The Spurs have already scored 83 points.

The Spurs are playing the transition.

The Spurs are also playing the fast break!

The Spurs are holding back the offense from the outside. The Spurs have defensive twin towers waiting for them when they break in! ! !

None of the scenes that ignited the home court in the last round, such as the 100-meter run, steals, blocks, counterattacks, slam dunks, and high-difficulty super jump shots, did appear! !

Instead, the Spurs are boiling the frog in warm water.

In the first game, Jiang Hao did not talk trash or celebrate passionately because he was "not familiar with the game". He just played the tactics normally, played inside when he should, and did it himself when he should. Anyway, he played according to the pre-match arrangement and it was over!

Therefore, in the test game of G1, the Spurs' advantage of waiting for the opportunity to tire out became more and more obvious.

The fans expected that the two sides would spray each other or passionate duels did not appear.

It can also be said that the Spurs stars did not need to play against the Thunder alone, and they fell.

Because the Thunder was obviously not prepared enough for the Spurs, the simple inside twin tower combination of Duncan + Dio could not resist.

Not to mention the arrows from the outside.

The real difference between the Thunder and the Heat today is the three-point shooting rate.

The similarity between the Heat and the Thunder is that the three young players and the three giants play mainly to attack the basket, supplemented by mid-range shots.

When the opponent's defensive formation shrinks, the space under the basket is bound to be crowded, and the performance of the outside players becomes the key to victory.

That's why both sides tried so hard to snatch the three-point master Battier on the free market in the 2011 offseason.

If Battier was available today, the situation would be much better, because the Thunder could also learn from the Heat to let Durant play the 4th position.

That would open up space directly.

But the current situation is that the Thunder's outside line is full of ice shooters.

On the other hand, the Spurs are all sharpshooters, Mills can shoot classic shots, and Gary Neal's signature dribbling and shooting three-pointers is still so stable! !

Not to mention Jiang Hao and Danny Green, who started, these two are at the level of being sure to score in open positions, leaving the Thunder's outside line unable to split.

In this way, Duncan and Dio were like playing with toys in the interior. Playing against Perkins and Nick Collison without help defense was like playing with toys.

And as the fourth quarter progressed, after the ball was given to Harden, the fans of the eldest and second brothers directly pointed their spearheads at Deng.

Harden, who became the best sixth man this season, averaged 17.6 points, 5.2 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in the first two rounds of the Western Conference series, and played to the fullest.

But he seemed to lose himself on the stage of the Western Conference Finals G1, and couldn't find the target throughout the game. In 32.8 minutes of playing time, he only got 12 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds, and the hit rate was only 37.5%. This seems to be completely different from his previous performance.

This is the role of Danny Green!

The Spurs may not know now, Jiang Hao really sighed that I came here to save a lot of trouble this year.

Because Deng's previous life was no one to care when he played against the Spurs.

It can also be said that only Parker, Mills, and Neal took care of it.

Because Danny Green went to defend the more powerful Westbrook or Durant in his previous life, and Leonard never defended Harden, and now after Jiang Hao arrived, the Spurs have enough defensive players to rotate.

Even if Manu and Wusheng, the veterans, are not physically fit, there is still their apprentice Leonard to harass them.

Leonard is also Harden's victim. During the Spurs period, Leonard blocked and stole a lot of Harden's balls.

So Harden, as the third brother, is the worst.

In the previous life, Harden's three-point shooting percentage in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs was as high as 60.9%, but in today's game, his three-point shooting percentage was only a terrible 31.8%, and his performance was a straight decline! ! ! !

This season, Harden played the strongest firepower output on the bench in the Thunder, often leading the team's second lineup to play wonders, and he also won the "Best Sixth Man" award.

In the Western Conference series, Harden also played an important role.

Jiang Hao knew that he especially played against the Spurs in the previous life. When the second brother Westbrook was limited to a hit rate of less than 40%, Harden used his key three-pointer to help the team open up the situation.

In the series against the Spurs, Harden's three-pointer hit rate was as high as 60%, and the outside firepower dealt a heavy blow to the Spurs.

But now sorry, you can't be liberated when someone is watching you! !

Among them, the three-pointer hit rate has dropped by half compared with the previous life, only 30%.

Such a hit rate is obviously not enough to face the experienced Spurs, and it is not enough to quench thirst.

If you want to catch up, you have to make three points.

After all, there is the existence of Duncan, the core of the inside line. As long as the Thunder has weaknesses discovered, they will be infinitely magnified by the Spurs coach.

Obviously, the slump of the outside line represented by Harden in this game was magnified by the Spurs.

Although Durant still scored 24 points by the pick-and-roll offense, and Westbrook also scored 20 points, Harden's performance greatly reduced the Thunder's firepower output ability, becoming the key factor for the Thunder's loss in G1.

109:94

The Thunder lost 15 points at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals!

This is also the first time that the Thunder lost in Game 1 of the playoffs this season! ! !

The Thunder, who were completely defeated by tactics, rushed to the locker room after the final whistle!

They need supplies! !

Crazy supply strategy to deal with the Spurs.

This game made them realize that they were not prepared to play against the Spurs at all.

Tactics, game rhythm, star play, defensive rotation.

Every item was guessed and pinched by the Spurs.

Complete tactical preparation and player preparation are greatly insufficient! !

Mr. Pu and boss Bennett were so embarrassed at the scene! !

Because the Thunder coaching staff has several assistant coaches who came from the Spurs.

Although they have one week less preparation time than the Spurs, they won't be suppressed so hard, right? ? ?

It's the kind of thing that doesn't make a splash when the whole audience looks at it.

Jiang Hao and Duncan both shot over 80% in the Western Conference Finals? ?

Danny Green’s 49% three-point shooting percentage? ? ?

"Reflect on it!"

"The West is not so easy to cross!"

Bennett, who was anxious to prove himself to his predecessors, was more anxious than anyone else, but he could only comfort the players not to worry.

Get ready for the next one.

This game was completely blown away by the Spurs' skills and tactics.

Find your place in the next game! ! !

"The dynasty will eventually grow old, and no one can resist the thief of time."

Um? ? ?

Who said that? ? ?

After the game, Kobe's words were criticized repeatedly.

Suggesting that my old Spurs can't do it? ?

nonexistent! ! !

Kobe himself in the live broadcast room felt embarrassed.

In this case, Kobe, who has high emotional intelligence, also knows how to deflect conflicts about himself.

Very simple, still the same trick

Blow the team members!

"I didn't expect JIANG's defense to be able to limit Durant's one-on-one defense so well. He was the scoring champion!"

"He is indeed the X-factor for the Spurs this entire season!!"

Commentator Smith:

"Jiang Hao also scored 24 points in this game, but he took 13 fewer shots than Durant. He is already a stable star."

Fan comments:

"GDPH (good) combination! Who would have thought that the Spurs now have four leading stars!"

"Fart, blow gently!"

However, during the press conference interview, Jiang Hao did not feel that he was a star at all.

And he doesn’t think the Spurs’ lineup is deep enough, saying everyone must work hard.

He also said humbly that the Thunder had just finished the last round and had not yet fully recovered:

"We were lucky and need to work harder to prepare for the next game."

I heard Messina say something comfortable next to me. Coaches like players who are not arrogant.

But in fact, Jiang Hao was really afraid that one of the three young masters would be unable to hold him down.
