On April 21, with the game between the Thunder and Spurs over, the results of the first round of the playoffs of each team G2 were also settled.

All the top half teams in the East and West have managed to defend their home courts, and except for the Mavericks and Nuggets, all the other teams playing at home have easily won against their opponents.

On April 20th, the Mavericks and Nuggets' G2 entered a white-hot level, with all seven players on both teams rotated and frequently fell into hand-to-hand combat on the court, with Carmelo Anthony and Dirk Nowitzki shooting a lot, and for a long time, both sides were free throw shootouts.

But the Mavericks still struggled to hold their home court, relying on Nowitzki's performance of 28 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, and in the end, 98-92, won a difficult victory over the opponent.

It's just that after the game, Coach Carlisle was very dissatisfied with the blowing penalty of this game, and he frequently fired at the press conference:

"It's hard for me to imagine playing at the American Airlines Arena, which is our home stadium, but Carmelo Anthony made 15 free throws in this game, and the inconsistency of the two sides almost cost us this game, and the league should pay attention to the referee!"

As soon as Coach Carlisle said this, Amerika's media were suddenly overjoyed, and finally the news came again!

Since the evening of the 20th, media reporters and ball critics have vigorously discussed the issue of referees' blowing penalties, and even the Thunder's victory over the Spurs has not changed this hot topic.

After all, everyone has already defaulted to the Thunder team as an excellent and strong team, and there is nothing explosive about winning...

As G2 ended, the Russian City media went on a binge, and San Antonio's reporters began to join in the hot topic of referees' penalty scales, once again complaining about Durant making too many free throws.

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean does not have these messy things, and when the game is over, everyone unanimously blows Li Ze.

In the CCTV studio, the host Yang Jian and the guest Yang Yi were all smiling, the Thunder team won, Li Ze played well, and everyone was very satisfied with this script.

"It was really guessed by you, 110 points, the Thunder won the game, Li Ze's play was still very good, shooting 9 of 13, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 26 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 turnovers, the efficiency is too high!"

"Yang Yi, you can predict again, the next game of the Thunder will go to San Antonio, two consecutive away games, do you think the Thunder can directly sweep the Spurs?"

The moderator, Yang Jian, threw out the question again.

"I think it's still more difficult to sweep the Spurs, after all, playing at home has a great bonus to the team, the atmosphere on the spot, the referee's blowing scale, and the players' emotions, which will affect the trend of the game."

"And the Spurs' defensive strategy has changed, after Li Ze made three consecutive 3-pointers in the second quarter, Popovich instantly became angry, and then the Spurs' defense directly stuck to Li Ze outside the three-point line."

"You're right, I remember that Popovich also replaced Roger Mason, who didn't do anything on the court, just stalked Li Ze, but played for about 6 minutes, fouled too much, and the defensive effect was not good, and he didn't play again."

After the host Yang Jian heard Yang Yi's words, he also interjected, after all, the adjustment of the Spurs impressed him deeply.

"So, when the Spurs come back to their home court, they will definitely make adjustments, George Hill's playing time will definitely be reduced, the defensive strategy will also change, and again, the home whistle will definitely prevail, and this is also the time to test Durant."

"And the time is actually not very friendly to the Thunder team, Amerika has a day off on the 22nd local time, and the game starts on the night of the 23rd, leaving them very little time to rest and adjust, I personally predict that there should be Tianwang Mountain in this round of the series, and the Thunder team will advance 4-2."

Yang Yi was not afraid of slapping his face, and directly gave the exact result, and he planned to go back and write two more articles, blow Li Ze, and rub this big hot spot.

"Thank you Yang Yi for your prediction, let's wait and see, here is also a preview for you, on Saturday the 24th, CCTV will continue to broadcast the G3 game between the Thunder and the Spurs!"

After watching this game, many fans naturally want to blow Li Ze on the tiger pounce, especially the fans of the Suns, who have been extremely active in the past few days and have taken revenge!

"It's so cool! I really wish the Thunder swept the Spurs, I said a long time ago, without those off-the-board moves, the Spurs would be nothing. ”

"It turns out that Bowen and Horry are the real thighs of the Spurs, Popovich can't do it, and even let George Hill start!"

