Chapter 540: Its not that we are too weak, but that the other side is too strong!
In the second quarter, rotation battle!
All right!
At this point, the so-called rotation only exists "after I die..."
There will be plenty of time to rest after death, but you don’t need it now!
Collison, Durant, Su Bei, Harden, Billups play!
It's the Spurs who really do the rotation. With their old GDP, they have no choice but to seize their playing time.
Bo Povich sent out a lineup of Splitter, Warriors Jackson, Leonard, Ginobili, and Gary Neal.
The second quarter started and the Thunder had the ball.
At the beginning, Billups and Harden were trying to pull out three-pointers continuously, and they would die if they tried.
Su Bei stepped forward and hit two consecutive three-pointers, competing with Ginobili and Jackson.
The two sides fought back and forth in the confrontation, and the score improved step by step, but no one could do anything to their opponent!
Although the role player statistics are very good, Su Bei made 3 of 3, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points. Wusheng Jackson made 3 of 3, 1 of 1 three-pointers, scored 7 points and 1 assist, but they did not determine the second place.
The key to the score difference in the competition.
The comparison of the personal performance of the core players is the real answer!
Duncan made 0 of 2 shots, Parker made 1 of 4, Leonard made 0 of 1, Diaw made 2, Ginobili made 2 of 4...
Durant made 0 shots and scored 0 points, Westbrook made 2 of 5, Harden made 2 of 5, Yin Baka made 3 of 5...
In the miserable comparison between the core players, it is obvious that the Spurs are even worse!
Therefore, in the second quarter, it was even more tragic that the Spurs only scored 24 points.
The Thunder were not that miserable, scoring 27 points and expanding their 3-point advantage.
At the end of the first half, the score was 55 to 46. The Thunder entered the locker room to rest with a 9-point advantage.
"They say the Thunder didn't rotate.
In fact, in Hong Kong, from beginning to end, only the Thunder were rotating, while the Spurs were really playing."
"The question is, in the second quarter of the game, the Thunder hid a leading scorer in terms of firepower output.
As the scoring leader and the leader of the Thunder, Durant did not make even one offensive shot in the second quarter. Moreover, Durant only played more than 6 minutes in the second quarter. This is very unusual.
Reasonable!
The answer is just one, save your energy and fight hard in the critical second half."
"Next, it depends on whether Durant is really invisible or tightens his fists and only strikes hard in the second half..."
It has to be said that the commentator still has a vicious vision. He did not deny Durant's ability just because Durant scored 0 points in the second quarter. Instead, he regarded Durant as a dangerous person.
Sure enough, I came back in the second half.
Durant came like death.
Continuously holding the ball, probing and then breaking through, then, dry pull, and then dry pull...
Swish——!
Swish——!
What can Leonard, a rookie, do to compete with the scoring champion?
The 40-meter-long scythe swung by Durant continuously cut Leonard off his horse.
In a single quarter, he made 6 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 13 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound, becoming the scoring leader.
However, some people from the Spurs also stood up and competed with Durant.
It turned out to be Ginobili, a 35-year-old monster with plenty of gas in the tank. While he became the most beautiful player on the Spurs in the first half, he never expected that he would be even more brave in the third quarter of the second half.
Whose general is this? It’s so unscientific.
He made 5 of 6 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and even scored 13 points in a single quarter, which is a lot of strength.
In the first half, Su Bei, as the most handsome guy on the Thunder team, had to give in to the performance of the two of them.
In the third quarter of the game, the Thunder defeated the Spurs with a score of 29 to 28 points, continuing to expand their score advantage. Although the expansion was by 1 point, it was also an expansion.
The only one the Spurs can play against is Ginobili. Although the Thunder has been beaten by Su Bei, Westbrook also made 3 of 6, 3 of 3 free throws, 9 points and 1 assist in a single quarter.
, expanded the advantage by 1 point, which is reasonable!
At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 84 to 74. Bit by bit, the Thunder accumulated a 10-point lead and entered the final quarter.
The fourth quarter of the game begins.
The Spurs have possession of the offensive ball.
After reaching this situation, they realized that in order to win the Thunder, they had to make three-pointers to open up the situation.
However, Wu Sheng Jackson's three-point shot after a three-step threat was missed due to Durant's interference.
On the contrary, Durant continued to play, and then played the leading role in scoring. He turned around, held the ball in a one-on-one, and faced Jackson's block. He also made a three-point pull-up, basically in the same position, under the defensive interference of Jackson.
, Durant’s three-pointer was accurately hit.
"This is professionalism!
Durant is the scoring leader, and Jackson is a role player who only averaged 9 points per game this season. How can he compete with Durant?
The Spurs have now lost their strongest asset, which is their unique defensive ability.
The defensive ability is no longer at the championship level, so there is only one way, which is to increase the offensive firepower to the championship level.
However, they do not have a top scorer like Durant who can ignore the defense and defeat any opponent's defense..."
87 to 74!
The point difference became 13 points.
There was only 11 minutes left for the Spurs.
At this time, Parker stood up, used his team, and took advantage of Duncan's cover to suddenly go inside and hit two points with a precise mid-range shot, stabilizing the situation.
The score returned to 11 points.
Sure enough, the opportunity still appeared!
Westbrook stood up, one step away from the three-point line, ignored Durant and Su Bei's reach for the ball, raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper...
Parker could only listen to the gunshot, but at the same time, it was also an opportunity.
Bang-dang——!
Sure enough, Westbrook became the No. 6 again.
Using such a three-point shot to test the Spurs' defense, who can't withstand such a test?
