Build a Dream Dynasty

The advantage accumulated in the first quarter made Brooks dare to replace Westbrook and Durant for a while to rest. He hoped that Jeremy Lin and Holiday would help support the situation. However, Westbrook's vacancy may still be filled. But the significance of Durant is not only an unsolvable scoring weapon, but also in addition to Perkins and Ibaka, he also plays the role of the Thunder's first rotation player inside. As soon as he was on the court, he could only play Collison. Good guy, even in front of the Nets' rotation, Collison couldn't stand it.

After a two-minute break, the lead was recovered by 5 points. However, Durant's effect was immediate. As soon as he played, the Thunder's defensive formation became much more stable. It's not how good Durant's defense is. In fact, because he takes on the task of the team's first main attack every day, Durant doesn't spend much on the defensive end. That is, when he comes to the finals stage, he focuses on The speed has improved a lot, plus Durant's physical talent, if you put your mind to it, it won't be bad. But the reason why the effect is so obvious is because the veteran Collison's defense is really bad. If the Heat's veteran Haslem still has his skills, but he is not suitable for the current Heat, then Collison really can't adapt to this level of strong dialogue at all.

A minute later, the Nets replaced Curry again. After the lesson of the previous round, Stevens gave up the idea of ​​reusing Reggie Jackson to interfere with Westbrook. Doing this deliberately, how to put it, it’s hard to say how much interference the reuse of this point guard will have on Westbrook, but the offensive end will really make his teammates more tired. Too reliable and has a great impact on the Nets' offense.

It doesn't matter if Westbrook scores a goal, and he is not afraid to attack the Nets!

In fact, the Nets still have another way of thinking to limit the Thunder, which is to let Barnes top the position of power forward, make use of the overall mobility of the lineup and Perkins' offensive incompetence to make a fuss. Another advantage of the team is that the team's outside offense will also be released. However, Schneider's proposal was rejected by Stevens. The reason is simple. The Nets have changed into one big and four small ones, and the Thunder can do the same. In this way, the Thunder's lineup is not thick enough, especially the weakness of not having suitable substitutes inside. increased and covered up. Stevens believes that Westbrook may be an iron man, and Durant may be a superman, but it is impossible for the entire Thunder team to last for more than 40 minutes without falling. Small, to give the other party an opportunity, that is a coquettish operation that uses one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths!

The game continued, and Curry and Ray Allen hit three-pointers one after another. On the stage of the finals, facing Westbrook, who was relatively average off the ball, Ray Allen got more opportunities to demonstrate his value as a veteran. His running position, his use of pick-and-rollers, and the changes in step points are all at the textbook level. In terms of single-player, Ray Allen at his peak is not as violent as Westbrook, but basketball has never been just one-on-one. The heads-up match is also a mental exercise.

The outside shooter alliance is not only able to hit three-pointers, but the offensive environment created by the two also makes it easier for teammates to score. Leonard's proud defense was riddled with holes in front of Durant. Fortunately, thanks to the offensive space created by Curry and Ray Allen, he performed surprisingly well on the offensive end.

In the confrontation, the Nets slowly caught up to the score and overtook the score, which was a bit surprising. Durant's silence on the offensive end in the second quarter is an important reason. In this game, Durant "only" scored 6 points. Most of the time, it was Westbrook who charged with the explosives. Under the chasing and interception, the efficiency is definitely not as good as the Nets' various three-pointers and passes and cuts.

At 63:58, at the end of halftime, the Nets led by 5 points. For the team, this is a comfortable situation.

However, in the locker room at the end of halftime, Stevens still reminded everyone not to be careless in the slightest. To be honest, a victory can bring the balance of victory that was already leaning towards the Thunder back to a balanced position, but no matter what , Now the Nets are at a disadvantage. Even if the game has a slight upper hand, the team can't be careless in the slightest!

In the second half of the game, the style of painting changed suddenly. The Thunder put more energy on the defensive end. Maybe they knew who would be the first to be unable to hold on to the attack. Even Westbrook stopped pushing fast breaks casually. Except for Westbrook, no one else in the Thunder team did any fighting, and they all returned to defense immediately.

This rhythm is more beneficial to the Nets. After all, the Nets have a stronger lineup and more tactical changes. Durant is on the top of Leonard, chasing Dream Green, and Lopez defends. Under the triple pressure, the efficiency value will inevitably decline.

Seeing that the score was almost pulled to double digits by the Nets, Westbrook suddenly found his touch and made three consecutive shots in the offense, one of which was a body hair-level 3+1 hit, an 8:2 attack wave After that, the point difference returned to 5 points.

Shaking his head, Jiang Mingliang had nothing to say. To be honest, after getting Curry, Jiang Mingliang didn't take Westbrook seriously. But I have to admit that Westbrook's presence in the game is indeed very strong. If you really don't regard him as a superstar, he can really slap your face!

At the end of the third quarter, the Nets replaced Curry and Lopez to buy time for them to rest. However, in the last minute of the third quarter, Durant led the team to a 6:0 spurt , leading the team to overtake the score by 1 point.

The fans at the scene burst into ecstasy, but including the commentator at the scene, they were not optimistic about the prospects of the Thunder.

To put it simply, physical strength!

In the last game, the combined game time of Durant and Westbrook exceeded 90 minutes. In the first three quarters of this game, the rest time of the two did not exceed 3 minutes, and both of them were offensive and defensive. Is it really okay to use it like this?

A big difference between this game and the previous game is that there are two days between G2 and G3, and the Thunder's physical recovery will be slightly more, but there is only one day of rest between G3 and G4. Adjustment, can you really do it with ease?

Barkley and Kenny Smith only mentioned Westbrook and Durant, but the real statistics are that Ibaka played 39 minutes in the last game and 29 minutes in this game so far. Perkins played 38 minutes in the last game and 29 minutes in this game so far. Holiday played 39 minutes in the last game and 31 minutes in this game. On the bench, only Jeremy Lin and Simmons can get more than 5 minutes of playing time, and the others can only be reduced to spectators.

I don't believe you can stand it all the time!
