992. Super Youth Army (Part 2)
Obviously, after the first crushing defeat, the Thunder team learned from their mistakes and made changes.
Sometimes quarrels are not necessarily all bad things. For example, Durant and his head coach Brooks reached a consensus in the second game, strengthening defense, and increasing their opposition to Harden, Seifrosa, Mohammed, Dai Quinn Cook, etc.
People's use is no longer the rotation of 8 people like in the first section.
Although he lost the second game in the end, his tactical changes were insufficient in the last quarter and he was killed by the Grizzlies' defense, the Thunder have made great changes.
On May 21, there was another intense game of high-intensity defense throughout the game. With Durant's three-pointer, the Thunder tied the big score 1-2 and refused to fall behind 0-3!
Both teams did a very good job in this game. Sun Ce made a 26-point and 4 assists tonight... His offensive performance was average, but he also had 22 rebounds, 6 blocks and 2 steals. His defensive performance was excellent, which represents the
The Grizzlies have never relaxed in their defense throughout the game.
In the first half, Sun Ce played 22 minutes and scored 9 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks. In the first half, the Grizzlies actually led by 3 points, so during the break, Sun Ce chose to use the full physical energy that had just been charged.
Potion, winning 1 point is also winning, and winning 58 points is also winning, all wins, there is no difference, just win.
But Durant is Durant, who may be the best killer player in the league today. Today, the Thunder did not attack as hard as the last game, mainly because Durant only scored 10 points in the first half.
But Fisher, Harden and Ibaka made a good shot from Westbrook's sudden score, helping the Thunder bit the score, and were not completely locked by the Grizzlies' defense.
In the second half, Durant began to make efforts, scoring in double digits for two consecutive quarters, 13 points in the third quarter, 15 points in the fourth quarter, and 38 points in the whole game, scoring 38 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, in Weiss
Brooke received excellent organizational performances with assists, helping the Thunder narrowly defeat the Grizzlies.
In fact, Sun Ce made a key shot in the end. With 12 seconds left, he received the ball and dunked at the basket to help the Grizzlies overtake 1 point, but Durant scored a three-pointer... Westbrook drove for 8 seconds and threw it
To Durant, Durant dribbled the ball while leaving the three-point line while sticking to the defense. He threw it out and went straight in after more than 1 second left.
There is nothing to do!
...
...
On May 22, another day of rest for the Grizzlies and Thunder is here.
The indoor stadium, which was booked by the Grizzlies in the Four Seasons Hotel in Oklahoma City, has ended its tactical training in the morning, and has to play in the afternoon. However, Sun Ce did not leave with the ball in his arms, feeling like a crow's mouth.
After the first game, he was still puzzled why the Thunder played so badly. Well, how good they played in the next two games.
Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, four super geniuses with super talents and have already fulfilled their talents as strength. They are too strong and terrible!
The Thunder are just a little bit off in the inside single defense, but the overall defense is very strong, and there are too many outside scorers. In addition to Vihadu, there are also Fisher, who averaged 8 points per game in the first three games, and Saifer who averaged 11 points per game.
Rosa, Dae Quinn Cook, who averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game, does not count Eric Meno and Lightning Jackson who were reimbursed in the playoffs.
Sun Ce had done his best in that game last night. He didn't know if he would perform better if he used the Star Experience Card, but in terms of team continuity, unless he used the A-level designated Star Experience Card to choose Iguodala.
The origin of that type may not be as good as the defensive continuity.
Of course, the Grizzlies played well last night, but Durant performed too explosively.
In the past two games, Durant scored 39 points in one game and 38 points in the other game, so strong that he was too strong! When others created a situation for him that he could easily play for one quarter or half, how crazy he would be in the rest of the time
separate.
After a sigh, Sun Ce practiced two more mid-range shots, and returned to the room. Lily Collins had already helped him wash the bathtub and put water in. The two of them kept the heat on the faucet and fought for two hours. Sun Ce hugged him and took a nap.
Lily Collins was lying on the bed, and if she continued to fight like this one after another, she really felt unsure!
The psychological burden on the opponent is too great, and Sun Ce does not have the joy of getting the double 20 at all.
First of all, the winning goal means that the game is very anxious, that is, the strength is comparable. The Grizzlies saw with their own eyes that the group of talented people on the opposite side play better and better in one game.
This psychological pressure is even greater.
Moreover, unlike fans who only look at the data, even if the Thunder team failed to win the finale in the second game, it would not affect the pressure Durant brought to them in the third game.
In addition to this, Sun Ce opened the event section and took a look. The Durant series scored 39 points, while Sun scored 25 points.
