Chapter 818 Thunder strikes again

on the plane.

The two daughters, Qin Tao and Zarya, were talking and laughing, and they didn't feel like traveling for a long distance at all.

But as they say, now is to enjoy the game completely, and it is time to travel.

And because the Spurs are still preparing for the fourth game between them in the Thunder, this makes it impossible for them to watch the game between them immediately after they rush to San Antonio.

But this is not a problem at all, and the win or loss of their two teams will basically not affect the Spurs too much after they return to their home court.

After all, this is a veteran team, and it is still the most stable team in the conference finals and finals.

Even if they continue to lose in Oklahoma, returning home will never give the opponent too many opportunities.

Without him!

With the Thunder's current background, they are not even as good as the Pacers.

This is not to underestimate this team, all because their star is not ready.

And the Thunder's management is actually not ready to win the championship.

Otherwise, their operations last summer could not have been minor repairs, but would have recruited a large number of players and stars to join the team.

of course.

The stars look beautiful together, but the final result is often not always beautiful.

As for what will develop in the end, you can basically see the Nets this season.

That's a team of stars and former All-Stars from the main force to the bench.

But their final results were really unsatisfactory.

And after Qin Tao and the others landed in San Antonio, the game in Oklahoma was still an hour away.

Thunder home.

Oklahoma City fans gathered outside the venue early on, using the ways they could think of to cheer for their home team.

have to say.

Fans are definitely the most important part of a basketball program!
Without their support, let alone how the players feel, even a purely commercial league like the NBA may not be able to survive.

so.

The Thunder team is also very aware of this. For some small gifts and accessories, and even some props such as posters and signs, they basically don't charge money.

And outside the entrance channel, there are groups of volunteers under several pergolas who are painting the team's team logo and other things on the faces of the fans.

At last.

When the outside of the venue was about to become a place for festival celebrations, along with the announcement of admission sounded on the radio, there was a bustling scene of queuing up.

And when the fans entered the field one after another, the players of the two teams in the locker room of the home and away teams seemed a little relaxed now.

to be honest.

The feeling of losing is very annoying, but if this emotion is brought into the game, it will only cause harm and not benefit.

Besides, the Spurs are really a team with a very stable temperament.

If you use people to describe them, then they are a mature gentleman who is flattered and humiliated.

As for the Thunder, their current ease is based on the previous win.

Their situation is not the same as that of the Pacers!
If the Pacers have a chance to overthrow the Eastern Conference, then the Thunder are a bit like students asking their teachers for advice.

soon.

As players from both sides entered the stadium, the atmosphere at the scene naturally became different, with cheers and hustle and bustle heard.

warm up.

The appearance ceremony is still the same old style, but compared to the regular season, this level is really cool now.

After the main players of both sides came on the field, the Thunder undoubtedly won the ball and went straight to the Spurs' line.

defensive end.

The Spurs are still very cautious and did not give the Thunder a chance to play fast, and the player linkage is very good.

But Durant's touch in this game is very good, he shoots when he catches the ball, and he looks like he is ready to attack.

really!

When the Spurs began to push, the Thunder consciously dragged them to pick up the tempo.

They forced the Spurs to move, and the faster Yue moved, the faster their rhythm gradually became favorable.

And Leonard's touch is obviously not as fast as Durant's. After catching the ball and operating it, he didn't score the ball in the end.

Thereafter.

As the Thunder held high the banner of offense, there were some minor problems with the Spurs' physical strength and tactics.

They are very obviously inclined to attack from the outside in this game, but Leonard's touch is really not flattering, and repeated strikes can't help them more.

So after the end of the first quarter, the Thunder won by four points 22:18.

After the start of the second quarter, the battle between the rotation players of the two sides was more interesting than the main players.

Quite a few of them really want to show themselves!
Some people may have their contracts expire in the summer, while others want to impress the coach.

So when the main players were about to return to the court, both sides played very tough offenses, which also kept the score at around 15.

And when the main players returned to the court, the Spurs were really not as good as the Thunder.

Because their physical strength was a little unsatisfactory, and Leonard's touch was really not very good before, which affected the team's shooting percentage and gave the Thunder more opportunities.

As league superstars, Durant and Westbrook are naturally good at seizing opportunities.

So after their outburst, the Spurs could be said to be completely blown away by the Thunder in the second quarter. With a score of 20:33, they lost to the Thunder by [-] points at halftime!
Go back to the locker room.

Popovich taught these guys a lesson as if he was scolding his grandson, but after scolding, he seemed to be fine, drinking water and closing the curtain in meditation.

Duncan and the others have long been accustomed to the appearance of the old man.

But they really pulled the brakes in the first half, allowing the Thunder to score so many points.

The second half.

The Spurs finally woke up in the third quarter!
They were like a real army, suppressing Thunder so hard that they couldn't breathe for a long time!

After this quarter of the game, the Spurs finally recovered the score to only eight points by virtue of their toughness and offense.

The last section!
Eight points is not stable for the Thunder.

As long as the Spurs go one step further and maintain their previous form, then this victory will belong to them.

pity!

The Spurs' counterattack was very fierce, but the Thunder's defense was also very strong!

So after the fourth quarter, the Thunder not only kept their lead, but also won this quarter again with a score of 25:20!
At last.

Driven by Durant, the Thunder finally won this key victory with a score of 105:92.

And relying on the double kill of the Spurs at home, they also tied the score, making them look like they have a very good chance!

But again, after the game, not only did the media think that the Spurs were still a member of the finals, even the fans on the forum did not think that the Thunder would be able to break through the Spurs and finally compete with the Eastern Conference champions for the championship!
