I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 541 Guessed the beginning correctly, but basketball is not counting, delaying time is useless!

June 6, Chesapeake Center Arena.

In the G2012 game on the floor of the Western Conference Finals in 6, the Thunder returned to the home court and wanted to turn the two chasing three into a two chasing four, and won the Western Conference championship and tickets to the finals.

Before the game, media opinion was also one-sidedly optimistic that the Thunder would advance to four games in a row, giving them an [-]-[-] winning percentage.

Thunder eight, Spurs two! !

"The Spurs seem to be a Western Conference finals team, but his opponent, the Thunder is a finals team, this talented team, it is also time to bring their talents to the finals stage..."

However, when the first quarter started, the Spurs looked more like a team that wanted to advance to the finals, while the Thunder did not.

"Too hard!!
This tenacity is unstoppable!

Never underestimate the heart of a championship, especially when the team's name is still called the Spurs.

They're so good at playing in the playoffs..."

The Spurs still use the starting lineup that lost in the G5 game, that is, Duncan, Diaw, Leonard, Ginobili, and Parker.

Ginobili continued to be promoted to the starting lineup, and Yaodao did not live up to the team's trust in him.

On the first attack, he showed the confidence that he must win. After taking the ball and making three threats, he saw Su Bei defending his breakthrough, and immediately raised his hand and hit a three-pointer...

Swish-!
3 to 0! !
Next, it was Parker's performance moment, playing pick-and-rolls with Duncan in a row, and then splitting the ball, assisting Duncan to hit two consecutive mid-range points.

"The Spurs played so easy!

There is no way!
Spurs tonight, great shooting..."

Princeton tactics, they seem to be too lazy to run anymore, they are playing simple pick-and-roll tactics.

After the dislocation, the player then resolutely made a mid-range shot.

Offensive, that saves time and effort.

After losing a championship-caliber defense, the Spurs became a jump-shooting team.

When Duncan made consecutive hits and the Thunder put the defense back on Duncan, Parker used the pick-and-roll tactics to play the music again, and then made a mid-range shot...

Swish-!
……

Swish-!
What is CIC Shenzhun?

Parker is called the CIC.

In the first quarter of the game, Parker's state exploded, playing superstar capital, 10 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 3 of 2 free throws, 17 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter. What do you get? Come to the top?
You can't stand it.

Westbrook was lost in the Spurs' pick-and-roll tactics, and Parker showed him that he couldn't find the North, and he had nowhere to put his strength.

仅仅给出6投3中，罚球2中2，8分2助攻2篮板战力输出。

However, Westbrook was the best statistically in the first quarter.

"The Thunder think too much!

They paid the price for their youth, thinking that after winning three consecutive cities, the Spurs' mentality would collapse and the Thunder would easily defeat their opponents.

Unexpectedly, the Spurs fought harder and dared to show their swords.

On the contrary, the Thunder, who wanted to win and were afraid of losing, played timidly, completely out of their usual rhythm and state. "

"Du Shao, Westbrook, Ha Shao who came off the bench, and Yi Shao...

The so-called Thunder Four all made mistakes in the first quarter, and the Spurs only made one mistake.

Moreover, taking advantage of the Thunder's mistakes, the Spurs scored 3 goals in [-] opportunities, and the conversion of scoring opportunities was too efficient.

However, Su Bei, the only one with multiple championship experience, has disappeared..."

Blame me?
Su Bei was helpless.

Offensively, whether it is Westbrook or Du Shao, they have a strong desire to perform individually. If they want to be the hero who leads the team to the finals, North Jiangsu can't touch basketball at all.

Defensively, the Spurs play very simple, all pick-and-roll tactics, and mainly focus on Duncan and Parker.

Regardless of whether it is Ibaka or Westbrook, they are all helpless against the unsolvable pick-and-roll tactics of Duncan and Parker.

In addition to Parker making 10 of 7 shots, Duncan also made 5 of 3 shots. The two scored 23 points together. How can he defend?Why not stealth?
Durant assisted in the defense, but Parker scored the ball, and Leonard also hit a three-point jumper.

There are medium and long distances, and it is impossible to defend. This is not a problem of being too weak in personal and tactics, but too strong and too incomprehensible.

In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs made 6 of 4 three-pointers. Whether it was three-pointers or two-pointers, the shooting percentage was frighteningly high.

After the first quarter, the Thunder were beaten to pieces, and the Spurs led by 34 to 20 by virtue of their jump shots.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder trailed by 14 points!
And this is not the scariest thing. After all, the Spurs are very tough offensively, which the Thunder have experienced.

But the Spurs' stamina is not enough, which is also what the Thunder have learned from the situation of chasing two and three.

However, during the rotation in the second quarter, the Thunder were unable to recover the point difference. Instead, the Spurs expanded the score.

Parker lost his superstar appearance in the first quarter, but the Thunder didn't know it, and they didn't dare to let it go, so that Parker could easily attract the defense and deliver firepower to his teammates.

