June 9, Oklahoma City, Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The finals G3 is about to start, and local fans in Omura still attach great importance to this battle.

Basically, the whole family went out together and came to the stadium early to cheer for the Thunder players.

The atmosphere was pretty good, with the Bulls' Union Center being the home of the Devils, and the Thunder's Chesapeake Energy Arena not far behind.

With the support of the fans on the spot, the Thunder players swept away the haze of the previous two defeats and played hard from the first quarter.

“MVP，MVP，MVP！”

Whether it is Wei Shao breaking through the basket and scoring the ball hard, or Durant sticking singles, showing his killer nature, Thunder fans are chanting MVP.

Curry and George, one left and one right, hit a three-pointer at two 45-degree angles.

Doon didn't score 30 points tonight, only 26 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists to win the game.

Two MVPs led the team, and the Thunder's offense in the first half was really impressive.

The Bulls were originally the strongest projection team in the league, but because of their high defensive intensity and poor shooting touch, they could only rely on inside scoring to maintain the score.

Same recipe, same taste.

Next, the inside and outside shots, two-pronged, how can the Thunder resist?

The three-point rain was already on the rise, but Coach Brooks was still a beat slower to react until George hit another three-pointer, which he reacted and called a timeout.

Wei Shao and Durant, who don't want to lose, can only choose to pick up at this time.

However, the fans at the scene kept shouting: "Defend, defend, defend!" ”

In other games this season, in the fourth quarter, Durant would have been angry if Willis had less control of the ball.

Only three minutes later, Doon scored six points in a row on a sudden shot to narrow the gap to one.

However, he barely survived the difficulties in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, he began to expose the shortcomings of his lack of physical strength.

Sometimes, the star finally managed to play a mid-distance, and after more than ten seconds, it was like sleepwalking, putting the opponent in the sky blue, and in the blink of an eye, two points were sent back.

Then he watched the score be overtaken by the Bulls until he fell behind by 6 points, and then he was forced to take over the offensive banner.

The Thunder certainly entered the fourth quarter with a five-point lead, but the Bulls came into the fourth quarter early.

But the problem is, the Bulls are too capable of attacking, too capable of scoring!

If the Thunder want to win, it is impossible to send all Durant and Wei Shao to defend, after all, someone still needs to step up and score.

As for the Bulls players, firstly, they are playing away from home, and secondly, they will be affected by the home fans and the three Thunder supernumerary players on the sidelines, and the overall performance is relatively poor.

The Bulls, on their side, took the initiative to find Durant and Westbrook to attack, forcing them to expend more effort on the defensive end.

This gap in lineup configuration is not in the consideration of Coach Brooks.

Fortunately, the Thunder role players defended desperately, and their shooting touch was average, and no one threw open three-pointers to help the Thunder pull the score away.

The defeat in G1 in the finals was the most painful lesson.

Brush –

The team needs him to score, and the defense does the talking.

The Bulls relied on protecting the rebound and grabbed two counterattacks in a row, and the difference was suddenly narrowed to less than 10 points.

In fact, Durant also wondered, it was 3-0, why can you always be full of energy and high morale?

104-95, the finals G3 came to an end.

The problem is that the bull has already gained momentum, and if you don't call a timeout and press at this time, then the bull's offensive firepower will quickly burst out.

At halftime, the scores on the scoreboard were 46-59, and the Thunder built an early 13-point lead.

As a result, Brooks can only play the main force and continue to let Durant and Wei Shao hold the ball.

But tonight, Durant was a little cowardly.

Coach Brooks didn't seem to notice anything wrong, after all, the Thunder players on the court were also working hard defensively.

The problem is that the bull has already started to exert its strength, and after a while, it may be to collect the juice in advance.

If you don't attack fiercely in the first three quarters, you may be swiped by the Bulls in front, and you won't be able to hold up the Twin Stars in the fourth quarter.

"C doesn't move!" Durant helplessly looked at Wei Shao, who walked to the bench with his head held high.

If you rely on the first half to build a scoring advantage, and the second half focuses on defense to consolidate the advantage, the question is that the Bulls broke out at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, how to deal with this?

Durant and Wei Shao are unable to maintain offensive efficiency despite their lack of physical strength.

Since the third quarter, the Thunder have exposed the problem of scoring difficulties, and now it is still impossible to solve it in the fourth quarter, and they only scored 2 points after 4 shots in the first few rounds.

However, defense is not about shouting, it needs to be done by doing.

After returning from the timeout, the Thunder didn't want to be overtaken by the Bulls, so they could only solve the problem of offensive power outages first.

It can only be said that as long as you enter the rhythm of the Bulls' game, the score is as easy as the sky blue.

Now, the main players of the Bulls have regained their sense one after another.

Even though Wei Shao was a little sticky, he didn't say much.

Now the Thunder is also facing such a problem, how to correctly distribute the physical strength of the Thunder Gemini.

At present, the solution that the Thunder can think of is that others can use the penalty advantage to enhance the physical confrontation as much as possible and reduce the scoring efficiency of the Bulls.

Durant and Westbrook continued to work on the offensive end to further extend the score advantage.

First, Doon kept bursting into the basket and fed Ibaka and Whiteside three loaves in a row.

In less than half a quarter, the Bulls went on a 17-8 spurt.

It's just that the Bulls forward players have a lot of physical talent, and as long as they play the transition offense, they have a high probability of being able to succeed.

If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work.

Therefore, this problem is difficult to solve.

At first, the thunder's firepower could be continued, but after two rounds, the power suddenly went out.

Why is it so difficult for many stars to win championships in the late stages of their prime?

Just looking at the data, in fact, there is no decline, but when it comes to the game, once the intensity is increased, how to distribute the physical strength has become a problem.

However, by this time, the difference had narrowed to 4 points.

Originally, the Bulls have been playing under the basket, and they have already scored a lot of inside points, and now they have shot three points again, how can people prevent this?

Defense won the championship, the Thunder were able to win the championship last year, and this year with the same configuration to play for another year, which shows that the team's overall defensive level is okay.

However, in the third quarter, the Bulls players, led by Doon, finally returned to normal and showed the game form of the first two Finals.

Brush –

Concentrate on defense, and the offense may be pulled.

In a way, it's better to play away than at home.

And after this game, the finals are coming to an end.

If you really want to talk about it, it doesn't matter if you shave your head or not. (End of chapter)