"The Spurs still want to repeat the old trick and let Roger Mason go up to do things, but he was easily taught to be a man by Li Ze with his back alone, less than 6 minutes, 3 fouls, laughing at me!"

"At this time, I just want to say Li Zeniu X! Sweep the Spurs! Thunder Championship! ”

......

After playing on the evening of the 21st, and leaving for San Antonio on the morning of the second day, Coach Brooks sent the players home early to rest and recharge, after all, the road trip to the playoffs will not have a good experience.

The players rested, the coaching staff continued to be busy, Coach Brooks looked at the technical statistics in his hands, his brows were tightened, although G2 won, but he was not satisfied with the process.

"Scott, the opponent is restricting Kayce more and more, forcing him to play, do we want Kayce to add some individual attack, after all, he is very efficient!"

Coach Brooks naturally understands what the assistant coach means, and everyone is worried that the role players will be inaccurate when they go away.

Although Jeff Green scored another 14 points in this game, his performance of shooting 4 of 14 and 1 of 4 three-pointers is really reassuring, and there may be no whistle on the road...

Both Jeff Green and Kostic had some precursors to the game, and if it weren't for Ibaka's 5-of-5 shooting, Li Ze's assists would not have reached 9 at all.

"Let's keep up with this strategy, Kevin is in good shape, although I'm a little worried about Russell, but we're 2-0 up now, according to the plan, just get an away win, let's not put too much pressure on the lads in the next game."

Durant G2 also played well, shooting 9 of 19, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, and got 27 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 turnovers and 1 steal.

"Russell also played very well, scoring every time he transitioned, and it would be nice to have a consistent three-point shooter on the team."

The assistant coach looked at the data of 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and also praised it.

But when I think about the problem of three-point shooting, I also feel a little big, if Jeff Green and Turtle can't respond from the outside, then in the next game, the Spurs' defense will also shrink, and G2 has this trend.

"It's still according to the previous game plan, we can have Kostic more on the line, be a receiving point, Kayce can dominate the ball, and we don't have to worry about that."

"But I don't think the Spurs are going to continue to shoot from beyond the three-point line, and we're going to get the lads to pay attention to that."

Coach Brooks was writing and drawing on the strategy board as he spoke, and when he thought of rebounding, he couldn't help but feel that if there was a Tim Duncan on the team, everything on the inside would be solved.

Duncan G2 had another 25 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and most importantly, no turnovers, and in just one game, Duncan completely adapted to the Thunder's pinch defense.

"Rookie Byron can't keep up with the team, and in the offseason, do we have a chance to add a big man? Hey..."

Hearing the sigh of the assistant coach, Coach Brooks also thought helplessly in his heart:

"It's not necessarily a good thing that the team is growing too fast, after all, there are aspiring interior players who will not be willing to play for the Thunder trio... Blue-collar insiders, you can't earn too much American knives! ”

On April 22, the Thunder team traveled to San Antonio, and the first-round matchup has come to the most critical time, and G3 and G4 will decide the trend of the series.

At the same time, the NBA league announced the winners of the COY (Best Coach) award and the MIP (Most Improved Player) award on this day.

Thunder head coach Scott Brooks won the '09-10 coach award with an overwhelming 480 points over the Bucks' head coach Scott Skels.

Russell Westbrook, with 35.8% of the votes, narrowly defeated the Rockets' Aaron Brooks and won the Most Improved Player Award in the 09-10 season.

The Thunder were happy, and when they arrived in San Antonio, they held a simple celebration party for Coach Brooks and Turtle and Turtle at the hotel.

"Well deserved, to be honest, there is no suspense in this award, I just saw the coach's votes, 71 first place votes, 39 second place votes, 8 third place votes, completely crushed the second place!"

Li Ze started his own business mutual blowing mode, constantly praising his head coach...

"From 23 wins to 61 wins, Coach Brooks is leading us forward, congratulations, the league should have announced this award sooner rather than later so we could have a big party in Ohio."

Durant also followed suit, and if it was nice, don't risk the money.

