Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

In the first game of the finals, Durant was successfully beaten and doubted his life. embarrassed

Because he didn't understand why he and his brothers played well, but still couldn't beat the opponent, and even got abused by as much as 20 points!

This is definitely a huge blow to Durant. After all, he made bold words before the game, but he was beaten back to his original form in one game...

This can't help but make the sullen Adu feel a little ashamed.

If I had known earlier, I would have kept a low profile!

Seemingly seeing his brother's loss, Westbrook came over to comfort him and said, "It's okay buddy, you're playing very well, not much worse than Zuo Li, we lost because Harden didn't fully play, but it's just It’s just the first game, we still have a lot of chances, go back to training, I believe that we will win in the end!”

Harden, who was equally depressed, became even more depressed when he heard Westbrook's words...

How could this be a step on one hand! embarrassed

And are you sure Durant will be happy to hear that...

Well, Adu didn't listen at all.

He knows the character of his brother too well. To put it nicely, he is bold and carefree, but to put it bluntly, he is a bit sloppy. He often speaks more directly, and he can say whatever comes to mind. In fact, there is no malice.

However, if you listen to it too much, you will still get angry and get hurt internally. Simply, Adu has already practiced the magical skill of closing his ears.

Just as he was about to say something perfunctory to Westbrook, Durant saw the widow sister in a low-cut dress over there hugging Zuo Li excitedly, then raised her head and chatted intimately.

Kala...

Durant heard his own heartbroken voice. embarrassed

"Win, you must win!" Adu, who had reacted, turned his grief and anger into strength, turned around and shouted at Westbrook: "It's just the first game, we haven't lost yet, go, follow me to practice!"

Westbrook didn't know why, and thought that his comfort had worked, and couldn't help showing the innocent smile of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Only the veteran Harden showed the smile of an old driver...

As expected of a big brother...

But Harden didn't expect that his smile happened to be captured by the camera, and then he was sprayed...

"Xiaoxiaoxiao! It's still a while away, I will blame you if I lose this game! The Thunder's third young master is not worthy of the name." Barkley lashed out at Harden.

That's right, the game is over, the players have dispersed, and it's time for the commentator to resume. embarrassed

Needless to say for the Knicks, the hero of victory is of course Zuo Li, who won a 40+ triple-double.

With 43 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 blocks, he shot 70% from the field.

How difficult it is to have a triple-double in the finals, but Zuo Li has scored a triple-double in the finals for four consecutive seasons. With such strength, he deserves the MVP of this game.

The other players are indeed all villains. Except for Zuo Li, the whole team threw a total of 17 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting rate of 50.1%, and the efficiency value is very high.

Especially Shane Battier, who made 7 of 9 three-pointers and scored 21 points. He is also considered to be the surprise soldier of the Knicks tonight!

Others also played very well, including Danny Green who made 3 of 6 three-pointers, Curry with 14 points and 6 assists, Randolph with 16 points and 9 rebounds, and David Lee with 11 points and 7 rebounds. They are all victorious.

Naturally, there is no need to talk about this kind of performance, so the focus is on Thunder. embarrassed

As the saying goes, when the game is over, it's time to share the pot.

The second young master played very well, just like he did in the Western Conference. Naturally, Harden was the best sixth man of the season.

Harden, who averaged 18 points per game in the three rounds of the Western Conference, only scored 7 points tonight. This kind of performance is obviously not enough to satisfy everyone.

So there is no way, he will take the blame for it!

Poor Harden, I didn't know until I got back to the hotel that he had become the target of public criticism. Apart from scolding him on the Internet, they were giving him advice, and there was no one saying that he performed well.

Even Brooks said in the night talk that Harden needs to find his own state.

Back in the room, the depressed Harden couldn't sleep for half the night, because he thought he played well, and the low score was because he sacrificed for the team. embarrassed

Here I have to say the biggest problem with the Thunder, and that is the mediocre perimeter defense.

How did they make it to the Finals?

The opponents the Thunder faced in the first three rounds of the Western Conference playoffs this year were the Mavericks, the Lakers and the Spurs. These three teams have a common feature that the lineup is too old. Fighting back, using San Shao's excellent individual singles to tear through the opponent's defense time and time again, this trick has been tried repeatedly by Thunder!

But this time they faced the Knicks, Zuo Li, and Curry in the finals, they are not old, so the Thunder's weakness was exposed immediately.

Just like this time, the Thunder can rely on Ibaka and Perkins' efforts to double-team Zuo Li, but after Zuo Li passed the pass, the Thunder couldn't prevent the Knicks' outside shot.

Not to mention that when Zuo Li took the initiative to pull out, the huge space made it easier for the Knicks to play outside.

The main problem here is on the defensive end! embarrassed

Especially Durant!

In the finals in history, due to his too thin body, Durant had a big defensive problem, and the Thunder did not dare to let him directly face James. The entire series was dominated by Sefolosha and Harden. Durant Like Curry of the Knicks, hide as much as possible on the defensive end, and even guard the Heat point guard Chalmers.

But even so, the effect was not good. Chalmers even said in an interview after the game: "KD came to defend me, but he didn't need to respect me."

Harden didn't meet James and Wade tonight, but his task was not easy.

Whether it's Curry, Danny Green, or even Battier later, he needs him to help defend.

Not only that, when Durant didn't dare to leave Battier, Harden had to keep helping to defend the inside.

That's Zuo Li. embarrassed

Originally on the offensive end, Harden was one of the team's most important organizers. After both Westbrook and Durant fell into singles, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Harden needs to take on the task of connecting the team's offense. Although the effect is not very good, but also lost a lot of offensive opportunities.

On the defensive end, when Harden is on the court, he needs to defend the Knicks' outside shooters. It's hard to use all your strength.

So Harden only had 7 points this time, but it's not all Harden's problem.

Of course, Harden himself is not tough enough at critical moments, and his personality makes him absolutely unsuitable to be the boss, but it is more than enough to be the third.

So the boss and the second can't let the third take the blame...

It's no wonder that the Thunder gave up Harden after this season because of 5 million. Their understanding of Harden is problematic.

...embarrassed

An angry Harden vowed to prove himself in the second game, but the Knicks did not give him this opportunity.

In the second game, the Knicks took the initiative to change their style of play. Zuo Li no longer went to the low post, but kept pulling out to make breakthroughs.

Perkins couldn't keep up, and Ibaka was pulled out, but Zuo Li kept letting Battier pick and roll, and then went to singles Durant!

Poor Adu was constantly called by Zuo Li, and he was out of breath and put on an ice pack at halftime...

So Harden had to take Durant's place in the second half...

109-89, another 20-point victory, the Knicks lead 2-0.

Harden was sent off with 9 points and 6 fouls in a single game, and continues to sit firmly in the position of the king of the pot! embarrassed
