The game continues.

The Thunder became more and more comfortable on the offensive end, and Li Muhua directly shot three-pointers when he found an open space. With Li Muhua opening up the space, Durant got the open shot, and Jefferson's follow-up defense affected the defensive quality.

If there is a double-team, the Spurs know how powerful Li Muhua's pass is.

What's more, with Popovich's stubbornness, he would never choose to double-team for a three-point shooter.

Once people get old, they are either stubborn or confused.

Especially in this game, Roger Mason, who was a bit useless, was always on the court, and Popovich, who was angry, kept yelling from the sidelines, but he never replaced Roger Mason.

Who knows what's going on in Popovich's head.

The opening of the outside line has given many opportunities to the inside line. Durant can also open up the space. The Thunder team has returned to the beginning of the season. Westbrook is a good supplement, he can attack, and he can also support , Coupled with Green's inside skills, scoring does not seem to be very difficult.

Krstic's performance was very average, 1 for 0 at the basket, and too few shots. There is nothing to say about this.

The Thunder quickly made adjustments after being unable to start the game. Durant gradually stabilized, and Li Muhua also put most of his energy on offense. Generally speaking, it would be better to let Li Muhua defend attack.

As far as Li Muhua's defensive quality is concerned, he is not much better than Harden.

As for the Spurs, the worst performer was Roger Mason, who scored a three-pointer but turned the Spurs into porridge on offense.

Rookie De Juan made 6 of 4 shots and turned the Thunder's inside line into a scumbag. However, with Green's help defense, he finally restrained a little. Green worked hard to carry the Thunder's inside line role, which is enough.

In the first quarter, the Spurs had a good touch, and the Thunder were only 5 points behind.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides carried out substitute rotation.

The Spurs routinely brought in Ginobili and replaced Roger Mason with George Hill.

The Spurs have a deep background. It is not difficult to see from the bench that even Parker did not stay on the court. With Ginobili, Popovich is still very relieved.

Nominally, Ginobili is the sixth man, but everyone knows in his heart that this is an All-Star player, capable of both inside and outside, and is regarded as the core of other teams, only the Spurs are different, The alternative tactical arrangement, on the contrary, allowed the Spurs to have sufficient play in the substitute stage.

Many teams are learning from the Spurs and want to build an All-Star sixth man.

Li Muhua was also off the field. The confrontation with the Spurs was fierce, and it was very important to recover his strength.

In this game, Eric Maynor, who has been guarding the drinking fountain for the Thunder, got a chance to play as a backup point guard.

Maynor is the same as Li Muhua at the beginning, his body looks the same, but Maynor is a first-round pick. Of course, after the Jazz traded Maynor, Maynor is very low-key, usually quiet, and has never received anything. His chances of playing are much worse than Li Muhua's back then.

The media also said a lot of good things about Maynor some time ago, the purest point guard in the NCAA.

Li Muhua also observed Mayno during training, and found that this young man is really good at playing, has vision, and handles the ball well. He may have less experience in terms of the overall situation. The only bad thing is that he just looks at the ball after passing play.

Lazier than Harden. That's not true, I just feel that after passing the ball, I have nothing to do with myself.

Playing is too real, and it doesn't care about the team after handing over the ball.

In this case, there is no defense at all, especially the backcourt where Maynor and Harden partnered with the bench.

The picture was so beautiful that Li Muhua couldn't bear to look at it.

George Hill started to play, breaking the Thunder's back line into a sieve.

George Hill at the small forward position is rather awkward. In the Spurs, he was a shooting guard for a while, and played the [-]st position for a while. However, his skills are very comprehensive, and Li Muhua's level can't prevent him, let alone the first time he played. Meno is gone.

The back line was broken by George Hill one after another, and Maynor's face was flushed.

Harden, who is also a rookie, helped to save the field. George Hill didn't pay attention at all, and still forced a breakthrough. Ibaka under the basket assisted in the defense. George Hill passed it to McDyess, and McDyess directly made a jumper. hit.

McDyess's strength is fully capable of starting, and playing power forward is above the league level.

Especially the defensive strength, both offensive and defensive ends blasted Ibaka, and his footsteps were very flexible. Ibaka reacted a little slower, and McDyess found space and made a shot.

The Thunder attacked, and Harden used the screen to quickly pass back to Maynor. Maynor chose to break through and pass to Ibaka who made an air cut. Ibaka forced a dunk from the basket.

The offense organized by passing the ball played quite well.

The offensive firepower of the Thunder's bench lineup is not weak, but the Spurs are doing better and have no advantage at all.

The substitute lineup of Ginobili and McDyess can not only make up for the connection between the front and back courts, but also has a high defensive intensity. , the score was further opened.

In the second quarter, when Li Muhua came on, the Thunder trailed by 12 points.

At the beginning, the Spurs attacked, and Li Muhua and Ginobili faced each other. They played several games a year, and everyone was familiar with each other. After continuous training, Li Muhua was not afraid of the matchup. The defense finds some advantage.

Li Muhua relied on his insight into the movement to take off first, blocking Ginobili's shot space, and Ginobili hit the iron.

Ibaka grabbed the rebound and threw it directly to Li Muhua. After halftime, Li Muhua quickly broke through Ginobili with the help of a screen and rushed into the crowd. There was chaos near the free throw line. At this time, the ball in Li Muhua's hand disappeared.

Durant catches the ball in the air and dunks.

The Spurs didn't expect to pass the ball at this time, and Durant's cut into the basket was very weird.

Parker passed the ball, Ginobili attacked with the ball, Li Muhua blocked the front again, Ginobili didn't make a strong play, but threw it to McDyess under the basket.

Ibaka and Krstic directly double-teamed and prevented McDyess who was overwhelmed under the basket. Unfortunately, Westbrook didn't grab a rebound, but instead gave McDyess a foul for grabbing a rebound.

Two free throws were made, Westbrook took control of the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Li Muhua again, this time Li Muhua and Westbrook hit the wall, rushed in, Ginobili followed, Li Muhua quickly passed to Green .

Green made an easy shot from the bottom corner, and George Hill's help defense leaked the open space.
