Chapter 254 2 Wins Over Thunder
For the Thunder, the outside world is already pessimistic.
Brooks and Harden received the most scolding. In the first game, if Harden was not in a sluggish state, the Thunder would have hoped to win.
As for Brooks, when your team's lineup on paper is strong enough and you lose, it seems reasonable for the head coach to take the blame. Fans don't care whether the Thunder's lineup is deformed or not. There are three players who entered the best team, namely Durant in the first team, Westbrook in the second team, and Harden in the third team.
In the Suns, only Weidong entered the first team of the best team.
Two days later.
The Suns ushered in Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals at home.
Brooks also made some tactical adjustments, and the fans also gave Brooks some ideas, probably to let Harden play, and the Thunder would have the hope of defeating the Suns.
otherwise
Your bench lineup is not as good as others, Durant is not as good as Weidong, and you can win the Suns?
Everything must be viewed dialectically. Fans complain about the Thunder in different ways, and give different ideas.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the American West Arena was packed.
The Thunder's starting lineup remains the same, but the Suns made adjustments to replace Green and put Tucker in the starting position. In the last game, Tucker was particularly effective in defending Harden.
Gortat and Ibaka are already standing on both sides of the center circle ready to jump the ball.
Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals is officially underway!
"Snapped!!!"
Gortat gave Curry the racket, and Curry handed the ball to Weidong.
The Thunder players quickly settled down, and Durant was to defend Weidong. Weidong beckoned and signaled Tucker to go outside the three-point line to set him a pick-and-roll.
"What a rubbish tactic!"
Seeing this scene, Brooks snorted, but he didn't stand on the sidelines and yell.
At this time, the players need to adjust themselves on the court. Tucker helped Weidong pick and roll, so Weidong easily passed Durant and got a shot from outside the three-point line.
Harden comes up on defense
At this time, McGrady had an open spot, Weidong flicked his wrist, and the basketball fell into McGrady's hands.
"Shh!!!"
After McGrady received the ball, he pulled out a jumper and the basketball went into the net.
2:0! ! !
McGrady hit the first goal of the game.
The Thunder attacked. Durant's shot was interfered by Weidong. The basketball bounced off the rim. After Ibaka grabbed the rebound, he took off vigorously and prepared to complete the attack with a dunk.
But
Weidong, who was still defending Durant just now, actually appeared on the inside, and then put his big hand on the basketball and slapped the ball away.
"That's why I was able to get the block leader."
Wei Dong said something expressionless, then strolled to the front court.
Which one of the blocks just now, the fan-flying basketball was snatched by McGrady, and he went straight to the fast break, and then dunked successfully.
4:0! ! !
In the opening minute, Weidong showed the dominance of the regular season MVP on both offense and defense.
Brooks is sullen. If Harden is replaced by Weidong, why not dominate?but can't change
Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. When he was one step away from the three-point line, he paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated, passed between McGrady and Curry, and then took off with one step, lifting the basketball with one hand, his body Pull into an arch.
The player defending inside is Weidong, and Westbrook also saw Weidong. Westbrook's style of play belongs to the aesthetics of violence. His usual trick is to use super explosive power to quickly rush to the basket, and then use dunks to end it!
However, just the night before, Weidong abruptly blocked his dunk.
This time, Westbrook wants to prove himself!
"Snapped!!!"
But Weidong pressed his hand on the basketball again, and the fan flew out!
Westbrook, "???"
After being blocked again, Westbrook's face was very ugly, but he didn't ask the referee for a foul, but he was horrified in his heart, how could there be a player like Weidong.
How can a player who is good at organization and likes to shoot three-pointers have such strength and bounce?
The ball fell into Harden's hands. After receiving the ball, Harden made a shooting fake, shook Tucker away, and then turned around and made a small throw.
"Snapped!!!"
The basketball was thrown by Wei Dong again.
"Beautiful, Brother Dong!"
Gentry sat on the bench and shouted excitedly: "This is Phoenix, the inside line is inviolable!"
2 minutes into the first quarter.
The Thunder didn't score a point, but Weidong sent out three caps!
This can't help but make the fans reminisce about the game against the Thunder in the regular season. Weidong gave all the Thunder players a cap!
In the opening 2 minutes, Weidong used defense to disrupt the Thunder's offensive rhythm.
And in this game, not only Harden was in a downturn, but Westbrook was also a bit down. After he was blocked by Weidong, his offense became more impulsive.
Instead, the Suns.
Has been methodical offense, Tracy McGrady and Curry feel good.
The first quarter is over.
27:16! ! !
The Thunder scored only 16 points in the first quarter, 11 of which were scored by Durant.
In the second quarter, when Weidong and Durant were resting off the court, Nash led the bench lineup and expanded the point difference to 20 points in one go.
Then Durant and Weidong played.
These tactical arrangements were discussed with Gentry before the game.
Against the Thunder, Weidong's main energy will be on defense. As for offense, the Suns have enough firepower, and there are too many players who can stand up at critical moments.
This game was quickly overwhelmed.
With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Suns replaced the main players. Warrick, Whiteside, Green, Tucker, and Middleton played.
These five rookies, Warrick's drinking fountains all the year round, before Tucker joined the Suns, only played 6 or [-] minutes in a game, and Whiteside was so miserable that he had no ball to play!
But with such a lineup, the Thunder can't beat the bench!
"Beep!!!"
As the referee blew his whistle, the game ended.
107:76! ! !
The Suns beat the Thunder by 31 points at home and won Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.
