346. Change
In the fourth game of the finals to be held on June 18, it will undoubtedly become the back-to-back battle of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who will play away. If the Oklahomans still fail in this battle, they will undoubtedly fall into a desperate situation that will never be restored.
If the Cavaliers were behind 1:3 in the finals, and the Cleveland Cavaliers were also a highly morale Cleveland Cavaliers, especially now that they are still in other people's territory, the Oklahoma City Thunder will naturally be in danger.
So they were fighting against each other on the 18th. Apart from giving their all-out efforts than the third game, they had no other better way. However, even though the Oklahoma City Thunder did not feel desperate for the next game or wanted to give up the game because of the defeat in the previous two games, they were desperate for the next game or wanted to give up the game, but the problem now is not with them themselves, but with their current opponents.
There is no doubt that nowadays, the Oklahoma City Thunder wants to win, but it is not just like the first game. It only takes its own outstanding performance. They also depend on how the Cavaliers perform. For example, if Wu Dawei once again scores a five-double data...
All of this is an lingering shadow, and it is precisely because of the composition of these shadows that the Oklahoma City Thunder is now so passive. The Oklahomans are of course nervous about the next unknown game.
However, all the Oklahoma City Thunder players are also very clear that there is not much retreat left. The Cleveland Cavaliers' pressing step by step makes them feel a little breathless.
Such an aggressive situation has brought about a drastic change in the situation in the entire finals. Naturally, it will also cause some changes in attitude and psychology of the young players of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In fact, if we talk about the status of the Oklahoma City Thunder players, their performance in the second game is not much different from the first game. The biggest difference is not them. It lies in their opponent Cleveland Cavaliers.
If Wu Dawei hadn't performed like a rampage in the second game, the Thunder might not have lost the game at home. After all, before that, they were far higher than the Cleveland Cavaliers in terms of fighting spirit and momentum.
As for the third game, the Oklahoma City Thunder did not perform as well as the Cleveland Cavaliers. In particular, Dwight Howard has also become a difficult problem for the Oklahomas.
However, as the team's head coach, Brooks's most personal feeling is that the team lost the third game in a mess, and it is because Wu Dawei's performance in the second game, which caused the young Oklahoma City Thunder players to suffer a huge psychological impact!
This is the biggest reason. From the beginning of the game, the state of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who are the core of the team, was worrying. The two of them played a little in the game, which disappointed Brooks very much.
And when the third game was lost naturally, Brooks saw the sad and frustrated side of the two young men in the locker room, so Brooks felt that if the team wanted to make a change in the next fourth game.
Then this is not just a problem on the basketball court. He needs to talk to several team cores in person. This is what Brooks thought before the fourth game on June 18. Because he felt that if the players cannot change psychologically, even if he can conduct in-depth research and arrangement of a series of tactics against the Cleveland Cavaliers, it will be in vain.
Because now, some players in the Oklahoma City Thunder have become psychologically afraid of Wu Dawei. This mentality is very bad for the team in the next game. After all, Wu Dawei will always be their opponents in the future, unless they become players of the same team. Otherwise, many people in the Thunder will still have to be opponents with Wu Dawei for many years.
Even if it is not for this finals, for their future, Brooks knows that he must talk to the players.
So the day before the game started, the Oklahoma City Thunder conducted restorative training as usual. Brooks did not say more in this training class when he performed in the last game. The training began as usual and ended as usual, not unlike before.
Such a situation makes the reporters who come to the training hall to follow the filming seem somewhat disappointing. Of course, they have something they want to see. After the Thunder lost the third game, the outside world admitted that the Cavaliers had basically booked the championship of this season. At this time, everyone wanted to know what the Oklahoma City Thunder was in the state, or what they would think about it.
No one would believe that the Oklahoma City Thunder would remain indifferent, so this morning this season did not seem to be any different training session, which naturally disappointed the reporters.
When Brooks, as the head coach, announced his disbandment, many reporters left the game. However, some of them did not leave the game. Darnell Marbran, a reporter from the Oklahoma People, was one of them. Because before that, he received internal news that head coach Brooks would talk to several core players after the training this morning.
At this time, the conversation was almost about to be revealed. It must be about the ongoing finals. If you talk more closely, it is very likely about their own state. Anyone can see that everything Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook showed in the third game was not very normal.
One of them scored 22 points in this game and the other scored only 18 points. The performance of the two of them with a combined 40 points cannot be considered too bad, but compared with their previous performance, they were no longer able to get along.
As a Thunder team reporter, Marbury certainly understands that now and the time when the Oklahoma City Thunder is alive. After having such a wonderful season, who would be willing to face such a bleak ending?!
Especially after the first game, the Oklahoma City Thunder was in a good situation, but it was inexplicably trapped in a passive or even desperate situation.
Even as a rival, Darnell Marbury didn't say anything, but in his heart, he still felt a sense of awe for Wu Dawei. Especially after the second game, he witnessed the birth of five pairs in that game, but obviously he would not be as excited as a person who loves to watch the fun, and would be excited to talk about this with an incredible expression.
Because he is also a fan of the Thunder, he naturally knows how huge this will be to the team. In the finals, the game that focused on the world's attention, it became a footnote and supporting role for the opponent to shine in historical moments! And more importantly, at that time, it was the time when the Oklahoma was the most proud. After winning the first game, the Oklahoma people felt proud, because before that everyone thought the Cavaliers were the stronger team.
But the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Cavaliers in the first game. How could this not make the Oklahoma people feel excited? Naturally, it is understandable to be complacent. But the mistake is that the Oklahoma people have not been happy for long, and Wu Dawei slapped all the Oklahoma people in the face of laughing...
It is conceivable how painful this slap will be. So even Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook performed so badly in the third game. Darnell Marbury is somewhat understandable, especially because they are still so young.
With such a huge blow, maybe even Kobe would be lost in his mind, let alone that they are just a group of young boys in their early twenties...
What they need at this time is not blame. Darnell Marbury understands this very well, so when the third game ended, the outside world praised the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei, and at the same time belittled a group of young players such as Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Darnell Marbury was still talking to the team.
Because he knew that young people needed tolerance, and in Marbury's view, even such a superstar Wu Dawei was known as the league's number one player for many years, and what about Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook who were more senior?
After three games in the finals, even if the Oklahomans are unwilling to admit that they must admit that Wu Dawei is a better player than Kevin Durant, at least in this series. Just one five-double data is enough to make Wu Dawei stand out.
However, admitting that Wu Dawei is a better player will not be an excuse for the Oklahoma City Thunder to face failure. Although there is such an outstanding player in the Cavaliers, the Oklahoma City Thunder will still compete in the next game.
Even though the current situation has become very bad for them, they still have at least two chances to play, which is their last chance.
