Chapter 178 Goodbye, Young Man With Full Bow! Invincible Posture!
Thinking back to the first time the Thunder passed the "strong team quality inspection machine" of the Texas top three,
At that time, Chen Hao had just upgraded to the prototype version of the ball-carrying core, and the Thunder trio had just upgraded to version 2.0.
With such strength, if it weren't for the referee's help, the Thunder would have been able to compete with Nowitzki's Mavericks, let alone now.
Nowadays, Chen Hao's personal ability has undergone a huge transformation, and the entire Thunder team has been upgraded to version 3.0.
This is an all-round upgrade!
It’s also the launch of the Galactic Battleship!
Obviously, this Galaxy battleship is facing the test of the playoffs and has blinded the fans' eyes once it appears.
The Thunder's performance in defeating the Dallas Mavericks in two consecutive games with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves has almost changed the meaning of the term "garbage team".
That's right,
Competitive sports are so realistic, just like the "Bad Boys Legion", it can be a compliment or a derogatory term.
Now, the term 'garbage team' has long lost its derisive connotation and is more like a synonym.
What three teams are cancerous?
Are you kidding me? You can say that the Randolph trio have too much off-court news, but you can't say that they are humble!
What kind of parallel import second place, Mr. Bulls suspended?
That's called the prodigal son turning back, and it's more precious than gold!
what?!
If there is any team in the league whose fans are the craziest about this matter, it is not the Wild West Cowboys in Dallas, but the fans of the Greater New York Knicks.
These boring fans can't make it to the playoffs because they pay attention to the Thunder.
It's not just crazy, it's crazy.
"Stupid! Can the Knicks front office fire themselves? Why did they make that mid-season trade?"
"Yes, this is to support the enemy! You are really blind to make such a deal! Let go of two All-Stars with 330 instant combat power!"
"D'Antoni can get out of class. Facts have proved that it's not Randolph and Crawford who are cancerous, it's that he doesn't know how to use them!"
The curses from the fans in Greater New York became more and more fierce as the Thunder's performance got better.
Earned enough shots for myself.
Such a spectacle is not surprising. It is a characteristic of Knicks fans to criticize their home team more harshly than their opponents.
At the beginning of the season, that's not what they said.
In order to trade these two cancers of the team, Knicks fans sent letters to the team every day, saying that if Randolph and Crawford were not traded, their tickets would be refunded.
Moreover, no one may be able to imagine the pressure Chen Hao must bear behind him to be able to do all this.
Let’s not talk about whether the three Randolphs can be integrated into the team.
It is not easy for the Thunder and Chen Hao to make changes in the middle of the season and urgently complete the run-in at the end of the season.
As soon as this is finished, we have to face the challenge of the high-intensity playoffs.
It's no different than dancing on the tip of a knife.
Because once he fails, Chen Hao's efforts and sacrifices in his rookie season will be in vain.
Fortunately, the new version of the Thunder has withstood the test and performed well.
This made the little old Jewish man look at him with suspicion.
This is the kind of superstar that the league should support!
They all took the initiative to take action, so how could Gao Xuchao in the story still be able to pull him off!
Visible to the naked eye, the Thunder's popularity has skyrocketed.
The Thunder, which took less than a year to rebuild the team, shined in the postseason with their dark horse talent.
Especially after the second game of the series, Nowitzki said in an interview: "It's not that the Mavericks are weak, but that the Thunder are too strong. If you don't believe me, come up and try it yourself."
As soon as these words came out,
This makes the Thunder team, which was beyond the expectations of fans, even more attractive.
Without him, just because Nowitzki's performance in two consecutive games was outstanding enough.
Such comments from a player who averaged 35.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game make people feel even more powerful about the Thunder.
Just when Nowitzki made such remarks, the Mavericks locker room was also blocked by two consecutive losses.
Josh Howard, who failed to perform accurately in the playoffs last season, encountered Tony Allen's defense again this season, which made him feel depressed.
Nowitzki's praise of the Thunder after the game was tantamount to a public surrender in the eyes of his "undisciplined" character.
This also led to a quarrel in the locker room. Josh Howard, who accused Nowitzki in front of everyone, almost got into a fight with Dampier, who had an equally fiery personality.
Fortunately, the news was blocked quickly by Carlisle, so that the entire league would not laugh.
"Either you talk with the ball on the court, or you shut up!"
"What kind of man is he who can only shirk responsibility after the game?"
Carlisle's roar not only calmed the conflicts in the locker room, but also gave the Mavericks players a bowl of chicken soup.
