994. Crazy Black Bear Strikes! (4th Update)
This is...... Durant paused for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is a bath action!
The meaning of the guy who killed that day was obvious - I can't drink my girl's bathwater, can I do it?
Not to mention Durant, the fans at the scene understood it and let out a deafening boo.
Westbrook saw Sun Ce's movements and heard the boos, but it didn't matter, it was normal for the opponent to provoke.
Overall, Westbrook admires Sun, who loves to spew trash talk, but not Garnett's scornful swearing, but the kind of trash talk that an old-school player like Westbrook thinks.
This silent bathwater greeting, if it weren't for Durant being a teammate, Westbrook would definitely show a turtle smile.
Harden covered his head, he felt that the two would never be friends in their lives.
As for the rest of the Thunder team, many of them are players selected by the Thunder team themselves, or they came to the Thunder early in their careers, and have been with the team to the point where they are expected to become the best team in the league.
Seeing Durant being ridiculed, his teammates were excited.
The players on the Grizzlies' side were having fun, and Randolph, who had average expression management skills, laughed directly.
Coach Hollins sighed helplessly when he saw Sun Ce provoking the other side, he didn't think there was anything wrong, he simply felt that Sun Ce was very underwhelmed.
And is it possible for Sun Ce to be beaten...... This Coach Hollins is not worried, first of all, Sun Ce is not a good person, he will definitely retaliate if he provokes him, and there is Randolph, the famous black and fat Da.
As for whether this will anger the opponent and cause the opponent to play with his life in this game, the Thunder have already started to play with their lives in the past two games, and if the opponent is not calm and exerts too much force on both offensive and defensive ends, Coach Hollins is happy to see such a situation.
In fact, in the third game, their Grizzlies played better than the second, but they were still beaten by the Thunder team, mainly because Durant had a better physical distribution, and the Thunder played better in the second half than in the first half.
The two teams made the final pre-match preparations, and at 7:58 p.m., Sun Ce put on his equipment for the camera and wiped some magnesium powder with his starting teammates.
Sun Ce came to the center circle, and Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. each took their positions.
Seeing Ibaka come to the middle circle, Sun Ce wanted to scold the other side of the despicable villain, after he won Perkins in the first jump ball, the opponent changed to Ibaka to jump the ball, this guy is one finger taller than him, and his arm span is one centimeter longer.
"Ibaka, 22, A, Offensive B, Defensive S; Westbrook, 23, A+, Offensive S-, Defensive A-; Durant, 23, S, offensive S+, defensive B+; Perkins, 27, B, Offensive C, Defensive A; Sefrosa, 28, B, Offensive C+, Defensive A-......"
On the opposite side of the starter, Sun Ce feels that the future is limitless every time he looks at it, the weakest defensive Durant is a quasi-first-class B+ level, and it is also the type of person who restrains him, and there is a management on the bench who is not close to the coach and does not like to be stunned is to play his own strength to improve to the A-level Harden.
Fortunately, their side is also very strong, Gasol Jr. A+ level strength, S-level defense, Tony teacher S-level defense.
Paul George has also improved to A+ defense in the playoffs, and even because of his playoff performance, people have noticed that he is already excellent defense in the regular season, and has a chance to score a lot of points in tomorrow's All-Defensive Team vote, and is even expected to hit the second defense.
It's a little bit worse than Randolph's good edge defense in the B-class, but it's not very important, as long as Randolph doesn't become a hole.
Usually before the game, I will pretend to be a friendly high-five, but today it is directly gone, and the two teams will not stand up at the starters
At 7 o'clock, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, threw the ball into the air, and Sun Ce jumped hard...... Immediately after landing, retreat.
Ibaka won the jump ball and the Thunder attacked first.
Continuing the style of play in the previous game, Perkins roamed around the edge of the three-second zone waiting to receive the ball, Sefrosa pulled to the touchline, and Serbaka and Durant ran to open space and create passing opportunities for Westbrook Clara.
Westbrook faced Paul George's defense and broke through the inside, Westbrook's physical fitness was really speechless, and Paul George didn't seem to be affected, and the super straight acceleration went straight to the basket.
This time, the Grizzlies didn't flank the shot, Paul George defended very hard, and Westbrook burst to the basket and jumped to the lever to throw...... It was so close that he didn't score, and Sun Ce quickly retracted it to collect the defensive rebound.
couldn't fight a counterattack, the Thunder team retreated quickly, Perkins also had a strong sense of counterattack, Sun Ce won the rebound, he immediately came up to block it, forcing Sun Ce to protect the ball.
Seeing Perkins quickly retreat after blocking it, Sun Ce was not in a hurry, slowly controlled the ball and advanced, pressed the rhythm, and waited for Paul George and Gasol Jr. to open up the space after arriving in the front court, and Tony Allen went to the right baseline to prepare to cut.
After Randolph got Perkins into position, Sun Ce hoisted the ball in.
Randolph singles Perkins, Perkins is a pretty good low-post defender, tonnage, likes physical contact, A-level first-class defense is quite good, Howard defense is very good, is a center that Popovich has coveted for a long time but can't get his hands on, but it is still a little worse to defend against Randolph.
