Wei Shao was injured in G1 of the finals, and G2 missed the game again, which had a great impact on the Thunder.

However, a small illness and pain like cramping hamstrings is not a particularly serious injury.

In a way, this is a warning that the red light has been lit up in the physical state, but for Wei Shao, who is determined to win the championship and is not in the firing line with a minor injury, this is really not a big deal.

Before the start of G3 in the finals, the Thunder officially changed the status of Wei Shao in the injury list to a doubtful appearance.

This also means that Wei Shao is very likely to be resurrected with full blood and return to the game in the upcoming G3!

Sometimes, players who are doubtful will come on as a substitute for the team's surprise players. And often as soon as he plays, he can make his opponent doubt his life.

June 11, Oklahoma, Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Before the start of G3, there was no Wei Shao in the starting list given by the Thunder.

In this regard, the bull did not open the champagne in advance, so he took it lightly.

Taking a step back, even if Wei Shao is still unable to play because of injury, who knows if there are any role players on the Thunder team who suddenly burst out and stage a rescue of Private Adu?

What's more, tonight is playing away from home, and the difficulty of winning away from home is bound to be greater than playing at home.

"Thunder wins, thunder wins!"

The game was about to start, and the Thunder fans at the scene chanted in unison.

I have to say that the Russian village is a little smaller, but the basketball atmosphere is still okay.

However, if an NBA team wants to win the championship, it is not enough to rely on the atmosphere inside and outside the team, the most important thing is to see whether the people who play can do it!

With last year's Finals experience, the Thunder players are no longer rookies.

But for today's luxury configuration of the bull, it is obviously not enough.

Not long after the start of the first quarter, the most popular word shouted by the fans at the scene was "Defense".

Obviously, at this time, the thunder has fallen into the downwind.

Looking carefully at the data of the two teams, Durant, the leader of the Thunder, has already shot 3 of 5 and 2 of 2 free throws in the first half of the first quarter, scoring 8 points, and his performance is not unexciting.

However, the score on the court was 18-14, and the Bulls still had a four-point lead for the time being.

In this case, you can't blame Durant's teammates for being CBA, but it really means that Durant, as the big boss of the team, is not comprehensive enough to lead the team to win correctly.

Of course, there are specializations in the art industry.

There are various positions on the pitch and there are different divisions of labor. Durant, as a small forward, does not require the ability to organize tandems.

Speaking of which, as a top scorer, Durant has done his job well enough.

Now this league, in terms of scoring, can do better than Durant, except for Dune, there is really no second one.

Wade, James, Anthony and others, compared with Durant, are at most in the middle of the middle, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

However, the Thunder want to beat the Bulls to win the championship, and Durant, as the leader of the team, is not enough to just do his job.

Especially in the absence of Wei Shao due to injury, Durant must make up for the missing part of Wei Shao.

But unfortunately, if Durant wants to win, he needs a playmaker to help him sort out the team so that he can concentrate on the offensive end.

Russell got up from the bench! He's undressing, is he ready to play? We are saved! ”

"Russell is ready to make a comeback, and the finals may have come to a turning point!"

"Russell, Russell, Russell!"

With more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the Thunder bench suddenly changed somewhat.

Wei Shao suddenly stood up from his seat, then slowly took off his training clothes, and then walked to the technical table.

When some of the Thunder fans at the scene saw this, they immediately shouted excitedly, and even danced with their hands and tears.

In fact, Wei Shao's substitute appearance tonight was foreshadowed.

After all, in the pre-game warm-up session, Wei Shao also went on the field with other teammates for a while.

It's just that during the warm-up shooting, Wei Shao didn't perform well.

Maybe it's because the leg cramp injury hasn't fully recovered, Wei Shao frequently hits iron when he warms up and shoots, although this is very Wei Shao, but it's also quite worrying.

Now that it's Finals G3, the Thunder don't have a few games to lose.

Once Wei Shao forced himself on the court, shot indiscriminately, and kept hitting the iron, causing the Thunder to lose, then this season was in vain.

However, now the momentum of the Thunder's game has been a little wrong, and the point difference is gradually widening towards 10 points.

Wei Shao was able to stand up from the bench at this time and take the initiative to help Durant share the pressure, and the Thunder fans were naturally full of joy when they saw this, and pinned most of their hopes on Wei Shao.

It's a pity that sometimes it's often the hope that the greater the disappointment, and it often backfires.

Facts have proved that Wei Shao's return to the stage of the Finals has not brought any help to the Thunder, but has become a drag on the team.

In just over three minutes, Wei Shao shot 0 of 3 and only scored one rebound.

The score on the court quickly changed from 26-18 to 33-18, and the difference suddenly widened to 15 points.

Of course, the Thunder was beaten out by the Bulls, and it was not entirely Wei Shao's responsibility.

The rest of the Thunder players were also incapable of putting the ball in the basket and failing to limit the Bulls players from scoring well.

It's just that Wei Shao is the leading player of the Thunder, and not only did he fail to help the Thunder narrow the difference, but he was beaten by the Bulls with such a big gap, and he must be mainly responsible.

After the first quarter, Wei Shao, who returned to the bench, was also a little sullen and seemed to be angry with himself.

In fact, Wei Shao's physical condition has almost adjusted, this time he shot 0 of 3, mainly because his ability to finish under the basket was not stable.

In the past games, Durant could still go to the bottom, but now that it is the Finals, Wei Shao played an undercover performance as soon as he came up, and the morale of the whole Thunder team also dropped greatly.

Durant himself is not a particularly leader and does not know how to comfort his teammates at this time.

Only chicken soup coach Scott Brooks took advantage of the interholiday break to constantly fall into the sky and rebuild the morale of the Thunder.

But after the start of the second quarter, George, who was a ghost, suddenly found his touch, and came up to score two three-pointers in a row to help the Bulls expand the difference to 20 points at once.

"How do I feel that the gap between us and the Chicago Bulls has gotten bigger this season?"

"Why is it that our three-point shots are always inaccurate, and the opponent's three-pointers are always going in?"

"Who's going to save us? Is there no hope for a single goal? ”

The Thunder fans at the scene felt desperate, and it was clear that the most powerful man on the court had not played much, and the game seemed to be over.

If he is killed by Doon, Thunder fans can still comfort themselves.

It's like in the 90s, losing to the Bulls, losing to Jordan's Lakers, Trail Blazers, Suns, SuperSonics, Jazz fans – we're not the only losers, there's no shame in losing to the gods of basketball! (End of chapter)
