Chapter 175: Three Rainstorms, the Problem of the Century!
"There aren't many rounds that can make the Thunder offense take more than 12 seconds after changing the new lineup in the second quarter, and more often than not, the battle is solved in 10 seconds! It's too fast, especially Lin Mu, who is simply the spokesperson of the fast man. I don't know about the rest of this performance, but the Thunder's attendance this season must be very impressive! ”
"Haha! I'm sure that the Thunder's home female fans will become more, Lin Chang is so handsome, coupled with this gorgeous style of play, maybe he can create his own glorious era in the Thunder team! ”
"Anyway, I'm more than happy to pay out of my own pocket to watch Lin's game, it's so exciting!"
"Then I'm different from you, I'll take my family to watch Lin's game together!"
"Hahaha!"
Inside the TNT studio, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith teased as the second quarter drew to a close.
The two of them often interact with each other during game time, and many fans are used to it.
But this time it was one-sided in agreement, watching the game between Lin Mu and the Thunder team was really pleasing to the eye!
"It's hard to imagine that the Thunder can play like this in the playoffs, the Spurs are short of major generals, they are really too old!"
Kenny Smith shook his head, not to mention that the GDP was incomplete, and the San Antonio Spurs had never won a championship without anyone.
Back on the court, with the last 10 seconds left, the Spurs made a final attack, and the ball was still in Parker's hands.
Without Ginobili, Parker's offensive tasks are more onerous, because Duncan is more responsible for the team's defense, in the playoffs, Duncan's average points per game is not high, but as long as he is on the court, the Spurs are among the best in both defensive efficiency and offensive efficiency!
That's the role of superstars on the field!
It's just that......
Parker was very depressed in the second quarter, Sephorosa and Lin Mu took turns torturing him, and finally on the last attack before halftime, the Frenchman successfully found the court!
The spirit snake is dispatched, a very difficult European step with a particularly large pace, throwing with his left hand when he loses his balance, pulling the rod into the hole, and doing it in one go!
A very difficult score, in front of a group of top-level outside defenders of the Thunder, it is impossible for Parker to score easily!
In the second half of the second quarter of the game, the San Antonio Spurs had adjusted their tactics, and Popovich directly asked his players to give up the opportunity to scramble for the frontcourt board, resolutely retreat, and did not give the Thunder any chance to play fast break.
This is also his helpless move, obviously he has an advantage inside, but it is difficult to implement.
Fortunately, Popovich has a good ability to adapt on the spot, can bend and stretch, and does not go all the way to the black like individual coaches, in order to win, even the defending champion must make corresponding adjustments!
Whereas!
In the face of the Thunder's reduced opportunities for fast breaks, Scott also came up with a three-board axe for positional warfare in today's era.
Pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, keep blocking!
Falling into the position, Lin Mu's ability to dominate the ball has greater autonomy than the fast attack, and he can attack and pass whenever he wants, which is the right given to Lin Mu by Scott and the whole Thunder team.
Every superstar needs to grow in the grinding, and if Lin Mu wants to become better, he has to take on more responsibilities on the court.
Even if he's not that good at it, he has to do it for the sake of the team!
The Spurs have also been prepared for a long time, and when it comes to positional warfare, this veteran powerhouse has really not been afraid of anyone!
Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, waved his hand, and the Spurs entered the pick-and-roll mode!
With Bonner off the court, Amy Udoka on the field, and Finley, Bruce Bowen and Tony Parker, Duncan on the inside, the Spurs have improved their speed in blocking and switching while reducing height.
But it is still quite difficult to compete with the Thunder at such a height.
Without Duncan's deterrent effect on the inside, the Thunder's impact on the interior would have become even more unscrupulous!
Selectively ignore Seflorosa and the new Dragic, strictly guard Lin Mu and Durant, even if you empty others, it doesn't matter!
After the dismantling and change of defense, standing in front of Lin Mu was Udoka, who was 1.98 meters tall, and was also one of the future rocket coaches.
looks much shorter than Lin Mu, whether it is the comparison of body or the competition of static talents, Lin Mu completely has the upper hand.
After changing the defense, the Spurs have selected the most suitable opponent, but they were still passed by Lin Mu in one step, using their strong physical advantage to squeeze away from Udoka, who was chasing the defense next to him, and the tough layup caused the Spurs players to make up for fouls.
2+1!
Duncan really wanted to help defend, but he was pinned down by Durant for the first time, and the threat level of this thing on the offensive end was even higher than Lin Mu's, and Duncan didn't dare to let it go at all.
Therefore, the assistant defender is Bruce Bowen, a shooting guard.
It's a pity that before the "Heavenly Broken Feet" could use his signature mastery, he was already rubbed under Lin Mu's body.
Seeing Lin Mu breaking through the opponent as if entering the basket without man's land, Popovich on the sidelines shook his head involuntarily.
The talent of these young people of Thunder is really good!
Even Jeff Green, who is 2.06 meters tall and can run, jump and defend, only plays the role of a sixth man in the regular season.
