Chapter 869 A plot similar to last year
The series is 1:3 behind, and the most embarrassing thing now is not the Warriors players.After all, they also encountered each other last season, so they had a successful experience.But Durant didn't. He was the boss of the reversed team. He wanted to guarantee a championship, but he didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing thing.
If the Warriors fail to make a comeback in the end (high probability), then Durant will become the target of both the Thunder and Warriors fans.
After all... tsk tsk, god of plague!
Of course, Durant is not without a chance to save himself. After all, falling behind 1:3 is not falling behind 0:3. It happened twice last season, and there is no chance of a comeback.
It's just one step of loss, even the abyss, and I don't dare to think about the consequences.
This summer, unless you succeed, you will not be in the mood for fishing.
On May 5, Western Conference Finals G24.
The Oracle Center arena is still full of seats. As Warriors fans who have witnessed the reversal and being reversed, the current situation does not seem to be such a terrible thing. You must know that they have witnessed their opponents joining the championship in this venue in G7 of the finals.
For the Warriors, the next game will be a battle of life and death.In their favor, they have two home games for the next 3 games (if a tie-break is possible).
This is very important. In the NBA, home court advantage is no less than a positive buff for two evenly matched teams.
The most difficult thing should be G6, because once G5 wins, the Thunder will inevitably adjust, and they will fight at home again, and they will definitely go all out, and will not think about dragging the game to G7.
In this game, the Thunder team, which won the game, still has not changed.The Warriors also continued to die with 5 small starters.When they abandoned the center forward, they had already decided to go all out, but the first brother and others were too strong in the last game, and the Turks on the opposite side exploded and were caught off guard.
In fact, if the Warriors can win the last game, the situation will be completely different if they come to Tianwangshan at home with a score of 2:2.
But if there is no if, we can only recognize the reality.
The famous "Xie Hei" Charles Barkley mentioned when he was doing a show with Kenny Smith: "If Kane Xie can lead this Thunder team to defeat the Warriors and reach the finals, then I will rank him in history." Within the discussion range of the 50 superstars!"
Kenny Smith laughed at him: "Is it possible that he won three consecutive championships in Memphis and won 4 MVP trophies (2 regulars and 2 totals) and still not eligible to enter the top 50 superstars in history?"
Barkley nodded resolutely: "Yes, I don't think Kane's achievements in Memphis are a reflection of his ability. If he can lead Russell and PG, who have never proven themselves, to the finals, defeat the team led by LeBron. Cleveland Cavaliers, I think he is eligible to be a Hall of Famer, a candidate for the 50 greatest players in history."
Kenny Smith said disapprovingly: "By your standards, the 50 greatest stars in NBA history are simply not all together!"
Barkley is stubborn: "A lot of times the data can't explain the problem."
Kenny Smith also stopped arguing with him. He knew that his partner was very good at hype, not because this guy really hated Xie Kai so much, but most of the time it was just for the effect of the show!
——After all, Xie Kai is too popular now!
As soon as the first quarter of G5 of the Western Conference finals came up, both sides were not efficient, and they shot consecutively.The Thunder's strategy has not changed, that is, to seal off the three Tsunami brothers, and strategically empty the first brother and Chase Dan.
For the Warriors, they no longer easily let the Turks open for 3-pointers. They would rather lure Westbrook to make a 3-pointer and let the ducks one-on-one inside.On the offensive end, they used off-ball screens and shifted the ball unsteadily, chased down the relatively slow-moving ducks and Turks, grabbed the backcourt rebounds and pushed wildly to counterattack, trying to run and kill the opponent's big man.
And Green and Brother Yi, who became the "trash brothers" in the last game, after the team's offensive ball shifted, and after the switching speed increased, their hand feeling has improved, especially Brother Yi, who has already kicked the coffin. Cover, became the All-Star player of the year,
Amidst the cheers of the home fans, the Warriors became more and more courageous.On the other hand, the Thunder have been attacking constantly, Duck and the Turks have been targeted enough, and it is not surprising that they are behind in the game.
Xie Kai's playing time in this game has reached a new high since the playoffs, and his desire to attack is also very high.When his teammates' offense was not going well, he stood up in a timely manner and overcame difficulties for the team.
The Thunder's role players performed poorly, relying on the Big Three to deal with the opponent's team, it still seems a bit lonely.
In the end, even though the Thunder's Big Three teamed up to score 82 points, they still lost to their opponents in the away game and failed to end the series here.
The big score was rewritten to 3:2, which made the Warriors extremely excited and more confident.It seems that the direction of the plot is surprisingly similar to last season's Western Conference Finals.
Durant also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he can reverse and win the Cavaliers led by James in the finals, who will care about his reversal last season?History will only remember the winner, which is also his real purpose of leaving the Thunder and coming to the Warriors to win the championship.
The Thunder didn't feel scared at all. This loss wasn't the end of the world. It was true that the opponent played well, but their side felt too bad.And they still have a backup, because from the start of the playoffs to now, they haven't changed their lineup yet!
Obviously, the opponent died 5 small starters, and the two big men, Duck and Turk, must be next, and at least.If the Thunder are unwilling to play a 5-small lineup, then one big and four small are aspects that can be considered. After all, they also need big men inside to protect the frame.
The 4-point burst of the Turk in G3 is almost impossible to replicate after the opponent pays attention to it. If he has no outside threat, he will become a defensive weak point on the court, and it is inevitable to be targeted.
The Warriors' five small lineups are too fast and their shots are too strong, making big players want to stay on the court. If they don't have enough ability to switch defenses and single defenses, it will be difficult.
The outside world is still optimistic about the Thunder's promotion in Game 6 at home. It is still too difficult for the Warriors to repeat last season's reversal, and there is almost no fault tolerance rate.
Of course, once it reaches G7, the balance of victory will fall to the Warriors, which goes without saying.
雷霆队在西决已经结束的5场比赛中，一直用的是8-9人轮换（首发五虎+萝卜+吉普森+格兰特+坎特）。坎特在G2后被弃用，之后他们一直打8人轮换。
The question for Donovan's team now is whether to move one of the two starting big men to the bench after adjusting the starting lineup, or to play a 7-man rotation directly.Of course, you can also pick one of the remaining players to add to the rotation.
