The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 161 Bottom Rebound (9900 word chapter)
On April 4, with the end of the game between the Thunder and the Spurs, the results of the first round of G21 of each team's playoffs were also settled.

All the teams in the upper half of the east and west have successfully defended their home courts. Except for the game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets, the other teams that played at home easily defeated their opponents.

On April 4th, G20 between the Mavericks and the Nuggets reached a fever pitch. The two teams rotated all 2 players and frequently got into hand-to-hand combat on the field. Carmelo Anthony and Dirk Nowitzki even more Shots, for a long time, both sides were free throw shootouts.

But the Mavericks, who were playing at home, still struggled to defend their home court. Relying on Nowitzki's performance of 28 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, they finally defeated their opponents 98 to 92 with difficulty.

It's just that after the game, Carlisle's head coach was very dissatisfied with the whistleblowing of the game, and even fired frequently at the press conference:
"It's hard for me to imagine that this is playing at the American Airlines Arena. This is our home court, but Carmelo Anthony scored 15 free throws alone in this game. The inconsistent scale of the two sides almost caused us to lose the game. In the game, the league should pay attention to the referee's problem!"

As soon as Carlisle's head coach said these words, the media of Amerika were overjoyed, and finally came the news again!
Since the evening of the 20th, media reporters and ball critics have been discussing the referee's whistleblowing issue vigorously. Even the Thunder's victory over the Spurs again failed to change this hot topic.

After all, everyone has already agreed that the Thunder is an excellent team, and there is no point in winning.
After G2 ended, the media in Oklahoma City reveled wildly, and San Antonio's team reporters also began to join the hot topic of referees' penalty scale. They once again complained that Durant made too many free throws.

The Celestial Dynasty on the other side of the ocean did not have these messy things. After the game was over, everyone praised Li Ze wildly.

In the CCTV studio, host Yang Jian and guest Yang Yi were all smiling. The Thunder won and Li Ze played well. Everyone was very satisfied with the script.

"You guessed it right. With 110 points, the Thunder won the game. Li Ze still played very well. He made 13 of 9 shots, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 5 free throws, 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Mistakes, the efficiency is too high!"

"Yang Yi, let's make another prediction. The Thunder will go to San Antonio for two consecutive away games. Do you think the Thunder can directly sweep the Spurs?"

The host Yang Jian raised the question again.

"I think it is quite difficult to sweep the Spurs. After all, playing at home has a great bonus to the team. The atmosphere of the scene, the referee's whistle-blowing scale, and the emotions of the players will all affect the trend of the game."

"And the Spurs' defensive strategy has changed. After Li Ze made three consecutive 2-pointers in the second quarter, Popovich was furious instantly. After that, the Spurs' defense directly stuck to Li Ze outside the three-point line. .”

"You're right. I remember that Popovich also replaced Roger Mason. He didn't do anything on the court, but stalked Li Ze, but he played for about 6 minutes and fouled too much. , the defensive effect was not good, and I didn’t play again after that.”

After the host Yang Jian heard Yang Yi's words, he also interjected. After all, the adjustment of the Spurs impressed him deeply.

"So, after the Spurs return home, they will definitely make adjustments. George Hill's playing time will definitely be reduced, and his defensive strategy will also change. One more thing, the home whistle will definitely dominate. This is also the time to test Durant. .”

"And the time is actually not very friendly to the Thunder. America has a day off on the 22nd local time, and the game will start on the night of the 23rd. There is actually very little time left for them to rest and adjust. I personally predict that this round of the series should have Tianwangshan, the Thunder advanced 4-2."

Yang Yi was not afraid of being slapped in the face, and he directly gave the exact result. He also planned to go back and write two articles, blowing about Li Ze and rubbing against this hot topic.

"Thank you Yang Yi for your prediction. Let's wait and see. Here is a preview for everyone. On Saturday, the 24th, CCTV will continue to broadcast the game between the Thunder and the Spurs in Game 3!"

After watching this game, many fans naturally want to go to Hupu to brag about Li Ze, especially the fans of the Suns. They have been extremely active these days, and they are getting revenge!

"It's so cool! I really hope that the Thunder will sweep the Spurs. I have already said that without those off-the-box moves, the Spurs are nothing."