Coach Brooks was also very happy when he heard the fancy praise of the players, and when he noticed the happy turtle, he immediately clapped his hands and said solemnly:

"To get this award, it's all thanks to everyone's support, which is also an affirmation of the league for us, this season, we have suffered a lot, we are almost the team with the heaviest training tasks in the league."

"But we've had success, second in the West, third in the league, Most Improved Player Award, Rookie of the Year, scoring champion this season, that's a great achievement!"

"Congratulations, Russell, you have made a huge improvement on both offensive and defensive ends, and we can all see your progress this season, keep up this momentum, I believe that in the future, the Thunder team will give birth to MVP, FMVP, and the future must belong to you!"

"Whew!" "Bang Bang..."

Everyone on the Thunder team screamed and immediately cooked the bowl of chicken soup, and at the same time sent a warm round of applause to Brooks and Turtle.

"Well done! Russell, I knew you could win the prize, we were second in the West! ”

"Russell, can I touch your trophy, that's so cool!"

"Give Nina a call, she's overjoyed!"

Li Ze saw the smiling turtle, and also patted him on the shoulder and sent his blessings:

"MIP is just the starting point, Bro, you're going to be an All-Star next season, you're going to have a legendary career!"

The Thunder are laughing and laughing, while the Spurs are in a more serious situation, falling behind 0:2, and the first game back at home must be won, if the big score slips to 0:3, then this round of the series can be declared over early.

Coach Popovich and the coaching staff have discussed many ways over and over again in the past two days, but the disadvantage in the position has been difficult to make up for with a tactical system, and it is difficult for his disciple George Hill to play as well as he should in this series.

And after Manu Ginobili mentioned that after starting, he also needs to continue to play in the rotation stage, and the further the game drags on, the physical problems will gradually be exposed.

"Greg, I think there's time for someone to make sacrifices on the team, we can't afford to lose this game again, we can't expect a sudden spike in three-point shooting from the outside, we have to admit that we're completely at a disadvantage."

After hearing the assistant coach's words, Popovich thought briefly for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:

'I'm in charge of communicating with Richard, we have to win tomorrow night, I'm going to take responsibility for the first two defeats, but for now, we can only trust our players.'

The so-called sacrifice is to divide the right to take Richard Jefferson's shots, and Jefferson has struggled to respond to his outside shooting in the first two games, averaging 13 shots per game but hitting only 3 shots.

Therefore, the coaching staff of the Spurs decided to completely concentrate the ball in the hands of the GDP and the rest of the people to defend with all their might, as for the three-point shot? This game doesn't matter anymore, they intend to suffocate the Thunder at home with tough defense.

Coach Popovich thought about the Thunder's roster structure again, and he felt more and more that giving up the three-point shot might be the right choice, after all, the Spurs this season are not a team that is good at three-pointers, and he believes that the Thunder's joint defense will not be able to withstand Duncan's impact.

"Hopefully it's not a bad choice, maybe next season, the team should trade for a defensive striker..."

On the evening of the 23rd, at the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans have entered the stadium one after another, although the regular season results are average, and the first round of the playoffs is 0:2 behind the Thunder, but the fans will still do their best to support the home team.

Li Ze still chose to warm up half an hour early, feeling the atmosphere of the scene, and he felt that the fans in San Antonio were far worse than in the Russian city.

However, considering that the Spurs have won championships and have been in the playoffs for many years, it is understandable that the enthusiasm of the local fans has waned a bit.

"It's in good shape, Kayce, but you have to be careful with what you do away from home, and everyone knows the Spurs' style at that."

Trainer Meg briefly reminded Li Ze that he didn't want his big employer to be hurt by some off-the-board moves.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention, Ginobili plays well, I'm not a small guard like Steve Nash, and this muscle is not for nothing."

Meg thought about Li Ze's style of play, nodded in agreement, and then reminded again:

"The Spurs will definitely try to win this game, and if you fall behind by a big score, don't force yourself."

"Don't worry, I know when I need to make a move."

In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, in the CCTV studio, the host Yu Jia and the guest Xu Jicheng have been chatting about the game for a long time, and when the director team prompted that the starting list in front of him had come out, the host Yu Jia immediately said:

"The Spurs who returned to their home stadium did make a personnel change, George Hill returned to the bench, and the starting five of this game were: Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan, Antonio McDyce."

