Chapter Eighty-Six: You Can't

The pace of the game changed abruptly, and the Hornets tied the score in one fell swoop.

The Thunder immediately called a timeout at this time, in fact, Brooks did not have room to adjust tactically. At most, he re-emphasized his attitude.

It was at this time that Joan Barry said on the sidelines: "Horn's performance was so good, he single-handedly supported the Hornets' bench lineup, and the Hornets' bench lineup should have been the Hornets' soft underbelly, but Horne played a strong feeling." This is very rare! ”

"Horn, in particular, relied on hard work and relied on the strength of the Thunder to achieve these advantages. It's even more rare, no matter what the game is. We're all going to say that Horn is good! ”

Both commentators praised Horn, but what they didn't know at this time was that fighting with Thunder was not a human job at all.

Although it was only a short time after the start of the second quarter, Horn felt a deep sense of fatigue. Horn's non-stop running, scrambling, and different movements all require a lot of physical strength.

Horn's physical strength began to decline, but at this time Paul and West entered the state, and once the two of them were killed, they were on a par with the Thunder.

At the end of the first half, the two teams were unexpectedly tied because Horn played too well in the second quarter. So as soon as the first half ended, the Internet was full of praise for Horn.

Even many Thunder fans praised Horn after the end of the first half.

"Horn was really passionate in the first half today. He has absolutely 10 times as much running range as Kostic! We need to do more too. “

"We lost to Horn's scramble, and he grabbed four frontcourt rebounds in the second quarter alone. We need to pay attention to rebounding! “

Thunder fans noticed Horne's dazzle, and Hornets fans rejoiced.

Many Hornets fans have been clamoring to give Horne a baby, and Joan Barry also said in the midfield: "Horne was completely the backbone of the Hornets in the first half, he is the soul of the Hornets." If Horne continues to play like this, the Hornets will hopefully win! ”

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Thunder still insisted on playing energy basketball at the beginning, and Westbrook was no different from the first quarter, still rushing desperately and playing desperately.

The Thunder team still maintained the previous rhythm, but not on the Hornets. Paul began to show fatigue, he had to defend Westbrook in the first half and organize the attack on the offensive end, occasionally had to play key balls by himself, and he had to pay physical strength on both offensive and defensive ends, and he was a little unable to support it.

In terms of absolute hardware, Paul can't catch up with Westbrook, who is still active like a big grasshopper at this time.

The rest of the Hornets players are not as physical as the Thunder, and the Thunder still rushed the Hornets' defense in the second half. Although the Hornets wanted to defend well at this time, they couldn't keep up with their feet and physical fitness.

The Thunder's serve count began to increase, the Thunder's offensive efficiency began to improve, and at the same time, problems with the thickness of the Hornets' roster began to come to the fore. You can play a quarter with momentum, but you can't play a game.

The Thunder began to gain the upper hand again in the third quarter, and Ball saw that the team was at a disadvantage, and he still wanted to take the medicine on Horn as prescribed.

But this time Horn came out, Horn ran all over the floor on the offensive end, and Green also ran all over the floor on the offensive end.

As a result, Horn didn't have the slightest chance to rest, and he couldn't help defend at all.

Horn was left running with the Thunder and playing almost nothing in the third quarter.

Horn played extremely passionately in the first half, and immediately extinguished the fire in the third quarter, almost unable to do anything. This is the collective wisdom, the Thunder uses the overall strategy to deal with Horn, Horn is no matter how powerful he is, no matter how hard he struggles, he can't come out.

As soon as the third quarter ended, Horn returned to the bench and gasped like a bellows. On the offensive end, he needs to run back and forth, and on the defensive end, the Thunder use different people to defend themselves in turn, putting themselves in a different defensive rhythm, and this series of changes makes Horn extremely uncomfortable.

Horn started to fight hard again in the fourth quarter, but by this time Paul's foul count was in question. Paul and Westbrook had a lot of fouls before, and this time they all accumulated in the fourth quarter, and Paul finally couldn't hold it anymore and was penalized within a few minutes of the opening game.

Without Paul, Horne can't play, the Hornets are still Paul's team after all, and Paul can organize the team alone. Horn can't, Horn may be able to support for a while, but definitely not the whole game.

The Hornets tried hard, tried hard, but in the end they still lost, and they lost badly.

The Thunder won and the Hornets lost miserably.

Westbrook was named the best of the game for his outstanding performance in this game, and the best of the game was treated as being interviewed by the media.

Westbrook said in a commentary interview: "We won today because we played better. The Hornets aren't as strong as the media make them out, and Horn isn't that strong! He may be able to play well in the regular season while others are not paying attention, but in the playoffs it is completely different, and Horn will not be able to play in the playoffs. It is absolutely impossible for the Hornets to win with Horne, and I hope this defeat will make Horne sober up a little, he is far from the real star! ”

Westbrook has a grudge against Horn, and when he gets the opportunity, he desperately taunts Horn.

Durant told the media after the game: "Before the game, the media gave the Hornets a 60% win rate, and I don't think their win rate is that high!" ”

When asked by reporters about Horn, Durant also didn't have much affection for Horn: "Horn played well, but if we stick together we can win him." ”

The two bosses of the Thunder said so, and the fans of the Thunder also came out of Black Horn at this time.

CBS's column also came out at this time and wrote: "Horn is a good player, but the first game of the playoffs showed us, although he is good, but there is no way to reverse a playoff game, he is still a normal role player." ”

The local media in Oklahoma is even more spicy: "Horn was compared to Durant before, and now it seems that he is too far behind Durant. Horn is just a role player! ”

The Hornets lost! The loss was ugly, and the media, which had previously favored the Hornets, immediately turned around and criticized the Hornets.

Horn lost too! He, a person who recruits black, is naturally bombarded by the media.