"It turns out that Bowen and Horry are the real thighs of the Spurs. Popovich is dying, and he even let George Hill start!"

"The Spurs wanted to repeat the old trick and let Roger Mason go up to make troubles, but Li Ze easily taught him to be a man with a back-up single. In less than 6 minutes, he fouled 3 times. I laughed so hard!"

"At this moment, I just want to say that Li Ze is awesome! Sweeping the Spurs! Thunder champion!"

After the game on the night of the 21st, we will leave for San Antonio on the morning of the second day. Head coach Brooks sent his players home early to rest and recharge their batteries.

The players were resting, and the coaching staff was still busy. Head coach Brooks looked at the technical statistics in his hands and frowned. Although G2 won, he was actually not satisfied with the process.

"Scott, the opponent is restricting Kayce more and more, forcing him to play the ball. Should we let Kayce increase some personal attack, after all, he is very efficient!"

Coach Brooks naturally understands what the assistant coach means, and everyone is worried that the away role players will be inaccurate.

Although Jeff Green scored another 14 points in this game, his performance of 14 of 4 shots and 4 of 1 three-pointers is really worrying. There may be no whistle in the away game.
Both Jeff Green and Krstic were a bit of a precursor to spit in this game. If it weren't for Ibaka's 5-for-5, Li Ze's assists would not have reached 9 times.

"Let's continue to maintain this kind of game strategy. Kevin is in good condition. Although I am a little worried about Russell, we are leading 2:0 now. According to the plan, we only need to win an away game. We will not give the next game. There's too much pressure on the lads."

杜兰特G2也发挥出色，投篮19中9，其中三分球3中1，罚球8中8，得到27分7篮板2助攻2失误1抢断，布鲁克斯主教练对此非常满意，李泽和杜兰特就是雷霆队的两根大腿。

"Russell also played very well this time. He can score every time he transitions. It would be great if there was another stable three-point shooter in the team."

The assistant coach looked at Guigui's stats of 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and praised him aloud.

But when I think about the problem of three-pointers, I also feel a little overwhelmed. If Jeff Green and Turtle cannot respond from the outside, then the Spurs' defense will shrink in the next game, and G2 will have This trend is gone.

"According to the previous game plan, we can let Kostic more mentioned on the line, as a receiving point, Kayce can control the ball, we don't have to worry about this."

"But I don't think the Spurs will continue to stick to shooting from beyond the three-point line. Next we have to make the boys pay attention to this."

Coach Brooks was writing and drawing on the tactical board while talking. When he thought of rebounding, he couldn't help but think of lemons. If there is a Tim Duncan in the team, all problems inside will be solved.

Duncan scored another 2 points, 25 rebounds and 13 assists in G2. Most importantly, there were no turnovers. After just one game, Duncan completely adapted to the Thunder's pincer defense.

"Rookie Byron can't keep up with the team's footsteps. During the offseason, do we have a chance to add a big player? Hey."

Hearing the sigh of the assistant coach, Coach Brooks also thought helplessly in his heart:
"The rapid growth of the team is not necessarily a good thing. After all, the inside players who have pursuits will not be willing to play the blue-collar insiders for the Thunder's trio, but they won't make too much money!"

On April 4, everyone in the Thunder team went to San Antonio. The first round of the matchup has come to the most critical time. G22 and G3 will determine the trend of the series.

At the same time, the NBA announced the winners of the COY (Best Coach) award and the MIP (Most Improved Player) award on this day.

The head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks, defeated the head coach of the Bucks, Scott Skiles, with an overwhelming advantage of 480 points, and won the best coach award for the 09-10 season without any suspense. .

Russell Westbrook, also with 35.8% of the votes, narrowly beat the Rockets' Aaron Brooks and won the Most Improved Player Award in the 09-10 season.

Double happiness for the Thunder team. After arriving in San Antonio, everyone held a simple celebration party for Coach Brooks and Turtle at the hotel.

"It deserves its name. To be honest, there is no suspense about this award. Just now I saw the coach's votes. 71 votes for the first place, 39 votes for the second place, and 8 votes for the third place. It is completely crushed. No. 2!"

Li Ze started his own business bragging mode, constantly praising his head coach
"From 23 wins to 61 wins, Coach Brooks led us to keep moving forward. Congratulations. The league really should announce this award earlier so that we can have a big party in Oklahoma City."

