"Rose broke through, and in the end, he shot... no, he passed the ball to Noah, and it flew up and it was a slam dunk.
Beautiful breakthrough points, Rose is so strong, he can not only eat himself, but also help others eat him. "
…
"pretty!
It was Rose again, playing a pick-and-roll with Boozer.
In, out, in and out, toying with the Thunder's defense.
Then, Boozer showed that he was a good guy, using elite mid-range shots to teach the Thunder's defense how to behave.
The game was too reasonable, too steady, Rose dominated the game..."
…
Entering the fourth quarter, Rose exploded again. When the Thunder's defensive energy was attracted to himself, he then stopped shooting and supplied ammunition to his teammates, leading to his teammates' offense.
The score difference has reached 15 points, and, in the words of Doudizhu, "There is no use delaying time." This is an unbreakable truth, but it was still broken by the Bulls.
In Rose's control, delaying time is indeed useful.
Especially with a 15-point lead, Rose still stayed on the court and basically had no rest since the third quarter.
How could it be unstable?
The Bulls with Rose and the Bulls without Rose are two different levels of teams.
Tom Thibodeau saw clearly. In the second quarter, Rose was given a 6-minute rest, and then went through the intermission time, giving Rose enough time to fill up his physical fuel tank. For the rest of the game, Rose could continue Stay on the court and finish the game.
Sure enough, this operation prevented the Thunder's counterattack from making any trouble.
Neither Durant nor Westbrook seems to be in a hurry about falling behind.
Still playing the same way.
If you can do it by yourself, you won't bother your teammates. Even if your condition is stretched, you will still be the same boy as before, without any change.
Then the music was played, and then Blind Jiba threw random shots.
Needless to say, the Thunder's two young men are indeed extremely talented. Even if they are not online, they can still score with their visible talents.
It's just a pity. Compared with those individuals who score three or five points, what's the point?
The pace of the game was deep, but the Bulls took control.
However, the two young men of the Thunder are still struggling with the quality of their personal data. What do you want to support?
The two young masters of Lei Lei are not in a hurry, and neither is Su Bei.
If you have a chance, shoot it, if you don't have a chance, just watch it.
He doesn't care how the regular season goes, he just wants to work hard in the playoffs.
Two people only care about personal data, one only cares about playing in the playoffs, and the other Harden can only play a supporting role. He doesn't even know what he cares about and can only take things as they come...
On the court, the Thunder team looked like they were chasing points in a lively manner. In fact, it was just a fierce operation. Looking at the score again, they were still lagging behind by 250 points.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
After all, 106 to 97, the Bulls had a 9-point advantage, defeated the Thunder, and gave the opponent a 2-game losing streak.
Durant made 9 of 22 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 30 points, 3 assists, and 6 rebounds. The efficiency is not important. The key is to show the scoring champion and continue to put pressure on Kobe.
Westbrook made 8 of 20 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 6 assists, and 8 rebounds. Rounding out the triple-double performance, it was pretty good.
Su Bei made 9 of 15 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 28 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds. His performance was mediocre. As a senior role player, you can say loudly that the team lost. , I didn’t lose!
The Thunder's Big Three, just looking at the data, don't look like they will lose.
It's just a pity that he met the super god Rose. He made 13 of 20 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, scored 40 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. He played the regular season MVP, which is really unworthy.
Under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls are more like a team, while the Thunder, under the leadership of the two young men, are in disarray. They rely too much on their personal offensive performance and their defense is useless. The game was not unfairly lost.
The road trip in the Eastern Conference ended with two consecutive losses, but the Thunder did not panic. With a record of 35 wins and 5 losses, they still ranked first in the league and seemed to be able to afford to lose one or two games.
Moreover, there are really not many opponents who are truly capable of defeating the Thunder.
Next, back at home, the Thunder immediately slaughtered the Mavericks to end their losing streak.
Subsequently, he continued to attack strongly, defeating the Suns, Hornets, Rockets, Cavaliers and Bobcats respectively, and won 5 consecutive victories.
It's just a pity that the Thunder lost the most important battle completely.
March 16, Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Thunder are at home and full of confidence to challenge the Spurs.
In the first two rounds of the match, the Thunder and Spurs ended in a 1-1 draw.
As one of the biggest imaginary enemies in the Western Theater.
The Thunder have always wanted to find confidence and presence in the Spurs. Everyone knows that the Thunder are not only brave in the regular season, but also very capable in the playoffs.
It is particularly important to play against the elite Spurs team, so that you can claim your strength and possibility of competing for the championship.
However, at the beginning of the first quarter, the Spurs taught the Thunder how to behave.
At this time, the Spurs have completed the upgrade of the old-for-new lineup.
Leonard and Danny Green were both put into the starting lineup.
A new lineup of Dirk Ambler, Duncan, Leonard, Danny Green, and Parker was released.
Under Leonard's strong defense, Durant's offense was useless again.
Why do you say "again"?
The question is about the last duel. Although Durant beat Leonard in the first half, after adapting to Durant's length in the second half, Durant couldn't attack hard.
Tonight's game continued the rhythm of the second half of the previous game.
Durant was guarded by Leonard from the beginning.
When he gets the ball from the outside and wants to be a triple threat, Leonard doesn't do that at all. He directly presses, using his abnormal wingspan and strong body to teach Durant a lesson and pester Durant. .