In the third playoff game, it was clearly effective.
At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks were all on board, and they launched one violent offensive wave after another.
For a moment, the Thunder team's defensive iron barrel formation was torn apart.
You know, whether the offensive ability is good or not sometimes has to be interfered by off-field factors such as shooting feel and physical condition. But defensive ability, if you have it, you have it, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it.
Therefore, the Mavericks' offense can tear through the Thunder's defense, which shows that tonight's style is smooth and the energy is high.
Tony Allen was beaten several times by Kibu Gong and Josh Howard.
Although Randolph is still active, Nowitzki's strength is no longer at a loss when being defended by such a short and stocky monster in the past two years.
He still carries the team's most ferocious firepower output.
But if we talk about the best performance in this game, it has to be Terry, who won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year this year.
There was little room for performance in the first game, and he was mentioned as a starter in the second game, which also restricted his performance.
In the third game, Terry, who returned to the bench and had room to play, finally broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.
With the energetic little man JJ Barea and the hard-working Brayden Bass, he played an offensive performance that was not inferior to the main team during his time on the bench.
It's a pity that such a score-scoring performance still failed to widen the point difference.
Because the Thunder also have a super sixth man on the bench - Crawford.
With the ball in hand, Crawford, who had unlimited firepower during the substitute time, held down Terry and the other three by himself.
Three-pointers, breakthroughs, and signature behind-the-back throws, Crawford's offensive talent is unleashed. He is not very good at defense, but if you can score a few points on him, he can return the score.
That is to say, Crawford's outstanding performance gave the Thunder a chance to breathe and adjust.
After playing again in the second half, the Thunder no longer gave the Mavericks any hope of victory.
The Thunder, which was never at a disadvantage against the Bulls, once again strengthened its defense. As expected, the Mavericks misfired again.
There were even problems on the defensive end.
In a row, Josh Howard and Nowitzki's Chen Hao beat everyone without distinction.
Chen Chen’s solid mid-range jump shot, his air-cutting and reverse-running pull-bar layup, his gorgeous steps for singles breakthrough...
When the opponent explodes, that is the meaning of the existence of a player of Chen Guo's level.
A final word, forcibly reversing the situation,
Chen Hao's scoring performance was like a shooting star, which surprised countless fans.
What the hell,
He's so comfortable in the playoffs, just hiding it!
How come Chen Hao’s score reached twenty points even though he didn’t feel anything?!
yes,
The Mavericks' defensive ability this season has been enhanced after the arrival of Carlisle.
But the Mavericks made the mistake of "wanting both."
Not only the defensive ability, but also due to the genetic influence of the team's consistent team building, has not been upgraded to a strong level. Now even the strong offensive ability in the past has been lost.
The arrival of Jibu Gong provides a more organized organizational connection, but Jibu Gong, whose physical fitness has seriously declined, simply cannot keep up with his opponents.
Wright and Josh Howard have outstanding physical fitness and excellent defensive ability, but their offensive ability has been weakened a lot. What's more, their defense is really difficult against Chen Hao, who has abnormal offensive ability. Not on the same level.
Interior defensive specialist Dampier?
While CCTV was replaying Chen Hao's fast break, stepping into the free throw line and knocking over Dampier's dunk in the air, he chanted: 'Goodbye boy with full bow! 1
Well... Dampier, who is known as the league's number one center, doesn't know his statistics, but he is definitely averaging one dunk and one block per game.
In Chen Hao's small test, Pangjie was older and laid the foundation for Bisse's victory.
As soon as he came on the court in the fourth quarter, Chen Hao used his magical powers, and the Thunder started running without the ball to cover the game again. Durant and Randolph used their left and right shots to take away the game.
With a balanced offense and defense, and excellent offense and defense, the Thunder team is what the Mavericks dreamed of. In terms of comprehensive strength, they crushed the Mavericks into scum.
Win another victory,
With a big score of 3:0, the Thunder reached the match point.
When the series reaches this score, the outcome of this series has been decided.
A winner has emerged, too.
There is no doubt that after the fourth game, the Mavericks, whose mentality had collapsed, were swept out by the Thunder 4:0!
In this fourth game in Dallas, they couldn't even muster the courage to fight back.
The Thunder's invincible victory over their opponents by 16 points once again broke fans' imagination of the Thunder's strength!
The Zijin Lakers, who were also the first to qualify early, took a look at this situation:
"Oops, this is coming for me?!"