Not to mention 28 cards and Lin Mu, the old man is simply drooling.
“oh!
Man!
At 62:48, at halftime, the Thunder actually led the Spurs by 14 points! ”
"If this continues, the Thunder will most likely win the first round of the playoffs by a big score!"
"Lin had 14 points, 3 assists, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks at halftime, and didn't have a single turnover!"
"This kind of data is normal for a famous star, but you must know that the young man in front of him is just a rookie who has just entered the league, and he can not make a single mistake in such a tense and exciting game, and such a calm player is really a little impeccable!"
Bug!
Everyone has this idea in their hearts, if Lin Muruo continues to grow, he will become an uncontrollable bug in the alliance!
During the break, TNT commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were analysing the situation on the pitch and the performance of the players.
"To be honest, in addition to Lin, the Thunder team impressed me the most was the scoring guard Sephorosa who came off the bench, and Parker was in pain in the second quarter, although he still had 16 points on the offensive end, but the number of shots was terrible, and the efficiency was too low!"
"And Jeff Green, who played extremely hard, snatched two frontcourt boards from Duncan, and I remember sending big hats on the defensive end in the last three minutes of the second quarter, and this kind of physicality can't even be mixed with @starters in the Thunder team?"
"And what is that Dragic, it seems to be a second-round show, and he was unrelenting on the outside, shooting 3 of 3 three-pointers in the first half?"
"I'm curious, how the hell did these people come together with the Oklahoma City Thunder?"
Barkley tilted his head and asked, looking a little ridiculous.
"As far as I know, Jeff Green himself was a victim of that big trade and came to the Thunder last year. As for Sephorosa, he just came in this year, and Dragic was also the Thunder who came from the Suns during the trade. ”
"And that Lowry, the great-looking little chubby, who was also a player in this year's Thunder trade, when the big trade, people said the Houston Rockets made blood!"
"As for Yin Baka and Little Jordan, like Lin Mu, they were all chosen by themselves."
Kenny Smith explained to Barkley with a smile.
“hat?”
"The Thunder are really open, how can the players selected and the players who are traded can play an important role in the team?"
"According to local media reports in Oklahoma, these players were recommended by Lin Mu to the management, and then signed by the top."
"Oh my God! Are you sure? If that's the case, the Thunder team should give Lin Mu two salaries! ”
Just when Barkley and Kenny Smith were talking about the chicken, the second half of the game officially began!
Lin Mu, who played almost the entire first half, was placed on the bench, Scott knew that Lin Mu had plenty of physical strength, but in his heart, he had his own considerations.
There are too many players that the Thunder can play, and the eight-man rotation that I thought was suddenly surprised to find that the Thunder's means seemed to be more after playing against the Spurs!
If even the role players can contribute on the court, then this Thunder team will definitely have the absolute upper hand in the next games!
With Durant and Lin Mu as the core, a group of bandit-level players can definitely bring great trouble to the Spurs.
The two sides played about three minutes off the bench, and the Thunder team was led by Durant, and the 28-card team that was in the same class as Lin Mu performed well, making many team executives who followed this game call the Thunder team too lucky.
The two sides have come and gone, and the point difference has been kept around 10 points, Durant's stand-up singles are definitely a big killer in today's league, and when the Thunder's offense comes to a standstill, it is often Durant who stands up and takes over the game.
But in the absence of another core, the Thunder, despite their talent, have been suppressed by the opposing side in their offensive rhythm.
With Tony Parker hitting a three-point shot, the difference between the two sides was eroded to just 7 points!
"Without Lin Mu's defense and containment ability, the Thunder's ball is too unreasonable." In the Huaxia live broadcast room, there was a reasonable sigh from Zhang Li.
"That's right, although the margin is still so big, the Thunder's dominance of the court is clearly on a downward trend." Yu Jia also expressed his views on the side.
"Is Lin Mu injured? Why didn't Scott let him play? ”
"This is the stage of the playoffs, and you must not slack off in the slightest because you are ahead!"
One after another, after the third quarter of the trial and rest, the main forces of both sides began to return to the game.
When the next dead ball came, Lin Mu went into battle again, and as soon as he came up, the offensive and defensive conversion of the thunder was instantly much clearer.
The team is currently in a state of chasing points, and urgently needs to score to stabilize the morale of the army.
Blocking and dismantling with Durant, Lowry acted as the receiver in the middle, handed the ball to Lin Mu, changed direction and turned around under the crotch, Lin Mu easily passed Bowen and entered the inside line, and the ball was thrown high near the three-second zone against Duncan's ultra-long arm span defense, and the 28 cards behind him were windy, rising from the ground, and Lin Mu completed a violent empty dunk!
Even if Duncan can make up for the defense at the most appropriate time, he can't stand the consequences of leaking people, Lin Mu's passing is decent, and such an aerial connection can still be done.
Lin Mu returned to the court, the Thunder team's sinking situation was completely revitalized, and Durant was no longer needed to solve the problem alone, everyone was like a chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was rejuvenated!
End of three quarters, 85:70!