Fortunately, he and Westbrook both had 0 triple-doubles. It was difficult for Westbrook to get a triple-double. Unless Westbrook ran to grab rebounds regardless of defense, it would be almost impossible to rebound in this series.
Up double.
The Thunder have been able to defend so well in the past two games. Westbrook's defense against Nash, Reedno and Neal is very important. After all, he was the best defensive player in his college years. If you really have to defend with all your heart, you have to do it.
With Ibaka assisting in defense, the defense is really good.
But it's too difficult for him, Mr. Sun to score 40 points to surpass Durant...
"If I had known the first game, I would have put on my eye mask..."
But it's too late to regret now.
Shaking his head, putting this aside for the time being, now he leads 2-1, which means he has to play at least two more games. It’s not that he has no chance, and Sun Ce thinks that there may be more than two games.
The opponent is really better than the other.
Sun Ce remembers the second round of this year in time and space because it was Kobe's last playoff trip. He has specially found a video to watch it and still has an impression.
In that round of the series between the Lakers and the Thunder, the Lakers actually took the initiative in the first four games. In the three games of the second to the fourth game, the Lakers were the lead in the last moments of the second and third games.
In the fourth game, Kobe also scored a key goal to tie the score.
That's when the Lakers lost Odom and caused the inside to be empty, they were not good except for the double towers, resulting in excessive fatigue in the double towers. No one in the point guard could limit Westbrook, and was beaten by Westbrook.
Average 25 points per game in the career playoffs single-round series averaged a record high.
But with Kobe averaging 31 points per game, the Lakers still did not lose the upper hand in the first four games.
However, in the second game, Durant scored a final victory while falling 1 point behind. The Thunder defended two home games. Durant missed the final victory in the third game, but in the fourth game, Kobe tied the score with a key goal.
Under the circumstances, Durant once again scored a three-pointer, and the Thunder won a away game, tying the big score 3-1.
After these two final kills, the Thunder completely established confidence, while the Lakers played very hard, playing so well in three games, but they were defeated and completely collapsed in the fifth game.
Even if the Lakers lose Odom in this round of the series, their strength does not seem to be worse than the Thunder. They are purely in trouble and meet Durant. Durant's average score per game in this round of the series is actually not high, with 26 points.
But he was invincible at the critical moment, and Durant also got the nickname of Death in this round of the series.
For Thunder players, this round of series is a series that they have laid the strength and confidence of strong teams, so that they can turn the Spurs 4-2 behind 0-2 in the Western Conference Finals, despite the key goals
At that time, the Thunder team had free throws and the Spurs played no matter how they played, it was a strange call, but at least in those four games, the Thunder's overall performance was not inferior to the Spurs.
The Thunder team now gives Sun Ce this feeling, each game is better than each game, and each confidence is more than each game.
It's almost impossible to lead the Grizzlies 2-1 now, otherwise it would be really bad.
After a while of rest, Sun Ce got up and put on his clothes and took advantage of the afternoon break to watch the video of the past three games.
Especially in the second and third games, I want to find the other party’s loopholes.
There is really an obvious loophole... At the same time, this loophole is also a loophole for their Grizzlies.
The Thunders' low defense was not good, but the Grizzlies only had Randolph's scores more low points in these two games.
The Grizzlies have only two players with good offenses at low posts, Randolph and Sun.
But most of the time in the second and third games, Durant defended him. Sun Ce faced Durant, and it was difficult to play at a low post, so he went less, and even if he went, he would not play well.
Although Durant's defense is not as good as Prince, Sun's offense is not as good as Pierce and Kobe, Anthony, Pierce and Kobe. Anthony's defense against Prince is not good at playing low, Sun's attack is not as good as Pierce.
Rand is about the same.
Sun Ce watched the video clips of the past two games again. He understood that they had done the best on the offensive end, and adjusted everything they could. The other party had adjusted, so they were naturally working hard to adjust.
But this is the best.
Then you have to seek a breakthrough, that is, you must have a style of playing that the opponent does not expect.
The first two games were useless. I didn’t have any preparations to use them at the beginning. I was confident that I could win, and I didn’t lose the game. Even in the second game, I predicted that Durant’s performance in the second half would most likely decline.
Because Durant's physical strength distribution was not good in the second game, he was over-fighted in the first half. They were confident that they could recover the score, so Sun Ce maintained his playing style, and didn't he win?
But now he has been killed in a game and the opponent is fighting at home again, so his confidence will definitely increase greatly.
The key is that the Grizzlies are known as the Youth Army, but in fact, Sun is the only one who is a young star, Paul George and Clay are not a star, and Gasol Jr. is both 26.
And the Thunder team, the Super Youth Army! The four super young stars are in a state of power and cannot be curbed.
Chapter completed!
