Harden's state is surprisingly poor, especially after entering the Finals, he is simply not possessed.

It stands to reason that the 76ers' defensive focus is basically on Durant, at most another part is on Westbrook, Harden's defensive pressure should be relatively small, but after entering the finals, he has no super sixth man style when he played the Spurs.

After this quick knife was abolished, the overall strength of the Thunder instantly dropped by three percent, because if the lineup is concerned, the Thunder is not perfect.

The biggest problem with the Thunder is that there is no low-post offense in the positional battle, just like last year's 76ers, there are two blue-collar insiders, one relies on the embarrassing mid-distance of feeding the ball, and the other can only put a basket under the basket at best, at most grab two rebounds and play a board from close range. And whether it's Westbrook or Durant, they are the kind of face-frame offensive maniacs, and the low-post offense has no power but hehe.

Of course, the Thunder are modernist teams and can be in the top five of the league without relying on the low post offensively.

Even the league as a whole is in the mood, with more and more breakthroughs to the basket and three-point shots, and the mid-range is gradually withdrawing from the core of the team's playbook.

Unfortunately, the 76ers' outside defense is the top in the league, and the ability to protect the interior frame is second to none, Westbrook and Durant played particularly hard, and Harden, who was originally counting on the first two games, has been sleepwalking, even in today's home life and death battle, Harden did not have the momentum to die with the enemy at all.

In the first five minutes of the first quarter, there were 2 mistakes in 3 shots and 0, and he was passed by Tang Wenlong many times.

The 76ers took a three-point lead at 31-23 to end the first quarter.

Tang Wenlong exhaled. The black jersey was soaked with sweat. "It's really hot on the home court of the Thunder. Is the air conditioner broken? ”

"Who knows, maybe this is a tactic of the Thunder." Iguodala thought maliciously that the Energy Arena was so hot today that it was like a big steamer.

"Today's temperature in Oklahoma is already high, and with more than 20,000 people breathing and emitting carbon dioxide at the scene, it is normal that the air conditioning is not enough." Whiteside, on the side, gave an explanation for the Thunder, which sounded quite reasonable.

Tang Wenlong glanced at him in surprise and raised his eyebrows. "Hassan, you still pay attention to the weather, how can the young man be like an old man."

"It's an old man to pay attention to the weather, I basically look at the weather forecast every day when I get up." Whiteside was not convinced, he felt that he just loved life.

"Okay." Tang Wenlong rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, a staff member handed over a clean white towel at this time, and Tang Wenlong immediately took it and wiped his slippery neck and cheeks, he really wanted to take a cold shower at this time.

The heat was mutual, as the constant sweat of the players on both sides fell onto the floor, and some parts of the pitch floor became a little slippery.

Both teams immediately began to struggle, starting with Luiz breaking through and sliding straight in. The basketball was given to "Old Fish" Fisher, and then Westbrook, who stayed on the court to lead the team to play, broke through and confronted Butler physically. The two of them slid together, like a gourd rolling on the floor, the basketball got out of his hand, rolled on the ground, Ibaka flew to grab the ball, and the floor slid directly out of the sideline.

Coincidentally, he slipped in front of Tang Wenlong, who was sitting on the bench, like a courtier's gift.

Tang Wenlong blinked his eyes and pursed his mouth: You can't laugh.

Ibaka's old face flushed, and without waiting for his teammates to come to help, he immediately got up from the ground in embarrassment, and returned the ball to the 76ers.

Iguodala turned his head and covered his head with a towel, leaning on Tang Wenlong's shoulder and laughing uncontrollably, he was afraid that his presumptuousness would attract hatred. In fact, many Thunder fans at the scene laughed themselves, and the entire basketball game turned into a wrestling conference and an ice rink?

The referee took advantage of the dead ball time to let the staff come on the field and quickly deal with some places that were easy to slip.

Five or six staff members rushed up, first dragged back and forth on the ground with mops, and then took out a huge white towel and lay on the ground to wipe it, and after a while, it was as clean as ever.

"The finals are different, wiping the floor is so professional." The team's rookie Loyle sighed, although he barely played in the playoffs this year, but he also followed the team all the way to the finals, and he is also a player in the 12-man squad.

In other words, skills can be practiced, the body can grow, and money can be earned slowly, but the championship is not a big deal, and many superstars can reach the top in their lifetime.

So there were a lot of mistakes on the pitch between the two teams, and Tang Wenlong rested for three minutes before playing again.

He twisted his neck, buckled his fingers with all his fingers, moved his knuckles, and then walked to the sideline to serve and passed directly to Luis.

Luis dribbled the ball under his hip in succession, advanced past half court and passed to Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong didn't stop the ball, and then turned to the right and gave it to Butler on the wing, and Butler hugged the basketball tightly. Tang Wenlong then came out to cover him without the ball, Speights, ran to the low post, Butler dropped the ball to him, and Tang Wenlong directly faced Collison in the low post.

"Misplaced, bag!" Brooks chanted from the sidelines.

Tang Wenlong caught the ball and shook it off, took a step back from the dribble, and made a jump shot!

Collison didn't expect Tang Wenlong to shoot like this, generally small men will choose to break through in the face of big players, Tang Wenlong's step-back jump shot is simply the opposite.

He didn't have time to interfere, Tang Wenlong was almost an empty position, but the shooting difficulty was a bit high.

hit his 10th point of the game, and the 76ers led the Thunder by eight points at 38-30.

The Thunder's old routine of blocking and dismantling offense, after blocking, found that there was no tactical effect, Westbrook attacked directly from the outside, facing the defense of 76ers rookie Butler!

"Grass, why is it so difficult for 76ers to come to an outside line at random?" Westbrook complained in his heart, and Butler failed, and he took a direct step from the three-point line.

Badly disturbed by Butler and missed.

The rebound was easily accepted by Tang Wenlong, and then he dribbled two steps and one behind his back to avoid Collison, who delayed his offense, and jogged through the half.

At the top of the arc, Tang Wenlong asked Speights to block and dismantle, and when he dribbled to the left, he encountered the Thunder and found the gap to distribute the ball to Speights.

Speights faced Collison who pounced again, and made a solid two-point jumper and hit. 40 to 30.

As soon as Tang Wenlong came on the court, the entire 76ers' tactics became flexible again, and the 76ers scored two goals in a row, and the situation on the court became unfavorable to the Thunder again.

Before the end of halftime, the Thunder reluctantly kept the point difference at this ten, and the toughness and aggression that were said before the game were played, but they couldn't prevent the 76ers' offense, how to play, the 76ers would always send the ball to the empty teammates on the court, even if they couldn't send it, and Tang Wenlong unreasonably forced the shot, and the hit rate was also extremely high.
