Chapter 707 707. The Thunder is Over
The Warriors didn't put the Thunder in the same position at the beginning, and when the team was caught off guard, they lost their mentality for a while, and there was an incident where Randall kicked Adams in the crotch and almost caused a fight.
This incident caused the Warriors' morale to collapse when they wanted to regain home court advantage in the second away game. Because Randall was so angry that he was defended by the Thunder's iron barrel, he gave Brother Adams a kick. Unreasonable things, no matter where they are, unreasonable things are untenable, so the Warriors were beaten 133 to 105 by the furious Thunder in the last game, which is simply miserable.
But in the desperate situation, they adjusted their mentality instead.
Great shooters are born with a calm personality, whether it is Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson, they all have the nature of calm at critical moments, otherwise they would not be great shooters.
People can say that the "Splash Brothers" still lack the domineering spirit of Jordan, Kobe or James, but their calmness in life and death is definitely not inferior to superstars.
The two of them are very calm, and even Randall, who is the most irritable in the Warriors, has become calm and stopped committing crimes, avoiding technical fouls and malicious fouls, otherwise it will hurt the team.
Today, the Warriors showed a completely different overall feeling.
They have the most powerful backcourt guns in the league, but the Warriors don't completely rely on the "Splash" brothers to win. The Warriors dare to send marginal substitutes to win the rest time for the main players, and this is just a microcosm.
At the juncture of life and death, the Warriors trust each other. They played team basketball and fully tapped the energy of role players.
The substitute was originally a magic weapon for the Warriors to defeat the enemy, but in the first 4 games, they did not tap the energy of the substitute, or their substitute did not perform well.
Some teams, in this case, will be more afraid to use substitutes, reduce rotation players, and extend the playing time of the main players.The Warriors didn't do this. They gave the trust of the backup points in the last game of going fishing after losing the last stand. In this game, the Warriors scored 30 points from the bench.
On the other hand, the Thunder chose to play conservatively in the 3-1 situation, and sent a seven-man rotation. Westbrook and Durant played almost the entire game.
And Durant is notoriously weak in physical fitness. By the time of the last quarter, Durant couldn't move anymore. Without Durant's restraint, Westbrook started to hit the iron continuously. It is said that Kobe is iron, Westbrook has proved with practical actions what real iron is, and there is one more favorable candidate for the league's No. [-] Kobe.
At this time, I have to talk about the Warriors' defense. They averaged 117 points per game this season, ranking first in the league, which is 114 points higher than the Lakers' average of 3 points per game, so people think they are an offensive team.
In fact, the Warriors' defensive efficiency ranks sixth in the league. Only the Lakers, Spurs, Grizzlies, Celtics, and Bulls have higher defensive efficiency than them.
It's just because the Warriors' offense is so eye-catching that their defense is often ignored by people.
It may also be because the offense is so good, they think they can overthrow the Thunder by attacking, because they swept the Thunder 3-0 in the regular season, and they were all big victories, so the Warriors' defense in the first four games was a disaster.
Now behind 1 to 3, the Warriors regained their defensive weapons and contained the Thunder's offense, which became another key factor for the Warriors to turn defeat into victory.
There has long been a saying in the NBA that offense wins box office and defense wins championships.
The Warriors regained their defense in Game 18, which was on the brink of elimination. In the fourth quarter, after Durant was tired, the Thunder began to be unable to compete with the Warriors' continuous offensive firepower and always carrying Angry and bloody defense, the Warriors once played a wave of 4 to 15 in the fourth quarter, directly opening the stalemate to more than [-] points.
118 to 110, the Warriors continued strongly in the fifth game!And it is like being reborn from the ashes to continue life!
……
"Oh... Thunder and Thunder are over." Liu Ren let out a soft cry, pursed his lips, and said regretfully.
"Really? No way!" Green was a little surprised, "The Thunder are still leading by one game, and they will advance after winning one game in the remaining two games. They may not give the Warriors another chance when they return home. To be honest, I would rather play the Thunder, the Warriors are too difficult to deal with."
"The Thunder is hopeless. Stephen and the others have found a way to deal with the Thunder, and it's very simple. They can play a normal level on both ends of the offense and defense, and they can scare the head coach of the Thunder from replacing Durant and Westbrook. , Westbrook is okay, Durant is so thin, his physical fitness is a disaster." Liu Ren is not surprised by Green's opinion, because the Thunder are indeed ahead by a big score, but the strength gap between the two teams is too big. So serious at the beginning, it is possible to sweep the Thunder directly. The Thunder only have doubles and minors, and the Warriors are very strong from the starting lineup to the bench.
"Yes, Durant is not very suitable to be the team's first scorer, but he must take this responsibility in the Thunder, and even if Westbrook wants to grab the position, the Thunder management must insist on Durant being the No. 1 pick, otherwise this is disrespect to the top three players in the league." Kobe saw it clearly, "Okay, let's go back to Los Angeles."
"Huh? Shall we go to Oklahoma for a vacation together?" Liu Ren still wants to go to Goose Village. Still willing to go to Goose Village to play.
"You have already confirmed that our next opponent is the Warriors! Go back, didn't you see that Mike and Bernie have started to study how to deal with the Warriors!" Kobe said and left.
"NO! So we have to start training again? God!" Nick Yang, who had been accosting the beautiful woman next to him, wailed instantly...
……
……
Three days later, everything was as Liu Ren, Kobe and the Lakers coaching staff thought. The Warriors, who had regained focus and regarded the Thunder as an equal opponent, still knocked the Thunder to the ground in the away game in Oklahoma and dragged the game into the tiebreaker. .
这时候已经没有人还认为雷霆队有机会击败勇士了，从3比1被打到3比3平，这种溃败比直接被3比0来得还要让人难堪。
At this time, the other three rounds of the series have already been decided. The Cavaliers eliminated the Celtics 4-2 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with blood and tears. I also protect myself from getting hurt, but I didn't play as badly as last season. The Celtics worked hard, but in the end the Cavaliers are indeed dominant in the Eastern Conference.
If you want to say why the eastern stars have gathered to go west these years, you have to blame James. His dominance is too strong. Any team in the eastern part who is not a bad team will have a chance to enter the finals if they get James. In the past five years James has swept every finals in the East, forcing those stars to have no way out, and they can only flee to the West.
Although the West now has the Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and Thunder, they play in the finals in turn. The Thunder, Lakers, and Spurs have all played in the past few years. Unlike the East, except James is still James.
The Knicks also defeated the 4ers 2-76. After all, only a team with a better system and a deeper lineup can gain an advantage in a series. It is only reasonable for the Knicks to eliminate the 76ers. things in.
The Little Assassin is regarded as the answer of the new generation. Some people even expect the Little Assassin to lead the 76ers back to the Finals and the Lakers for a sequel to the showdown between the Answer and the Flash, which is the duel between the Little Assassin and the boss. But in the second This anticipation came to an end.
And this made the little assassin also cast a curtain called "sorrow". His average data of 34 points and 6 assists per game is like the real answer. The same as going far.
Before, there was only one team, the Lakers, waiting for the Warriors and Thunder to decide the outcome, but now it has become three teams waiting together.
And whether it's the Lakers, the Cavaliers or the Knicks, they are all extremely unhappy with the Thunder.
The psychological os of Liu Ren, James, and Anthony are all: You two can't live up to your expectations!Can't you kill the warriors quickly...
