Coming to the second half of the game with a 4-point disadvantage, the Thunder, which had always been at a disadvantage in the main matchup, changed their defensive strategy at the beginning of the second half. Westbrook, Holiday, and Ariza strengthened their front Although the defensive strength of the field did not successfully complete the steal, it formed a good delay both times, which reduced the time for the Nets to organize the offensive end after entering the frontcourt. It has to be said that the Thunder's perimeter defensive lineup is indeed very mobile, and they are very good at using their own advantages when defensively pressing, that is, the tacit understanding between Curry and Green can help the team resolve this situation.

Defensive tactics have achieved good results. On the offensive end, Westbrook and Holiday also scored consecutively. After Durant left, Holiday's shooting rights have also increased relatively. Facts have proved that this combo guard's offensive talent is before It is also somewhat buried, and against Curry's defense, he can also give a stable output.

It has to be said that the Thunder actually handled the Durant deal relatively well. First of all, Durant, who has less than one season left in his contract, was exchanged for Gerry, who can continue to use him for two or three seasons. Finn, more importantly, Griffin happens to be a native of Goose City. Under normal circumstances, his hometown complex is also one of the bargaining chips for keeping people. Later, the team traded Ibaka, who has fallen seriously, for not occupying the ball. Quan's 3D Ariza, Ariza is not only suitable for the Thunder, the remaining 3 years of 21 million contract will also expire in 2018, if Griffin chooses to leave at that time, then the team does not renew Ariza, and it is also a problem to start rebuilding directly Nice idea.

A successful team uniform team needs to integrate various factors in terms of management and make considerations that are most beneficial to itself. The Thunder team's uniform team is definitely the best in the league. There is only one problem with them, that is, they traded back then. Harden, it can be said that this is a mistake that will last forever. No matter how many repairs are made afterwards, there is no way to fill this hole.

The Thunder team, which overtook the score, took advantage of the victory to pursue, while for the Nets, Curry's hand feeling declined. After three consecutive missed shots, he took the initiative to delegate power and switched to Leonard and Porzingis as the main attackers. Facing Olynyk, Porzingis took advantage of his height and arm length and began to attack the opponent head-on.

Among the new generation of centers, Porzingis not only has the tallest height and the longest wingspan, but also has the strongest explosive power. As a white insider, Olynik's static confrontation is very good, but compared to other defenses, what is more terrifying about him is that his defense is very low, focusing on unloading the opponent's arms. Randolph of the Grizzlies is The victim of his little move, Favors of the Jazz was also folded in his hands. He attacked three times in a row. Porzingis made two offenses and once cooperated with Leonard to help the Nets After the team approached the score, Olynyk began to play dirty tricks. Leonard missed a jumper and Porzingis stood still and jumped up the rebound steadily. Suddenly, someone tapped his waist hard. He lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

For a big man like Porzingis, it is a terrifying thing to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground. Porzingis' fall scared his teammates. JR Smith rushed to Olynyk at the first time, and was then caught by Ger Liffin stopped, and then the referee, Curry, including Westbrook, tried their best to prevent their teammates from getting involved in the conflict, and quickly brought the situation under control. Porzingis also stood up with the help of the team doctor. In this case, in any case, he had to return to the locker room for an examination as soon as possible.

But fortunately, Porzingis walked back to the locker room by himself, so it seems that the trouble will not be too big.

The referee blew a malicious foul by Olynyk, and the Nets got two free throws and one throw. Curry hit two free throws steadily, and then completed the pick-and-roll cooperation with Green and then jumped up and shot Olynyk. The ball fell, the referee's whistle had already sounded, and Olynik fouled with a shot.

The Thunder committed malicious fouls twice in this game, and they also got rid of the main center of the Nets. At this time, the referee team must do something, after all, they can't always let the honest people suffer, right?

Curry made three free throws and the Nets scored five points in one round. The original 6-point difference was instantly reduced to only one point.

Looking back, Westbrook named Curry singles, forcibly broke through Curry's defense, faced Nurkic who was supplementing the defense, and rushed up to fight for a foul without hesitation, but the ball was shot outrageously, and the referee's whistle There was no sound, and the Nets took advantage of the situation to counterattack, with a fast break on the third line, chasing dreams and assisting JR to complete a pull-bar dunk, igniting the atmosphere of the audience.

It's a pity that JR is no longer the JR who was at the peak of his body five or six years ago. Otherwise, facing this kind of opportunity, he must be able to find opportunities to play well.

