NBA: Top 6D talents to start

Chapter 251

The Suns returned to Phoenix a week later.

The game between the Thunder and the Spurs, the Bulls and the Knicks has finally come to an end.

The Thunder eliminated the Spurs 4:2, and the Bulls eliminated the Knicks 4:3.

The Spurs have Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and Leonard, but in the end they failed to block the firepower of the Thunder's three young men, especially Durant, whose performance made Popovich a little desperate.

This season, the three strongest players in the league are Weidong, James and Durant.

As for the Bulls, this may be the strength of Li Pei, the 'koi carp'. Anthony performed very well in the playoffs, especially in the second round, averaging 41.7 points per game, but eventually lost to the Bulls.

In this case, the matchup table for the Eastern and Western finals will come out.

East: Heat VS Bulls.

West: Suns VS Thunder.

This happens to be the matchup between the top two regular season records in the East and West.

In fact, the biggest opponent of the Suns in the West is the Thunder. The Thunder's three juniors plus Ibaka, this lineup is restrained against the Suns.

Since Weidong entered the league, against all teams, only the Thunder have won two games against the Suns in the regular season.

It was sunny on March 6.

The Suns are at home against the Thunder.

This is also a very interesting thing. In the playoffs last year, no matter which team the Suns faced, they had no home court advantage, but this year has changed. The Suns have the best regular season record in the league, so the first game is in Phoenix does.

Weidong's girlfriend, parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law came to watch the match again.

They came here this time to prepare to return to China together after Weidong finished the finals.

The MVP party organized by Kobe a few days ago also had a great response among the players.

For example, Durant, he is a little sullen, why not bring him to this kind of party?He felt that he was worthy of a regular season MVP.

Yanjing time, at [-]:[-] a.m., the game officially started.

Suns starting lineup: Weidong, Curry, McGrady, Green, Gortat.

Thunder starting lineup: Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Jackson.

On paper, the starting lineup of the Thunder is not weaker than that of the Suns. Harden no longer plays as the sixth man, but starts playing. Ibaka also has a deep resentment towards Weidong, because Weidong A shooting guard stole his block leader.

At the beginning of the game, Gortat gave the ball to Weidong.

When Weidong dribbled, Durant came up to defend him. It seems that the Thunder also realized that the only way to defend Weidong is to rely on Durant.

In the regular season, it was often Harden or Westbrook who defended East.

"Run position, run position!"

While dribbling the ball, Weidong signaled his teammates to run.

When he reached the three-point line, Weidong dribbled the ball with his right hand, and first changed direction in front of his body. When the basketball bounced off the floor, he picked it up with his left hand and turned around against Durant.

"Whoo~~~"

Weidong passed Durant, then rushed to the basket, took off against Ibaka, drifted back in the air, and shot.

"Snapped!!!"

Hit the board and put it in the basket!

Huaxia live broadcast room.

Yu Jia, "It's also difficult for Durant to defend against Weidong."

Instructed Zhang, "Weidong's dribbling rhythm is too strong. He has countless ways to pass Durant."

After Weidong scored, Durant also made a mid-range shot against Weidong's defense.

Everyone is the top player in the league, and Durant will not easily admit defeat in front of Weidong.

Except Weidong and Durant.

Curry has some disadvantages in the matchup with Westbrook. It is difficult for Curry to prevent Westbrook's breakthrough, but Westbrook can limit Curry's three-pointers.

And the old McGrady is not Harden's opponent.

At the 9th minute of the first quarter, Gentry called a timeout. He replaced the main players and let Nash, Thompson, Tucker, Middleton, and Whiteside play.

For the Thunder, head coach Brooks also let Durant, Westbrook, and Harden rest.

The Thunder's players were Fisher, Thabo, Collison, Jackson, and Ibaka. Seeing such a lineup on the court, Gentry unscrewed the thermos and thought to himself, who gave Brooks confidence?

really

As soon as the substitute lineup came on the stage, Thompson received two consecutive assists from Nash and hit a three-pointer.

And Nash also broke through to the basket and scored a layup.

In less than 2 minutes, the Suns beat the Thunder 8:0.

Fisher wanted to rush to shoot a three-pointer, but was blocked by Middleton.

After completing the block, Middleton swooped forward, held the basketball in his arms, and then passed it to Thompson, who passed the ball to Nash.

Nash turned around and passed Jackson, and Whiteside also reached the basket.

Nash throws the ball to the basket.

"Bang!!!"

Whiteside took off and completed the alley-oop.

31:24! ! !

The Suns were still behind when the main players were on the court. After 2 minutes off the bench, they led the Thunder by 7 points.

The first quarter is also over.

Brooks is sullen, it seems that the main players cannot be rested. The depth of the Suns lineup is unmatched by the Thunder.

But he can't do that, the thing he despises Gentry the most is that he overuses Weidong!

If he overuses Durant, what's the difference between him and Gentry?

At the end of the timeout, Durant was about to walk on the court, but was stopped by Brooks.

"Coach, I want to play!"

"no!"

Brooks shook his head, "You rest for a few more minutes, and if the point difference continues to be widened, you will play again!"

Durant, "I'm fine with playing 48 minutes."

"That's not OK."

Brooks shook his head again, then looked at Harden, "You play first!"

The second quarter begins.

Harden returned to the court, and the Suns remained on the bench.

The Thunder attack.

Harden first made a tentative step, and then a step back.

Weidong didn't know how many times he had used this action in the team's training games, and Tucker had foreseen Harden's next move.

After reaching the three-point line, Tucker still defended against Harden.

Harden leaned on Tucker, then threw the ball to the basket. After the ball was released, Harden looked at the referee.

The referee was unmoved!

For the ball just now, Tucker's defense did not make any foul moves, so it can be said that there is no problem at all.

The basketball hit the backboard exaggeratedly, Whiteside grabbed the rebound and handed it to Nash.

"Brother Dong, did I defend well?"

Tucker put down Harden's ball and looked at Weidong as if taking credit.

Harden's three-pointer is very confusing, but compared to Dong Ge, it is still a bit insignificant!

Tucker doesn't know how many times he has suffered this kind of loss from Weidong, and of course he won't be fooled when defending Harden.

The Suns launched a fast break.

Middleton went down, accepted another pass and made a layup.

33:24! ! !

After the two sides replaced the bench lineup, the Thunder did not score a point.

Durant couldn't sit still anymore and asked for a substitution!
