genius point guard

Chapter 771
The Thunder reacted quickly. They replaced Perkins and replaced Reggie Jackson with a height of 1 meters.

The Thunder didn't dare to use Kevin Martin. With Chen Mo, Kevin Martin was almost useless.

Kevin Martin, as the main body of the Rockets' exchange for Harden, was criticized by many Thunder fans.Because the Thunder's main competitor is the Warriors, and Kevin Martin is useless when facing Chen Mo, is he blocked by Chen Mo on the court?

Almost all of the arrangements made by Brooks were within Chen Mo's expectations. His plan was to force Durant to play the fourth position.Durant must take on more defensive tasks, so that the Warriors can consume Durant calmly.

"The Warriors use a small lineup just to target Perkins?" Barkley didn't understand.

Smith felt that this matter should not be so simple, "I think there may be other intentions, just for one Perkins, they don't need to directly change the starting lineup."

It is obviously impossible to rely on speculation about what the Warriors have in mind. They must have other deep meanings.

Durant played Green with his back. Green's height and wingspan are disadvantages. Durant scored a jumper on the wing.

When he came back, Chen Mo directly lobbed the ball to Millsap.

Millsap carried Durant in and played in. This style of play is obviously very clumsy, which is not like the Warriors' style at all.

Millsap couldn't find a chance, so he threw the ball to Chen Mo again.The offensive time basically wasted 5 seconds, and Chen Mo started to pick and roll with Green at this time, and then the Warriors used Curry and Thompson's cross-running to open up space, and Green inserted into the basket from the baseline.

Ibaka went to make up the defense, and Green stood still and lobbed the ball to Millsap.Curry ran around the basket from Thompson's side, Millsap gave the ball, Curry layup with the ball, Durant went to defend, Curry then exchanged the ball to Millsap.

Only then did Millsap hit a jumper from a half-step distance outside the reasonable collision zone.

"Let Paul (Millsap) be the starting point of the offense?" Barkley didn't understand.

"But this attack has nothing to do with his singles at the beginning?" Smith didn't understand either.

In fact, if you carefully watch the replay of the Warriors' offense just now, the Warriors' offense was carried out around Durant's side, and their purpose was to consume Durant.

On the defensive end, Westbrook suffered a flank attack.

Chen Mo and Curry went to flank Westbrook, while Durant was defended by Millsap and Green in turn.

"The Golden State Warriors are consuming Kevin!" Barkley understood that the Warriors' evolution was aimed at Durant from the very beginning.They are willing to give up some of their own offensive opportunities, and even give Durant more space on the offensive end, just to consume Durant.

The core of Oklahoma has always been Kevin Durant, and Westbrook is like a pioneer, but Durant is always the one who kills the opponent in the end.

Brooks even understood it later than Barkley, but when he understood it, he was a little helpless. He knew it was a trap, but they had to go forward.

"Maybe this is also an opportunity?" Brooks comforted himself.

But Durant's touch tonight is obviously not as hot as the previous game. It is absolutely impossible for Durant to defeat the Warriors alone.

"The Golden State Warriors have significantly increased the speed of counterattack today." Smith said: "They put more pressure on their opponents in the early game."

"There was enough pressure from the beginning. They didn't want to drag the game into the same rhythm as the last game. It is obviously not what the Warriors want at the last moment." Barkley said.

In the last game, it seemed that Chen Mo had firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and they had been playing with ease.In this game, Durant kept scoring, and the point difference between the two sides was even smaller. Chen Mo did not show such strong control.

But in Barkley's view, this game was firmly controlled by Chen Mo.

"Strong operational capabilities!" Barkley exclaimed.

The game ended the first half almost as Chen Mo planned, with the Warriors leading by 4 points, a small advantage.

"However, their hidden advantage is greater." Barkley said.

Durant didn't even appear directly on the court in the second half, resting on the bench.

Brooks wanted Westbrook to play with the team for a while.

"I have to say, this is a stupid decision." Chen Mo laughed when he saw that Durant didn't play.

The Warriors finally showed their fangs. They didn't resort to a small lineup to play fast breaks, but they accelerated the speed of the offensive ball, and they increased the pressure on the offensive end.

The score was drawn!
Brooks hastily replaced Durant, but the rhythm of the Thunder has been completely messed up.

At the end of the three quarters, the score was stretched to 17 points.

Durant was severely consumed, and Durant was put on the bench in the last quarter of the game. Westbrook led the team to try to get the score back.

The Thunder still wanted to copy the rhythm of the last quarter of the last game, but Chen Mo would never give them a chance.

Chen Mo played early in the 4th minute, Westbrook led the team to narrow the point difference to 9 points, and Chen Mo immediately stabilized the whole scene with a three-pointer after playing.

Durant is still in a hurry to play, and the second young master can't play the feeling of the last game.Instead, the Warriors turned on the "takeoff" mode. They began to speed up their attack frequency and began to hit the Thunder's basket frantically.

The high-flying Curry forced Westbrook from beyond the three-point line. His strong three-pointer almost destroyed all the morale of the Thunder.

"The game is over." Curry shook his head, as if he was a general returning from a victorious battle.

101 to 118, the Warriors once again completed a big victory.

"After watching this game, what else do you think?" Smith asked Barkley.

At the end of the last game, Barkley said, "The Thunder's chances of winning are better." Barkley shook his head and said, "I underestimated Jack Chen again."

"Facts have proved that I can't underestimate him at all." Barkley said: "I have to say my conclusion-the chance of the Oklahoma City Thunder is not great. They only have the last game left. Hope, I'm not talking about a precedent that cannot be reversed after the series is 0 to 3, but they were completely defeated by the Golden State Warriors tactically and strategically."

