Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

The storm is coming, June 6th, Oklahoma City, Chesapeake Energy Arena.

G3 of the finals is about to begin, and the local fans in Okura still attach great importance to this battle.

Basically, they brought their entire family with them, and came to the arena early to cheer for the Thunder players.

The atmosphere at the venue was quite good. It was true that the Bulls' United Center was the home of the Devils, and the Thunder's Chesapeake Energy Arena was no less impressive.

With the support of the fans at the scene, the Thunder players swept away the haze of the previous two defeats and played very hard from the first quarter.

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

Whether it's Westbrook breaking through the basket and scoring the ball with difficulty, or Durant standing up for a single, showing his killer qualities, Thunder fans are shouting MVP.

Led by two MVPs, the Thunder's offense was really impressive in the first half.

As for the Bulls players, first of all, they were playing away from home, and secondly, they were somewhat affected by the home fans and the three Thunder non-staff players on the sidelines, so their overall performance was relatively poor.

At halftime, the scores on the scoreboard were 46 to 59, and the Thunder established a 13-point lead early on.

Sometimes, the star finally reaches a mid-range position, and after more than ten seconds, he is like sleepwalking, letting his opponent fly blue, and in the blink of an eye, the two points are sent back.

Originally, the Bulls had been hitting the basket and scoring a lot inside, but now they are shooting three-pointers. How can people defend against this?
Defense wins the championship. The Thunder were able to win the championship last year and compete again with the same configuration this year. This shows that the team's overall defensive level is not bad.

Curry and George, one on the left and one on the right, hit a three-pointer at two 45-degree angles.

The Bulls relied on protecting the rebounds and caught two consecutive counterattacks, and the point difference was suddenly reduced to less than 10 points.

Why is it so difficult for many stars to win championships when they are in their late prime?
Just looking at the data, there is actually no decline, but in the game, once the intensity increases, how to distribute the physical strength becomes a problem.

The problem is that the Bulls have already gained momentum. If they don't call a timeout and press down at this time, the Bulls' offensive firepower will soon burst out.

If they don't attack fiercely in the first three quarters, they might be defeated by the Bulls in the front and they won't be able to survive the Geminis' efforts in the fourth quarter.

If you devote yourself to defense, the offense may be lagging behind.

If the team needs him to score, then the defense will take care of it.

This gap in lineup configuration is not considered by coach Brooks.

But the problem is, the Bulls are too good at attacking and scoring!
If the Thunder wants to win, it is impossible to send all Durant and Westbrook to defend. After all, someone still needs to step up and score.

Now the Thunder are also facing such a problem, how to correctly allocate physical strength between the Thunder Twins.

However, the Bulls forward players have considerable physical advantages. As long as they play transition offense, they have a high probability of success.

If you rely on your efforts in the first half to establish a scoring advantage and focus on defense in the second half to consolidate your advantage, the problem is that the Bulls broke out at a critical moment in the fourth quarter. How should you deal with this?
Durant and Westbrook were unable to maintain offensive efficiency when they lacked physical strength.

At first, the Thunder's firepower could continue, but after two rounds, the power suddenly went out.

First, Duen kept driving to the basket and fed Ibaka and Baibian three cakes in a row.

However, in the third quarter, the Bulls players, under the leadership of Duan, finally returned to normal and showed the game state they had in the first two finals.

brush--

Coach Brooks didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. After all, the Thunder players on the field were also defending very hard.

The defeat in G1 in the finals was the most painful lesson learned.

Therefore, this question is difficult to solve.

The current solution the Thunder can think of is for others to take advantage of penalties to increase physical confrontation as much as possible and reduce the Bulls' scoring efficiency. Durant and Westbrook continued to work hard on the offensive end, striving to further expand the score advantage.

The problem is that the bull has already begun to exert its strength. After a while, it may start to gain strength in advance.

The Bulls are originally the team with the strongest shooting ability in the league. In the past, due to their strong defense and poor shooting feel, they could only rely on scoring inside to maintain the score.

Fortunately, the Thunder's role players defended desperately and their own shooting skills were average. No one made open three-pointers to help the Thunder open the score.

Nowadays, some of the Bulls' main players have regained their touch.

Next, inside and outside shooting, a two-pronged approach, how can the Thunder resist it?
The three-point rain was already starting to rain, but Coach Brooks was still a little slow in reacting. It wasn't until George made another three-pointer that he reacted and called a timeout.

But at this time, the point difference has narrowed to 4 points.

In less than half a quarter, the Bulls had a 17-8 spurt.

It can only be said that as long as you enter the Bulls' game rhythm, scoring is as easy as sky blue.

After returning from the timeout, the Thunder did not want to be overtaken by the Bulls, so they had to solve the problem of offensive power outage first.

However, the fans at the scene kept shouting: "Defend, defend, defend!"

However, defense does not rely on shouting, but requires physical practice.

The Bulls took the initiative to attack Durant and Westbrook, forcing them to spend more energy on the defensive end.

Westbrook and Durant, who don't want to lose, can only choose to take over at this time.

However, they barely managed to overcome the difficulty in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter the shortcomings of lack of physical strength began to be exposed again.

Same recipe, same taste.

Although the Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 5-point lead, the Bulls showed strength early in the fourth quarter.

Only three minutes later, Duen scored 6 points in a row with a sudden shot, narrowing the point difference to 1 point.

Starting from the third quarter, the Thunder exposed the problem of difficulty in scoring. Now in the fourth quarter, it still cannot be solved. They took 4 shots in the first few rounds, but only scored 2 points.

It will definitely not work if this continues.

As a result, Brooks could only rely on the main force and continue to let Durant and Westbrook attack with the ball.

In other games this season, in the fourth quarter, if Westbrook continues to control the ball, Durant will definitely be angry.

But tonight, Durant was a little timid.

Even though Westbrook was a little sticky, he didn't say much.

Then he watched the Bulls overtake the score until they were 6 points behind, and then they were forced to take over the offensive banner.

"C doesn't move!" Durant looked helplessly at Westbrook, who walked to the bench with his head held high.

In fact, Durant was also wondering, even though he was defeated 3-0, why can you always be full of energy and high morale?
104 to 95, G3 of the finals came to an end.

Duan didn't even score 30 points tonight, but only scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists to win the game.

To some extent, away games are better than home games.

After this game, the finals are coming to an end.

To be honest, it doesn't matter whether you shave your head or not. (End of chapter)