Seeing the confused Westbrook, Su Bei was also speechless!
Can you say that playing such a ball is unreasonable?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! No way!
Whenever this three-pointer is hit, it will kill people and take away the game.
If they had won, the Spurs would probably have wanted to die, but Westbrook struck the iron.
Westbrook's choice is very reasonable, but his ability is not good. How do you call this choice reasonable?
Anyway, Westbrook likes this rhythm!
Sure enough, if you don't kill the snake, you will be bitten by the snake.
Looking back, Ginobili hit a three-pointer against Su Bei's block.
Swish——!
"bingo!
Ginobili was amazing tonight.
Almost single-handedly, he supported the Spurs' offense and kept the suspense of the outcome of the game until the end.
The old demon sword can still kill people with blood..."
87 to 79!
The point difference is only 8 points!
Sure enough, with only three-point shooting open, the Spurs still have hope of winning.
It's a pity that at this time, the Thunder have already maxed out their offensive attributes.
The lineup in the fourth quarter became the lineup of the Thunder's fourth youngster, Su Bei.
After Du Shao and Westbrook finished their swing, it was Ha Shao's turn to grab the ball. Against Diaw's block, he jumped out and hit a three-pointer.
Swish——!
“Very nice!
The talent pool of the Thunder is so strong!
Even if someone's shot is crooked, someone will always step up and score.
Such continuous attacks are also very terrifying..."
90 to 79!
The point difference is still 11 points!
Then, it was Parker who took the shot. He made an emergency stop after a mismatch and missed the shot.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder counterattacked, but Westbrook failed to force the count. If it didn't work once, it would be a second time.
"It's Westbrook again, dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, raising his hand and shooting a three-point pull-up jumper, and... no, it still missed.
Too tough!
Westbrook is still wandering.
He is also a talent!
He has the talent of a superstar. At least at critical moments, he dares to take action regardless of whether he can advance or not..."
Whether it was Durant, Su Bei or Harden, they were all guarded by Westbrook, a cheater.
As long as he is willing to pass the ball, or if he can hit even one three-pointer, the game situation will most likely be easier.
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
When Durant and Harden were in hot form, Westbrook joined in the fun and made sandwich pancakes.
Su Bei can only continue to play soy sauce.
After all, Westbrook is the Thunder’s own son!
It's just that this son doesn't do human things.
Another chance for the Spurs.
"Jackson continued to shoot three-pointers. Durant didn't expect that Jackson would be so brave.
He was careless and didn't step out to block the shot..."
Swish——!
With the sword raised and dropped, Martial Saint Jackson's three-pointer was late but arrived!
90 to 82!
The Spurs haven't been killed yet.
The game is still suspenseful!
Immediately afterwards, the Spurs' GDP began to exert force. Duncan stretched his hips for three quarters and finally got hard. He continued to hit the back in the low post and hit the board at 45 degrees, continuing the momentum of chasing points.
Coupled with Ginobili and Parker's breakthroughs and fouls, and the experience of getting to the free throw line and making free throws, the Spurs once narrowed the point difference to 5 points.
However, Harden stepped forward and hit three-pointers one after another, extinguishing the Spurs' enthusiasm for counterattack.
As Su Bei, who had been invisible, stepped on the ball again, he suddenly shot a three-pointer and hit it accurately. The Spurs felt like they were falling into an abyss.
Although Westbrook is a bright light, he reaches out to help from time to time. He only made 1 of 5 shots and kept giving opportunities.
But Harden was too good. He made 4 of 4 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 12 points in a single quarter.
In addition, Durant made 3 of 6, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 9 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, and Su Bei's 1 of 1 three-pointers, 3 points and 3 assists.
The Spurs' GDP combination is indeed very capable. Duncan changed his performance in the first three quarters and made 4 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points in a single quarter.
Parker made 2 of 4 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points. In addition, Ginobili's efficiency dropped greatly. He made 2 of 8 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He also scored 7 points. Together, he scored 7 points.
25 points.
It's just a pity that it's still not enough to reverse 11 points... No, even just 10 points to drag the game into overtime is impossible, absolutely impossible.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 113 to 107. The Thunder had the last laugh with a 6-point advantage. They won three games in a row and tied the score to 3-2. They won the Tianwangshan battle and took the lead in getting the match point on the Western Conference finals floor.
Durant made 10 of 19 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 27 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds. He put his scoring edge in the second half, performed well and had the responsibility of being the boss.
Westbrook made 8 of 20 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 21 points, 11 assists, 4 steals, and 4 rebounds. His efficiency was average, but his overall statistics were very good, which was very acceptable.
Harden made 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 20 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds. His performance in the first three quarters was mediocre, but his highlight in the fourth quarter surprised everyone.
Su Bei made 7 of 9 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 21 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds. As a role player, he did not have many opportunities to perform, but his efficiency was very high, as high as three or four floors.
The Thunder's third youngster, Su Bei, scored 89 points together. With these magical statistics, the Spurs did not lose unfairly.
It’s not that we are too weak, but that the other side is too strong!
Ginobili made 11 of 21 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 34 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.
Parker made 5 of 14 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 10 of 12 free throws, and scored 20 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds.
Duncan made 7 of 10 shots and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 18 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.
GDP has already scored 72 points in total. The performance is not bad, but there is one missing role player like Su Bei who can score 20 points!
Leonard made 1 of 4, 4 points and 10 rebounds, Danny Green made 0 of 2, Diaw made 2 of 5... Jackson made 5 of 9 and scored 13 points. He is already the best performer among role players and can play all the games.