"The Thunder are still in the regular rotation, and Coach Popovich has taken his strongest lineup, Coach Xu, what do you think of this game?"

"Tony Parker's return to the starting line-up may also mean that the Spurs have given up on the strategy of using outside shooting to break down the defense, the first two games were lost too badly, and this game, the Spurs will definitely go all out to win, and the ball may go to the inside more."

Xu Jicheng immediately expressed his opinion, and he felt that Popovich would definitely not continue to break the joint defense with the outside line.

"Let's see if the Spurs' adjustment will work, after all, the first two games are not small compared to the first two games, the game starts immediately, let's turn the screen to the front!"

Playing away, the Thunder team wore the blue away team uniform, and after the Spurs DJ roared wildly, the players completed the game, and in the final warm-up stage before the game, the Thunder team naturally noticed the changes in the Spurs' lineup.

"Tony Parker is back in the starting lineup, Russell, and you might miss George Hill's defense."

Durant laughed and teased the turtle next to him.

"It doesn't matter, he's a fake starter anyway, and the Spurs are almost a seven-man rotation, so I've gotten used to their defense."

Turtle said confidently.

"Russell, you have to pay attention to the scale of blowing, after all, this is the home of the Spurs, and some moves may be caught by the referee."

Although the coalition canceled Hand

check, but sometimes some small actions on the line, whether to blow the penalty or not are all in the referee's thoughts, Li Ze doesn't want to see the turtle being troubled by fouls.

"Small problem, after all, we are guarding joint defense!"

When the referee signaled for both players to come to the center of the field, the players on both sides said a brief hello, and Kostic and Antonio stood in the center circle, ready to jump the ball.

"CCTV, what you're seeing now is the Western Conference playoffs, the third game of the first round between the Thunder and the Spurs, Antonio successfully jumped to the ball for the Spurs, and Ginobili dribbled the ball across the half court and immediately gave the ball to Duncan at the free throw line."

The host Yu Jia saw Duncan come to the high post to catch the ball, and his tone was a little surprised.

The Spurs' opening offense was unusually simple, and instead of using the outside ball to dismember the Thunder's defense, they chose to let Tony Parker use his speed to attack the basket.

When Parker came to the line to catch the ball, he suddenly ran back, and after receiving Duncan's pass, facing Durant, who was shrinking the defense, his left hand suddenly changed direction in front of him, and then his right hand quickly turned and closed the ball to the basket, and his left hand was low and the hand was layup.

"Whew!"

The crowd at the AT Center was immediately greeted with a huge cheer from Parker, who then began to cheer for the team's defense, led by the live DJ.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

"Good shot! Tony Parker's signature turnaround and breakthrough layup, although the Thunder's defense has shrunk, Parker's speed is too fast, and sure enough, as Coach Xu expected, the Spurs may give up the strategy of breaking the joint defense from the outside. ”

Seeing the Spurs' first attack scored easily, the host Yu Jia was a little worried about the situation of the Thunder.

Coach Brooks stood next to him and applauded, signaling that the defense was no problem at all, and at the same time gave the Thunder everyone a gesture to sign that they must start steadily.

The Thunder's offense, the turtle quickly dribbled across the half court, Li Ze quickly bounced to the top of the arc to receive the ball through Kostic's off-ball cover in the paint area, Li Ze just received the pass from the turtle, and Ginobili's defense had been pasted.

Noticing that Ginobili's defense was on the left side, Li Ze accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, broke through to the paint area and suddenly closed the ball, and then turned back with his right foot as the axis, and threw a backward jumper.

The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

"Shhh

Seeing Li Ze hit the shot at the beginning, the audience in the AT Center Arena immediately sent a huge boo, and Spurs fans know that a large part of the reason for losing the first two games is that Li Ze played too well.

"It's hard for the Spurs to guard against Li Ze! This kind of left-handed and left-handed balanced player makes it difficult for defenders to judge the opponent's offensive intentions, and the Spurs' offense also needs Ginobili, so the consumption of defense at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is too great. ”

Xu Jicheng saw Ginobili struggling to defend and was still shot by Li Ze on two points, and after praising Li Ze, he also explained Ginobili's dilemma.

