The NBA begins with blowing up Wade

Chapter 110 110 Prevent Durant from being a softie!
"James, great job!"

"James, if you perform like this every game, we can easily blow up the opponent!"

On the evening of April 4th, Durant and Westbrook, who had just finished a thrilling battle, praised Harden for his explosive performance this night.

Harden looked at the 100-106 scoreboard with lingering fears.

Although he scored 23 points tonight, the team's win was also somewhat thrilling.

But now is not the time to think about it.

I saw Harden smiling, his beard shaking,

"Thank you for attracting the opponent's defense, otherwise I wouldn't have scored so many points.

Now, it's time to take on Staples Arena! "

Durant and Westbrook looked at each other and nodded fiercely!
Although the big score has now been tied 1-1 and there is no worst situation, they have lost their home court advantage after all.

To win this round of the series, going to the Staples Arena to win at least one game is what they must do now.

If the Clippers are allowed to win two more games in a row and tie the big score to 3:1, they will almost completely miss the Western Conference semifinals.

Therefore, the Staples Center must be won!
The Thunder team is full of fighting spirit, but the Clippers players on the other side are not as disappointed as expected.

"It's okay, it's good to be able to take away a victory at the Ford Center."

In the locker room of the visiting team, the veteran Baron Davis began to stand up to stabilize the morale of the army,
"Today we played tight most of the time and everyone played hard.

That's enough, believe me, as long as you return to Los Angeles, you only need to guard the home court, and the semifinals will not be a big problem. "

At this time, Arenas also stood up to speak.

"Mine tonight, that bearded man is outrageous, even if he makes a foul, he even makes a three-point foul. I will pay attention next time, and I will never let him play like this again."

After the review, Arenas spread his hands,

"However, I don't quite agree with Byron's saying, what does it mean that the semi-finals are not a big problem?
Our goal has to be the championship, okay? "

In the visiting team's locker room, those Clippers players who were a little frustrated at first quickly forgot about tonight's loss, and then laughed a little.

The semifinals are not a big problem, but the championship...

It is also a dream to fight with your life!
The two big mountains of the Spurs and the Lakers are pressing on top of their heads.

Guan Yu stood up and clapped his hands and said,
"Well, no matter what, let's leave the unpleasant memories in Oklahoma City.

After returning to Los Angeles, give them a good look! "

……

"Okay, I have something to do tonight, but I can come to the Staples Center to help you cheer if you need it."

On April 4, Guan Yu, who received a call from Scarlett Johansson during the training break, was inexplicably happy for a while.

In his mind, he and the "widow sister" are just a simple relationship between a man and a woman.

He never asked her everything.

She never asked him about his relationship.

"no need.

You go about your own business first. "

Guan Yu, who has a sense of propriety, refused.

Guan Yu has not dated those female stars recently because of his obsession with training, and because of this, he has lost a lot of scandals.

At the moment when the whole team is concentrating on preparing for the playoffs, Guan Yu does not want to give his teammates the feeling that he is not doing his best!
You know, in order to prepare for the playoffs, Guan Yu has already rejected invitations from many actresses...

"Well, well, if my business is over early I will still go to the scene."

"Okay, wait until you see me win the game."

……

That night, in the anticipation of the fans, the third game between the Thunder and the Clippers officially started!
The public opinion in the regular season, the big points battle, and the high star flavor of Los Angeles all made this game attract the attention of many film and television singers.

Although Scarlett Johansson, whom the fans were looking forward to very much, did not come, the presence of Beckham, Dubrev and other stars made the Staples Arena tonight still so star-studded.

After the game started, coach Brooks couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

Because what the hell the Clippers' start has blown up again!
Eric Gordon's three-pointer, Kaman's mid-range shot, Griffin's alley-oop dunk, and Baron Davis' alley-oop layup!
I was stunned to play a wave of 9 to 2 at the beginning!
This is thanks to Coach Brooks' experience in the previous two games, otherwise he would definitely want to throw the table!
What's going on? This is it?

It is customary to dig a hole at the beginning!

At the scene, the fans at the Staples Arena shouted excitedly.

Before the Clippers played away games in Oklahoma City, they could only watch the real-time broadcast on the big screen or TV.

