Super Role Player

At the end of the first quarter, Charles Barker said in a pitiful tone: "Poor Thunder, Anxi's state is so good that it explodes. It's just defense."

Kenny Smith also said: "At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs have a huge lead of 3920 and 19 points. The Thunder may have to think about where they have a problem. In my opinion, Scott Brooks should not replace Kevin. Durant, even if he doesn't make a single shot."

"Kenny is right. Maybe Scott Brooks hasn't realized that Kevin Durant's inability to score is not because of his poor touch, but because Anxi's defense is too strong."

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith raged at Scott Brooks. In the first quarter of the game, Scott Brooks' adjustment was indeed a disaster level. Fortunately, Scott Brooks reacted in the second quarter. All together.

Facing three perimeter All-Star attackers, Anxi alone couldn't guard against so many of them.

As a result, the game returned to the rhythm of the Spurs scoring and the Thunder chasing points. Relying on the performance of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder barely had no one to continue to expand the point difference. Instead, they passed a wave in the middle of the second quarter. Little **, narrowed the point difference to 15 points.

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs still firmly controlled the point difference, and the 15-point advantage has been maintained. For the Thunder, if they want to chase points, Kevin Durant must open up the scoring point, because Kevin Durant is the leader. The Thunder's strongest scoring point, but now this scoring point is tightly locked by Anxi, there is no chance at all. In more than two quarters, Kevin Durant made 3 of 11 shots and only scored 8 points.

In the second half of the third quarter, a sudden change occurred, and the Spurs began to speed up the offensive rhythm under the guidance of Vicki. Tony Parker cut in as soon as he reached the frontcourt, rushed to the inside line and made a layup.

Then turned around to defend Russell Westbrook's strong shot, Tim Duncan grabbed the rebound, and then launched a fast break. Anxi rushed to the frontcourt to catch the ball and complete the dunk. More than 20 points.

Scott Brooks was forced to call a timeout again. For the Thunder, the best result of this battle is to win. If it cannot be won, it is acceptable, but if it is a disastrous defeat, it cannot be done anyway. Accepted.

Adjustment! Scott Brooks roared in the coach's bench, and then encouraged his own players with a passionate tone.

The game restarted, and the Spurs continued to use the main force. The 20-point difference was far from enough for the Spurs. According to Vicki's vision, he had to determine the victory of the game before the end of the third quarter.

After returning to the field, Thunder's offensive became more fierce and resolute.

Russell Westbrook held the ball and rushed to the inside resolutely. It was a desperate gesture. After rushing to the inside, he actually faced Tim Duncan's block and went straight to the basket!

Beep beep! The referee whistles, the ball goes in! Additional penalty!

There was a burst of cheers from the Thunder's bench, which was naturally matched by boos from the entire p;p;p;p; arena, the boos were loud.

Russell Westbrook was in a state of excitement, he kept pumping his fists down, roaring excitedly, and stood on the free throw line amidst boos.

Russell Westbrook scored 21 on a free throw.

The Thunder returned to the defense quickly. It seemed that after being inspired by Scott Brooks, they all started desperately. Squeezed here and there, and finally fell to the floor.

The referee's whistle sounded again, the Thunder fouled, Tony Parker walked to the free throw line, made one of two free throws, and the score was close to one point by the Thunder.

It was the Thunder's offense again, this time it was James Harden who made the breakthrough, rushed to the inside, James Harden threw the basketball in an extremely weird posture, the referee blew his whistle again, and fouled again!

Manu Ginobili touched James Harden's arm, but after the referee whistled, Manu Ginobili jumped up and began to complain about the referee's whistle.

Because just now, the referee started to miss the whistle. When the Spurs attacked, the Thunder made a big move, but the referee was indifferent. Now that the Thunder attacked, James Harden found a whistle, and the referee actually blew it. No, as an experienced veteran in the league, Manu Ginobili must stand up and put pressure on the referee, otherwise, if this continues, the game will be ruined by the referee sooner or later.

The referee warned Manu Ginobili, and Manu gave up as soon as he saw it, and stopped complaining about the penalty.

And Vivić also took advantage of this free throw opportunity to make another substitution, replacing Tim Duncan with Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker with Danny Green, and Boris Dior with DeJuan Blair. A small lineup was set up on the court, and all three of the Spurs' three single-defense champions were present. Looking at the situation, they wanted to fight against the Thunder and rely on personal defense to limit the Thunder's offense.

Manu Ginobili's complaints are still effective. The Spurs' offense and the Thunder's defensive actions are much smaller. It seems that they are afraid of the referee's call. Don't dare to go too far.

In the offensive round of the Thunder, after the Spurs switched to a small lineup, they switched defenses more quickly. Except for Anxi's dead defense against Kevin Durant, everyone else would perform a lot of defenses. Russell Westbrook held the ball Breakthrough, rushing to the inside line for a layup, but was blocked by DeJuan Blair!

As a result, the Thunder, which had just improved through foul-making tactics, turned off again.

Russell Westbrook's offensive failure proved that hard work alone is not enough to win the game.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led by 26 points and entered the fourth quarter.

**Vich withdrew all the main players with a smile. In the fourth quarter, the Spurs’ lineup became point guard Patrick Mills, shooting guard Gary Neal, small forward Danny Green, power forward DeJuan Blair And center Thiago Splitter.

And Scott Brooks has been hesitating, should he let the main players continue to play and fight for this victory?

In the end, Scott Brooks still chose to give up. After the third quarter, the Thunder fell behind by 26 points. If the main players continue to fight in the fourth quarter, even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. The physical fitness of the main players It will be exhausted. Looking back at the Spurs, the main players have long been talking and laughing on the bench. So when they return to the home game, do the Thunder still want to win?

Scott Brooks thinks it is acceptable to lose two away games in a row, but if he loses the next home game because of this away game, it is not worthwhile, not to mention that even if the Thunder sends all the main players, will they be able to win? Scott Brooks wouldn't bet on it.

So, in the fourth quarter, the Thunder put on all substitutes and announced that they would give up the game. To be continued. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
