NBA super point guard

No one thought that the Thunder would win Game [-] on the road, and the Mavericks didn't seem to be doing their best.

Leaving the field, the home audience boos have all pointed to the dejected Mavericks players.

After the game, the Dallas Morning News directly hit the headline:

"Is this another losing season for the Mavericks?"

"The big farmer Cuban continued to reinforce the Mavericks, and gave the best treatment to the players, as well as the famous tactician Carlisle. Everything can't cover up the fact that the Mavericks lost at home."

The sports media in Dallas was furious, obviously unable to accept such a result.

Telegram:
"The Thunder is just a team that was at the bottom of the Western Conference last season. The rookie coach and rookie players. For them, entering the playoffs is just a dream. Well, the dream has come true. It can only be said that the Thunder team is really lucky. Very good, not only avoided the defending champion, but also slapped the Dallas people hard, let these proud cowboys see what is the future of the league!"

"Dirk! Are you going to spread the jerk style all over Dallas?"

ESPN:

"The powerful Mavericks in the West suffered a disastrous defeat at home, and the youth team made the old cowboys feel ashamed!"

FOX Sports:

"The next game is the best! The Thunder played the most dazzling battle of the season!"

"In the Dallas All-Star Game, Kevin Durant's starlight has not dissipated, and at the moment when Dallas became a star, it is destined that Kevin Durant's light has spread all over Dallas. Yes, there is only one All-Star Under such circumstances, the Mavericks are simply unable to stop the Thunder's edge, and perhaps the biggest dark horse in this round of playoffs happened here!"

The Oklahoman:
"The first round of the playoffs has come to an end. The ranking of the East is basically in line with the record, but the West is surprising. The Trail Blazers and the Thunder, the two young guards, both won the first game. Victory, home court advantage!"

"Perhaps, the pattern of the NBA has changed from now on. Thanks to the Thunder, I wish Oklahoma will go further!"

In the three games in the West on April 4, two games became dark horses, and the media shouted that the West is about to change.

Before the rankings of the playoffs came out, the teams in the Western Conference did not determine their rankings until the last game. This is rarely seen in the history of the NBA. Whether it's the experience of the game or the strength of the lineup, they are fully capable of competing for the Western Conference championship. It was only the first game that caused the media to go crazy.

The Suns were even more depressing. Phoenix actually lost the first game to the Trail Blazers with constant injuries.

As for yesterday's game, there was no suspense at all, and it was enough to lose with all the home court advantage.

The defending champion Lakers that people are most concerned about, in the Lakers battle, beat the Spurs to death. Popovich's crazy deployment of troops could not stop Kobe who felt hot. Both sides played defense, and the final loser was still It's the Spurs.

Until the end of the Lakers and Horses war, many people were still unsatisfied, but when they saw the last two Western Conference games later, they just fell asleep.

Both the Trail Blazers and the Thunder are on the next game, how is this game played.

ESPN kept replaying the two games, and the ratings rose for a time, even catching up with the ratings of the Western Conference Finals the year before.

Completely unexpected, the first game of the hype got a lot of ratings.

Back at the hotel, Brooks ordered a silence, and no one was allowed to participate in media interviews.

"The current wind direction is not good for us. Scott and I have watched many times the film. The Mavericks obviously didn't take us to heart. There were many negligence on defense, including the second quarter, LI your play, and the offense against you. The double-teaming was not completely formed, so our tactics ran out!"

Early the next morning, Brooks called the players for a meeting, and Kalamanda poured cold water on the players with a serious expression.

In fact, the media frenzy is fueling the fire.

Oklahoma City is just a small city, no matter in terms of population, geography or economic status, it cannot be compared with Dallas. The league is doing this to attract more attention.

"Fuck, is it wrong for us to win?"

After Kalamanda concluded, she couldn't help gnashing her teeth and cursed.

The players didn't take it seriously at first, but when they saw the excited Kalamanda, they immediately felt that things were not that simple.

The goal of the commercial league is to maximize money. As a newcomer, the Thunder has a low exposure rate, which has attracted people's attention, but they only win the game. As for whether they can win the series, it depends on how the league arranges it.

After the players dispersed, Li Muhua held Kalamanda back.

"Rex, I don't understand, is the league manipulating the results of the game?"

"No, boy, it's not manipulation, but guidance, understand? The referee didn't make a penalty in the last game, but it doesn't mean that the next game won't, and the players must have been scolded by the media. Do you understand?"

Kalamanda explained.

Li Muhua has also encountered this kind of home whistle behavior. It seems that it is not a big deal. It is nothing more than a matter of how many whistles are played. It is just that any whistle in the playoffs will affect the result of the game and even the structure of the league.

Even the referee did not dare to be careless.

For the next two days, the Thunder temporarily rented a basketball training ground in a nearby high school to allow the players to conduct some simple training.

I don't know if it's the excitement brought about by winning. Everyone practiced very enthusiastically and didn't care about physical exertion at all.

Continuing muscle strength instead of resting immediately, each NBA team strictly controls the activities and rest time of players to ensure the best condition.

"LI, you don't have to fight anymore, just practice shooting!" Adams called Li Muhua aside and passed the ball to him alone for training.

Everyone else was running and jumping crazily, but he was so relaxed, a little out of place, Li Muhua felt something was wrong.

Due to poor physical strength!

"Don't think too much, you still have to organize the team's offense in the next game, but it may not be too easy!"

Seeing that Li Muhua was absent-minded, Adams immediately reminded him.

Li Muhua nodded, and suddenly felt that it was nothing. Originally, his physical fitness was not very good. If his muscles were too tense during training, it would be a bad thing.

The playoffs are a seven-game four-win system, which means that each game has to pay more to win the game.

"I hope the grandsons will be more gentle next time!"

The various bruises on Li Muhua's body haven't gone down yet, and he feels vaguely sore.
