? Because there is no news flowing out, the outside world does not know the specific reason for the internal contradictions of the Thunder.
But looking at San Shao's side by side at this moment, it shows that the internal contradictions have been resolved!
When Popovich saw this, although there was no change in his expression, he knew in his heart that this game would not be as easy as the first two.
The opening ceremony on the scene was so powerful that when the Thunder debuted, it felt like the ceiling of the entire Pisacek Energy Arena would be overturned.
It really feels like returning to the NCAA.
Brooks did not make adjustments in the starting lineup, and the Thunder are still the regular lineup.
The game started quickly, and Durant ran without a ball and scored a goal.
His performance is very different from playing, it seems that his mentality has been adjusted.
"This is Kevin Durant!"
Fans shouted from the sidelines.
The Spurs attacked the frontcourt. Tang Tian was not defended by Durant, but by Sefolosha.
After 0 to 2, the Thunder finally opened up.
Green ran without the ball, but the effect was not as good as Tang Tian, and he did not dare to run without Tang Tian's physical strength slot.
Seeing the Spurs' offense return without success, Parker broke through to the basket and scored 2 points.
Tang Tian hurled Durant's attention into everyone's attention, but the Spurs' most stable is "GDP".
The Thunder changed, and they can deal with it.
The organization of Westbrook's frontcourt, Durant had no chance to be followed by Tang Tian, he did not force him, but fell into position to pull space.
Westbrook broke into the basket and caused Diaw's hitter.
Two rounds of choice, Durant is really back, even because there is no need to defend Tang Tian, he is the superstar with ease.
The first quarter hit more than 9 minutes and the score on the field was 21 draws.
The two sides played equally.
Both teams have been replaced.
The Thunder were led by Harden, along with Fisher, Day Quinn Cook, Collison and Ibaka.
The Spurs are led by Ginobili, Mills, Leonard, Diaw and Split.
Ginobili's layup was directly covered by Ibaka and the ball went to Harden.
Harden directly accelerated the defensive counterattack.
He hadn't gained weight at this time, and he was really a bit fast. He rushed to the frontcourt and hit the ball directly against Mills.
Cheers broke out at the scene.
Harden's performance in the first two games was average. Brooks not only did not control his playing time, but let him lead the team alone to connect.
He's really a bit super-level this time.
The serpentine breakthrough in Ginobili's frontcourt is still in color.
Looking back, Harden broke through and attracted the doubles to divide the ball to Fisher.
Fisher's three-pointer was also scored.
Harden appeared as an X factor when the main lineups of the two sides were inseparable.
The two teams did not advance consecutively, and Ginobili's backcourt three-pointer missed.
For the Thunder's final offense in this quarter, Harden singled Ginobili and made three consecutive three-pointers.
Ginobili fluttered enough interference.
Harden's shooting was obviously disturbed and he was forced to increase his back.
An almost whistling shot.
"boom!"
The ball hit the backboard, but rebounded into the net bag!
29 to 23!
Harden contributed 6 points and 1 assist in 2 minutes, leading the team to open the difference to 6 points!
Back in the second quarter, Popovich replaced Tang Tian in advance, which was obviously aimed at Harden.
But Brooks continued to play at a super level, and he also put Durant on the court.
Up the Spurs first attack, Dior and Tang Tian called, Tang Tian made a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll shot.
Looking back, Harden was stared to death by Tang Tian. He directly organized the offense and gave Durant a three-pointer in return.
Harden did a really good job tonight, and the offensive organizations all caught up!
Popovich hastily replaced Green.
Dior gave the ball to Split with a high post. Split's shot was not interfered by Ibaka.
Harden took the ball and hit the fast break, against Green's defensive shot and the latter hit.
Popovich paused on the sidelines for a moment.
This time the Spurs are really a bit troublesome.
Both Durant and Harden are in such good shape that no one except Tang Tian can play a restrictive role.
Not Green, neither Leonard.
Only one of the three wings can be used, but two people are opposite.
And just when Popovich just tried to make Tang Tian defend Harden and double-team Durant, Brooks continued to perform superbly and replaced Westbrook.
"You are the best coach, Brooks!"
Some fans shouted on the sidelines, and some **** fans even cried with excitement.
Four little, finally hit the performance they want to see!
After three quarters, the score on the court was 90 to 81.
Although the four young players are very good, the Spurs are not bad.
In the fierce battle of the last quarter, except for Duncan's rest, Popovich put all four other main forces up.
This is obviously meant to be decided in advance.
Brooks was simply there, and Si Shao went into battle.
I have to admit that the Spurs's Duncan and Ginobili are both older and physically unable to compare with the four.
With four less, playing a whole quarter is not a problem at all.
In the organization of Westbrook, Harden went around to catch the ball and hit a difficult three-pointer.
At the scene, fans already raised their hands to make a gesture of God.
This is Harden's 23rd point in the game.
93 to 81, the Thunder once again pulled the point difference to double digits.
"Defend! Defend!"
The cheering of the Pisacek Energy Arena.
The Thunder team is young, and the defensive intensity has skyrocketed in cheers. The Spurs are watching for 24 seconds.
Tang Tian showed a big heart at this time, catching the ball and making a three-pointer shot.
"Oh!"
As if a pot of cold water was poured into the fire-like arena, the monstrous atmosphere at the scene was obviously suppressed.
Popovich applauded on the sidelines at this time.
This three-pointer is extremely crucial for the Spurs.
The Thunder's attack, Westbrook continued to organize, Harden cut from the left to the right at this time, around Ibaka's pick-and-roll, facing Dior's defense outside shot another three points.
"Oh!"
Hit it and go!
"James ~~ Harden !!!"
With the host's shouting tone, the scene fell into boiling again.
Harden's 27th point!
He became the absolute X factor tonight!
Tang Tian was followed by Harden on the frontcourt ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Dior took Parker's pass and went to the layup with an empty cut.
"boom!"
Ibaka chased from behind and nailed the big hat directly.
After Ibaka grabbed a defensive rebound, the Thunder made another fast break.
Harden and Durant followed suit and made a three-line break.
Westbrook threw the ball to Harden, and Harden took the ball and then shot.
Ginobili chased the ball and hit Harden's hand.
Harden was disturbed and lost his balance, but after the ball was shot, he still scored!
3 + 1!
Harden is crazy!
