.....................
After listening to Brooks' arrangement, Zhao Chen returned to the hotel and watched the Warriors' video over and over again.
Thinking about how to play against the Warriors tomorrow.
Durant relies heavily on his shooting. If his right wrist is injured, the impact will be more serious in the past few days.
The Warriors are not a weakling. It will be difficult for him and Westbrook to win the game alone.
Zhao Chen entered the system.
Without much thought, I just spent 50 victory points to buy "[Fiery Feel (Advanced)]".
No senior person can handle such a big scene.
After spending 50 victory points, it would take several games to earn them back. Zhao Chen still felt a little distressed.
But he couldn't bear to let his children catch the wolf. In order to win, Zhao Chen could only pay these prices.
Zhao Chen has experienced [Fiery Feel (Advanced)], and it feels very good.
As Zhao Chen's own strength improves, the role of the hot touch will become greater and greater.
These victory points were earned by Zhao Chen's hard work, and Zhao Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with using plug-ins.
The system is who he is, his talent.
Durant is half useless, Ibaka is absent, and Zhao Chen can only use his trump card.
...........
The Western Conference finals were very fierce, and the same was true in the Eastern Conference. The Heat and the Pacers tied 1-1.
The Pacers created a lot of problems for the Heat. During the game, Hibbert and George exploded every game. In many cases, the Pacers were suppressing the Heat.
The media and fans seemed to see a hint of fatigue in the Heat.
In NBA history, it is extremely difficult to create a dynasty.
Players who have won championships for two consecutive years tend to lose their desire for championships.
Without these desires, it is easy to not work hard enough in key games.
Many times, you can't win if you don't work hard enough.
.........
After the Warriors defeated the Thunder on the road, they gained a huge advantage in public opinion.
The Golden State media industry itself is more developed than Oklahoma City.
Ibaka's absence allowed the Warriors media and fans to see the possibility of defeating the Thunder in the series.
On the day of the G2 game, there was no news about Durant's injury. Everyone in the Thunder and the staff who knew about it tacitly kept silent about it.
In terms of tactical arrangements, Coach Brooks also focused on assigning the main tactics to Zhao Chen, and then emphasized that everyone must work hard to defend.
Against the Warriors, defense is the top priority. At Zhao Chen's suggestion, Brooks chose to let Adams and Robertson start.
.......
Oracle Center.
7pm.
The G3 game of the Western Conference Finals started here.
Compared with the small market in Oklahoma City, the market in Oakland is obviously larger.
The sidelines were filled with Silicon Valley elites, and Zhao Chen even met a few big investors.
The Warriors have become stronger and stronger in recent years, and more and more fans are willing to buy tickets to support this team.
Warm-up completed, equipment put on, exit ceremony.
Zhao Chen appeared on the stage amidst boos.
"Hey, Kenny, did you see, KD has his wrist on?" Charles said.
"I also saw that his shooting posture was a little weird." Kenny Smith said.
Durant has received too many flashes, and it is easy to detect as long as there is some abnormality.
Mark Jackson also discovered the anomaly, but he made no adjustments.
Even if Durant's wrist is injured, would he dare to let it go?
Don't dare!
That guy is the regular season MVP.
"If you feel bad, just give me the ball." Zhao Chen took the initiative to find Durant and said.
"Well, I know, I won't force it." Durant nodded.
After the appearance ceremony, Brooks emphasized the tactics: "Let me say one more thing. Try to give the end of today's tactics to Zhao. Zhao will handle the offense. Russell, your breakthrough must be launched. You can go inside to create more damage and reduce outside shots. ....”
Everyone in the Thunder is nodding. The tactical arrangements have been laid out in the locker room, and now they are just mentioned briefly.
Brooks' meaning is also very clear. This game can only rely on Zhao Chen and Westbrook. Durant's role is to paddle and distract the opponent's attention.
Thunder starting lineup: Westbrook, Zhao Chen, Durant, Robertson, Adams.
Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, David Lee, Bogut.
"The Thunder have rotated two people in the starting lineup. Robertson and Adams are under great defensive pressure inside. They need to withstand David Lee and Bogut. Zhao Chen's touch was average in the last game. It seems that his touch can come back after the away game. His performance is crucial to the Thunder. If he feels bad, with this lineup, the Thunder will have a high probability of losing." Zhang Weiping boasted.
On the court, looking at Curry on the opposite side, Zhao Chen's eyes gradually became cold.
"Use [Fiery Feel (Advanced)]"!
A familiar feeling came over. This was not the first time Zhao Chen felt his hands getting warm.
This feeling makes him full of confidence, a feeling that can only be felt when surrendering.
The game is about to begin.
All major TV stations, Internet live broadcast platforms, text live broadcast bars, Hupu text live broadcasts... are all ready.
Amid the din, the referee threw the ball high.
Adams and Bogut jumped to their feet.
Adams, who was making his first start in the Western Conference Finals, was very excited. He touched the basketball first and passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen and Westbrook are both point guards on the court. Whoever gets the ball can control it. Zhao Chen has a higher priority than Westbrook.
As Zhao Chen advanced, bursts of boos erupted from the scene.
"Rookie, go back to Oklahoma City!"
"Asians are not suitable for playing basketball."
"Your resistance is too weak!"
"Yellow men can't play ball."
The fans were full of abuse against Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen plays here, and he is used to these scenes with racist remarks.
Happy education is implemented here, and the mouth always speaks faster than the brain. It is difficult to expect them to be of high quality.
Zhao Chen is not afraid of away games. He likes to kill his opponents in this environment. It feels very good.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the top of the key.
After briefly directing the ball with Westbrook twice, Zhao Chen waved to pull away.
Zhao Chen and Westbrook guide the ball to let him enjoy the game, so as not to be passive defensively.
Thunder players dispersed.
The Warriors still use Thompson's single defense.
After the last game, the Warriors are not afraid of Zhao Chen's singles. They feel that the Thunder's singles tactics have not changed enough and are easier to guard against.
Instead of letting Zhao Chen guide his teammates, it is better to let Zhao Chen play well.
Zhao Chen also understood the Warriors' defensive intentions.
Single defense?
Then he's going to go on a killing spree!
Facing Thompson, Zhao Chen began to frequently change his rhythm by hitting the ground with his crotch.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhao Chen's crotch continuously hit Thompson's defensive steps.
Thompson opened his hands, trying to prevent Zhao Chen's breakthrough and shooting.
However, the result of both trying to defend against them is that neither of them can defend against them.
Zhao Chen first took a step forward from the right. When Thompson thought Zhao Chen was about to break through, Zhao Chen took another step back! !
Thompson wanted to follow, but the floor was too slippery today, so he slipped and fell.
Zhao Chen stepped back to collect the ball, and after calmly looking down at Thompson, Zhao Chen took a three-pointer! !
Very easy, the basketball draws a wonderful arc! !
"Uh-huh!"
3 to 0! !