Durant also followed suit, saying nice words without risking money.

Head coach Brooks was also very happy to hear the players' fanciful compliments. He noticed the happy tortoise, clapped his hands immediately, and said solemnly:
"The fact that we can get this award depends entirely on everyone's support. This is also the league's affirmation of us. We have suffered a lot this season. We are almost the team with the heaviest training task in the league."

"But we have achieved success, second in the West, third in the league, the Most Improved Player Award, the best rookie, and the scoring leader this season. These are all amazing achievements!"

"Congratulations, Russell, you have made a huge improvement on both ends of the offense and defense. We have seen your progress this season. If you maintain this momentum, I believe that the Thunder will have MVPs and FMVPs in the future. The future must belong to Yours!"

"Aww!" "Papa papa"

Everyone in the Thunder team screamed and immediately drank the bowl of chicken soup, and at the same time gave warm applause to Brooks and Guigui.

"Great job! Russell, I knew you could win the award, we are the second in the Western Conference!"

"Russell, can I touch your trophy, it's so cool!"

"Hurry up and call Nina, she must be very happy!"

Seeing the smiling turtle, Li Ze patted him on the shoulder and sent his blessing:
"MIP is just a starting point, Bro, you will definitely be an All-Star next season, and you will definitely have a legendary career!"

The Thunder team is laughing and laughing, while the Spurs are in a more serious situation. They are 0:2 behind. They must win the first game back at home. If the big score falls to 1:0, then this round of the series The game can be declared over in advance.

Head coach Popovich and the coaching staff have discussed many methods over and over again in the past two days, but the disadvantages in matchups have been difficult to make up for with the tactical system. In this round of the series, it is difficult for his beloved apprentice George Hill. Played its due effect.

Moreover, Manu Ginobili mentioned that after starting the game, he needs to continue to play in the rotation stage. The more the game is delayed, the physical problems will gradually be exposed.

"Greg, I think someone on the team has to make sacrifices now. This game can't be lost anymore. We can't expect a sudden surge in outside three-pointers. We have to admit that in the matchup, we Totally at a disadvantage."

After hearing what the assistant coach said, Popovich thought briefly, and then said in a deep voice:

"I am in charge of communicating with Richard. Tomorrow night's game, we must win. I will be responsible for the first two losses, but now, we can only trust our players."

The so-called sacrifice is to divide Richard Jefferson's shooting rights. Jefferson has always been difficult to respond to outside shots in the first two games. He averaged 13 shots per game, but only hit 3 goals.

Therefore, the coaching staff of the Spurs decided to completely concentrate the ball in the hands of GDP and the others to defend with all their strength. As for the three-pointer?This game is not important anymore. They plan to use tough defense to suffocate the Thunder at home.

Coach Popovich thought of the Thunder's lineup structure again, and he felt more and more that giving up three-pointers might be the right choice. After all, the Spurs this season are not a team that is good at three-pointers. He believes that the Thunder's The zone defense couldn't withstand Duncan's impact.

"I hope this is not a wrong choice. Maybe next season, the team should trade for a defensive leader."

On the night of the 23rd, at the AT Center Arena, fans of the Spurs have already entered the arena ahead of time. Although the results of the regular season are mediocre, and the first round of the playoffs is 0:2 behind the Thunder, the fans will still do their best. Do your best to support the home team.

Li Ze still chose to warm up half an hour in advance, feeling the atmosphere of the scene, he felt that the fans in San Antonio were far worse than those in Oklahoma City.

However, considering that the Spurs have already won the championship and have been in the ranks of the playoffs for many years in a row, it is understandable that the enthusiasm of the local fans has faded.

"Physical condition is good, Kayce, but in away games, you also have to be careful about the opponent's movements. In this regard, everyone knows the style of the Spurs."

The trainer Meg briefly reminded Li Ze that he didn't want his big employer to be hurt by some outside tricks.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention. Manu Ginobili's playing moves are not bad. I am not a small guard like Steve Nash, and my muscles are not in vain."

Meg thought about Li Ze's style of play, nodded in agreement, and then reminded:
"The Spurs will definitely try their best to win this game. If you fall behind by a big score, don't force yourself."

