After fighting the Bucks, the Thunder team flew back to Oxland.

The schedule is only one day off. Su Yang slept until noon before getting up. He first checked various situations with MT company, and then logged into the Warcraft to find someone to take the Lich King dungeon for two hours. As a result, he did not get the equipment he wanted and his face was extremely dark.

In the evening, Su Yang and Jiang Ruolan watched the Lakers' match against the Warriors together, and chatted nonsense.

The Lakers were full on both offense and defense at the beginning, leading the Warriors by 16 points in the first quarter, and maintaining high-pressure offense and defense without any mercy in the second quarter. The game ended in the middle of the third quarter, and the Warriors were 30 points behind, and Jeremy Lin took the stage to replace Curry.

Jeremy Lin first received a pass from his teammate and scored a score, then broke through and rushed to the basket and caused a foul, and scored four points in a row.

Unfortunately, the Lakers seemed to be ashamed of Jeremy Lin's continuous scores, and soon strengthened his defense and deliberately targeted it.

After the third quarter, Jeremy Lin made 1 of 6 shots, but fortunately, he made 3 of 3 shots in the fourth quarter and scored 13 points in the game.

The Lakers beat the Warriors 28 points, and also maintained a winning streak, continuing to tie the league with the Thunder.

That situation has once again sparked heated discussions among many fans. The two teams will start in five days in the first match of the new season.

Before that, the Thunder need to fight against the Timberwolves and Mavericks first, while the Lakers only need to fight against the Bulls.

The Lakers will get more rest time. The Thunder still has two players in recovery. The victory balance is significantly biased towards the Lakers. In major casinos in Las Vegas, the odds of betting on the Lakers will be lower and lower.

Early the next morning, Su Yang drove his newly bought Volvo to the training base and had a meeting with the coaching staff and scouting team.

The meeting lasted fifteen minutes, and the main Timberwolves had too obvious weaknesses, and they only needed to strengthen their defense at critical moments.

The team doctor then gave the latest examination report, saying that Durant can make a comeback and Green can make a comeback against the Lakers, but Dai Quinn Cook had a slight torn rotator cuff muscle and Livingston's fingers were slightly contusion, so he needed a quit.

Su Yang originally planned to give Durant a rest, but considering the competition for MVP, he still asked Durant about his own thoughts.

Durant said he wanted to fight, and Su Yang immediately activated him to the list of plays and announced that he had officially returned to participate in the battle.

The game starts at 7 o'clock in the evening.

The Timberwolves sent Terfer, Wesley Johnson, Beasley, Mirisic and Love as the starting lineup.

After several rounds of the game, Su Yang discovered that the Timberwolves had not tried any triangular attack. His head coach Cote Lambis seemed to have given up on the implementation, but the Timberwolves did not play triangular attack, and the tactics became free to play, and they were blindly beaten.

Anyway, Cote Lambis only knows triangular attacks and hasn't learned the essence yet. It is probably because the Lakers, who have taken over the ok combination in the middle of the 1998-99 season, got nearly 65% ​​winning rate, which made him feel that "I can do it if I get on."

Interestingly, Love and Beasley are able to score more efficiently through singles with their outstanding talent.

But the two occupy most of the ball. As a rookie, it is difficult for Wesley Johnson to touch basketball.

Su Yang instructed that the first quarter could be played more easily and Durant was more in a state, and the Thunder were only one point ahead.

Then he entered the substitute against the bench stage, Harden made 5 of 6 shots strongly, helping the Thunder lead 11 points at the end of the half.

After returning from the break at halftime, the Timberwolves had no sense of urgency. The loss culture was at work, so they still beat the ball in a few random ways.

At the end of the game, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 117-104, and the winning streak expanded to 14 games.

Durant scored 28 points with his free throw of 16 of 17 shots, with 6 of 16 shots. His comeback performance was quite average, which attracted many fans to say that Harden was still a foul or a bad idea, and he should learn more from Durant.

On the 23rd, the Thunder's Day off, the Lakers played against the Bulls at home and finally narrowly won 98-91.

The pressure moved to the Thunder again, but the Mavericks boss Cuban tweeted and stole the show, saying that the Mavericks would defeat the Thunder in advance.

