In the fourth quarter, the Thunder set up a lineup of Harden, Matthews, Durant, Ibaka, and Collison, while Presti played Livingston, Bradley, Jimmy Butler, David West, Whiteside, Presti is very sure of one thing, even if the Thunder's athletic ability is the best in history, they can't last more than 40 minutes a game.Physical strength is crucial when the playoffs come!

The Thunder's offense still didn't have much tactical coordination. Harden singled Livingston with the ball at the top of the arc, swayed continuously, went in, encountered Matthews who was helping to defend, and continued to score outside!There is no chance, and then Durant is divided, and Jimmy Butler immediately sticks to it!
After more than ten seconds of passing, there was still no open space, and the ball returned to Durant's hands, and it was a single!The conduction just now was a waste of time for Lei Ting!It is very difficult for the Thunder to get open no matter who they are playing against in a positional battle!Unless it's a fast break!The Thunder has only one tactic in positional warfare - superstar singles!
Durant didn't go low, he knew he would be double-teamed once he got to the low post!Obviously, the Thunder's configuration on the outside is not good, and the ball will not be shot even if it is split. Durant turned to face Jimmy Butler, and went in with a change of direction!Before Whiteside pounced, he jumped up and threw it!Steady hit!

In his previous life, Ibaka faced power forwards like David West, Aldridge, and Griffin alone, and single defense was very difficult!But Ibaka's defense is indeed the top in the league. Anyone who wants to break in must have the consciousness of being interfered or hated by him!

The offensive end is fine, but the problem on the defensive end is too big!Various rotations are not in place!After the timeout is over, play resumes, and when a player comes on, beep!The whistle blew again, and the Thunder called a timeout again!
"No way, isn't this Tyronn Lue's trick?" Presti remembered that when James played in the Eastern Conference finals in his previous life, Tyronn Lue called timeouts to give James a rest. Of course, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Celtics!

Soon the second timeout ended and the game continued. Durant received the ball from the top of the arc on the right, faced Paul George and moved to the top of the arc, suddenly pulled up and threw it!There are three points!Stabilize the situation!