"Don't worry, I know when I should exert my strength."

On the other side of the ocean, in the CCTV studio, host Yu Jia and guest Xu Jicheng had been chatting about the game for a long time. When the director team reminded that the starting lineup ahead was out, the host Yu Jia immediately said:
"The Spurs returned to the home court and made personnel adjustments. George Hill returned to the bench. The starting five players for this game are: Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Richard - Jefferson, Tim Duncan, Antonio McDyess."

"The Thunder still have a regular rotation. Coach Popovich has his strongest lineup. Coach Xu, what do you think of this game?"

"Tony Parker returned to the starting lineup, which may also mean that the Spurs gave up the strategy of using outside shots to break the zone defense. The first two games lost too badly. In this game, the Spurs will definitely strive for victory. The ball may Going to the paint a lot more."

Xu Jicheng immediately expressed his point of view. He felt that Popovich would definitely not continue to break through the zone defense with the outside line.

"Let's see if the Spurs' adjustments will work. After all, the difference between the first two games is not small. The game will start soon, and we will turn the screen to the front!"

In the away game, the Thunder team wore blue away team uniforms. After the Spurs DJ yelled wildly, the players finished their appearance. In the final warm-up stage before the game, everyone in the Thunder team naturally discovered the change of the Spurs team. .

"Tony Parker is back in the starting lineup, Russell, and you might miss George Hill's defense."

Durant laughed and teased the turtle beside him.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, he was also a fake starter before. The Spurs almost rotate with 7 people. I have adapted to their defense."

Turtle said confidently.

"Russell, you have to pay attention to the scale of whistleblowing. After all, this is the home court of the Spurs. Some actions may be caught by the referee."

Although the league has canceled the hand check, sometimes some small moves on the line, whether to whistle or not is all in the referee's mind. Li Ze doesn't want to see Guigui being troubled by fouls.

"Small problem, after all, we are defending the zone defense!"

When the referee signaled the two sides to come to the center of the field, the players on both sides simply said hello, Krstic and Antonio stood in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

"CCTV, what you are watching now is the Western Conference playoffs, the third game of the first round between the Thunder and the Spurs, Antonio successfully jumped to the ball for the Spurs, Ginobili dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed The ball goes to Duncan at the free throw line."

The host Yu Jia was a little surprised when he saw Duncan come to the high position to catch the ball.

The Spurs' opening offense was surprisingly simple. They didn't use outside transfers to dismember the Thunder's zone defense, but chose to let Tony Parker use his speed to hit the basket.

When Parker came to the line to catch the ball, he suddenly ran back. After receiving a pass from Duncan, he faced Durant who was shrinking and defending. During the march, his left hand suddenly changed direction, and then his right hand quickly turned around and combined with the ball to break through to the basket. , the left-handed layup hand.

"Ow!"

The audience in the AT center arena was immediately given a huge cheer by Parker, and then, led by the live DJ, began to shout for the team's defense.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

"Strike! Tony Parker's signature turnaround and breakthrough layup. Although the Thunder's defense shrunk, Parker's speed was too fast. Sure enough, as Director Xu expected, the Spurs may give up the strategy of breaking the defense from the outside. "

Seeing that the Spurs easily scored the first attack, the host Yu Jia was a little worried about the situation of the Thunder.

Coach Brooks stood by and applauded, indicating that there was no problem with the defense. At the same time, he made a gesture to everyone in the Thunder team, indicating that the start must be steady.

In the Thunder's offense, Turtle quickly dribbled across the half court. Li Ze passed Krstic's off-ball screen in the paint and quickly bounced to the top of the arc to catch the ball. Li Ze just received the pass from Turtle. Ginobi Leigh's defense has been posted.

Noticing Manu Ginobili's main defense on the left side, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. After breaking through the paint zone, he suddenly joined the ball, then turned around with his right foot as the axis, and shot a fallback jumper.

"Shua" two-pointer hit steadily.

"shush"

Seeing Li Ze hit a shot at the beginning of the game, the audience in the AT Center Arena immediately sent a huge boo. Spurs fans know that a large part of the reason for the loss in the first two games is that Li Ze played too well.

