992.Super Youth Army (2nd Update)

Obviously, after the fiasco in the first game, the Thunder side learned from the pain and made a change.

Sometimes a bickering isn't necessarily all bad, such as Durant and his head coach Brooks agreed in Game 2 to strengthen the defense, increase the use of Harden, Sefrosa, Muhammad, De Quinn Cook and others, and no longer point to the eight-man rotation like in the first quarter.

Although the second game ended up losing, the game was not changed enough in the final quarter, and it was crushed by the Grizzlies' defense, but the Thunder have made good changes.

On May 21st, it was another all-court high-intensity defensive scorching game, relying on Durant's three-point kill, the Thunder team 94-92, the big score was 1-2, and refused to fall behind 0-3!

Both teams did a very good job defensively in this game, Sun Ce played 46 minutes tonight, scoring 26 points and 4 assists on 19-of-23 shooting...... The offensive performance was average, but there were 22 boards, 6 blocks and 2 steals, and the defensive performance was extremely good, which meant that the Grizzlies had never slackened their defense throughout the game.

In the first half, Sun Ce played 22 minutes and got 9 points, 10 boards, 3 assists and 4 blocks, and the Grizzlies actually led by 3 points at 46-43 in the first half, so at halftime, Sun Ce chose to use the physical energy potion that had just been fully charged, winning 1 point is also winning, winning 58 points is also winning, all win, no difference, just win.

But Durant is Durant, this may be the best killer player in the league today, the Thunder attacked in the first half today not as hard as the last game, mainly because Durant only scored 10 points in the first half, but Fisher, Harden, and Ibaka shot well under Westbrook's sudden score, helping the Thunder bite the score and not being completely locked by the Grizzlies' defense.

In the second half, Durant began to exert his strength, scoring double-doubles in two consecutive quarters, 13 points in the third quarter, 15 points in the fourth quarter, and 38 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 3 blocks in the whole game, assisted by Westbrook's outstanding organizational performance of 16 points and 12 assists, helping the Thunder narrowly beat the Grizzlies.

In fact, in the end, Sun Ce made a key shot, and with 12 seconds left, he caught the ball and dunked to help the Grizzlies lead by 1 point, but Durant scored a three-point game...... Westbrook dribbled for 8 seconds and threw it to Durant, who exited the three-point line while dribbling under Paul George's defense, and threw it directly into it with more than 1 second left.

No way at all!

……

……

On May 22, another day off for the Grizzlies and Thunder arrived.

The indoor court at the Four Seasons Hotel in Oklahoma City was chartered by the Grizzlies, and the tactical training in the morning was over, and he would rest in the afternoon and play tomorrow, but Sun Ce held the ball and didn't leave, feeling like a crow's mouth.

After the first game, he was still wondering why the Thunder played so badly, okay, how good they played in the next two games.

Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Ibaka, four super geniuses with outstanding talent and have turned their talent into strength, are too strong and terrifying!

The Thunder are only a little worse in terms of interior defense, but the overall defense is strong, and there are too many outside scorers, in addition to Wihaddou, there are Fisher, who averaged 8 points per game in the first three games, Sefrosa who averaged 11 points per game, and Daquin Cook, who averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game, not counting Eric Maynor and Thunderstrike Jackson, who were reimbursed for the playoffs.

Sun Ce had done his best in last night's game, and he didn't know if he would have performed better if he had used the star experience card, but in terms of team continuity, unless he chose the origin of Iguodala's type with the A-level designated star experience card, the defensive continuity might not be maintained so well.

Of course, in fact, their Grizzlies didn't play badly last night, but Durant was too explosive.

In the past two games, Durant scored 39 points in one game and 38 points in one game, which is so strong! In a situation where others have created an easy time for him to play a quarter or a half, the rest of the time he is as crazy as he is to be separated.

Sighing, after Sun Ce practiced two more sets of shots, he returned to the room, Lily Collins had already helped him wash the bathtub and put the water, and two hours after the two turned on the faucet to keep the heat hot, Sun Ce hugged Lily Collins who was taking a nap and lay on the bed.

The psychological burden brought to the opponent by this kind of lore is too great, and Sun Ce did not get the joy of double 20 at all.

First of all, the shutout means that the game is played with anxiety, that is, the strength is equal, and their Grizzlies are seeing the group of talented people on the opposite side play better and better game by game.

This psychological pressure is even greater.

And unlike fans who only look at the data, even if the second Thunder team loses, it will not affect the pressure brought to them by Durant's third game.

In addition to this, Sun Ce opened the event section and looked at it, Durant's highest score in the series was 39 points, and he Sun Someone scored 25 points.