Now, with the opportunity to cheer for the Clippers on the spot, they will naturally not let it go.

"Steady, keep this rhythm!"

On the sidelines, Coach De Nagro yelled to cheer on his players.

Although they are fierce at the beginning, they are always prone to power failure later on. Coach De Nagro can only remind them so much to help them.

As if Coach De Nagro's reminder had a miraculous effect, the Clippers directly beat the Thunder 27-12 in the first quarter!

Up to 15 points ahead!
The players on the Thunder team looked very ugly when they were off the court, especially Durant.

In the first quarter, under Guan Yu's strict defense, Durant scored 6 points.

But 6 of these 4 points were scored by free throws. His sports goals were only 5 of 1 shots!
Guan Yu was not too surprised by this result.

In the past two days, Guan Yu and the Clippers' assistant coach in charge of defense conducted a very in-depth study on how to limit Durant.

It is completely impossible to completely lock Durant.

But there is no way to limit him. For example, tonight, Guan Yu adopted a defensive method of limiting his inside offense after feeling that Durant's outside touch was average.

As a scorer, Guan Yu knows very well that the vast majority of shooters can often establish the touch of the day with the first few shots when shooting.

If it is opened at the beginning, it is likely to be out of control tonight, and if the state is not good at the beginning, then it is often difficult to find the rhythm of long-range shots in the next shots.

Considering the Clippers' poor inside defense, Guan Yu decided to bet on Durant's poor outside touch today. In the end, he really made the right bet!

Durant, in fact, doesn't like inside hand-to-hand combat in his original style of play, and likes to shoot.

In addition, Guan Yu's defensive strategy of taking an extra half step when defending alone seems to have hit Durant's fragile self-esteem, which caused him to take a lot of outside shots tonight. That's why Durant was so inefficient.

"Too soft, Durant is too soft, he's just a jerk.

No matter how many scoring titles he wins, it won't change the fact that he is a softie. "

When the first quarter was suspended, Barkley couldn't help complaining,

"Continuing to shoot if you can't shoot from the outside. This shot choice is really terrible."

Kenny Smith said noncommittally:

"Is he trying to help his teammates with his outside shooting?"

Barkley sneered,
"Ah!

He is soft!

He has height, speed, and confrontation, and he can go to the Clippers' penalty area to get whatever he wants!
I know a lot of fans will say he won the scoring title with his shooting, but man, this is the playoffs, and easy scoring often equals inefficiency. "

Speaking, Barkley also cited an example,

"People who want to contradict me think about Jordan, Kobe, James or Wade, these super scorers.

The offense of these guys is not to rely on hiding outside to score, but to attack more towards the bottom of the basket!

This can not only improve their offensive hit rate, but also have more opportunities to create offense. "

This time Kenny Smith did not refute, and even added,

"That's right.

Not to mention the other three, at least Kobe is also a super shooter, and his outside shooting ability is also very strong.

But in the playoffs or at critical moments, he never relies on three-pointers as his main offensive weapon.

He often chooses to go to the basket and score after a fierce physical confrontation with his opponent. This offensive method is more powerful. "

At this time Barkley glanced at the staff and said,

"Well, just now the staff reminded me that some fans retorted that not all three-point shooters are soft.

That's right, three-point shooters like Reggie (Miller) and Ray (Allen) are indeed not soft guys, but not just because they are tough.

They are completely different from Durant.

As a three-pointer, they often use the cover of their teammates to move around to find an open space, and then shoot.

And Durant, although he also has the ability to shoot three-pointers, he is not a special three-pointer, but a scorer!
The Thunder need to take the initiative to launch an offense and go one-on-one, not just scoring, let alone shooting three-pointers!

Think about it, how do you feel when your leading star dribbles continuously and finally chooses to step back for a three-pointer and still hit the iron?
Isn't this a soft egg? "

Kenny Smith opened his mouth, and finally he could only helplessly agree,
"That's right, such an offensive method really hurts morale.

And it doesn't have the aggressiveness of Jordan and Kobe, nor the efficiency of three-point shooters like Reggie and Ray. "

On the Thunder bench, Coach Brooks looked at his disciple who was exuding a chill, but he didn't say anything after all.