The Spurs quickly sent out the baseline ball, and after Parker dribbled past half court, Duncan still came to the free throw line to receive the ball, and Ginobili quickly came to the line and played a hand-to-hand with Duncan.

In the face of Li Ze's defense, the right hand changed direction in front of the body, and the left hand accelerated the ball to break through, Li Ze maintained a good defensive position, and Ginobili could not completely shake off the defense.

But Ginobili also suddenly made a turn during the process, and instantly came to the basket, picking up the basket with his right hand, and was slapped by Li Ze's big hat.

"Smack..."

"Squeak..."

The referee blew a foul on Li Ze's beater, which made Li Ze look a question mark, although he hit it, he touched the ball first.

"It's obviously a beautiful cover, you should see it clearly on the bottom line, you can go watch the replay, sir!"

Coach Brooks expressed his dissatisfaction with the linesman on the sidelines, receiving a foul so soon would definitely affect Li Ze's defensive intensity, but unfortunately the referee had no intention of changing the decision and signaled Ginobili to make two free throws.

"Oh!!"

The crowd started cheering, and they liked to see the opposing head coach angry.

Ginobili stood at the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and hit two free throws steadily, and the Thunder quickly sent a baseline ball, and the turtle dribbled across the half court, and immediately played a high block with Kostic.

Noticing that Antonio's defense was cowering inside, Turtle didn't hesitate and made a pull-up jump shot from the free throw line.

"Bang...", he was angry.

After the rebound was received by Duncan, it was immediately passed to Parker, and the Spurs wanted to launch a quick transition offense, but the Thunder's retreat was also unusually fast, noticing this, Parker gave his teammates an offensive gesture and slowly dribbled through the half.

Duncan Rick mentioned blocking and dismantling for Parker on the three-point line, high-quality blocking and dismantling, easily getting rid of the entanglement of the turtle, facing Jeff Green who came up with the switch, pretending to break through with the ball in his left hand, and suddenly made a sudden stop-and-go jump shot.

"Whew...", two long points were scored.

Jeff Green was a little annoyed and signaled to his teammates that the ball was his problem, and after the opening game, Parker broke through to the penalty area, which made him a little jealous of the opponent's breakthrough, and subconsciously took a step back, but the opponent shot directly...

When the Thunder attacked, the turtle made a gesture and signaled to give Durant a double screen.

Because Jefferson defended Durant very fiercely in this game, and always chased Jeff Green's cover was not of high quality, he felt that it had no effect, so he couldn't help but quietly move a small step.

The experienced Jefferson immediately tilted his body and fell directly to the ground.

"Squeak..."

The linesman motioned for Jeff Green to move to cover, and Jefferson, who fell to the ground, immediately threw his fist and roared.

"Ahh

Li Ze noticed that such a situation happened, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart, when he came to the opponent's home field, some small actions, the referee would definitely grasp it very strictly.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 10:12, and the game was completely stuck in the rhythm of the Spurs.

It doesn't matter if you can't score, the two big men Duncan and Antonio are in a mess, plus the referee blows two whistles from time to time, and the Thunder's offensive rhythm is completely disrupted.

During the official timeout, Brooks head coach immediately brought Ibaka on the pitch and cheered his players on:

"Guys, we started the game really well, we have to be patient offensively, we have to control our mistakes very well, we have to keep it up, hold on, the Spurs are not going to maintain this defensive intensity throughout the game."

After the timeout, the Spurs continued to maintain their offensive rhythm, and Jefferson had completely connected with Durant, desperately giving Durant physical confrontation on the defensive end.

The Thunder attacked, Li Ze came to the right side of the three-point line to receive the ball, at this time Durant suddenly ran back, relying on Kostic's cover, cut inside,

After receiving Li Ze's pass, he just dribbled a step, and was cut off by Jefferson, who successfully defended Jefferson while applauding himself, but still a crowd at the scene cheered.

"Whew!!"

The Spurs fans saw this scene and immediately shouted with joy, this is the atmosphere at home, the fans are sometimes the team's best sixth man.

