After a tie in Oklahoma, the two sides will move to Houston for two consecutive games. At this time, D'Antoni is full of confidence. He didn't actually expect to win a victory in Oklahoma. But I have to say that the current situation is more conducive to the Rockets.
Donovan was actually not too worried. The fighting power they showed in the second game, let everyone see the attitude and ability of the defending champion, it is indeed extraordinary. As long as they maintain a normal state, the Thunder are not afraid of any team at the moment.
Insiders and fans following the NBA circle have expressed many views on the first two games of the Thunder and Rockets series. Those who are optimistic about the Rockets, except for the Houston fans, are mostly conquered by their hard-working temperament in the first game. Those who are optimistic about the Thunder were overwhelmed by their strong combat effectiveness in the second game. In that game, the Thunder won too neatly!
"Never underestimate the heart of a championship. The only one who can beat the Thunder, apart from themselves, is probably God."
"Thunder just need to play normally to make it to the Western Conference Finals!"
"LeBron has not yet reached his best form. Once he reaches the level of the regular season, the Rockets have everything possible this season."
"Gordon should play a more important role in the game! He has that ability. Especially when Harden has not found the form, he should become the core of the Rockets offensive."
……
What other people say is actually just joining in the fun. For the game, it will not have much impact. After all, the players decide what the game will be.
When the Thunder were actively preparing for the game in Houston, the other semifinals in the Western Conference also tied 1:1. The Nuggets are really growing up! Under the leadership of Malone, they matched the Warriors. After losing the first away game, he fought the second game tenaciously. Unlike the Rockets, the game they lost has been very anxious until the final moment.
This hit many people in the face severely. Before the game, there are many who think the Warriors will pass easily. Now it seems that their life is no better than Thunder. No one in the Warriors can limit Jokic, who can't limit Jokic, and naturally can't limit the Nuggets' offense.
I have to say that the NBA is moving towards an era of coexistence. Last season, after the results of the Western Conference Finals came out, the ownership of the championship was basically settled. Because at that time, the eastern part was completely without the power of a war. James forced the Cavaliers to enter the finals, which is already a miracle. But this year is different. Whether it's the Thunder, the Warriors, the Rockets or the Nuggets, any team will face a tougher game after they rush out of the West.
But that's all for later. Now everyone is concerned about which two teams will make the finals. Regardless of the fierce fighting on the west side, the east is not too much. The four teams fought each other and played dimly.
On May 4, the fighting reignited. An Luo and others arrived at the Toyota Center early in the morning. Westbrook wears a floral shirt with a pair of tight cropped pants, very eye-catching. This guy is too irritable.
However, this guy's performance in the game is even more irritating. In this game, Westbrook scored 5 three-pointers and hit 80%! Not only the audience at the scene felt incredible, but even Donovan, An Luo and others were very surprised.
Westbrook's performance shows how smooth the Thunder game is. If it is in the restricted area, then it is another situation!
With Westbrook's outstanding performance, the Thunder's victory came much easier than expected. Anlow and Paul George were very restricted by each other, but Westbrook let them fall short.
This time, the Thunder regained their home court advantage. Although they were not as strong in this game, they still occupied the initiative from start to finish and did not give the Rockets a slight advantage.
After 2:1, Donovan breathed a sigh of relief. Losing at home is a very annoying thing. Even if they won a big victory afterwards, they fell behind. But now it's finally back!
Before An Luo and the others were happy, the big score was pulled back by the Rockets. In the second game in Houston, the Thunder lost! The series is like this, the situation is changing at any time. It is really not easy to have the last laugh.
Westbrook failed to continue his magical performance in the last game. He can only focus on organization and defense, and of course the effect is not bad. The performance of Anluo and Paul George was more than enough to lead the Thunder to victory. But the game was still lost.
Harden, UU reading www.uukanshu.com became the key to the Rockets' victory. In fact, his performance in the playoffs has never been good. But this time, Harden finally played a hearty game.
In the first quarter, he caused An Luo two consecutive fouls, making the latter very passive. In the following game, Harden's life was easier under An Luo's throwing of the mouse. No one can stop him! In 40 minutes, Harden scored 51 points! Also contributed 7 rebounds and 8 assists.
Paul, Capela, Gordon and others also performed well. They are almost the same as the Thunder. After losing at home, they all sighed. During the game, the look of the Rockets players who swear by not winning, shocked An Luo. What he didn't know was that they were in the same situation in the second game.
There is a Harden in a runaway state, plus all the people are soldiers, and the three armies are killed. This series once again returned to the starting line.
"James ruled this night. He scored very efficiently and caused us a lot of damage. The whole night we were thinking about how to limit him, but unfortunately, we did not do it."
In fact, Donovan was helpless for this game. The Thunder's state in this game is not worse than the previous one, whether it is the performance of Westbrook, Anlow, Paul George, or the performance of other role players and substitute players, there is no big problem.
The value of super stars is reflected. The performance of the Thunder Big Three in this game is passing, but it is still a bit worse than Harden's invincible state.