The outside pull-up, with Leonard's interference, couldn't find the shooting rhythm at all.
Durant, who has no back, can only bet that he is covering his eyes and has no rhythm. Is there a bullet in his mid-range shot pistol?
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
In this situation, if death is not coming, how can there be shooting feel and bullets?
Durant got into Leonard's defensive rhythm and missed one after another outside shots.
Then, as a face-to-basket shooter, there was only one way for Huashan to break through with the ball.
Sure enough, Durant's attack was predicted, he broke through and immediately ran into Duncan's defense.
At this time, Leonard is still a rookie after all, and his reputation is not great, but his defensive ability is really strong. This is the guy he feeds off.
Duncan's defense is the ceiling of the league. Durant has no advantage at all in terms of physical talent except for being able to shoot and hang around.
1 of 5. In the first quarter of the game, Durant was frustrated.
If Westbrook beats Parker, Hong Kong still has an advantage, but you can’t shoot?
The Spurs' zone defense locked up Westbrook.
However, when they found out that Westbrook had no shooting touch, the Spurs actually put away their zone defense and only allowed Parker to defend alone?
Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws?
Who do you look down on?
Parker's physical talent can be used to test the cadres... no, is it to test Westbrook?
Who can't stand such a test?
Then, Westbrook started a brainless singles mode. After all, he had an advantage against Parker.
Kobe did it too.
There was a time when the Spurs also let Kobe Bryant play.
However, Kobe's offensive firepower can defeat the Spurs.
Westbrook's offense was not enough to feed a cat, but he couldn't defeat the Spurs. In the end, he had no choice but to be defeated by the Spurs.
4 of 9, 2 of 2 free throws, 10 points in a single quarter, Westbrook's offense looks pretty good.
But, I looked at Westbrook’s assists.
Good guy, really good guy!
He is also a ruthless person!
It actually hangs directly to zero.
A point guard, no assists, all the scoring tasks are done by himself.
It's not surprising that the game was beaten.
The Spurs were not used to them and beat the Thunder with a score of 30 to 19, taking an 11-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Spurs changed their approach.
Now this Spurs team has changed. Without Ginobili, they actually played against the Thunder.
Then, the team that was defeated turned out to be the Thunder.
The Spurs beat the Thunder again, 35-29, expanding by 6 points.
It's too strong. This is an unreasonable Spurs team, but it's also a Spurs team that's too reasonable to stand up to.
It's obviously a defensive team, but it's so brave in attack.
Hong Kong theory, is this unreasonable?
Shouldn't the Spurs grind their position, play with the rhythm, and slowly wear down the Thunder?
Who would have thought that the Spurs still have a coquettish side, using their offense to challenge the Thunder, but the Thunder were defeated.
】
But it also makes sense!
The question is that everyone is on the same team, quick passing and cutting, shooting when there is an opportunity, accurate mid-range shot, and the Thunder team can't find North.
Moreover, three-point shooting is also available.
The Thunder's defense simply cannot withstand the Spurs, who have such strong execution ability.
Yes, when the Thunder charged up and showed their physical talent, the Spurs did look like they couldn't stand it. But after a quick operation, the Spurs, who had a very high offensive efficiency, looked like they were being beaten, but in terms of points, they were beaten. It's always expanding.
What a hell!
At the end of the first half, this Spurs team with a different style of play defeated the Thunder offensively and gained a 17-point lead, setting the course for the game.
In the end, 114 to 105, the Spurs had a 9-point advantage and gave the Thunder another defeat.
Although the record of 40 wins and 6 losses still ranks first in the league, the gap with the Heat is getting closer and closer.
The loss to the Spurs was forgivable.
After all, the Spurs are stable and the water inside is deep.
However, the Thunder inexplicably lost to the rebuilding Jazz.
Even lost to the Rockets.
This season, the Thunder have billions of points, and the feeling of robbing the rich and giving to the poor has made Su Bei realize a lot.
It turns out that this is how they can brush data.
To beat a weak team, you just want to roam around casually, without setting up defenses, and focus your energy on offense.
It was actually a 50-50 situation.
Then, the core players can legitimately stay on the court and continue to work hard.
But the weak team had a great time playing all kinds of random kills, and sometimes the Thunder simply couldn't withstand it.
Since they had no defense, they could only use offensive firepower to suppress them, but with their full offensive firepower, it was impossible, absolutely impossible, to suppress them.
When the Thunder tried their best, there was no going back, and there was not much time left for the Thunder.
At that time, the more anxious you are, the worse your shooting will be. What will you do to fight?
Those who are really working hard to be number one in the league can use those bad teams at the bottom.
Their lives were at stake, and they fought hard and let go. Sometimes they became braver and braver.
The loss in Game 7 and Game 8 also followed suit.
Finally, in a head-to-head confrontation with the Heat, the Thunder defeated the Heat with a score of 103 to 87 and retained the first place in the regular season.
In the March schedule, the Thunder's record became 42 wins and 8 losses, leading the Thunder, which was 42 wins and 9 losses, by one and a half games.
However, the Thunder's top spot was retained, and Durant was overtaken as the regular season MVP by James.
Moreover, Durant was slightly overtaken by Kobe as the scoring leader.
When the schedule ends in March, Durant's personal honor is under great threat.
Kobe Bryant, once the number one player in the league, and James, who is now about to become the number one player, both suppress Durant, the third person.
