No one thought that the Thunder and the Grizzlies would play for such a long time, and even through the tie-break for the final victory and defeat, so these two groups are also considered to be another set of rivalry in the West, even though they are in This year has not met in the playoffs before, but now the two teams no matter who loses or wins, meeting again next year is bound to be full of gimmicks!

Of course these two teams have enough gimmicks!

At least it looks like this now!

Take the Grizzlies for example. In the 2011 playoffs, they eliminated the Spurs 4-0 for the first time under the circumstance that everyone was not optimistic. Black eight"!

This battle can be regarded as one of the few or even the only stains in **Vicci’s career. It’s just a pity that this team didn’t run farther in the end, and the fans didn’t get enough of him. But now it’s different. The Grizzlies continued to maintain a strong momentum this year, and eventually entered the Western Conference Finals, breaking the embarrassing record of never entering the Western Conference Finals in team history, and making them the most talked about now. It can be said that although this year's Grizzlies are not enough to become a popular team next year, after all, their style of play is indeed not ornamental, but it will definitely become the object of many teams' worry!

As for the Thunder, not to mention, in last year’s playoffs, they first qualified in the first round of the series, and then broke through the semifinals, and finally moved to Oklahoma for the first time in the team. For the first time since Massachusetts, it has entered the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder team can be said to have made many people see what it means to be a youth storm!

More importantly, these two teams are teams in small cities, but through their own completely different methods, they have made their teams stand on the top of the West and become the focus of basketball fans all over the world. It is certain. One thing is that the reconstruction process of these two teams will inevitably be studied by other small city teams as standard cases!

However, this is for other teams, and for these two teams, it has come to the seventh game. The only suspense left between them is who among them can have the last laugh. Lead the team to complete a breakthrough in team history and complete the achievement of reaching the finals for the first time!

...

"I don't know why this happened, but one thing that must be said is that we wasted too many opportunities. For this reason, we need to play the last game. However, no matter what, since the result This is already the case, so for me, the thing that can be done is to win this must-win game, because we have no retreat!"

Kevin Durant accepted the pre-match interview. Facing the microphones in the hands of the media and reporters, he did not have any psychological burden due to the key moments of the last game’s mistakes. He still has a strong influence on this game. Self-confidence!

This is the ability of superstars, no matter how bad their previous performance, they will not be brought into the next game.

"We will win the final victory, because the way we have been walking up to now is to work hard for the team's victory. We don't need to have any doubts about ourselves because of our defeat in the last two games. Having the ability to continue to win is very important, so you know what I mean!"

"My performance in the previous two games was terrible. To be honest, it was really terrible, but this is something that has passed. My self-blame will not save the team. All we have to do is to look forward. Because we still have an important game to play, before I win this game, all I have to do is to stay focused!"

Not only Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Westbrook have all expressed their determination in the face of the media. They are very confident in the victory tonight!

However, now more fans outside are supporting the Grizzlies. espn has conducted voting statistics, but the results show that the support rate of the entire Grizzlies is 58%, while the Thunder team only has 42%!

The Grizzlies used their tenacity to win support and trust for themselves!

Of course, this is also for a reason. It is not easy for the Grizzlies in this year's playoffs to counterattack this step. At least they can get to this step. It is much more difficult than the Thunder. After all, this season, the Thunder ranks first in the West. , And the Grizzlies lost, only at the end of the regular season to lock the seventh spot in the playoffs.

In the three matches this season, the Thunder won all three games, occupying an absolute advantage. If you count the two preseason matches, the Grizzlies have lost five consecutive games to their opponents this season.

Whether it is the record or the record of the two teams against each other, the Thunder dominates, but with this advantage, the Grizzlies abruptly equalized the big score to a 3 to 3 tie. Hard work and sweat are really enough to make people admire. This is why there are so many people supporting the Grizzlies to win. There is no way, this kind of guy who was not seen before the playoffs has entered. In the final finals, how classic such a counter-attack myth is!

Again, all Americans have a hero complex, and they look forward to seeing the warrior who crawls out of adversity!

And now, the Grizzlies are carrying on such a story!

"The Thunder’s most powerful weapon is Kevin Durant. This season, Durant averaged 35.8 minutes per game, scoring 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 5 assists, shooting 50.5% from the field and three-pointers. The ball hit rate is as high as 38.7%. It is worth mentioning that in this year's regular season, Durant scored 20+ points in 64 consecutive games, surpassing Kobe, and becoming the 69 consecutive games following Michael Jordan in the 1990-91 season. The highest record after scoring 20+."

"Durant's stability is terrifying. At the same time, Westbrook also played the best season of his career so far. This season, Westbrook averaged 34.4 minutes per game, scoring 23.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.4. This season, Westbrook scored 18 triple-doubles. He also tied the record of Magic Johnson’s 18 triple-doubles in a single season. What’s more worth mentioning is that in the previous game against the Lakers, Wei Shao It took only half time to win a triple-double."

"There is also James Harden. The detailed data is no longer an example, but he just won his best sixth man trophy not long ago. The three Thunder players on this team are really scary, at least in the future. It’s theirs, even though they still have it!"

Before the start of the seventh game, the tnt team made a final analysis and summary of the two teams. They first analyzed the Thunder team. When analyzing this team, the most important thing to say is naturally the Thunder three minors. They All the advantages of the Thunder!

