"MVP, MVP"

The moment Kevin Durant walked out of the player tunnel, the audience at the Chesapeake Energy Arena instantly erupted. Nearly [-] spectators shouted the MVP slogan in unison. There is no doubt that these The slogans are all for Kevin Durant, because in the hearts of all Thunder fans, Kevin Durant is the MVP.

In this season's regular season MVP selection, Kevin Durant once again ranked second. Not only that, but in the selection of the best team, Kevin Durant also failed to enter the first round, which made support for Durant Durant's fans are very upset. Durant's performance this season and the Thunder's record in the regular season are completely worthy of the MVP and the first team, but Durant is in the selection of the MVP and the best team. Both of them lost.

Although Durant failed to be crowned MVP, every time the Thunder played at home, when Durant walked out of the player tunnel or walked to the free throw line, the audience at the Chesapeake Energy Arena would send a gift to Durant. Cheers to the MVP.

Before Durant, Russell Westbrook, who had already walked out of the player tunnel, watched the audience stand up collectively, shouting the voice of MVP in unison, and also looked envious. At this moment, in the In Westbrook's heart, he is also fantasizing that one day he can also receive Durant's treatment in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

After all the Thunder players walked out of the player tunnel, Chesapeake Energy Arena once again burst into warm cheers. As a very young team, the Thunder has reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons. Undoubtedly very proud, and what makes the Thunder fans even more proud is that the two leading players and the main lineup of their team are very young. If there is no accident, at least within the next ten years, They will be a decisive force in the West, and as long as they can win a few championships, the Thunder will complete the transformation from a new army to a powerful, even wealthy, so the Thunder fans on the scene are always full of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm, because they see hope and future glory in this young team.

"In today's game, the starting lineups of the Spurs and Thunder have not changed much. They both maintained the starting lineups in the previous round. It seems that they are very satisfied with the performance of their respective starting lineups, or they can It can be said that until now in the playoffs, all the teams have no secrets and backers to speak of, and similarly, this also means that their chances of adjustment are very small.”

"It's true. So far in the playoffs, all the teams have tried their best and all their cards, and it is actually very unwise to make rash adjustments to the main lineup at this time. "

After the starting players from both the Thunder and the Spurs began to enter the field to warm up, several on-site commentators in the commentary booth also gave up their comments on the game and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides to the scene and the audience in front of the TV. up.

"The Thunder's starting lineup today is center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Serge Ibaka, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha, point guard Serge Westbrook.

"Today's starting lineup for the Spurs is still center Tim Duncan, power forward Berners Diaw, small forward Meng Xu, shooting guard Kawhi Leonard, and point guard Tony Parker.

"The core of the Thunder's tactics is Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, two outside players, so their offense has always been on the outside, so they don't actually have much room for change on the offensive end. The Spurs are different. The Spurs are a team with a very balanced inside and outside. They have both a super inside like Tim Duncan and a dominant outside like Meng Xu. Therefore, the Spurs will undoubtedly be more flexible in their tactical choices. Therefore, although the Spurs' main lineup has not changed, no one can predict the tactics and style of play they will use after they play."

"No matter how you play today, we will be the winners in the end." Seeing that Tim Duncan and Serge Ibaka, who had finished warming up and jumped the ball on behalf of both sides, walked into the middle circle one after another, Si Kurt Brooks turned his head to look at Popovich who was not far away, and looked at Popovich who was sitting on the bench as stable as Mount Tai, Scott Brooks frowned and said something softly.

In the playoffs last season, Popovich was always standing on the sidelines and yelling towards the court. This season's Popovich made Scott Brooks think that this guy was It's not that he exchanged bodies with Phil Jackson. Whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, Popovich sat firmly on the bench most of the time, and even more so for the entire half. He sat on the bench all the time and didn't even move his buttocks.

"Tim Duncan's judgment of the ball's landing is very good. Although he doesn't take off as high as Serge Ibaka, he still touches the basketball before Serge Ibaka and puts it on the ball. It dialed up the Spurs' half court."

After Tim Duncan won the jump ball with almost no suspense, Charles Barkley on the sidelines also had an expression of appreciation. It is not easy to easily defeat a young man who is more than ten years younger than himself.

After Tim Duncan won the jump ball, the basketball that Duncan moved to the backcourt appeared in the hands of Tony Parker, and the rest of the Spurs players also began to move forward after the jump ball. Meng Xu, who was not far from Duncan, was taken care of by the Thunder. Before Meng Xu passed the middle circle, Sabo Sefolosha stuck it up like a dog's skin plaster.

Seeing the defensive treatment Meng Xu received, Tony Parker, who was dribbling, was also obviously stunned for a moment, because it meant that the defensive intensity Meng Xu might receive today far exceeded the series against the Warriors. For a team that is rooted in attacking the strong and defending the weak, the Thunder's perimeter defense is very strong.

However, after passing the middle circle, Tony Parker passed the basketball to Meng Xu the moment Meng Xu squeezed Sapor Sefolosha, and the moment Meng Xu received the pass, he was hit by the Thunder Double-teaming, but this time Meng Xu did not hold the ball for a long time under the Thunder's double-team defense, but after the Thunder's double-teaming formed, he passed the basketball back to Tony Parker, and Tony Parker got the ball again , with a direct long pass, he found the unguarded Boris Diaw.

"Nice pass, Boris Diaw hits a jumper to open the scoring for the Spurs."

In the first round after the opening round, the Spurs showed some differences from the previous round of the series. Although in this offense after the opening, the Spurs' playmaker still seemed to be Meng Xu, but throughout the offensive process However, Meng Xu only touched the ball once, so this point of Meng Xu feels more like a feint, which is used to attract the Thunder's defensive attention.

　Thank you 1025 Long 1025 for your reward, thank you.

　　Thank you for the reward I want to wake up the world, thank you.
