121-119, if Thunder did not use scheming or tricks, they could have won G1

13.2 seconds before the final game, the Thunder took the lead with three points. Logically, they were invincible. But the Thunder coach wants more. He wanted to completely kill the possibility of the Nuggets' three-point tie and drag the game into overtime, so he waved his hand and used the ghostly "penalty tactic". Caruso took the initiative to apply for a foul and sent Teacher Yo to the free throw line. With two free throws, you can score at most two points, and you can't catch up with three-pointers. As long as you don't make a "stupid" game, the G1 Thunder will definitely win.

However, the young Thunder coach underestimated the change in basketball games, ignored the pressure resistance of young players under his command, and overestimated human nature. As long as you are a human being, how can you not make mistakes? As long as it is a game played by people, how can there be any "certain, certain and certain" ending? Sophomore Homgren couldn't withstand the pressure on the free throw line and lost both free throws, which completely destroyed the Thunder's "penalty tactics". In the first 9.5 seconds of the final game, Braun received the backcourt rebound, and the score difference was only 1 point. Not only did the Nuggets not lose, they saw hope of reversing and winning. Westbrook rushed to the frontcourt with great strides and passed the ball to Gordon, who was on standby from outside the three-point line. Gordon made a desperate bet and shot into the net. The Nuggets lost all night and enjoyed the dawn of victory in the last second.

Life and Death competitive sports are cruel. A nightmare-like nightmares are the tuition fees that young head coaches and young players must pay. That's right, for the Thunder who haven't played for several rounds of the playoffs, this is the series of tuition payments. In front of the Nuggets, they can experience the unprecedented intensity of confrontation and feel the battle for incoming land on the tactical board. After experiencing the baptism of the champion team, the Thunder will be like opening the door to a new world and truly feel the atmosphere of the playoffs. This atmosphere is something that the Pelicans, Grizzlies and Mavericks cannot bring to the Thunder.

Looking at the entire game of G1, the Nuggets performed poorly. Except for the teacher, almost all Nuggets players are not in shape. They failed to make three-pointers at the open space, couldn't control the ball, passed the ball everywhere, and made eye-catching mistakes one after another, and even the ending close at the basket would be "butter hands". Even if he asked the teacher, even if he scored 42 points and 22 rebounds in the whole game, what would he do in the actual game? Faced with the three "dwarfs" of the Thunder, Teacher Yo kept making mistakes and couldn't put the ball into the basket. The so-called inside dominance is nothing more than that. In fact, in the second half, the teacher was blushing and warm, and his physical fitness was in a hurry, so he could not get beaten. After experiencing seven major battles in the last round, physical fitness is the biggest disadvantage of the Nuggets.

Simply put, this is a round of back-attack and pick-and-roll three-pointer. If you ask a teacher, you can't beat the Thunder Dwarfs, then the Nuggets will be killed by the Thunder's three-pointer. In fact, throughout the G1 game, the Nuggets fell into the thunder running and bombing rhythm, and were in extreme embarrassment.

The teacher could not run away from the Thunder, and even more so could not defend against the Thunder's three-pointer. As a big center who moves slowly and needs to rely on squatting to "cover up" the ugly things, I don't know who to defend myself in this round of the series. Against Harten, he must face the Thunder's "one or five pick-and-roll" and was trained to death by Alexander's mid-range jump shot. Against the Thunder wing, I asked the teacher to take turns to defend Dort and Caruso in this game. As a result, the Thunder's space black hole found its feel during the shooting training in the large open space. Caruso made a three-pointer with 5 of 9 shots in one shot, almost becoming the number one hero for the Thunder to win. As a magical three-point team, the Thunder is nothing more than this. The bulky center forward has always been exposed to three-point fire on the defensive end, and it can't be hidden no matter how hard it is. Perhaps in the next G2, I saw the embarrassment under the high pressure of Homegren and the poor outside response from Carson Wallace, which may be able to solve the problem of defensive positioning, but at least in G1, I was in a very embarrassing defense throughout the game. Teacher Yo did not overturn the Thunder's inside line, but was shot through by a three-pointer. According to normal logic, the Nuggets could not win this game.

The Nuggets can drag the suspense of the game to the last second until the Thunder's fatal mistake comes purely by rich game experience, or rather by the teacher's perverted details.

The Thunder have been making profits from "body whistle", but today in G1, the Thunder was ruined by the "body whistle". Jaylen Williams, who has little experience, has been performing in acting since the first minute of the game and has been constantly "hitting the bullet" and asking for a whistle. As the "free throw king", Alexander must have the whistle treatment he deserves. If you encounter an ordinary team, you will definitely be "punished" by the Thunder. But the Nuggets know too much about referees, and they know how to grasp the whistle scale. Since seeing the whistle of Thunder, I asked the teacher to discuss it. First, he started by discussing the action standards with politeness, then asked the teacher to turn on the "resentful woman" mode, constantly complaining about the penalty standards, and then in the end, he yelled at the referee angrily to vent his dissatisfaction. To a certain extent, the fourth quarter teacher's elbow-striking martial arts movement was determined by the referee as a malicious foul, which can be regarded as a part of his exploration of the scale of punishment and a scheming step in the rhythm.

Above all interactions between the teacher and the referee are only for one purpose. Of course, the referee can blew a "body whistle", but the whistle treatment must be consistent. If the teacher is asked to make a foul on his body whistle, the referee must also blew it! The fourth section of Thunder was falling under the whistle of Teacher Yo.

In the last five minutes of the game's victory and loss, the exhausted teacher was actually unable to play, but the referee preparations he made before began to work. Every round, the teacher was free throws. Caruso touched the teacher a little, asked the teacher to spread his hands, and the referee immediately rewarded the teacher with two free throws. Homgren tried hard to control his hand, but he asked the teacher to forcefully "pull" on Homgren, and relied on "hitting the car" and got two free throws.. The most controversial scene in the fourth quarter was that after having a backcourt rebound, Alexander gently "hooked up" it. After two seconds of delay, he immediately reacted and lay down on the ground immediately, and got two free throws again. Free throws again and again helped Teacher Yo to overcome the physical bottleneck and help the Nuggets bite the score, so that they could finally turn the defeat into victory.

This is the game experience of the champion team. I asked the teacher to use 13 free throws throughout the game to tell the Thunder that the "body whistle" is useless in this round of series. If you want to win, you rely on your real level. Is the Thunder a team with hard strength? At the moment of life and death of decisive victory, Alexander faces a double-player encirclement, can he handle the offense well and drive the ball into the basket? In addition to "striking a car accident", Jaylen Williams will have fouls, what kind of substantial damage has been made in this game? Can Homegren, Caruso and Dort, under tremendous pressure, still respond to the open three-pointer? In G1, the Thunder did not do anything in the fourth quarter.

The Thunder are still too young, and this year is just the second playoff journey this young team has experienced. Young players need to pay tuition fees and use their time to exchange for technical and psychological maturity. Young coaches also have to pay tuition fees. Since ancient times, the playoffs have been a stage for a dignified victory or defeat. Don’t try to grasp the standards of the punishment, don’t think about the left-handed goal of the "penalty battle". If the Thunder can defend carefully, they will not lose in G1. Scheming and means are just jokes in front of champion teams that have experienced everything.
