Chapter 422 Winning streak
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder did not replace Westbrook, but replaced Robertson and brought Harden up. The biggest change in the Thunder this season was the replacement of the head coach and the hiring of Donovan, who has won two consecutive NCAA titles.

In the previous life, Thunder fans called Donovan a "multi-iron head". It was a tactic of playing all the time, especially the defensive tactic. They used the center forward to flank the line, and the timeout was not timely.

Of course, what makes the Thunder fans complain the most is that Donovan is always a substitute. No matter how good you play, you have to play at the right time. Likewise, no matter how bad you play, you can play at the right time.

For example, Westbrook is clearly on top now, but he still stays on the court.

Harden held the ball from the outside, faced Curry, turned to the right, passed easily, and rushed in. Green quickly came to help defend, and scored against Green with a throw!Finally hit!
This season Harden practiced his skills hard in the summer, and now his offensive skills are more mature.

The Pelicans attack and the Thunder man-to-man.

Curry quickly led the frontcourt, facing Westbrook, and was about to bring it in. At this time, Jordan went up to flank and forced Curry to take the ball. At this time, Davis cut to the basket, and Curry passed the ball through the gap!At this time, Ibaka hurriedly defended, but it was much easier for Davis to hit Ibaka, relying on a strong hit!
Ibaka is invincible in defense, but there is basically no way to defend Davis alone, a technical big man like Aldridge with sufficient core strength.

Harden is still leading the frontcourt here, Paul George went up to defend, and quickly brought Durant, who was misplaced with Thompson's back! !

At this time, Thompson withstood Durant's foot and kept interfering, which made Durant uncomfortable. Durant turned around and made a shot, and the interference went wide.
Davis got the rebound and gave it to Curry. Curry counterattacked, but the Thunder retreated quickly and had no chance.

Curry and Davis played a pick-and-roll in the middle to attract Jordan to switch defenses. Westbrook caught up from the side. At this time, Davis cut to the basket. Curry immediately passed the ball.

Presti stood up and applauded to show his praise. This ball can show Davis' progress. His vision is very good now.

The Thunder attacked, Durant received the ball from the outside, and the Pelicans still played a mixed defense. Facing Thompson, they lowered their center of gravity and suddenly broke through to the left.

The Pelicans attacked, Curry and Davis played a pick-and-roll, changed direction with the ball and passed Jordan, attracted Westbrook to chase and then split the ball. After Davis received the ball from a high position, he made an open shot!

Since the second half of last season, Davis' shooting touch has gotten better and better. An open opportunity like this is basically equal to giving Davis points.

This time it was Westbrook who took the ball, accelerated to the frontcourt, faced Curry and accelerated to the right, and Curry couldn't defend at all. Due to his natural physical condition, Curry basically couldn't defend against a muscular man like Westbrook.

However, after Westbrook rushed in, facing Davis' supplementary defense, he was not afraid and jumped up for a layup!

But in the confrontation, the ball was not scored!After Green slammed down the rebound, he counterattacked, and the three Pelicans made a fast break. After reaching the frontcourt, they gave it to Thompson on the right. At this time, even though Harden was interfering in front of him, Thompson still made a quick shot!Goal in, perfect rhythm!This kind of chasing three-pointer, Thompson is more stable than Curry.

Thunder coach Donovan sat on the sidelines, as steady as Mount Tai, did not arrive at the point, did not make substitutions, and continued to play!

The Thunder's attack, at this time, is still Curry's defense, and it is still a step and a half away, giving Westbrook a middle distance. At this time, Westbrook received the ball to test,
Seeing this, Presti shook his head helplessly. He is too familiar with Westbrook's action. Basically, when Westbrook is like this, he will make a three-pointer. Sure enough, Westbrook suddenly pulls up a three-pointer!Curry also reached out to interfere.

As expected, hit the iron, miss the shot, grab the rebound, Green got it again, and this time he still did not hesitate to make a fast break!

At this time, the Thunder accelerated their defense. After Green accelerated the frontcourt, the Thunder had already retreated in place, but Green was emptied again. Green took the ball without hesitation and shot a three-pointer!Swipe and hit! !
In the same summer, Green was also training crazily. Presti told Green that if you can make three-pointers steadily, then you will be an All-Star player in the league. If you can achieve three-pointers steadily, I will let you be the engine of the team.

