In the third quarter, the Thunder continued to rely on the individual ability of the stars to bite the score, only trailing by 4 points into the final quarter.

Harden blew up Curry in a single quarter, scoring 10 points himself, and Curry made 0 of 4 shots and didn't score a point.

The Thunder's Harden is the Harden who has not opened the wheel, his defense is not bad, it can even be said to be very good, he played against Kobe Bryant most of the time in the last round of the series, and the Kobe Bryant shooting rate was very low, and he also threw two threes.

Bruce Bowen, a well-known defensive player who made a guest appearance as a radio commentator, praised Harden during the game, saying that he has the height, the weight and the ability to keep up with his feet.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the reason for Harden's deterioration of defense was probably Artest's strong elbow, as if there were sequelae, and Harden's defense didn't like to make physical contact with people since then.

Of course, it may also be that after Harden entered the Rockets and became the core, he took on more offensive responsibilities, and his lack of physical strength led to a stroke on the defensive end.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Westbrook went to rest, and the Thunder immediately collapsed, being beaten by the outside line composed of Paul, Danny Green, and Korver.

Brooks is helpless, and this is still the premise that he has Durant and Harden on the court with substitutes. With a little bit of will, Paul made it easy for Fisher to let Harden defend Paul, and Green was able to face Fisher for a pull-out jumper.

Paul broke through in a row and handed out assists, and the Clippers went on a 13-0 run, and morale was high.

Brooks replaced the Thunder Sanshao and Ibaka, and the score couldn't be recovered.

In the second half, Westbrook began to gamble and shoot three-pointers in order to chase points, he had a height bounce advantage, and he could avoid the block in the face of Paul's dry pull, but his three-point shooting rate was too low, only 29.1% since entering the playoffs, and he may have had it in recent seasons except for a few convulsions.

Wei is undercover if he shoots three points less, and he can't shoot if he doesn't shoot, Guy and Battier take turns to interfere with Durant, and it is difficult for him to shoot easily.

After Wei Shao made 1 of 5 three-point shots, the Thunder trailed by 20 points, and the game went into garbage time with less than 4 minutes left.

At this time, many people on the Internet began to say: "Only Westbrook can prevent Durant."

It's very unfair to say this, without Wei Shao, the Thunder will lack a breakthrough strongman, and in the face of the Clippers joint defense, they will only die worse, and they may not even be able to force the opponent to shrink, how to shoot three points?

At 117-92 in the end, the Clippers won at home.

Winning by 25 points was one-sided, and all the commentators who broadcast the game said they were not optimistic about the Thunder's prospects.

After the game, Yang Rui commented on the game and pointed out the weakness of the Thunder.

"The Thunder have too few offensive points, mainly relying on three people, how can the Clippers lose? We have three guys on the All-Defensive Team, and if I wanted to step up defensively, the Thunder might not have scored 80 points in the game. Once they fall behind, they have to sacrifice defense and attack in order to chase points, and I'm not targeting anyone, I mean all teams, fighting offense with the Clippers are self-defeating. ”

Yang Rui's elder brother-style comments have made headlines again, and everyone knows that he no longer takes Thunder in his eyes.

On the Internet, fans also feel that the Thunder three are too young, and they may become stronger in the future, but it is definitely not this season.

Yang Rui's arrogant attitude is also psychological warfare, for young players, being pointed out by opponents to weaknesses, their psychological pressure will increase, and it will be more difficult to play well.

Brooks and the assistant coach discussed countermeasures, but they couldn't figure out how to prevent the Clippers' offense, and it was not good to not let Fisher play.

Sending Perkins, the defensive guard struggles, he doesn't move sideways fast, and it's easy to be passed when he changes defenses. Ibaka can defend against pick-and-rolls, but the protection of the penalty area is not enough.

Although Ibaka was selected to the All-Defensive Team, his type has limitations, average height, excellent help defense, and single defense is a hard injury, and many interior scorers can beat him one-on-one.

Griffin's shooting is not very accurate, but if he holds the ball and rushes inside, it is James's kind of tank-style breakthrough, carrying people hard, Duncan can't defend well, let alone Ibaka?

In the second game, the Thunder's strategy was to strengthen the confrontation and foul more resolutely to deal with the Clippers' breakthrough.

Griffin's free throws in the regular season were down a lot from last season, averaging just 52.1 percent shooting per game and 3.7 of 7.1 shots. That's why Griffin didn't have anything to do with the MVP selection, and he looks like he's regressed from last season.

But in the playoffs, Griffin rebounded from the free-throw line, and his shooting percentage rose to 63.6%, which is not qualified among stars, but if he is cut, it will not reduce the scoring efficiency. He scored six points on five offensive attempts, which was about the same as his overall shooting percentage.

Chandler's free throw shooting percentage is also 65% in the playoffs, and he doesn't shoot much, and he mainly dunks under the basket, which is a headache for the Thunder.

On the other hand, the Thunder were almost scoreless on the inside, relying on three fewer shots.

Durant shot 12-of-22, 4-of-10 from three-point range and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 32 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist; Westbrook finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-26 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers and 5-of-7 free throws. Harden played 35 minutes off the bench and finished with 21 points, four rebounds and two assists on 7-of-11 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 5-of-7 free throws.

Except for the three of them, no one from the Thunder scored in double figures, 109-96, and the Clippers won another game to take a 2-0 lead in the overall score.

Paul was 10-of-20 shooting, 0-of-1 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line to finish with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists.

He and Westbrook are different types of guards, the offense is almost all to find the wrong position, he breaks through when the inside line is defended, and when the inside line shrinks back, he stops and jumps, how to make the opponent uncomfortable, he comes.

Curry was even crazier, scoring 32 points and five assists on 10-of-21 shooting, 8-of-14 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

This Curry is worthy of the Chinese name of "Ku Hao", his task is to hold the ball and throw, catch and throw, the Thunder took the bag and did not prevent it, as he convulsed more and more, the help to the team became more and more.

After the game, the reporter asked Yang Rui to evaluate Curry. "A lot of people say that Curry is a player who relies on the system, and the reason why he is strong is because you arranged a three-point strategy for him, and he can't do it without the system, what do you think?"

Yang Rui thought for a while and said with a smile: "I think the people who discuss this are boring people, too idle." If a star doesn't need an offensive and defensive system to win, what else does a basketball coach do? Does anyone think that the most unique one is the best star? ”

The reporter who asked the question was very embarrassed, he wanted to write news on this topic, and he was a boring person in Yang Rui's mouth.

Another reporter asked, "So what heights do you think Curry can reach in the future?" ”

"He's an All-Star, he needs to work harder to improve, he's good offensively, and he needs to improve defensively."

Now, no one thinks Curry can become the regular season MVP in the future, only Yang Rui knows that he has the potential.

If Curry is an ordinary player who relies purely on the system, there is no need for the Thunder to be desperate after the block, and it is completely possible to force the point guard to bypass the cover and chase the defense like he did with Paul, and the interior line is just a little bit of interference, so that Paul does not easily stop and jump shots.

It's also not appropriate to say that Curry has his own system. Curry splits the ball when he's trapped, and if his teammates aren't good at shooting or can't force the basket, he can't score, and he's not the kind of guy who shoots a nine.

If you want to say which of the stars of a dozen or nine can lead the team to win, Yang Rui will definitely choose Curry, because the basketball game is five people, and it has always been.