The referees are stricter in whistle-blowing, and the Thunder's offense is much more difficult. The team's outside shooting ability is really bad enough, and the more inaccurate their outside shots, the more exaggerated the Nets' inside contraction. Then it will be harder to kill the inside line. In fact, if it weren't for facing Curry, Donovan would have come to Kanter to improve his offense in the morning. The Turks' low-post singles are of high quality and quantity, and they can bring Westbrook alive. However, facing the Nets, Donovan knows that at this time, Kanter is to give Curry a scope, and the offensive end does not get enough points for Curry. Sent.

This is also one of Curry's horrors. The regular season is fine, but in the playoffs, he can prevent half of the opponent's team from entering the rotation.

The fans on the sidelines will scold Donovan "SB" for being timid, and the commentator will also say "why not let Kanter try", even Kanter himself has the confidence to change everything on the field, but Donovan Wan himself knew the consequences of all this, just as Doctor Strange found the only way to win Thanos out of 14 million endings with the Magic Gem, Donovan would rather choose to replace Olynyk and play one big and four small, so that Griffin went inside to defend Nurkic, but he didn't dare to replace Kanter. Every choice to play Kanter seemed destined to lose.

There is one less barrier inside, Leonard on the wing position is also liberated, and the Nets' offense is even more unscrupulous. Stevens directly let Curry play the full third quarter before taking a rest. At this time, the point difference has been widened to 12 points, and the Nets are in sight of victory.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, another exciting scene appeared. Porzingis walked out of the locker room passage, and there seemed to be no problem with his body. This made the fans in the audience heave a sigh of relief. Lopez suffered a lot.

Here Porzingis led the rotation players on the field, and the Thunder's direct main lineup led Kanter to face off. For the Thunder, the advantage is that the players have good physical fitness. Westbrook, Holiday, and Griffin can all play for more than 40 minutes, and Kanter, the big offensive weapon, can only be used when Curry is resting. Use, when Curry comes back, you have to take it down. After resting in the locker room for a while, Porzingis' physical condition is now at the best stage. Facing Kanter, who is defending tens of thousands of people, he easily hits a frontal attack. I can't believe it. Kanter's defense , I really don't deserve his body.

Looking back, on the offensive end, Kanter and Westbrook completed the pick-and-roll cooperation and then received the ball. He turned around and passed the defense flexibly, and scored easily at the basket. Since entering the league, Kanter has not failed to improve. In addition to low-post offense, his other offensive methods are also constantly improving. There is no progress.

Holiday and Trevor Ariza's offer caused Dinwiddie to make a mistake in possession of the ball on the offensive end. The Thunder's quick counterattack struck like a thunderbolt.

But then in the next defense, Westbrook missed the ball in defense without the ball. Porzingis sent an attack pass from outside the three-point line, and handed the ball to Carter, who made an air cut, facing Griffin With his defense, Carter took off just like himself when he was young, and ran into the opponent.

That is to say, the opponent was Carter, so Griffin did not force a malicious foul to destroy the dunk, but allowed himself to become the background board. This may also be a inheritance between the two dunk kings. This goal should be mentioned countless times in the summary after the season.

Griffin's problem is a small problem, the key is that Westbrook's off-ball defense is indeed full of loopholes. In many cases, it is really a problem of defensive habits. Take your chances and hit them hard on the hood. You know, the Nets can almost be said to be one of the best off-ball teams in the league.

The Thunder's offense, this time it's Griffin, faced O'Quinn with a strong face-up hit, and his teammates' shooting ability is not very strong, so Griffin's singles is also very hard, but fortunately Griffin's superstar quality is still very good Enough, at this time period, he is indeed worthy of the title of the league's number one power forward. Green can barely entertain him, but O'Quinn is really helpless.

Looking back, Porzingis missed a mid-range shot, Griffin once again received the rebound steadily, and played an offensive on the offensive end, and caused Porzingis to foul.

Griffin scored an extra penalty and the point difference was narrowed to 7 points.

Stevens looked calm on the surface at this time, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. Thunderbolt's people are all physical monsters, and more importantly, they can be said to be playing for this Christmas battle. Fate, after this fight, you can lose whatever you want later on, and therefore, whether you play the main force or increase the confrontation in this game, you must win at all costs. However, the Nets, who are aiming for the championship, really don't want to fight against them. The previous strategy was to control the initiative of the game in their own hands, and the Thunder obediently got into the fishing net. But right now, the opponent's struggle is beyond Stevens' estimation, and there is really a possibility of death.

Should it be replaced in time with the main net, or should it be carried out according to the original plan? is a problem.