Fortunately, he and Westbrook both have 0 triple-doubles, and it is very difficult for Westbrook to get a triple-double, unless Westbrook runs to grab rebounds regardless of defense, otherwise it is almost impossible to rebound double-doubles in this series.

And the Thunder have been able to defend so well in the past two games, Westbrook's defense of Nash, Ridno, and Neal is very important, after all, he was the best defensive player in college, and he really has to defend wholeheartedly, and with Ibaka's help in defense, the defense is really good.

But he has to score 40 points to surpass Durant...... It's so hard!

"I knew that I would have put on the blindfold in the first scene......"

But now it's too late to regret it.

Shaking his head, put this matter aside for the time being, now leading 2-1, that is, at least two more games, not without a chance, and Sun Ce feels that there may be more than two games.

The opponent really played better game by game.

Sun Ce remembered the second round of this year in the original time and space, because it was Kobe's last trip to the playoffs, and he deliberately looked for a video to watch it, and he still had an impression.

In the series between the Lakers and the Thunder, in fact, the Lakers took the initiative in three of the first four games, the second to the fourth, the Lakers led at the last moment in the second and third games, and Kobe Bryant scored a key shot to tie the score in the fourth game.

That was the year when the Lakers lost Odom and caused the interior to be empty, except for the twin towers, the other interior lines were not good, resulting in the twin towers being overtired, and no one in the point guard could limit Westbrook, who was beaten by Westbrook to average 25 points per game in the career playoffs single-round series scoring a new high.

But with Kobe Bryant's average of 31 points per game, the Lakers still didn't fall behind in the first four games.

However, in the second game, Durant killed when he was 1 point behind, the Thunder held two home courts, and in the third game, Durant missed the shot, but in the fourth game, when Kobe Bryant's key ball tied the score, Durant scored another three-point kill, and the Thunder won an away game and tied the score at 3-1.

After these two kills, the Thunder team completely established confidence, and the Lakers played very hard, playing so well in three games, but they were killed, and the fifth game completely collapsed.

Even if the Lakers lose Odom in this round of the series, their strength does not look worse than the Thunder, they are purely poured blood mold and met Durant, Durant's average score per game in this round of the series is actually not high, 26 points, but he is invincible at a critical moment, and Durant also got the nickname of the Grim Reaper in this round of the series.

And this round of the series for the Thunder players, it is a round of series in which they have laid the strength and confidence of a strong team, so that they can turn the Spurs 4-2 in the case of falling behind 0-2 in the Western Finals.

The current Thunder team gives Sun Ce the feeling that this is the case, each game is better than the other, and the confidence is more and more full of confidence.

It's their Grizzlies who are leading 2-1 now, otherwise it's really enough.

After resting for a while, Sun Ce got up and got dressed, and took advantage of the afternoon break to watch the videos of the past three games.

Especially in the second and third games, I want to find the loopholes of the other party.

There's really a glaring loophole...... At the same time, this vulnerability is also a vulnerability for their Grizzlies.

The Thunder's low-post defense wasn't good, but they only had Randolph score more low-post points in the Grizzlies.

They have two good players in the Grizzlies' low post, Randolph and his grandson.

But most of the time in the second and third games, Durant defended him, and Sun Ce faced Durant, and it was not easy to play in the low position, so he went less, and even if he went, he would not play well.

Although Durant's defense is not as good as Prince's, his Sun Someone's low-post offense is not as good as Pierce, Kobe, and Anthony, Pierce and Kobe, and Anthony don't play well in the low post against Prince's defense, and he Sun Someone plays Durant similarly.

Sun Ce watched the video clips of the past two games again, and he understood that they had done their best on the offensive end, and they had adjusted everything they could, and the other party had adjusted, so they were naturally working hard to adjust, but this was already the best.

Then you have to seek a breakthrough, that is, you must have a way of playing that the opponent does not expect.

The first two games did not use the star experience card, because they were not prepared to use it from the beginning, and they were confident that they could win, and the game did not fall behind, even if it was the second game, it was predicted that Durant's performance in the second half would most likely decline, because Durant's physical distribution in the second game was not good, and they were confident that they could recover the score, so Sun Ce kept playing style, and didn't he win.

But now that it has been killed, and the opponent is fighting at home, his confidence must have increased greatly.

The key is that the Grizzlies are known as the youth army, but in fact, only his grandson is a young star, Paul George and Klay are not stars, and Gasol Jr. is 26 years old.

And the Thunder, the Super Youth Army! The momentum of the four super young stars has risen and cannot be contained.

In the first game, Sun Ce already had some ideas because of Randolph's low-post attack, but it was too easy to win that game, he didn't need to specify that person, and now he can use it!
