Chapter 460 Thunder's Chance
Lost again and again, and tonight, Kevin Durant played abnormally, and Russell Westbrook, whom they were expecting, did not perform much now. He is a neurotic player. If you have a knife, then you have nerves in this game.
In the next situation where Kevin Durant was completely ignorant, he could only continue to choose to do it alone, but the Clippers' emphasis on interior defense made his breakthroughs come back time after time without success, which made the Thunder very uncomfortable up.
Kevin Durant froze, and Russell Westbrook was also uncomfortable breaking through in this game, which directly made them completely clueless on the offensive end, and there was absolutely no way. When their offense stalled, quickly The ship's attack was still going strong.
An Sheng faced the absent-minded Kevin Durant and made a one-step attack. This is an offensive method that Kevin Durant is very good at. In the series, he scored countless goals in this way. But now, he was directly scored by An Sheng face to face, which is very embarrassing.
Thunder fans all hope that Anson's slightly humiliating goal can make Kevin Durant wake up, let them get back to their state, and respond with an answer ball!
However, they were soon disappointed. Kevin Durant was replaced directly by Scott Brooks after just surrendering a strike again. Time to waste opportunity after opportunity.Then came Russell Westbrook. When he couldn't hit the basket, he started to shoot with his crazy three-pointers.
But as I said earlier, there is a very obvious characteristic of this kind of three-pointer with a nerve knife, that is, instability, not to mention one thing that can be seen from the previous performance today, this guy put his knife tonight Forgot at home.
Two consecutive three-pointers missed the Thunder, which had already fallen to the bottom, and continued to down.Now it's Chris Paul's turn to take advantage of the fire. He didn't choose to attack by himself but passed the ball to the high point after a pick-and-roll with Anthony Davis. All Thunder fans put their attention on On Anthony Davis.
The speed of this ball is very fast, far faster than the speed of Anthony Davis' downswing. This ball was not passed to Anthony Davis, but an empty cut was completed silently at the bottom line Anson!From the bottom line, he made a very fast run and directly got rid of Reggie Jackson who was staring at him. This has to be said to be the Thunder's sorrow for the lack of a substitute for the small forward position.
They rely too much on Kevin Durant at the small forward position. They don't even have a good backup small forward. Whenever Kevin Durant is off the court, they can only play a three-guard lineup. , and facing the Clippers, putting on a three-guard lineup is tantamount to courting death.
In contrast to the Clippers, there is no doubt that Jason Richardson's height and weight have swayed to the third position, and on the bench, Matt Barnes and Ryan Gomez, who came over this year, still have a lot to say about their playing time. Eyeing.
The Thunder fell behind by 18 points in the first half. If they want to quickly recover the point difference in the second half, they can only expect their small lineup to play a role.
"Kevin! Let's talk openly and honestly. I don't care if some of the comments on the Internet are true or not. I don't care if we can reach the finals. I don't want to know whether you will be in this season. Offer a trade, but right now we're playing for Oklahoma City, and we're playing for 60 fans who came to Ford Center. Our goal is to win. So, the second half you have to step up and get rid of It’s over.” The person who said this was Scott Brooks, the head coach of the Thunder is now speaking very earnestly, they are definitely a strong contender for the championship after winning 73 wins, even if they are about to win [-] The boat, they don't want to go down so early.
"Okay! What do you need me to do, I will definitely do my best!"
"Continue to the small lineup from the last game, no matter if it's Ann or not! You have to score!" Scott Brooks looked very serious. They can only rely on Kevin Durant's ability to win the game. play.
Fortunately, when he came on the field in the second half, Kevin Durant hit two mid-range shots in a row. I wonder if what Scott Brooks said to him played a role?Still, as the guy with the highest salary in the team, he should stand up and help the team at this time.
"Hey! The Clippers will play their own performance soon! They can play small ball better than this Thunder team!" During the timeout of the third quarter, Charles Barkley said to the team that now only led by 14 points. The Clippers are still swearing frankly. After all, in the last game, anyone who watched the game can see one very obvious thing, that is, playing small ball tactics, and the Thunder had no chance at all.
The Thunder also felt the same way. Although Kevin Durant scored two goals in a row, but because of the impression of the tragic game two days ago, they were not satisfied with Anson and Kevin Durant's level of small balls. There is a huge gap.
Brad Stevens didn't think about doing this at all. He removed Jordan. In everyone's mind, he would replace a third position, Matt Barnes or Ryan Goe. Max will play two people, but unexpectedly, the player who played is Chris Kaman, who didn't have many chances to play in the playoffs. His playing made others very strange, using Chris Kaman Kaman, does this have a chance to run with the Thunder?
The fans of the Thunder immediately became excited. There is no doubt that if the small-ball lineup and the Clippers face off, even if the point difference is almost the same, they will be frightened. The big lineup was directly shot to collapse by the small lineup, and the whole field ran to collapse, then the small lineup team was directly beaten to death by the big lineup in the penalty area.
But there is no doubt that now is an opportunity for the Thunder. The different lineup configuration makes them hope to narrow or even completely smooth the point difference. For them, this kind of opportunity is simply a chance given to them by God, and they absolutely cannot let it go Pass!This is the common thought of tens of thousands of Thunder fans on the field.
