Build a Dream Dynasty

Curry's three-point shooting rate in this game is very high. He hit 6 three-pointers in the first half alone, tying the record of 6 three-pointers in the half set by Jordan and Ray Allen in the finals. The Thunder's shooting data when they strictly guarded against him. His precise guidance on the perimeter has greatly damaged the Thunder's perimeter, forcing the Thunder to expand their defensive range. In terms of internal strength, the Nets already have some advantages. After the space was opened, Lopez's attack on the inside of the Thunder became more and more smooth.

Ibaka's ability to assist in defense is really good. He came into contact with basketball very late, relying on his athletic ability and precise mid-range, he got the Thunder's offer of an average salary of 12 million, which seems to be really humane. The ingredients are in it, but in fact, it seems that when Lopez remains healthy, comparing the contracts of the two, Lopez and Ibaka can be regarded as worth every penny. When the bayonet is red, an inside output point is much more useful than an inside that can only rely on teammates' points and shots to score.

This is also an important reason why Jiang Mingliang doesn't care much about the "magic ball" theory. Players with a basic salary may have buried pearls, but players who have always received a basic salary definitely have fatal flaws. All hope is placed on the team building idea of ​​giants + basic salary players. The result is that basic salary players are abused by "middle-class players" in the playoffs, and giant players can't carry them no matter how they carry.

For this Thunder team, the biggest regret is letting go of Harden. Even if it seems that the current Holiday is more suitable for the Thunder's two young players, although the Thunder's draft perspective, the 76ers' three draft picks may have great potential, but in the face of absolute strength, what is the suitability? Even if Harden was replaced last season, if he is still in the team, Durant and Westbrook would not be so tired. Even, the Thunder may have solved the Nets in 5 games. But now, they had to go into the second half with an 11-point deficit.

The second half began quickly, with both teams returning to their starting lineups at the start of the game.

The Nets, who were the first to attack, once again had a backhand layup from Fernandez who made an air cut from Curry and scored two more points, widening the gap to 13 points.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack, and Leonard stood in front of Durant to defend. In the first half, Leonard's defense against Durant was the most successful in the past four games. Thanks to Durant's physical condition.

Durant glanced at Leonard, made two quick swaying movements, and used his super-large change of direction to break through the opponent, but as soon as he broke through, he immediately took a step back, because Chasing Dream Green was already standing in front of him. Almost subconsciously, Durant felt the threat, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly made a hand-over dribble. Just when the ball in his hand was handed over from his right hand to his left hand, Leonard's hand appeared , Durant took advantage of the opportunity to make a back turn, halfway through the action, he flicked the ball with his right hand, and the ball was accurately passed to Ibaka who ran to the open space, jumped up and shot, and hit the basket accurately.

This is actually a true portrayal of the Thunder's offense throughout the game. Every time the team scores, either two people finish the game directly, or they initiate it. Among them, Westbrook still has some bomb attributes and can Only Durant can absolutely guarantee a stable score.

The offense of the Nets is still dominated by Curry, but this round of offense, the team's tactical movement did not play out, Curry searched for a while, but did not find a good opportunity, and taught the ball to the forward to ask for the ball of Fernandez. Facing Westbrook, the latter at least has a height advantage. Fernandez dribbled and shot after receiving the ball, but the ball failed to make a shot under Westbrook's interference. Durant struggled to grab the rebound and then launched a fast break.

Westbrook had already started running forward when Durant was grabbing a rebound, and Fernandez and Curry were running at the same time as him!

Sure enough, as expected by Westbrook, the first time Durant grabbed the rebound was to find him. He has a strong ability to run and catch the ball in a large space. Feet, forced to skip Fernandez's early foul, followed by a burst dunk.

However, although Westbrook's dunk has a kind of domineering "strengthening the mountain and surpassing the world", there are really not many tricks. Basically, there are two kinds of one-handed and two-handed splits.

This slam dunk also greatly increased the momentum of the Thunder team. Next, the Thunder team defended three consecutive offenses from the Nets, and when their own team was attacking, Durant scored a three-pointer and Westbrook forced the attack. The basket narrowed the point difference, forcing Stevens to call a timeout helplessly.

However, the enthusiasm ignited by the Thunder players is not so easy to extinguish. Especially in this team, there is a kind of "worship" for Durant and Westbrook. When these two people continue to perform well, the morale of the entire team will rise to a very high level. level. Although Curry continued his excellent outside touch in the third quarter and sent two three-pointers again, the Nets' lead was only 2 points left.

Durant's outstanding performance in this quarter is the key to the Thunder team's overtake. Without his sudden inside and outside shots, and his frequent delivery of points, the Thunder team would definitely not be in the current situation. Sitting on the sidelines, with a white towel on his head, Durant was gulping down Gatorade, hoping to replenish the energy he had lost as soon as possible. As long as he can't hold on, he will step down first. Then this game can only be declared over in advance.

The fourth quarter started soon. opening. Durant's shot was short, and his physical strength still had some problems. When shooting, his wrist was not as flexible as before. Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and immediately handed it to Curry. The latter took the ball and ran a few steps. A sudden shot from one step outside the point line, Westbrook, who was "misplaced" defending, was completely unprepared. In this way, Curry hit his ninth three-pointer of the game. The fans at the scene suddenly fell into a frenzy, and most of them didn't notice it. With this three-pointer, Curry broke the finals record of 8 three-pointers in a single game! Became the owner of the single-game three-point record in the finals history!

The previous record holder was also on the court, and it was Curry's backcourt partner at this time, Ray Allen. He hit 8 three-pointers in a single game in the 2011 Finals, which was impressive.

Although it is a milestone moment, at this stage, it is difficult for Stevens to call a timeout to celebrate such a record. A high-five between Curry and Ray Allen may represent a great inheritance between the best shooters in NBA history.

Seeing his own record being broken by his teammates with his own eyes did not touch Ray Allen much. Perhaps after joining the Nets, Ray Allen had expected that the record he created outside the three-point line would one day be broken one by one by the thin point guard around him, and there would be no one left!