In the remaining minutes, the Spurs always maintained a high-pressure defense against Li Ze and Durant, and at the same time, the defense against the turtles and turtles also became very targeted, Antonio and Duncan no longer easily defended, and Parker also took a proper step.

At the end of the first quarter, at 22:24, the Thunder, who were playing away, temporarily trailed by two points.

At the break, Li Ze and Durant suddenly felt depressed, the offensive space could not be opened, the Spurs' defense finally began to shrink, Jeff Green and Ibaka did not take their chances, and Kostic's interior finishing was also soft.

Every time he receives the ball in the middle distance, there is one person next to him and one person on the breakthrough line, such a layer-by-layer defense really limits the play of Li Ze and Durant.

However, the turtle played well in the first quarter, 4 of 6, and the Spurs seized all the opportunities they were given.

The next three quarters of the game were almost exactly the same as the first quarter, and the Spurs completely suffocated the Thunder at home with their crazy breakthroughs and extreme defensive rotation.

At 88:94, the Spurs, who returned to their home court, successfully pulled one back.

After the game, Coach Popovich shook hands with Coach Brooks with a smile on his face, and sent his blessings by the way:

"Scott, congratulations on winning the best coach, you are the youngest team in the league, you have created a miracle with these young people, come on, the future is yours, but we will not show mercy in the next game."

Coach Brooks has also calmed down his mood, losing for the first time in the playoffs, it is inevitable that he will be a little disappointed, and when he heard Popovich's words, he immediately smiled and said:

"Thank you for your blessings, but there's still a lot to learn, and tonight, the Spurs did teach us a lesson, but we're going to try our best to win the next game!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then said with a smile at the same time:

“Good

luck”

This game was drowsy, and in the CCTV studio, the host Yu Jia and guest Xu Jicheng were also a little depressed when they saw the Spurs winning in this way.

"In this game, the GDP combination began to exert its power, Parker was 10 of 16, got 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers, Ginobili was 7 of 14, got 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Duncan was 11 of 18, got 25 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and the three of them combined for 70 points!"

The host Yu Jia saw the technical statistics in his hand, and couldn't help but praise the GDP combination in his heart.

"The key to winning or losing this game is defense, and the Spurs have completely changed their defensive strategy in the previous two games, no longer defending Li Ze and Durant, but the Thunder's offensive problems have appeared in the role players."

"Li Ze has 22 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover, Durant has 24 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal, plus Westbrook's 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, the three of them are not inferior to the GDP combination at all, but the role players are basically dumb."

Xu Jicheng didn't expect that after the Thunder team and the young people arrived at the away game, they would start to vomit cakes...

"Indeed, as Coach Xu said, then how do you think the Thunder team should adjust in the next game, 2:2 and 3:1 are completely different!"

Hearing the host Yu Jia's inquiry, Xu Jicheng thought briefly for a while, and then said truthfully:

"There's not much room for adjustment, the Thunder have been playing like this all season, this game is just not going to shoot, but your game strategy is like this, you have to continue to shoot when you have the opportunity, I can only hope that the boys will quickly adjust their mentality, and it is really difficult to play away games."

The time of this game is Saturday in the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, so there are a lot of people watching the game, and the fans of the Thunder team heard Xu Jicheng's comments, and their hearts were cold, and everyone ran to the Tiger Pounce Forum to start acting as a dog-headed military advisor.

"Oh no, Jeff Green's first two games were okay! Why did you suddenly languish on the road, which brother can talk about whether the Thunder still has a reliable rotation? ”

"It's really no, in the regular season, the Thunder rotated up to 10 people, and in the playoffs, it became 8 people who could be replaced, and on the bench, there were only Ibaka and Nick Collison on the inside."

"The Thunder's defense is actually not too much of a problem, and they lost two rebounds, but the offense is getting slower and slower, and I remember that Li Ze gave Kostic two chances to dunk almost easily, and they were both capped by Duncan..."

"I've long said that in the middle of the season, you should trade Tyson Chandler over, and with a boxing champion, there will be a huge improvement on both ends of the floor."

"Didn't the news say that people wouldn't come, if you want to be so fantastical, bring Gasol over, the Thunder team is directly invincible, I feel that Li Ze is more suitable for Gasol than Kobe."