"It's very difficult for the Spurs to defend against Li Ze! This kind of player with balanced left and right hands makes it difficult for defenders to judge the opponent's offensive intentions, and the Spurs' offense also needs Ginobili, which consumes too much on both ends of the defense. .”

Xu Jicheng saw that Ginobili was struggling to defend, but was still hit by a two-pointer by Li Ze. After praising Li Ze, he also explained Ginobili's dilemma.

The Spurs quickly sent out the baseline ball. After Parker dribbled halfway, Duncan still came to the free throw line to catch the ball. Ginobili quickly came to the line and played a hand-off with Duncan.

Facing Li Ze's defense, he changed direction with his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand. Li Ze maintained a good defensive position, and Ginobili could not completely shake off the defense.

However, Ginobili also made a sudden turn during the march, came to the basket in an instant, picked the basket with his right hand, and was slapped away by Li Ze's hat.

"Snapped"

"squeak"

The referee whistled for Li Ze's thug foul, which made Li Ze face a question mark. Although the hit was successful, he touched the ball first.

"This is obviously a beautiful block. You should see it clearly from the baseline. You can watch the replay, sir!"

Head coach Brooks expressed his dissatisfaction to the line referee on the sidelines. Getting a foul so quickly will definitely affect Li Ze's defensive strength, but unfortunately the referee has no intention of changing the sentence and signaled Ginobili to make two free throws .

"Oh!!!"

The audience started cheering, they like to see the opposing coach look pissed off.

Ginobili stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and made two free throws. The Thunder quickly sent the baseline ball, and the turtle dribbled through half court, and immediately played a high pick-and-roll with Kostic.

Noticing that Antonio's defense was shrunk inside, Turtle didn't hesitate to make a jump shot from the free throw line.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

After the rebound was accepted by Duncan, he immediately passed it to Parker. The Spurs wanted to launch a quick conversion attack, but the Thunder team also retreated very quickly. Noticing this situation, Parker made an offensive gesture to his teammates, and then slowly Run past halftime.

Duncan Lick mentioned that Parker was performing a pick-and-roll on the three-point line, a high-quality pick-and-roll, and easily got rid of the entanglement of the tortoise. Facing Jeff Green, who came up on the switch, he held the ball in his left hand and pretended to break through, and suddenly stopped and shot a jumper.

"唰" scored two points long.

Jeff Green was a little annoyed and indicated to his teammates that the ball was his problem. After the opening, Parker broke into the penalty area, which made him a little afraid of the opponent's breakthrough, and subconsciously took a step back, but the opponent shot directly.
When the Thunder attacked, Turtle gestured for Durant to play a double screen.

Since Jefferson defended Durant very fiercely in this game, he kept chasing after Jeff Green. The quality of the screen was not high. Feeling that it had no effect, he couldn't help but take a small step quietly.

The experienced Jefferson immediately tilted his body and fell directly to the ground.

"squeak"

The linesman signaled Jeff Green to move the screen, and Jefferson, who fell to the ground, immediately punched and roared.

"what!!"

Li Ze noticed that such a situation happened, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart. When he came to the opponent's home court, the referee would definitely be strict with some small moves.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 1:10, and the game fell into the rhythm of the Spurs. Coach Brooks also found a problem on the sidelines. The Spurs stopped shooting open three-pointers. rush in
It doesn't matter if you can't score. The two big men, Duncan and Antonio, messed up inside. Coupled with the referee's whistle twice from time to time, the Thunder's offensive rhythm was completely disrupted.

During the official timeout, Brooks head coach immediately replaced Ibaka on the court, and at the same time cheered up his players:

"Guys, we started off very well. The offense must be patient. Our turnovers are very well controlled. We must keep going and keep going. The Spurs will not maintain this defensive intensity throughout the game."

After returning from the timeout, the Spurs continued to maintain their own offensive rhythm. Jefferson had completely matched up with Durant, desperately confronting Durant on the defensive end.

The Thunder team attacked, and Li Ze came to the right side of the three-point line to catch the ball. At this time, Durant suddenly ran back, relying on Kostic's cover, cut inside,
After receiving the pass from Li Ze, Jefferson cut the ball away just after taking a dribble. Jefferson, who successfully defended, applauded himself while the audience cheered.

"Oww!!"

The Spurs fans shouted happily when they saw this scene. This is the atmosphere of the home court. The fans are sometimes the team's best sixth man.

