NBA: Starting CBA system

But Harden broke out, averaging 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists in the Western Conference Finals. Although the Spurs suppressed the leak, they couldn't stop the other end from leaking. The Thunder blossomed in multiple places and defeated the experienced Spurs 4-2 to advance to the finals.

Although this Thunder is "young", it is also "mature".

Durant averaged 28.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 20 playoff games, with a three-way hit rate of 51.7%, 37.3% and 86.4%;

Westbrook averaged 23.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the playoffs, with a three-way hit rate of 43.5%, 27.7% and 80.2%;

Although Harden still played the role of the sixth man in that season, he averaged 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists, with a three-way hit rate of 43.5%, 41% and 85.7%.

The tacit understanding and impactful play of the three players are very advantageous in the West, which is already somewhat declining. There are almost no teams in the West that can match up with the three players at the same time.

In the direct comparison with the opponents, the Thunder has the advantage. It can be seen that in 20 games, the hit rate of 46.5% is 2.4 percentage points higher than the opponent. The assists, steals, blocks and turnover control can all be advantageous. The average score is 101.3 points higher than the opponent's average of 97.3 points, which is a full 4 points.

The data will not lie. Under the premise of the collective outbreak of the core players, it is natural to defeat the strong enemies in the West.

This is why the commentator is so optimistic about the Thunder.

The Spurs can now be said to have a Jiang Hao, but even if Jiang Hao can lock down one of the three young players, who will lock down the other two young players? ? ?

The success of the Thunder in the West in 2012 was inevitable. At that time, several major opponents in the West had their own problems.

After the timeout, some problems of the Spurs were exposed! ! !

Although Jiang Hao and Danny Green were not affected by their physical fitness, Parker and Duncan made mistakes first.

Parker was squeezed by Safroza and turned to make a layup!

Duncan was stopped by Ibaka's back-run and could only be stopped by a foul! !

Although Harden faced Danny Green, he was not weak at all. He was not fat and turned to make a mid-range shot with his buttocks! !

This made Jiang Hao want to turn Danny Green into Metta World Peace and let Harden taste the taste of the death elbow! !

All single-player explosions! ! ! !

Moreover, Durant also scored in front of Jiang Hao. He learned his lesson this time and jumped directly after receiving the ball. Jiang Hao couldn't touch it at all. This was a pull-up jump shot.

No wonder he is the scoring champion.

If Jiang Hao had this body, he would be invincible. When he pulled up, the defender could only pray that the ball didn't go in.

And the system didn't seem to work.

Don't be possessed by the god of war Liu Yudong

They were all straight-arm jump shots. Liu Yudong was too fierce in the CBA.

"The Spurs were caught off guard at the beginning. If they had played fast all the time, they would definitely be caught up and overtaken."

Jr. Van Gundy said confidently.

Everyone knows that Popovich and the Spurs are most afraid of teams with explosive talent.

Although the Spurs are not coached by Popovich now, Messina, as a disciple, should be similar.

"Let's switch positions. If we continue, we will almost overtake."

However, the Spurs continued their strategy in an orderly manner during the timeout.

They will definitely not play fast all the time. They also know that the Spurs' positional play inside is the killer move to defeat the Thunder.

At the beginning, it was just a warning to the opponent.

After all, the first G1 was played away, and they couldn't fall behind, so they were just chasing the lead.

And now Messina directly asked everyone to return to the position! !

This made Jiang Hao nod in agreement.

The Thunder are players who rush to play.

As long as they fall into the rhythm of the position, it will be the rhythm of the tactical team Spurs! !

Now it seems that the Thunder team is no different when they rest or not. After adapting to the rhythm of the Spurs, their physical fitness has caught up all of a sudden! ! !

Then we really need to change the rhythm of offense and defense!

In the previous life, Duncan in 2012 had already entered the late stage of his career, and the Spurs also changed from the early superstar method to the team basketball of all soldiers. Compared with the Thunder's 8-man rotation, the Spurs' rotation lineup has as many as 12 people.

At that time, the Spurs operated like a precision instrument, which was amazing. However, their opponents were too talented, so strong that it was unreasonable.

It is the same in Jiang Hao's view now.

When Westbrook rushed up, no one could stop him, and he might not even commit a foul.

And Harden is now a jumping man, who can jump around a lot and show off a bit.