It is difficult for Westbrook to accept such a defeat. He can agree with the defeat in the last game. He feels that they once saw the hope of victory, but the loss this time was very useless.

"We were played and applauded by our opponents throughout the game." Westbrook said: "They are consuming Kevin (Durant), they are constantly consuming Kevin. They just made a small effort. One change and our whole rhythm was thrown out of whack. We caught the problem early on and couldn't fix it until the end of the game."

Westbrook has pointed the finger at coach Brooks.

Durant was even more frustrated. He scored 47 points in the last game. He scored 49 points in this game, but it still didn't help. They lost.Even he got more points, but lost even worse.

"Basketball is a five-person sport," Durant said. "But they only made a fuss about one person. They were perfect tactically, and we were obviously much worse."

Both the Thunder's two young masters thought it was a tactical problem, and what they were referring to was Brooks.

ESPN broke the news that if the Thunder lose this round of the series, Brooks will not appear in the Thunder's coach next season.

Chen Mo and Curry went to eat supper together at night, but the hand of God didn't open the door, so they were not in a high mood to eat supper.

They fly to Oklahoma tomorrow, and Curry said he hopes the fans there will not greet them too warmly.

"I only have two wishes now." Curry said: "I hope that the Oklahoma fans will not make a fuss, and I hope that the opponent in the next round is the Lakers."

Curry hates Texas, especially Texas in the spring.Even though it's May now, he still has hay fever symptoms.

When the Warriors arrived in Oklahoma, they were greeted with huge boos from Oklahoma fans.Although no fans attacked their buses, they kept seeing fans showing up with profane posters and advertising banners.

There were streaking fans running past their bus, as if they were the city's hate object.

"It's a good thing there's no manure," Curry said with a curled lip.

Curry doesn't like this particularly hostile atmosphere. He is a person who likes to play and has a good attitude towards everyone. He naturally hopes that everyone's attitude towards him will not be too bad.

One of Curry's two wishes fell through first.

"Now I can only cheer for the Los Angeles Lakers." Curry secretly thought.

Tonight is Game [-] between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs.

"In view of this situation, I think the two of us can only watch TV in the room tonight." Curry said: "If we go out to shop, the ghost knows if we will be killed."

Chen Mo kept blocking Curry's ramblings, and he kept looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Timothy Glenn came to find Chen Mo, "What lineup will we use the day after tomorrow? Do we need to change it?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "No change, it's still the same routine. Consume Kevin Durant and close the game."

Timothy Glenn chatted casually with Chen Mo and left, while the preparations for the Thunder on the other side seemed very heavy.They're down 0-2 and they haven't thought of anything to do about it.

Without tactics to deal with it, this is their biggest headache.

At the same time, the Oklahoma media suddenly broke the news, "Jack Chen will leave the Golden State Warriors after the end of this season, and his target team is the team he once played for."

The revelation came very suddenly. When Chen Mo and Curry were watching the second game between the Lakers and the Spurs in the hotel room, the general manager of the Warriors, Miles, suddenly called Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, and then told Miles, "This is a clumsy lie."

"I'm sensitive." Myers said, "Should we talk about contract extension after the season?"

Miles had contacted Falk before, but Falk's attitude was not clear.From the perspective of a veteran in the brokerage world, Falk just made a habitual statement.But Chen Mo is so important to the Warriors, it's no wonder Miles is nervous.But this time, he took advantage of the opportunity to ask Chen Mo's attitude.

"No problem." Chen Mo readily agreed.Although Chen Mo's contract still has one year left, it is relatively safe to discuss contract renewal this summer.If the player is unwilling to renew the contract, the team has time to do public relations, and if the player is willing to renew the contract, the team must also prepare the contract in advance.For a team like Chen Mo, negotiating a contract extension is a long and cautious process.

The Warriors' official website made a move to refute the rumors that night, but the next morning, another media broke the news that Chen Mo will go to Sacramento next summer.

"It's his little girlfriend's father's team there. He'll play there until he retires, and then become the majority owner of the team."

The media in Oklahoma is playing the role of the six people with all their heart. These news are all fabricated by them, but it has to be said that the level of the fabricators is very high, and all the news is true.

"It's not true, is it?" Millsap asked Chen Mo.

Obviously, the Warriors were affected internally by the news that broke the news in Oklahoma.

"It's definitely fake." Chen Mo said.

Millsap nodded. This year is his contract year. Any news from Chen Mo will affect his negotiation with the team on contract renewal.

Chen Mo updated a social feed, "Before the end of the season, all the topics about my contract renewal are all fake news."

After Chen Mo made his statement, he immediately said: "This kind of news makes people very tired. I think I can take a good rest for a few days after leaving Oklahoma."

Last night, the Spurs pulled back a win in the away game. The series between the Lakers and the Spurs may not end so easily, and it is likely to be another tiebreaker.

What Chen Mo meant was that after they swept the thunder, they could get a few days of rest.

The fans were making noise, and the response of the Warriors uniform team was extremely fast.

Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Pete Guber, together with team manager Miles, held a press conference where they announced the Warriors' plan to build a new arena in San Francisco.

And they also revealed that the name of the Warriors' new arena is likely to be named after Chen Mo.

"Of course, this is just one of our alternative plans." Joe Lacob said to reporters with a smile on his face: "Maybe there will be a better plan at that time, and maybe this plan will be used. We will wait until the arena is completed, but we will start the construction plan of the arena after the end of the season."

Originally, this plan would wait until after the end of the season to be announced and then launched.However, the Oklahoma media made the news that Chen Mo would leave Oakland, so Lacob and Guber had to announce the news in advance.

Their purpose was obviously to stabilize fans and public opinion. As for the plan to name the new arena with Chen Mo's name, it was to show that Chen Mo would not go anywhere.As for this plan, they didn't even have any contact or conversation with Chen Mo.