In the remaining few minutes, the Spurs have always maintained a high-pressure defense against Li Ze and Durant. At the same time, the defense against the tortoise has also become very targeted. Antonio and Duncan are no longer easily defended, and Parker is also appropriate. put a step further.

At the end of the first quarter, at 1:22, the away Thunder temporarily fell behind by two points.

During the intermission, Li Ze and Durant suddenly felt depressed. The offensive space could not be opened, and the Spurs' defense finally began to shrink. Jeff Green and Ibaka did not seize the opportunity. Krstic's The end of the inside line is also soft.

Every time he catches the ball in the middle distance, there is one person beside him, and one person on the breakthrough line. This layer of defense really limits the performance of Li Ze and Durant.

On the contrary, Guigui played well in the first quarter, 6 of 4, and seized all the opportunities given by the Spurs.

The next three quarters of the game were almost exactly the same as the first quarter. The Spurs used their crazy breakthroughs and extreme defensive rotations to completely suffocate the Thunder at home.

At 88:94, the Spurs returned to the home court and successfully pulled back a victory.

After the game, Head Coach Popovich shook hands with Head Coach Brooks with a smile on his face, and also sent his blessings by the way:

"Scott, congratulations on getting the best coach. You are the youngest team in the league. You have created a miracle with these young people. Come on, the future is yours, but in the next game, we will also No mercy."

Coach Brooks has also calmed down his mood. He lost for the first time in the playoffs, and he was inevitably a little disappointed. Hearing what Popovich said, he immediately smiled and said:

"Thank you for your blessings, but we still have a lot to learn. Tonight, the Spurs did teach us a lesson, but we will do our best to win the next game!"

The two looked at each other, then smiled at the same time and said:

"Good luck"

The game was so drowsy that in the CCTV studio, the host Yu Jia and the guest Xu Jicheng were also a little depressed when they saw the Spurs winning in such a way.

“本场比赛GDP组合开始发威了，帕克16中10，拿到了23分4篮板3助攻2失误，吉诺比利14中7，拿到22分5篮板4助攻，邓肯18中11，拿到25分9篮板4助攻3盖帽，三人合砍70分！”

When the host Yu Jia saw the technical statistics in his hand, he couldn't help but praise the GDP combination.

"The key to victory in this game is defense. The Spurs have completely changed their defensive strategy in the previous two games. They no longer defend against Li Ze and Durant alone, but the Thunder's offensive problem has appeared on the role players."

“李泽22分7篮板5助攻2抢断1失误，杜兰特24分7篮板1抢断，再加上威斯布鲁克的18分4篮板2助攻，三人发挥完全不输于GDP组合，但角色球员们基本哑火了。”

Xu Jicheng didn't expect that the Thunder team's young people would start spitting cakes when they arrived at the away game
"Indeed, as Director Xu said, how do you think the Thunder should adjust in the next game? The situation of 2:2 and 3:1 is completely different!"

Hearing the host Yu Jia's question, Xu Jicheng briefly thought about it, and then said truthfully:
"There's not a lot of room to adjust. The Thunder have played this way all season. This game is just not shooting. But your game strategy is like this. When you have an opportunity, you have to keep shooting. I can only hope the boys adjust quickly. Mentality, away games are really difficult."

The game was held on Saturday in China on the other side of the ocean, so there were a lot of people watching the game. The fans of the Thunder team felt chilled when they heard Xu Jicheng's comments. Everyone rushed to the Hupu forum to play Dog head soldier.

"It's not right, Jeff Green was okay in the first two games! Why did he suddenly become sluggish in the away game? Can any brother tell me, does the Thunder still have a reliable rotation?"

"It's really gone. During the regular season, the Thunder can rotate up to 10 people. In the playoffs, they can change to 8 people. On the bench, the only insiders are Ibaka and Nick Collison. "

"The Thunder's defense is actually not a big problem. They only lost two rebounds, but the offense is getting slower and slower. I remember that Li Ze gave Krstic two almost easy dunk opportunities, but Duncan Hats off"

"I said a long time ago that in the middle of the season, Tyson Chandler should be traded over. With the boxing champion, both offense and defense have been greatly improved."

