When he discussed with Budenholzer before, the main tactical thinking was how to increase the offensive success rate of positional warfare.

With the high success rate of positional battles, the Thunder will have fewer chances of defensive counterattacks.

This is the right idea.

But what Tang Tian said was another way of thinking, and in comparison, it can be said to be a more effective way of thinking.

If you want to be quick, I won't let you get better soon.

You are young, and my three wings are also young!

And not only with offense, but also fighting for defense, it is not a loss at all.

"The weakness of this lineup is positional battle. I think I can choose to start Tony and Tim." Tang Tian then added.

Popovich couldn't help but cough twice at this time.

It seems that Tang Tian said everything.

He has nothing to say!

Parker + Green + Tang Tian + Leonard + Duncan.

Parker's organizational ability is no weaker than Ginobili, and Duncan's support ability is no less than Dior.

This lineup can be said to be an upgraded version of the three-wing lineup against the Clippers.

Moreover, considering that the Thunder team does not have independent offensive capabilities in the interior, there will be no major problems on the defensive end.

Although I don’t want to admit that my thinking is a bit unsatisfactory, Tang Tian’s suggestion is indeed very appropriate.

"You guy makes me feel really old."

Popovich was not Kahon, he had no stubborn thoughts at all, and he said with a self-deprecating smile.

"At most, you will think of the next game, old man, and this three-wing lineup is also your idea."

Tang Tian came to a wave of commercial mutual bragging.

Popovich couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Tang Tian really doesn't look like a 20-year-old.

After chatting for a few more words, when Tang Tian left, he called Budenholzer to call back.

The two of them perfected their tactics overnight.

During the training class the next day, he directly moved his new tactical ideas to the team training class.

It seems that the starting lineup is just a person's adjustment, but the tactical ideas and other aspects are completely different, so training is a must.

Fortunately, the players are familiar with the main tactical ideas and adapt quickly.

After two days, I basically mastered it.

"Don't let the efforts of the first two games be wasted, I'll look at you."

After the last training session before the game, Popovich said seriously to the players.

The next game is very critical for both sides.

The Thunder won the total score 2-2, and everything returned to the starting point.

If the Spurs win, the big score will come to 3-1 and will directly reach their match point.

This will directly determine the trend of the entire series.

It was not just Popovich who was serious. Even Ginobili didn't say anything more slutty in the Spurs locker room before the game.

The Pisachek Energy Arena has already filled up.

Winning the last game greatly increased the confidence of the Ox City fans.

TNT's Big Three also appeared on the sidelines in this game.

Compared to the hand-to-hand battle between the Eastern Heat and those old guys, this side is obviously more eye-catching.

"Shake, who do you hope to win this game?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Hope? Of course I hope the Thunder won, not because I'm a fan of them, but I hope this series will play a little longer."

"In this way, you can get more money for commentary on the game?" Barkley said immediately.

"Don't explain, Shaq, I know you're retired now and you're no longer a rich man." Before O'Neal could answer, he immediately spoke again.

Barkley's words made O'Neal and Smith laughed at once.

This is very Barkley, and you can always find some absurd entry points.

"I hope the Spurs can win." Smith expressed his point of view at this time.

"It's not because I'm the godfather's nephew." Smith and Barkley had been mingling for a long time, and had learned to steal the conversation now.

Barkley was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but spread his hands and smile.

"If the Thunder wins this game, the series will reach 6 or even 7 games. It's not a good thing for an older team like the Spurs."

After all, Smith was the most serious of the three. After saying this, Barkley and O'Neal nodded at the same time.

In fact, after looking through the playoffs in the past two years, this is indeed a problem for the Spurs.

After the average age comes, as long as they are dragged into a tug-of-war, it will be difficult for them to win in the end.

This is also one of the reasons why they haven't entered the finals for a long time.

In other words, the criticality of this game to the Spurs is probably more important than most people think.

The warm-up before the game ended and the opening ceremony entered.

The Spurs' starting lineup was first introduced to play.

With this new starting lineup, Brooks caught off guard on the Thunder, and the Big Three in the commentary seat was also very surprised.

"There is no center in their lineup, this is a small lineup." Smith hit the nail on the head.

"Is Popovich stealing the Spoelstra next door?" Barkley teased with a smile.

"Maybe they have started to prepare for the Heat." O'Neal took the speech.

No one guessed the Spurs’ true intentions at the first time.

However, the Spurs made starting adjustments, while the Thunder also made adjustments on the other hand.

Harden replaced Sovlosa and entered the starting lineup!

"Oh, this game is really interesting!" O'Neal couldn't help but yell after seeing the starting lineup of the Thunder.

"Yes, it seems that Brooks doesn't want Moji either. He wants to get the game straight at the beginning!" Smith nodded and agreed.

The four young men all went on the game, and they were preparing to catch the start and did not give the Spurs too many opportunities.

And it is also a disguised physical strength.

Young is capital!

Both sides have adjusted the starting lineup, which has made the fans on the scene feel even more excited.

This is the intensity that can be foreseen before it even started.

Tang Tian was not too surprised to see the starting lineup of the Thunder.

The Thunders opened the scores in the last game because the four young men were present, and Brooks' adjustment was reasonable.

However, this will be beneficial to the Spurs.

The fourth young master of Thunder starts, just like the opponent shows the sharpest blade from the beginning.

But as long as it blocks its initial edge, the sword will become weaker and weaker.

Ibaka jumped to Duncan and kicked off the fourth World War in the Western Conference Finals.

Durant hit a mid-range shot from Harden's pass in the frontcourt.

The Thunders look very good.

“defense!defense!”

The fans at the scene also seemed particularly excited, and they cheered in unison as soon as the game started, directly promoting the atmosphere of the game.

The Thunder's defense intensity on the court was very strong, and Leonard's breakthrough layup was interfered by Ibaka and failed to score.

Ibaka took advantage of the situation to catch the defensive rebound, and Harden and Westbrook were about to get off the ground.

However, Ibaka's ball failed to pass.

Green and Westbrook, Don Tian and Harden, and Leonard delay Durant.
Chapter completed!
