Chapter 278 Changes!
In a certain arena, several figures were sitting next to the basketball hoop panting, "It's almost there, we can win tonight!" Durant said after taking a sip of water.
"Yeah, no matter who we score one more goal, the outcome of the game changes," Westbrook said.
"Practice for half an hour and leave," Ibaka said, getting up.
"Yeah!" Several people started training again!
·············
On the second day, the game between the Hornets and the Thunder aroused discussions among various "experts" and players!
Some praised the game itself: "The Thunder and the Hornets are the two best teams in the Western Conference! The match between them is truly the finals!"
"Whoever can break out of the West will be the champion!"
"Who could have imagined that what Presti said on draft night in 2008 could become a reality?"
There are also those who analyze the team: "The Hornets will eventually defeat the Thunder! There is no other reason, just because of Presti!"
"I think the Thunder will rush out of the West. The talent of the Thunder players is obviously better! Obviously the talent of the players is more important than tactics!"
"The talents of the Hornets players are equally outstanding, even if they are not as good as the Thunder, the gap is not big, and the Hornets players play well in the system designed by Presti!"
·······
Hornets Arena, Kerr looked at Presti and said: "Next game, I think the Thunder will definitely take a strategy to target Curry"
Presti smiled and said, "Brooks must have been thinking of a way!"
Cole asked, "What do you think they'll do?"
"Who knows?" Presti smiled, and then said to himself: "No matter what they do, the Hornets will definitely win!"
········
On the evening of June 6, the New Orleans Arena was full of people, and soon the second game of the series between the Hornets and the Thunder will begin!
"Haha, why is it so long for two days, I'm going crazy!" David Wesley laughed.
And Barkley also said with a smile: "These days I watched the video of a game every day, it was so exciting!"
"Who do you think will win this game?" David Wesley asked.
"Hornets!" Barkley said without hesitation,
David Wesley frowned and said, "After your prediction, why do I feel that the Hornets will lose tonight?"
"Haha, it's impossible." Barkley gave a reassuring look.
······
In the Hornets locker room, the players looked at Presti with confidence. Since the victory in the last game, the players have been looking forward to the next game all the time, especially the rookies!What a yearning to win the championship as the core in the first year!
Presti said very seriously: "I said at the press conference that I am not satisfied with your performance is not joking, but serious!"
Immediately, a voice of doubt came from below, and Presti continued: "Although you have no obvious omissions on the defensive end, there have been many times when you have been attracted by the ball end, resulting in many rounds of missed defense! Today I don't want to make this mistake again!"
"Yeah!" The players immediately responded.
"Today, it's still a home game. We must win to ensure our home court advantage! We must win!" Presti stretched out his hand and shouted suddenly.
The players immediately formed a circle, everyone stretched out their hands and shouted: "We must win!!"
···········
In the Thunder locker room, Brooks said: "We must win tonight. Once we win, the initiative will be in our hands! Because we will have home court advantage! Our Thunder's home court is a nightmare for the entire league!"
"Well" the players nodded almost at the same time, while Westbrook, Durant and others clenched their fists!
Brooks went on to say: "Tonight we will defend one, Westbrook, Curry will give it to you! Durant, Paul George will give it to you! These two are the Hornets' engine, especially Curry! If you pinch these two, we will win!"
"Well," Westbrook and Durant said firmly.
"Let's go!"
·······
The moment the players from both sides appeared on the field, the entire arena erupted again!
And the commentator was also very excited, David Wesley: "Come out, come out, the game is about to start!"
"Look at the eyes of the players on both sides. They are full of murderous intent and determination to win. Tonight's game will be very intense!" Barkley said excitedly.
Thunder fans: "Come on! Come on! Win the game!"
Thunder fans: "The last game was only 2 points short, this game is not demanding, just win by one point!"
Thunder fans: "Pu Shen! Pu Da! Let the water go!"
Hornets fans: "Go all out and win the game!"
Hornets fans: "Curry! I want to see your ultra-long three-pointer!"
Hornets fans: "Presti goes to Oklahoma with a win!"
Clippers fans: "Get started, can't wait!"
Lakers fans: "It's so annoying. A Thunder led by Presti over us, and a Hornets who are currently eliminating us. No one wants to support!!"
Lakers fans: "Let them play 7 games and win the championship!!"
········
When the opening ceremony of the game at home was over, Presti went to the technical stage to shake hands with Brooks again!
"Tonight we will return to Oklahoma with a victory!" Brooks said suddenly confidently.
"Same, we will go to Oklahoma with victory" Presti laughed.
·····
A few minutes later, the players walked towards the midfield!
The jump ball begins!
Hornets starters: Curry, Thompson, Paul George, David West, Whiteside
Thunder starting: Westbrook, Wesley Matthews, Durant, Ibaka, Jordan!
Once again Jordan wins! , Dial the ball to Westbrook!
"The Thunder have changed, and Wesley Matthews has been replaced at the 2nd position. What do you think?" David Wesley looked at Barkley and asked.
Barkley said: "I don't think it will improve the overall strength much, and Matthews is just a better substitute!"
And Presti was stunned, and said to Cole next to him: "Why didn't you tell me that Matthews was promoted to the starting lineup!"
"It doesn't matter. I watched Matthews's game. Although you chose it, I think it is average. At most, it has improved the Thunder's offensive firepower a little," Cole wondered.
Presti shook his head and said: "That's because Matthews played less time, and many people didn't see it. Matthews is a very good player. The Thunder promoted him to the starting lineup, which not only increased the offensive firepower, but more importantly, greatly improved the Thunder's defensive ability!"
Presti just finished speaking
Matthews caught the ball and went straight to the frame!
In the confrontation, score the ball!
In turn, Curry hands the ball to Thompson, who misses the dribble in front of Matthews! !
Matthews steals!
One-stop dunk!
Beep!Presti immediately called a timeout!
