254 Arrangement Of Troops (1/5)

Chapter 254 Arrangement of troops (15)

When he discussed with Budenholzer before, the main tactical idea was how to increase the offensive success rate of positional warfare.

The higher the success rate of positional warfare, the fewer opportunities for the Thunder to play defensive counterattacks.

This is a correct way of thinking.

But what Tang Tian said was another way of thinking, and it can be said to be a more effective way of thinking in comparison.

If you want to hurry up, I will not let you get better soon.

You are young, so are my three wings!

And regardless of offense, if you fight defense, you won't lose at all.

"The weakness of this lineup is positional warfare. I think Tony and Tim can be chosen to start." Tang Tian then added.

Popovich couldn't help coughing twice at this time.

It seemed that Tang Tian had said everything.

He has nothing to say!

Parker + Green + Tang Tian + Leonard + Duncan.

Parker's organizational ability is not weaker than Ginobili's, and Duncan's coping ability is not inferior to Dior's.

This lineup can be said to be an upgraded version of the three-wing lineup that played against the Clippers.

And considering that the Thunder doesn't have the ability to attack autonomously inside, there won't be any major problems on the defensive end.

Although I don't want to admit that my thinking can't keep up with a rookie, Tang Tian's suggestion is indeed very good.

"You guys make me feel really old."

Popovich is not Cajon, he has no stubborn thoughts at all, and he just said with a self-deprecating smile.

"At most, you will think about the next game, old man, and this three-wing lineup is also your idea."

Tang Tian had a wave of business bragging.

Popovich couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Tang Tian really doesn't look like a 20-year-old.

After chatting for a few more words, when Tang Tian left, he called Budenholzer back.

The two of them perfected the tactics overnight.

In the training session the next day, he directly moved the new tactical thinking to the team training session.

It seems that the starting lineup is only adjusted by one person, but the tactical thinking is completely different, so training is a must.

Fortunately, the players are no strangers to Juche's tactical thinking, and they adapt quickly.

After two days, I basically mastered it well.

"Don't let the hard work of the first two games go to waste, I'm watching you."

At the end of the last training session before the game, Popovich said seriously to the players.

The next game is very critical for both sides.

The Thunder won by a total score of 2 to 2, and everything was back to square one.

If the Spurs win, the big score will come to 3 to 1, which will directly come to their match point.

This will directly determine the trend of the entire series.

It wasn't just Popovich who was serious. In the Spurs locker room before the game, even Ginobili didn't say any more sarcasm.

The Pisacek Energy Arena is already full of seats.

Winning the last game gave the Oklahoma City fans a boost of confidence.

TNT's Big Three also appeared on the sidelines in this game.

Compared with the hand-to-hand combat between the Eastern Heat and those old guys, this side is obviously more interesting.

"Shaq, who do you want to win this game?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Hope? Of course I want the Thunder to win, not because I'm a fan of them, but because I want this series to be longer."

"In this way, you can get more money for commenting on a few games?" Barkley said immediately from the side.

"Don't explain, Shaq, I know you're retired now, and you're no longer a rich man." Before O'Neal could answer, he immediately said again.

Barkley's words amused both O'Neill and Smith.

This is very Barkley, always find some absurd entry point.

"I hope the Spurs can win." Smith expressed his point of view at this time.

"It's not because I'm the godfather's nephew." Smith and Barkley had been hanging around for a long time, and now they had learned to steal words.

Buckley froze for a moment, then couldn't help but spread his hands and laughed.

"If the Thunder win this game, the series will stretch to 6 or even 7 games. For an older team like the Spurs, that is not a good thing."

After all, Smith is the most serious of the three. When he said this, Barkley and O'Neill nodded in unison.

In fact, looking through the playoffs in the past two years, this is indeed a problem for the Spurs.

After the average age rises, as long as they are dragged into a tug-of-war, it will be difficult for them to win in the end.

This is also one of the reasons why they haven't reached the finals for a long time.

In other words, this game may be more critical to the Spurs than most people think.

The pre-match warm-up is over, and the scene enters the opening ceremony.

The Spurs' starter was introduced first.

When the new starting lineup came out, Brooks on the Thunder team was caught off guard for a while, and the big three in the commentary were also surprised.

"They don't have a center in the lineup, it's a small lineup." Smith hit the nail on the head.

"Is Popovich stealing from Spoelstra next door?" Barkley joked with a smile.

"Maybe they have already started to prepare for the Heat." O'Neill took the words.

No one guessed the true intentions of the Spurs for the first time.

However, the Spurs made adjustments to their starting lineup, and the Thunder also made adjustments on the other side.

Harden, replacing Sefolosha, entered the starting lineup!

"Oh, this game is really interesting!" O'Neill couldn't help shouting after seeing the Thunder's starting lineup.

"Yes, it seems that Brooks doesn't want ink, but wants to finish the game right at the beginning!" Smith nodded in agreement.

The four young players are going to play together, this is to start the game, not to give the Spurs too many opportunities.

And it's also a kind of physical strength in disguise.

Youth is capital!

The starting lineups of both sides have been adjusted, which made the fans' emotions even higher.

This is an intensity that could have been foreseen before it even started.

Tang Tian was not too surprised to see the Thunder's starting lineup.

When the Thunder opened the score in the last game by relying on the presence of the four young players, Brooks' adjustment is reasonable.

But in this way, it will be good for the Spurs.

Thunder Four started, as if the opponent showed the sharpest blade at the beginning.

But as long as its initial sharpness is blocked, the sword will become weaker and weaker.

Ibaka jumped and beat Duncan, kicking off the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals.

Durant hit a mid-range pass from Harden in the frontcourt.

The Thunder are looking pretty good.

"Defense! Defense!"

The fans at the scene were also extremely excited. They cheered and cheered in unison at the beginning of the game, which directly promoted the atmosphere of the game.

The Thunder's defensive intensity on the court is very strong. Leonard's breakthrough layup was interfered by Ibaka and failed to score.

Ibaka took advantage of the opportunity to grab the defensive rebound, and Harden and Westbrook were already down immediately.

However, Ibaka's ball failed to pass.

Green and Westbrook, Tang Tian and Harden, Leonard delayed Durant.

The Spurs' three-wing lineup directly cut off all Ibaka's forward passing routes!