"Didn't the news say that they won't come? If you want to be so imaginative, if you bring Gasol over, the Thunder will be invincible. I think Li Ze is more suitable for Gasol than Kobe."

"Stop fantasizing here. The Thunder are just these few people. Please pray for Jeff Green to be brave. The Spurs' two insiders are too strong to protect the frame."

"The game was really ugly. There were no three-pointers and no transitional dunks. If it wasn't for Li Ze, I wouldn't have seen the end of this game."

After the game, everyone in the Thunder's locker room was in a good mood. After all, they were still leading by a big score. As long as they won an away game, they would be able to return to Oklahoma City with a 3:1 advantage.

"Fack! Jefferson and Antonio, these two fouled 4 times in the 5th quarter, and they persisted until the end of the game, shitty referee!"

Hearing Durant's complaint, Li Ze also complained:
"I almost left the field with 6 fouls, Ginobili returned to the home court and became a foul master"

"Haha, Kayce, it's a good thing you finally got your emotions under control. I feel that the referee's whistle scale has suddenly become stricter. This game is my problem. When I was in Oklahoma City, such a screen would not be called a foul at all. .”

In this game, Jeff Green, who is super ghostly, took the initiative to take the blame. He was whistled twice by the referee for moving screens, but in fact, he can’t be blamed for this. If you want to improve the quality of screens with a small body, you have to use some small means, but The current version does not support mobile cover
"The next game, we can definitely play better. To be honest, I didn't fully adapt to the Spurs' offense until the second half."

Turtle was also unhappy in this game. There was no follow-up, no change of offense, and the first away game. Facing the overwhelming boos of the Spurs fans, he still couldn't get up emotionally.

Coach Brooks came to the locker room and immediately comforted his players:
"Do you still remember that sentence? The playoffs start with an away game win. We have completed our mission very well, and the Spurs are the same. But in the next game, we still have a chance to forget this loss!"

"After returning to the hotel, take a good rest! Remember to watch less news reports, and ignore those nonsense rhetoric. In the next game, we will definitely win!"

Although Head Coach Brooks was full of confidence in front of the players, he became frowning after returning to the hotel. The worst happened, and the Thunder's three-pointers began to miss.

"Scott, relax. After this game, the boys must have adapted to the atmosphere of the away game. Our outside touch will definitely rebound in the next game. Don't worry, you should rest earlier!"

Coach Brooks heard the assistant coach's comfort and responded in a low voice:

"I'm not just worried about the three-pointer. In the last two games, we lost the transition offense. This game was completely destroyed by the Spurs. The opponent's shooting rate is picking up. This is not a problem. good phenomenon."

"We can't expect the Spurs to hit a shooting percentage lower than the regular season in a row. There are still two days left. We adjust the game state of the players. I believe the boys will successfully rebound."

Thinking of the current 2:1 lead, Coach Brooks also heaved a sigh of relief, let go of those chaotic thoughts in his heart, and comforted himself in his heart:

"Everything will be fine, we are ahead of each other"

After Li Ze returned to the hotel, he simply took a bath, and then began to reply to the condolence text messages sent by his friends. In fact, he was already prepared for the away game loss.

According to the rules of the regular season, Jeff Green, who has been super ghostly for a long time, should return to his normal level in the next game. It's a normal phenomenon.

After finally replying to the blessing text message, after logging into Twitter and Facebook, he saw a bunch of messages again, Li Ze threw his phone aside, lay down on the big bed and fell asleep.

In the dream training space, Li Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a new prompt on the control panel. After thinking about the last few games, he didn't do anything special, so he couldn't help entering the achievement room curiously.

Seeing the new bronze badge in front of him, Li Ze touched it lightly:
Achievement Badge [Death Coil]: 4/50
Enhances a player's ability to face off against an opposing offensive player on the perimeter.

After Li Ze saw the attributes of this badge, he couldn't help scratching his head. The bonus effect of defending the badge was not too obvious, and it didn't help much. However, another thought suddenly popped up in his mind:
"[Death Coil] I have it, if I produce another badge of cutting the ball, maybe the effect will be very good!"

Looking at the silver badge in front of him, Li Ze also let go of his worries after losing the game. Thinking of the game the day after tomorrow, he thought confidently:
"If it's a big deal, I'll kill it. The Mamba spirit supports me!"
