Chapter 244 Another scene

On the second day, Presti and the players came to the arena for training very early. Since the victory over the Lakers last night, the players saw the goal that was close at hand, and they trained even more frantically!

The average age of the team is young, and the biggest advantage is its strong recovery ability. After such a fierce game last night, everyone is alive and well this morning!
"Coach, how will we deal with the Lakers in the next game!" Paul George asked curiously.

And the other players all looked towards Presti after hearing Paul George's question.

"How to deal with it, how to play the last game and how to play the next game" Presti said with a smile.

"So they won't change?" Curry asked.

"What's the use of changing formations? Your coach D'Antoni will always rotate with 7 or 8 players. In the end, he will definitely be exhausted. In addition, even if D'Antoni has a way to deal with us, there are no players who implement tactics!" Presti said confidently.

Hearing what Presti said, the players looked at each other and smiled, and the Western Conference finals are secured!
………………

League group, Lionel Hollins: "Haha, I knew the Lakers couldn't beat the Hornets!"

Pooh DeNagello: "Obviously!"

Lionel Hollins: "The Lakers beat me so hard on the Grizzlies, so they can't beat the Hornets!"

George Karl: "Another intense matchup today! Thunder and Spurs!!"

Lionel Hollins: "@brooks, come out and talk, how long have you been diving!"

Brooks: "I don't have time, I'm thinking about tactics, today is a tough battle! I don't dare to take Popo's Spurs lightly!"

George Karl: "You have to work harder, I think only your Thunder and the Eastern Heat can pose a threat to the Hornets!"

Spoelstra: "@Brooks, work hard, look forward to the finals where our two teams meet!"

Brooks: "OK!"

………………

In the evening, at the Chesapeake Energy Stadium, another high-profile Western Conference semifinal Thunder VS Spurs has begun!

At this time, Presti and the team's assistant coach were waiting in front of the TV for the start of the game. In the previous season, the Thunder defeated the Spurs 4:2 to advance to the finals, but the process was not easy. In this life, they met again, but only in the Western Conference semifinals.

At this time, the Chesapeake Energy Stadium turned into a blue ocean, and the Thunder fans uniformly wore blue T-shirts to cheer for the home team. Even through the screen, Presti could feel the enthusiasm of the scene!
"The fans in Oklahoma are really great," Presti admired silently in his heart.

In fact, Presti was expecting the Spurs to win, because Presti had full confidence that he could beat the Spurs, but he was not so sure about the Thunder, because the Thunder's lineup was really more restrained in tactics against the Hornets. Fortunately, the current Thunder players' skills are not as mature as in previous generations!
Soon the game started, the Thunder quickly entered the rhythm of the game, Durant teamed up with Westbrook to keep scoring points, but Boris Diaw received Parker's pass to the ground, ate the cake and smashed the dunk in time to stop the bleeding for the Spurs!

Then Harden teamed up with Gibson to hit one after another!
Presti sighed: "The Thunder's talent is really overflowing. Most of the Spurs' scoring comes from cooperation, but the Thunder's scoring is simple and rough. They are not singles, or just pass the ball once and attack directly!"

Cole laughed and said, "You didn't choose the Thunder team yourself!"

Monty Williams said: "This Thunder is really a formidable enemy, the athletic talent is great! The perimeter defense and the defense in the penalty area are both very good!"

Presti laughed and said, "Yeah, the Thunder is the biggest enemy!"
