Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Three Stooges
The Hornets arrived in Oklahoma with ambition and gave the Hornets such a result, and the Hornets naturally couldn't stand it, and the mood of the whole team was a little low.
The Hornets lost so badly, so simply, because of the strength, but also because of the big head coach.
Just look at the Thunder, Brooks has a brilliant fine-tuning on offense and complete control on defense. He's done a lot of work!
Some of the details that Bauer did here were not needed in the face of Brooks' adjustments.
Originally, there was a gap in hard power, and soft power was opened a little bit, which is better than an ass!
Ball's performance was so bad, he was bombarded by the New Orleans media immediately after the game, Ball was not popular in New Orleans, he made a good Hornet what it is now, and now the first game of the playoffs is not well directed, Ball immediately bears more pressure than everyone else.
As you can imagine, this series of Ball did not have a wonderful performance, and he was bound to leave.
Horn was also very depressed after the series, he had never felt so depressed.
The Thunder are not clever at the level of tactical ingenuity, their adjustment is not meticulous and exquisite, but adjusted in the most rude and fundamental way, losing at the hands of such a team, Horn is unhappy.
The other party is not smarter than himself, he does not pay more than himself, nor is he smarter than himself, just because the other party is in better health.
The Thunder just relied on talent, maximized talent, and then defeated the Hornets. Horn doesn't like to lose to such opponents, and losing to such opponents is not a loss to those few people at all, but to God.
God does give different people, different talents, and some people are gifted but also smart and hardworking enough, and that deserves respect. Some people only have talent, and nothing else at all, and losing to such people makes people unwilling in their hearts.
Horn sat in the hotel for a long time, and he thought about it a lot. First of all, with their current skill level, unless the Thunder give themselves a chance, let themselves cast their hands, and finally shoot them. Otherwise, you won't be able to solve the battle alone.
The point is that the Thunder will not give themselves such a chance, since they don't have the opportunity to open their hands, they have to rely on other methods!
Right! Other methods, Horn thought of the method, immediately thought of Paul, thought of Paul Horn thought of it all at once. In fact, the best way to crack the Thunder's brainless bag is to pass the ball well, pass the ball to the hands of the threatening person at once, and the Thunder's brainless bag is cracked, which is the best way, but it is also the most difficult way.
Horn knew he couldn't do that with his own consciousness, and he needed to study more footage to get a better pass.
With this in mind, Horn came out of his room, ready to go to Ball's place to get a video to watch.
He knocked on Bauer's door, but it was Paul who came to open the door, and Paul was stunned when he saw Horn, and then Paul suddenly laughed and said, "You also came to see the video!" ”
"You too!"
As soon as Horn said this, both of them laughed, and it turned out that the two of them thought together.
Bauer also walked out at this time, and when he saw Horn, he beckoned and said, "Come in!" ”
Bauer was also in a bad mood at this time, and Horn and Paul walked into the room. Ball was also watching the video of the game, in which the Hornets did play badly. The whole team was cut apart, and the unity of the team was not reflected.
Watching such a game, the faces of all three people were not very good, and Paul proposed at this time: "We must maintain the integrity of the team!" ”
Horn was also aware of this, and he casually said, "When I'm trapped, someone has to be in a threatening position!" ”
As soon as Horn said this, Ball's eyes lit up and he said, "We can let Horn hold the ball more, and then Paul and Ariza go up to catch it, so the ball will rotate." ”
Before, Bauer had no clue, but now as soon as the three of them discussed, they immediately caught up with one Zhuge Liang had a way.
But Ball immediately said: "But on the defensive end we still can't deal with Westbrook's strong attack!" ”
"You can let Ariza defend Westbrook, I'll play small forward, and Okafor play center!"
This is a solution that Horn had thought of before, and now that Horn said it, Ball's eyes immediately lit up, and it was a good solution.
The regular season is a game to maintain its own style, and the playoffs must be adjusted every game, Ball and Horn Paul discussed a rough plan, and then detailed a lot of details, and then Horn returned to his room to rest.
The second game of the game between the Hornets and the Thunder was still played at home in Oklahoma.
Commentating on this game are ** Reggie Miller and Marf Albert, before the opening Marf Albert said: "The last game Hornets lost really badly, Miller, do you think the Hornets have any hope of winning today?" ”
Miller said at this time: "There is definitely hope of winning, and it will not be easy for the Thunder to sweep the Hornets. Now it's up to the wasps to adjust! ”
Before the game, when commenting on the outlook for the game, Westbrook outside the field was also interviewed by reporters, and he was very open to reporters.
'We've found a way to deal with the Hornets and it will be us who will win today, we won't let the fans down at home, protect the home stadium and we will win as much as we can when we get away from home. The best result is to sweep the opponent out! ”
Westbrook has always been quite unkind to the Hornets, and the victory is already in his hands.
Durant also said at this time: "We will go all out to win and completely protect the home court advantage!" ”
Durant's meaning is also obvious, we are definitely going to win today.
The Thunder side is indeed a little arrogant and underestimated, and the fans of the Thunder also have a lot of confidence in winning at this time, and they wrote directly on the Internet: "We take 2; 0 to New Orleans and then we can go to the second round! ”
In the first game, the media predicted that the Hornets' winning rate was 4 percent, but today's pre-game prediction became 4 percent, which is less than 20 percent. It can be seen that the wind direction of the media is changing rapidly.
Before the game began, the Hornets were on a downward spiral, and the rest of Horne and the Hornets were all low-key and silent. Because they know that only winning is the best way to fight back!
The game between the two teams started on time, and the Hornets still started the regular game, and this regular start did not have the key ingredients of Horn, and the Thunder still had a big advantage at the beginning and played the Hornets a 11:4 small **.
Seeing this start, the whole world thought that the Hornets were about to kneel again, and at this time Ball called a timeout.
