Legend Raiders

Chapter 803 Spurs and Thunder

After watching this much-watched game, Qin Tao couldn't help but be moved by the tenacity of the Pacers.

To know.

They were able to win the Heat after playing such a game against the Celtics. No matter what happened in the middle, they are worthy of admiration.

Because at this time, it's not just about your state and other problems. It is no exaggeration to say that they are really like the kind of soldiers who have no backup and go deep behind the enemy's rear alone.

They have no way out, and the game will not talk to them about favors, everything depends on themselves.

In the end, they not only withstood the mighty Heat, but also used a full-court suppressing game to let people see the spirit in them.

Regardless of the various factors off the court, they must be a group of fighters!
While leaving, Qin Tao was not stingy with his praise when he was interviewed by some media, because this Pacers team is worthy of respect.

On the way back to the hotel, Qin Tao and Zarya talked a lot about the players.

One of them is on the court, while the other is an agent. The relationship between the two complements each other, and the discussion is very interesting.

Silent all night.

Indianapolis in the early morning is just like any other big city.

However, there are various posters about the Pacers posted on the streets and alleys, which vividly render the atmosphere of the Eastern Conference Finals.

at the same time.

It was rare for Qin Tao and Zarya to sleep late and sleep until they woke up naturally. During the previous game, this was absolutely impossible.

And when the two woke up, it was almost noon.

The two had a late breakfast talking and laughing, and then Qin Tao went shopping with Zarya.

time flies.

When the two returned to the hotel happily, it was around six o'clock in the afternoon.

They had dinner outside, packed up their things, and sat on the sofa together, drinking some wine, waiting for the evening game to start.

As I said before, the East and West finals will not be held in one day.

Last night was the Pacers and the Heat, so tonight is the Spurs and the Thunder.

These two teams can be said to have led the West from the beginning of the season.

The Spurs' record is firmly in the top spot in the Western Conference, while the Thunder has been the leader from the beginning and gradually became the second in the Western Conference.

These two teams eventually met in the Western Conference Finals, basically not exceeding everyone's expectations.

In the past two years, the Thunder has great potential, but it has always been so hot.

If they can break out of the West this season, maybe they will be more mature than last time.

But what they encountered was one of the most stable giants in the league.

As a veteran team in the league, the Spurs will not make it easy for them.

Moreover, according to their probability of winning the championship in odd-numbered years, this season seems to be the time for them to return to the championship.

soon.

When Qin Tao and Zarya were a little drunk, the picture on the TV finally switched to the stadium.

The atmosphere at home for the Spurs is still very strong, and a famous fan has long been prepared, waiting to cheer for his home team.

thereafter.

Accompanied by bursts of cheers, players from the Spurs and Thunder entered the stadium one after another.

When they came to the players' bench, the coaches of both sides made the final arrangements.

The warm-up and appearance ceremonies were carried out one after another, which set off the atmosphere in the venue very well.

then.

As the referee signaled to the technical stage, the main players of both sides began to walk on the field.

There are no variables in the lineups of the Thunder and the Spurs, because their lineups are very stable and there are no special surprises. They will basically not consider replacing players.

The Spurs lineup is Thiago Splitter at center, Tim Duncan at power forward, Kawhi Leonard at small forward, Danny Green at shooting guard, and Tony Parker at point guard. .

The Thunder's lineup is center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Serge Ibaka, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha, point guard It's Russell Westbrook.

There's absolutely no way Ibaka would lose to Perkins at the jump ball.

The Thunder took the ball and advanced, and it seemed that the rhythm was slightly faster.

According to their tactical system, they are indeed not a defensive team.

With Durant and Westbrook, no one is going to waste their offensive talent.

Come to the front court.

The Thunder's tactics are very clear, that is, to hit Durant.

The first tactical executor at this stage is basically Durant to control.

If it is placed in a year or two, Westbrook may have more shot rights.

The ball was handed over to Durant, and Kawhi Leonard posted it immediately.

Leonard's defense is very threatening to any small forward player, and his gradually emerging death entanglement will have great power.

But Durant can become a top player in the league, so he won't be easily entangled by him.

Relying on his height and arm length, coupled with top technology, Durant directly turned on the offensive mode!

Fake action.

Shake the center of gravity.

Durant's offensive skills are so many that Leonard's defense is very nervous.

suddenly!

Durant took advantage of a time difference and changed his feet one after another, followed by a breakthrough emergency stop with his characteristics.

Hit the shot!

Durant's offense is always very rational. Unless the situation on the field requires it, he will never rush in to make a dunk or something.

Easy to fight again.

The Spurs' offense is very different from the Thunder's.

Their pace was very slow, and it took six seconds to advance to the frontcourt.

However, as the players began to run tactics, the inside twin towers also completed their basic positioning, and then Parker suddenly started, meaning that he wanted to play singles by himself.

have to say.

After a season of matchups, Westbrook has been smart enough to guard Parker.

He used his strong body to block Parker's impact, and explained his movements very clearly, preventing Parker from rushing in immediately.

But guarding Parker doesn't mean Parker can't do anything!
When he suddenly started and stopped suddenly, the basketball in his hand had already appeared in Duncan's hands.

The No. 21 rookie is always so stable.

After finding that other people's running could not help him temporarily, he started the attack decisively and directly.

Honestly.

Ibaka's defense is very strong, but he still has some problems with his defense when facing the old and vigorous Duncan who is similar to a monster.

Especially experience.

He is very active, and after studying Duncan, relying on Duncan's flawed position, he has been able to stabilize it for so many years. Duncan's skills are not vegetarian.

Besides, this guy's IQ is really high. First, he used his back to create some distance, and then turned around with a very conspicuous personal label.

Take off.

Wipe the board.

Duncan's movements are done in one go, and it is not something ordinary people can stop after 20 years of manual work.
