Chapter 755 755 We need a deal!
As the Bucks once again fell to the Thunder's feet, many fans confirmed a fact.
It may be true that the Thunder have been up and down, and it may be true that Durant is tougher at home, but...
Only Zhou Si wants to win, and the chances of other teams are still very slim!
Sometimes hopelessness is more desperation than constant disappointment.
After defeating the Bucks, the Thunder continued to triumph in the last month of 2018!
Originally thought that it would be difficult for Zhou Si to win the championship this season after a meal during the offseason, but looking at it now, he is the most likely to win the championship!
However, the Thunder are not completely invincible. In mid-December, they almost lost the game against the Bulls again!
To be honest, Zhou Si didn't hold back from the beginning of this game, but the Bulls are in really good shape this season, especially Rose, who directly scored 8 three-pointers in this game and scored 46 points!
Almost, once again led the Bulls to overthrow the Thunder and complete the season sweep of the Thunder.
Moreover, since scoring 60 points in that game, Rose seems to have been opened up to the second line of Ren and Du, and his offensive spirit is wide open.
Especially his three-pointers have become extremely accurate.
With a 49.8% three-point shooting this season, Rose has now surpassed Curry to lead all guards in the league in three-point shooting.
In the eyes of many fans, this is even more surprising than Rose scoring 60 points!
For example, if one day, seeing players like Rondo or Westbrook continue to hit this kind of shooting percentage, it would be surprising for fans not to be surprised.
However, Zhou Si, who had been paying attention to this, was not so surprised.
In Zhou Si's view, this is actually related to the change of the Bulls' team building strategy.
With a swarm of scorers helping Rose draw the floor, his shots are much easier.
Moreover, Rose has been practicing three-pointers by himself.
Although he is not interested in three-pointers, as long as he can win the championship, he is willing to do anything!
Moreover, many of Rose's three-pointers this season were not fixed-points, but emergency stop three-pointers.
And the hit rate is as high as 47%.
This means that Rose's threat has greatly increased when holding the ball!
Rose, who can make three-pointers and has not yet experienced a serious injury, will obviously continue to lead the Bulls all the way in the new season.
Then, in the Christmas game, the Thunder were also adjusted.
The most topical game at the most critical moment.
In this year's Christmas game, the opponent Xiao Hua arranged for Zhou Si is the Cavaliers who formed a super double-forward lineup this offseason.
James + Xiaoka!
This striker lineup is really a crime!
One is good at attacking and the other is good at defending!
The two are a perfect match!
Moreover, Irving's departure made Lao Zhan understand a truth.
Today's young people don't take the "future is yours" thing anymore.
What they care more about is now!
Therefore, in the regular season, James, like Wade back then, began to change his position, and tried his best to help Leonard adapt to the Cavaliers.
James knows very well that the Cavaliers may still be able to kill the Quartet in the playoffs with him alone, but it is really too difficult to win the cup.
For Cleveland's first championship, for his future plans, these necessary sacrifices are nothing.
Moreover, in the regular season, he already likes to paddle, so let Xiaoka have more opportunities to perform.
Xiaoka is also awesome, often attacking and defending, and played the best season of his career!
What's more, his backing made many helpers find their homes.
"Xiaoka is unstoppable!"
"Support the young gang to win the MVP and the best defensive player of the year."
"Xiaoka is too strong, once the game is broadcast live nationwide, it will be exciting!"
"Kawhi is a top-3 player in the league."
"Leonard is already in the MVP category."
"This dude can easily score more than 30 points, but he doesn't play very hard against average teams.
He is just that strong.
He's the best candidate for Defensive Player of the Year outside of Zhou.
If he can be as dominant against the average team as the ace of other teams, then he can also be the MVP.
Of course...that's without considering the week! "
"Then the question is, "Can Kawhi guard Zhou? ""
……
On Christmas Eve, fans will have to wait a little longer on whether Kawhi can guard Zhou Si, because Zhou Si did not play.
After learning that Ye Qin was not feeling well, Zhou Si immediately asked for leave and left the team.
The Thunder management and coaching staff naturally gave the green light.
Not to mention missing the Christmas game, it doesn't matter even if Zhou Si asks for leave and misses the next regular season.
They really have great confidence in Zhou Si's ability to maintain his form.
Closer to home, although Zhou Si is absent, it is not easy for the Cavaliers to win this game!
The two sides started the first quarter in the same state. Compared with the Cavaliers' more blooming offense in the second half, the Thunder relied more on Durant. KD scored 10 points in the final part of the away game to help the Thunder tie the score and end the first quarter.
KD, who left the home court, is still the killing god with a sickle in his hand!
In the second quarter, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers soon took a 10-point lead and took the initiative.
The Thunder can only continue to replace Durant.
Although Melon is also very sweet tonight, KD is more worthy of relying on the offensive end.
It was the final stage again. In 4 minutes, facing Kawhi's defense, Durant continued to score 11 points in a row to help the Thunder bite the point difference and not let the score be further expanded.
After halftime, the Cavaliers led the Thunder 60-52.
After changing sides, James and Kaka continued to work hard on the Cavaliers side, relying on a 12-3 offensive to establish a 15-point lead in the final quarter.
Durant's consecutive scoring helped the Thunder continue to retain hope, but Kawaii turned over and hit back jumpers at the last moment, killing the game.
In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Thunder 124 to 115 to win the Christmas game.
骑士队那边詹姆斯24分7板12助，卡哇伊35分11板4断！
雷霆队这边杜兰特狂揽47分8板4助，甜瓜砍下21分8板。
Although they lost, the fans of the Thunder were not too discouraged. After all, the Demon God didn't play.
But the Cavaliers don't care, a win is a win, no matter who you miss!
"The Cavaliers are awesome! I'm the MVP!"
"I, Zhan, attack the real axis, it's great!"
"I think I need to take my hat off to the Thunder. Durant is like a killer offensively, and Melo didn't pull his hips."
"The Thunder look good. As a Rockets fan, I'm happy to see both teams firing on all cylinders. Durant is a real beast on both ends of the floor."
"As a Thunder fan, I think we need a trade in the mid-term.
Our defense is enough, but the offense is really stretched.
Whether it's getting one from the D-League or a trade, we're going to need some pitchers.
That way, we'll be even harder to stop! "
