Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 97

The huge difference of 20 points was smoothed out, which was a huge blow to the opponent's mentality. At the same time, for the players of the team, the morale boost was immeasurable. Everyone became extremely excited. The game progressed to the first Everyone is still full of energy in the fourth quarter.

This kind of powerful encouragement makes the Kings more and more courageous. Every successful offense and defense will make the Kings players on the bench wave their towels and shout excitedly. In the first game, the Clippers did not have the determination to fight to the death, and soon showed a trend of defeat. In the end, the Kings won the Clippers at the Staples Center in one go, achieving a super reversal.

Omi Casspi was the main contributor to this reversal, but all the teammates of the Kings played their roles in it. Seven players of the Kings scored in double figures in the whole game. In the later stage of the reversal, everyone contributed With his own strength, this game also let everyone see the resilience of the Kings!
The time in Los Angeles was undoubtedly a joy for the Kings. They defeated two Los Angeles teams in a row, experienced a super comeback, and ushered in a wave of six consecutive victories!

Next, the team will go to Oklahoma City for the last game of the three-way game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Homer Thunder.

Last season, the Thunder entered the playoffs with the fourth-ranked record in the Western Conference. Although they lost to the Dallas Mavericks who won the championship in the end, this trip to the playoffs is enough to prove Now that the Thunder are strong, their super personal potential is gradually realizing their performance on the field.

The head of the team, Kevin Durant, had an MVP-level performance last season. He ranked fifth in the MVP selection for two consecutive scoring titles last season. Now that he is under 24 years old, he is definitely the league's best Top superstars.

The second head of the team, Russell Westbrook, was successfully selected to the All-Star and the second team of the best team last season. In the third season of his career, he began to move towards a superstar. An invincible reliance.

James Harden, who entered the NBA in the same year as Tyreke, has experienced two seasons of training. Although he only started 09 games in the two seasons, his talent visible to the naked eye has been known to the world. He has all the potential to become a comprehensive super scorer. This season, he will get more opportunities in the youth team of the Thunder, and he will surely grow into a top star in the future.

Serge, Ibaka is not as dazzling as Durant and the others. Last season was his second season in the league. In an average of 27 minutes per game, he averaged 2.41 blocks per game. An important force in the interior, he can already be regarded as a top interior defender at a young age.

The four young stars with both strength and potential have grown steadily year by year. The Thunder team, which has entered the Western Conference finals last season, has only one goal this season, which is to win the championship!
Before the game against the Kings, the Thunder had played 7 games, and their record of 5 wins and 2 losses can also show their strength. At present, apart from the undefeated Sacramento Kings, the Thunder has the best record in the West. Team.

But looking at this league, the top two Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat in the East are both 6 wins and 1 loss. Now only the Kings are still unbeaten in the entire league. Facing the mighty Thunder, the Kings are not afraid.

The game between the two teams started at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Jimmy Butler returned to the starting lineup after sitting on the bench in the last game. Although he didn't have anything special in all aspects, he was active in defense The attributes make it difficult for coach Westphal to give up.In the first 7 games of his rookie season, Jimmy got a chance to play in every game and won the starting position 3 times at the same time. In comparison, such opportunities are already considered sufficient.

After a wave of 6 consecutive victories, the main starting lineup of the Kings is basically determined. Tyreke, Jimmy Butler, Caron Butler, West, Cousins, if you want to attack and have offense, you must defend and defend , There are star cornerstones, and there are veterans in the lineup. Although it can't be said to be a first-class team, no matter who they meet, they dare to break their wrists!At the same time, with the growth of Tyreke and other young people, everyone believes that this Kings team will reach even higher heights!
Not surprisingly, the Thunder started with Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, and Kendrick Perkins. .

The backcourt configuration of the two teams is very similar, both are a young star point guard with full scoring ability and an outside defender, but Sefolosha has more stable three-pointers than Jimmy.Compared with the strength of the third position, the MVP-level Durant is naturally the Caron Butler in the later stage of his career. In terms of strength, it still greatly exceeds the defensive insider pair of Ibaka and Perkins.

With the league's top superstar like Durant and a super sixth man like James Harden on the bench, the Thunder's book strength is still stable over the Kings.

However, the game is not guaranteed to be won by anyone with strong book strength. With the lingering prestige of 6 consecutive victories, the Kings entered the state early at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Cousins, who was sent off in the last game, took the lead in attacking.With the resentment of the last game, facing the tank-type center Perkins, Cousins ​​used his soft touch to create kills in the middle and long distances. Perkins is big enough and has a good defensive attitude, but his mobility is really poor , It is too difficult to defend Cousins ​​​​with long-range offensive capabilities alone.At the same time, once his inside partner Ibaka comes up to help defend and give West any gap, he will use his signature mid-range to slander the Thunder!

At the same time, Durant, the top scorer of the Thunder, also encountered targeted defensive treatment from the Kings. Jimmy and Caron, the two Butlers of the Kings took turns marking Durant.Today's Caron Butler is no longer the All-Star he used to be due to age and injuries. What he has is a stable shot and a tough defense. On the offensive end, he only needs to be a spot-up shooter. It is enough to hand over the explosives to cause damage to Tyreke, and he puts more energy on the defensive end.And Jimmy Butler can start only because he can do one thing well, defense!Defense!Still defend!
The two Butlers consume Durant in turn. No matter how strong Durant's personal ability is, he will eventually feel the pressure.