"The Spurs bench did a great job!

武圣杰克逊打出了马刺队想要他扮演的角色的样子，3投3中，三分球3中3，单节轰下了9分1篮板。

Gary Neal also shot very well, 3 of 2 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and 6 points.

The two big boards are on the bandits, plus the output of the GDP combination scoring 14 points, the Spurs continued to fire in the rotation battle..."

After the second quarter, the Spurs beat the Thunder with a score of 29 to 28.

At the end of the first half, the score was 63 to 48. The Spurs turned away and entered the locker room to rest with a 15-point lead.

Subei made 1 for 0 from the field in the first quarter, feeling lonely!
There were more opportunities in the second quarter. He made 3 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points in a single quarter. His performance was okay.

It's just a pity that the Spurs' defensive tactics have succeeded. Perhaps, very likely, the Thunder also like this situation.

The question is that the Thunder have fallen into various individual singles situations again.

The Thunder basically had no assists, and they no longer played as a team.

There is no overall atmosphere of chasing the third after the second handicap. If there is, it is the atmosphere and rhythm of the second handicap. The team's offense is divided into various individual singles.

However, Du Shao and Westbrook enjoyed it so much, thinking that they could solve the Spurs with their personal abilities.

However, the Spurs put away the complicated and "unqualified" Princeton system, and only played simple and labor-saving pick-and-roll tactics plus simple breakthrough points, and then put the remaining energy on defense, putting the Thunder in an infinite In singles mode.

This is called experience!

And the Thunder didn't even bother to copy their previous winning homework.

You deserve it because you're behind in the traffic jam, why don't you drive a Mazda?

I bother!

……

After 15 minutes of recuperation, the game came back in the second half. The two sides started the main force, then played music, and then fought again.

The Thunder have the ball.

"Westbrook took the ball up the court and continued to be his bruiser.

Parker fought and retreated, waiting for his teammates to shrink and defend.

Westbrook dribbles the ball up to meet the man... no, halfway up, doesn't shoot, but divides the ball into the right three-point corner, which makes sense.

The Thunder team, which was 15 points behind, needed to grab a three-pointer. Su Bei received the ball. He was empty, lifted the ball, and hit Ginobili, who flew back, turned around and dribbled the ball. "

Boom, swish—!
Subei didn't bet on the three-point shot, but scored two points steadily.

63 to 50! !
The point difference became 13 points.

“Very nice!!
Whether it's Su Bei's steady style of play or Westbrook's reasonable style of play, the Thunder look different.

They played more together.

This is the formula for the Thunder to make the two chase three successful.

Next, it depends on whether the Spurs can control the scene?

They grabbed the start, whether they can take advantage of this score advantage, the most important thing is to hold on..."

Off the court, Bo Povic's face was calm.

Now that the Spurs are actively attacking, and the Thunder are back to winning rhythm, he doesn't panic.

On the field, Parker holds the ball and advances.

There is no rush in the frontcourt.

Basketball, it’s similar to Doudizhu, so it’s useless to procrastinate?

It was just a helpless hello.

Parker directly consumed the time to the last 7 seconds before starting, and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Duncan.

"Duncan reached 21 seconds into the attack time, misplaced against Westbrook's block, raised his hand and made a two-point jumper..."

Faced with this misplaced shot, Westbrook could only listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang-!
The opportunity came out, but Duncan's mid-range shot was useless.

"Basketball strikes wide!
The Spurs obviously pressed the attack time, and the rhythm was not in the original shooting rhythm.

What I play is not basketball anymore, but experience..."

With the help of card forward Ibaka, Subei got the rebound and immediately dribbled forward.

Ginobili pressed, and Subei didn't have a wave. He distributed the ball to Westbrook to continue to speed up and give full play to his physical talent.

The Spurs dragged their time, and the Thunder robbed it.

However, the Spurs predicted the Thunder's move and replaced Parker to press Westbrook.

"Westbrook is not used to Parker, he dribbles the ball like a bulldozer, rolling Parker forward..."

And this is exactly what the Spurs wanted. The pocket defense immediately surrounded Westbrook.

Westbrook went in, but couldn't shoot out.

No way, give the ball to Durant and reorganize.

Leonard immediately rushed over, entangled Durant with death entanglement, and did not hesitate to physically entangle Durant.

"It's the Spurs' goodness and the familiar defensive rhythm.

Time was wasted bit by bit, Durant chose to rush, and the Spurs immediately emptied Ibaka and Perkins, rushed to Durant, and resorted to flanking tactics.

Durant welcomes men?

What the hell?

In the middle of the fight, the teammates thought Durant was going to shoot, but unexpectedly, it was an agreed shot, and they stopped shooting halfway through the fight..."

This ball choice is very reasonable!
But the teammates obviously can't get G.

One AM and one FM are not on the same channel.

Ibaka was facing the basket, stuck in position to grab the basketball, and was ready for a second shot. Durant was aggressive, but not determined enough, hesitating, halfway through the fight, he had to rest for a while, and chose to split the ball.

