Chapter 643 How to play such a game?
G2 of the Western Conference Finals is a replica of G1. The difference is that Durant's touch is not as good as the first game, and Westbrook's state is not as bad as the first game.

Curry's hand feeling has also declined, and the success rate of playing small games has dropped a lot. Donovan insisted on changing defenses, and finally received some results.

After all, the height and wingspan of the inside players are there, which can give Curry more interference, but the decline in Curry's efficiency is only compared with the first game, and he still maintains a three-point shooting rate of more than [-]%, which can't kill the Thunder. , but it can hurt Thunder.

Leonard and Durant launched an air-to-air confrontation. The Thunder's defensive attention was focused on Curry, the super god in G1, and Leonard's singles ability was somewhat ignored.

Regardless of facing Westbrook or Robertson, Leonard can achieve stable singles scoring, and his efficiency is even higher than that of Curry-there are splashes to open up space, the Thunder dare not shrink too much, and rarely cooperate with Leonard. Defend.

Even if he didn't find a mismatch, Leonard was not afraid at all, and directly singled out Durant, using the advantages of strength and confrontation to find scoring opportunities.

Double Star VS Double Star, Curry is far better than Westbrook, Durant is slightly better than Leonard, and the Warriors are slightly better. At this time, it depends on your teammates.

Clay and Antetokounmpo stepped forward, and they didn't score much. Clay scored 16 points and Antetokounmpo scored 12 points, but it was a fatal blow to the Thunder.

Green didn't score much, only 6 points, but he played a very important role on the defensive end, assisting defense, frame protection, single defense...supporting the Warriors' five small defensive system, it is the strongest shield of the Warriors.

Zhang Yu also adopts the strategy of unlimited defense changes, but he will also take advantage of the Thunder's spatial disadvantages to give full play to the advantages of the Warriors' dead five players with strong mobility and excellent defense assistance. On the defensive end, they will create a number of poor numbers, strengthen defensive aggression, and make mistakes. Push back and play the offensive rhythm that the Warriors are most familiar with.

The Warriors' core five worked together and performed their duties, but the Thunder only had Durant and Westbrook shining.

Although the two scored 31 points and 28 points respectively, except for Ibaka who scored 15 points piecemeal, there was no other player who scored in double figures. The offense was weak, and finally lost to the Warriors 95:106, a big score of 0:2 behind.

Curry scored 32 points, Leonard 23 points, and the two of them scored together, but Clay had 16 points, Antetokounmpo had 12 points, Bogdan had 10 points, and the five Warriors scored in double figures. Once achieved victory.

After the game, Durant returned to the hotel, looking at his score that was almost the same as that of Curry, his face was cloudy.

Their performances were similar, but the Warriors won and the Thunder lost, for obvious reasons.

After losing to the Warriors in the last game, Durant was very dissatisfied with Westbrook, thinking that he was holding back. If Westbrook can play better, the Thunder will definitely win.

But today, Westbrook's performance is good enough, with a large double-double of 28 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, only 4 turnovers, and the shooting percentage is above 45%. For Westbrook, it is absolutely extraordinary play.

But the Thunder still lost the game. Except for him, Westbrook and Ibaka, the highest scorer was Gobert—he scored 8 points by eating cakes, which was in stark contrast to the Warriors who scored in double figures with five players. .

And this kind of performance is not a special case. In G1 Thunder, only Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka scored in double figures. Facing the Warriors' infinite defense changes, everyone else lacked scoring ability.

Durant suddenly discovered that it seemed that only he and Westbrook were in a hot state and performed supernormally at the same time, so that they could win with such a lineup. As long as one person is not in good shape, or even just in good shape, it will be difficult for the Thunder to win.

This discovery made Durant a little desperate, but the statistics table was in front of him. Clay and Antetokounmpo scored in double figures in two consecutive games. Bogdan scored 8 points in the first game and 10 points in the second game. With the strength of the double figures, if there is no accident, their performance in this round of the series will be stable at this level.

Coupled with the 30+ and 20+ basic sets of Curry and Leonard, the Warriors' offensive firepower is very fierce. The rest of the Thunder can't count on it, and they can only rely on Durant and Westbrook to fill the gap.

Oh, by the way, Clay is not just as simple as scoring in double figures, he also has the ability to score 20 points, three 20+ scorers...

Snapped!
Durant slammed the statistical form in his hand on the table, and leaned back, feeling an urge to curse.

Who can tell him how to play such a game? !

……

No one knows what kind of mental journey Durant has gone through. On the second day, he seemed to regain his confidence, calmly boarded the special plane, and returned to Oklahoma.

At the same time, the fierce battle between the Cavaliers and the Heat finally came to a conclusion.

When the Warriors advanced to the Western Conference Finals, the Heat still trailed the Cavaliers 1:2, but then in Game 4, Wade scored 35 points and led the Heat to successfully defend their home court, tying the score to a 2:2 tie.

The Cavaliers' defeat was like a thunderbolt, which brought suspense to the series again, and also made the outside world's doubts about James reach its peak.

