Chapter 646

It didn't surprise everyone that the warriors eliminated the Nuggets. Not many people are optimistic about the Nuggets. Even thunder has always regarded warriors as their opponents in the West.

So when they finished the series against the Rockets, Donovan began to prepare for the Western Conference Finals - studying how to deal with the warriors.

For warriors, whether Donovan or Anluo, these players are too familiar! Especially in these two seasons, thunder and warriors' lineup has no big change.

However, this year's situation is not quite the same as last year.

Compared with last year, thunder's defensive ability has decreased a lot. Last year, they lost two games in the playoffs and swept the opponents in two consecutive rounds before the western finals to keep the total victory. Super defensive ability played a key role.

This year, the thunder has lost two games. The problems of these two games are just on the defensive side. Without the defensive core Robertson, the thunder cannot limit the opponent's score very well. Paul George and Grant's attack combination, against the average team will not have any problem, but on the warriors, that is a problem. If it wasn't for Green's poor performance on the offensive side, the thunder would have been even worse.

Last season, the thunder is through the infinite package to achieve the goal of limiting the warriors outside the three scorers. Robertson can pull out at any time to help Paul George, Angelo and Westbrook. Donovan didn't have the confidence to defend the whole outside attack this season. They can only limit part of it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Durant can't stop it. Fortunately, the thunder also has a very good defensive ability Paul George, can limit Durant. Relatively speaking, the effect of Thompson is better. Since entering the playoffs, the warriors lost the game, Thompson's play is not very good. Anluo's marking, plus Grant's help defense, limit a Thompson or no problem.

In addition to both sides are extremely strong outside players, both sides of the inside players play, the impact of the game is also crucial. However, this season's thunder and warriors have some problems at this point. The reimbursement of cousins, together with the departure of McKee and patruria, made the warriors' inside line very weak. Now they have only one Rooney and Bogut, who hasn't played in the NBA for a long time. There are too many things that have changed with kausins's injury. Thunder is also angry, originally their reserve in the interior is enough. The main lineup of Adams, both offensive and defensive. Cantor and Noel in the rotation lineup, one can attack, the other is good at defense. This configuration, let thunder no matter which team on, are not inferior. But now, Adams is injured. Although he is not seriously injured, after a week of training, he should be able to play. But Donovan certainly won't let Adams take the risk. Cantor and Noel are bound to take on more of the burden. As for the ability to resist, it will have to wait for the game to test.

Thunder attack end's combat effectiveness has no influence. Compared with last year, Westbrook further decentralization, not only did not reduce the thunder's offensive firepower, but also improved because the ball was concentrated on ANLO and Paul George.

Generally speaking, compared with the same period last year, the combat effectiveness of both sides has been affected. No matter who finally rushed out of the west, they couldn't directly harvest the championship like last year! There's not a single team in the East.

However, the semifinals of the Eastern Conference are not finished. It's a big fight with the bucks. It's better than the Celtics. At this time, no one can say that the two teams can finally win.

The Celtics were a bit surprising, they didn't do well in the regular season. In fact, their lineup depth is at the forefront of the league. However, if it is not twisted into a rope, it can not play its due combat effectiveness. Unexpectedly, the playoffs came out. They won game one against the bucks in game one. They are very hopeful that they will be able to knock out adeto quinbo's team. It would be interesting if it was. You know, this guy is the most likely to win this season's MVP.

As for the other two teams, raptors and 76ers played all the way to snatch seven, which was expected. After all, the strength of the two teams is equal, and there is no shortage of players who can play hard games. Leonard and the Raptors, however, are more promising. After all, a player who has played in the finals and won the fmvp is more able to play at this critical moment. The biggest problem with the 76ers is still Butler. This guy is tough enough and reliable at the critical moment, but he is not in a good temper, so he is hard to be compatible with the "two emperors".

No matter which team rushes out of the East, thunder, which wants to defend its title, is a strong enemy. Of course, this is also the thunder over the warriors this level to be able to face the problem.

In the first few days before the match, thunder all the players gathered together, under the arrangement of Donovan, carried out targeted training.

Others, such as Angelo, Westbrook and Paul George, are doing regular training. But for grant and Noel, there is more to be done. They need to get familiar with what they have to do in the game as soon as possible. Grant has been more familiar, Donovan more is to let him and Anluo these players develop a tacit understanding. As for Noel, there's more to adapt to. He and Grant's fate is similar, are temporary replacement. And his situation is more urgent, Robertson injured in the regular season, grant still has time to adapt. But Adams is injured now and Noel has to hurry.Noel adapted very quickly. Although he couldn't make up for Adams's role in the team, Noel also had his own advantages. Excellent athletic ability, coupled with the eye-catching ability to block a cap, Noel's deterrent power under the basket is even stronger than Adams by three points.

As the saying goes, defense wins the championship. Thunder is the team that has won the championship, Donovan naturally understood this truth. That's why he used Noel instead of Kant, the more powerful attacking player. What's more, thunder does not lack players who can score.

The warriors in Oakland are doing the same thing while the thunder players are training. Like Donovan, Cole is also worried about the coming Western Conference finals. No one has the determination to win!
