The game entered the final quarter in a stalemate, with the score on the court at 74-71 and the Thunder leading by three points.

The fat man was a little helpless, his physical strength was about to run out, and the Thunder Shuangshao still didn't seem to have changed, according to this situation, the Hornets would definitely collapse in less than two minutes. But there was nothing he could do, he was almost unable to run. Instead of recovering his strength, the off-court break made his legs feel like they were filled with lead, and it was difficult to lift his speed.

"Oh, it seems that The One's physical fitness is in the end, although his weight allows him to crush the opponent when facing ordinary players, but when encountering a youth army like the Thunder, his physical disadvantage is infinitely magnified in the final quarter, just like the original Rocket's Da Yao, the fourth quarter is often physically exhausted, and the team will habitually fall into a desperate situation of collapse." Mark Jackson said.

"That's right, now the situation on the field has tilted towards the Thunder, when The One's attack power can't exert its power, the victory of the Thunder will come as promised, after all, the attack firepower of the Thunder is still strong." Byron Scott also explained on the sidelines.

The game continued, Eric Gordon advanced forward with the ball, Yang Yi was out of energy, and now the burden of organizing the attack was on Gordon, and the fat man was slowly moving forward.

After the Hornets players were fully seated, Gordon passed the ball to Yang Yi, who ran out of space under the cover of Ryan Anderson. The fat man catches the ball and throws it, and the ball crosses an arc in the air and hits it with precision hollow hit. And after shooting this three-pointer, he couldn't run, dragging his heavy legs and slowly walking towards the Thunder's position.

Everyone at the scene could see that the fat man's physical fitness was not good, and Monty Williams was naturally no exception. He quickly replaced the team's backup point guard, Brian Roberts, and replaced Yang Yi to rest. I just hope that during the time when the fat man comes down, the team can withstand the firepower of the Thunder and give the fat man a chance to breathe.

However, will the Thunder let go of such a good opportunity? After Yang got off the court, Durant and Westbrook launched a ferocious attack, a variety of three-point dunks in a row, and in just three minutes, a 13:2 attack wave was played, taking away the game in waves, and the fat man had to hurry on the court, but the game was irretrievable, he played before he had a good rest, and he was forced to defend by the Thunder, not only did not tie the score, but widened the difference. Seeing that the tide was turning, Williams replaced all the main players on the field, giving up the game to give other players some opportunities to exercise.

The final score was 107-94, and the Hornets lost to the Thunder by a large score when the fat man could not play his strength, ushering in the first defeat of the new season.

"It's embarrassing that the match ended in this way, and if The One had the fitness to get him through the match, the result for both teams could have been a different story."

The fat man did not attend the press conference after the game, and Williams also knew that the fat man was in a bad mood after losing the game, so he did not ask him to go, but rushed to the press conference with Eric Gordon.

When the fat man was taking a shower in the locker room, the press conference was crowded, and various media came one after another, and the Hornets lost the game was big news. Since the start of the new season, Yang Yi has led the Hornets all the way forward, and he has also played against the sky. When he first entered the league, he broke various records, and his crushing style of play gave people the impression that he was an undefeated god of war, and now he has lost. This is really a big news, and I believe that tomorrow the news of the Hornets will dominate the front pages of various media outlets, even if they are losing.

"Coach Brooks, how did you feel after winning?" A reporter from Sports Illustrated asked Thunder head coach Brooks.

"It's not easy to win this fight, Tne One's strong attacking power is sure everyone has seen it, and if it weren't for his lack of fitness, I think the fight might have been a different ending. But we caught his weakness and won the game. But there's no doubt about the Hornets' quality, they're really strong, and of course Kevin and Russell's consistent play is the main reason for our victory. ”

"So can other teams follow the Thunder's tactics and beat the Hornets?" This time, it was a reporter from CBS Sports who was named to ask the question. At the press conference, these reporters from big media always have the right to ask questions first, of course, this is also the unspoken rule of the media industry, who makes them more influential!

"I'm not sure about that, there were already six teams at the feet of the Hornets before our victory, and The One wasn't physically exhausted like it was today, not every team had Kevin and Russell who had the ability to finish the game in any situation."

"Coach Brooks, do you think other teams will respond to The One's fitness issues?" That's the question for FOX sports journalists.

"Well, obviously that's for sure, but I think most teams in the league may not be able to beat him into a sieve before he runs out of energy, and The One's attack power is obvious to all, so I don't need to elaborate on it! And many teams in the league don't have the firepower we have, and they can stalemate with the Hornets until the end. ”

"Kevin, how do you feel about defeating the Hornets?"

"I don't have much to say because we're the winners, The One is good, he's a tough opponent." After saying that, the little schoolbag was silent. Although he was quite happy to win the Hornets, as a superstar who has been famous for a long time, of course, he must have his own bearing, and he can't be led by reporters.

On the other side, Hornets head coach Monty Williams was also surrounded by a group of reporters and was bombarded by reporters.

"Coach Williams, did you anticipate the outcome of the game before the game?" ESPN's reporter asked Williams.

A black line suddenly appeared on Williams's bare head: "I'm not Satan, how could I have predicted the outcome of the game." ”

"Today's game footage is definitely going to be frantically studied by the rest of the league, do you have any countermeasures?" The reporter asked questions in a different way.

"It's nothing, we're just the way we play, even if the league has studied us thoroughly, the Hornets' current attack is not something that other teams can stop if they want to foul, we have this strength and this confidence. Today's defeat to the Thunder was just a surprise and we will definitely win it back next time at home. ”

"So how do you solve The One's fitness problems? What will the Thunder Hornets do if they encounter it again? A USA Today reporter asked.

"The One does need to improve his fitness, but his current striking power is enough to knock most teams in the league through, so there's no need to worry about his internal problems for the time being. As for the encounter with the Thunder at home, I said that it was just an accident, and we can get revenge at home. As he spoke, he exuded a strong confidence from the inside out, and even the media reporters on the scene couldn't help but nod.

"Eric, did the loss in this game affect you in any way? Could this be just the beginning of the Wasp failure? A reporter from a local tabloid suddenly asked.

Gordon was playing with his fingers with his head down, and he didn't hear the reporter's question for the first time, and he didn't come back to his senses until the press officer of the press conference reminded him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just got distracted and didn't hear me, can you repeat the question just now?"

Williams nodded with satisfaction after seeing Gordon's performance, it's really amazing, and in the face of such deliberately difficult reporters, I have to give them some color to see, and mention these annoying topics.

The reporter gritted his teeth and hated to repeat the problem, hoping that Gordon would make a big news story and say something eye-catching, so that he would make a lot of money. It's a pity that Gordon's words are decent, not too surprising and not demoralizing.

"It's nothing, it's just an accident, the victory is ours in the end." Then he stopped talking.

As for the protagonist Yang Yi, who lost the game, did not appear at the press conference, everyone knows that he was in a bad mood when he lost the game, not to mention the first defeat in his career! So there was no requirement for him to be present at the press conference.

An ordinary regular season press conference is made to look like a Grand Finals, and the impact after the game can be imagined!
