Super Heavy Artillery

Thunder this competition, wins very suddenly. All of a sudden, Anluo and others did not have the exciting feeling to advance to the Western Conference finals. They are ready to play game 7.

"At the end of the first half, we felt a lot of pressure." Donovan looked relieved after the game. When asked how he felt about the game, he said: "but we didn't give up because of it. The more difficult it is, the more we must maintain a strong fighting spirit. That's the key to winning the game. Judging from the result of the game, we did well

Of course, winning the game is naturally a happy thing. If you can play one less game, the players will consume less energy. It will help later in the game.

"Fortunately, we are the one who won the game. This allowed us to avoid the most fierce of the seven wars. Of course, the rest of the game will be more difficult. However, we will be ready to deal with it. I think we have the ability to go further, we have a stable squad, great players and a lot of experience... "

Donovan's remarks at the press conference represent the current attitude of the whole thunder. This season, thunder's goal is to defend the title. Of course, they never hide that. Now, thunder is getting closer to that goal. The strength they have shown is indeed proud.

But in fact, they still have many problems.

The defensive side of the problem, has been affecting the thunder. Thunder averaged 102.5 points in six games against the Rockets. That's five points more than their average loss in the regular season. This is a very big step back! You know, this is the playoffs. The biggest problem is on the front line, especially grant. In fact, his defense is good and his enthusiasm is very high. But inside and outside the line need him to help defend, the burden is still a little heavy. Paul George has lost Robertson's "bonus" and reduced his defensive deterrent. It can be seen from his average steals. When Robertson was there, he averaged 2.8 steals per game; after Robertson retired, the number dropped to 1.9. The field is nearly one less steals, the limit for the attack is much smaller.

There are also some problems on the offensive side. Thunder's players seem to have been used to the fact that ANLO and Paul George dominate the offensive end, so when the other side against them, Westbrook and other players can not make up for the defect in offensive firepower. In fact, Westbrook, Adams, grant, Kant, these players can score. But since the start of the playoffs, none of these players have done very well on the offensive side.

Both sides of the offensive and defensive problems can be solved. But the biggest problem concerns Donovan. In the previous games, Paul George's shoulder, ANLO's ankle, Adams, Westbrook and other players have had similar minor injuries.

Injury is Donovan's biggest worry. And they are also victims of injuries.

In fact, in this year's playoffs, injuries have been inseparable. Not only thunder, but other teams have not escaped injury.

The warriors, before the playoffs, were hailed as the team most likely to win the championship this year. It's also the team that has suffered the most from injuries. In the first game of the playoffs, cousins was injured and was directly reimbursed for the season. It's four stars, five stars. This also makes the plot of the "alliance finale" that was originally thought to be more possible. In the subsequent game, curry, Thompson and Durant are small injuries. In particular, curry and Thompson, both ankle injuries in the game, in the series against the Nuggets, missed several games. If it wasn't for Durant's outburst, the warriors would have been unable to resist the Nuggets. Although the warriors are leading by a big score now, they are also under great pressure in the following games.

Even out of the rockets and out of the Nuggets, but also did not escape the disaster of injury.

Thunder team, in addition to the previous Robertson, but there is no major injury. However, the small injuries were not broken. Paul George's shoulder injury has never been completely healed. Paul George has been struggling with his shoulder injury all season. Although there is no need to suspend the game to recuperate, but still affected his performance in the game. ANLO sprained his ankle in the second game against the Rockets. In his career, it's true that injuries have rarely affected him. Of course, this also has a lot to do with his short time in the league and his technical characteristics. He is not like the league's traditional guard, with explosive physical fitness, like to use his explosive power and all kinds of changes to break through and score. He's shooting more often and fighting back to back singles. It looks a little bit "soft", but it can't stand. ANLO can score and score more than most players in the same position. In this way, ANLO was injured. We can see the intensity of the game.

The good thing is, neither ANLO nor Paul George has a big problem. I can still play before and can still maintain the normal level of the game. Of course, it was diagnosed by the doctor. As a professional player, it is rare for a certain game or a series to risk affecting the whole career and fight with injuries. The team's management and coaching staff have no right to let players do that.Thunder's biggest problem is, Adams's injury. In Houston's last western conference semi-final, he stepped on the other side's instep and sprained his ankle in a scramble under the basket, then limped off the field.

After a quarter and a half of the game, Adams did not appear on the court. Fortunately, Noel played well and helped thunder town to hold the forbidden area.

However, without Adams, thunder's strength will be reduced by at least 20%. Adams's role has already exceeded the role of ordinary players. Even everyone thinks that thunder is a four-star team. The fourth largest is Adams.

Fortunately, Adams's injury was not serious. However, he has to rest for at least a week. In other words, if the warriors beat the Nuggets 4-1, Adams is likely to miss the first game or even the second game. In this way, when the thunder against the warriors, they will be out of a disadvantage in the interior. If it's the Nuggets, then the inside of the disadvantage is even greater!

This is a big hidden trouble of thunder, and Donovan is most worried about. Although the thunder in these two seasons has been dominated by the outside line, but the role of ADAMS on the field is irreplaceable.