Even though Durant had the defensive bonus of Tony Allen, he obviously had not used it freely. Durant still seized a few opportunities and did not make him completely uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Jiang Hao felt that he was the most stable with the ball, while Parker was not so stable, and was defended by Westbrook in various ways.

Moreover, the three whistles were reflected in G1. With the same intensity, Westbrook's way of defending Parker was not to blow the whistle in various ways.

This forced Jiang Hao to take every round seriously.

This is the strongest Thunder!

It is true that the Spurs once led by a big score of 2-0 in the past, but after the Thunder won the third game and stabilized their position, the Young Guards began a magnificent counterattack.

That series gave birth to a jingle "Look at Westbrook in good times, look at Harden in bad times, and look for Durant in desperate situations". The three young players completely beat GDP!

In the tight fourth game, Durant and Harden combined to score 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting. No one on the Spurs could respond and they were defeated.

The stage of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain belonged to Harden. He made all 4 shots in the final quarter and contributed 12 points, including the three-pointer that decided the game in the last 28.8 seconds. When Harden hit the three-pointer, the Thunder already led by 5 points, and the Spurs There is no way to save the day.

After this battle, the balance of victory has completely tipped towards the Thunder.

The Thunder successfully completed the counterattack after falling behind 0-2 in 4 consecutive sets.

After the season, the Spurs had lingering fears about the talented Thunder.

If you carefully review the Thunder's road to the Western Conference Finals, you will find that this young guard is really full of talent. Facing older opponents in the Western Conference, it is impossible to parry.

The talent mentioned here does not only refer to physical talent. Look at their "young and mature" performance. They reversed the game many times at critical moments in key games and reached the finals with high morale.

Being too young does not mean being inexperienced! !

The second half of the first quarter really showed the Thunder's experience from top to bottom! !

End of the first quarter 28:26

The Spurs only lead by 2 points!

But Thunder owner Bennett and several small shareholders from the Spurs were not panic at all.

As long as they don't fall behind by 20+ at halftime, the Thunder will have the advantage!

It’s useless for you to rotate multiple people!

The average age is 23 years old which is the biggest advantage! !

The 2012 Thunder lineup is indeed too young, especially the core lineup of Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka. The oldest player is only 24 years old, the team leader Durant.

But being young does not mean being inexperienced.

In fact, the Thunder already entered the playoffs in the 2009-10 season when they acquired Harden, but were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the later champion Lakers with a score of 4:2;

In the 10-11 season, the Thunder went one step further and lost to the eventual champion Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.

Therefore, although the Thunder's lineup is young, it is a group of young people with playoff experience. In addition, they are full of talent. No team in the league has the talent of the Thunder's lineup.

"Let's go in the second quarter. I'll guard Harden. You're in charge of Durant, and Danny Green is in charge of Westbrook! Diaw is in charge of Ibaka inside, and Duncan and Perkins are in charge!"

"We win with experience and let them see our attitude!"

In the second quarter, Manu directly transformed into a spiritual mentor on the court. When he came up, he was full of energy and faced Safolosha's pick-and-roll and scored a three-pointer!

Brooks didn't hesitate and replaced Harden directly!

As a result, Harden, who was very excited in the first quarter and felt that he was invincible, was crushed and beaten by his idol Ginobili after he came on the court. He couldn't breathe.

When both of them wanted to cause each other offensive fouls, Manu "acted" more like Harden's offensive foul!

Harden's left-hand breakthrough was prejudged by Manu and cut out of the baseline. Although it was not directly converted into a fast break, it was disgusting! ! ! !

"Bloodline suppression!"

Jiang Hao watched with great interest from behind. Manu must have been buffed by a previous life, and he was too familiar with Harden's style of play.

It seems the same to the outside world. It may be difficult for other teams to defend Harden when they are all left-handed generals, but Manu can really defend him!

Because he is the best left-hander in the world!

Under his leadership, Jiang Hao also beat Durant continuously. Although Danny Green committed two fouls in a single quarter, he didn't allow Westbrook to break in a few times! !

The Spurs' iron-blooded defense is beginning to show its prowess! ! !

But Durant was a bit unable to guard against Jiang Hao!

At the end of the second quarter, we led by 7 points at 52:45! !

The boss Durant was first criticized by Thunder fans on the forum:

"That's it? You still want to drink Scarlett's foot washing water??"

"Jiang Hao hit the target brother, your defense is papery?"

"Although Durant seems to have matured, his ability on the offensive end has reached the top level.
