Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 694
“Super Heavy Artillery (
This game between the Spurs and the Thunder determined the ownership of the first in the Western Conference. This is also a situation that many people never thought of before the start of the season. Of course, if it were put to five years ago, it would be very possible. But time flies, the Western Kings of the year have disappeared from the championship sequence for a long time.
It will be more exciting when all seemingly impossible things happen. From the beginning of the season, the Spurs are still a part of this year’s playoffs. Their record is likely to change from 21 years to 22 years.
Of course, even if the Spurs make everyone’s eyes shine, they will still not be mentioned in this season’s championship battle. In fact, the depth of the current Spurs lineup is still outstanding. But they lack a leader, a player who can stand up and lead the team out of trouble when the team is in trouble. In the eyes of most people, neither Aldridge nor DeRozan seems to be that kind of player.
Losing the first place in the Western Conference in this way, both the Thunder players and Oklahoma fans are a little uncomfortable. After all, they squeezed out the Nuggets after defeating two weak teams in a row, but now they lost to the strong team. Although the Thunder are not as enthusiastic about the results of the regular season as they were in previous seasons, they are not willing to be criticized.
Therefore, the next game is an opportunity for Thunder to let everyone see their combat effectiveness again.
However, it is not a simple matter to win the game. There are no underdogs in the NBA. No matter how strong the team is, they dare not say that they can win every game. What’s more, the Thunder will welcome the second back-to-back game this season. Fortunately, these two games were played at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and the Thunder players were relieved of the fatigue caused by the fatigue.
The first thing they have to face is the Golden State Warriors.
This is the second time the Thunder have played against the Warriors this season. In the last game, they easily defeated each other.
In this game, the Thunder won more easily than last time.
To say that the worst team this season is none other than the Warriors.
At the beginning of the season, Klay Thompson was injured in training and was directly reimbursed this season; after playing a few games, Curry followed in Thompson’s footsteps. Although the latter’s injury is not as serious as Thompson, but will also miss a lot of games. The Warriors really seem to be paying off their debts from previous seasons! In the last game, Green sprained his ankle while scrambling for rebounds. After an injury assessment, he also needed a few breaks. In an instant, the entire Warriors camp was full of wounded soldiers, and even a decent starting lineup could not be formed.
This time he visited Oklahoma, Cole could only come up with starters like Russell, Box, Robinson III, Cauley Stan, and Poole. Compared with the five-star lineup at the beginning of last season, it is almost a sky and an underground lineup, with a difference of tens of thousands of miles.
How should this lineup be described?
This year is Anlo’s fourth season in the league, and it can be considered knowledgeable. But when facing the Warriors’ starting lineup, he was at a loss! Except Russell, An Luo didn’t know anyone. I have heard of Cauley Stein’s name, but he has basically no impression on the court. Anlo even felt that even Warriors fans might not recognize their players.
The Warriors are no longer the Warriors of the previous seasons, and the grievances between them and the Thunder disappeared with Durant’s departure. This game, naturally, is no longer the focus of everyone’s attention.
As it was the first back-to-back game, Donovan put Westbrook and Adams directly on the injury watch list. Although the league has been cracking down on the phenomenon of unexcused rotation players in these two seasons, how can such a thing be banned! The current warriors no longer need Donovan to go all out!
Of course, even if Donovan gave up two starters, the current Warriors are not an opponent of the Thunder.
After Anluo took Alexander, Noel and others to play this strange warrior for three quarters, he also sat back on the bench and became an audience. Although it was three quarters, An Luo still scored 34 points! He is very clear that Donovan will not let himself play for too long, after all, his performance is needed more in the next game. Therefore, An Luo expanded his scoring ability to the strongest point. What’s more, in this Warriors team, basically no one can limit him.
On the other hand, the Warriors, although they lost Pisa, they were not completely without gain.
Russell scored 34 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds from the Nets~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition to the previous two games, he has scored 30 points in three consecutive games. Although this performance has a lot to do with the Warriors’ thin lineup, it still allows everyone to see Russell’s bright future. This is only the first time in Russell’s career, but everyone knows that Russell will definitely play even better this season. Judging from the current situation, the only successful trade between the Nets and the Warriors is Russell.
For the Warriors, Russell’s outstanding performance is also worthy of gratitude. As far as the current situation is concerned, they are basically over this season. But as long as Splash Brothers and Green recover, the Warriors will still be a championship-level team. What’s more, this season they can choose to play bad and compete for the lottery. At that time, whether it is used by itself or used as a bargaining chip in the transaction, the strength of the Warriors will be even higher.
However, the Warriors head coach Cole did not agree with the claim of being bad. At the press conference after the game, he said:
“It’s a shame to lose the game, but we are now a young team and we need more tempering. Even so, I am not particularly satisfied with the team’s current record. We should not think that we should accept the current difficulties. Fate, we should not feel sorry for ourselves. Although we are full of injuries and many players are on two-way contracts. Injuries are also part of the game. We will try to win some games instead of spreading our hands to welcome the lottery. sign.”
In any case, the Warriors are doomed to be silent this season. Of course, many people have expectations of them.
After the Thunder won the game, they did not breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in the next game, they will encounter a opponent who may be the strongest since the beginning of the season.
