Super Heavy Artillery
Chapter 309
The first game back at home lost, which made the thunder players feel very depressed.
If the last game is due to the opponent's sudden change of form, they can't adapt to it for a while and lose, then this game is really unable to play.
In this game, the thunder's players performed very well. It was the best of the first three games. Five people scored in double, Westbrook handed over 26 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, Anluo 24 points and 3 steals, Adams 13 points and 15 rebounds, oladibo 16 points and 5 assists, Kanter 15 points.
Of course, the Spurs' players also played well. Leonard scored the highest 35 points, added 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, which was not inferior to that of Westbrook; Aldrich, who played an abnormal role in the first two games, also handed over the data of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks; Gasol, who continued to start, had 18 points, 8 baskets and 4 blocks, firmly defended the Spurs' forbidden area with Aldrich. In addition to the three, although only Denny green scored in double, the rest also scored.
It can only be said that skills are not as good as people. Although the outbreak of players can make up for some defects in the lineup to a certain extent, it can not completely solve the problem.
After the game, many people came forward to blame Donovan's platoon. They thought Donovan didn't adjust his lineup in time in the fourth quarter, so he lost the lead and was finally overtaken by the Spurs. In contrast, Popovich's two changes at the critical moment not only made the Spurs surpass the score, but also kept their own advantages. These people believe that the ability of the two managers is the key factor in determining the outcome of the game.
Of course, some people understand Donovan's troubles. Many people in the circle came forward and said something fair. After all, thunder's disposition, cannot support them to the playoffs third round. If only Presti had traded Ibaka for a striker last summer. However, thunder at that time, already had one of the best forward players in the league. Now that we say this, we are wise after the event.
In fact, the off-site disputes did not bring much interference up and down with thunder. What they need now is rest. When they have a rest, they have to fight with all their strength. The next game, thunder really can't afford to lose.
As the general manager of thunder, Presti should always pay attention to his team. But now he doesn't have much in mind to focus on the team's game. Even if the thunder lost two games in a row to stop in the western semifinals, this season is also a successful one. Even if he didn't do anything all season, no one would say that he did a bad job.
As a person who has been in this circle for so many years, he has a good understanding of the situation of the game. In his opinion, thunder should stop this year. The overall strength of the team is not weak, but the configuration is not scientific. The front line lacks a starting player with both attack and defense, and there are too many defenders.
Donovan is a very good manager, but he can only solve problems in the game. As for the disposition of the players, he has already communicated with Presti. In the end, they both agreed that there was no need to act rashly this season. After all, the warriors are fierce, and the thunder is so basic that it can't rush out of the West even if it's all finished. It's better to take risks next season.
So Presti's working on it right now. He has to get Donovan an offensive and defensive forward this summer. Otherwise, next season will be the same as it is now.
However, there are not many players like this. And you can't just find one, at least it's all star. Otherwise, it won't help Leonard, Durant and James in the future.
After thinking about it, there was no one who was particularly suitable. That guy in Indiana is a good guy, but it costs a lot. You have to think about it.
The fourth game between the two sides began.
Oklahoma City fans are still so enthusiastic. They will also be worried about the situation of thunder, but as soon as they get to the Chesapeake energy stadium, they will be out of the blue. In this stadium, there will always be only one voice, that is, "O ~ K ~ C ~".
This game, thunder's players are ready for the final fight. They've lost two games in a row! And this one is still at home. If you lose this game, it's really over.
The Spurs' lineup did not change much, or continued the double tower tactics of Gasol and Aldrich, but also did not use the last quarter of the "death five", after all, Leonard's organizational ability is still much worse than Parker.
Thunder directly on the side of Westbrook, oladibo and Anluo's three back lineup, and then replaced grant with Robertson, Adams in the basket.
With such a change, Robertson shifted to face Leonard, and Westbrook headed in front of Aldrich. Although still can't cure the lineup problem, but can contain the first two games outstanding Leonard. The only thing to worry about is the play of Aldrich. He hasn't been good in the playoffs this year, giving Donovan the determination to make up his mind.
Aldrich didn't let Donovan down. So that his balance of power lasted until the end of the game.With 30 seconds left in the game, the two sides tied 101-101.
The Spurs' right to the ball.
Ginobili received Aldrich from outside the three-point line. Facing oladibo's defense, he took a left foot feeler step, a right foot acceleration swung the opponent away, and then rose from the ground one step in the three-point line and threw the ball.
"Shua!"
The ball is in!
Ginobili clenched his right hand with a swing. Although the evil sword is old, its power will not be reduced!
However, thunder still has a chance.
There are 13 minutes left in the game, enough for them to finish an attack. Donovan quickly called a pause and arranged the ball with a dignified face.
Stop back and Westbrook catches the ball in the back court. It's no longer time. He starts directly and runs into the three-point line under the cover of Adams.
It looks like it's going to be a tie for overtime.
But the Spurs' players didn't panic. Leonard and Gasol quickly wrapped up Westbrook. Four long arms, block out the sun!
But Westbrook is not flustered, either! He put his right hand out between the two and threw the ball out of the three-point line.
ANLO's waiting at 45 degrees to the left!
After catching the ball, he had no time to think about it. Take off shots. As soon as he was ready to shoot, the ball was held down from behind. Looking back in surprise, he saw only Denny green rushing towards Ginobili with an excited face.
This old guy, you've blocked ANLO's shot!
