Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 435 Headwind

Unlike other rounds of the playoffs, the finals schedule adopts a 2-3-2 model, and the team with home court advantage will face a wave of three-game losing streak. To a certain extent, this competition system slightly balances the difficulty of the schedule of the two participating parties, but it also makes it impossible for any party to bear the embarrassment of losing the home game. If the side with the home field advantage loses any of the home games in the first two games, it is very likely to be taken away by the opponent in a three-game away game. However, if a team with three consecutive games at home has a mistake, as long as they lose one game in the last two games, they will give up the championship. The Nets made the first mistake in the finals and missed at home. It can be said that the team has arrived Very critical moment.

The Thunder team lost G2 last season, and then suffered a huge loss. They were won by the Heat three times in a row at home, but they failed to return to Goose City. At that moment, at this very moment. The Heat failed in the finals in 2011, but they made up for their regrets in 2012, while the Thunder paid the price for their youth in 2012. Now with the less experienced Nets, they hope to make up for the regrets of last season.

After G1, all the praise surrounding Curry, Stevens, and Jiang Mingliang came to Brooks and Durant at this moment. Especially Durant, G2's god-like performance made the invincible Nets lose their first home game in the playoffs at home, and also won a huge advantage for the team. It seems that he is about to cast his own legend in the Thunder.

Jiang Mingliang didn't say anything at this time. Before Jerry West reminded him, he had already made a decision to leave everything to Stevens, to Curry, and to the team to solve it themselves. At this time, what the management wants is to delegate power, and avoid doing things that laymen direct insiders.

. . . . . .

The third game between the two sides was held at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Thunder fans packed the arena to the brim. When they entered the court, the Nets players felt a little dazzled, and the place turned into a blue ocean.

Thunder, Jazz, Warriors, the home courts of these three teams can be called the stadium with the best home atmosphere in the league. When the fans got excited, the momentum was amazing, even the Celtics were slightly behind. As for big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, although the football market is good, the fans' ability to "make things happen" is obviously not as good as them.

After warming up, players from both sides played, and the Nets made adjustments to the lineup. Chasing Dream Green replaced West in the starting power forward position. This is not dissatisfaction with West's performance in the past two games, but purely a tactical requirement. The team needs to strengthen the scoring ability of the bench lineup.

The explanation is this: for the sake of victory and the championship, West also accepted the decision of the head coach, but deep down, he still felt a little emotional. After Green played, his importance in the Nets continued to decline.

Lopez won the ball for the Nets, the Nets attacked, Curry slowly led the half court, and passed to Green who pulled the outside to receive the ball.

Curry and Fernandez were outside the three-point line on the left, Leonard went to the bottom corner on the right, O'Neal Lopez Jr. was 70 degrees on the right, and the formation was completely stretched. Green held the ball well in the middle, and Ibaka gave up two steps of defense, allowing Green to have sufficient space to observe his teammates' running positions.

Curry stood on the baseline for a while, ran up the line at full speed to catch the ball, and Lopez suddenly appeared to block Holiday. Perkins failed to switch defenses in time, and Curry caught the ball and shot a jumper, hitting the net with a three-pointer. Winning or losing is good, at least through this season's playoffs, any doubts surrounding Curry disappeared, and the single-core team led the team to the finals. Curry's superstar quality is very good.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook passed to Holiday, and the latter passed the ball to Durant, who was demanding in the low post. The latter relied on Leonard to take the ball and dribbled it, forced a turn to the baseline, and took a fadeaway jumper Score, continue to wave the scythe of death in your hand.

Durant's talent is simply abnormal, with strong explosive power, fast speed, soft touch, and strong core strength. Leonard is already a top defender, but he still suffers frequently against him.

Facing Holiday's defense, Curry caught the ball and swayed, and the breakthrough with the ball attracted Ibaka to move laterally. After taking two steps, he hit the ground and passed the ball to the right 45 degrees. Green cut to the basket with both hands. Dunk.

According to teacher Zhang Lili's comments, Curry, who is famous for shooting three-pointers with XJ8, is playing reasonable basketball at the moment, and Durant's continuous singles opposite him should be described as "unreasonable". The teammates of the Nets have gained a lot under Curry's mobilization, and the Thunder basically have three people to attack and five people to defend. To say that the Thunder have changed in this game, Durant and Westbrook let Holiday take on some offensive tasks, which is a small change, but it is this adjustment that makes the Nets quite a headache , because of Holiday's offensive ability, it's really not bad.

Durant, whose scoring pressure has weakened, puts more energy into the defensive end. Durant is a very calm player. Take this championship! In addition to giving a tough counterattack on the offensive end, blocking the Nets' offense is equally important.

For this reason, Durant resolutely took the position of power forward during the rotation time when Perkins rested, and went to compete with West, who was full of blood. Even when the team created a fast break opportunity, Durant stayed in the backcourt, watched Westbrook and Simmons complete the dunk dunk that should belong to them, and then blocked the Nets' next attack in time. The fast break in the transition period. . . . . .

Even if Jiang Mingliang is a reborn, watching the game from the sidelines, Durant is really a very, very selfless superstar. In order to win, he can make a lot of sacrifices.

There are not many such superstars, and Curry in the Nets is another one!

Stevens increased Curry's appearance time by an appropriate amount, but still did not follow the practice of Brooks' dead grass superstar. He replaced Curry in the 11th minute of the first quarter, and then played in the next 2 minutes. , The Thunder played an 8:2 attack wave, widening the point difference to 9 points.

The home fans cheered one after another. Goose City, a small city, dedicated all their enthusiasm and love to the Thunder team. This is also the happiness of the small city team.

A more high-quality defender at the wing position, from the perspective of continuing to compete for the championship in the future, the reinforcement of this kind of player is very important for the Nets, but after much deliberation, if it is used to deal with Durant, the candidate also needs to be selected. Just George, Tony Allen, and at most Iguodala. What? Train newcomers? The rookie is not a leek, it doesn't mean that after cutting one crop after another, besides, how can the rookie who can defend against Durant come out of training?
