NBA: My cousin wears a watch, I wear a mid-range jumper

In the Game 3 match between the Trail Blazers and the Thunder, if someone analyzes it after the game, they will definitely find a key node: the key node where the Thunder lost!

And if you look back at this game carefully, you will find that this key node is the super long-range three-pointer hit by Lillard shortly after Connaughton came on the court in the first quarter!

Lillard's super long-range three-pointer seems to be just an ordinary three-pointer, but it is farther away!

But it allowed the Trail Blazers to lead by 4 points in a tense game!

And when this 4-point lead continued until the end of the first quarter, the Thunder players had already felt a lot of pressure!

Back to the home court for the Game 3 match, but it was a game they couldn't afford to lose!

This feeling of wanting to try hard to narrow the gap, but being unable to do it no matter what, made them a little crazy!

And at the end of the half-time game, the Thunder encountered something even crazier!

In the last second of the second quarter, Lillard threw in another light-up goal���Three points!

The score difference suddenly reached 7 points!

49:56!

The Thunder returned to the locker room with a 7-point disadvantage!

This is definitely not a good sign!

……

"Is this luck?"

"If it's luck, I can only say that the Thunder's luck is too bad!"

In the broadcast room of the American Sports Channel, Barkley laughed!

The entire first half of the game was very intense and tense!

The two teams' scoring and not scoring were almost synchronized!

But in these two rounds that no one could have imagined, the Trail Blazers got a 7-point lead!

The power of the Trail Blazers' [Three Musketeers] is still extremely great!

Lin Feng, Lillard and Connaughton took turns to shoot, so that their physical energy was not consumed much!

Working in turns, not tired at all!

On the other hand, the Thunder team really relied on Durant and Westbrook to fight for their lives!

In the first half of the game, the two young Thunder players definitely played the best performance since the two of them worked together!

It can also be said to be the most harmonious performance!

The linkage between the two is obviously much more!

Even the performance of some offensive rounds can be described as flowing water!

But it's useless to mention these!

Because it's the Thunder team that is behind at this time!

This is really heartbreaking!

"I don’t think it’s luck!"

"But the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity perfectly!"

"That’s right!"

"These were several opportunities created by the Trail Blazers to widen the score, and they seized them all!"

"I prefer to call it, [strength】！"

"Lin played a leading role in this!"

Kenny Smith said with a smile.

Whether it was the pick-and-roll cooperation between Lin Feng and Lillard in the first quarter when the Trail Blazers widened the gap to 4 points, or the buzzer-beating three-pointer that Lillard just made, there were strong traces of tactical design in them!

Just a few seconds before Lillard completed the buzzer-beating three-pointer, Lin Feng made a perfect rhythm control performance!

It was because of Lin Feng's perfect control of the court that Lillard completed the last buzzer-beating three-pointer!

The cooperation between the two can be said to be extremely exquisite!

These made Kenny Smith fascinated!

As a three-point shooter who was once ranked first in the league, Kenny Smith was most easily impressed by this exquisite three-point tactical design!

"Kenny!"

"When did you become Lin's"licker" like Shaq?"

Barkley looked at Kenny Smith with a half-smile!

"I'm telling the truth!"

……

"call——！"

"huff!"

""Huh!"

During the halftime break, in the Thunder's locker room, Durant seemed to have asthma and could not stand up straight!

When on the court, because of the effect of adrenaline, Durant did not feel so tired!

Now after returning to the locker room, a strong sense of fatigue invaded him, making him feel as if he had fallen into [hell]! Westbrook on the side was obviously much more resistant, and on the surface he seemed to be fine!

But in fact, Westbrook's legs at this time seemed to be filled with lead!

Many times, physical energy consumption is not just because of [exercise]!

The existence of huge mental pressure will increase physical energy consumption exponentially!

At this time, the Thunder's head coach Billy Donovan looked at Durant and wanted to die!

At this time, he suddenly understood why Iverson was so iron, But he can still be called the super giant among super giants!

Because he is tough!

Iverson can play for 48 minutes in a game of this level in the playoffs without taking a breath!

What if his hit rate is low? At least Iverson can keep shooting!

Now look at Durant's appearance, can you still expect him to shoot crazily in the second half?

Impossible!

So, what's the point of Durant's hit rate of 62.5% in the first half?

If Durant can't play normally in the second half, it is very likely that his hit rate will still be 62.5% at the end of the game!

But such a high hit rate did not play a decisive role in the outcome of the game!

Billy Donovan would rather Durant be more tough and continue to play in the second half!

Even if he shoots 30% of the time!
