Chapter 82 The Expected Cold
After Curry reached the top of the arc with the ball, Jordan immediately stepped forward to cover, bypassed the screen, and shot!

Bang Dang, hit the iron!
Camby scored the rebound and scored Miller.
After Miller slowly moved to the top of the arc, Westbrook came over and
Miller is still transported to the flank, continue to play back!
Still moving, but at a much slower speed. After reaching a familiar position, he turned around suddenly and shot!
Iron!

The defense is effective. Although Miller can push Westbrook, it is a bit difficult, and he has no rhythm when shooting!
The rebound was grabbed by Jordan, and the opportunity to counterattack came!
Jordan passes the ball to the activated Curry!

Curry just moved!Grabbed by Fernandez,
Tactical foul, preventing the Thunder from playing a fast break,
Westbrook served to Curry in the frontcourt, and Curry called Durant to pick and roll after holding the ball, and Durant stepped forward!
Curry uses Durant to cover!Go inside, and Durant immediately moved to the top of the arc!
Instead of going with Curry, Fernandez came over to double-team Durant! !
Curry was emptied like this!
Seeing this, Presti stood up, a chance to regain his touch!

Voted!

However, it hit the back edge of the basket,
"Hey!" Press couldn't hold back and clapped his hands fiercely. Curry's condition today is very bad, very abnormal, and he doesn't feel any touch. Logically speaking, he should be replaced at this time, but Presti won't do that.

Once he does that, he will definitely have a feeling of distrust of him in his heart, and it will also make him doubt himself, lose confidence, and may even affect his future achievements. Therefore, even if he loses today, he will not win Curry.

Camby protected the rebound and gave it to Miller. Miller advanced with the ball,
At the top of the arc this time it was called a screen, and after passing the screen and entering the penalty area, the base gave Camby a pass!

Camby catches the ball, takes a dribble, and makes a dunk!

Bang!The ball hit the basket, Ibaka fouled, and Camby made two free throws!

Camby goes to the free throw line as the Blazers replace Fernandez and Aldridge for Bayless and Jrue Howard
Seeing this, Presti took Ibaka and Curry and replaced them with Gibson and Harden.

The first quarter is coming to an end
Camby made two free throws and Harden advanced with the ball.

Facing Miller, Jordan stepped forward to cover, and with the help of Jordan's cover, he walked to the left, and Jordan went down!

Ground pass!

the ball is gone...

Miller looked at the right time and slapped it out again. Miller sprinted to grab the ball!

And Zhu Howard, who just played, just followed,

Go to the hoop and throw the ball up!Zhu Howard jumped high and smashed the ball in!

"Too lost, too lost today." Presti shook his head. He thought that he would be lost, but what he didn't expect was that he would be lost to this extent.

Harden held the ball to the top of the arc, and Westbrook reached out for the ball. After the ball reached Westbrook, Bayless, who had just played in front of him, made a tough breakthrough!

Get over it!

The Trail Blazers penalty area began to shrink, Westbrook rushed to the basket, facing Camby and Zhu Howard, who was double-teaming, no longer forced it, but gave the ball to Gibson who had just been emptied!
Gibson takes the ball and makes a mid-range shot!

If you still don't win, you can cast yourself!

After taking the first offensive rebound of the field, it was transferred to Durant on the right side in a wide range. After Durant got the ball, he directly pulled it out!

Finally hit!

Presti sighed: "It's better for Durant to be more stable, maybe this time we should play more with the cooperation of Westbrook and Durant"

The Thunder players also realized that in their own team, Durant's touch still exists, so in the next offense, they gave Durant singles consecutively!Westbrook continued to use his breakthrough ability to tear the defense and change the Blazers' defense.

After the Blazers played Aldridge, there was no defensive restraint on the inside, so that Gibson could help defend those who broke through with the ball at any time, making the Blazers' temporary offense no longer smooth.

As a result, the situation was temporarily stabilized, and the score did not reach double digits until the opening 3 minutes of the second quarter. Now the score is 25:33.
The Blazers replaced Ade again, and Presti took Ibaka up.

As soon as Adelaide came on the court, the Blazers' offense immediately came to life again, and the low-post offense was simply unsolvable!
The Thunder's offense is still supported by Durant's singles, but Durant's shortcomings have also been exposed, such as lack of physical strength.

At the end of the second quarter, the Blazers led the Thunder 47:35.

In the locker room, the atmosphere was dull. Everyone knew what the problem was. The outside line felt bad, which caused the opponent's defense to tighten. Even Westbrook, who had the sharpest breakthrough, couldn't get in, so he could only shoot mid-range shots.

Presti also knew that they should not be too strict with them this time. After all, it was the first time to participate in the playoffs. Presti did not blame them. He changed his strategy and resolutely double-teamed Adelaide on the defensive end!Was cast to death by other players.

On the offensive end, Curry continued to shoot, while Westbrook wirelessly burst into the inside to cause damage, and gave it his all.

The second half of the game begins!
The Thunder fans did not leave the field because the players did not perform well, but continued to shout "OKC" to support the Thunder!
Curry gave the ball to Westbrook, Westbrook came to organize, Curry ran without the ball,

But the embarrassing thing is that because Curry scored 11 for 0 in this game, the defenders didn't mean to chase him with all their strength, and ran out of the open space easily!

Westbrook passed the ball and Curry made an open shot!
Still iron! ! ! ! ! ! !
"Luck is no longer here." Presti said silently. There is no way that no matter how accurate you are, there will always be a day when you feel bad, so bad that you can't make a shot. The basket just doesn't like your shots.

After the Blazers Aldridge got the ball, Jordan went to double-team, and Aldridge passed the ball to Camby who missed it, and Camby dunked easily!
At this time, Presti really wanted to go on stage and yell at them. During the intermission, he said that he could short Miller, Bayless, and even Batum.

But don't let Camby short, because Camby will definitely dunk the ball when he catches the ball inside.
Presti called a timeout. He decided not to get used to them anymore. He was afraid of losing confidence. If he couldn't bear it, he would still be a superstar. He didn't want this home game. He had to let them watch on the bench and reflect on it.

The players were replaced by Livingston, Matthews, Gibson, Mbah a Moute, Collison.

Presti sat on the bench and said coldly: "Look at how they defend,"

Although the players were ashamed, they still listened to Presti's words and watched the game seriously. Although the lineup that went up was lacking in offensive capabilities, they defended very seriously. The defensive situation just now did not appear, so the score was not opened until the end of the game!

In the end, the Thunder lost 92:107 at home to the Trail Blazers. The fans left the stadium one after another with disappointment, while the reporters frantically poured in. Presti did not refuse the interview, but accepted all the interviews uncharacteristically.
