In the evening, Zhao Chen watched the G5 game between the Warriors and the Clippers.
The Warriors won the crucial Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
This is the Warriors' third consecutive victory.
When watching Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Iguodala, and Draymond Green leave Paul, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and others helpless on the court, Zhao Chen saw the beginning of the rise of a super warrior.
The Warriors are living up to their potential.
The Warriors have a 3-2 lead, which also means that as long as the Warriors win the G6 game, the Thunder's opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be determined.
Two days later, no surprises.
The Warriors relied on their three-game winning streak to defeat the Clippers at home.
Chris Paul unfortunately stopped in the Western Conference semifinals again.
The Warriors eventually became the Thunder's Western Conference Finals opponent.
The Thunder have home court advantage in the Western Conference Finals.
Zhao Chen fell into silence after knowing the result at home.
The Spurs, who won the championship in the previous life, were killed by the Warriors in the first round, and the Warriors then killed the Clippers, who were supposed to eliminate them in the previous life.
Zhao Chen's butterfly effect has changed his fate again and again. Compared with the Thunder, the potential of the Warriors is no exaggeration.
Zhao Chen knows that there are only warriors in the West who can challenge the Thunder.
They have a super giant, a variety of talents, potential, and a complete staffing.
The only difference between them and the 73-win Warriors is the maturity of their players. The overall core members have not changed much.
The opponent was very strong, but Zhao Chen was vaguely excited.
When Zhao Chen was excited, he received a text message on his phone. Zhao Chen picked up the phone and saw that it was Curry.
"Zhao, thank you for your guidance. Next, please accept my challenge!"
After seeing the content of the text message, Zhao Chen smiled.
He has cultivated a powerful enemy for himself!
........
"Zhao Chen reveals his rumored girlfriend!" 》
"Zhao Chen logged into a live broadcast program and called the beautiful anchor! 》
"Stephen Curry averaged 5 three-pointers per game in the Western Conference semifinals!" 》
"The showdown of the future, the Splash Brothers challenge the Big Three of the Thunder!" 》
"External explosion? Zhao Chen faces the strongest outside challenge. 》
"Thunder VS Warriors, this may be the main show in the Western Conference for the next five seasons. 》
"The Western Conference Finals stage a youth storm!" ! 》
the next day.
The atmosphere about the Western Conference Finals is gradually getting heated.
Compared with the old faces of the Lakers, Mavericks, and Spurs, the Thunder and Warriors are both young teams.
Young fans like these two teams more than the traditional giants, and they also represent young people.
Fans continue to have heated discussions about this group.
"Zhao Chen has encountered three-point shooting opponents. Stephen Curry is very accurate, and Klay Thompson. Together, these two are the players who hit the most three-pointers among the duo."
"The Thunder's perimeter defense is under great pressure. I look forward to seeing a game like this."
"Come on Zhao Chen, Thunder is invincible."
"The Thunder's insiders won't suffer too much. Bogut and Green don't have strong offensive power, but their coverage is quite solid and their defense is also very strong."
"David Lee didn't do well against Ibaka, he was easily restrained."
"I look forward to Zhao Chen reaching the finals in his rookie season. Come on Thunder!!"
"Thunder Championship!!"
Fans are discussing the Western Conference Finals in forums and post bars.
Soon, Thunder and Warriors players were also arguing on the Internet.
"Green: Zhao Chen? I want him to enjoy being frozen. Stephen and Clay can shoot him out."
"Iguodala: Defending KD is a good challenge. I am confident that I can beat him."
"Westbrook: Sweep, my goal is to sweep them."
"Ibaka: "KD, Zhao, and Russell will blow them away. No matter who the opponent is, we will win easily. ""
"Curry: Zhao Chen is an excellent player and he has given me a lot of help."
"Zhao Chen: The Warriors' perimeter is a huge defensive challenge for us, and I will not underestimate them."
The quality of the players themselves can also be seen from various online speeches.
There are not many Warriors fans now, and most of the domestic fans support the Thunder.
Looking at the one-sided online public opinion, Zhao Chen also found it a bit incredible.
After all, Warriors fans were the ones who dominated everything in the previous life, but now they are suppressed and beaten by Thunder fans.
After all, whoever is stronger will generally have more fans. This is an eternal law.
Many fans are also idlers.
........
After confirming that the Warriors were their opponents in the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder began to make targeted tactical arrangements.
Thanks to their excellent regular season record, the Thunder start every series at home.
This saves them from traveling to a certain extent. In addition, by sweeping the Rockets early, everyone in the Thunder also got a full rest.
In order to keep the tactics secret, the Thunder also closed the training.
After playing two rounds of the series, Brooks is becoming more and more confident in his confidence. What he wants is that all Thunder players can execute his tactics on the court.
The Warriors are unique in that they rank fifth in the league in offensive efficiency and sixth in defensive efficiency.
If the Grizzlies are a team with weak offense and strong defense, and the Rockets are a team with strong offense and weak defense, then the Warriors are a team with integrated offense and defense.
The Warriors' offense and defense are both strong!
Brooks did not take any chances. Facing such a strong enemy, the Thunder also risked a comeback.
The media and fans can use public opinion and position comparison to get the probability of winning, but Brooks cannot. He needs players to use tactical execution on the field to achieve the goal of winning.
Zhao Chen also had similar thoughts. He was deeply impressed by the strength of the warriors in his previous life. Even though the current warriors were not yet peak warriors, that impression was already deeply ingrained.
Now they can't be called five-star warriors, but they are still at the four-star level.
No matter how good Zhao Chen's three-point shooting is now, it can't be said to be superior to Steve Curry.
No matter how strong Durant's offense is, there is no way to face Iguodala as easily as he faced Parsons.
In closed training, Brooks requires every player to strictly follow his instructions. If anyone fails to do it, they will be sprayed.
Especially Westbrook and Zhao Chen, these two are the main defenders of Thompson and Curry.
Curry and Thompson are the kind of players who are excellent at running without the ball and using pick-and-rolls. The defensive players' individual defense ability has little impact on them. It mainly depends on the cooperative defense between teammates.
If the details are not done well, the Thunder will face huge defensive pressure.
This kind of high-intensity training intensity and being scolded from time to time did not make the Thunder feel complaining.
We have reached the Western Conference Finals, and are only one step away from the Finals. This kind of training and pressure are within the range for them.
It's better to get scolded off the court than to make mistakes on the court.
The Warriors are also holding an emergency meeting to study ways to defend the Thunder.
Mark Jackson and the coaching staff are analyzing the offensive characteristics of the Thunder's Big Three.
Videos of the Thunder's games against the Grizzlies and Rockets have been studied repeatedly.
The Thunder are under a lot of pressure up and down, but the Warriors are under even greater pressure!
The power of Thunder is obvious to all!
