

The Warriors' offensive wave failed again.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The fans at the scene were in a mood at this time, shouting to cheer for the home team.

Curry misplaced Harden and was caught in the middle of the breakaway, and this time he managed to get the ball into Barnes' hands.

Barnes catches the ball and makes a three-point shot.

"Bang!"

The shot was visibly crooked, and the ball grazed the basket and flew into the hands of Dio.

Once again, the Warriors' offense was in vain.

Barnes clapped his hands with some chagrin, but he couldn't blame him for this ball, he was only a first-year, and it was indeed a bit difficult for him to shoot like this away from home, you must know that even if he was as strong as Kobe, he didn't touch it in the finals three times in a row when he was young.

Dio's threat to the ball and Ibaka is obviously different, he shook his hand and threw the ball to the front, Westbrook shot early past the midfield, received Dior's long pass and rushed to the front, it was directly a stride one-handed split.

8-2, after the Warriors scored first, the Thunder immediately returned a wave of 8-0.

Tang Tian got up calmly, and the confident look on his face reached a peak of the series.

Harden's burst, Durant's shooting, Dio's passing, Westbrook's fast break, Ibaka's deterrence under the basket.

This is the ultimate Thunder team of many people in the previous life!