Many fans laughed at Cuban for overestimating his abilities, but the Thunder themselves did not dare to be careless and trained and prepared for the game as usual.

No. 24, the Thunder played against the Mavericks at home, and nine people rotated, fought for four quarters, and narrowly won by three-point advantage.

In the whole game, the Thunder intentionally relaxed their suppression of Kidd and used more defensive resources to target Terry and Deshen Stevenson, allowing Terry to make 3 of 11 shots, and Deshen Stevenson only made three shots, greatly suppressing the Mavericks' firepower from the outside.

Kidd made 3 of 12 shots in the game, including 1 of 9 three-pointers, with zero free throws, and only 7 points were recorded.

At the post-match press conference, the reporter asked if there would be any special adjustments in the face of the upcoming Thunder Lake Battle.

Su Yang replied: "There is no special adjustment, except for Jeff Green, who will make a formal comeback, everything else will be the same."

It can be said that the next day, Su Yang pulled the coaching staff to watch the video early and found that the Lakers' overall pace was faster than last season. Unlike the Spurs' active pursuit of speed, the Lakers were playing fast with the mood to prove, and Phil chose to ignore it.

Although they have won consecutive victories, the fastest Lakers are not the strongest Lakers, because the advantage of the two towers is more in positional battles.

Su Yang decisively formulated a strategy to speed up the pace.

No. 16, the Thunder team flew to Los Angeles.

The game started at 7:30, with well-known Lakers fans such as Meghan Fox coming to support it, and the stars were everywhere.

The Lakers won the jump ball, Fisher advanced from the backcourt, and Bynum received the ball in the frontcourt and hit the iron. It took a total of fourteen seconds. Compared with the Lakers' average first attack time in the first two seasons, the pace is one faster, which is obviously more dependent on the personal abilities of Lakers players.

The Thunder grabbed the defensive rebound, Westbrook happily pushed the fast attack, facing Gasol who was squatting, he pulled it out in one step within the three-point line.

Unfortunately, the basketball slammed the iron, but when the Lakers turned around, they quickly got off. Kobe leaned back to the front and flipped over and shot the iron.

Westbrook ran and jumped to grab the rebound, and the Thunder launched a fast break again. In just six seconds, Durant succeeded in riding a horse and shooting archery.

Turning around with the Lakers' offense, Gasol directly asked Kobe to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. He didn't run into the triangle offense and scored in ten seconds.

In that way, the pace of the two teams was so fast that it was difficult to reverse. The Dewey duo scored various points against the Korkoga duo.

After the first quarter, the Thunder led 36 to 31, and Durant suffered two fouls, with a high potential risk.

However, the Dewey duo scored 27 points, making a total of 10 of 15 shots, far exceeding the Koga duo.

In the second quarter, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams did not change, but the referee's dictation was particularly tight. Sefrosa did not defend Kobe, Ibaka did not defend Gasol, and Chandler did not defend Bynum, so the three players made a total of 11 of 13 shots.

Fortunately, Harden, who performed well in the previous few games, once again played a strong performance, teamed up with Green, who had just returned, with 5 of 6 shots and 4 free throws, helping the Thunder lose only 3 points in a single quarter, allowing the Thunder to lead the Lakers by 2 points at the end of the half.

After returning from the break at halftime, the experienced Phil Jackson discovered the disadvantages of playing fast and instructed the Lakers to slow down and strengthen their defense.

Su Yang took advantage of the situation to use two or three joint defense, which made Kobe, Gasol and Bynum make a total of 2 of 13 shots.

But on the Thunder, because of the Lakers' high-intensity defense, only Durant can score, and he was overtaken by 2 points after the third quarter.

The two teams spent a lot of physical strength when they fought. When the fourth quarter started, the Lakers only left Odom, the main player on the court.

Su Yang acted at the sight of the situation, and the Thunder substitute lineup accelerated the offensive rhythm again, successfully allowing the Lakers substitute lineup led by Odom to play faster. Then, in three and a half minutes, a 15-2 attack wave was launched, which made Phil Jackson quickly paused.

The Thunder was vigorous, and Su Yang refused to give him a chance, forcibly speeded up the offensive rhythm, forcing the Lakers to be unable to rest.
