Fans and the media have already known about that result, and no one is surprised. Many people feel that Durant is a pity. After all, it is not due to personal statistics and team leadership record, but because of political correctness outside the court, he feels like being beaten. a feeling of.
Durant himself didn't care, and kept shooting and strength training as usual, and took the initiative to tweet to congratulate Rose for making history.He responded to several fans who tweeted: "I've grown up and only debate what's right."
After replying to the fans, Durant also wrote to Aite Su Yang: "It's the coach who made me more confident, #苏阳应该是年最好指南#, please support him with me, anyway, no matter what others think, he He is the best coach in my heart.”
That kind of speech made many gossip fans blaze. They speculated that it was a response to the previous TMZ rumors. They believed that it was evidence that Durant supported Su Yang as the coach.
Su Yang saw Durant's tweet and did not give any public reply, but expressed his thanks in person during training.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.
Mavericks starting, Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Perkins.
The Thunder started, Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, Chandler.
Amidst the cheers from the audience, the Mavericks won the jump ball and made the first attack against Kidd, but it was a pity that Perkins made a walking error.
Turning around, the Thunder played RAM first, and Harden used the screen to cover Westbrook, but Stevenson and Kidd cooperated very tacitly, and Perkins also stood up early to block the breakthrough route, and Westbrook had no way out for a while. , choose to pass the ball to the weak side.
Durant took the ball to find Ibaka to play a pick-and-roll, but Nowitzki did not hesitate to switch to intercept, and Marion gave priority to pinching the passing route. The sharp and bold zone defense of the Maverick duo made Durant He can only stop and hit the ground to pass the ball, which leads to slow speed and obvious movements, giving Stevenson the opportunity to double-team laterally from the weak side, making it difficult for Ibaka to make a quick shot.
In a panic, Ibaka, who had already deviated from attacking with the ball, stopped and turned around to find someone, a little dazed.
Seeing this, Su Yang thought he was going to suffer. Stopping the ball in the elbow area is a taboo in offense. No matter what you do in that area, it will be particularly obvious.
As he expected, Stevenson immediately returned to defend Harden, and Nowitzki returned to Ibaka at the same time, and the Mavericks made a perfect rotation.
The Thunder's offense stagnated, and Ibaka temporarily had no ball to pass. Seeing that the attack time was passing quickly, he suddenly released the ball and started to charge, but the referee immediately whistled and whistled him to step first and then release the ball. It is a walking position Violation, award the ball to the Mavericks.
Easy side Mavericks attack, Kidd advances along the sideline, casually passes the ball to Stevenson in the bottom corner, attracts the Thunder's defensive attention, rushes to the elbow area, suddenly stops and sets up the wall, and then reverses to screen again , and Perkins took the opportunity to cut and attack the basket.
It's a pity that Perkins was a little slower, Chandler easily kept up with the rhythm, and the Mavericks failed to make an alley-oop match with the basket from the bottom corner.
Seeing that the first attempt failed, Kidd immediately bounced out, took the ball again on the right wing, and then cooperated with Nowitzki who ran to the 45-degree three-point line in a pick-and-roll, quickly threw away Westbrook and rushed to the top of the arc. The crack passed the ball to the split inside Chenowitzki.
The cooperation was quite smooth, and there were no complicated routines. It was just that the whole Mavericks team moved and opportunities appeared one after another.
However, the Thunder's defense is also very strong. The moment Nowitzki took the ball, Harden shrunk from the bottom corner to help Ibaka return to his position. At the same time, he restricted Nowitzki from trying to pass the ball to Stevenson in the bottom corner. Chandler at the basket also shrunk and intercepted simultaneously.
But who would have thought that Nowitzki raised his left hand, kicked off the ground with one foot, and took advantage of his height to throw and hit the board.
The basketball slammed into the net.
Su Yang looked at the Mavericks' whole attack, and out of his love for basketball, he applauded sincerely. The cooperation was really strong.
Of course, most of the credit for the Mavericks' ability to play that kind of offense is Nowitzki's perfect containment on the offensive end. The big players that Niu is paired with get a lot of space under the basket, and they can also actively play pick-and-rolls with guards depending on the opportunity. Switching to an ordinary power forward is really not that cooperative.
The two teams switched offense and defense. The Thunder started with one inside and four outside. Durant took the ball with his back in the right elbow.
Harden immediately took away Stevenson who might be double-teaming after throwing the ball. Durant turned around and dribbled the ball to try, and took three steps in a row. Marion flew to block the shot and skillfully leaned back for a long two-point shot.
The basketball slammed into the net, Durant responded strongly to Nowitzki, and the fans shouted excitedly to celebrate.
The embarrassing thing is that after several consecutive attacks, Durant didn't run out of a good position, and it was more difficult to catch the ball. Westbrook and Ibaka didn't even score a single one. Relying on Westbrook's strong rush to double-team Stevenson to cause a foul, and then scored 2 point on 1 of 1 free throws, while Nowitzki played well on the Mavericks' side, and the situation became 3-10 behind.
Su Yang saw that Wei Shao was a little bit reckless, so he quickly got up and walked to the technical platform to direct on the spot.
The Thunder immediately ran a 13 match with AI CUT, and Durant got a chance at 45 degrees, and he pulled up and shot.
The three-pointer went into the net, and Nowitzki immediately returned a golden rooster with two independent points, forcibly suppressing the Thunder's momentum.
Su Yang continued to direct on the spot. Ibaka grabbed an offensive rebound after a layup and passed it to Durant for a breakthrough, which caused Marion to block the foul. He scored two points through free throws, and then strangled Kidd with local three defenses and two defenses. Cooperate with Nowitzki.
With a wave of tough and efficient offense and defense, the Thunder overtook the Mavericks 13-12, and the cheers from the Ford Center were deafening.
Perhaps because he felt it was necessary, Mavericks head coach Carlisle also walked to the technical table and stood parallel to Su Yang.
The two began to fight invisibly, and for a while, no one had an advantage, but Lei Ting firmly grasped the lead.
However, as Su Yang specially arranged for Nixon to play as a power forward, it only cost him one defensive foul. Nowitzki, who had been doing whatever he wanted before, began to find it difficult to let go of his hands and feet, which in turn lowered the Mavericks' score. efficiency.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Mavericks 27 to 20. Durant scored 13 points and only made 2 free throws.
In the second quarter, Harden led the team to attack, and formed a balanced offensive and defensive lineup with Green, Sefolosha, Jordan Jr., and Ibaka. The Thunder played well, but Harden couldn't defend Barea. Terry also carried Sefolosha and threw two three-pointers.
After halftime, the Thunder still led the Mavericks by 7 points.
The two teams came back from a break to play in the third quarter, and tacitly strengthened their defense, directly turning the game into a free throw shootout.
Durant made 9 free throws in a single quarter, plus Westbrook 5 times, and Harden 2 times, the Thunder team made 17 free throws.
But on the Mavericks side, Nowitzki alone made 13 free throws, causing the Mavericks to narrow the gap by 4 points in a single quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the tone of the two teams remained the same. The Mavericks' smooth cooperation created scoring opportunities, while the Thunder's various simple cooperation relied on talent to suppress them, maintaining the lead like a rock, and finally narrowly defeated the Mavericks 111-107.
全场比赛，杜兰特19罚18中拿到40分，诺维茨基24罚全中拿到48分。
When the final whistle sounded, the Ford Center resounded with cheers, and the Thunder players also celebrated happily on the bench.
Su Yang was not too excited. He knew that the main reason for the Mavericks' loss was that Peja and Stevenson were restricted from performing abnormally. They made 12 of 2 shots in total.
