…………
On June 8th, US time, the sixth game of this series between the Spurs and the Thunder officially started!
In the first five games, the two sides drew 2:3.
After winning two games in a row, the Spurs actually lost two games in a row. Fortunately, after returning home, they won another game and now lead 3:2.
In other words, the Spurs have now obtained the match point in this series, but what worries the Spurs very much is that the Spurs' inside defender Derrick Favors was injured in the last game. Today
It didn't get better, so Duncan had to make a hasty comeback. Originally, according to Popovich's wishes, if possible, Duncan would continue to rest.
However, the continuous high-intensity games made Favors exhausted. Since the game after Duncan was injured, Favos's consecutive playing time has reached an average of 42 minutes per game. The only one who can compare with him is Chen Feng.
Favors will sit out this game. His replacement will be Jordan Hill.
The Spurs' starting lineup is: center Jordan Hill, power forward Boris Diaw, small forward Leonard, shooting guard Ginobili, and point guard Chen Feng;
After Favors was away and Duncan returned, Popovich changed his starting lineup, with Duncan on the bench. Ginobili mentioned starting.
As for the Thunder: Perkins at No. 5, Serge Ibaka at No. 4, Kevin Durant at No. 3, Reggie Jackson at No. 2, Russell Way at No. 1
Brooke.
At the beginning of the game, Perkins and Jordan Hill jumped the ball, and the Thunder won the ball.
The ball quickly passed to Russell Westbrook, who quickly advanced towards the Spurs half court with the ball. Russell Westbrook's speed is definitely among the top five in the league.
For example, in the first two matches, Chen Feng can be said to have definitely shown his worth as an MVP, but he does not dare to say that he can absolutely suppress Westbrook.
Now Chen Feng's overall ability rating is 97, which has almost reached his peak, but Westbrook here is now gradually strengthening with his shooting ability. This guy's ability is also 93, which is better than the scoring machine Durant.
It's just a difference of 4 points.
Russell Westbrook's shooting percentage is now relatively good among guards in the league, but his three-point ability is not very good.
In his pre-game arrangements, Popovich emphasized the defense of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant of the Thunder. Serge Ibaka is naturally the inside pillar of the Thunder.
.Although even after Harden leaves, he is only the third child.
However, his performance has been relatively stable. He can get 18+10 in basically every game. If he is in good condition, he can get 30+15.
If the Thunder wants to win the game, the combination of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant often plays a decisive role. Russell Westbrook’s speed and breakthrough make any team in the league
, it’s all talk, and more than 50% of his hits this season are also a very powerful scoring point.
Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the league and one of the strongest small forwards in active service. Compared with James' comprehensiveness, Durant is stronger in scoring.
Russell Westbrook quickly brought the ball across half court. Chen Feng was already waiting at the three-point line. The only one on the team who could keep up with his speed was Chen Feng.
Russell Westbrook didn't stick to the ball too much. Just after halftime, he handed the ball to Kevin Durant. After receiving the ball, the latter got up and shot, and the ball drew a beautiful line in the air.
Arc, it fell into the basket with a "swish" sound.
Ginobili's performance in the playoffs made the coaching staff quite satisfied. Not only did he gain more offensive shots, but his performance in organizing offense and defense was also very gratifying. Now he is guarding Durant.
The task is mainly for Ginobili and Leonard. After all, Chen Feng needs to be liberated.
Chen Feng and Russell Westbrook were facing each other on defense. Facing a famously fast player in the league, Chen Feng naturally worked hard and slowly dribbled the ball past half court.
As the two got closer, Russell Westbrook's expression became more solemn. In the last game, the two were evenly matched. Chen Feng's sharp breakthrough left a deep impression on him, and he studied his opponent before the game.
During the tactics, coach Brooks pointed out that although Ginobili has been in excellent form recently, he is still an old guy after all, and he cannot always be in such good form.
The biggest threat to the team now is Chen Feng, and to deal with Chen Feng, Russell Westbrook is naturally the first choice.
Chen Feng's continuous changes of direction and feints failed to deceive Russell Westbrook. After several failed breakthroughs, Chen Feng did not feel depressed at all, but there was a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.
When Russell Westbrook couldn't figure out his expression, Chen Feng's right shoulder suddenly shrugged back, and he turned 180 degrees with the ball, but the center of his body moved slightly backward.
All of a sudden it stuck to Russell Westbrook.
Russell Westbrook's reaction was not unpleasant. After figuring out Chen Feng's intention, he quickly dodged. However, his reaction was a little slow after all. The moment he wanted to retreat, Chen Feng had already turned around.
To his right, the right hand holding the ball pushed back slightly, and his elbow hit Russell Westbrook's waist, stopping his movement, but the speed was very fast, and not only the referee could not see him
Even Russell Westbrook suspected that it was an unintentional move.
It sounds troublesome to say, but it was completed in the blink of an eye. The Thunder players had no time to make up the defense and watched Chen Feng hit a jumper.
Russell Westbrook felt uncomfortable being beaten by Chen Feng like this, but it did not affect his judgment of the game. After halftime, he quickly handed the ball to Kevin Durant on the right wing.
.
The Spurs player closest to Kevin Durant was Ginobili, but Kevin Durant did not choose a jumper. Instead, he started dribbling the ball at full speed, rushing past Ginobili and toward the Spurs like lightning.
The inside line of the team launched an attack.
The outstanding wing player in this league is also very good at attacking the inside. Boris Diaw has been taken out by Serge Ibaka, and only Jordan Hill is left in the inside.
Jordan Hill seems to be influenced by Duncan. He is expressionless during the game, which makes many players who face him feel guilty. Duncan's defense is clean, but Hill is not Duncan. This guy's defense is very fierce.
.However, Kevin Durant obviously has no such scruples. Not to mention Jordan Hill now, even Duncan at his peak, he also dared to rush forward.
Kevin Durant used inertia to quickly climb up, ignoring Jordan Hill under the basket. At this time, he only had the basket in his eyes. Kevin Durant was in the air, like a soaring hero in the sky.
Like an eagle, it freely displays its majesty.
Jordan Hill's eyes flashed, his body's center of gravity sank slightly, and all his attention was focused on Kevin Durant. Since the opponent ignored his defense so much, he should greet him properly.
A fierce collision is about to take place in the arena. According to the situation, Kevin Durant will suffer more in the direct confrontation between the two. Jordan Hill, who is waiting under the basket, has poor physical fitness.
Above him, if you want to take advantage of Jordan Hill in a one-on-one confrontation, even if Jordan Hill is not a very good big man, even Perkins cannot guarantee it.
The moment the two bodies were about to collide, Kevin Durant's body suddenly twisted like a twist, leaving his back to Jordan Hill. His movement was very sudden.
, Jordan Hill is obviously not prepared enough, but it is no wonder that Jordan Hill, in such a situation, wants to turn around in the air, which is not something ordinary players can do.
Jordan Hill's right hand slapped Kevin Durant hard on the left shoulder. The latter's figure suddenly trembled, but before he was pressed to the floor by Jordan Hill, a hand came out from
A basketball stuck out from the gap between the two of them, and a basketball magically appeared in this hand. With a slight pick, the ball fell steadily into the frame.
"Wow", there was no greater blow to Jordan Hill than this. Despite his best efforts to block, the ball still went in, and he even gave the opponent a chance to hit a three-pointer.
Popovich just shook his head helplessly. Jordan Hill's defense was already in place on that goal just now. But Kevin Durant's overbearing goal made all his efforts in vain.