As a result, Ibaka touched the basketball, and because he was not prepared, he was unstable, and was snatched away by Duncan.

That's fine, what's the matter with taking a break?

Honestly, Durant is still not hard enough!
The possession of the ball fell into the hands of the Spurs, and they continued to procrastinate.

Obscene lock to do not want!

Westbrook was not used to him, so he rushed over to press him immediately. Parker didn't panic and gave the ball to Ginobili. Bei's foul, fortunately, braked in time, and Su Bei didn't suffer.

"Manu Ginobili's shooting action is half done, so I can only continue to act, finish the unfinished shooting action, and make a three-point jump shot..."

Su Bei raised his hands straight up, not giving Ginobili an excuse to make a foul. If he made a three-pointer, he could only admit it.

Bang-dang-!
Ginobili's three-pointer shot missed.

"If the rest of the Thunder were to defend, they would only suffer from Ginobili's losses and would give Ginobili three free throw opportunities for nothing.

Subei was different. His experience was no worse than Ginobili's. Ginobili's attack failed, and he still lost the opportunity to stall for time.

It's just that the data can't reflect it..."

Off the court, Scott Brooks rushed to the court to applaud.

Very satisfied with Subei's defense just now.

If Ginobili is allowed to act and get a free throw opportunity, the morale of the Thunder's counterattack will be hit.

Next, the Thunder's offense.

It was still Westbrook's breakthrough, and Parker couldn't stand it either.

At this time, Ginobili did not dare to let Subei go short, and asked Duncan on the inside to help defend.

"Westbrook throws the ball to Ibaka!
Instead of playing, he gave the ball to Durant who came in through an air cut. He took the ball in the penalty area, jumped up, and was about to hit the basket.

Duncan didn't jump, he didn't dare to give a 2+1 chance, he could only watch Durant blast the basket..."

Bang-dang-!
One-handed dunk, two points scored.

63 to 52! !
Durant's goal made the difference to 11 points.

At this time, the Thunder's offense started, and the Spurs were still in no hurry.

Continue to delay.

Westbrook was in a hurry and started the press, but was called a defensive foul.

"The Spurs are so badass!
There is also no choice, their core lineup is aging, and the role players are young and have no immediate combat power.

Confronting the Thunder is no different from looking for death. Continuing to attack will only consume too much energy, and then you won't even be able to take care of defense.

Put away the offense, focus on defense, control the rhythm of the game in your own hands, and maybe be able to defend the advantage to the end..."

Excessive time-consuming, offensively, has become rough.

Parker handed the basketball to Dior. Dior obviously hesitated, and Perkins completed a personal confrontation. Seeing that there was not much time to attack, he wanted to force a shot, but was blocked and intercepted.

"The Thunder's counter opportunity, Perkins steals the ball and immediately throws the basketball upfield.

Westbrook showed unnatural physical ability, quickly rushed to the front court, got the basketball, took a step to the free throw line, jumped up, and used a quite and ornamental tomahawk dunk to complete the counterattack score..."

Bang-dang-!
Westbrook counterattacked and scored two points.

63 to 54! !
The point difference became 9 points! !

The Spurs are still not in a hurry and continue to stall for time.

Gangzhen, the player on the Spurs team, has really strong execution ability.

It's useless to delay time. The Thunder team succeeded in attacking consecutively, but the Spurs continued to resolutely implement the head coach's tactical arrangements.

Then, dragging the time to the last few seconds, Parker and Duncan played a pick-and-roll tactic, went inside, pressed the buzzer under Ibaka's block, and completed an emergency stop two-point jumper...

Bang-dang-!
"still none!!

The Spurs' unsolvable jumper in the first half was gone.

The Thunder got the rebound, it's an opportunity to continue chasing points..."

Next, although Westbrook felt that he was doing it again, the zombie missed his jumper.

Instead, it was the Spurs' offense that finally, finally got fired.

However, the Spurs' obscene play style of delaying time and pressing the rhythm is still useless.

The offense is basically useless.

On the contrary, the Thunder team let go, full of impact, and played basketball more teamwork.

Westbrook didn't wave anymore, broke through and scored the ball, and assisted Ibaka to score.

Afterwards, Durant broke through and sent the ball to Su Bei from the three-point line. Against Ginobili's block, he made a strong three-pointer.

Swish-!
……

Swish-!
……

The Thunder started the second half, and the offense was unstoppable. In order to delay the time, the Spurs used their own martial arts on offense.

At this time, only 5 minutes into the third quarter, the score was 67 to 62. The Thunder went from 15 points behind to only 5 points behind.

The suspense of the game seems to be still there, but the wind has turned to the Thunder.

Bo Povich's early start in the first half and the lead in the second half seemed reasonable, but basketball doesn't count.

He guessed right at the beginning, but he didn't figure out that the Spurs' delaying efficiency was so poor, but they also lost their offensive state, which was really annoying.
