In the whole first quarter, both the Nuggets and the Thunder fell into more singles, among which the Thunder were forced to play singles, while the Nuggets were routinely operated.

However, Durant's touch has obviously improved in this game, and at least he seems less nervous than the previous game.

Especially after experiencing Yang Fan’s personal guidance yesterday, Durant discovered that the playoffs are no big deal.

If it weren't for the defensive intensity of both sides' efforts, then there wasn't much difference from the regular season.

The main thing is mentality, and you must adjust your mentality during the game.

With the fight between the two teams, under this defensive intensity, even the Thunder, which has always been mainly offensive, will not gain much advantage for a while.

As Yang Fan and George Carl make adjustments to the lineup one after another, JR Smith's appearance undoubtedly made Yang Fan's heart rise again.

After all, JR Smith's unreasonable offensive attack in the last game was still vivid in Yang Fan's mind until now.

Yang Fan was afraid that Smith would not recognize his relatives when he blew the wind.

Fortunately, after JR Smith came on the court, Yang Fan found that the JR of this game was no longer as hot as before.

Basically, it has returned to its own average level, and if so, then JR Smith's threat can be said to have plummeted.

Although JR's offensive firepower is very sufficient on weekdays, for Yang Fan, as long as he is still an individual...

Under the fierce personal confrontation between the players of both sides, the Nuggets obviously had a sense of strength in their hearts in this game, and the physical confrontation throughout the whole process was very good.

Yang Fan even frowned and shouted at the referee for a foul.

It’s just a pity that the referee pretended that Yang Fan didn’t hear him, as if he had agreed to this action.

This scene obviously made Yang Fan even more dissatisfied. Even in this era, it is relatively normal to have a bigger defensive move.

But in Yang Fan's opinion, the Nuggets' actions were far beyond the defense.

As for the reason why the referee did not call, everyone knows it well.

However, when Yang Fan changed from a spectator to a client, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

Although the defensive intensity of both sides was very sufficient throughout the first half, the players' shooting feel in this game was obviously much better than in the last game.

Finally, after the half, the Nuggets who played at home could only have difficulty:

52:50

He led the Thunder by two points and ended the first half of the match between the two sides.

"Fuck, the referees are obviously targeting us in this game. Their defensive actions in the first half were so exaggerated, but they just didn't blow it!"

"This group of people is really hateful. They are maliciously manipulating the game. I must report them to the referee union!!"

In the player's lounge, Yang Fan sat on the side and looked obviously not very good-looking, and assistant coach Snyder punched the locker in anger.

Obviously, the referee's call in the first half made the Thunder feel very dissatisfied, especially for Snyder, who participated in this fierce competition system in the first year, it made him feel full of malice.

"Hey, although anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on, instead of complaining here, we should think of a solution."

"After all, this kind of thing has not been done in a year or two, and it cannot be solved in just a few words."

Seeing Snyder looking very angry, Plino, who had been in the league for nearly 10 years, immediately persuaded Snyder.

When Yang Fan looked up and saw this scene, he was slightly moved.

Because the scene in front of Yang Fan at this time was like a life, Snyder was like a young man who had just entered society.

He was full of passion in his heart, and he dared to express his anger bluntly towards the various unfairnesses in society.

Plino, who was standing by, has been in the NBA for nearly 10 years, and is like a middle-aged man who has been beaten by society.

After experiencing many unfair treatments, he has completely given up his passion.

In the face of reality, he had to bow his head and became the character he once hated the most, and his choice was just to survive here.

After all, this is the survival rule and experience of a normal person.

"Okay, just say less. Stephen, the referee's call in the second half may not be particularly rigorous, so you must control your emotions. Remember, you must control your emotions!"

"Especially be careful of Deng Tai. He has been provoking you in the first half of the match against you. Don't fall into his tricks, because their purpose is to anger you."

"So you must first control your emotions in the second half. If you really can't bear it, then you must tell me as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, once you are successfully angered by the opponent, you should know the consequences more than anyone else. After all, you have experienced the infamous Auburn Mountain incident."

"But at this moment we have a great future, so I think you should know what to do."

Looking at the head coach Yang Fan in front of him who was serious and repeatedly reminding him, although Jackson felt very unhappy, he also knew that what Yang Fan said was right.

Even if Jackson hadn't become extremely restrained, then with Deng Tai Jones' defensive moves in the first half, Jackson would have been unable to help but go up and hit him with a combination of punches.

If it were five years ago, Jones would have been lying on the ground in the stadium. After all, the title of "Martial Saint" is enough to prove a lot of things.

"Okay, coach, I'll control it."

Seeing Jackson assured him, Yang Fan felt a little relieved.

After all, what Yang Fan was most worried about in the first half was that Jackson could not control his emotions and then made some big mistakes.

You know, the Thunder have no advantage in this round of the series, and once Jackson is suspended in this round of the series, the Thunder can basically announce the bad luck in advance.

Especially when the player defending Jackson is Deng Tai Jones, even if the league bans these two people at the same time, the Thunder will suffer the losses.

And Yang Fan, the player Deng Tai Jones, is very clear about it. The Cavaliers were able to turn the Warriors 1:3 in the finals, and Jones's role was very huge.

Because strictly speaking, he has the same role as Mason, rather than a player, he is a thug.

It's just that he is more capable of playing than Mason in terms of football. Similarly, this is the main reason why the Cavaliers used the last place to choose to sign Jones.

"Desmond."

"What about this! Coach!"

When Mason heard Yang Fan call out his name, he even suspected that he had an illusion. After all, he was not in this round of series.

So Mason simply couldn't find any clue about Yang Fan's sudden search for him.

But even so, when he heard Yang Fan call him, Mason still appeared in front of him immediately.

After all, Mason remembers very clearly that Yang Fan once told him during the regular season that as long as he can recognize his position in the team, the team will have his place wherever he goes.

Mason is very clear about the meaning of Yang Fan's words. After all, Mason is too familiar with how many pounds he has. Yang Fan will not find himself in playing basketball, so the thing he can find is undoubtedly hitting people.

Looking at Mason who appeared in front of him in an instant, Yang Fan subconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he licked his slightly dry lips as if he was smiling.
