Chapter 338

When participating in the press conference after the game, McHale seemed very helpless. He said to reporters: "We don't want to lose, but there is no way. We met a super god Durant. I must admit that it is difficult for us to guard against him. The mid-range shot, and he also killed the game with this weapon. But I believe he will not be so good in the next game, and we will go all out."

Soon his words reached Durant's ears, and Durant, who has always been humble and low-key, also raised a rare high profile. He said nonchalantly: "I know that I am not the top player in the league. I also believe that there are many players in the league." People can guard me, but sorry, I don't see such people on the Timberwolves roster, maybe they are joking?"

Durant's remarks made the entire Timberwolves team feel very uncomfortable, and Brewer was even flushed with anger. These words were obviously humiliating him!Xu Hao, who was standing nearby, could hear Brewer's teeth gnashing. He couldn't help but mourn in advance for Durant's next game. No one wants to meet an opponent who is so crazy.

But Xu Hao felt that he needed to do something. He walked over and patted Brewer on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Cory, I know you are very angry, but please bury this anger in your heart. You have to learn to let yourself be You have to be more calm, only in this way can you make accurate judgments when defending, otherwise the six fouls would have already left the field, so why talk about defense?"

Brewer took a deep breath, and his heaving chest slowly returned to calm, but Xu Hao could still feel the anger deep in his heart, which made him very satisfied, such Brewer had a chance Get rid of Durant in the middle of the game.

With only one day between Game [-] and Game [-], McHale simply gave them a day off.But everyone is very concerned about this game. Even if it is a temporary vacation, they all return to the training hall to start training. Although there is no assistant coach to guide them to practice tactical moves, there is Xu Hao, the commander who knows the tactics best. Officer is enough.

Everyone exerted their strength on the training ground, especially Brewer, who simply regarded the training as actual combat, and regarded the teammates standing opposite him as Durant who humiliated him.If Xu Hao hadn't persuaded him in time, he would have killed himself on the training ground, but no one blamed him. They all knew that Brewer was under enormous pressure. He continued to let Durant score 40+, and he himself would not forgive himself.

The high fighting spirit and the spirit of the jelly candy made Brewer really restrain Durant in the first quarter. His hard work made McHale feel a little scared, for fear that he would accidentally hurt himself, of course. The other party will also be condemned by public opinion.But Brewer has ignored everything, the only thing he wants to do is to guard Durant.

Under his constant interference, Durant was having a headache, and tonight he didn't have the fiery touch of the third game. In the first quarter, he only made 6 of 2 shots and scored 6 points and 3 rebounds. It was clearly a failure for him.Although Brewer also had two personal fouls on his back, seeing Durant's embarrassment, he felt that these two fouls were worth it.

However, what made the Timberwolves fans speechless was that even though Durant played like a piece of shit in the first quarter, the Thunder still maintained a slight lead because another of them broke out.It stands to reason that it should be Harden who broke out. He can shoot suddenly like Durant, but his level is relatively low. But what everyone on and off the court did not expect is that the one who stood up to help the Thunder score this time was actually In the previous few games, Westbrook was prevented from being unable to take care of himself.

The Timberwolves’ defensive strategy against Westbrook is to let go and not let go. Everyone knows that Westbrook’s shots are not accurate. His biggest killer move is to use his physical fitness to force a layup and score. From time to time, he can give you a shot. Dunk.Once he is not allowed to break into the inside, he will be caught blind, and can only continue to turn shots into rebounds from the outside.

And Westbrook's shooting is really ugly. Some fans have given his jumper a name on the Internet in disgust - Zombie Jumper. To be honest, he takes off so straight and then shoots straight. It is really no different from a zombie. It's normal if the shooting percentage can't be raised all the time. Who of the top shooters is not a template?

But this time Westbrook's zombie jump shot achieved unexpected results, and Ellington, who was in charge of defending him, was also confused. Could it be that this guy in front of him borrowed Durant's shooting bag today?Otherwise, with his non-standard jump shot, he can still send the ball into the basket?But Ellington also had to admit that this is the truth.

Westbrook played the entire first quarter, scoring 8 points and 6 assists on 13 of 4 shots. His teammates looked at him strangely.No way, Westbrook's jump shot in the first few games was really bad. He was the worst performer among the three players. In addition to relying on his teammates for assists, he basically relied on more shots in each game. I didn't expect his touch to be so hot today, and he scored double-digit points in a single quarter just relying on shooting.

Now it became Ellington depressed, he was more speechless than Brewer.Xu Hao patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to defend Westbrook in the second quarter. Ellington thought about it and politely refused. He still wanted to try again.Xu Hao didn't stop him either. He knew that it was a bit reckless for him to replace Ellington to defend. This was tantamount to distrusting his teammates.

However, after the start of the second quarter, Ellington still had nothing to do with Westbrook. The latter simply handed over the ball to Durant, and he started to run without the ball like a pure shooter, and hit a hit when he seized the opportunity. shoot.This style makes Ellington very uncomfortable. You must know that Westbrook has always been a model of brainless rush. When did you use this method?

In desperation, Ellington had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Xu Hao for help. He felt that it was really difficult for him to deal with Westbrook alone, and Xu Hao agreed to his request without thinking.Under the double team, Westbrook did die down, but he can still pass the ball to his teammates, especially the unmarked Sefolosha, who hit consecutive three-pointers.

Westbrook only played more than 7 minutes in the second quarter, but he contributed 8 points and 4 assists again. When he was off the court, the Thunder led 54 to 49. Brooks was smiling from ear to ear. It's real thunder!
