As the Thunder defeated the Spurs by 15 points, this undoubtedly refreshed the outside world's understanding of the Thunder again.

If people have accepted that the Thunder have grown into a strong team, a team that can compete for the championship before the start of the season.

But after the Thunder defeated the Spurs with a big score, people found that their judgment on the Thunder was still in a misunderstanding.

Simply put, it is because I haven't really realized the terribleness of the Thunder.

No matter what, the Spurs are a veteran team in the league after all, and are basically one of the most powerful contenders for the championship every year.

As a result, in this game against the Thunder, the Spurs seemed to have no power to fight back.

Even though both sides had a match at a certain period of time, they were equal and no distinction.

But as the game progressed, the Thunder's smooth team attack made the Spurs unable to resist.

This situation obviously shocked many fans. The strength of the Thunder in the new season also shocked which team can give the Thunder its first defeat in the new season.

…………

In the next few games, the Thunder won three more games, improving the season's record to 9 wins and 0 losses, and has not lost a single defeat so far.

However, just as more and more fans began to speculate about which team could give the Thunder its first defeat in the new season, the Thunder once again refreshed people's perception.

That is, after winning nine consecutive victories at the start of the game, the Thunder made the first attempt to:

89:95

6 points lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, ranked second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

It can be said that the loss in this game is definitely much beyond people's expectations.

No one expected that facing the 76ers ranked last in the Eastern Conference and fourth to the bottom in the league, the Thunder would actually capsize in the gutter, and the entire game was as listless as sleepwalking on the offensive end.

The loss of this game not only ended the Thunder's nine consecutive wins in the season, but also lost the first loss of the season in a way that people never expected.

Throughout the game, the Thunder were in a state of inaccuracy on the offensive end, and everyone joined forces to beat the Philadelphia's basket's neck. Those who didn't know thought there was a musical performance in the stadium.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the Thunder lost to the 76ers in this game, the outside world's perception of the Thunder has been refreshed again.

That is, although the Thunder is very powerful on the offensive end, even a defensive team like the Spurs can only be shot through.

But once the Thunder's offensive feel enters a power outage, the entire team will become a suicide brigade.

Facing the 76ers at the bottom of the league, they can only lose regretfully. I have to say that this is somewhat sad.

Throughout the game, the Thunder's shooting percentage on the offensive end was a total of 36.7%. As for the three-pointer that the team is best at, it was also low as 25.6%.

In this situation, Yang Fan looked helpless on the court. Even though he made adjustments to the lineup many times, shooting and shooting seemed to be contagious.

After everyone came on the court, they made a blacksmith. The only person who performed normally was Richard Hamilton, who contributed 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist with a shooting percentage of 6 of 12 shots.

In addition, the performance of others is completely unbearable to look at it. Even Kevin Durant, the star of the game, only made 6 of 19 shots, and handed over a scattered 15 points and 7 rebounds.

After losing this game, ESPN still ranked the Thunder in the league in terms of the new combat power rankings.

However, the chances of winning the championship of the entire Thunder team have declined slightly, because many experts have publicly stated that the Thunder's style of playing may be very lethal in the regular season.

But once you enter the playoffs with more intense defensive intensity, the Thunder will likely reveal their prototypes.

So "experts" said that the Thunder may be in the second round of the playoffs this year, and it will be very difficult to even touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Faced with the various remarks like hindsight from the outside world, Yang Fan, as the head coach, did not take it seriously except for wanting to laugh.

After all, if Yang Fan remembers correctly, these so-called experts said this last year, saying that although the Thunder's offense is excellent, they will definitely be silent in the playoffs.

When the Thunder were sure to face the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, these experts even jumped out and stepped on the Thunder to prove their vision.

But in the end, the Thunder in the playoffs not only did not silence, but also defeated the Nuggets, which was like using the sole to hit the expert's face and thrust wildly.

And after defeating the Nuggets, these experts seemed to have completely disappeared overnight, and they could be said to be without a trace, making people unable to get a clue.

As a result, after losing to the Mavericks in the Thunder semi-finals, these experts jumped out immediately.

I took out the temporary manuscript and analyzed the data that I didn't even have any pens and ink, saying that I guessed this result a long time ago...

For example, the whale who slapped the face every day in later generations?!

In addition, Yang Fan is very clear that although the small ball style has promoted a reform in the league, its disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it relies heavily on the players' shooting efficiency on the field.

In this process, once the player's shooting feel deviates on the field, the entire team is likely to lose to any opponent.

Because for a team like the Thunder that is mainly offensive, once they get confused on the offensive end, there is no need to give too much pressure from the outside world, and they can basically kill themselves.

Although Yang Fan has been avoiding the team becoming a team that relies too much on offense, at the same time, Yang Fan also asked Snyder and others to emphasize the team's arrangement on the defensive end.

But whether it is time to say it or not, although these players in the Thunder are very good in their personal abilities, their defensive abilities are average.

Whether it is Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Jamison or Hamilton, the defensive ability of these people can only be said to be at the league average level, and they cannot be called defensive players at all.

Even when Curry meets a point guard with a strong attack power like Deron Williams, it is rare to be able to ensure that he does not become a defensive loophole.

Therefore, when players have limited defensive capabilities, the Thunder have always tried their best to make up for it through tactical movements on the defensive end, thus using powerful offensive firepower to kill the game.

In this game against the 76ers, the Thunder had some problems on the offensive end. They faced open spaces several times, so they lost the game regretfully.

It can be said that the loss in this game has nothing to do with the Sixers' defense. The main reason is that the Thunder itself failed to grasp the shots that should have hit.

During the whole long season, Yang Fan obviously could not prevent such a situation, so what he could do was to try to make the team more stable in running-in.

After all, even though he lost to the 76ers in the last game, the Thunder's record is still 9 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league.

The reason why they are inferior to the Lakers and Celtics in ESPN's combat power rankings is undoubtedly because the Lakers and Celtics have more balanced offense and defense.

Even though he is not as good as the Thunder on the offensive end, he is much better than the Thunder on the defensive end.

So if you really let go and fight a tough battle, then who will win the battle will be killed? It is really not certain.

However, as the saying goes, Shanren has his own tricks. Although in the eyes of others, the Lakers and Celtics at this time are what a strong team should look like.

But in Yang Fan's opinion, even though the Lakers and Celtics are balanced in offense and defense, they are full of loopholes...
