Chapter 466 I Almost Believed Itself (13)

The Thunder team is great because it is a team whose upper limit you can't understand, and the lower limit you can't understand.

When they were great, it was like the game that broke the Warriors' winning streak.Westbrook played Nash's distribution of the ball, Kevin Durant became Kobe who knew how to distribute the ball and had an excellent handle, and James Harden was like Crawford with an explosive hand.

Whoever touches this kind of thunder will die, it really can't be beaten.

The Thunder that the Grizzlies encountered today almost had this effect. Durant felt explosive, Westbrook didn't make mistakes at all, and Harden stood up steadily from the bench to provide a strong firepower output point.

When Westbrook does not go crazy and starts to transfer the ball, when the only player in the league who can defend against Durant does not exist, coupled with Durant's overwhelming touch, the Grizzlies' defense is like a broken ship that has been leaked everywhere. It's all leaking.

The Thunder scored 47 points frantically in the first quarter, Durant scored 26 points, and the Grizzlies only scored 29 points in the first quarter. They seem to be about to usher in a rout tonight.

"As long as the Thunder can continue this kind of offensive in the second quarter, the game will be ruined." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "We can start thinking about the Thunder, our preparations for the Grizzlies are basically It can be thrown in the trash."

The next situation was not as bad as Chen Mo expected. The Oklahoman's offense was extremely strong. James Harden came up with a substitute and threw two three-pointers. The game has entered a very unfavorable situation for the Memphis. situation.

Then, the Thunder did not relax, the Grizzlies did not drag the game into the tiebreaker at home, they ushered in a rout.

In the end, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 124 to 105 and won the final victory of the series.

On May 5, the schedule for the second round of the playoffs was arranged, and the first game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Thunder and the Warriors will start tomorrow night.

At this time, the first game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Spurs had ended yesterday. The Zijin double guns defended the Staples Center, and the Los Angeles Lakers rewritten the total score to 1-0.

"Who do you think San Antonio or Los Angeles will reach the Western Conference Finals?" Curry asked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo said: "You don't care who he is! It doesn't matter whoever comes!"

For the fans, the next second round of the Western Conference is very interesting.The Warriors and the Thunder are new forces in the two alliances. The collision of young people is the main theme of this round of the series, and the game looks very suspenseful.

There is no shortage of stories between these two teams.

Harden and DeRozan are good friends, and he and Chen Mo were both rookies in 09. During the humiliation incident in the Orlando training camp, Harden absolutely supported his friend DeRozan. The grievances between him and Chen Mo are very story-telling .

And the Thunder is the team with the Warriors' winning streak in the middle of this season. Westbrook issued a declaration of victory through the media again and again, and finally gave the Warriors a strong stop at home.

Although Durant did not show great hostility towards the Warriors and Chen Mo, he must have stood faithfully by his brother's side.

And the war of words broke out the night the Thunder and Grizzlies game ended.

Westbrook was thrown by the media, "Do you think Jack Chen can get all the No.1 votes and be elected MVP?"

Westbrook replied, "I will definitely not choose him! Besides, who is he?"

"The encounter in the playoffs is very exciting, and I think the fans in Oklahoma City are more willing to see such a matchup!" Harden said.In fact, ever since the media in Oklahoma came up with the "Countdown to Winning Streak Record" and the "Jack-Chen Self-Slapping Party" called by some people, the relationship between Chen Mo and the city has become very bad up.

And Coach Brooks immediately began to talk about this round of the series with the Warriors at the post-match press conference.

"Yes, their fast break is very strong, and the perimeter combination is an important weapon to drive their offense. But I think our perimeter energy is more sufficient. In the series against the Warriors, I consider starting James Harden. We Put the key to winning or losing on the outside duel."

That's what Brooks said, but who knows if he's setting off smoke bombs?

Chen Mo immediately expressed his opinion after the public training on the second day, "Yes, we will definitely change. Because they are special opponents after all, and the last time we played against them feels very far away. Throughout the season, we have improved and adjusted. We are not opponents who know each other very well, and then we may try to start with a small lineup."

This is what Chen Mo discussed with Timothy Glenn, and Chen Mo just treats what Brooks said as smoke bombs.If Harden is allowed to start, how can the bench lineup still have offensive power?Let Fisher, the veteran who joined the Thunder in the mid-term, drive the offensive power of the rotation?Isn't that bullshit?
But the Warriors can't just watch others put smoke bombs there!They've got to put some smoke bombs on, too, and they have a reason to say it.

"Oklahoma's lineup is very fast, so we have to be faster than them." Chen Mo added.

Chen Mo added a lot of content on the tactical analysis, which made their smoke bombs look more reasonable, and Chen Mo almost believed it himself.

Brooks immediately fell into thinking after receiving Chen Mo's smoke bomb. If the Warriors really start with a small lineup, their tactics will definitely change.And they fought the Grizzlies in six games, leaving them with only one day of preparation time, and the tight schedule made people a little breathless.This year's playoffs are half a month later than in previous years, so the tightness of the schedule makes people feel a little suffocated.

Whether or not to target the small lineup of the Warriors made Brooks very hesitant.If he doesn't make targeted arrangements, and the Warriors' small lineup defeats him at the beginning, there will definitely be media scolding him. Everyone has said it, so don't you target it accordingly?
If the Warriors changed, there must be media scolding him, foolishly fooled.

However, the Warriors are back as the regular season champions of this season. They are super strong, even if they play the Thunder normally, it is a disadvantage. It doesn't really matter whether they want to make a sudden start against Harden.The pressure is all on Brooks' side.

Brooks finally decided to start against the Warriors' small lineup. He was willing to believe that the Warriors were too self-confident and revealed his tactical intentions, because he would be less pressured to do so.

There wasn't much time left for the Thunder to prepare, and the tactics were only laid out in Oakland.