The fans applauded wildly. Green almost made a three-pointer. What else can the opponent use to resist us?
The Thunder attacked, this time Harden held the ball, facing Paul George, unbelievingly changed to the right, and did not pass!After Jordan stepped forward to pick and roll, Paul George forced his way through, and the long arm broke the ball!
Paul George accelerated, and after grabbing the ball, he scored again and ran to Curry in front!Westbrook posted over and continued to score Green, who was going down quickly. After taking the ball, Green directly attacked the frame, causing Jordan's foul!Green made two free throws!

After Westbrook received the ball in the backcourt, he ran with all his strength, went to the backcourt and passed Curry in one step, still facing Green's help defense, layup!This time the ball was finally scored,
Curry took the ball steadily to the frontcourt, and continued to play pick-and-rolls to find misplaced opportunities.

At this time, Davis made a screen, Paul George came out with the screen, Curry immediately passed the ball, and after receiving the ball, he made a shot!

This time there was no rebound, Jordan was stuck, Westbrook took off the rebound and accelerated with all his strength, and the Pelicans also quickly returned to defense.

The Thunder had a chance from outside, but Westbrook didn't score, and the layup was missed by Davis' interference!

Green, Paul George stuck inside, Curry took off the rebound, accelerated the frontcourt, just passed the logo, pulled up and threw a three-pointer, and there it is again!

The Pelicans are in hot form tonight!
After that, the Thunder relied on Durant's singles, and Harden could also score by switching defenses and playing others, but the point difference has been behind the Pelicans by double digits! .

In the second quarter, the Pelicans sent Barea, Bradley, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, and Jokic to play the Nuggets tactics of the previous life.

The Thunder also replaced the bench, but Westbrook did lead the bench. As a result, the Pelicans' climax opened the score at 12:4!
The Thunder's Donovan still adopted the defensive tactic of pinching the ball holder on the line, which directly gave Jokic a chance to play, take the ball as a cover, hand it to Middleton, and Middleton took the ball and threw it!Can't interfere at all.

Then Jokic can easily beat Collison under the basket, and the Thunder can't defend inside and outside!
After Westbrook broke through and came in, he faced the help defense and then divided the outside line. When he had a chance, the Thunder still missed a three-pointer!

The Thunder's team building strategy is completely outdated. In the previous life, the Thunder had always selected jumpers with good physical fitness, regardless of whether there was blue or not. As a result, in the playoffs, the space was compressed so much that they were blasted by all kinds of shots!

Westbrook's inaccurate basket gives enough space to defend against Westbrook. Westbrook can't play against Curry and Harden at all, so even if Jokic is replaced, the singles efficiency is not high!
Seeing that the game was about to turn, Donovan replaced Harden and Durant. After the replacement, Harden used the pick-and-roll to hit Jokic, and the Thunder came alive all of a sudden, chasing 6 points in a row!At this time, Presti also called a timeout, took Paul George up to defend Harden, and at the same time replaced Davis, so Harden would be very difficult!

Harden is very uncomfortable being defended, so we can only look at Durant, but Durant not only has to play singles on the offensive end, but also contributes to the defensive end, and his physical strength is exhausted very quickly!
The Thunder side is much simpler. Antetokounmpo's low-post singles, the Thunder can't defend, and Davis' singles still can't defend the Thunder!A few minutes later, the Thunder replaced all the starters, but Durant was replaced to rest, and the playing time was too long!
After Durant went down, the main attacker was given to Paul George. Facing the Thunder without Durant, Paul George was tantamount to crushing the front line, and the Thunder had a scoring shortage after Durant left!

Westbrook made a shot, Harden was defended by Paul George, and there was no stable shooter on the outside. The point difference soon came to 20 points!
In the second half, the Thunder rallied to catch up, but the point difference was too big, and the Thunder's substitutes were weak. After the rotation lineup, they collapsed again. In three and a half quarters, the Thunder withdrew all their main players and announced that the game was over!

And the Pelicans easily got off to a good start!

After the game, the media could only comment that the Pelicans were stronger than before, but their opponents became weaker.

In fact, this season, what made the Thunder even more anxious was that Durant's contract was about to expire next season. They had been fighting for too long. Except for the first time Presti took the championship, they never climbed over the mountain of the Pelicans. Therefore, many people speculated that if the Thunder did not produce any results this season, Durant would definitely leave!