Randolph is not afraid of Perkins' type of center, he is not good at dealing with tall insiders, such as Gasol, Yao Ming, Chandler, Perkins is a short center, and the speed is ordinary, Randolph easily turned two times in a row and hit a layup with a low hand.
Randolph was quick and threw the ball before Ibaka could get into place.
The Thunder can't guard against Randolph, Randolph is their Grizzlies' best player in this series, the Thunder have Durant who averages 34 points per game in this series, and they rely on Randolph, who averages 31 points per game, to compete.
At the beginning of the game, Paul George and Randolph did a very good job.
The two teams play very clearly, the Thunder team actually has no routine on the offense, Durant has to maintain his physical strength in the first half, no chisel, just run to catch the ball and shoot, occasionally catch the turtle's pot, keep the physical strength to defend Sun Ce and fire in the second half, Westbrook has been playing breakthrough shots from the beginning of the game.
The Grizzlies started the game with Randolph, and when they were tired and needed to slow down for a while, it was Sun Ce and Gasol Jr.'s turn to break through.
It seems to be the rhythm of the last two games.
Durant and other Thunder players feel a little strange, and the result of their pre-game meeting is that the other party will definitely seek changes in the fourth game, because in terms of the previous two games, their Thunder team has begun to take the initiative, and the other party will definitely not continue to play the rhythm that their Thunder team wants, and their Thunder team must want to continue to play this kind of game between the stars of the two teams against Biao, because they are getting more and more proficient.
But tonight the Grizzlies didn't seem to change at all, what was the head coach on the other side thinking? Durant doesn't understand, but this is just right, so slowly grinding to the critical moment, their side is more dominant!
Coach Hollins on the sidelines was also wondering, what about the change tonight?
But as they fought, the Thunder felt a little bit wrong.
Randolph and Sun Ce on the opposite side are also too fierce!
Sun Ce is okay, Sun Ce suddenly started to break through crazy in the last game, but their Thunder team can defend against Sun Ce, even if Sun Ce uses blocking and dismantling, they can also do a good job of blocking and dismantling, Ibaka's ability to defend against small is very good, Sun Ce's breakthrough success rate is not high, mainly because of the connection with Gasol Jr.
But Randolph started the game with three in a row, then took a few minutes of rest, and then started chiseling again!
It's not the same as the last three! Even Randolph, who scored 19 points in a single quarter in the first quarter of the first game, actually played 6 singles, 3 each after the opening and the first official timeout, and the rest of the time was rushing to grab rebounds, this time he actually took a break and continued to play!
And Sun Ce's role is not to connect with Gasol Jr. to support his teammates, but to create a break for Randolph with a very aggressive style of play on his side.
In the first quarter, Randolph played 9 singles, plus offensive rebounds, for a total of 11 shots! The Grizzlies only made 20 shots in the first quarter, and Randolph shot more than half of the Grizzlies' total shots with offensive rebounds!
Even in the odd offensive rounds, Randolph's singles accounted for half of the Grizzlies' offensive rounds!
Randolph, who shot 7-of-11 and 3-of-5 free throws, scored 17 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter!
Coupled with Sun Ce's 6 points, Mr. Tony received two points from Gasol Jr., and the Grizzlies scored 25 points in the first quarter!
The Grizzlies' starting lineup played the entire quarter, except for Randolph's singles, the Grizzlies focused on defense, the Thunder only scored 19 points in the first quarter, and the Grizzlies led by 6 points in the first quarter.
But the Thunder only scored 19 points in the first quarter, trailing by 6 points, and they didn't panic, but it felt a little incredible after returning to the bench during the break.
In fact, even if their Thunder team is 6 points behind, they are not at a big disadvantage, Randolph plays like this, how to do it in the next three quarters?
Even if Randolph could finish the first half like this, what about the second half? Randolph is much more tired in the low post than Durant's singles, Durant kept playing singles in the first half, and he could play well in the fourth quarter of the third quarter, but Randolph's style of play is definitely not good.
Thunder head coach Brooks analyzed the players according to common sense: "They want to quickly play a lead in the first quarter, Randolph must rest, we have an advantage in the second quarter, we must take advantage of the time when the opposite offensive firepower declines before Randolph rests to chase the score back, but we can't rush to overtake the score, play slowly, and play more in the end......
With that, Brooks began to lay out his tactics.
The Thunder players felt that this statement made a lot of sense, and after listening to the tactical arrangement, the break was almost over, and Durant took Westbrook, Harden, Daequine Cook, and Muhammad to prepare to go up and compete with the fast offensive lineup with Nash, forcing the opponent to slow down and play defense.
Their lineup is not afraid of running and bombing.
In addition to being stunned in the first game, they limited Nash well in the second and third games, Nash only scored 6 points and 5 assists in the second game, and directly changed to a pitcher in the third game, scoring 10 points and 3 assists.
If the Grizzlies were a pure bombardment team, Durant would find Nash difficult to deal with, but the Grizzlies were not.
Just as Durant walked onto the court, he saw a black bear on the opposite side of the court again-the black bear who said yes was going to rest?