The Warriors, Thunder, and Bulls either swept their opponents, or they were gentlemen who swept their opponents and easily advanced to the division finals. The Cavaliers are the Big Three's paper lineup, but they have to fight the Heat in the second round. They are the worst performers among the four giants.

James abandoned Wade and Bosh at the beginning because he felt that staying in the Heat had no hope of winning the championship. As a result, he brought two new brothers and was tied by Wade, an old brother. His original decision seemed so ridiculous .

Even Cavaliers fans began to question James' strength.

The 18-year-old with unlimited potential is the young emperor, but the emperor who has not ascended the throne until the age of 30, can he still be called the emperor?

People suddenly remembered that Wade was the first star of the 03 generation to win the championship. Compared with the little emperor who has never been enthroned, he is the Flash who once ruled the world.

All of a sudden, the Internet was ridiculed against James, and Wade received extremely high praise.

However, this carnival lasted for a short period of time, and Wade's state cannot continue to be hot. Time and injuries have taken away his lightning speed. Without Bosh's help, Wade has won two games at home. It's the limit.

In G5, Wade scored only 18 points. The Cavaliers beat the Heat 105:91 at home and won the battle of Tianwangshan.

In G6, that is, one day after the Warriors won G2 in the Western Conference Finals, James broke out and scored 35 points. Wade only scored 21 points. The Cavaliers defeated the Heat 113:102 away and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a big score of 4:2.

Rose and James met in the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. James led 3:2. The two will compete for the last spot in the finals.

The theme of this year's playoffs is superstar confrontation + encounter with old enemies.

After Kobe retired, Curry, James, Durant, and Rose were the four most popular superstars in the league. Leonard, Clay, Westbrook, Butler, and Irving were all extremely popular stars. There are many grievances and grievances, with intricate relationships.

This kind of duel is the most eye-catching, and it is also the situation that Xiao Hua most hopes to see.

After the Warriors, Thunder, and Bulls were promoted one after another, the smile on Xiao Hua's face never stopped. The entanglement between the Cavaliers and the Heat also made him feel very good, and even fueled the flames, helping the Heat.

If it wasn't for Xiao Hua's shot, the Heat wouldn't win so easily at home.

After the Cavaliers were promoted, Xiao Hua's spirit became more and more excited. The four superstars of the league gathered together, the stars gathered, the entanglement of grievances, and the battle of revenge

... This is a story that is once in a millennium in Hollywood!
As the great director and trader of the NBA, how can Xiao Hua easily let go of such material?

The Eastern Conference finals haven't started yet, and it's in the stage of publicity and momentum, so it can be ignored for now, but the Western Conference Finals has played two games, and the Warriors lead 2:0. It's time for him to make a move.

To be honest, Silver has complicated feelings about the Warriors team.

He likes the small ball era brought by Curry very much, which coincides with the league's strategy of developing offense. The only pity is that he is not a player under Nike.

He also appreciates Zhang Yu's ability. Zhang Yu has discovered many rookies with outstanding potential and cultivated many capable players. He is a well-deserved top coach.

But he doesn't like the Warriors' rule over the league. This kind of dominance is not conducive to the development of the league.

He doesn't like that the Warriors win every round of the series so cleanly, and tickets and advertising fees are greatly reduced.

And the last two points are fatal. No matter how much Xiao Hua appreciates Curry and Zhang Yu, he can only continue to shoot the Warriors-who told him not to sign Nike, and the Warriors are too strong?

Most importantly, Zhang Yu is still a Chinese.

The superposition of multiple debuffs makes the Warriors always be punished for a few disgusting games in the playoffs, which has become an annual repertoire.

Good people should be pointed at guns. This is Xiao Hua's logic, and it is also the logic of the United States-Morey's tweet is freedom of speech, and Owen just hurt the feelings of the Jews.

In G3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors once again experienced the feeling of being away from home like a cemetery.

Durant and Westbrook, two superstars who are already good at drawing fouls, are even more powerful with the blessing of home court advantage, and their strength has greatly increased.

He quickly led the Thunder to a double-digit lead.

The Warriors struggled to resist, but the referee directly drew his salary from the bottom of the pot. Curry received 4 fouls in the first half, and his playing time was fragmented. The Warriors were still unable to play a limited offense.

Not long after the start of the second half, Curry received his fifth foul. This time, Zhang Yu no longer compromised, and the referee called Curry 5 fouls if he had the ability. Anyway, he just didn't want to replace Curry!

As a result, Curry stayed on the court with 5 fouls in the second half, and the Warriors fans watched his every move with fear, fearing that the referee would suddenly blow his whistle and send him off.

Zhang Yu's move had an effect. Everyone was staring at Curry's actions, and the referee didn't dare to risk the world's dissatisfaction by sending Curry off the court.

Moreover, Curry pays great attention to his movements. Many times he would rather let the opponent go than to make a move, without giving the referee a chance.

Under the leadership of Curry, the Warriors regained the lost ground little by little and recovered the point difference.

第四节4分21秒，勇士以96：103落后雷霆7分，比赛进入了最后时刻。
