Chapter 332

"A winning streak doesn't mean much to us anymore, but our pursuit of victory will always be instinctive."

On March 3, the Thunder beat the Bobcats led by Westbrook at home.

Westbrook is now the boss of the Bobcats, averaging 20+ per game, and sometimes he plays very explosively.

It's a pity that I still haven't practiced shooting well. When encountering a team with a good defense like the Thunder, the statistics are terrible.

Although Jordan likes him, he doesn't say that Westbrook is like him. He can't teach Westbrook to shoot.

However, Westbrook is indeed getting stronger and stronger, and the Bobcats are still very promising to enter the playoffs in the future.

What they need is to get some suitable stars for Westbrook.

Three days later, the Thunder beat the Rockets for a nineteen-game winning streak.

Then, they went to the next away game, winning [-] consecutive victories after a big victory over the Nuggets.

Then they were back at home, playing back-to-back against the Spurs.

The Spurs have a good record now, second only to them in the West.

Of course, the Thunder's record is still much better than the second place in the Western Conference.

The Thunder belong to the big devil, and the Spurs are now an ordinary Western Conference team.

The Spurs let Leonard start, and after forming a combination of Leonard and Jefferson on the flanks, it is really awesome.

However, they still had problems because Jefferson was injured.

Ginobili was also injured, and the Spurs have been suffering from constant injuries this season.

They can also maintain the second place in the West, which can also explain their strength.

Just from another aspect, this season's Western Conference is really enough to pull the hips.

The Spurs, which are full of wounded soldiers, can't be overtaken by anyone.

Then the Grizzlies, whose first general was injured, have a good record, and the Clippers, who were blown up in front, are a bit embarrassing. They really can't grasp the opportunity.

Paul is really being blown too much, but everyone still doesn't feel it very clearly.

After all, he was born in a small ball market, and it is normal to have some disadvantages in the early stage.

Back in this game, facing the Spurs' remnants, the Thunder got off to a bad start.

Durant pulled again, and Yi Jian really suspected that this guy hooked up with someone after he came back from the All-Star Weekend.

The rookie Leonard couldn't even do it, and Yi Jian despised him.

The point is, Leonard still scored while playing him.

Yi Jian regretted a bit, should he have urged the team to bring Leonard over last summer?

When Leonard was young, he slapped Durant, who was already a superstar, and asked someone to reason.

Of course, this game should be because Durant has a problem with his state. He hasn't woken up these days.

Coupled with Duncan's large-scale assistance in defense like this, as a result, everyone in Thunderbolt fell apart except Yi Jian.

Parker and Duncan went crazy again, which is really a bit difficult to deal with.

Because Blair is more flexible, Yi Jian is on this side, but Duncan exploded on both offense and defense.

Yi Jian felt that the Spurs might win this game.

The Spurs don't fight against strong teams in the regular season, but it's not absolute.

If they start well, they will find a way to win.

If the start is not good, Popovich will train troops, let the main players rest more, and save their energy to abuse the dishes.

This feels like a football league. It doesn't matter if you can't beat a strong team, and you can get good results if you abuse food.

The old guy Popovich still has a few brushes, and it is basically difficult to overturn the abuser, unless the opponent is not a dish.

Fortunately, the current Spurs really don't have any rotation players, and the Thunder gradually stabilized.

On Yi Jian's side, he strengthened his personal attack.

When the team encounters difficulties, the personal scores of the stars inspire the team the most.

While Yi Jian scored, he also sent Blair back to the bench, because this guy couldn't stand the foul anymore.

As an insider, this one is short after all.

The Spurs are playing offense now, and Popovich still doesn't like to use Splitter, so Bonner is replaced.

This is to make it clear that Yi Jian can score points. Yi Jian feels that the Spurs are cutting him off from other players.

But he didn't care, the Spurs let him score, so sure that their offense can be stabilized?
The Spurs are sometimes overconfident. Although coach Popovich keeps pace with the times and has many bad moves, he is sometimes delusional and unbelieving.

Kobe can blow up such a Spurs, and of course Yi Jian can do it too.

In the first half, Yi Jian scored 20+, and Durant was also more locked than Leonard in the second quarter.

Lowry and Green can play well, but they don't have many calls.

The Spurs don't play pure defense now, but the defense is not bad, and ordinary stars can also limit it well.

"You really can't beat a rookie?" Back in the locker room, Yi Jian despised Durant again.

He has done a good job of coaxing Durant now. If he doesn't grab his scoring title, he will also help him in the All-Star game.

If Durant doesn't know what is good or bad, he must say it.

The Thunder's current No. [-] position, even if it is replaced by a player who is weaker than him, can actually win the championship.

Dulan was particularly drifting, which affected the team's three consecutive championships.

In that case, Yi Jian will definitely not save face for him.

"I can blow him up." Durant said angrily.

Durant still has a bit of a temper, and he really likes basketball, and Yi Jian also thinks he won't play it all the time.

So proper stimulation is still necessary. Now he is the Thunder's strongest finisher. If he keeps missing shots, it will really affect the team's offense too much.

If he has been unable to adjust, Yi Jian will have to take over the game.

At that time, Durant will have no data, be scolded by the outside world, and be kidnapped by Yi Jian.

Fortunately, in the third quarter, Durant got better a little bit.

It's only a little bit better, but progress is good.

In fact, he still did not perform as well as Leonard. Leonard actually showed his potential this season, and many teams are probably regretting it.

Some players are like this, he just can adapt to the NBA quickly.

This is how it behaved in college, and it is the same in the NBA.

The difference between people is bigger than that of dogs. For example, some European players can’t adapt to the NBA, but when some ruthless players come, they will say, why the NBA is easier than the European league.

Leonard obviously felt that the NBA was nothing more than such a player, but he didn't say anything.

And he is in the Spurs, and he won't get too many opportunities at the beginning.

Becoming the main force so quickly already shows his strength.

However, the Spurs are still far behind the Thunder as a whole.

Leonard's influence on tactics is now completely inferior to Durant.

Durant shot more three-pointers in the second half, widening the court space, which can be regarded as a match for Yi Jian's offense.

In this case, even if he doesn't perform so well, he still makes it difficult for the Spurs.

This is the case with the strongest team in the league. The key is that Duncan may have exerted more strength in the first half, and now he has a little fatigue.

Duncan's efficiency dropped, and Parker couldn't hold on at all.

Without Duncan, Parker is just an ordinary All-Star, nothing big.

The Thunder played better and better, and Lowry, Green and other outside lines cooperated with the output.

The situation on the court slowly reversed.

The Spurs began to be in a dilemma.
