The fourth game will not change the time because of the Thunder's locker room problem. After being questioned by reporters in the afternoon, Kevin Durant, who did not say a word, still appeared with the team in the Thunder's home arena, Ford Center Arena.
And a very interesting thing happened today. In the past, Russell Westbrook was the first to play, and Kevin Durant was the last to play. These two players represent the Thunder. The core players, and every time they play, the Thunder fans will be full of cheers.
Tonight, the Thunder team will naturally not change their playing order. It is very simple. If you change the home order at this time, it is a real hammer. There is a big problem in the Thunder locker room, and Kevin Durant did released that stuff, but Kevin Durant didn't admit it,
Therefore, as the management of the Thunder, Kevin Durant is in the third year of his five-year contract, and after the Thunder expressed their determination to renew the contract, they terminated the relationship with Kevin Durant early in the fourth year. Rand's rookie contract was changed to a five-year contract directly in the 10-11 season. For them, Kevin Durant is their real future.
But the fans in the Ford Center Arena didn't give Kevin Durant this face. The performance of Kevin Durant in these three games really disappointed them.But they still haven't given up on supporting their team's boss, because they believe that Kevin Durant will still find his form, and before that, Russell Westbrook's performance yesterday was even more impressive. They see a glimmer of hope.
As soon as the news came out, the silence in the interview undoubtedly represented something, and they expressed extreme resentment for what happened to Kevin Durant under such a good opportunity, and this Some of the resentment undoubtedly shifted in this opening welcome ceremony. Of all the players, Kevin Durant received the least applause, the exact opposite of before.
This awkwardness is not only reflected in the welcome ceremony, but also in the game.The Thunder got the chance to attack first, and Russell Westbrook is undoubtedly a player who is very victorious and professional. It should be, most of the players are like this. They are still actively running tactics, ready to give Kevin Durant creates a nice position.
The problem is that Kevin Durant's own mentality has a problem. The first pick-and-roll Serge Ibaka was directly spared by Anson, and then Serge Ibaka immediately wanted to help Kevin Durant. Rand makes a second reverse pick-and-roll.
This is a very normal thing, because the quality of Serge Ibaka's pick-and-roll is only average, and An Sheng's speed around the pick-and-roll is notoriously fast in the entire league. Very efficient approach.
But Kevin Durant didn't run, yes, he didn't run, he gave up, and that caused the Thunder's first turnover in the opening game. Come on, the first point scored directly at the Ford Center was a one-handed dunk.This dunk was a huge blow to the Thunder, whose morale was already low at home.
At this time, the Thunder fans booed very dissatisfied with Kevin Durant, who had caused conflicts in the locker room and performed poorly in the game. This should not be what he showed when he fell behind 1:2 status.The game was lost, but the Thunder fans didn't want to lose the game so uselessly. He needed the team to show resistance.
Obviously, Kevin Durant didn't think of this, and he was still confused on the offensive end. Russell Westbrook tried to pick and roll with him but failed to complete the pick-and-roll. , This pick-and-roll not only failed to block Chris Paul who was originally defending Russell Westbrook, but instead put Russell Westbrook into a double-team situation.
Chris Paul's arm was drawn behind Russell Westbrook, forming a steal very easily. Under the double-teaming of two steals, despite Russell Westbrook's superb ability , and absolutely did not expect Kevin Durant to let Chris Paul go around behind him like this.
Two consecutive steals led to a 6-0 spurt, and the Thunder collapsed on their home court as soon as the game started, until Scott Brooks reacted and called their first During the timeout, the score had become 16:5, and in just 3 minutes, they allowed the Clippers to score 14 points. In 48 minutes of a normal game, would the Clippers have to score 200 points?This has a lot to do with the Thunder making 3 turnovers in 4 minutes, and Kevin Durant accounted for three of them!
"Kevin is very problematic. His performance is said to be the worst among the five starters of the Thunder. Not one of them. He feels more of a negative influence on the court now!" Charles Barkley frowned. This game is very dissatisfied. Indeed, he is a fan of the Clippers, but he doesn't want the Clippers to win like this. How does this show the strength of the Clippers?
"It is indeed a negative impact. It is even more exaggerated than the performance of Kendrick, who is only responsible for running back and forth on the court." Shaquille O'Neal looked at Kendrick Perkins, who was similar to himself, completely running back and forth on the court. There is even a little pity.
An Sheng even found Kevin Durant's defense indefinitely in these 3 minutes. From every angle, every posture, and every direction, he was completely looking for Kevin Durant to destroy his self-confidence .
In the final analysis, the Thunder team relies on the iron triangle of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka. Vin Durant's influence on the Thunder is the most important. It is impossible for Russell Westbrook to be a god in every game.Knocking Kevin Durant to the brink is tantamount to the Thunder's crash.
The Thunder fans at the All-Ford Center are now full of despair. They don't know what they should do to change the state of the team. They want to cheer for Kevin Durant, but they don't know how to say it. An insult to other players who were attacked by Kevin Durant.