"However, one thing I have to say is that although they have three minors, the Thunder’s third minors are still a bit of a misnomer in the last two games. The other two guys except Kevin Durant have been in endless struggle. In the game, Westbrook got into foul trouble in the fifth game, which made them miss the most likely chance to take away the victory. When it came to Memphis, Westbrook still couldn’t feel it on the offensive end, which made this There is a big problem with the team’s number one position. James Harden will not talk about it for the time being. Let’s talk about some problems other than the Thunder’s third minor. Yes, the Thunder team loses because they have a lot of other places. The problem, such as the rotation lineup, in these two games, the Thunder can only score 34.9 points per game off the bench. If this ranking is among the regular season teams, it can only be ranked 16th in the league and 10th in the league. Sixth place is basically the worst ranking among the teams that have entered the playoffs. The score of their bench is really unsatisfactory. This is not the Thunder team in the regular season. In the regular season. , The Thunder’s score is ranked fourth in the league, even higher than the San Antonio Spurs!

At the same time, the Thunder's substitutes are averaging 34.4 points per game. If this data is placed in the regular season, it will also rank 16th in the league!

Of course, the weakness of the Thunder's bench is a problem they exposed in the regular season. Their ranking in the regular season is not high. They can only be ranked 9th in the league. This ranking is considered the ranking of the league's first-tier teams. But it is definitely not top-notch!

However, they can choose to let Durant or Wei Shao lead the second team, but this makes them have another problem. They are easy to be reversed in the last quarter. This is the problem that the Thunder have been experiencing in the last two playoffs. Up.

Although they have three Thunder players and their offense is instinct, in the last two games against the Grizzlies, they both took the lead and entered the fourth quarter and were reversed!

In the regular season, they led into the fourth quarter, but the number of reversals in the end was also ranked among the top five industries in the league. Because everyone knows, especially in the playoffs, when the game enters a critical moment, everyone knows that the Thunder will hand the ball to Durant or Westbrook. In this case, the opponent will definitely give priority to it. If you are alone, maybe no one in the league can stop the Thunder's two juniors, but when double-teaming and assisting defenses increase, the Thunder's mistakes begin to increase. As everyone knows, Grizzlies coach Hollins is a coach who is very good at using zone defense. "

"And that's why this team lost two games in a row and was forced to draw 3 to 3!"

"Now let's talk about James Harden, the third grader who just won the Best Sixth Man Award. The biggest problem lies with him because of his performance in the playoffs, especially in the West. The performance in the finals is really bad! If you really want to use the expression of the playoffs to select the sixth man of the team, then he will definitely not be selected. He needs to play a better performance to prove his performance, and He deserves to be called the best sixth man! This is very crucial!"

"This is also the key to the Thunder if they want to win this game!"

"In addition, there is another thing worth noting that the last time the Grizzlies played against the Thunder, that is, after the first two days of the game, everyone on the entire Thunder team should pay attention to a problem, that is, the Grizzlies are already completely A different Grizzlies, their vitality and completely inspired, and more importantly, they are full of fighting spirit, so everyone on the Thunder team should cheer up, they should know that they are not standing in front of them. Ordinary teams, they are one of the two teams that entered the Western Conference Finals this year. They are opponents of the same level as them. Since they are opponents of statistical change, you must be careful!"

"For the Grizzlies, if you want to win today's game, you must do a few very important things!"

"First of all, they must realize that the Thunder are a young team, so their team is very following the trend, playing fast-paced advancement, using Kevin Durant and Westbrook as the engine to advance. Look at them. The number of shots taken by the entire team can be seen. They averaged about 70 shots per game in the season. In March, they averaged more than 80 shots per game in a single month. The average shots dropped to 77.1, but the number of shots like this is already very high, and the main thing the Grizzlies must do is not to let them bring the rhythm!"

"In fact, the Grizzlies’ rhythm is mainly slow. Just look at their pre-season games! In the final stage of the regular season~lightnovelpub.net~ they won the Rockets and Mavericks. , Jazz and other key games, locked the playoffs at the last minute. The Grizzlies recorded 7 wins and 3 losses in the last 10 games of the regular season."

"So what the Grizzlies have to do is to control the tempo of the game at their slow pace, and let the inside Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol gradually destroy the opponent's inside. These two guys have this ability. , So the Grizzlies must control their rhythm if they want to win, so that the Thunder can’t get up to speed. Just like the first two games, this is why the Grizzlies can have the last laugh!"

"Of course, the Grizzlies should also pay attention to their third quarter game time. The Thunder are accustomed to crashing in the last quarter, and their Grizzlies are prone to misfire in the third quarter. During the regular season this season, the Grizzlies were in the third quarter. With a score of 24.1 points in a single quarter, he ranked third in the league. They won’t play in the second half. This seems to have become a major spell for them. Although the Grizzlies won in the first two games, they The Thunder always overtakes the score at the end of the third quarter. It can also be seen from this that this team really does not play in the third quarter!"

"In fact, it can also be said that the final outcome of this game will be whether the Grizzlies can better finish the third quarter, or whether the Thunder can maintain their advantage before the fourth quarter. In short, the victory or defeat. It's very likely that you won't be able to split until the second half!"