"Don't fantasize here, the Thunder team is just a few people, hurry up and pray that Jeff Green can be brave, the Spurs' two interior rim protection capabilities are too strong."

"The game is really ugly, there are no three-point shots, and there are no converted dunks, if it weren't for Li Ze, I would definitely not see the end of this game."

......

After the game, in the locker room of the Thunder team, everyone was in a good mood, after all, the big score was still ahead, and as long as they won one away game, they could return to Russia City with a 3:1 advantage.

"Fack! Jefferson and Antonio, these two have already committed 5 fouls in the 4th quarter, and they stuck to the end of the game, shit referee! ”

Li Ze heard Durant's complaint, and also complained:

"I almost got off the court with six fouls, and Ginobili came back home and became a foul maker..."

"Haha, Kayce, fortunately you finally controlled your emotions, I feel that the referee's blowing scale has suddenly become stricter, this game is my problem, when I was in Russia, such a cover will not be blown for a foul at all."

Jeff Green, who was super ghostly in this game, took the initiative to take the blame, he was blown by the referee twice for moving the screen, but in fact, this can't blame him, if you want to improve the quality of the screen, you have to use some small means, but the current version does not support mobile cover...

"We're definitely going to play better in the next game and honestly, I just got used to the Spurs offense in the second half."

Turtle Turtle also played unhappily in this game, no later, no conversion of offense, plus the first away game, in the face of the overwhelming boos of Spurs fans, the mood never got up.

Head Coach Brooks came to the locker room and immediately comforted his players:

"Remember that sentence, the playoffs started with a win on the road, we did our job well, and the Spurs did the same, but in the next game, we still have a chance and forget about this loss!"

"After returning to the hotel, have a good rest! Don't forget to read the news reports and ignore the bullshit, we will definitely win the next game! ”

Although the head coach Brooks was full of confidence in front of the players, when he returned to the hotel, he became worried, and the worst happened, and the Thunder's three-point shot began to be inaccurate.

"Scott, relax, after this game, the lads must have adapted to the atmosphere of the away game, and our outside touch will definitely rebound in the next game, don't worry, you should rest early!"

Coach Brooks heard the assistant coach's reassurance and whispered back:

"I'm not just worried about the three-point shot, the last two games, we lost the transition offense, and this game was completely disrupted by the Spurs, and the opponent's shooting percentage is picking up, which is not a good sign."

"We can't expect the Spurs to hit back-to-back shots below the regular season, and we have two days to go, so we're going to get the players in shape and I'm sure the lads will bounce back."

Thinking that he was still leading 2:1, Coach Brooks also breathed a sigh of relief, let go of those chaotic thoughts in his heart, and comforted himself in his heart:

"Everything will be fine, we are still ahead of each other..."

After Li Ze returned to the hotel, he simply took a bath, and began to reply to the condolence messages sent by his friends.

According to the rules of the regular season, Jeff Green, who has been super ghosts in a row, should return to normal in the next game, and Kostic, who has softened once, should also harden in the next game, and there will be fluctuations in the away game, which is a normal phenomenon.

Finally replied to the blessing text message, and after logging in to Twitter and Facebook, he saw a bunch of messages, Li Ze directly threw his phone aside, lay on the big bed and fell asleep directly.

In the dream training space, Li Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that a new prompt appeared on the control panel, and after thinking about the last few games, he didn't have any special moves, and couldn't help but enter the achievement room curiously.

Seeing the new copper-colored badge in front of him, Li Zeshang touched it:

Achievement Badge [Death Coil]: 4/50

Enhance the ability of players to defend opposing offensive players face-to-face on the outside.

After Li Ze saw the attributes of this badge, he couldn't help but scratch his head, defending the badge, the bonus effect was not too obvious, and he felt that it didn't help much, but another thought suddenly popped up in his heart:

"[Death Coil] is here, if you produce another Chipping Badge, maybe the effect will be very good!"

Looking at the silver badge in front of him, Li Ze also let go of some worries in his heart after losing, and thought of the game the day after tomorrow, and thought confidently:

"If it's a big deal, I'll die in the dead of it, the Mamba spirit supports me!"
