Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1088 Thunder is waiting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

June 19, Oklahoma, Ford Center Arena.

The G3 game of the 11-12 NBA Finals is about to begin!

Returning to the home court has obviously made the Thunder youngsters relax a bit. During the pre-game warm-up, Durant was still in the mood to joke around with Westbrook. Harden, who had been grilled in the first two games, finally no longer frowned.

.

All this is thanks to the fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Even though Oklahoma City is only a small club with a population of several hundred thousand, the fanatical fans use their actual actions to give the Thunder the greatest support.

Even before the start of the finals, the Thunder's local fan organization began to plan a cheering plan for the finals. Whether it was slogans or posters, they had everything. Even passionate female fans wrote words on their hoods.

.

The local government also fully cooperated with the publicity. You should know that Oklahoma City has a small population, but fanatical fans still occupied the streets around the arena in the middle of the night.

From the perspective of the Knicks, this kind of fanaticism is really not very comfortable. Zuo Li probably has the most fans in every away game of other teams in the league. Every time he goes to any away game, he can always find supporters of Zuo Li.

However, this time, even Zuo Li will be wildly abused, not to mention other members of the Knicks. For example, Ewing Jr. was very arrogant on the sidelines during the game, and his portrait was unpredictable in the hands of Thunder fans.

, it looks like everything, but it doesn’t look like a human being...

And when everyone in the Knicks participated in the only public training before the game, everyone, including D'Antoni, had dark circles under their eyes.

There was no way around it, Thunder fans were so enthusiastic that firecrackers and fire alarms were going off at three or four in the middle of the night. This noise caused insomnia to a group of rough guys who could fall asleep with a pillow.

So when warming up before the start of the game, it is not difficult to find that the mental states of the two teams are not the same.

Compared with the Thunder players who are all in high spirits, the Knicks players are all in a state of shock.

Barkley also teased the Knicks about whether they had any close contact with a big white girl from Oklahoma City at night.

Pooh!

I don’t like it at all!

How can the Knicks, who are used to seeing the glamor and glamor of New York, like the country girls here in Oklahoma City? David Lee didn't even go out!

But the noise was really too loud.

Not only that, there was a fire alarm in the hotel in the middle of the night, causing many people to run naked into the lobby in the middle of the night.

Zuo Li was helpless. He was not in good condition today. Last night, after he came to Oklahoma City, he did an extra set of strength training and then watched the video for an hour. Just as he was about to go to bed, the firecrackers went off, and then the fire alarm went off again.

This series of events kept Zuo Li awake all night, and he slept for three hours at dawn.

Even though Zuo Li is an iron man and has a terrifying recovery ability, he still feels a little weak in his legs. At the same time, he curses the guy who caused trouble last night in his heart:

"I wish you all the seasoning packets when you eat instant noodles!"

Zuo Li was also drunk. After playing in the finals for four years, he thought he was used to it. Unexpectedly, the mountains were higher than the other. Oklahoma City fans really deserved their reputation.

Zuo Li glanced at the stands. Fans in blue clothes filled the entire auditorium.

emmmm……

Isn’t the Thunder’s home jersey white?

However, blue is indeed much prettier than white. It seems that the planning of this game still has some aesthetics in mind.

But Zuo Li didn't have time to appreciate it. The biggest problem he had to face now was his own condition. He had already given it a try, but at least his condition was not good during training.

It's not just him.

The surrounding teammates' condition has declined to some extent. Looking at the Thunder... everyone almost has "brother" written on their faces.

This is not good.

According to the schedule, the 3, 4, and 5 games of the Finals will be played here, so G3 becomes very important. I will not discuss other situations. I will just talk about the current situation. If the Knicks lead 2-0

If they can win G3, then they have basically won the finals. But if the Thunder win G3, then the 2-1 score is basically still alive. The Thunder can even use their home court advantage to equalize the score. In this way, Tianwangshan will even be in front of them.

Fighting on their own territory would be a great disadvantage to the Knicks.

Like last season, if Zuo Li hadn't stepped up to save the world, the Mavericks would have almost completed their counterattack.

Therefore, Zuo Li is unwilling to repeat the mistakes of last season. He will work hard to win G3 no matter what. Unfortunately, his condition today is a bit bad.

"It doesn't matter. You won't know until you play to see if your condition is good or not. I won't believe it. I can't handle the talented monsters like Thunder!"

Zuo Li punched his chest hard twice, forced himself to turn on his phone, and then walked onto the court to jump the ball.

As a result, he didn't jump a bit in the first shot. Fortunately, the person fighting him for the ball was not the jumping man Ibaka, but Perkins, who had aging knees and couldn't jump well. Otherwise, Zuo Li's jumping ball might have overturned.

However, Zuo Li disguised himself very well and the Thunder did not see any problem. Zuo Li did not attack on his own in the first round. He held the ball from the top of the arc and hit it to Randolph. The latter blocked Perkins inside but failed to move, and the score was

To Danny Green in the right corner, who opened the game for the Knicks with a three-pointer from the corner.

The Thunder still looked for Durant in the first attack. It can be seen that Adubi has become more confident in Madison Square Garden after returning to the home court. He is more comfortable dribbling and passing people. Madison Square Garden is the holy land of basketball.

, everyone hopes to make a career there, but playing in this kind of venue is also extremely stressful, especially in the past two years.

So Adu's main goal when he returned to the home court was a confident and elegant three-pointer, which directly tied the game.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Thunder fans were very considerate and started shouting MVP after this ball.

The effect is also outstanding, and Durant is obviously more excited.

In the next round, Adu actually cut the ball from Curry's hand and assisted Westbrook for a fast break dunk.

Westbrook's roar and flexing of muscles begins again!

This is the advantage of a young team. It is extremely easy to be mobilized. The more they play, the more excited they become, and the more excited they are, the better they play.

The Mavericks, Lakers, and Spurs were all teams with three veteran players, and this was how they were overturned by the Thunder.

The Knicks obviously have to face these difficulties tonight, but the Knicks are calm enough and Curry responded with a fake shot.

They played like this for 6 minutes, and the two sides entered an official timeout at 14-14.

After the timeout, Harden came on the stage, and the Thunder suddenly began to increase intensity. The whole court pressed and marked people, and the pressure on the line increased the delay. Everyone in the Knicks felt the pressure, and the ball began to inevitably concentrate in the hands of the left winger.

Zuo Li also responded with a breakthrough layup. Although the ball did not go in, he was alert and hit the second tip-in.

"Oh, it has to be Zuo Li. This ball went in after a one-on-two, and even got an offensive rebound. This is the reason why the Knicks can win two games in a row." Yu Jia praised.

However, after this goal, Zuo Li did not score a goal in a sports match for 4 minutes!

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed 23-30.

Zuo Li made 3 of 8 shots and 3 of 4 free throws in the first quarter, scoring only 9 points!

The commentator exclaimed: "The Thunder may have waited for their best chance!"
