Chapter 93 Too Easy ([-])

The long-awaited Spurs Thunder battle on May 5 is finally about to begin!

Although the fans of the two teams have spat at each other and the players of the two teams have spat at each other these days, before the game, the two sides actually played with each other!
Presti said in an interview: "You all know that I have worked for the Spurs. In fact, I first chose to work for the Spurs because, in my heart, Coach Popovich is one of the best coaches in the entire NBA history. I will definitely learn what I want there, and Duncan is the best power forward in the NBA in my heart!"

And Popovich said in an interview: "Thunder's players are too good, there are no weaknesses in each position, but the Thunder's substitutes are worse than some teams' starters, plus Press is such an excellent coach. This series will be a tough battle."

In the locker room, Presti said: "Our tactics are very simple. Westbrook uses your breakthrough ability to tear the Spurs' defense! If there is no double-team after reaching the penalty area, attack the basket directly! If there is a double-team, it depends on the time.
Ibaka and Jordan, you are the key to this series!Protect the frame for me, the restricted area is your chassis, anyone who dares to make mistakes in our restricted area, give me a hot pot set meal for them!
There is also the most important issue of rebounds. Every time you protect the next rebound, we may lose two or even three points. Every time you grab an offensive rebound, we may gain two or even three points.
Mbah a Moute, you defend the opposite arrow, Parker or Ginobili, stick to it tightly,

It's OK for Durant to use your offensive talent to score. They will create a 1v1 opportunity for you, seize it!As for the replacement..."

Speaking of this, Presti smiled, and said: "I think even if we are X**D, their rotation lineup can't beat us."

"Haha" The team members who were listening to Presti's tactics seriously laughed unconsciously when they heard the last sentence. Yes, they can't win as a starter, and they can't win as a substitute. What can they win?

Presti looked at his watch, stood up, and said, "Come on, let's give the Spurs a vacation with no 'what ifs'."
"Aw! Aw!" The players responded excitedly.

Presti led the players through the player tunnel to the stadium, and the noisy stadium became even more manic!The Thunder fans all gave a standing ovation to welcome the heroes of their city. The Thunder has brought them too many surprises. Which team can enter the playoffs in just two seasons and even reach the semifinals. Besides, Oklahoma is still a small city that cannot be smaller. They are proud of owning the Thunder!
Listening to the increasingly manic stadium and the non-stop "OKC!"

After the warm-up before the game, the players from both sides walked to the middle circle, and the semi-finals of the 2009-2010 NBA playoffs officially started!
Spurs starters: Manu Ginobili, George Hill, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan, McDyess

Thunder starters: Westbrook, Mbah a Moute, Durant, Ibaka, Jordan Jr.
The jump ball begins!
Jordan jumped high and put the ball in Durant's hands. The first attack belonged to the Thunder!
Durant handed the ball to Westbrook, and Westbrook advanced with the ball!

At the top of the arc, George Hill defends Westbrook!

Before the game, Presti said to Westbrook alone, it’s OK if you let me attack the positional battle, the opponent can’t keep up with your No. 1 position,

Hill facing Westbrook didn't hesitate, and directly accelerated his attack!
Easy walk over Hill to restricted area!
Duncan helps defend!

Ibaka on the right!Pass inside!

Take the ball and hit the dunk with one arm! 2:0
Ginobili took the ball and accelerated to the frontcourt. Mbah a Moute led the defense and followed Ginobili!

Ginobili turned his head suddenly, Mbah a Moute thought he was going to pass the ball, subconsciously threw his right hand over,
Ginobili seized this opportunity and broke through!

Facing Jordan under the basket, go to the right for a layup!
The head coach can say that the basket is our chassis, and Ibaka helps defend from the right and jumps up!
Reward you hot pot!

Crack, the ball was shot out of bounds!
Spurs frontcourt ball!
"Crack! Crack!" Presti couldn't help standing up and applauding. Ibaka assisted in the defense, and the frame protection is indeed the top in the league. It's amazing.

The ball was served to Duncan, and it was time to hit it one by one.
Ibaka stands up to Duncan!Duncan was impressed...,
In fact, Duncan's state in the playoffs of the 2010 season was really problematic. It was difficult to beat Frye, but he rose again in the next few seasons, which surprised many people. He deserves to be the top PF in NBA history.

Immediately distributed the ball out!

Snapped!A mistake, Mbah a Moute steals!
Mbah a Moute, who took the ball, dribbled it to the frontcourt, to the basket, and dunked easily!

Here, Ginobili once again relied on experience to get past Mbah a Moute, but the basket is full of people, mid-range!

Finally got in!

Here Durant took the ball to face Jefferson, shaking it in disguise continuously, and made a dry pull!
Go in!

Beep, Spurs timeout!

This matchup advantage is too obvious!

At this time, the commentator couldn't help but said: "It's difficult for the Spurs. With Duncan's current state, it is difficult to compete with Ibaka and Jordan's inside combination. The most important thing is that the Thunder's Westbrook is more impactful than Ginobili, and the inside is more destructive. The Spurs can only win this series by breaking out outside or Duncan becoming the peak Duncan."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Ibaka and Jordan, who were ridiculed back then, to become the most intimidating combination inside the league in just two years. Presti is really incredible." Another commentator nodded in agreement.

The game continued, and many neutral fans in front of the TV felt that the Spurs would improve after the timeout, but the result was still the same!
Westbrook hit the Spurs' weak defense over and over again, and they couldn't defend without help!
Helping to defend, the ball is passed to the outside space, which is even more deadly!

As for the Spurs, Ginobili has Mbah a Moute, who is leading the defense all over the game. The key is to shrink the line of defense as soon as they break through the Thunder!
Just let you cast outside!
But the Spurs just dare not enter from the outside!
Presti watched the Spurs' outside shots again and again, and couldn't help laughing. Let's see the Spurs' outside shots.

Hill was 5 for 0, Manu was 9 for 2, and Jefferson didn't shoot at all!What a miserable word,
When the substitute came up, the Spurs were defeated directly!

Curry and Harden's three-pointers almost killed the Spurs, and Gibson faced the Spurs' substitute inside inside, and he was like calling the wind and rain!
There was no spark hitting the earth as imagined, the game can be said to have produced no waves, and the Spurs did not even show signs of a comeback in even a few rounds.

In this way, the Thunder defeated the Spurs 111:95 without bloodshed and won the first victory in the semifinals!