How can he not see the problems that Barkley and Kenny Smith can see?

but……

Even if he knew that Durant was competing with Guan Yu, what could he say?

You know, Durant is much more important in the eyes of the management than his head coach.

The only Westbrook who can persuade Durant not far from Coach Brooks...but he didn't find anything wrong.

Westbrook: Huh?5 for 1 outside?Isn't it normal?
Moreover, Westbrook, who did not perform very well in the last game, has been staring at his stats, and has no intention of caring about Durant.

"Gilbert, Harden will be handed over to you."

When the second quarter was about to start, Guan Yu reminded Arenas.

Tonight, he doesn't want to see Harden's big beard kill the Quartet and become the X factor again.

"Don't worry, I'll leave that bearded man to me, okay!"

Looking at the confident Arenas, Guan Yu couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

It's not that he refuses to believe that Arenas has the ability to handle Harden, but...

Arenas said the same thing in the last game, but Harden scored 23 points.

Guan Yu is already used to this guy's obsession with ghosts.

Shaking his head, after the reminder, Guan Yu quickly rested.

There was only so much he could do.

Then wait a minute, he will continue to fight Durant to death!
Tonight, in order to fight Durant on the defensive end, Guan Yu took the initiative to give up his role on the offensive end. Fortunately, his teammates did not let him down!
On the court, the confrontation between Arenas and Harden began again.

On the sidelines of the court, Guan Yu and Durant, who were trying to recover their strength, couldn't help turning their eyes to the court.

How well the rotation lineup plays can have a profound impact on their next game progress!
As a result, under the leadership of Arenas, the Clippers directly beat the Thunder with an 8-0 offensive spurt!
Durant, on the sidelines on the bench, was about to gnash his teeth.

2 minutes, 15 points become 23 points, how to top?
Coach Brooks quickly called a timeout.

Although he knew that Harden would be targeted after his explosion in the last game, he really didn't expect to be targeted so hard.

With Arenas on the outside to fight and defend against shots, and Jordan to fight in the penalty area, Harden is really restricted.

Guan Yu couldn't help but rejoice that this was Harden in his infancy, and it would not be easy to defend Harden like this in a few years.

"Haha, what did I say?

Against Harden?
OK!"

Guan Yu couldn't help giving a thumbs up to the guy who successfully suppressed Harden.

His performance just now really exploded!
Turning his gaze, Guan Yu saw Durant and Westbrook, who had been playing for a full quarter, began to exercise their muscles and bones, so he also handed the towels draped over their shoulders to the staff.

The short break is over, the big battle, continue!
"Give Durant to me, and the offense to you!"

Listening to Guan Yu's words, everyone in the Clippers team who was about to play laughed and said,
"Don't worry, sure!"

Back from the timeout, as if he had turned into a Grim Reaper, Durant took the scythe and held the ball directly across the half.

He really didn't hide his murderous aura overflowing at all.

Guan Yu pushed forward without fear.

Although Guan Yu's height and weight are different from Durant's, his body is very strong.

Maybe there is still a gap compared to the abnormality of James, but it is already safe to guard against Durant.

"boom--!"

After a sound of physical collision, the two suddenly separated.

Guan Yu adjusted Kadurant's breakthrough route in small steps, and at the same time continued to take half a step back!
He continued his previous strategy, focusing on Durant's breakthrough.

Watching Guan Yu's movements in front of him, Durant's eyes couldn't help turning red.

To be honest, as a super scorer, how could Durant fail to see that the Clippers are relatively empty inside at this time?
However, even if he was on the bar with Guan Yu, he just felt that he could solve the problem by scoring from the outside!
He is Kevin. The king of offense. Durant!
So, after Durant played with all his energy, he stepped back to the three-point line again and shot the basketball!
In front of the TV, Durant fans couldn't help but look forward to it!
This time, can Durant break the shackles and lead the Thunder to narrow the point difference?

"boom--!"

Unfortunately, the basket at the Staples Center once again chose to refuse.

At the same time, Barkley's complaints sounded.

"Well, let me just say, he's a softie."
