The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 316
CCTV studio.

The commentator and the guests have already analyzed the wave before the game.

Director Zhang: "Okay, the match between the two sides is about to start, let's introduce the lineups of both sides."

"Away Ohlahoma City Thunder starters are: PG Russell Westbrook, SG Lee Forest, SF Kevin Durant, PF Serge Ibaka, C Tyson Chandler, they There are James Harden, Nick Collison, Danny Green, Taj Gibson and other powerful players on the bench."

"The Thunder's lineup has two All-Star players and one quasi-All-Star player."

"Phoenix starting at home - PG Steve Nash, SG Quentin Richardson, SF Grant Hill, PF Amare Stoudemire, C Robin Lopez. Their bench There are Channing Frye, Dudley, Dragic and other practical players on the bench, especially Dragic, who has been in very good form recently."

"It goes without saying for them, there are two-time MVP winners, dunk champions, and All-Stars."

"Dayao, who do you think has a better chance of winning this match?"

Director Zhang threw the question to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming thought for a while and said: "I am optimistic about the Suns in the first game, because the playoffs are more about experience. This is only the Thunder's first playoff game, and it is an away game. The Thunder's youth is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. The Suns are afraid of teams with superstars inside, and this is precisely the weakness of the Thunder. The Thunder are not afraid of the Suns running and bombing. On the contrary, the Suns are not afraid of the Thunder's offensive and defensive transition. The two teams may be the same as we usually see today. The playoffs were different, with super high scores."

Zhang Weiping: "Well, it's true from this point of view. Later, Yao will tell us more about your experience in the playoffs at that time, and see if you can give Forest some advice after the game. I hope the Thunder can win the championship in Phoenix. If they go back to the home court, it will be easy to play."

Yao Ming: "Well, that's fine. Let me sum it up and talk to him when the time comes. The side with the home court advantage in the playoffs will be much easier to play."

Zhang Weiping: "Okay, without further ado, let's watch the game."

………………

The pregame ceremonies for the playoff opener are very long.

At this time, the entire American West Arena and even the entire city of Phoenix can only hear the shouts of the Suns fans.

All the Suns fans present were wearing home T-shirts, and the interior of the arena became a sea of ​​blue and yellow.

Seeing the spectacular scene in front of them, the Thunder's role players were all shocked. At this moment, they, who were rookies in the playoffs, realized that the cruel playoffs were really about to begin. They would be like this in every next away game, It feels like going through 18 layers of hell.

The fans are uniformly dressed, which can bring a great impact to the players visually, not to mention the violent boos that will come from the moment they hold the ball on the field, which will double the pressure on the players of the visiting team .

At this time, the home fans cheered wildly for the home team. The momentum was so great that Barkley and Smith could still hear a lot of noise even if they put on earphones during the live broadcast on the sidelines.

The shouts of the Phoenix fans did not scare Li Senlin, but made Li Senlin even more excited.

Li Senlin also felt that Durant and Westbrook around him were as excited as him, and they didn't tremble like a few role players.

Stars are born to belong to such a stage, the stronger the opponent, the more excited they are.

Li Senlin has experience in Section 8 and is no stranger to such a big scene. As the kick-off time of the game approaches, his mentality has become more and more calm.

The main tactic of the Suns is to run and shoot. This season, their integrity is too strong. The Thunder lost 3 games in the regular season because of lack of experience in dealing with them. , the result is that the Suns hit too many open three-pointers and lose the game.

The Thunder's offensive and defensive transition is not the same as that of the Suns. The Thunder relies more on the personal offensive talent of the third master. The third master is in good condition and can win against anyone.

The Suns rely on Nash as the engine, and give him a bunch of shooters. As long as everyone’s condition is not too bad, they can win, because Nash can help his teammates find open positions in fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions no matter how good or bad he is. Terrible.

Of course, the playoffs cannot be played in the same way as the regular season.

The Thunder's defense before the game was very strong.

They want to seize the moment when the sun turns from offense to defense, quickly seize a favorable defensive position, use strong personal defensive actions and coordination, to limit the speed of the sun, destroy their attack, make the sun turn into a position to attack, and let the sun attack. Once the position is established, then the probability of Thunderclap winning is [-]%.

This defensive tactic also has high requirements for Thunder players. The most fundamental method is to improve the success rate of their offense, reduce the chances of the Suns launching fast breaks, reduce unnecessary mistakes, organize rebounds, and facilitate the deployment of defense.

But after a season of training, the Thunder is no longer the Thunder of last year, and they can also meet the requirements of defensive tactics.

The ceremony is over.

2 minutes prep time.

Li Senlin sat on the bench.

A masseur is giving Li Senlin a massage, and many cameras are shooting at him. Every movement and expression of Li Senlin will be broadcast to the world through live broadcast.

Li Senlin sat quietly squinting his eyes, enjoying the strength of the masseur, ignoring the camera.

And Westbrook led Durant to dance in front of the bench, which is their way of relaxing.

Sun bench.

Nash walked up to Grant Hill and said:

"Grant, the Chinese must be restrained tonight."

Hill: "Well, I have already studied his video. This guy's offensive routine is similar to Kobe, but he is not so mature. There are some minor troubles, but the problem is not big."

Nash said in a low voice: "OK, if you can't restrain yourself, then we will be in trouble."

Hill took a deep look at Li Senlin, who was resting on the Thunder bench, and said, "Yes."

Who dares to say that he is very sure to limit this former Mr. 70 points, this terrifying rookie who has scored 8+ points in 40 consecutive games.

But there is no way, the coach arranged it like this.

Because Durant was out of position against anyone, the Suns let the faster paced Richardson defend Durant, and Li Senlin was defended by Grant Hill. Gentry tried to use Tian Ji's horse racing method to limit the Thunder. It blooms at three o'clock.

The last thing Nash wanted to do was to play against the Thunder. Every time he finished a game with the Thunder, he was exhausted. The attacking firepower of the three young men was something Nash had never seen in his career. Good at shooting, scoring in a variety of ways
"You must be patient on the court, play every round well, and run! No matter how strong the Thunder's three scorers are, they are just rookies in the playoffs. Tonight we will let them see how powerful the team is! Just like the routine Just like we beat them three times, beat them again."

Before the game, Gentry gave the Suns players one last pep talk.

…………

2 minute passed quickly.

Players take their positions on the pitch.

Li Senlin jumped on the field with his feet off the ground, stretched his arms slightly, and let out a long breath.

"Beep."

With the referee throwing the ball into the air.

The game officially started.
