Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 155

In fact, all of this is just an illusion. Sitting there with a relaxed expression on his face, Chen Dazhuang was in a panic in his heart. If he loses this game, he will go to the Thunder's home game next time. Nima's hard to beat.

At that time, the Thunder with a match point in their hands will have no pressure at all.

There is no way, worrying is useless. To be honest, even if you put your worry on your face now, it will not work.

However, the Timberwolves still gave Da Zhuang enough surprises in this game.

The Thunder's offense is more carried out by Westbrook and Durant, and the Timberwolves' Oden, who is in the same grade as Durant, is not to be outdone. Let alone Ibaka is not on the court, even if he is on the court Can't stop Oden, who is an inside monster.

But the outside line is much weaker. Bennett has no way to defend against Durant, and he can't open up the offense. Middleton's game is considered normal, and the touch on the outside line is also good. very good.

In the last 8 seconds of the game, when the Timberwolves had the last chance to attack, it was the combination of Oden and Middleton that dragged the game into overtime.

At that time, the Timberwolves trailed the Thunder by three points 103 to 106.

In the last four seconds, Middleton's three-pointer hit the frame, but Oden got the offensive rebound, and then passed it to Middleton on the outside again. Without any time to consider, facing Westbrook and Durant, Middleton caught and shot, and finally when the basketball fell into the basket accurately.

The entire target center was boiling.

A life-saving three-pointer made the score between the two sides 106 to 106. Under the guidance of the DJ, tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans stood up and shouted Middleton's name in unison, as did Chen Dazhuang and Kelly in the stands. Very excited.

It can be said that this three-pointer made the Timberwolves' momentum soar.

But in overtime, the Timberwolves still failed to stop the Thunder's offensive.

At the beginning of overtime, the Timberwolves were defeated by the Thunder in a 7-0 spurt, and in the end they could only accept the defeat helplessly.

But even if they lose this game, the Timberwolves can be described as a glorious defeat.

117 to 122. Finally, after an overtime, the Timberwolves lost the Tianwangshan battle by 5 points. The balance of victory in this series also began to tilt towards the Thunder.

At the press conference after the game, Thunder coach Scott also expressed a very relaxed mood.

When facing a reporter's question about whether the Thunder has the confidence to win when they return to the Thunder's home court in the next game, Scott also showed strong self-confidence in his answer.

"It was a tough game to win. We actually had a lot of opportunities to beat our opponents easily, but it is a pity that our players failed to seize such opportunities in the game, which made the game so difficult. As for In the next game, I know that the opponent will definitely go all out to win the game, but I believe in my players, this time they will definitely not be like this game again, I believe they will be at our home court To end this series, of course our goal is not just to get to the next round."

If Scott's answer is still polite, then there is no politeness in the words of Durant who followed Scott to the scene.

"I don't think this is a problem at all. We are actually ready to prepare for the next opponent, and the current situation is very favorable to us. We will not waste such a good opportunity."

Indeed, as Durant said, the current playoff situation is indeed very favorable to them, and the Eastern Conference also ended their fifth game.

After the Heat returned to their home court, they narrowly beat the Nets 96 to 94, thus sending the Nets out of the playoffs with a big score of 4 to 1, and took the lead in getting tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Pacers are a little bit worse. The Pacers who returned to the home court lost to the Wizards by a score of 79 to 102, which also gave the Wizards the hope of advancing. 3 to 2.

In another matchup in the West, the Spurs played against the Clippers. What was unexpected was that the Spurs lost in this Tianwangshan battle. At the Spurs’ home court, the Clippers defeated the Spurs 110-103, which was also the first to win the match point. .

In this way, the next game back to the Clippers' home court will also be a life-and-death battle for the Spurs. The favorable situation Durant said is that the Thunder has a great advantage in the regular season against the Clippers this season. of.

On the contrary, playing against the Spurs is something they don't want to see.

"Do they really think they've won?" Da Zhuang said to Smith, shaking the newspaper in his hand the next day after the game against the Thunder.

"But to be honest, are you sure about tomorrow's game? It's not easy to play. The opponents are superior to us in terms of strength and morale. Besides, it's their home court. I guess they will treat you in a special way when you go there tomorrow. treatment."

"It doesn't matter, isn't this kind of scene rare this season?" Da Zhuang shrugged his shoulders and said.

"That's right, you have offended a lot of people this season, and it seems that you have higher demands on yourself now." Augmon interjected.

"What do you mean?"

"You used to offend the players or the head coach, or at most the general manager of the team. Now, it's better to go directly to the president of the league. Chen, have you thought about how the next one will target you?"

Fuck you, that's what you said.

"Don't worry, after this incident, things like last time will not happen again. Of course, we will not take care of them from now on. This is for sure. In addition, it is probably normal to have some small movements behind the scenes. "

Hearing Chen Dazhuang's understatement, several other people also shook their heads. In their eyes, you are already uncomfortable with these things, but in Dazhuang's case, they don't care at all.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow's game?" Smith asked.

"Outside, we must play to our advantage. Whether we succeed or fail depends on whether we can play outside." Chen Dazhuang said firmly.

System, Nima, you have to show some face this time, high and low give the labor and capital some power to come out, otherwise if you lose in the away game, you will lose face. While saying this, Da Zhuang was also praying in his heart.

However, the advantage of this game is that Yi Jianlian can play the game. Because he was worried about the healing of the wound, Yi Jianlian did not play in the three games he lost, so whether it is Taylor Zeller or Sims on the outside line Unable to give enough offensive pressure to the Thunder.