Relying on Lin Mu's brave play at the end of the third quarter, the Thunder team once again stretched the score to as many as 15 points!
With a 15-point difference in the final quarter, should the Spurs give up the game?
Inexistent!
This team has fought too many tough battles and played to this point today, if the Spurs surrender, it will have a huge negative impact on the next game and the visiting fans in attendance!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs sent all the main forces and rearranged the tactics to defend the defense, and Duncan was also actively asking for the ball inside, he wanted to start from the inside and completely defeat the entire Thunder team!
In the first four minutes, the Spurs' tidal inside attack did cause a lot of trouble to the Thunder, but Scott saw the move and replaced it with an inside stirring stick Collison, I can't stop you, I will use my weight to consume your physical energy wildly, although the offensive rhythm has slowed down, but the physical decline caused by high-intensity consumption will definitely affect Duncan's offensive efficiency, not only that, the pace of the defensive end will move slowly, and the Thunder will have more opportunities to impact the basket.
In addition, in response to the Spurs' joint defense strategy that sticks to the end, the three-point combination composed of Lowry, Dragic, and Durant has largely given the Spurs a headache.
As we all know, three points are the best way to break down the defense.
Popovich made another mistake, the Spurs struggled to rely on team cooperation to make a two-point shot, and the Thunder came over with an outside three-point shot, although the shooting rate was not as guaranteed as the two-point shot, but it couldn't stand the Thunder's fast offensive rhythm and could get more offensive rounds!
As soon as Lin Mu starts the Spurs, he will inevitably carry out the packing, as long as the Spurs cover the other shooters, the opportunity will come!
"Brush, brush!"
It was a rare three-point rainstorm at the Ford Center Arena.
An accelerated breakthrough, attracting the bag Lin Mu passed the ball to Dragic at the three-point line again, and Lin Mu had as many as 8 assists in this game!
And Dragic, who made his debut as a rookie, also helped the team hit five three-pointers from the outside, which can be called a miracle of the team!
With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs unexpectedly played an extremely efficient offense for a period of time, and the Thunder fell into silence for a period after the three-point rain!
The score is still 9 points away!
Spurs offensive round!
The French sports car advanced with the ball, handed the ball to Mason in the middle of the half, Bonner stepped forward to cover, blocked and dismantled, and failed to pass Dragic who was desperately defending for the first time!
Duncan stepped forward for a second pick-and-roll, and it was clear that the quality of the pick-and-roll had changed dramatically!
Mason, who has an extremely strong desire to attack with the ball, relies on more flexible footwork and rhythm changes, and throws off Ladragic in one step, Finley has already taken Duranta to the outside, and the anti-aircraft gun Bonner must be marked by a special person, 28 cards want to make up for it, but he also needs to always pay attention to the Tony Parker players who cut into the inside line, and the only one who can make up for the defense is Lin Mu, who is standing in the oblique corner and is stuck behind Duncan!
"Hey! It's a no-fly zone over Oklahoma! ”
Looking at Mason who had already vacated in the air, Lin Mu jumped on the spot, his body took off in an inclined way, and his extra-long arms stretched out directly from the bottom of the basketball in Mason's hand.
"Bang!"
"Destroyed! Mason's inevitable layup was destroyed out of bounds by Lin Mu, who jumped later, in a very weird way! "Smith is sluggish, good fellow, this static talent is too TM exaggerated!
"Luck, everything is luck!" Barkley grinned, this is outrageous.
But his heart is already frantically surging: "This guy is simply too perverted!" ”
"You, no!"
After the big hat, Lin Mu smiled at Mason and said, in exchange, it was just an indifferent and ruthless face, as if nothing could shake his heart, but as everyone knows, Mason has already set off an uproar in his heart: "Could it be that this is the so-called talent crushing?" ”
......
"Don't panic! Go on the offensive! Sudden throwing, the opposite side of the fierce battle until now the physical fitness has begun to decline, keep focused, we can win the game! At the critical moment, Duncan stepped up.
There is still time, and the Spurs, who are only 9 points behind, have a chance to overtake!
“OK! I'll steady! Mason responded.
The sideline ball is issued, and the problem of the century is once again reappeared!
Tony Parker's short stature directly sent the ball to Lin Mu's hand.
"Walk you!" Lin Mu quickly whipped up and switched to an emergency stop for two points!
"Lin Mu's choice is extremely bad, he actually chose to stop for two points, wouldn't it be better to stabilize this ball and play a position?" Barkley said with some confusion.
"Bang Bang!"
A real man will never slap his face at the first time!
The basketball entered the frame steadily, Lin Mu turned around and returned to his own half with a blank face, shrugged his shoulders, that's it?
With the B-level shooting bag of the king, my mom no longer has to worry about me not daring to shoot at mid-range!
"Ding Dong! Temporary Mission 3: Help the Thunder take a double-digit lead, current lead: 11 points! ”
Glancing at the competition time beside him, Lin Mu understood that the journey was far from over!
That big honest man, I'm going to overthrow your domination under the basket again!
